Billy Jack’s Burger Shack

Cheap grilled burgers and cold beers, dive bar done right. No complaints, exactly what I was expecting. The red pepper relish on my burger hit the spot.

I think the food if you get hot sucks burgers are dry and over cooked read the health report’s and not good rodent droppings and not very clean the owner is a lady who acts like your putting her out to order anything and she’s more worried about getting a date than her business

Like the other reviews say, it’s a dive. Not that that is a bad thing. But I found the food to be average at best. Wife had a Chicago dog and I had a burger. She said hers was really good. My burger was overdone (they only cook them medium well which is too done for me). It was fried not grilled. And it was not very big. The large fries are the best deal, for 50 cents more than a small. Lots of regulars even on a Sunday afternoon. It was okay but we wouldn’t drive out of our way to go there.

Love the wings and cheap beer. Great dive bar feel!

So this is a dive bar with great beer specials and delicious old fashion burgers. I give it 5 stars based on that. What it is not is a fancy lounge or a restaurant. It has full liquor, about 10 TVs, a cool a$$ bartender, $ 1 beer special of Miller, Bud, Yeung Lin and Guinness Blonde as the fancy beers. Burgers are delicious but not fancy. If you want fancy go to Engine No 9. Tons of Largo locals. They are supposed to have a cool karaōke and trivia nights but we didn’t go there at night. So if you are the vicinity and want a really good burger, OK fries, and $ 2 beers for less that $ 10 bucks while watching the game then this is the place.

Went Sunday 7pm, biker’s atmosphere, I pent some time and finally someone came from the outside and informed thay they were closed.

This place has great burgers. Service is outstanding. Very clean and geeat prices.

Food was worth the visit (smothered chicken sandwich and cheese fries). Service was great until it came time to wait for our food (close to 30 minutes in a not very busy restaurant). Server was great. Can recommend billy jacks just be ready to wait.

Billy Jacks is a cool hole in the wall. They definitely have some CHEAP, but decent quality food. The double burger actually had a great taste to it, a little bland but good quality for the price. It was nicely wrapped, the way you find at a local dairy stand. The fries were so-​so. The place is a local-​yokel spot and they do alot of karaōke. Don’t bring anyone you want to impress, but for a cheap night and some laughs this place isn’t bad.
For the price, I would come back here over five guys or one of the other burger chain trends out right now.
Advice for Billy Jack’s
Use sea salt on the fries (sparingly), not cheap table salt, and also garnish fries with parsley flakes.

They specialize in burgers… so order a BURGER! Yes, it’s great. Definitely the closest thing to a homemade burger you are going to find in the area. My coworkers and I were not disappointed. It is a bar so if you are looking for a place to take the kids, it may not be your cup-​of-​tea. But all-​in-​all the service and food were both good and I would definitely recommend it.

We found this burger joint through Unilocal,and it was pretty good. The burgers were tasty and very messy, but that’s what napkins are for. The fries were very good as well. This was our second time going there, so that has to count for something. This is a BAR, so if you are looking for a restaurant, you may not be that comfortable, but everyone is friendly and courteous.

I’ve been twice, the first time I got the double cheeseburger and onion rings. Very delicious, but very sloppy. The second time I learned my lesson and went for two regular cheeseburgers instead of the double. The burgers are great, as well as the fries and onion rings.
Thanks to Unilocal I knew I was entering a bar atmosphere and not some fancy restaurant. The service was good each time, and the prices are reasonable.
If you like burgers, give this place a try. If the bar atmosphere bothers you, order them to go.

Went here with a big group of friends for Karaōke one Friday night. We usually do Karaōke at Pete’s place in Tampa but decided to try something new. Boy, I’m glad we did! I thought this place was great. It was big enough to hold a decent amount if people on a busy weekend night, but not too big that you ‘d fear you’d never see your waitress again. Speaking of waitresses, they were absolutely wonderful! We had a large group (16 – 18 people) and I was bracing for a hard time to place a food order or grab a drink. This was not the case as the waitresses were very friendly and were always there to refill your glass as needed .
I really enjoyed the Karaōke set up. The hosts were very friendly and tried to include as many people as possible (I was surprised how many of our non singer friends hot on stage to give it a try. Not me though. Not even auto tune could save me !).
The food looked good as well and you can’t beat the prices. Gotta love $ 2 domestic drafts ! I hope to go back here in the not so distant future.

Billy Jacks is a locals place … just spend 5 minutes in there and you’ll agree.
But that’s OK with me, I just want to eat a burger.
They serve a serviceable bar burger here with lots of options. I had cheddar, raw onion, pickle and jalapeño (olé).
The fries looked forgettable but they were actually really really good. They come in plain, garlic and something else. I’m old school — get the regular … Why screw up a delicious fry?
The beer is Bud et. all. Its still beer and you can drink it.
They place doesn’t look like much, but its clean and doesn’t smell. A lot of bars can’t say that.

This place is tremendously fun, casual, and friendly! Trivia is my favorite part, except, of course, when people pull out their cells to look up answers despite having been asked repeatedly NOT to do that very thing. So, order a taco salad, a pitcher, and say «No» to cheaters!

We only recently started going to Billy Jack’s because of Eric and his TriviAddiction trivia night. He has the best trivia show in the Bay area! The questions are hard but not impossible to answer and he makes the show super fun. We have played many a trivia game with TriviAddiction at other locations and have never been disappointed. While we all love our electronic devices, this is sad to say but there should be a ban on all electronics if you are playing trivia. If you feel that you have to cheat to win a bar tab, then you have way bigger issues going on!!!
Billy Jack’s has the best wings and burgers! Their food prices are cheap and they have great drink specials. You’ll get the best service anywhere and always with a smile!

Bar food is marginal. The trivia game is fun but unless your one of their regulars you don’t stand a chance at winning. Everyone in there has cell phones. I happened to take some pictures of the place for Unilocal posting, while playing trivia. Disqualified. It’s just a game. Not everyone cheats.

I have to confess that I have never had any food here, but I will soon! We’ve been several times on Sunday afternoons to drink a cold beer (or four) while we wait for our bedding to dry at the laundry mat next door (my washer and dryer are too small to do the bedding in, boo hiss)
The thing that stands out the most to me is that this is one the the CLEANEST bars that I have ever been in. I’m totally serious. The beer is cold but they don’t have any frozen mugs but if you ask the bartender to put a glass in the freezer, they are more than happy to do so.
There also seems to be quite a few regulars here which is always a good sign.
I promise to update my review after I try the food!

Thanks Unilocaler’s for helping me find another great lunch spot.
When you first walk up, it doesn’t look like much. a few picnic tables outside with plastic chairs and some ashtrays. But then you walk in and BAM… this place is HUGE inside. All wood floors, gigantic bar, game room to your right, stage to the left… nice; I was impressed (see pictures!).
Initial thoughts: «Shack» is definitely a misnomer here.
Sat down at an all wooden booth (think mugs and jugs), menu is on the table (added some pics!) and the prices are instantly great looking. Unfortunately I mistook Thursday for Wednesday and ordered a dozen wings (they’re 50 cents on Wednesday… oops. and pictured!) and a double-​cheeseburger with grilled onions, bacon, and mushrooms (pictured!).
The waitress (who was also the bartender during lunch) was very personable. The food finally came and everything was outstanding. The wings were crispy without being breaded and the fries were nice and thin and tasty (think El-​Cap style fries). And then the star of the show… the double-​cheeseburger. Delicious. The bacon was also cooked perfectly. The beef patties were both of generous proportions and even the bun was right on.
I may have gone a little picture crazy but all I saw on here was a store-​front and raving reviews and no idea what I was walking into.
Another impressive piece is that for a seemingly-​slow place, they seem to have a great POS system and are able to split checks and items on checks with no hassle at all. For instance, I got the price of my burger, half the wings, half the fries, and my drink on my bill. PERFECT.
My ONLY gripe is that all of their burgers come medium-​well (says so on the menu, so I didn’t ask for it otherwise). My feeling is, when you’re known for burgers, let me order it how I want it cooked. (One of the main reasons I don’t go to Five Guys)
I will definitely be back and be bringing more people.

Great burgers and extremely affordable. I ordered a cheeseburger, tasty cajun fries, and a soda for under $ 7! Woot. It is rare to see perfect harmony of great cheeseburger and fries, but Billy Jack’s has it perfectly down. The cheeseburgers taste home-​cooked and they have a number of specials I want to try in the future. Billy Jack’s could compete with the big burger giants in Tampa, such as Square 1, BGR, and Burger 21 — but is nestled away in Largo. If you’re nearby give it a shot!
The service was also excellent — the waitress was chatty and reminded me of that small-​town diner. The good thing is the restaurant itself looks more like a sports bar and is big enough to handle a crowd. I came fairly early on a stormy Sunday for my meal so it wasn’t packed, but I can imagine locals must love Billy Jack’s.
I will be back to Billy’s next time I am hungry in Pinellas for a great burger.
