We've been here several times in the year we've lived in Fairhope. I always get the gizzards (wish they came with cream gravy) because they're the only place I ever see them on the menu (53 restaurants in Baldwin County , so far). Finally ordered a burger and Oh My Goodness! Truly the best burger I've had and it was Door Dashed! Perfectly seasoned beautiful beef. French fries and onion rings always on point. Love the atmosphere when we've visited in person. The burger MADE me write a review. Can't wait to have one there. Guess I'll get gizzards to go... read more

We knew we were on to a good thing in the parking lot! Colorful and quirky with a backwoods feel! We wanted a simple burger dinner ~ so we followed Yelp to Bill-E's. We both ordered the Old 27 ~ a burger with comeback sauce, lettuce, tomato and caramelized onions. Our server (thanks, Melody!) brought ketchup and mustard, but the burger was perfection as served ~ no additional dressing up required! Fries were simple, tasty and served hot. Altogether a delightful dinner in a fun place. We loved the music, too!! Outdoor or indoor seating, varied menu, kid friendly. We loved it! The outdoors with the Spanish Moss bedecked trees is never far away ~ and we did spot an intrepid short-lived roach (waitstaff shoes are QUICK!!) which in the end does yank a star away ~ but if you're hungry for a little something and you have a car full of family ~ you can feed them all here and probably have a story or two to tell later! read more

BILL-E's - A funky ceiling is always fun! - Burgers Near Me - Fairhope, Alabama

First time visiting on 4/24/26. Excited to try it. Arrived at 6:20 and was seated. We gave our order of 2 burgers. Nothing out of the ordinary. The waitress said they were backed up in the kitchen and would be putting our order in in 15 minutes. We said that was fine. We waited and enjoyed the atmosphere. 55 minutes later, we flagged down the waitress and asked how much longer for our food? Since it was almost an hour at this point. She apparently did not put our order in yet. She told us there were 6 other orders ahead of us. The place was not overly crowded. Several empty seats in every area. She had no idea how long it would be to get our food. I would not recommend going to this restaurant if you are hungry and want to get a burger in a timely manner. Unfortunately we left and won't be back. Terrible service. read more

Great ambience, I thought the food was a bit salty but I don't eat lots of salt so that's just me, looks like a good spot for beers and appetizers. Will try it again. read more

Ordered the Bacon Cheeseburger and was pleasantly surprised on the size and quality. Asked for medium and it was perfect! The bacon was unbelievably good but then I guess BILL-E's is well known for its bacon.The tomato, lettuce, grilled onion made this "pop". The fries were actually worth mention as well. A nice variety of seating - outdoor, under roof and at the bar suits most peoples taste. Service was excellent and the time between ordering was surprisingly quick. My choice for Best Burger in this area - by far !!! read more

Wonderful atmosphere and the waitress was friendly and efficient! The Bushwacher was amazing but make sure you don't share... you will want more! Truth is... I really couldn't drink a full one. My mouth would want it but my stomach says enough. This is a great stop. You can buy bacon to go by the pound too! read more

Driving back to Florida through Alabama and stop into Bill-E's, Restaurant and bar. Large outdoor seating small but cozy bar area with a few Hugh screen TV's We ordered a few beers on tap that were brewed on location and very tasty. For dinner we ordered half dozen wings cook with a sweet chile sauce that really gave the wings a kick then ordered a burger with cheese and home made famous bacon which we shared. I'm not a burger lover but the bacon really turned it up a notch. Served with seasoned fries but felt the portion was small. We arrived around 5:00 not too crowded, however when we left around 6:30 ish the restaurant was packed inside and outside. The service was spot on. Several people working and all attended to our needs. Everyone was friendly and happy! read more

GREAT BACON!!! This was a fun place to stop by for a beer and burger. Super friendly staff. Met the AG and he was a truly sincere and friendly guy who was proudly giving us a history of Fairhope and all the good things on the menu. The owner is a super good dude too and ships over 3000 lbs of bacon each week. Bill-E's is a MUST-Go if only for the bacon. We enjoyed the live music too. read more

Sort of a Florabama feel to a cool spot. Food was really good, had the chicken wrap, excellent. Waitress was super friendly, just a good spot to hang and eat. read more

Hands down best burger in Alabama. We came down from Boston to visit family and came here for an impromptu dinner. The boiled peanuts were delicious, the burgers were juicy, thick cut of beef and well worth the price. The chicken wings were crispy and perfectly cooked!! Only thing we are disappointed in is not living closer to come here more often!! Definitely a let out a belt loop kind of meal. Absolutely delicious. read more

Decor-eclectic, clean, comfortable and even the ladies room had neat decor in it atmosphere-fun and relaxing staff-helpful and friendly Price Range: 5-30 but I believe that is because they have family packs Now the Star of the show Food: Let me say very good and yummy cooked right, tasted good as well Now this bacon he does himself from start to finish it is absolutely amazing and all natural we bought some took it home and ate on it for a couple days was beyond excellent worth the money it's 12.99 a pound worth every penny. He dose it by all natural means. So worth a visit read more

Friendly service. Very welcoming atmosphere. There's a few games to play and tvs to watch. They had live music which was nice. We've ate here a few times and we've never really been disappointed or blown away. Though this time I would say the chicken tender sammich was a bit overcooked and almost impossible to keep together but it was tasty. Our other entrees were good. Onion rings were amazing. Special made cocktails were good. Overall we're pretty happy with this place and will be back! read more

Yum. Did I mention YUM! Had the pork belly sammie which my belly absolutely loved. My husband wasn't hungry and had the bacon app as well as the fried mac & cheese app, both delicious. My cousin raved on the pulled pork sandwich. Just moved to the Fairhope/Daphne area and BILL-E's made our top 5! read more

I had the pork belly sandwich it was absolutely delish. The staff were all super nice and welcoming. The happy hour (from 2-6) was pretty decent as well and available throughout the whole dining room. We're just passing through Fairhope but if I lived here I'd be a regular. read more

The food is always great here. I am a local, so when I say a place is one of my favs, then it means I know I can go there on a busy or slow day and the food is as expected or better. The service is always great. Some of the nicest folks I know in food service work at Bill-E's. They have a bar area and open space outside and they pull off being family friendly and laid back Jimmy Buffett style all at the same time. I recommend the Bill-E's Blended Burger add Bill-E's Bacon. Yum. Personally, I am that simple. My wife loves the Old Texas. I mean, you can't go wrong with their burgers. The fries are that nicely fried not over not under cooked style. The Salads are great. The appetizers are awesome. The kids always like the friend pickle spears. One last thing. I am a sucker for a bun that is slightly toasted and the bread being fresh. They always do it right. There are a lot of places that can do a burger, but Bill-E's is probably my favorite burger not just here in the area, but anywhere. Keep it up, fam. You all are rocking it! read more

This place is absolutely the cutest most niche lovely place to go and have a few beers 10000% Also, feeding the kids and/or your upper is beyond perfect (they even have a doggy menu, adorable!) However, for adults, I'd really only go for beers. This was my first visit but I was left unimpressed by the adult menu. Perhaps on another visit I would just order from the Kids menu? The Pork Belly Bites Trio felt like it was missing something and wasn't giving the flavors I was hoping for. The Waygu Burger looked amazing but upon attempting to eat it, the bun was soaked through with (I imagine) grease, so you couldn't eat it with your hands. I was not enjoying the flavor and opted to just really eat the fries (which were great). The kids enjoyed their meals & we enjoyed their side items, and my dog DEVOURED his meal! I'd go again but I would reset my expectations to more of a dive bar food offering for adults read more

The food is always delicious. The only downside is the sauce options. I have paid for BILL - E's comeback sauce for takeout & delivery and it is always forgotten from the bag. When dining at the restaurant it's easy to remind the staff that dishes served with the comeback sauce should actually already be on the plate or meal. The comeback sauce makes a great meal become absolutely delicious. read more

Loved the experience here! It has great outside covered seating with picnic style tables that have string lights. There is an inside dinning area as well as a bar. Our waitress was delightful and very helpful. The food was fast and the service was great. I wish I got a pic of the bacon cheeseburger I ordered and fries but it was all delicious. We had tuna dip and the pork belly trio as appetizers. Pic of the pork belly trio attached to this review. You can try the bbq, spicy, and sweet chili with this appetizer and the pork belly is delicious with a hint of Smokey flavor. read more

We arrived around 10:45 am to beat the lunch crowd. We were greeted by a server who asked us inside or outside and we chose inside as this is now 90 degree weather and the inside temperature did not disappoint. Our server came to our table and received our drink order and was more than happy to explain how to use our BOGO coupon. While we were waiting two gentlemen arrived with a gift card and she was very happy to assist with the balance on the card before they even ordered. I can say her service was top notch. Our food was hot and delicious. I wanted to try Bill-E's bacon as he is know for it and it did not disappoint. The lettuce was fresh and I could also tell it was from a local farm to table farm that I get lettuce from. The house made chips could use a little less grease but they were crunchy. The place was clean and nostalgic. The ladies bathroom was spotless! We will return!! read more

A good ol' country hangout with great burgers and fries and the bacon is house made and too delicious. Who doesn't love a thick slice of tasty bacon for an appetizer? Reminds me of hanging out at a friends house with the live music, old trees, down home cooking and friendly staff. Plenty of parking. Don't expect fancy but expect clean fun and good food. read more

Cindy was a kind and friendly waitress!!! My first cheeseburger was out of this world Will definitely be making a comeback! Nice and clean and cool decorations and comfy ambiance read more

I love the feel of this small restaurant. Everyone was very sweet and attentive. We sat at the bar and our bartender Stacy was the best! I ordered the cheeseburger with bacon and hubs ordered a fish sandwich. We started with a bacon appetizer, just 2 slices. The bacon is made in house and it was delicious! My cheeseburger had to be sent back because it was overcooked and too seasoned. When I got it back it was still overcooked but it tasted better. The fish sandwich was to my hubs liking, I tasted it but it wasn't that good to me, they funk it up with their sauce which is made with horseradish. I only ate half but I took my other half home. I will definitely go back because I loved the feel of it. I used to work in small bars like that and I miss those times! read more

Food and service were very good. Chicken sandwich was great but onion rings were overdone and poor. Grilled Romane was excellent good flavor. Nice craft beer selection. Check hours closed at 8pm tonight as it was "slow". Would recommend for groups and casual dining. read more

Super good bacon and bacon on any sandwich. We buy several pounds of sliced bacon to take home with us!

Best burger I've had in a very long time. Now I get what all the fuss is about. Fun place to take out-of -towners.

great burgers, fast service and plenty of good food. we ordered take out and was greeted nicely on phone.

What a difference a year makes. We couldn't have been more disappointed. Upon arrival, we were promptly seated. Our server, Ansley, was about as sweet as can be. After about 20 minutes we waved her down to put our order in and then we waited...and waited...and waited. It was over an hour from the time we were seated to when our food arrived. People came and went in the time we were waiting for our food. In the year since we last visited, the quality was noticeably diminished. The bacon was such a disappointment. I ordered the pork belly trio which was just six tough bites of pork belly. My buddy ordered the Bill-Es bacon taster and it was just two strips of overcooked bacon. I wouldn't even consider it thick cut. So sad. The bacon cheeseburger was decent. My wife ordered the grilled wedge salad which had ranch dressing instead of blue cheese dressing. A traditional wedge has blue cheese, or should at least have the option for blue cheese. The kids Mac n cheese was a hit and I enjoyed the grilled pineapple. The kids kids also loved all the room for them to run around. While I very much appreciated the military discount, the quality isn't there right now. You can blame understaffing for slow service, but the poor food quality will keep people away. read more

I stopped by while I was on my way to Pensacola Florida. It look like a little hole in the wall online and I thought it was going to be a barbecue joint. I got there after dusk and it looked like something from the HBO show true blood. Talk about an incredibly warm and inviting atmosphere. It was fantastic. I met the manager and he explained to me how they select their beef and how they cure their own bacon. To make a long story short they served one of the best hamburgers I've ever had in my life. And I'm 63 years old and I've eaten a lot of hamburgers. I have the waist line to prove it. I'm very happy I found this place and next time I'm headed west on interstate 10 I will definitely be back. read more

Food was good and service was good. I wouldnt expect the most but a really solid local spot to grab a beer and relax with a cool atmosphere

My first impression of Bill-E's was seeing the majority of the serving and cooking staff maskless in the middle of the biggest spike in COVID cases in Alabama immediately following the holidays. Not great. We were getting our food to go anyway, but that alone almost made us turn around. I was there for a hot dog and my mom just wanted a salad. She asked if the gentleman at the register if they had any non mayo-based dressings for their salads and listed examples. He said no but they had Comeback sauce. She then tried to confirm that comeback sauce had mayo in it and the server went to ask the kitchen before we waved him off, assuring him that comeback had mayo. Thankfully, he let her get a kid's meal. I ordered a hot dog and asked if I could get a chili cheese dog with comeback sauce. He confirmed a chili cheese dog and I added, again, with comeback sauce. We got onion rings, chips, and the bacon appetizer. The food was ready relatively quick and we headed back to the hotel to eat. The kid's dog came plain (no offer was made to add ketchup or mustard). The chili cheese dog with comeback sauce didn't have comeback sauce. However the saving grace was that the hot dogs themselves were very good. Thick and flavorful franks. The onion rings were good. The chips were awful. Some of the other menu items look tempting, but I likely wouldn't return to Bill-E's. read more

What can I say about Bill E's Catering in Fairhope, Alabama?!? I had never met Bill before the night of our rehearsal/welcome dinner held at Little Point Clear - since I was coming from Austin, it made me a little nervous. But he had been easy to talk to over the phone for planning and had a great reputation. I kept hearing from people at the venue and other vendors how much I would like him. I could not have been happier with the food and service that night. The beautiful and delicious food was set up attractively, replenished throughout the evening, cleaned up and the leftovers packaged for me to take at the end. He and his staff were so friendly and efficient! I highly recommend him and wish we were closer so I could use them again. Thank You Bill! Gail read more

Sat here an hour and half to get our food, then one of our dinners was left off the ticket. That meal took another 30 minutes. Once food arrived, it was cold. Extremely poor customer service with the manager yelling at lots of tables saying it's happening to everyone. First and last time here. Will not return. DO NOT RECOMMEND AND AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS!! If I could leave 0 stars I would. read more

Amazing bacon cheese burgers! An eclectic restaurant. I was a little apprehensive after reading several reviews, but decided to give it a try anyway I was not disappointed. The wait staff was very friendly and went out of their way to assure my wife's burger was cooked to her liking We will be back. The bacon was great as were the boiled peanuts. read more
