Billy’s Sports Grill, located in downtown Northport, has been a part of the community for 13 years, serving up scratch-made comfort food and creating a loyal customer base. The restaurant, owned by Terry Humphryes and his sons, Paul and Wesley, has become a staple in the area, offering a menu of Southern comfort food, including their famous marinated chicken sandwich.

A Family Brand with a Rich History

The first Billy’s opened in the English Village area of Mountain Brook in 1979, and the brand has been family-owned and operated ever since. Terry Humphryes purchased the brand in 2005 and has since expanded to multiple locations, including the downtown Northport spot.

Billy’s has earned a reputation for its scratch-made menu items, including fried olives, chicken tenders, and burgers. The restaurant also features a large patio area, where customers can enjoy their meals and take in the sights and sounds of downtown Northport.

A Community Hub

Billy’s has become a hub for the community, with a loyal customer base that includes families, students, and locals. The restaurant is known for its welcoming atmosphere, complete with goat statues and figures throughout the dining area. The ‘goat place’ has become a popular spot for kids and adults alike, with many customers visiting the restaurant just to see the unique decorations.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Billy’s was able to adapt and thrive, thanks to its popular patio area and commitment to scratch-made food. The restaurant has continued to grow and expand, with a new location opening in Vestavia Hills in 2008.

Billy’s Sports Grill is open every day from 11 to 9 p.m., and until 10 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. The restaurant is located at 430 Main Avenue in downtown Northport.
