Both were cooked and no pink was found. After trying my burger he said he wished he had purchased the same thing. I ate half of mine and took the other half home, but he ate all of his. One of the co-owners, Robert, took our order. He was super friendly. While eating we heard him talking to the staff in the back, and you can tell they all liked each other. The restaurant was spotless. I didn't go to the bathroom, but judging by the restaurant and what you can see of the kitchen, I'm going to assume it was also clean. I like knowing he used certified angus for the burgers. You can taste a difference. He also uses a local baker for the buns, and sources other things locally as well. I would definitely eat here again any day.

He made sure everyone was welcomed and I really loved that. You could tell he was passionate about his business and happily told us about different choices, helping us narrow it down to 3 different burgers, 3 different fries and milkshakes. We were getting our order to go so we took a seat while we waited and the owner came over to chat with us a bit as he cleaned tables and swept. The place was so clean and that was also a highlight for me. Once we opened up all the food we were so shocked at the size of the burgers. They are very hefty. You get a lot for your money. We ended up trying the fried egg burger, Mac n cheese burger and bbq burger. All 3 were a hit for us. For fries we did chili cheese, garlic Cajun, and sweet potato. Again, absolutely delicious. For the milkshakes we chose a classic vanilla and a cookies and cream and they were both so rich and yummy. We will definitely be back. It was a 11/10 for us in all areas-- clean, hospitable, delicious, and wait time for food. The man that runs this place is so kind and it is awesome to support local business when possible. Try it out!

The restaurant isn't that big its holds I believe 70 ppl. So not a large establishment. I started my breakfast with a chai latte and then I ordered the French toast. I believe it was a combo. Which it came with three slices of French toast two eggs and I did the two bacon and one sausage. Overall, the breakfast was really good. I feel my breakfast was pretty simple so it's really not much I can go off the sausage. It's really good. But my chai latte was amazing. I ordered that with extra caramel and it was a solid five out of five it was made to perfection. Now the ambience of the inside was nice and clean and photo ready. Our waitress was pretty nice. Will I return? Yes, I will.

I had a cheeseburger with onion rings and a handful of the fried mushrooms and fried zucchini slices. My wife had a burger with tater tots. The burgers at Bill's are so good. The buns are buttered and lightly toasted on the griddle, the burgers are big and cover the entire bun; they are cooked to medium but are not dry at all. Sides were piping hot and tasty. Ice tea is home brewed and as usual, drinks are self serve but the food is brought out by the lovely server we have seen there for so long. About the only thing that isn't perfect is the way that TXDOT did the sidewalk in front, it used to be all open for vehicles to pull in and park but when they redid the road and widened it the made an entrance/exit at both ends of Bill's property and with the raised sidewalk it makes parking your car in the front spaces a bit hard.
