Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Bill's Bar and Burger offers a lively dining experience with "good food at acceptable prices" and "amazing burgers and shakes." The location is convenient near Radio City, making it a popular choice for pre-show meals. However, it's often crowded, and service can be slow at times. Families appreciate the "fun, casual atmosphere," while the restaurant's ability to handle food allergies is a plus. Overall, it's a solid spot for a burger fix in NYC.

    Love this place. Our go-to stop on our annual (or bi-annual) trip to see a show in the City. Great with allergies for such a busy place. Server mentioned a separate cooking area!

    Food was as expected. Great place to get a decently cheap burger in the city. Our server was amazing, very friendly. She got us in and out very quick and was very quick with taking our order and getting refills

    I was disappointed after my family’s experience at Bill’s. The service was very mediocre as the staff were blunt and not very friendly. The washrooms were a complete disaster and had obviously not been cleaned or tended to in some time, with every stall having a wet floor and toilet paper everywhere. The burgers were very good but another member of my party ordered a salad which had very fatty chicken. Overall, we expected more from such a highly reviewed restaurant and would not recommend Bill’s as there are so many other great options in NYC.

    It was our first time at Bill's Bar and Burger. Positive: I liked the decor and vibe, and our waitress was very friendly. The sweet red chili dressing chicken wings were delicious. (just a little heavy on the dressing...). Fries were good. Negative: My husband's hamburger was soggy. He's not the kind to send items back, so he ate it with a fork. LOL. My root beer float was the worst I've ever had. It had no flavor. (Weird) Worst: The bathrooms were filthy. If I had seen them before I ate, I would not have eaten there. Broken Toilets. They smelled like a subway station bathroom. I take it back. I think these were worse. I wondered why patrons were going out to the bathrooms in Rockerfeller center instead of the bathrooms at the establishments. I ended up doing the same thing. Eewwwwww. You know what they say, if the establishment can't keep their bathrooms clean then........... Will not be returning.

    We made a last minute reservation on Easter Sunday. Very quick service and the food was very tasty and well-prepared. (The fat cat burger lives up to the hype and the green salad was fresh and delicious.) The only issue: the fans were on full force and we were cold, but didn't say anything because nobody else seemed to be bothered by it.

    We had an excellent meal! Loved all the burgers and the fries. Our cousins from Germany had the fat cat burger and they said it’s the best burger they ever had. Everything was amazing. We walked over after the Easter parade which was great. Thank you for such a great experience, service and food.
