Restaurant review
Every single time I come to Billy Barooz I am surprised by how many people come here. On a Friday night you can find a lot of young professionals enjoying dinner and socializing. Other days are very busy depending on which sports are on TV. We ended up coming on a day when the Cubs were in the playoff hunt. I was pleasantly surprised that we did not have to wait long for a table of 3. I have been here previously and went with the steak dish which was so so. I decided to try the basic of basic bar foods, which was the burger. There was some special burger on the menu with BBQ sauce, bacon, and cheese. I ordered it with a side of sweet potato fries. The burger itself was good, but not very memorable. I can't say that it was exceptional, but there was nothing that was bad with it. If you like sports, bar food, and lots of TVs then you should give Billy Barooz a try, however the food is very pedestrian.
Pros: lots of TV, inexpensive depending on what you order, the menu constantly changes (check the menu insert for new items)
Cons: can get very busy and a very small waiting area
Hidden deals: None
Health code rating: B. The ratings are so so with a lot of issues revolving around restaurant cleanliness. http://champaign.il.gegov.com/champaign/estab.cfm?facilityID=491
