Pleasant and clean restaurant with excellent service. I had Poppas Tenderloin. It was as big as the plate. They had a smaller version and two more larger choices if youre feeding a crew. Prices were good. Tea is fresh brewed. Specials during the week. Tenderloin Tuesday. Prime Rib for Saturday dinner. Can get busy. U prefer a bit more seasoning on the tenderloin but the mustard and horseradish sauce amped the flavor nicely. Pickles were a good addition too. Fresh cut fries were excellent.

Great food. Was very surprised by the amount of ymfood for the cost. Well worth your money. I got the tenderloin horseshoe. It was amazing. I added a picture with a phone for scale. It was a lot of foods.

This was our first time and won't be the last. My family was in town from Chicago and decided to make this our first stop since covid started. The chicken horseshoe was amazing and I can't wait to try the tenderloin horseshoe next time. My inlaws had the tenderloin and said it was the best they have ever had. We also enjoyed the cheese cubes and breaded mushrooms. They were also amazing. I will recommend the billboard bistro to everyone. I was also able to meet the owners and found them to be so nice and they made us feel like family.

I had the ribeye steak sandwich and it was amazing! My wife had mac and cheese and the pulled pork sandwich. She said it was the absolute best she's ever had. Chef Gabe came out talked to us which I thought was extremely professional. Along with the food and drinks the atmosphere is phenomenal! They did an amazing job of renovating the building into a welcoming atmosphere with great food, drinks and service!

Answered all of our questions(and we had a lot)The food was fantastic and the portions are huge.We ordered the Papa tenderloin(on special on Thursdays) and the fish dinner.We will definitely be back.

Our first visit here while passing through on vacation. We've seen talks of it on Facebook and had to give it a try. We got the horseshoe (one pony and one regular) with the tenderloin along with their cheese bites and kids mac and cheese. We all really enjoyed our meal. Everything seemed to be made from scratch and was very tasty. We would definitely go back. Service is fairly slow, so expect to be there for an hour at least.

Good huge quality tendorloin. If you like the bar style twice cooked fresh cut style fries then you will loves these. If your looking for nasty processed fries that taste likd everyone elses then the might be too exotic for you. I love em. Be hungrybif you plan to eat here. Yoy get more thsn your moneyd worth.

Hand pounded GIANT tenderloin cooked to perfection with a generous portion of handcut fries. Two of us shared one and our bill was under 25. We have leftovers for lunch tomorrow. Fantastic service. Our waiter was awesome!
