    Food was just OK. Ask for scrambled eggs with cheese and they slap on a slice of cheese right before they bring it to you. Very unappealing. Server was extremely slow. We waited 20 minutes for coffee. And another 30 for our food. This was breakfast service and the place was mostly empty. I’m sure there are better choices nearby.

    We tried this restaurant because we were visiting the World Trade Center memorial. The food was good, although the service was wishy washy. We quickly received our food after ordering, even after a small misunderstanding about one of the meals. It took us a little while even after we received our meals to even get our drinks. The wait staff seemed uninterested in service and rarely checked in on us. It didn’t seem that busy during the lunchtime hour that they would be overwhelmed. All and all the food was good, maybe we just caught the waitress on a bad day.

    Took forever to be seated, or to even check in for our reservation as there was no hostess available. We stood for 20 min at the door before we got to see a hostess at all. We did not get our fries with our meal but much later. We needed refills for a long while prior to seeing a waitress for one.

    Poor experience - very slow service, some of the main course and sides didn’t arrive - and then found it really hard to actually pay the bill!

    I understand it was a busy night but to ignore a table for 30 minutes and to be shocked we didn't receive our meal. The waitress never checked on us and when the food finally arrived no acknowledgement from her at all, not one word. I asked for a side of ranch dressing and she took it from my friends basket across the table and said "here you go!"

    If all diners were made like this then the world would be a better place. Fantastic service. Great portions, great tasting and looking food, quick easy and good value for money. Definitely one for the tourists and the locals alike. Well done Bill's. We just wish we could have stayed in New York longer so that we could visit it again!

    Quick lunch During Hotel stay...I had the Turkey burger and the wife had their classic Bill burger. Great burger, sides are an extra charge. Turkey burger is REALLY seasoned...some would say salty, but I liked it. Hotel charges a $25 "destination fee but then you get $25 that you can apply to food/drink there. Was ~$53 for the two burgers, one side salad, a soda and glass of white wine. Bit on the pricey side, but you're in NYC and they are fricken good burgers. The "discount" was why we went and glad we did.

    We had a wonderful experience today starting with the host Stephanie D. She was a doll. My son Eric is 5 years old and he wanted to be in charge and she let him. Our server Otto was amazing he went above and beyond. He made sure we were taken care off. We will definitely be coming back here. The food was delicious we had the Ranch hand with fries and my son had the longest hot dog I have ever seen. Everything was great food was delicious.

    We were allowed to make reservations for 9:30 but when we got there they had no idea we were coming and didn't know where to sit us because they said it was last call for food. The fries were not that great. My boyfriend got cheese fries and I got regular fries both of which were subpar. The burgers were just okay nothing to write home about. However, my boyfriend and I agreed that the oreo shakes were great! The waitress wasn't all that friendly however I'm going to say maybe it was because near closing time when people just want to go home. We did however feel rushed but it's okay as it wasn't a place where we really cared to sit down and chat once we were done eating. I wouldn't say the experience was horrible but I definitely wouldn't care to come back.
