The food was outstanding; great vodka martini with blue cheese stuffed olives. The service that Bill provided was second-to-none. Oh, carrot cake was to die for Can't wait to return! read more

Went for brunch. Very limited menu. One choice of omelet, that was tasteless. Bring back the prime rib hash! If you drink great place for brunch , food not so great. read more

A great spot for lunch. Their grilled cheese and tomato soup is fantastic. Tough place to get into for dinner and they don't take reservations but if you can get in, it's worth your time. Great cocktails as well. read more

First time customer. Four of us had an excellent experience the food was this world. Atmosphere is great and reminds me of the old and was there for many decades. The outside patio is excellent! read more

I've had this place on my radar for many ears, but never managed to get here until now. It was a beautiful summer afternoon, so we sat outside for lunch. A lot of the food seemed kind of heavy so we split the risotto balls appetizer and each got a kale Caesar salad and French onion soup. Not the most adventurous choices, but everything we had was quite good. I'm glad we sat outside - the inside seemed kind of stuffy to me. Definitely old school Bloomfield Hills, which has no appeal to me. read more

My wife and I stopped by Bill's late last night for a quick midweek dinner. The staff seated us immediately. The waitress came by with a friendly smile, we placed our order and had our food within minutes. Can't recommend the Parmesan chicken enough. It was delicious. We have been dining at Bill's for several years and have never had a bad meal. Everything is consistent. Independable read more

First Visit to Bill's - Definitely Not the Last! Today was my first time at Bill's in Bloomfield Hills on Woodward, and I can't believe I've driven past it so many times without noticing it! It's tucked in the same building as Brewer's Bagels, Oswald's, and Chase Bank -- not sure how I missed it all this time. A buddy of mine and I were texting about grabbing food, and he suggested Bill's. He said, "You've got to try the Eggs Benedict, but get it on the James Beard hashbrowns instead of the English muffin." That was all I needed to hear. We sat up at the bar, and Alisha was our bartender -- she was absolutely fantastic. Friendly, attentive, and just on point the whole time. We ordered two entrées to split: the burger and fries, and the Eggs Benedict on hashbrowns. Both were phenomenal. The flavors, the presentation -- everything was spot on. We also had a few mimosas (which were perfectly balanced, by the way), and between the food, the drinks, and the atmosphere, the whole experience was top-notch. Bill's has such a great vibe -- upscale but relaxed, and definitely welcoming. I can't wait to come back and try more from the menu. This spot is a hidden gem on Woodward! read more

I ordered the Vegetable Scramble with Chicken Sausage. It came with an interesting mix of veggies you don't usually find in a typical veggie omelette. The dish was generally good though a few bites had an odd almost sour taste that threw me off. I asked whether the orange juice was fresh and I was told it was it's just not squeezed in-house. Supposedly it comes from a place that presses it for them. If they're really paying someone to deliver "fresh" juice they're not getting their money's worth because what I was served tasted exactly like carton OJ. Service was inconsistent some staff were warm while others felt noticeably cold. The restaurant itself is decorated in a very eclectic way with trinkets scattered throughout. I don't think I'll go back and I'm not sure I recommend this place to others. read more

The other night I really was considering going to Bill's in Bloomfield Hills again, but I made the trip to nearby Birmingham and did a drive-by at a few new spots I had seen on Yelp. After reading a few with mixed reviews , I decided to turn around and go back to Bill's. The restaurant and bar area were packed on a Tuesday around 6:30pm. I was lucky that a seat at the bar opened up as I arrived. Jane the bartender was extremely busy making several specialty cocktails and called a number of customers by name which was impressive. Eventually she took my order for a Dark Horse local beer on tap which was enjoyable. I reviewed the menu that was on the counter and I was eventually asked if I would like to order something to eat. I had to order my go to, Bill's burger, which is topped with arugula, gruyere cheese, and a Dijon aioli sauce that was exactly what I was yearning for when I decided I was going out for dinner. The burger is also served with a substantial order of fries and everything was well worth the wait and consistently delivered as with my prior experiences. Although I would say pack your patience as it seemed they were slightly short staffed, or just got slammed that night unexpectedly. The effort of the staff while working at a 150% pace and the friendliness to many customers made this an enjoyable evening and it was nice to chat with a few adjacently seated customers. I always find something new and interesting to look at while waiting that I haven't previously noticed, and on this occasion was a fox with a bow tie on the shelf that seemed to be looking at me which is a nod to the Fox & Hound which was previously on this site and damaged by a fire. The other interesting item was a photo of George Washington at the bar. read more

Great food and service! Sharon is our favorite server. I definitely recommend this restaurant for any occasion.

We had an amazing first experience at Bills. First of all, they don't take reservations, but we were sat quickly on a weekday for dinner. It was busy, but not too busy with a lively bar. We loved the decor, it's very fun with a lot to look at, but with a dark moody vibe. I loved that all the design elements were cohesive, from the checkered tablecloths, wall decor, and even the bathrooms. We started with the lamb meatballs, truffle fries and calamari. As a calamari lover, this was a super win dish for them. It was surprisingly tender and we loved it! For entrees we got the NY strip, brick chicken, and the chicken parm which was on special. They are all very balanced, a meat, carb, and veggie. The star of the show was the NY strip plate, the steak was cooked perfectly, covered in peppercorns, and had really well cooked Brussels sprouts on the side. The server was great, the perfect level of attentive. I loved my experience at Bill's and I will be back! read more

I love going to our local family owned restaurants, Bills is very good always busy, the food is consistently good. I look forward to coming back here. The only draw back is they do not take reservations. But they have a nice bar area to have a cocktail and wait for a table read more

Bill's Restaurant - Chicken Tosca ... very good! - American Near Me - Bloomfield Hills, Michigan

A group of 8 of us (7 adults, 1 toddler, 1 baby) were at Bill's for Mother's Day for a very late brunch. We arrived at 330, and brunch ended at 4. Our table had two waitresses and they let us know that we had to choose between brunch or dinner as a group. After some debate, we decided on dinner. I think everyone enjoyed their food. I had the meatballs which were tasty, but I feel like texture needed something more as everything in the plate had a soft texture. My husband enjoyed his burger but also felt all he could taste was truffle flavor which is delicious but I feel some variety is needed in a dish. The service was good, but I think we might have tested the patience of one of the waitresses trying to decide between the two menus, asking questions and having a pretty active toddler! read more

Long wait to take our order and long wait get the food. They removed the best dish from the menu- Chicken Tosca. Hope they bring it back.

We had a wonderful time at the brunch on Saturday. My beet and burrata salad with grilled chicken was wonderful and my husband loved his chicken Caesar. They also made accommodations for my seed oil allergy by cooking the chicken without any seed oils. The bartender Alicia went above and beyond by mixing up my own Dijon dressing with olive oil and lemon and no seed oil since I couldn't eat the premade dressing. Amazing service. We will be back! read more

Still a great brunch. We had a large group and the wait staff was very accommodating, even splitting our bill. Avocado toast was great, with poached eggs that are perfectly runny. read more

Food always delicious, servers are very friendly, the menu for fish is wonderful. The ambiance is amazing

I have eaten both lunch and dinner at Bill's; both were very good. We had lunch on our most recent visit. The atmosphere is very nice. I had the tuna melt and it was one of the best I have ever had. Everyone enjoyed what they had. The French fries were cooked to perfection. The service was good. I will definitely return. read more

Bill's Restaurant - Burger and fries. - American Near Me - Bloomfield Hills, Michigan

Update June 2025. Still fabulous! Our server was Alicia-same as last time but now I can recognize her. Great job, Alicia and Bill's! We did all appetizers. (1) smoked whitefish on crackers. So delicious we were tempted to have more. But we continued to ( 2) truffled fries. Decadent and delicious. And (3) the lamb meatballs. Just wow. Appetizers lunch was delightful! A+ Then we had decaf coffee with Bailey's and carrot cake. Boy oh boy-this was paradise! It's a good thing I don't do this frequently. Once a month is rewarding. Thanks, Bill's. As always! read more

Excellent menu selections with great service. Brodetto (Italian fish stew) was excellent, as was the NY Strip Steak. The salmon entree, however, was a bit salty. The location is convenient and the atmosphere is quieter than many of the newer "tavern style" establishments, which many will appreciate. read more

Great food Great service Consistently good! The staff from the hostesses to the bussers are all on top of it. Sharon is usually our server and she is always nice. Even brought me out blackening spices to try for my swordfish since I wasn't sure if I wanted to order it that way as it's always perfection. Love the creative sides with the entrees. The bread is also delicious. Michelle the manager stopped by and she too, was very friendly and nice to talk with. Delicious as always. Get there early though because it is always.crowded. I love the kale Caesar and the crab cakes. We have yet to order something we haven't liked. A friend of ours at another table ordered the seafood dish in lobster broth. The only thing I would suggest is to bring a crusty piece of garlic bread on the side for dipping. That would really elevate the dish which he said was delicious! read more

Once again, a stellar brunch experience at Bill's. Rodney was wonderful in accommodating our reservations. Our usual server, Rachel, was beyond excellent and made sure our brunch was perfect in every way. The crab omelette was outstanding, as was everything else we ordered. I can't recommend Bill's more highly. Thank you and we'll be back! read more

Took my husband to brunch for his birthday. He loved being treated to whatever he wished which included oysters, champagne, steak and eggs. We had a lovely morning. Bill's is always exceptional! Cocktails, food and service it's the best for a relaxing and consistent meal no matter what your event. Casual to dressy come as you are and enjoy a lovely time. Wonderful attentive service. read more

Best burger ever. Prefectly prepared to my liking (rare) and crispy on the outside. Huge - ate half and took home the rest. Cocktails were delicious as well. 4 of us and we were all pleased. Great waitress named Dorothy - def will go back and want to be in her zone. So personable and accomodating. Easy parking and accessible right on Woodward. read more

It's one of those go to spots where you can order something and chances are that you will like it. We got some raw oysters to start and my mom and I split the jumbo lump crab Louie and the lobster & gnocchi. Everything was very delicious. I have to say the miss were the beignets. The texture was a bit off for me. Service was great and would recommend and come back. read more

Not usually a fish fan but tried the trout off of one of the waitresses reccomendation. Not only was the fish and food 10/10, so was the service. Thank you Dorothy! read more

I love Bill's. Part of it is because it's the old "Fox and Hound" and I'm nostalgic. But it's also just a great place. Food is excellent and so are the drinks. It's a small place and it's always busy, but somehow it doesn't feel crowded to me. My service has always been spot on and I love how the place is decorated (again, back to the nostalgia thing). It's a little pricier than the chain restaurants, but not outrageous and it's totally worth it in my opinion. read more

Omg! Every time I come here the food is simply outstanding! I had beet salad, veal Marsala, probably one of the best ever eaten! Service is excellent! Easy in, easy out! read more

Great local setting. Menu is varied and well done. It can be very noisy. Happy Hour is great. Love the meatballs!

First time at Bill's came here for our girlfriends Bday Brunch on Sunday. This place has an interesting almost mismatched decor between hunter house and a french boudoir. We set inside since the weather was not cooperating that day, they have a covered patio that looked great. On to the food it was delicious and the presentation was great. Had an avocado toast the eggs were slightly over cooked but no big deal, my girlfriends had split pea soup, lox Benedict and a frittata everyone were happy with their selections. We also ordered a large size pancake- cake with fresh fruit and whipped cream enough for seven people. Drinks were strong and service was prompt and friendly. Would like to come back to try their dinner menu read more

Attentive service by a pleasant staff Great food especially the truffle fries. Excellent wine selection although somewhat pricey

Food was fantastic. Lots of variety of meats and seafood. Obviously high end chefs. Managers visible and caring. Nice quiet and cozy atmosphere. Hidden gem! read more

Arriving by 5pm allows you to get a table usually. Starts to get busy around 6. Great selection of spirits available. Not a great spot for the younger people (children). We had four in our party with everyone trying something different. Portion sizes were good. I'm not a huge fan of the mixed vegetables and I was not able to substitute (reason for the 4 star rating). Service was good, not great. The bar area has a regular crowd. This area fills up earlier than the dining area. Older members of my family eat here often. I dine here on an average of once a month or so. Easy parking in the back of the restaurant. Enjoy! read more

Bill's is a family favorite for us already and an easy go to on a day where we can't decide what to eat! Today was our first time trying the brunch and it didn't disappoint. Our party of 6 was sat instantly and welcomed by friendly staff. I had the Bill's Bellini and Avocado Toast with salmon, the toast was a bit soggy but overall delicious. We had a wide variety of orders from the Bill's Breakfast, Eggs Benedict, French Toast, and the special Peach Baked Pancake with nothing but compliments! Even tried a bite of the Peach Baked Pancake, it was a large portion but to die for! The staff was more than accommodating and we didn't feel rushed at all, we even ended up staying a good amount of time afterwards chatting. With some time for a quick coffee! Will be back soon. read more

It's packed here for a Saturday night, we arrived around 6:50pm or so, was told by Brittany it would be about a half hour wait. It's 7:20pm, still have 4 groups ahead of us. We sat down around 45 minutes, so note to self, add about 15 to Brittany's estimate. The interior of this restaurant reminds me a lot of the Tom's oyster bar chains with a mix of Rustic cabins in GPP with the animal mounts on the walls. I like all of the random pics covering much of the wall space. Nice royal blue color wall and accent drapes. Cool railroad ties framing the ceiling. The large brass chandelier gives it a classy feel too. Our waitress, Lauren seems nice, diligent and attentive. Doesn't look like they have the mushrooms stuffed with escargot, scallops or frog legs either. 3 for 3 things I wanted they no longer carry here. Bummer. Was it seasonal, waitress told us they got rid of the mushroom stuffed with escargot years ago. Settled for the char grilled octopus, brick chicken, house salad and traditional Niçoise salad. Odd that we weren't offered any bread and we at least ordered one full entree, I do get my $20 salad doesn't count. Other tables were given bread, but why not us? Is it because I asked for no croutons or bread on my salad, that might be so, but my hubby still eats gluten. The bread did end up coming until after our entrees arrived, strange since it came with the soups at the table next to us. Bread comes on different schedules it seems. Or you should ask for it earlier. The octopus was nicely charred, well cooked, tender and tasted good. The goat cheese and arugula salad with the octopus salad was yummy, along with the artichoke. The side salad was good, dressing was light and sweetened. Enjoyed the blue cheese crumbles on the salad. Yes, I ordered a starter for my salad and a salad for my entree since they didn't have 3 items I was craving from the yelp pics on here. The brick chicken was perfectly cooked, tender. The Niçoise salad wasn't bad, nice dressing. I wasn't super excited about it and it wasn't outstanding as far as overall taste, but everything was perfectly cooked. The green beans had a nice bright green to them and the albacore chunks were big and a generous amount too. read more

A little disappointing to be honest. Drinks were fabulous although initial round seemed like it took way too long. Service was very personable but seemed like a novice. Entrees were iffy... Maybe because we ordered late? 10pm lights were turned on to get us out. 400 plus for four of us with 100.00 tip. More then likely won't return. read more
