Best burger I've had around here. Billy is a chef with core food values and an awesome personality. He buys only quality ingredients and serves them beautifully. The setting is perfect for a summers day.

This is by FAR the best burger I have ever had. I saw the Tiktok made by a local food reviewer and boy they did NOT disappoint. I met the owner and he is so nice and passionate about his food, the love he puts into it shows in the food. He told me the burger is grinded in house and I could taste the freshness. I can't wait for them to have more restaurants around upstate, because I drove almost 40 minutes to the Galleria!. I will be back.

I tried Billie's Burger Bar for the first time yesterday and have never had such a good burger out! I had the double burger with just cheese and added bacon. The burger was made fresh to order with lean ground beef, the cheese was very creamy and the bacon was super crispy. I had an order of hot crispy fries on the side but the star of the sides were the onion rings which were thick and crispy with not too much breading. I would definitely recommend giving this place a try! This will be my go to spot for a burger out now!

This has to be the best burger and fries joint in the capital region. I went to this restaurant for the first time and immediately was treated like family. I would highly recommend this place!

We have been twice now, delicious would be a great word to start to describe Billy’s. Both times I went with the double. The meat is as advertised and cooked to perfection, flavorful with any toppings. Don’t forget the fries a great bonus. Each time the folks working couldn’t be anymore courteous. Great food and great service. We will be back again and again.

They had some of the best burgers I've had! I absolutely loved the Bases Loaded Fries and I will be back sooner rather than later. They make the burgers by hand using fresh ground! Absolutely thrilled with my experience!
