Good food, great prices. I honestly can't recommend everything in the menu but majority of the menu is solid. I love their chilli cheese Georgia hots and mozzarella sticks. The place is old school and true to the drive in fast food style. They have indoor and benches outside for enjoying your meal. They have a kids menu that includes a drink. I highly recommend this place if you are in the area and want a quick bite for a low price. Staff is nice and place is clean. read more

This place isn't a drive-in type of diner; it's a biological hazard. The fish was a flavorless texture nightmare that would make the Gorton's Fisherman file a restraining order, and the fries arrived cold, soggy, and depressed. Between the shriveled "hot dog" that was 90% bun, the instant potatoes, and the coleslaw served in literal hospital pill cups, I wasn't sure if I was getting dinner or being med-evaced. They even managed to screw up the pancakes, which is impressive, considering they're essentially griddle-fried flour. A filthy, tasteless disaster. Save your money and eat a few ketchup packets instead; they'll have more seasoning and better hygiene. read more

I ordered meat loaf with mashed potatoes. Mashed potatoes was cold and tasted like a TV dinner

Just ok. Typical low effort, low quality food but i will say at least its cheap. So the price matches the food.I had a chicken. Cutlet sandwich and it was just ok. The bigger issue here is the rude kid taking orders. Not calm or welcoming. Seemed frantic and very sloppy looking. The owner was in the back behind this kid and he seemed the same way. Grumpy and not thrilled to see people. Take a minute and work with the customer instead of rolling eye and being pushy. Why do these people act like everyone has been here read more

Hit or miss. One time it's very good. Another not as tasty & leaves condiments that you order is left off.

Ordered a bunch of food but by far my favorite was the breakfast sandwiches, especially the Buff, which consists of Georgia Red Hot, Hash Brown, Double Egg, Cheese on a Portuguese Roll. Simple ambiance and hospitable service. read more

Stopped by this place on a whim because Bill is my father-in-law's name and we'd never seen a restaurant named Bill's. It has fast service with a pretty large menu. This place is clearly popular among folks in Monroe as it got very busy at lunchtime. The food is simple and tasty. They have a good mix of burgers, Greek food and healthy options. This place is no frills. You order at the counter, get your food when it is ready and then sit down at a table or booth to eat. read more

Stopped in to meet a few friends. Bill's has a cool retro vibe. The place was incredibly clean and bright, and with little knick knacks/collectibles, memorabilia and photos throughout. The menu has so many options, including daily specials. You can order anything on the menu antime of the day! Soups are made in house. Staff were very friendly, courteous and seemed to care a lot about this place and all customers. Thanks Nico! I very much enjoyed my baja fish sandwich for lunch and took home a delicious roast beef sandwich with gravy on a toasted hard roll for later. We brought another friend an egg and bacon sandwich on a hard roll and she raved about it! I will most definitely return for gyro which I am told is magically delicious. Great, casual, friendly, super clean spot to eat in or take out. Plently of parking. Check it out. read more

Well, here we go! Bill's Drive In, is a nice little spot, Menu board was outdated and vintage, giving an old school vibe. But everything was clean. Ordered the breakfast special sandwich which included; Georgia Hot, two fried eggs, hash brown & topped with American cheese, all these items were sandwiched between a toasted Porteguese Roll. Great sandwich. The Georgia Hot (which is usually very spicy) was split and deep fried and finished on the grill which tamed some of the heat! On top of that was two fried eggs, over well, break the yolk, layered with two slices of American Cheese! To finish the sandwich was the toasted hash brown. The Portuguese Roll held the sandwich together (it really didn't need to be toasted; personal opinion). Taking a bite of the sandwich, you get a spicy bite of the GH, then eggs and creamy melted cheese; mellowing the spicy & smoky notes of the sausage and then the crunchy bite of the hash brown completed between the soft roll of goodness. Yummy. I will rate this sandwich with a 4.50 out of 5 stars. It's a well thought out sandwich. The price of the sandwich was $9.68, which was on the verge of the pricy side of goodness. It's a huge, meaty & cheesy sandwich which you cannot eat more than half at a time, wait awhile, then polish off the other half later! It's really was worth the trip. Ok now for the Morning Glory muffin which the cashier (whom was friendly, pleasant and accommodating) suggested that I have it toasted with butter! It was on the small side for $3.00 but it tasted better than it looked with the slightly burnt edges! The mixture of carrots, nuts and little chunks of nastiness was worth it (in my humble opinion). This is not an every day breakfast choice, but every now and then you deserve to go all the way to sit down, and enjoy a meal of tasty goodness. You owe you that!!! Thank you for being kind to me! It's not a given... Chef G Til next time read more

Driven by this place for a few years and always wanted to try. Well. On a hungover Sunday morning craving a greasy bacon Hegg n a cheese this was just about the only option open. And they did not disappoint! We came in and ordered the special. Which completely hit the spot! My tea order wasn't quite right but the lovely baggies came by to check on diners and gladly remade it. Family friendly, don't forget to check out the specials! read more

I need to start out saying, that it hurts me to leave a one star and need to write this review. But to get to here, we gotta go back a bit. It was 1998, my first job. I got to work at Bills, which by then had expanded to include the indoor dining area and was being run by the second owners. They had expanded the menu to include breakfast and Greek items aside just the Gyro. The food always came out quick but it was made with quality. As the owners had been in the food game a long time and ran Bills like a Diner. Fast but good. The vibe was always on point because aside the dining room, the front counter had stools looking out the huge front window. Old school feel that isn't easily found. Fast forward to current day with the new owners. Not just the food, but the atmosphere has changed. Gone are the stools, so now you just gotta stand ( especially if you ordered ahead or need to wait to go ) What used to be the spot for local news, events, so on, is now solely for their merch. The menu grew by a lot, which to me hurt what they already had going on ( which was a lot ) Prices increased and quality went down, which to me is never a good sign. I have no issues paying if the quality and service are right. For decades I went into Bills and it felt like home, always someone saying Hi, being friendly. Last time I was there, I felt like I didn't belong, and didn't get a very warm reception. I want Bills back to what it was, but maybe that is just wishful thinking. read more

Super quick spot for a awesome bite. Been coming here for years and never been disappointed. Typical drive thru food from sandwiches, gyros, and salads. Always a nice place to visit and service is great. Chill place to grab a bite! read more

Have been coming here about two years consistently. I am here Monday through Friday and sometimes Saturdays. I always love the breakfast and how they can modify anything on the menu. The employees work very hard and are super polite and willing to please. Always greeted with a smile and they have my beverage ready when I walk in. I feel like I'm Norm from Cheers. My kids absolutely love this place and my father enjoys it too. Overall a great place to stop and enjoy some food. I have never been here for lunch or dinner but their options look vast. I always see my former students here too. Great oldies music. read more

During Covid I guess the experience is different here I was just happy they were open My family got strawberry and chocolate shakes which were delicious are super big. We also ordered onion rings which tasted ok just not fresh. The mushroom Swiss burger was very good. My son enjoyed his kids meal but the hotdog Was a bit burnt. I had a chicken souvlaki which was good and was overflowing with chicken. Fun place to stop for shakes and fries We will Be back They have lots of specials that are not On online menu They take cc and have lots of parking read more

Great place, food, and service every time we visit. It's Become a lazy Sunday ritual when cooking breakfast isn't an option.

UPDATE: About time to do an update..I have been here several times since my first review and have new pics. So I like this place. But I like em better for breakfast then lunch or dinner. I was not wild about their fried clams and do not think I'd get them again. These are clam STRIPS..not whole belly clams. I do however love their breakfasts. I always have. Their bacon is so crispy and good. And my dad's a fan! He loves their egg sandwich. I am not much of an egg eater but it does look good. Food's out fast and it seems clean and is quiet. But the best thing is and has been their value. Bill's is so affordable and that is such a nice thing. They give good size portions too so you get lots of food for your buck! I would absolutely recommend them, especially their breakfasts. Hit or miss but absolutely cannot be beat when it comes to price. Bill's is a place to go when you want something affordable and casual. I have been here when the food was really good and then again when it wasn't. You order at the counter. Last time I was here they still had Breakfast all day which was cool. It's not a bad little place at all. I prefer their breakfasts to lunch and dinner. Sometimes I have found the fried food a bit greasy but breakfasts are fine and so affordable. Excellent value I must say. And one could do worse. They've been around forever and for something quick and convenient they fit the "Bill". read more

Just went to Bills for breakfast with family, it's been a bit. The worst ever burnt pancakes, cheap sausage / bacon in fryer both burnt and same with potato's. Let's get to price for what you are getting expensive with what appears to surcharge if you use your credit card which you aren't told. I'm not sure how they still stay open, sad. read more

Bills is a local favorite of mine so I come here pretty often. I got the western egg sandwich on their signature bun with the hash brown of course and it was so good. They did forget my bacon tho which was sad. Definitely a "dive" breakfast place nothing fancy and it's a but pricey but the food is good and is a local staple read more

Bill's Drive-In - Western sandwich - Burgers Near Me - Monroe, Connecticut

I think this place is pretty sold for what it is. It is an affordable counter service diner. They have all the basic classics plus dinner specials. Not much selection this side of town and this is the place to go for a pretty quick bite in comfortable surroundings. They are better priced and better quality than the only fast food place. You are not going to get a fancy steakhouse burger here but they aren't trying for that either. I would like online ordering ( not Uber) but their phone ordering is always fast and friendly. read more

This is a great little local diner for burgers, milkshakes, and fries! They also made a great grilled cheese!

It's been many years since I've been to Bill's, but the food is just as good now as it was then I highly recommend them. Their breakfast was outstanding and price reasonably. I'm only back in Connecticut for a very short time, but I will go back to Bill's again. read more

We visited Monroe for a quick getaway from NYC before school started for the kids. (Connecticut is the only place we considered visiting because of its equally low rate of Covid infection at the end of August.) we usually eat at a new spot for every meal, but after trying Bill's breakfast items, we ended up there 4 of 6 of our breakfasts. Excellent bacon, egg, and cheese sandwiches--which is really all I can comment on because that's all I ordered there. Being from NYC, where BECs are almost the official sandwich, I can say Bill's held up--just make sure you order it with two eggs instead of the default single egg. Then it's a true NYC-style BEC. read more

No taste. Cheese steak grinder, fries were horrible. Onion rings bland. Jalapeño poppers barely tasted like jalapeños, and my son said the cheeseburger was gross. Had high hopes only to be let down. McDonald's would've been a much better choice. read more

I was working in town for a couple weeks, and have been searching for a good, basic egg and cheese on a roll. This is the one. Fast, popular, delicious. If you want a good quick breakfast for a good price I recommend. read more

Terrible frozen food reheated in fryer. Billy burger is a joke, perhaps a fried sneaker would have been a better choice. Avoid, avoid avoid!!!!! read more

pretty good food but customer service some of the worst i've ever seen, impatient cashier, disrespectful and short tempered. Would recommend this place until we ordered and had to deal with this guy. read more

Top tier service, got my food within 3 minutes of ordering. I ate my burger before I even sat down. Was amazing. The diner is a throwback, the atmosphere is on point. It's a hidden gem, definitely recommend read more

This place has a little bit of everything. Good for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Breakfast sandwiches are solid. Get the hash brown with it. Good burgers and dogs, red hots too. Cheesesteaks never disappoints. Kids meals are great price for the quantity of food. Greek salad with grilled chicken was a pleasant surprise. Yes salads too. Keep your expectations in check with this place, it's not a 5 star restaurant but far exceeds any fast food place in the vicinity. Fast, cheap, and tasty with some healthy options. read more

A typical drive in menu, nothing unique...my burger was burned and tasted it. Not char broiled, burned. And dry. Cheese fries were soggy and bland. A steak and cheese was passable but frozen steakum types. For chili dogs etc it's fine. Regarding the music, it didn't fit the drive-in Americana/auto memorabilia motif. A lot of it is kind of depressing...put some oldies on or something. read more

In a nutshell: EZ access, free parking, reasonable prices, clean bathroom, can-do staff that smiles and wants to help (ain't that rare today) and ample portions. We got the chef salad and the tossed salad with chicken. The only criticism is that my wife felt the xtra chicken ($3.95) was kinda rough and too blackened. But overall a good place to pop in for a reasonably priced meal. Has a 60s feel, but much cleaner. Also, no diva in the kitchen. Took maybe 10 minutes for the food to be ready. Order at the front, and then sit either inside or outside read more

Amazing chili cheese dogs. This ranks in the top three places for chili dogs I've ever been to and I am constantly searching from great dogs. That said, the lady with black hair behind is the beyond rude. She's nasty to those that work there especially other women. It's hard to watch. You can tell she doesn't even realize she's being rude as she complains about customers and other people who work there in earshot of customers waiting for food. read more

I ordered a chicken gyro to go and upon unwrapping it had the consistency of soup. The dressing appeared watered down and the iceberg lettuce was tasteless pure white. Along with tough overcooked chicken; what a mess! The attendants are also curt and most unfriendly. In comparison, McDonald's is Manhattan upscale gourmet! The change of ownership and management apparently has destroyed a Monroe classic drive in... read more

Not your daddy's Bill's. Boy have things changed since the buyout. Bill's was never a place for ambience but the inside is looking shabbier than ever. Where Bill's really shined was the food and if you think you're going to get the same quality, think again. Skip the nostalgia and drive-by Bill's, not in. read more

Solid fast dining. Brand new interior. If you haven't been inside in years, come look again. Great quick food for families and those on the run. Nice little local haunt. Breakfasts are great, burgers and sandwiches are fine. Prices could be better, but not horrible. read more

good not great food, but as other have said you cannot beat the price. Definitely worth a visit

Took my stepson here on the way home from an appointment and was pleasantly surprised by how delicious the spinach and feta egg white omelet I had was. The omelet was cooked perfectly and the hash browns and whole wheat toast that came along with it were tasty as well. Can't beat the price of $7.00 dollars either. Will definitely returning for a quick and delicious breakfast soon! read more

Bill's Drive-In - Spinach and egg white omelet with hash browns and whole wheat toast was delicious! - Burgers Near Me - Monroe, Connecticut

Honestly? Since the buyout, McDonald's is a better option. With burger patties so thin you can read the paper through, to the dirty booths, this honestly has gone downhill. The previous owners had it made. Now? Nobody goes there anymore and its apparent why. Just drove by, 7pm on a weekday night. Zero, I repeat ZERO cars there. Cant say I blame people for eating elsewhere. This place needs an upgrade in food, decor which makes no sense together (framed paintings of houses and baskets, and retro coke signs?).. When the new manager is there, it's almost unbearable. Shes rude to customers, rude to employees talking (yelling) about vacation time off etc. That's a discussion for one on one, not for the entire restaurant to hear. As someone else said. Drive by Bill's, dont drive in. read more

I'm every weekend at Bill's with my boyfriend and we're used to like there. Today I decided to go by myself, and as I finish my other and turned my back I heard "you look pretty today". I wasn't sure it was with me, so said nothing. I got my order and when turned my back again to go to the table some of the employees YELLED again "YOU LOOK PRETTY TODAY". I was alone in a restaurant with a lot of mens working in the balcony and kitchen, no woman. DOESN'T matter if it was compliment, I just wanted to eat in peace, I felt me kinda of uncomfortable. When I left the restaurant another employee's yelling "YOU LOOK PRETTY TODAY". I felt me SUPER uncomfortable and ashamed. I don't go out expecting people yelling compliments without me asking. And even less from an employee of a restaurant where I am the customer. DON'T GO THERE, so disrespectful and with idiot guys. read more
