Bills place is one of my favorite burger places and serve good quality food. The tuna sandwich I ate was excellently made. The service was very friendly and the ambiance of the place was excellent. It is not the first time I have been here and can see myself continuing to come back here. I give them 5 stars ⭐

I deliberately made a trip into the city just to try this place. I’m glad I did. A traditional burger joint but they go the extra mile as far as quality of both food and service. Fresh ground beef, not frozen, cooked perfectly. French fries were great too. I came right at the lunch rush. And even though it was busy, Daniel and Wally took care of everyone with an upbeat, positive energy. Ari, the grill cook, was a machine. Only word that came out of his mouth was “Ready!”. He was cranking burgers with impressive speed and precision. I’m definitely coming back. There’s more I’d like to try.

Stopped into Bills after a day at the beach. It’s got an old school feel, definitely reminded me of the diners back at home. I ordered a patty melt and fries which came out to around 15 dollars. Delicious! Every bite resembled flashbacks of home. Watching them cook it on the flat top made it even more special. They’ve been around for over 60 plus years for a reason!

My dad and I love going to Bill’s. The food is always great, and the atmosphere is laid-back and cozy. But what we really appreciate is the attentive service. The waiter who works there always makes sure he gets our order right and he often checks in to make sure everything is good. Which it always is!

Delicious fresh food. The French fries are made fresh and are the best I’ve had. The banana shake was made fresh too and it was delicious. The owner is friendly and the service was great. If I lived closer I would become a regular.

Bill’s Place — home of the Hamburger — straight-up saved us after the Dead & Company shows last weekend. Those bacon cheeseburgers were everything: thick, juicy patties sizzling on the griddle, stacked with crispy bacon, gooey cheese, and a soft bun that soaked up every last drop of flavor. Pure late-night bliss. Then came the hand-spun milkshakes — rich, velvety, and so good they should be illegal. One sip and it was like hitting the reset button after hours of dancing. And the service? Next level. The staff didn’t just take our order — they made us feel like we’d been coming there for years. Warm smiles, quick service, and genuine good vibes that turned a great meal into an unforgettable night. If you’re in San Francisco and you need real-deal comfort food with heart, Bill’s Place isn’t just a recommendation — it’s a must.
