Billy’s Tap Room and Grill began as a Team Room on the property of the beautiful Ormond Beach Hotel in 1922. The hotel owners asked Billy to move to Ormond Beach to manage the Tea Room. In 1926 Billy purchased our current location opening it as a drug store/soda shop/restaurant. The McDonald’s lived in the upstairs room which today is affectionately known as the “MacDonald Room.” In 1939, the family purchased a neighboring home for $3,900 which is currently home to the Ormond Beach Historical Trust, just a few doors down, west of Billy’s.
Frank and Billy Jnr decided to retire in 1985 and sold the business to the Young’s, a couple from New Jersey. One year later, they sold the business to Katy Jones. Monk Noell purchased the restaurant in 1990 and ran it successfully for the next 17 years, focusing on making Billy’s one of the finest restaurants in Ormond Beach. In 2006, the Noell’s sold Billy’s Tap Room and Grill to Maria Szabad-Reisch, originally from Holland. In 2011, Lillian and Doug purchased Billy’s and we are proud to continue the tradition of Billy’s as a place for great food, fine spirits and old-time friendly atmosphere that has been an Ormond mainstay since 1922.
Doug and Lillian Rand welcome you to Billy’s. The proud new owners of Billy’s Tap Room and Grill are also the owner and operator of the Potato Patch in neighboring Deland, Florida. “Doug and Lil” as they are affectionately known, along with our devoted staff, are committed to making Billy’s Tap Room a restaurant where old and new friends can enjoy their old time favorites as well as freshened up and exciting new menu ideas, great wines and spirits along with good times. Doug and Lil are delighted you are with us tonight and thank you for your patronage!
