Billie Jo's — Restaurant in Algona

Had a Valentine’s Day dinner here the day after valentines the steak was delicious food is good. Homemade cookies were delicious place is really noisy so be ready for high decibel noise level.

As good as the food was and service and everything I would say the 9 o’clock shut down time is disappointing since it’s listed on the website as late night dining and we were just having the best conversation and we were told that we needed to leave because they were closing at 9 o’clock

UPDATE: Went this weekend hubby had the BLT salad he enjoyed it, the homemade dressing was delicious. I had a skirt steak, it had a weird odor, wasn’t tender as advertised in the menu, it was juicy, I think seasoning was weird. The salad I had came right out of the bag. The sour cream and ranch come in little plastic tubs w lids, butter comes in the little pkgs. but thankfully the Heinz 57 comes in a bottle. Plastic bagged lettuce and condiments. Our waitress was very nice, but a bit too eager to clear our table every trip over, reaching over my food a drink. Finally a bit of education was well received.

The place closes around 8 PM, 9 PM so don’t be fooled by with the website says . Our waiter was very nice. One of the ladies seem to be in charge, I wouldn’t say unfriendly, but not overly welcoming.

All the bathrooms are down in the basement so if you don’t do steps better, be willing to hold...

Went here with friends while in town since the reviews were so great. Well, not the experience we had. Ordered the Dmitri Chicken no bun. Received a piece of grilled chicken that I used a lot of ketchup on. And fries that were barely cooked! Friends had a fish sandwich that was not cooked thru and the same crappy fries. Also, a Tuna Melt...that had cheese not even melted! Told the waiter twice that there was an issue and was told the tuna melt was not supposed to be warm in the middle!?!? No reduction of bill either. I used a debit card for my chicken sandwich and a vodka soda and walked out after charges for a debit card of $26.00! Ridiculous. Oh! And no silverware brought.. even after asking twice for it. Small town good food with friendly...

This place has been recommended so many times by so many of my friends that I decided to give it a try for lunch. I passed on the appetizer although I noticed they had fried mushrooms on the menu. The menu is pretty deep, this place is way more than a main street bar selling standard bar food. My Billie Jo's Burger was pretty impressive. The beef patty was perfectly charbroiled and they were generous with the veggies. Seemed like the entire platter was piled with fries and burger. They got the good krinkle cut fries! That guy cooking knocked it out of the park. Service was perfect and the bar was kinda cool, I highly recommend it. Looking forward to eating here again. They also sell artisian loaves of sourdough bread. So...
