Billy Bob's: Parlor - Diner - Play in Craven

What a fantastic place to visit with or without children.

Fantastic place. Never heard of before but definitely will be back. Food was very tasty, big portions and reasonably priced. We had a burger then dessert and we couldn't finish it even though we wanted to. Well worth a visit

We were sat in the school bus. Great idea, though the table was a little small for the mains, drinks and sides.

Amazing place. Only popped in for ice cream but loved it.

Great food, lovely ice cream and a fantastic place for kids to play.

Fantastic place! Great food, awesome interior, loved having our table in the school bus!

Great, fun place. Good for kids and grown ups alike!

I love this place and the food is amazing!!! Today however was the worst experience, in fairness not the food or the place but the people. A large group of women arrived with their kids (I'd like to say I was there with my kids) around 15 kids were allowed to sit without any parents being anywhere near, they were throwing things and generally being naughty while the mums, equally as loud, argued between themselves. One member of staff did tell the kids they would be moved but unfortunately then the mothers started. So loud that my 4 year old was getting quite disturbed and my 14 year old disgusted. We had to leave, mid my meal. I'd suggest that large numbers like that have parents integrated in the group if they can't be behaved. I know one other man complained as their family was sat in the middle, their children well behaved. Such a shame as we are always super excited to go to Billy Bobs, its one of our favourite places.

Best place to visit with children! Wonderful menu with plenty of choice for all ages. You can visit just for an ice cream or a full meal. Ice cream is incredibly reasonably priced and they must have over 20 flavours to choose from!! If you are wanting to eat inside, I would definitely recommend booking a table which is very easy with the online booking system.

Just been for the first time...will not be the last time ...really great little place,and the food is amazing..very friendly staff..I'd give it 6/5 if I could

Great drive out with the kids, everything was amazing, beauty hidden gem

Great food would definitely come again in the future and try more of the ice creams

Hands down the best American diner you will ever go to, the food is unbelievable and authentic, not English food passed off as American, they have old fashioned soda fountain drinks..smoked meats... ice cream... the choice is endless and the food is out of this world, set in a beautiful area aswell, loads of playground space for kids aswell so they see it as a treat!

Excellent food, great surroundings

Would recommend popped in for snack and iced refreshments top marks to the company

Proceed with caution - we've been to Billy Bob's a few times and every visit we go thinking it can't live up to how good we remembered it, and it always hits the mark. On our latest visit I spied the smash burger, liked the look of what was in it and overlooked the £17 price tag (the menu is well priced for the quality you get). This thing was huge but I was hungry and polished the lot off. It was only as I was savouring the warm, fuzzy after-burger glow that I thought I'd re-read the menu description; the very first sentence explains that it's almost a pound of beef alone 😅 Not sure I'd have ordered it if I'd actually read the menu properly, but so glad I did. Zero compromise on quality, well-cooked and seasoned, just an absolute delight all the way through. Predictably the rest of our table's orders were all well-received too, and the root beer floats are always a winner. Can be slightly on the rowdy side but there's an adults-only section if you need it, and we had a little one in tow so were contributing to the chaos.

First time here for breakfast amazing place and friendly staff and great food. Thank you 😊

Customer service was great food was good little on the pricey side

Awesome place great food and fab entertainment with swing outside x

Do they respond to all their reviews with AI?

This place is not my usual cup of tea but I can’t fault it. The food, service and ice cream was great, and our little one was kept occupied with so much to look at! All at a reasonable price.

Never been before. Lots for the kids to do. Great themed American Diner with soda counter, pancakes and lots of other great food to buy. Great views all around .

Okay, we just had ice cream on a gloriously warm day but having seen what is on offer, I would definitely return. The ice creams were absolutely delicious, plenty of choice from vanilla to pistachio and everything in-between. Delicious. There are freshly made burgers to have which looked and smelled superb and I slightly regretted having eaten lunch earlier. Never mind, the ice cream was worth going alone. Plenty of parking and seating indoors and out with a kids play park as well. Prices seemed very good for quantity and quality, well worth going back.

This place was fantastic! We want to visit Skipton again just so we can come back. The atmosphere, the food and the drinks were all great!

Brought the family, who were sceptic but delighted with the huge and delicious ice creams and the kids loved letting off steam in the play area

Great food and ice cream. Best to go when the schools are in (if you don’t have kids)as it is always busy but it is a play barn for kids , even then it is worth the trip and kids will love it.

Food is always good from here can't complain, highly recommended ! Fantastic place for kids to eat and play too !

Stopped off to have a look around and grab an ice cream. Very busy, and the large carpark is almost full. The children were having a fantastic time in the extensive playground, and the ice cream was delicious. I'm looking forward to trying one of their beefburgers on my next visit.

My wife and I recently stumbled upon this American diner just outside Skipton during a trip through the stunning Yorkshire Dales, and what a find it was! They've truly nailed the authentic feel of an American diner. The walls are a feast for the eyes, absolutely covered in fascinating American oil, garage, and car memorabilia, alongside classic old-style waiter photographs that evoke a bygone era. The food was amazing, and hit the spot perfectly. The milkshake was very thick. The straw was over a centimeter wide, and still I struggled to suck the shake through (a good problem to have). I wish they had a lime flavor, but there were a lot of flavours to choose from. The food menu is fantastic, so much choice. I said below the noise was moderate, and it was because they were playing all the classic American rock songs, which were awesome! Noise in a place like this is welcome! 🎸🎶 We sat indoors, but they have a lovely outdoor area, next to a kids play area. It is a must visit if you are in the area. Don't stress about parking, as there are loads of free parks. We'll be back!

Rude staff. Over priced food and liars. Arrived after seeing it on TikTok. Wanted to play in the barn with our kids. Was told “if you want to go in you will need to pay on the website.” Or “if you eat in the restaurant it’s free” by the member of staff on the entrance to the play barns £45.00 later for 2 adults and a kids meal. Fries not included in a burger. We went round for our “free entry” The young boy on the entrance handing out wristbands said £3.00 please! When I questioned him he said “I never said that”. When I asked to see his manager about it I got another rude reply “my manager will tell you the same” “There is a free play area over there” Needless to say we will not be back any time soon. Absolutely horrible experience and rude staff.

Amazing ice cream, lots of flavours and many different toppings. We had to sit outside as they don't allow dogs in but this wasn't a problem as there is a lot of outdoor seating and it was a very sunny Friday afternoon. It can get busy at the weekend or during school holidays. So I would think about booking a table if your having a meal during busy periods. Great atmosphere and good rock n roll music.

Great food and amazing ice cream!

The ice cream is amazing, so many flavors to choose from. I got coffee, toffee and chocolate in a tub. Will definitely be getting them again soon

Great place for kids to play. You can get ice cream from parlour too.

brilliant food , great play area , good for bringing the kids to ,

I've updated my review as the place seems to have really improved a lot. It's pretty good value, and it's 'real' food.

Ok the foods is great superb quality a lot fast food but for two adults and two children 73.30 !! The prices are outrageous.7.50 for a milk shake! Like said experience was good not difficult food to get right and they did it wasn't fançy food but for that you pay an unbelievable amount which is robbery to be honest.Although an experience I felt like I'd been robbed on the way out.Seevice was also good and quick but at that price I'd expect nothing else. I won't be returning at those crazy prices !

Pathetic chicken, dry, unflavoured and lacking even salt. Bad sundaes which are just sugar bombs without any flavour.

Really authentic American food. Prompt service, great atmosphere and reasonably priced.

Excellent food great service and a wonderfull atmosphere I have visited several times and have never had a bad experience highly recommend

Brilliant, well worth a visit , or three

What’s an amazing place? This is for children. We enjoyed a lovely day on a Sunday playing in the Barnes on the great outside areas for the children followed by a beautiful meal of good quality meats and the most amazing milkshake/ice cream.

Went there with my family for the famous ice cream. Was lovely. There are so many different exotic flavours to choose from. Felt like I was sat in an American restaurant. lol prices were ok too.

Unbeatable milkshakes – the best in the world! Billy Bob’s Parlour never disappoints. Their milkshakes are next level – super thick, packed with real ice cream, and absolutely delicious. My personal favourite is the Biscoff milkshake – it’s creamy, indulgent, and full of that amazing caramelised biscuit flavour. If you’re a milkshake lover, this place is a definite must-visit! The venue itself is an American-style diner which is super cool!

Great place for food and to entertain the little ones.

Fantastic play area for kids, good food, very casual

Excellent thanks 👍. Little expensive but well worth it...

Always great good. Busy but still good service.

Ordered 2 icecreams and a milkshake. They gave us the ice cream and it was melting by the time the milkshake was made. The staff should inform customers it's a 10 min wait for milkshakes.

Food amazing as always however slight inconvenience on most recent visit. Wasn't possible for kids to go in play barn before ordering food so we were forced to eat earlier than planned which seemed a bit daft.

We’ve been here a few times over the years, never fails to deliver. Greeting on arrival, accommodating when needed, food omg the absolute best. I’m not a huge burger fan, thought I’d try one this time. Jeeze it was the best burger I’ve ever eaten, ok so I said I don’t eat burgers. Because some burgers out there are nasty. Not at the billy bobs, the quality of the meat, the way it was cooked, the flavour , absolutely deliciously Devine. Never mind the kids going to play, I enjoyed my meal thoroughly. Tbh it was too big, as it came with lots of delicious sides, coleslaw , corn on cob, gherkins . but I would still recommend if you can mange it . Next time I’ll order small, cannot wait for the next time. I went with a friend and our girls who are older now, they didn’t actually play in the areas , as they were too full. But from past experiences the play facility are excellent, they’ve enjoyed them lots in the past. Excellent customer service, good, facilities, atmosphere. You cannot fault Billy bobs, highly recommended. A wonderful hidden little gem of a place. If your visiting the area and are not familiar, we did Bolton abbey, Hesketh farm, then to billy bobs for tea. Skipton is well worth a visit too, for those that are looking to fill there time, in our lovely Yorkshire travels 😊

What lovely place, lovely food, service and staff. Great place for kids of all ages. Ice-cream is amazing 🍦😉

First time visiting, food was delicious (portions were huge!). Good choice for kids and liked the range of American soft drinks to try too. Didn't get an ice cream as we were too full but they looked amazing. Good value for money too. The kids loved the playground especially in the glorious sunshine. It was busy but didn't feel crowded. Would recommend!

Great place and fantastic for the kids.

If I could give more stars I would. We had an amazing time. We had a vegetarian meal and it was amazing absolutely delicious. Kids had a fab time playing outdoors and staff were really friendly and whole atmosphere was really calm and pleasant. Thank you and will defo be returning soon x

Great food and good service. Fantastic play area. Sundaes are brill.

Lovely place to eat somewhere totally different like your own little piece of America.

Went with work for some breakfast today but have had couple of my kids birthday parties. Nice place, good food and the atmosphere is amazing... Nice seating and scenery outside on a sunny day!

It's fair enough. Went with family (4 adults) for casual food. Definitely not the target audience but that's ok. Food was fine, not really something I'd go for again. Definitely seems like a great place for kids/younger families.

Food is amazing and staff were brilliant, can't recommend it enough. Definitely worth a detour to visit but booking a table is advised.

Fantastic food, drink, service. Just too big portions that I couldn’t eat everything or even have a dessert!

Great food was delivered quickly and very delish

Incredible food totally unique for the area brilliant 👏👌

Great place to take children. They really enjoyed the play areas and having lunch on the old school bus

Great food and a great atmosphere . Recommend booking in advance if you want a table. If your a gamer and want to eat in a place with just a hint of the fallout games (minus the radiation of course) then I can't recommend it highly enough.

It’s good fun for the kids. the food quality isn’t brilliant, but there’s a pretty good selection and surprisingly good vegetarian options. Coffee was tasty

Had a good time, the milkshakes and drinks here are excellent and the food was also good. Prices were reasonable and I didn't feel overcharged at all. Very lively atmosphere that definitely caters well to families and kids with fun decorations and a good play area. The only reason for the 4 star rating was the absolute state of the male toilets (women's were fine). Both urinals overflowing onto the floor, one toilet was filled up with waste and the other completely plastered with urine. When I entered two kids were playing with one of the overflowing urinals and touching it with their bare hands. They then left without washing and touched the door handle. When I exited the room the door handle was wet. I understand it's an unavoidable problem and more the fault of those who cause the mess rather than the restaurant. But it really was revolting. Didn't mention it on the way out as I figured whoever I told would probably have to go in and clean it up which would not be a fun job. Other than the male toilets, I would definitely recommend the place for a meal!

I brought my five year old disabled son here one day in February and had a carer with me to help support him. I’d booked a table online as per their policy and arrived on time (11:30) and let the staff know we were there. In my booking request, I mentioned that my son was autistic and had an eating disorder (ARFID) so I wasn’t sure how he would be and requested we be seated near the door in case an early exit was needed. We were shown to our table near the exit and my son within a couple of minutes wanted to leave as it was too noisy, I ordered him an ice cream and we took it outside so he could regulate. At this point, I mentioned to the staff we were having to go outside and explained why so they could use our table for other guests if needed (although it was rather quiet customer wise at this point). We paid the additional £3 to play when my son was regulated, stayed for about thirty minutes and then had to leave as he had reached his limit. A few days later, I noticed that Billy Bob’s had charged me £15 in addition to our ice cream and play – I contacted them and asked why I had been charged £15 and was ultimately met with an aggressive rely from the ‘owner’ Mandy who claimed that she was entitled to do that because we hadn’t ordered a meal! I explained the whole situation and that I had not only attended our booking, we had made a purchase and paid to play. Mandy continued her aggressive tone and stance that she was in the right and then went on to question why I had taken my son somewhere busier than the restaurant - outside wasn’t busier and it was certainly more quiet, however, I owe no one an explanation as to my parenting decisions, especially complete (thieving) strangers. There is nowhere online which states a minimum spend and when booking the table, it says you will be charged if you don’t turn up – which we did! This place has absolutely NO understanding of additional needs, reasonable adjustments and thinks nothing of breaching the Equality Act. Other reviewers have commented how poor or (at best) average the food is and it is incredibly overpriced. The environment is hugely overstimulating and loud and I would advise against visiting this place at all but certainly out of principle for how it treats disabled children and steals your money! AVOID! There are so many wonderful places in Skipton to take your custom to.

Brought my daughter and her friend for a birthday treat, they loved the play barn and the food was great

Fabulous team, environment, location, management and overall experience. Well worth a visit with families or any USA fans.

Amazing food & friendly service, will definitely visit again

Wonderful day with family. Enjoyed it so much 😁

It was my nephew's birthday we were celebrating, the big 5, and a good time was had by all, I would also like to thank Oliver the General manager for helping me out with my Motorcycle

Great food, you have to try this place. Pancake stack are amazing and the dogs are divine 🌭🥞

We had my daughter's 5th birthday in the party room on Saturday and I can't recommend them highly enough. The host (Crystal) was brilliant at both keeping all parents informed of what was happening when and also keeping the kids organised. The whole thing was completely stress free, really good value and my daughter and her friends had the best time! Thank you!

Very fun diner with amazing American theme they’ve really gone all out! Food was nice too and a fun selection of drinks.

absolutely fantastic day out, food is amazingly priced for the quantity you get and if you come out hungry you have done it wrong! will 100% be going back!

Absolutely loved our time there... Can't wait to go again when we're in that area... My husband is gluten free and was catered for wonderfully., thankyou

Booked 10 people in last minute and the staff were so accommodating. I asked for 2 tables if they could with it being last minute but was super surprised (and happy) when we walked in to a large table for us all. Food was amazing and service was excellent, would definitely recommend!!

Came for a family breakfast, the food was delicious and the milkshakes are top tier. Had a mixture of the dishes, bbq without the bun, pancakes, iowa farm boy and all were 20/10 highly recommended, good service, good food and love the decor.

Billy Bob's never disappointed us. First time visited Skipton as we usually go to the one in Barton. This one has got much nicer views 😍

Cool place to eat, great service but quite expensive. £13 for a bagel I felt was a little steep but it was very tasty.

I visited Billy bobs in Myerscough with my two young grandchildren. food was delicious, but service was incredible. We were made to feel extremely welcome. The grandchildren played for hours in the fabulous outdoor play area a big thanks again to all the staff

Great place to pop in with the kids!

Expensive but fun atmosphere and very 60s americano.

Came to this place with my wife and friends the staff were amazing and friendly and the food and service was amazing also definitely be coming back

Such a great restaurant that exceeded our expectations. We went with our two year old who adored the outdoor play barn and the retro school bus inside the restaurant. We equally enjoyed the 1950s American aesthetic which is impressively executed throughout. It was very busy, but our food came very promptly and was really tasty. There’s also a fantastic selection of ice creams and drinks, the homemade cherry cola was to die for! The toilets were also clean and well-maintained which was appreciated for nappy changes. A great experience for the entire family and will definitely return again soon.

A charming, secluded spot surrounded by beautiful natural scenery. The views are breathtaking. The seating area is somewhat limited for larger groups (up to eight people). You can place your order through the app or order and pay directly at the cashier. The overall service was excellent - we did not wait long for our food. We tried the BBQ ribs and Philly steak. While the ribs were a bit dry, they were still enjoyable. Many of the meats, including the sausage, pulled pork, and beef, had an overall similar taste without distinct flavours (quite heavy). However, the fries were exceptionally crisp, which was a highlight. The food felt rich, but that may be reflective of American-style cuisine. I now wish I’d ordered a salad. The menu design could be improved, as the mix of fonts, sizes, and colors makes it somewhat difficult to read and navigate. The outdoor area is fantastic, featuring an amazing playground and two barns. We spent time swinging, sliding on mats, and playing - it was very well designed, and the kids had a wonderful time. Cleanliness throughout the establishment was spot on. The service stood out, with friendly and welcoming staff who created a relaxed and inviting atmosphere. Highlights - Dad’s root beer, maple syrup, hot chocolate and ice cream with cherry. Don’t miss these.

I visited Billybobs with my young boy and we had a great time. I have given it a 4/5 for the following reasons. Positives: Staff are friendly, go out their way to provide a good service. The food came quick and warm. The app is easy to order with. My son loves the food here and they do take care of you. Much nicer than the Myerscough restaurant Very clean. Staff are on it straight away. Negatives: The ribs I got were bland, no taste at all. 100% needs the sauce. However the rest of my food was very good! The American cake things that came with my food instead of bread... Not for me (personal taste!) Children are supervised by adults... But mostly just run ferral and spoil it for others. The atmosphere is just a bit too much for me. But thats personal taste, just feels a bit too loud for me. Sorry!

One of the best places to experience

You get a bit of Billy bobs in your shoes! Billy Bobs was an amazing experience! It was fun. The ice cream was the best, the cookie dough in particular. However, you get hay in your shoes. The water was expensive.

What a rip off this place is, the food is very overpriced , you used to be able to pay to just play here, now you have to book a table and buy a meal, what a joke, brought a child to a party and we were going to eat here whilst the party was on but not at those inflated prices, even the kids party food looked like the parents had been overcharged for what the kids were getting, nothing special and not much of it

We LOVE coming to Billy Bob's the food is always really good! Plenty of choices for food, drinks and ice cream! Lovely style 50s diner loads of decorations. Brilliant place definitely recommend. Love that they have an adults only seating area! This is what sets it apart for us!

Went with my family and it was excellent

Visited this diner for the first time with my family yesterday and it definitely won’t be the last time. The location of this diner is away from towns so definitely requires a car to access but around the diner the views are beautiful. The diner and experience there is just incredible, the food is all so fresh and tasted so amazing, the atmosphere felt entertaining and the diner has such fun retro American design, it’s so fun. They have a till where people can order food, they can use an app, we used an app and it was simple and all order arrived quickly. There are no alterations on food orders but we didn’t mind. It was so busy as we visited midday Saturday, so definitely book a table before a visit. After the hearty and tasty meal, we tried the ice cream parlour and there was so much choice, we loved it so much, the ice cream actually had so much flavour. The outside play area was so fun and it was free! My little sister enjoyed it even in the cold weather. There were some Birthday party rooms available so if anyone is looking for a different kind of kids Birthday party, this would probably be a great experience. Overall 5/5 without any doubt, the place, food and experience will be something we won’t forget! Really enjoyed it all.

Jack was so lovely and accommodating when visiting , made us feel so welcome and will definitely return!

Great place to take kids, it's a fun little area with some unexpected vegan options which is a nice change for the area. Massive play area for kids to enjoy and the food and drink choices are very fun, will undoubtedly be begged to go again at some point.

I have not been to Billiy Bob's in 6 years as I had to move for my job. I visited during the Christmas holidays and it was a good as I remember.

Great food, great atmosphere, great service :)

Top joint go fir breakfast it's amazing
