On 1/13/2026 Cindy Alexander had this to say:
On our way to Billy's seafood, we stopped in for a cold beer and appetizer. We had the " pretzel" with cheese. This was the best version of a "pretzel" we have ever had. It is phenomenal and more like a homemade, baked salted bread. It is very hard to describe. l.Highly recommend. Will be back to try some different options and of course the "pretzel" again! Great job!

Reviewing for Saturday 1/3/26 around 5pm-ish. It is a seat yourself restaurant. We had a party of 9 (4 adults & 5 kids/teens) and we were able to split between 2 tables just fine. Morgan was a waitress and she was amazing! Very attentive and on it with our tables. There was live music when we arrived, so it was loud but we could talk to each other at our own table. They didn't play too much longer after we arrived. The food was very delicious! I came for their beer battered fish & blackened shrimp and they were delicious! (FYI: There is a cash discount, so pay in cash if possible).

We each had fish & chips. The cod tasted pretty fresh but the beer batter was slightly thicker than we are used to. It was good tho. The ff were nice and crispy.
