    I ran in here for a sandwich on a Saturday. The place is the same but I haven't been here in years . I ordered a Ruben and potato salad . I sat outside lucky because there a couple of unruly children randomly screaming.Parents just allowed it ? The Ruben was ok not bad but the potato salad was the blandest I had ever had . When I got back and told where I had been they asked why because obviously they knew . I guess the place is ok for kids LOL. I joked that maybe they should hire the two kids when they wanted to close early. I'm not going back don't think it will get better. I did have a delicious milk shake here a coffee.

    I've been coming to Bill's since I was a kid. It's had its ups and downs. One thing has been consistent and that's the quality of the meat. Recently, I've come back a couple times and the burgers are still great but the FRIES are absolutely delicious! Whatever changes they made to the fries is working and they are great! Service has also dramatically improved in the last 6-9 months. If you haven't been there in a while, I suggest you go back and give it another shot. It's definitely improved recently.

    A staple in the Richmond neighborhood of San Francisco. I finally dined in after all these years. We sat in the back courtyard with our dog and enjoyed our burgers and fries. Delicious and relaxing in this unusual hot day!

    So happy to find a place with the classic diner feel! We got the hamburger medium doneness with added mushrooms and a side of fries. We have no complaints! It was a juicy and flavorful patty and the fries were fresh matchsticks.

    I love a good burger, and they definitely have them here. Brought my entire family and they all had a great time. We ordered a burger with mushroom, tuna melt, cheeseburger, veggie sandwich, coleslaw, fries, sweet potato fries, beer... we loved them all. Our favorite dish was the mushroom one: "Paco Melt". The server was very attentive and professional and the ambience is very cute. Historical dinner sort of establishment with some cool pictures on the wall that proudly show off their history.

    Bill's place is an essential burger joint and historic SF landmark. It's the best place to get a classic hamburger in the city. My parents went on dates here. My dad took me here when I was a kid. I grew up going on dates here, and now I bring my daughter here. This time we split the Bills 65th anniversary Burger with plenty to take home. The cornucopia burgers, cheese, bacon, fries, and onion rings was amazing. And free refills on sodas! Everyone is super friendly and it's a great vibe! Thank you to the Jarrar family for preserving and perfecting this jewel of San Francisco!

    We are return customers. Last time we were here was March 2024. It was just me and hubby thia time. I had the Reuben and it was delicious. Hubby had the cheeseburger and fries. I mooched fries off his plate. Great food and service as usual. We also got a chocolate malt and it was tasty.

    I just had another amazing dinner here with my family. The fish and chips I had was very delicious. The French fries were excellent. The service was friendly and the ambiance of this place was amazing. I can see myself continuing to come back here. I will love to take a picture but my camera on my phone is not working unfortunately.

    Food is always amazing, best patty melt I've ever had. My toddler eats almost a whole basket of curly fries every time too! Staff and patrons were all really patient and friendly with my wild toddler that did nothing but run around. we dined both inside and outside because of our wild child's need to run and climb. The back is clean and completely closed in so I didn't have to worry about her getting out! sorry and thank you everyone! Also it's owned and operated by a really great family 10/10 recommend Bill's

    Actual old timey burger place so if you like the things the way it use to be, this is a place for you. They have a "Celebrity Burger" which is like 4 burgers in one. A YouTuber, LATryguy, was filming his visit & he had the Celebrity Burger. The fries are so-so but the burger was pretty good.

    As usual Bill's Place is special. Home of the "Best Banana Milk Shake in San Francisco" and Amazing Hamburgers, their Anniversary Burger is special, if not huge, huge patties, all the sides, a great bun, cheese and I had their Thousand Island topping, no bacon. We fit nine people, had an attentive server, a nicely spaced dining area, many people came in for take out. Still a neighborhood favorite, and lots of people dining. When their world is humming things are great. Like to see them at 75 and 100.

    Excellent service! My only advice is to come and see for yourself. When we called to ask about a…read morewait, they mentioned there was not wait... part of the reason they do that is because they don't keep a list. You either have reservations or you're a walk in and you stand in line until a table is available for you. At first this was strange, but I think it makes for a better experience. The team was incredible, they were so kind on a day that can be stressful for a small restaurant. We had incredible food. I was so happy to get my Eggs Royale and my husband said the French toast was the best he's ever had. (Even comparing it to French toast in Paris) No notes. This will be our Mother's Day place going forward next time with reservations.

    My partner and I decided to go to the city one weekend and decided we wanted brunch. After looking…read morethrough some place, we came across Sisterita and it looked very promising. It seems like this place is an asian fusion brunch place incorporating french dishes into thai/asian themed dishes which is up our alley. We made a reservation at 1:45 PM and we had to wait for about an extra 30 minutes before getting seated. Initially, I wanted to try their crab fried rice but unfortunately they were out of crab. We decided to get the Alcatraz Escape and the Brioche french toast which were recommended by the wait staff. The staff was generally friendly and accommodating but I can tell they were swamped and stressed out with all the people they were trying to serve. The food itself tasted decent, the Alcatraz Escape had a tasty flavor which incorporates tom yum paste (sweet, sour, tangy flavor) into their scramble with about 4 shrimps. The side of crispy chicken was good but nothing that stood out to us. The brioche was soft but there wasn't much flavoring besides the fruits and caramelized banana. It was served with evaporated milk which made the brioche soft but not adding much flavor to it. The price however was quite pricey. For two dishes as a side we paid around $78 with tax and tip.

    I still love Brenda's!!!!!!!…read more I haven't been back in a few years, but I am happy to report: they are still just as great! It was my daughter's first time and she loved it just as much as I did. We came during restaurant week so we decided to get the Creole Sampler so she could try a bunch of different items. (Sampler included red beans and rice, collard greens, fried catfish, hush puppies, plain beignet and gumbo). We also ordered the beignet flight and shrimp and grits. Plenty of food for the 2 of us, plus we had left overs. I can't not order the shrimp and grits. It's just so damn good! It's so rich and flavorful! It came out SUPER hot. Grits and cheese still bubbling. My daughter and I were both surprised she liked the collard greens. She's usually not a fan. She also liked the red beans and rice and she doesn't usually like beans either. That just goes to show how amazing the food is here! We came in around 4something pm on a rainy Sunday. There weren't many people there, but by the time we left it was more than half full. Service was friendly, and there was a band playing, which was a nice touch.

Let me start with the star of the show - the Shrimp & Grits. The flavors blended so well I did a little dance in my seat. Creamy, savory and delicious! I will be dreaming about the Shrimp and Grits from now on. The Bananas Foster French Toast melted in my mouth. So yummy. I wasn't a fan of the Crawfish Beignets. It was something about the flavor of the red powder/ seasoning that left me underwhelmed. All in all, one of my favorite stops while I was in town.
