Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Great food and service- the best in the Hunter for meat over flame! Wine list was extensive, interesting and had some gems. Cocktails were great. We had the Octopus, Terrine, Pork Cutlet and Beef Brisket. All cooked perfectly and tasted delicious. Sides were a surprise...bonus too and featured fresh quality produce packing big flavours. Above all, the service was impeccable and friendly. Our waiter had genuine passion and praise for the food, drinks, the kitchen team and the venue which speaks volumes.More

The food and service are fantastic, we had the kingfish and brisket. So we’ll cooked, the $120 per person is excellent value for this quality. The wine list is over 4@ pages, so bring your reading glasses

First time at Yellowbilly , anniversary celebration. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal and Pigs Peake wine pairing. My husband thought the octopus dish was the best octopus he ‘s ever had ! Service was excellent, friendly staff .

Hands down, the best 3 course meal we’ve had! Every aspect was faultless. The flavour combinations were amazing and we just didn’t want the experience to end. Can’t wait for our next booking!

Simply outstanding! Great food (we shared most dishes, there were 4 of us). Couldn’t fault any of them. Service was great, and the Bizarro Spritz was a particular highlight- great summer drink, Australian alternative to the Aperol Spritz. Definitely worth going!

With an amazing wine list from around the world and some outstanding food, Yellow Billy has now become a favorite destination for us when we’re looking for something special for lunch…… the spatchcock is a stand out and shouldn’t be missed !

Fantastic food, couldn’t decide on a favourite amongst the many dishes we ate. Staff were lovely. Outdoor area made for a relaxed and comfortable environment even on a hot day. 10/10 will come back

It was almost a year since we last dined at YB and it was just as good as last time! The standouts were the Bbq Octopus for entree, Char Grilled Pork for Main and the Cheesecake was exceptional. As always the staff were attentive, friendly...and helpful. We purchased a GV for family for Christmas as we just love this restaurant and want others to experience this local treasure and enjoy it as much as we do!More

Lunch with friends and we had very high expectations which were easily exceeded. Food and Wine were simply outstanding. Staff were excellent, knowledgeable, friendly but not intrusive. Will certainly go again and have already recommended Yellow Billy to friends.

We had a fantastic evening with beautiful food and terrific wines. The octopus small plate and the brisket large plate were spectacular. The sommelier was really knowledgeable and helpful with our wine selection and added to the night. Definitely would go back.
