Billy Bob's: Parlour - Diner - Play

Looking for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner where the whole family can get their kicks?  Billy Bob’s sure is that place.

From the moment you arrived, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into a 60s American diner and parlor, just like the ones in the flicks.  Dine in a yellow school bus or grab a diner booth and channel your inner Fonzie.  Enjoy a fancy soda from the restored 1940s fountain or, if you’re just passing by, order a coffee from the vintage Airstream or ice cream parlour treat from the counter.

Whether you’re a tot, a teen or heading to your twilight years, Billy Bob’s is a full-on retro American parlor and diner that can’t fail to make you feel like a million bucks.  You bet, Billy Bob's serve those American diner favourites; hot dogs, chilli dogs, handmade burgers and more.  But you’ll also find their take on the best stateside cooking; The Iowa Farm Boy, Louisiana Boudin Balls and Oklahoma Pulled Pork.  Then add in some homemade sides; Burger Fixin’s, Tumbleweed Onion Straws and Hickory Smoked Beans to really make it a memorable meal.  There’s veggie and vegan options aplenty and a separate kid’s menu for under nines to boot.  ​​​​​And at Billy Bob’s, just because kids are often dining too, it doesn’t mean rubbish or bland food.  Nearabout everything is made from scratch in the kitchens, with passion and local ingredients (and for those who like it, a kick of spice here and there wink, wink).  Washed down with a great range of beverages including hard to find ole fashioned floats and hand-pulled sodas.  Think sarsaparilla, orange creamsicle and raspberry lemonade, made at the restored 1940s Chicago soda fountain.

Dessert?  Sure thing.  The nearabout 30 flavours of ice cream are all homemade, over at the sister store in Skipton.  Choose from high-falutin’ flavours like key lime pie, rainbow sherbet or cotton candy; or stick with comforting staples like vanilla, banana and mint choc.  Pile ’em high on a choice of cones, or be the kid in the candy store and go all-out with a decadent sundae, pancake or waffle.

If you’re bringing the ankle biters along, outdoors you’ll find seventh heaven for kids just waiting to be clambered over.  From a plethora of imaginative wooden apparatus, to ole fashioned adventure that even the weather can’t spoil, in the huge play barns.  The rope swings, zip wires, racing slides and foam pit make for a great way to burn off energy from brunch, lunch or dinner, before heading back in for those legen-dairy parlour treats, ice creams, pancakes, sundaes and shakes.

Billy Bob’s sure makes most folks feel like a kid again, whether it’s the toe-tapping tune playing on the jukebox, slurping up a legendary thick shake between bites on a homemade burger, gawping in wonderment at the authentic memorabilia and neons, or having a blast on the awesome play, you'll be planning your next visit before you’ve driven out of the parking lot.
