LOVE LOVE LOVE Bills. Every time I'm in town this is one of my first stops. The Billy burgers are such a classic. Bun, meat, cheese, pickles, onion, and Billy sauce! The workers are always so patient with me as I usually do a huge order haha. I love the remodeling for the outside patio and benches in the front. With summer around the corner, I cannot wait to have a vanilla dipped cone! read more

The pastrami on roll was delicious nice and thin not too fatty and bread was spongy Corn dog was as expected as well I forgot to take a photo of the grilled cheese but that was good as well i do wish they grilled it a bit more to fully melt the cheese and get a bit more of a toast on the bread but other than that food was delicious and the pastrami was supper filling. I do like that there is seating behind the building was clean and spacious a little windy but thats just part of the ambiance jajaja read more

While I may not be too old, this place brings back memories. Bills take out after a minimum day at El Camino Jr High or Sunday menudo. I will say that the food does taste slightly different from what I remembered it, slightly downgrade. Overall love this place and I hope they return to the classic taste. read more

Old time hamburgers at great prices! Service was great! The milkshakes are really good too.

Best burgers in town hands down . Always satisfying when ordered. Great all American burgers

Nice to have this place back! Service was fast since there was only 2 other parties waiting for their food. Only outdoor sitting. We went in for lots of Billy Burgers, shakes, fries and burritos! Next time we will get bigger burgers since the patties are so thin for our liking! First time coming back since they reopened, but will be back to try other items. Tuesday special! There will be tri tip sandwhich coming soon! read more

Got a bomb chocolate dipped soft serve. Really good! Just like McDonald's but bigger!

Love Bill's and their prices are pretty good, but right down the street at Rancho Bowl you can get the EXACT same deep fried burritos 2 for $6, like $9 @ Bills. Sorry guys but all you DF Burrito people $3 is $3! read more

I've been passing by Bills Take Out on Broadway for a while and wanted to give it a try for lunch. I went at 11:55 on a Tuesday and there was a small line. It's an classic oldies looking joint with walk up window ordering and seating outside. They do have a wide range of items on their menu too. The girl at the window was nice and the wait for my food was about 8-12 minutes with several people in front of me. I got the #6 Billy Burger Combo with a Cherry Pepsi(Coke)? and a deep fried burrito. Billy Burger and fries - 4 Star - This burger is small, it came with onions and a thousand island type sauce. I took off the pickles. Even for the size it was a solid burger seasoned and cooked well overall. The fries are large, thick cut and they are generous with the fry portions . Fried Burrito - 5 Star - This hit the spot for me. It reminds me of the frozen Tinas Red Hot you get from the store but about 10x better, a bit bigger, and fried crispy. Be sure to ask for the Del Sol(?) hot sauce in the yellow packet since they don't have it out front. I spent $13.00 which I thought was a good deal for the amount of food. read more

I will never return to this place. The food was terrible, and I was expecting better. The service was questionable and unsanitary. The staff was rude, and I will never be back. read more

My husband and sons absolutely in love with their Bill Burgers! Their fries and onion rings are worth having

I use to come to this place with my Cousin Jack to get the menudo right when they opened i brang my own big pot and they would fill it for.us. read more

Are open Sundays. Gave Menudo a try. For the cost should come in bowl not soda cup. Provided only onions & lemon as garnish. Menudo seasoning is usually proved but at at Bill's. Customer service questionable seemed plastic. If I try Menudo again would go to a restaurant. Had burger way back which was fantastic. Nest time I will try a taco or burger when in the neighborhood. Has nice covered patio in back. I like the nostalgia. read more

incredibly good burgers, fries and shakes!!! Had the sliders and big beto cheeseburger. Already planning our return visit!

Childhood fave and still one of the spots now as an adult! Billy burgers, deep fried burritos, shredded beef tacos and salsa, French fries, the drinks, dipped cones. The list of their top faves kinda just doesn't stop lol read more

What can I say... Bill's Take Out is such a hidden gem. I refer all of my friends to this spot who might be travel through SM on their way up north or south. Why stop at In n Out when you can grab Bills? Their exterior seems untouched and straight from the 1950's. I find their vintage details quite romantic. It really makes for a classic burger joint experience. I can just imagine young couples pulling up late afternoon for a quick bite. Staff is always direct and friendly. No fluff or funny business here! It's a true "in & out" experience. The food is great! Always consistent and fresh. I always get their billy burger w/ fries and a deep fried burrito. Oh.. and a large Coke! They serve their drinks over crushed ice... It's my fav! I really hope this spot moves forward for many generations. Bill's Take Out is truly ICONIC! read more

It was my first time here. We ordered a Billy burger and fries. It was the best we've had in a very long time. We will be back!

If I could give half stars, I would give this place 3.5 stars. This place has good, extremely large shakes. I have only gone here for the milkshakes, but my dad got their burger and said it was good. This is one of the few places that carry malt milkshakes (it's so hard to find places that serve malt milkshakes nowadays I feel like). The shake is huge. It is tall (maybe the length of your forearm) and about as thick as both your hands making a circle with the thumb and middle finger. The milkshake is good and delicious. It is not super thick where it is a lung workout to suck up the milkshake. The price of the milkshake is only $5 for the large, which is pretty cheap and affordable, which I like. This place gets dinged because of Covid safety. The employees wear masks, but social distancing isn't exactly enforced. Masks are not exactly enforced as well. During my last experience here, I witnessed one of the cooks pouring water over their hand over the hamburger, which is quite disgusting when you think about it. I also witnessed two people going to order, and one of them was not wearing a mask while ordering, which unfortunately my milkshakes were in the waiting to be handed to me, so it was within breathing distance of those customers. This I did not like. Also, this place closes at 6PM, which is early if you ask me. Overall, this place has good food and milkshakes, but it is not exactly the most covid-friendly place to go to. read more

Actually 4.66, but I gave the lean to 5 because we both enjoyed the food and the transaction was smooth and easy. Came by to satisfy a junk food craving. Ordered the 4 Billy Burgers with cheese for $5.98+tax special ($1.79 if buy one at a time). I asked what made up the Billy Burger with cheese and she said it comes with pickles, onions, and their special sauce. I asked if the onions could be grilled and she said yes. Take note that they only accept cash. After a reasonable wait, my hot food was ready. For a simple cheeseburger, this was very good Sometimes you just want a simple burger with no lettuce, tomato, egg, bacon, chili, mushrooms, etc This burger puts my usual McDonalds cheeseburgers or double cheeseburger to shame. Service was efficient and friendly. As their name states, this is a takeout restaurant. Food: 4 Service: 5 Ambiance: N/R Value: 5 read more

Went to bill's today had the best service and meal!! we have been waiting for the crowds to die. They didn't fail to.Deliver ! So good!!

Their deep fried burritos are the absolute best! Highly recommend! Their burgers are really delicious too!

Honestly disgusting, my family ordered 5 burgers total and all were almost ice cold, and the buns were absolutely soggy and cold as well. the fries were the only slight upside to the whole experience. after the long wait it wasn't worth it read more

service is bad it's strictly says they can add lettuce, tomato, and onion upon request. I have been overcharged two different times and confronted the person today at the register at 11 AM. We ordered a small hamburger and she put on a big hamburger. I know don't pay your taxes before, but I will never pay them cash they should be embarrassed actually seem embarrassed that they take cards out. I'm surprised they don't put a surcharge on it but they charge for every little thing except the taco sauce for the burritos LMAO do better bills. read more

I have an attraction to things from the past. I find it distressing how corporations keep tearing down the old buildings and replacing them with shiny new fast food joints. It would be nice if things lasted and I could show my child the places I ate at when I was a child. Bill's looks like one of those places that has survived from the old days. I knew I had to eat at Bill's seeing the faded old neon sign and the 1970's architecture. Built in 1974 Bill's has been run by 2 generations of Barragan's. You can read the full story at the Santa Maria Sun website. Menu is large with many items I like. Staff was very friendly. The patio is where we chose to eat. Santa Maria is quite windy and having a wind break on 2 sides is really nice. Half pound burger had thin double beef patties like In N Out but bigger. Loved the big beef flavor and the bacon gave it an extra flavor. In N Out was my fav fast food burger but I like this one better with the bacon powered flavor boost. French fries were hot crunchy and had lots of delicious potato flavor. Cherry shake was very thick just the way I like it. Not a big fan of the cherry flavor which tasted just like a cherry Icee. I was hoping for a cherry ice cream flavor like the black cherry ice cream at Thrifty's. I enjoyed my trip back in time eating an old fashioned burger and fries. I will be back to see how Bill's sign is doing in its battle against the sun and to try a vanilla shake. Long live Bill's! read more

Such a nostalgic lil burger stand! Everybody who is anybody In Santa Maria knows that this is the place to get a quick bite to eat when looking for a greasy spoon. Billy burgers with cheese and onion are the best, love the deep fried burritos, and the fries ordered well done dipped in their special sauce is a salty treat. Don't forget about menudo on the weekend. It sure is good but don't sleep in too late because they run out pretty fast! If you have a sweet tooth get their cone or a shake! Pineapple, butterscotch And chocolate chip are some of our faves! The only complaint I have is their service. While it's pretty quick, it's also not very friendly. In all reality it's fine with me since I only have to place the order and pay and then I'm on my way! read more

Bill's Take Out - Menu - Burgers Near Me - Santa Maria, California

Classic experience. Cash only! I've eaten here a few times when visiting Santa Maria. It's a true time capsule back to the 1950s - even the parking lot looks like it maybe have had carhop service at one time. I love how the architecture has remained virtually unchanged. It may look a bit rough today, but it's still neat to look at. The restaurant, to my knowledge, is walk-up only. There are usually a few others in line. This place offers a good variety of American and Mexican fast food items. I keep it simple and order their burger. It's nothing fancy but I'd consider it a true classic. It has a great flavor and pairs nicely with their perfectly-crispy fries. This restaurant is in an older part of downtown Santa Maria, though freeway access is fairly close by. It's not a touristy place by any stretch. If you're looking for a classic American meal and have cash on you, give this spot a try. read more
