We really enjoyed our visit to Bill’s Bar & Burger. Sometimes you just want a proper, no-nonsense burger, and this place delivers exactly that.
We tried The Bill’s Burger and the South of the Burger, both served with crispy French fries, plus some Buffalo wings to share. The burgers were juicy, full of flavor. What we especially liked is that they’re not overcomplicated, just classic, well-balanced burgers where you can actually taste the beef, with toppings that complement rather than overpower it.
The wings were spot on too, nicely sauced with just the right kick. To top it off, we had a few cocktails, including a classic Margarita and a Blue Hawaiian, which were refreshing and surprisingly well made for a casual burger spot.
The atmosphere was relaxed and lively, perfect for Midtown, and our waiter was genuinely friendly and attentive, which always makes the experience even better.
Overall, Bill’s Bar & Burger is a great place if you’re craving a solid, tasty burger in the NYC, simple, satisfying, and exactly what you want after a long day of walking around the city. Definitely worth a stop

El lugar se ve bien, entré y pregunté al del bar que si había comida aún, me dijo que sí y me senté, luego vino un mesero grosero y apurado me dijo que ya iban a cerrar y que pidiera rápido me apuro por el pedido, re mal 👎 luego me pasaron unas papas fritas duras que parecen haber estado por horas en los calentadores y la hamburguesa mala sin sabor y simplona para el precio que cobran y encima más cuando estaba aún comiendo el mesero grosero vino y me dio la cuenta y me apuro para que pagase aún estañado comiendo de verdad mal hecho malísimo el lugar y demasiado caro para una hamburguesa 30 dólares es un robo!!! No recomiendo este lugar no caigan en esta estafa.

Les burgers en général sont bons mais nous avons eu une mauvaise expérience en venant manger un soir, j’avais déposé ma plaquette de médicaments sur la table et d’un coup lorsque la serveuse a débarrassé la table , la plaquette avait disparu , nous lui avons donc demandé si elle avait vu une plaquette et elle nous a répondu « je sais pas qui est ce qui vous a débarrassé la table? » avec un air arrogant alors que c’était elle même 2minutes avant enfin bref je me retrouve aujourd’hui malade sans les seuls médicaments qui m’aident ..
aller vérifier dans la poubelle n’aurait rien coûter mais bon tant pis.

We had breakfast. The hotel gave us a ticket to have 2 meals included with the accommodation fees. It turns out on weekdays the meal included is on the menu and on weekends is the buffet. We ended up ordering the menu meals, not knowing they would not be covered today(saturday). Our ticket was on the table, and the waitress smirked when she saw it, meaning she knew we were mistakenly ordering something that would not be covered by the it but didn't care to tell us. Another waiter realized this and told us, but it was too late, we were already eating. We ended up having to pay for our meals, which was quite expensive, and feeling scammed.
