Billy Gene's Restaurant

This place is wonderful! We stopped here for Sunday lunch during a road trip, and even though it was before noon, the parking lot was mobbed! We got on the wait list and were seated before long. We had time to peruse the dessert case while we waited, and we knew we had to get some cake, no matter what. The interior is spacious and beautiful, with windows all along one side to provide full views of the Guadalupe River just outside. There are a variety of options for seating, all situated to optimize river views. We had a booth, but there are also tables. There is also a dog-friendly outdoor covered dining area with hummingbird feeders. Though there’s not a full bar, you can enjoy wine or bottled beer thoughtfully served with a chilled glass. Our excellent server brought outstanding hot d

Meatloaf, Chuckwagon Burger (medium was perfectly done), Beef Enchiladas, and Hamburger Steak (with cream instead of brown gravy, also done at a perfect-medium) & sweet tea were all excellent. This is our new 'must-do' (rather, 'must-eat-at') spot in Kerrville. And special thanks to "Steph" for superior tableside service. Quality flavor & value are great, but outstanding customer service keeps customers coming back!

This was my second time here & unfortunately both times (2 years apart) were disappointing. Service is great & view in the outdoor seating is great! The food is a let down for sure. No flavor. The fried zucchini had good flavor but the zucchini slices are too thin resulting in each piece being mostly breading. Chicken fried steak could have used salt & other seasonings. I wish I would have gotten a pic of the side salad: pool of water at the bottom, just 2 slices of each: tomato, onion and cucumber. My smothered chicken was definitely smothered. Flavor of the actual chicken was good but way too much salsa. Rolls are super dry. We won’t be back.

We found Billy Gene's when in Mountain Town, TX for a wedding. This place is AMAZING!!! This resteraunt consistently had a full parking lot and was located right on the river, with a dog friendly patio so we had to check it out. Ask for Timothy B, he was our server! Tim was friendly, attentive and very helpful in our efforts to pick selections from a well stocked menu! We LOVED this place and will absolutely plan to return the next time we are near Kerrville. Highly recommend the chicken fried steak, onion rings, strawberry cake, and Texan Salad!! We loved this place so much we ate lunch and ordered additional entrees to go to enjoy later at our hotel!

I had been here once before, and enjoyed the food. My friend had never been to Kerrville, and we planned to celebrate his birthday by visiting the Empty Cross. We stopped at Billy Gene's for lunch. The food was great. I ordered a steak with a side salad and a baked potato. My friend had the meatloaf special with 3 sides. We also split an order of onion rings, which were excellent.
