    Fairly pedestrian menu. Prices were reasonable when you consider that it’s in NYC. Waiter was very nice. Oatmeal wasn’t very good. Should offer it with brown sugar, butter and pecans or walnuts. Coffee was acceptable as was the toasted bagel.

    Bill’s was great! I always ask for a recommendation when I try a new restaurant. They recommend the burgers and milk shake. We didn’t get a milk shake, but the burgers were delicious!! They actually tasted like meat and had their own flavor! I feel like anymore that’s hard to find a burger with flavor in a restaurant. Kudos to Bill’s!! I definitely recommend this place for a burger.

    Family friendly. Kids menu by requests. Milkshakes are huge; so are the burgers.

    It was wonderful! I was early for my reservation and the staff was very accommodating! Our server was great. I was super hungry but the buffalo chicken sandwich was the best I’ve ever eaten! Sweet potato fries were on point! I always love Landry’s restaurants but this was above and beyond- especially the food!

    Disappointing that they didn’t honor the discount b/c they were unable to manually enter the card.
