Bill's was quiet when we first arrived. The servers were attentive. For the low number of dinners it took a white to get our food. As more diners came in it seemed like the servers were covering a lot of tables because they may have been short staffed. In order to use the rest room you must go into the hotel lobby and have someone let you in if you are not a guest with a room key.

We dined at Bill's Bar & Burger for the first time, using a birthday gift for Landy's Select Club. We we very pleased with the service, the food, and the prices. The extensive beer selections were great. The bar was noisy and we were seated close by. We were on our way to the Penguin's game and you never know how long service will take when you have not dined at a restaurant before, but this was just as we had hoped. We will definitely be back!

Nice place to have a burger and a beer. Nothing majorly special. The burger was good and the beer was cold and fresh. Would recommend for a quick bite if you are in town.

It might have been better in the larger dining area but on the bar side it was quite noisy and there was a lot of food on the floor. Not very appetizing. The food was flavorful and my 2 dining companions were very satisfied however I ordered a burger, as the restaurant name indicated this would be a good choice. The burger was absolutely cold and the bottom bun was so soggy that this one had to have been sitting around a while. Again, not very appetizing. Prices are on the higher side but not out of reach. The waitstaff was friendly, attentive and accomodating. Due to time restraints I did not send the meal back. Would probalbly not be a first choice again.

We had made reservations for dinner service and were initially greeted by the kind gentlemen and seated promptly. It was not too packed on a Saturday night, even with a concert in town. It took 15 mins until we were greeted by wait staff. When we finally were greeted by our waitress, you could tell she 100% did not want to be there. Not so much as a “welcome!”, more of a “what do you want” flat affect. We jumped right in and ordered drinks from the bar to start; however, she took our water cups without even asking or just assuming we wanted water. I’d think water would be standard? After ordering, we sat there for another 15 mins waiting for our bar drinks to be delivered, from a bar with 2 small parties. Two out of three of our guests drinks were delivered; our friend overheard the bartender tell the waitress that she frankly forgot to make it. After ordering, our food was delivered quickly. The impossible burger was good, nothing special. Not because of impossible burgers fault, the burger toppings were just uninspiring. Food was delivered by another staff member with another “get me the hell out of here” attitude. I passed her looking for the restroom and even stated “excuse me” to her; she didn’t even bat an eye. I’d go somewhere else. This was almost $100. I only reserved this place due to the short time I had to find a table before a concert. Just skip this if you value great, quality service. This is just below average on a good day.

The server was incredibly rude - she group the order and never asked about it - I had asked that the wine be put on a separate tab and she failed to do that and when I remarked about it she gave an incredibly flip answer back.

My husband did not like his burger- overcooked (we weren't even asked what temp we wanted) and he said his bun was stale and crumbly. I had the Caesar salad and Keto my Heart burger. Burger was just ok toppings substituted and not advised my salad was delicious. One of the best Caesar salads I ever had! However this is a BURGER joint not a salad house!! Not the best. Server was attentive and friendly

I don’t typically give the highest ratings for every aspect of a restaurant, but everything about our dinner at Bill’s Bar & Burger was exceptional. The waitstaff was very busy, yet maintained positive, welcoming attitudes. The burgers and sandwiches were perfectly prepared. We could carry on a conversation without having to yell across the table. The drinks - including a Great milkshake! - were spot-on. The total bill was in a very acceptable range. Parking was a breeze, using the convention center and street parking. All this - on New Year’s Eve! This has become one our go-to’s when looking for a nice centrally-located restaurant.

Restaurant was moderately busy. I stood at the hostess stand for 15 minutes before I was greeted. I was ready to leave when someone finally approached me. Server was attentive to my requests, but the server took 10 minutes to greet me at the table. My meal was simply a bowl of chili and a salad. Not complicated. I am not one to need lightning fast service, but I was just a single diner and I was the restaurant far too long. Well over an hour. I keep giving the place a chance, but the other three times I dined here this year made for similar experiences. Underwhelming dining experience.

The waiter was the highlight! He tried hard to deliver a great experience in a place that you can now find in any mall or large chain. The wings were so greasy my son who eats anything refused to eat them. The menu says fresh ground burgers and I will give them a maybe. If they are fresh ground something is going wing and if they are frozen you could give them a better bun with no effort. The quest dip is best eaten with a straw! Even more interesting the website, the walls, and a card ON OUR TABLE had happy hour deals. We asked and were told it was too late. It was 6:15 and all the signs said until 7:00. The waiter was nice and said he would go ask. He came back and said we are in the wrong section. I asked why the table card and he couldn’t answer. Not his fault very poor management. Last comment spend $100 anywhere else.

No one came to our table for over 20 minutes when we got there so we left. Didn't eat or get a drink. Was there over a year ago and service wasn't great then either but the food was decent back then.

This is our 3rd time here. While the burgers are great, the server (Jen) and Manager (Mike) were absolutely rude and a train wreck. We had a member of our party that has a severe gluten allergy. Our server really had no clue but acted like she did. Ordered a burger with no bun. Food came out on a bun. Jen took it back, burger without a bun came out, but fires all over it. We already told her no fries. She gave us major attitude and said things like "I don't make the meals I just bring them out". Sure, but you know what we ordered and brought it anyway. 2 minutes later it came out with fries removed. Clearly they just wiped the fries off but the burger is contaminated. She threw the plate down and said "here!" While complaining to the manager, she was giving us attitude and Mike did nothing to correct her. She even waved to us and said "Bye Bye", like get out of my face. Still no correction. This went on for 20 minutes. The manager never came over to us to tell us what he was going to do about the situation. The server was still going around doing tasks. She should have been removed from the restaurant for the way she was behaving. I went to the manager to find out what was happening. We needed to leave He said he was working on our discount and that he was sorry we were sitting there with no communication. He should have been all over us while this was happening. He told me he had many problems going on and was doing his best. He is not a manager. She should have been fired. I guarantee you Jen is still working there. We will never be going back there.
