Ypsi Staple. Stopped in, to order six dogs fully loaded for lunch, with some root beer. It is always consistently good. Will be back regularly while I stay nearby. read more

Today was our first time visiting this place. We were met as we were walking through the parking lot to go and place our order at the front window by a gentleman who explained that it is a car hop, and they come to your car and take your order, and also deliver it back to you. He said "this is obviously your first visit?" which cracked us up. He explained the menu in detail, I had already done so after seeing a facebook post about them but my Fiancé had questions, he answered all of them, so we placed our order and headed back to our car with our pup to wait for the meals. We got a plain dog with mustard and a bag of chips, 2 chili dogs with onions, a pup hotdog for our little man Diego, a root beer and a root beer float. I must say, we all loved our hotdogs. The chili dogs were the best I have had since leaving California 14 years ago. Drool worthy! My fiancé loved her mustard dog, and Diego gives 4 paws for his plain dog. The root beer and float! OMG! Seriously?!?! One word only! PHENOMENAL! We will definitely be back, and thank goodness we live a fair distance away, because if they were nearby, they'd get sick of seeing our faces, and I'd be a few pounds heavier than I'd like to be. Thank you for the fantastic first visit. You definitely made us fans! read more

This was such a fun experience! I like hot dogs and my friend loves them! We decided to do a little drive to Yipsi and check out this famous little hot dog stop. It's a unique place with an old time vibe. You order from your vehicle and they bring out the trays with your food...kinda like Happy Days. We absolutely loved their Root Beer to accompany our delicious dogs! I highly recommend this place! read more

Nothing bad to say about this place. It was definitely a five star experience park your vehicle they come take your order and they were very fast to bring the food out and the root beer was absolutely amazing. Definitely plan on going again and again! read more

Everything went well. Homemade rootbeer, great hot dogs. Service is lovely and quick. Ambience is outside! We love this place!

So good!!! I wish I new about this place years ago. The chili on the dogs was so tasty. The root beer was the best I ever had!

Quick, simple and to the point coney joint. They take your order at the car (we didn't know this at first) and don't expect them to write anything down. However, our order was 100% correct. 1 chili dog, 2 Loosey's, a bag of chips and homemade root beer was almost $10.00. The food was delicious and customer service was fantastic. They only take cash so glad we had some on us. I'll def return if I'm in Ypsilanti again. read more

It isn't about the quality of the dog. While this was a nice quick treat: the dog was tasty and the root beer was cold and sweet- it was the two dudes running food out to folks that made the moment. Thanks for your generosity and welcome to a traveler read more

They were super busy on this rainy day. Carhops were quick to take orders. Food was delivered quickly and carhops were very pleasant

I've been going here for years! From the loose burgers to the homemade root beer, there is nothing here that disappoints! They do have a very small menu, but I do recommend checking them out at least once. Grab yourself a root beer float! Services, fast and friendly they come right out to your car and within a minute your food has been delivered. read more

I been coming to this place over 30 years and have always gotten their Loose burgers dogs with mustard and light onions. But last year the taste of the Lucy's have gone to hell. I don't know what happen but the regular hot dogs (had no natural casing) just aren't worth trying. Maybe if they start cooking Vienna style hot dog that pop when biting into them I will go back but how it stands now? We gonna pass this place up. read more

Bills are great every time! The root beer is amazing along with the chilli dogs. The staff brings the food out to your car and they are always pleasant. You can eat in your car or sit at one of the picnic tables. It is cash only so remember to stop at an atm first. read more

Best root beer ever. Better than grocery store bottled root beers. Better than A&W. If you enjoy root beer this is where you need to be. Hot dogs are quite good especially the coney dogs. read more

Excellent service and even better food. Simple, delicious, affordable, and a fun, nostalgic drive-in atmosphere.

Always great loaded chili dogs & love the homemade root beer. Prompt service even though always busy. Hate to see them close mid-October each year and look forward to re-open about 1st week of February. read more

Bill's is an Ypsi classic! The chili dogs are tasty yet affordable. It's a place everyone should experience at least once!

Trying out this hot dog stand I heard about. The hot dogs and loose burgers taste so good. The chili is owe my god good.The root beer float is yummy and delicious. Please stop by when you can. And they come straight to your car to take your order and bring it back. read more

Probably quite a good thing that I don't live closer to this place. Would be here very often and that can't be completely healthy. However it was amongst the best coney dog, loose burger and old style homemade root beer! Quick service - order taken from the car. Cash only, but very reasonable prices. read more

Best priced restaurant that's still around. Root beer and coneys are both great for when you're craving one. This place is a must try

Been going here since I was a kid. Amazing hotdogs and root beer! Cash only is kind of a pain, but on the bright side, if I could use my card, I'd end up coming wayyyy too often. read more

Bill's Drive-In - Prices as of March 2024 - Hot Dogs Near Me - Ypsilanti, Michigan

Swung through on a Wednesday night. Drove the family out for some dogs and root beer. First time here- very impressed. Would like to call it a road side hot dog shack, but I do not want you to think it's run down... place is running like a fine Italian sports car. Before you park the car a person greets you in the parking lot. Menu is simple. Dogs. Chips. Root Beer. Food comes out quick. CASH business. Quick. Simple. All-American. You eat in your car. Food comes quick. Root Beer is 10/10. Can buy it but the gallon, or order by Aug (and enjoy with a car side window tray) or have them drop a scoop of vanilla ice cream as a root beer float. Kids loved the hot dogs. Has to order more. I went with the loose burger and the b dog. Delicious. Want to try a silly bun (steamed I think?) and a chili dog. Place is cheap- all items are 1-4 dollars. Food comes out fast. Car runners are quick and efficient. Eat in your car. If anything, stopping in for the novelty of a drive in hotdog stand should be enough to dine here. read more

It's a walk up to your car service which I'm not a huge fan of, but the prices can't be beat. I placed my order at the window because I was waiting for my daughter (at school) to decide what she wanted after seeing their short menu and the guy who immediately came to my window said he'd be back in a minute but never did. I told the gent what I wanted and he yelled it to another guy in the back. I gave him my cash (they only take cash) and received my change. After I placed my order I went back to the car. He handed me the jug of root beer, and everything was crammed in the bag as it was to go. I checked the order and it was missing a hot dog. I went back to the counter to let him know, and he charged me for it. Now...there's no receipt to verify that this was paid for or not, nor is there a pad to see what was ordered. I just paid the money and left. Overall it's a good place to stop at if you're nearby, and the prices are good - plus you get your food pretty quick. Just make sure you get what you paid for before you leave if you're getting a to-go order. read more

Bill's Drive-In - Can you believe the prices on these!? - Hot Dogs Near Me - Ypsilanti, Michigan

I love this place and it's close to my house. There is no lobby you cannot go inside but what's better than sitting in your car and having someone come up to your window and asking how they can bring you some food and on the cheap? They only serve hotdogs, chips, and drinks. Nothing deep-fried, but the hotdogs are great. They're very meaty. Don't seem overly greasy. The buns are steamed and the Coney's have a nice spice although I would like more meat in my sauce and that's only because I'm used to Flint style coneys and dogs from Detroit which have a more ground hamburger texture. But the sauce is tasty and they don't overload you with onions and you can't beat the price. I got four Coney dogs and two bags of chips for $11 and I got to stay right in my car. However it is cash only just so you know! P.S. I should've gotten a picture of my Coney dogs, but I inhaled them. Sorry. read more

This little Ypsilanti Gem is some of the best hot dogs and homemade root beer you will very eat and drink! This is a Carhop location and they only accept cash! I have been eating here for over 50 years! Never had a bad experience! Only when they close for the winter! read more

Used to love this place since I was a kid, but the hotdogs I had today were tough to bite through. I will try them one more time, but they have definitely changed brands of meat. Guys, you better fix this fast! read more

Heaven. The dogs are perfect! I held the ketchup and relish so only chili and onion, then added cheese. Looks are deceiving because one is extremely filling but sometimes you just have to get two! :) Friendly staff (make sure to tip) and the food comes quickly. Definitely order the root beer- it's fantastic! Creamy and not extra carbonated like most. Will definitely be coming back. Cash only so swing by the ATM on your way! read more

Great hotdogs, service. And just a great place to get hotdogs !!!! Thanks for being kind

Once again, Yelpers come to the rescue! We made a quick trip to DTW to drop off our daughter for a flight, and had a jonesing for chili dogs somewhere between the airport and Kalamazoo. We found this highly recommended place, and made a stop for lunch today. Founded in 1939, this is a definite YELP FIND! Let me tell you - this is one of the best root beer stands we've been to. The extra bonus is that the chili dogs are delicious. The hot dogs are inexpensive, and are a GREAT DEAL. It isn't an all beef hot dog, but it is quite tasty, served in soft bun. On the main hot dog, you can get chili, onions, mustard, ketchup, and relish. Add cheese for 25 cents extra (it is not shredded, but a saucy cheese like you get at a stadium). There was just the right amount of every ingredient - perfect proportions. There are other hot dog options, but we stuck with the original. You will probably want to eat more than one, they are so delicious. Awesome service! There was only one waiter, but he is FAST, friendly, and has an excellent memory (give a great tip!). If he is wearing a fitbit, he's definitely getting his steps in! When he came back around after we finished, he asked if we wanted to order more. I asked if many people did so, and he replied with a laughing affirmative. Nice. The root beer was frosty and tasty. We each got a float and they were amazing. There was a huge scoop of ice cream, along with fresh draft root beer, at a price that can't be beat. You can get it in a to-go cup, or in a frosty mug. GET ONE for each of you - you won't want to share... You can eat in your car, or there are 3 picnic tables on the premises. We don't like to eat in the car, so this was a welcome sight. Tip: Cash only. Come prepared! Lastly, this place is clean and well-kept. It is freshly painted, has a clean parking lot, and is the home of the owner's family that lives right there with the business. You know that this is their life and their passion. There are three houses on the premises - the owner's, a house for the grandkids, and a house for the mom. This doesn't have a lot to say about the food, but it DOES have a lot to say about the people that own and run this business. read more

$6 and some change for two chips, two coneys and two root beers? Sign me up! Root beer is creamy, sweet and smooth and served in a frosty mug (you can get it to go if you want too but isn't it better from a mug?). Coneys were a messy delight. Smothered in chili, finely diced onions and mustard on a plump hot dog. Ask for extra napkins, you're gonna need them. No fries. Just bags of Ruffles chips. I hadn't had Ruffles in a long time, I think, so I was extra into them. Service is simple. Pull up and a fella will come to your window and take your order. Since there isn't a whole lot of prep involved your order comes out pretty quickly. A tray rests on your window and you go to town. It's tasty, cheap, and easy as pie. Can't beat that! I saw someone a car over from us get a root beer float and I told my husband I wish I had seen that was an option before we ordered. But it was nice to try the root beer straight up this first trip. Next time, float. I'm coming for ya! read more

It took me some time to get used to the style of chili dogs this place serves but I did and me and the wife come here all summer we also love the root beer they make here it is so good. I told the owner you know what you need here he said what do I need and I said you need Joey Chestnut the hot dog eating champ. He got right in my face and said "You're damn right I do!" We just laughed at his response he was so funny. read more

At one time, it seemed like every city, regardless of size, had a hot dog stand where you could also get a cold mug of foamy root beer with your pair of dogs. Today, these gems seem to be few and far between, replaced by legions of faceless McDonalds, Burger Kings and Taco Bells. Bill's Drive-In has been a fixture on Ypsi's eastern stretch of Michigan Ave since 1939...that's an incredible 80 YEARS! Bill's also provides car-hop service of sorts with millennials running across the parking lot delivering the goods to your car. I ordered "...One of each"...which, in Detroit, means on one dog and one "Loose" - ground hamburger meat layed into a hot dog bun. Smother those babies with chili and white onions and you're home. Wash it all down w/ a glass mug of foamy root beer. Bill's...80 years...5 stars. read more
