This is not the old Billingsleys Restaurant, it’s owned by a restaurant group called Byte to Bite. The fish tanks are gone and the decor is less dated. They still have a full bar. The menu has a few choices in each category. We got the Roasted Artichoke and Crispy Brussels Sprouts to start. Both were very enjoyable. We got the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich which was great and very filling, we got the Three Cheese Burger with a fondue of the three cheeses, very good and very rich. The Cedar Plank Salmon was a bit too salty and the onion relish on top was not a good compliment to the dish. We also got the New York Strip Steak which was perfectly cooked and the mashed potatoes and broccoli were excellent. For dessert we got the brownie and it was delicious. The House Blend Wine is a good value and a very good wine. Our server was very capable and accommodating without being intrusive. We will definitely be back. There is nowhere right now where you can see the menu online and I realize that I could have photographed it but I am just realizing that now. The prices are very reasonable for the area and the quality. Well worth a look.

Wish I had read reviews instead of just looking at overall rating. Didn't complain because I thought it was the same neighborhood restaurant that's been there for decades that was falling on hard times and I felt bad for them. Saw in other reviews that's not the case. Ordered prime rib and filet. Neither cuts of meat looked quite right. Both were overcooked. No jus or horseradish given. My broccoli was cold in spots which makes me think it wasn't microwaved long enough. Mashed potatoes were gluey. Service was fine. But I should have gone to Sizzlers. Could have saved a lot of money and would have had a better meal.

Not the old Billingsley’s. No green goddess salad. Prime rib was really bad. Not sure if they’re going for a blackened rub, which isn’t mentioned on the menu, but whatever it was made the steak inedible. Black crust that tasted like burnt chili powder. Ordered medium and it came well done and cold. My side loaded potato, also cold, came with butter, chives and cheese. No bacon or sour cream. Side salad came with no dressing. When I asked for the potato toppings and dressing I waited 10 minutes and had to ask another server to find what I had asked for. They’re still operating as a delivery ghost kitchen for multiple brands and clearly the line cooks are incapable of cooking basic steaks at the proper temperature. One star for the kitchen manager coming to the table to listen to our issues and comp’ng my meal and my sons. Hopefully they can improve.

After a short wait, we were seated in this very busy restaurant. Great selection of dishes which were all excellent although I would probably pass on the fried yucca! The service was good and would recommend this reasonably priced restaurant.

I really like this place! The food and staff are both great! I was lucky enough to live in Greece for a while a few years ago and this is the first place in LA I found with delicious, authentic Greek food and trust me I have tried many in my search. My favorite is pastitsio ! Do yourself a favor and try it. I also recommend a plate of tsitziki for the table, no matter what you order. And definitely a glass of retsina or two. The staff are great, very friendly and happy to answer questions or make suggestions. I always find them smiling when we walk in. There is a bit of atmosphere, it's a secret place and the focus is on food and people, not atmosphere. But I don't think that detracts from this gem of a restaurant in the slightest, in any case, it gives it away, it's charm. It's simple, but take a few friends with you, try something new and you'll have a great experience! Highly recommend!

I was impressed with the quality of the ingredients used by this establishment. The quality of the olive oil alone is remarkable. My friend and I ordered (highly recommended) octopus potatoes, beef carpaccio, duck ragu and a plate of shrimp pasta. Because how amazing the restaurant is - the prices are absolutely reasonable. I will be back again.

We came here for a local breakfast while staying nearby. We came both days and absolutely loved it! The biscuits and gravy are very southern and were our favorites! Best we've had on the west coast! Would love to visit again. Our server was very friendly and served us both days. Great experience!

I was in the mood for a solid steak, but didn’t want to pay the ridiculous prices of many other steak joints in town. I came to Billingsley without too much for expectation. I was pleasantly surprised. It was easy to find and quiet. I was sat and immediately offered a drink and menu. The salad was topped with the “green goddess” ranch dressing. It was fantastic. They also provided a melted cheese on toast. Tasted great. I ended up with a ribeye and it was as good as I was hoping. The staff was friendly, the place was clean, and prices were in line. Give this place a shot. You won’t be disappointed.
