Billboard Bistro - Bartonville

Heard they were reopened and had updated their menu, so I wanted to get a Tenderloin. It was amazing. So fresh. Best I've had in a long time. The ambiance was lively, fellow patrons all seemed satisfied with their food. I ordered the kids tenderloin as I wasn't sure how hungry I was or just how big they got.Servers were great about staying on top of things, Dallas went above and beyond to make sure everything was running smoothly. Could really tell she has good leadership skills. The younger guys were eager to help, nice to see some pep.I'll definitely be back. I want to try the papa and the taco salad.

So I have heard that this place has a good tenderloin, went for lunch here today to check it out. Usual selections of domestic beers. We started with Loaded French Fries which came out cold. French fries barely warm, cheese on top like they just sprinkled it out of the package, bacon on top was cold also. It was swimming in this white stuff in the bottom of the bowl. Sent it back to get heated up. Came back out but once again just warm and unappealing! Server did take this item off of our bill.Okay husband had the Philly and Fries. Once again fries were almost the right temp but soggy. Don't expect crispy French fries here!!!He said the sandwich was okay but would not order again.Okay now for the tenderloin which was the reason I wanted to come here for lunch. Yes, it is very large and they will charge you $3.50 more to split it with someone. The breading on it is very good. Hand pounded there??? Unless they do it at the beginning of the week for all week or run it through a meat tenderize, you not hear them hand pounding it in the kitchen!Very thin piece of pork, breading barely sticking to it, and once again French Fries almost the right temp and soggy. The tomato, pickles, and lettuce were buried under everything . So warm and wilted lettuce!Come here again? No and don't get the Tenderloin!

One server on a weekend. It happens now. The young guy did a good job. I went with my little 2 y/o. I had THE BEST Reuben that I have had I'm a longe time. The cheese pull was crazy long. I was thrown back by the high price but once you taste it, you understand why. The quality of the meat on top of way that Chef prepared it was amazing.I looked at the kids menu to see higher prices again not including the drink. I knew a 2 y/o was not going to eat 10 bucks worth of Mac n cheese. They had a bite with to small shells and was done. I received great information from my server on getting a side instead of a meal. They would also do a lot less for a cheaper price if it was possible. Come to find out it was not. I didn't get that information until I got the bill. It was over 20 bucks.i had left overs for the next day. I am excited to go back with no kids. I will be getting a tenderloin. I saw a patron have it. It was so far hung over the plate it was crazy how huge it is. I will go for take out and lunch. Great place. You get what you pay for here in quality of foods.

As a self-appointed 'tenderloin sandwich ' officianato I was surprised when this place jumped in to my top three offerings. I was a bit hesitant when I learned that they serve the bigger than a bread box sized sandwich. They are almost always beat way to thin for my taste which runs to a bit thicker style. This one has a excellent breading, tender meat and fresh toppings, not to mention the house cut fries. You could, however, easily feed three generously and four without trying very hard, at all. $3.50 upcharge per shared participant) had been there once before and found their house ground burger to be a very fine quality, but you have to make sure you ask for the doneness you prefer. I did not and got mine a bit overdone...my fault...but my mushroom Swiss was still very good.

Overall a good experience and I like how the place looks inside vs the old 801 club. I had a burger and it was delicious, I would recommend trying one if you haven't. The only downside was I thought it was a little pricey.
