I don't know why this place has such bad reviews, I had a great experience. I was in town for a short visit and did a late lunch with a friend. Bill's Bar & Burger was a win for both of us. We were greeted and sat right away, our server was nice and professional, got the drinks out to us quickly, and our food came out quick, nice and fresh. I got a Blackened N' Blue burger, and was delighted that they had GF buns! The bun option wasn't on the menu, so be sure to ask. Also the fries were GF, so it was nice to actually enjoy a "normal" meal for once. Nothing was under/over cooked, messed up, or wrong with either meal, and again, excellent service. The whole place was fun, inviting, clean, and well lit. Overall, it was a great place to meet up, eat, and be merry.

Service was a little slow, but burger was cooked too. Perfection fries weren't overly salty with a nice crunch.. sometimes I do feel like when you eat alone that waitress don't know if they want to give you attention or not and that's what I experienced here. However, when I was being served, she was very sweet. Just seemed a little too busy to continue to check on me since I was by myself.

Located downtown on Liberty Ave in the Westin Hotel complex. Nice menu with a variety of menu items, not just burgers. A restaurant part of the Landry's Select rewards program. A large dining area perfect for large parties. Nice big bar area with a nice selection of draft beers and a variety of different liquors. Clean and well organized bar. A nice Happy Hour that includes $2 off draft beers, $6 house wines, and 1/2 off select appetizers. The Westin Hotel is the host to all of the visiting sports teams. Depending on the reservations at the hotel often dictates the busyness of the restaurant. Nice, friendly and knowledgeable staff. I always get thank you's from the staff for being a Landry's Select member. A nice rewards program that includes a free birthday meal. All in all a nice burger spot with a warm hometown atmosphere. Highly recommended. Will visit again soon when downtown. CHEERS!

Best burger in town! Service is so friendly and love the vibes and music. Must try if you are in Pittsburgh

Meh.... Not the best burger in Pittsburgh by any means. Moonlit is 100x better. Service was lackluster & prices were high. You're looking at $25 for a burger & a coke. I was surprised how busy it was for being in a hotel lobby, but I guess it's because they weren't turning tables too fast. I actually hate live music inside a restaurant, but I did enjoy the live entertainment! Anyways... doubt we'll be back!

Winter Ale

Solid spot in downtown Pittsburgh with quite an expansive space to spread out in and enjoy. When I came by Bill's Bar & Burger, it was later in the evening when they had apparently ended the food service already....so for this visit at least, I'll only be able to review the 'bar' part of Bill's Bar & Burger. The service itself was very friendly from both the hostess and the bartenders - the main issue I had with it was how difficult it was to actually get their attention. I waited several minutes at one end of the bar and eventually went over to another part of it and waited a few more minutes before finally getting the attention of a bartender so that I could order myself a pint of an ale. It's not like there weren't several bartenders going back and forth behind the bar the whole time either - which is why that was a little frustrating to deal with. Nevertheless, the vibes inside were great. It had a warm, cozy feel with the lighting and decor, lively with some people enjoying drinks on the Friday night I was there, and my winter ale was very enjoyable & tasty! Bill's Bar & Burger looks like a great dining spot for hanging out in Pittsburgh - I'd love to return on a future visit to the area and give one of their burgers a try. That way, I can update this review with my 'burger' part of the experience!

Blackened 'N Blue
Brad H.

Stopped back here for the first time in years. I had some bad experiences in the past, but was happy to see things have changed for the better. I went with the blackened and bleu burger. It came with two smashed patties, bleu cheese, bacon, onion, and garlic mayo. I ordered it with the regular bun, instead of the pretzel. The burger was delicious. Everything was super fresh and hot, which was impressive since we had a group of 7. The flavors all came together perfectly for a great burger. The fries were also good with their homemade ranch.

Stopped in during the NFL draft for dinner. Server was able to seat us quick. Playoff hockey was going on for the Pens so vibes were high here. Quickly glanced the menu and went with bills burger and a vanilla shake. We got the large pretzel for the table. Pretzel was huge and had a beer cheese and a honey mustard dipping sauce. Both were delicious. The burger itself was so buttery and flavorful. Vanilla milkshake tasted like it came from an old ice cream parlor. So good!

I did not have high hopes for this place, it was however open on Thanksgiving. Our waiter juggled most of the tables and they were filling up fast. And surprisingly the burgers were very good! All of them in all their glorious variations. French fries held up too! The only thing just ok was the dessert but not bad at all.

My husband and I stopped in to Bill's after a day of travel and settling in to our condo. It was conveniently close, great selection, everything tasted great, service was good and had the feeling it's the place to be when games are going on in town. Our next stop in Pittsburgh we will be stopping back in!

My lowkey late night spot tucked away at the Marriott hotel in downtown Pittsburgh the service is always pleasant and the food as well I love the fresh cut Fries and burgers of course. They also have a massive chicken sandwich I recommend trying it.

Well stocked
Georgia S.

The menu seems a bit too broad for their capabilities. I came during midweek lunch, waited 18 minutes for a server to take my order even though there were only a couple of other customers

Yearly trip to our convention means a yearly trip to Bills. Wife got the south west border and I went with the Bills burger. Phenomenal.

Great food, great service. Always taken care of us well. From the apps to the shakes you cant go wrong

BEST PITTSBURGH WING…read more We were absolutely not expecting this and still can't believe it. We didn't have major expectations but hoped it would be at least a top 5 wing and average meal. It was beyond that The French onion soup we saw online and everyone seemed to enjoy that. We're whores for it so had to get. I like mine a tad bit salty which this was and PACKED with onion chunks and breaded leeks on top. It was impossible to get a spoon fully without any inclusions. My new favorite The Tavern Burger. I'm coming fresh off 9 years without 5 Guys (elite) and this rocked me harder than that. This isn't a stupid smash burger. We got a juicy COOKED PERFECT RARE 8oz patty, topped with sautéed onions, and bacon that isn't crisped to smithereens. I like my bacon medium rare and that's exactly what I got. Then covered in one of the craziest sauces I have ever had, their gorgonzola cream. I could drink that by the gallon The wings.... I have never had a wing itself cooked more perfect in my life. The smoke and meatiness on them was so nailed that I could get 2 dozen plain and still have the same reaction. We got the Buffalo Garlic and Dry Cajun Ranch. These wings don't need drenched in sauce by any means or it would honestly ruin it. The buffalo doesn't ned to be creamy either. Perfect amount of sauce to cheese ration. The dry cajun ranch was a fucking knockout. For how great the wing is I would love to see more dry season options with them Cam got a Tavern Dip. I hate dips. I loved the shaved ribeye on it and horseradish, but I have never been an Au Jus man. Would 100000% eat it without the au jus Then the fries. Always team psoriasis through and through. Not sure if I'm coming off the Five Guys high but their cajun boardwalk style are even better. Get some spicy honey aioli to dip them in. Truly just shocked at how amazing this place is. Right over the bridge and cannot recommend enough going here before a game and walking over. Great spot right before, after and during sports. Very high Pittsburgh atmosphere going on I will be back so many times and absolutely worth going Downtown for

They wanted to join our table with two other others to accommodate a larger party. I was a bit annoyed, but we complied.

Even had he not done that, I would have praised the restaurant and the meal. Service was excellent, I got an old school drink, which was made perfectly, and our steaks were fantastic. We were happy not to be upstairs where it sounded extremely lively. We are old, and a booth, near the bar was exactly what proved to be the best place for us.

The French onion soup was a banger. Very savory and salty, nice layer of cheese on top, and plenty of cooked onions. They hit and did not miss. The entrée was good - gnocchi with sliced chicken atop a sort of corn elote / chowder / cojito confection. The gnocchi were stuffed with asiago, but I tasted more corn flavor than any asiago. I'd say, for the price of the food (and wasn't cheap), it wasn't out of this world flavor-wise. But the vibes were cool and the cocktails looked interesting. I'd cone here again to try another dish.

We came in for an early dinner on Saturday 8/29/26 around 5pm before a show at Heinz Field (yes, I KNOW it's Acrisure Stadium - it will always be Heinz Field). This place is packed. As expected. Nowhere to sit, every single table was full. When a party finally left we snagged the dirty table that was never cleaned while we were there. We tried to get food from Mijo but were told before we ordered it would be a ln hour wait for food. We had the time but wasn't sure we wanted to wait that long. We grabbed a couple beers from the bar and the wait wasn't long. The bartender was not terribly pleasant, but he was buried and there were some other patrons that were not being patient or kind. It is REALLY loud - as expected, concrete floors, wood tables and metal chairs, high ceilings and nothing to dampen the sound. All of that said - it's a great space. All the food we saw looked great and we Will definitely be back at some point.

We went there after being discouraged at another bar on Carson Street. We were not that hungry,…read moreso, upon our waitress' recommendation, we tried a pepperoni pizza, thinking that we could order more if it proved to not be enough. It was probably the best pepperoni pizza I have ever had. The high point of the evening, was our waitress. I wish I knew her name. She was very helpful, attentive, and friendly. She treated two old people just like we were 30. One caveat though. The steaks on stones looked and smelled delicious, but the prices might be a bit high. It depends on how much you enjoy steak, I think. If you are a steak eater, I'm pretty sure you will be happy. Maybe we can find out next trip.

My wife and I were really looking forward to trying North Shore Tavern after seeing it on TikTok,…read morebut unfortunately our experience was very disappointing. We came in after 9 PM and waited about 20 minutes without ever receiving water or having our order taken. Our server did acknowledge us at one point and mentioned that she had two other tables ahead of us, which we completely understood. However, we later noticed another table that was seated after us being helped before we were. Meanwhile, no one came back to check on us or even bring us water. We also asked the host if someone could help us, but were told she couldn't because she wasn't a server and that our server would eventually get to us. After waiting that long with no service, my wife and I decided to leave. We were genuinely excited to eat here, so it was disappointing to walk out without even getting the opportunity to try the food. I understand restaurants can get busy, especially later in the evening, but even a quick check-in, some water, or better communication would have made a big difference.
