This has become a tradition of ours. We always eat here on our first night after driving in from the UK & get a table for 1800 when it opens. We find the staff here very friendly indeed & the food is great value for the money. Be warned however if you young children in buggies as you have to climb to flights of stairs to be seated, that aside the place is very clean & the food is hot & plenty of it, would kind of go along the alomost tex/mex feel to the place. This is one place where we don’t feel cramped unlike certain other places. 9 out of 10.

This restaurant is one of the best at the Village, we loved it so much we visited it 3 times. I would advise visitors to go early as it is very popular. I would rate this buffet restaurant 9 out of 10.

First time we visited I was unimpressed being a fussy eater. But then it was partly our fault the lack of choice as we arrived very late. The rest of my family loved it though.

Next trip we went again but this time at the opening time and then I realised what they had been so happy about at the choice, service and everything else was brilliant. We have been at least once everytime since and I would say one of the best restaurants I have visited.

Some advice though – go early as food can become picked over and make sure your wallet is pretty full as it can be tough on it.

We visited Billy Bob’s last December, our second visit. First time round (two years ago) we were so impressed but this time we were quite disappointed.

We had meal vouchers which covered our meal and soft drink cost but one of the party wanted a beer. Unfortunately the waitress then stood over the person with the beer waiting for payment! This was most intimidating. there was a party of eleven of us, how that many people and a toddler asleep in a pram could even try to get down three flights of stairs without paying is beyond me but that is how we were made to feel, as though we we going to make a run for it!

We had extras at other restaurants and didn’t have to pay until the end of the meal, we were given the bill when they could see we had finished, as is customary.

The food was nice, warm and refreshed often, but I wouldn’t visit this restaurant again. Apart from feeling very uncomfortable, the food wasn’t a patch on Hunter’s Grill, both for choice and quality. We were squashed together on a table and all had to move together to be able to get out to get food and also there was nowhere to put the pushchair with the baby asleep in it.

After a long drive from Belgium we arrived at DLP at 5 on a cold November’s night. By the time we has checked in and dumped the luggage in our room the Sequoia Lodge restaurants were jam packed so we headed to Disney Village. And this is where La Grange at Billy Bob’s comes into its own – cold and tired, once you’re seated and drinks have been ordered you simply help yourself – this is surely an ideal stop over for hungry fun seekers on their way from the closed parks back to their hotels??

There was a fantastic choice of the usual Disney buffet items, salads, pastas, etc but also wonderfully fresh and hot Mexicana delights such as chilli con carne, chicken wings and a hot joint of beef ready to be carved by the waiting chef, all served alongside the expected sides – corn on the cob, potato wedges, nachos, , cheese, flour tortillas; great for making fresh burritos!!

Great themed food that ties in with the surroundings rather than just a standard buffet. After the main course there was a great choice of cheeses, breads and fruits as well as more traditional deserts. I wasn’t travelling with children but from what I saw there was a great choice for all the family without sacrificing quality. When I visit again in November 08 with a very fussy 3 year old in tow, this will be where I head!!

Having been to DLP a few times and sampled all variations of the food choices available I think this is one of the best on offer – reasonably priced, good quality hot food, served quickly but not just a burger or pizza in a box. Would definitely recommend for those taking a quick break from the parks or as a stop over between the parks and hotels.

An immense chice of food greets you at Billy Bobs. We had such a large chice we really went overboard. Our 5 yr old loved having her own food range to choose from as did her Mum. Great value for money. The only downside fr a family with small kids is the location at the top of the building. A small inconvenience to enjoy probably the value for money eating experience at DLRP.

I went here last Wednesday night during my holiday and was really impressed. It was upstairs at Billy Bob’s; you can hear the live music from downstairs and there is nice, cosy decor (think wooden – like Sequoia Lodge) It’s a buffet and everything was fresh. Nothing was left out for too long and was refreshed before it ran out, so that none of the food got stodgy, cold or dry. I think it was €25 per adult and there was a lot of choice. Starters: Salad, cheese, bread, potato salad and coleslaw, pasta, meats, olives, fresh vegetables, tortilla chips and salads with eggs and mayonnaise mixed in to it. Mains: Chili con carne, chicken wings, gratinated potatoes, chicken in a sauce, spare ribs, sausages, pasta with cheese sauce, ravioli with meat inside it and some other kinds of meat too. For desserts, there were a lot of pies – blackberry cheesecake, chocolate cake, gateaux, pecan pie, mini doughnuts and a plate full of sweets. (I guess the types of cakes and desserts depends on how many people are there and what they cook that day?)
For drinks, they have all the usual cocktails, sans alcohol cocktails, soft drinks, hot drinks and the best drinks: strange sans alcohol cocktails served in plastic Disneyland Paris cocktail shakers (Apple juice and vanilla syrup or Orange juice with caramel syrup) that you can keep for €5.50.
I really liked it in here, it was good value and variety for money and
a good atmosphere. I just don’t know why we had never been there before!

We always do this on our last night. It’s an all-you-can-eat buffet and the food is really good – a wide range and plenty of it. It’s Tex-Mex but there are plenty of options for people who don’t like spicy food. You help yourself but a waiter/waitress brings your drinks. There is also a chef to carve the meat. It’s right on the top floor at the back so unfortunately you can’t hear the country and western music from Billy Bob’s but if you get a window seat you can look down into the main walkway through the village or over Lake Disney. Very large capacity. We love it.
