Killer turkey wrap with avocado, just awesome!

Was not a huge fan of the Chicago style hot dog I got. Barley any mustard/relish/onion but enormous chunks of tomato/pickle/sport pepper, just odd. But good fries though. Store feels kinda cramped but as do a lot of hot dog places.

An unusual restaurant, to say the least. I guess one would categorize it as "fast casual". It has one of the most extensive menu of any such restaurant of which I'm aware. In addition to the expected burgers, hot dogs and fries, they feature numerous salads, panini sandwiches, wraps, pasta and more. I sampled a double patty melt, fries, onion rings and what they call cream of chicken rice soup. The patty melt was different and not really to my liking. The bread was marbled rye and it appeared they utilized some kind of unusual, almost lemon like seasoning in the toasting process. In addition they added pickles and ketchup without asking me. These aren't standard items on a typical patty melt. The onions appeared to be carmelized and were quite sweet. I prefer your standard grilled onions that have more "bite". There are probably others that would enjoy this sandwich more than I, but it wasn't bad. The soup was a big disappointment;watery and containing little chicken or rice. The fries and onion rings were decent, not outstanding. With more and more places opting for the fresh cut skin on style of french fries, these crinkle cuts are fast becoming an anachronism. To their credit everything tasted fresh and made to order and the service was friendly and efficient. The interior is pleasing to the eye, but the dine in area is small and rather cramped. If they're crowded you may find yourself nearly in the lap of a fellow diner.

Ok guy's... I don't want to bad mouth this place because the customer service is a A+. But the food is not a 4 star, I had to re- season my chili and other items...I went when they where about to close. So maybe I'll try back at lunch time.

SUMMARY Overall, it was a pleasant dinner experience for a reasonable price and we would dine here again. FOOD Overall food was good and reasonable value. Salads were a good size. Hot dogs were good and on poppy seed buns. Cheeseburger was fantastic (except the pickles - see SERVICE below). I grew up in Chicago and was raised on Italian Beef so I am a bit of a snob on the Italian Beef (e.g., I won't eat Vienna Italian Beef - not worth it). The Italian Beef recipe is their own and had a nice flavor. I prefer a bit more spice (not heat), but I would definitely get the Italian Beef here again. SERVICE There as only one thing wrong with the order. We specified no pickles on the burgers and while they repeated the order back to us, it came with pickles. Not a big deal unless you absolutely detest pickles and the picking them off still leaves the pickle flavor. Service time was very good. We went on a Tuesday night in June around 7:00 pm. Ordered dinner for 6 and it took about 6 minutes.

This place is absolutely awesome. All the typical Chicago fast dishes you live. Family owned and you can tell! The customer service is great and the place is always clean. Can't wait to go back. Get the dog and drag it through the garden.

The food here is good...but this place is hit or miss. Sometimes everything is great and other times it sucks. My biggest problem with this place is you wait forever for everything. I figured I could get around this by calling in an order. It was a decent size order so they said it would be between 10-20 minutes. I show up and wait another 20 minutes before the food was ready. Now if there were 10 people ahead of me and the place was full of people dining in then fine. It makes sense. There were 2 people waiting ahead of me and nobody showed up while I was waiting. So they obviously weren't that busy. Make sure to check your order if you call in. I'm referring to your receipt. I got ripped of by $6 on my last order (that I again called on and had to wait for). I was told one total over the phone and another when I picked it up. For these reasons alone I am done with this place. I give it 3 stars due to the food being pretty good, but be warned.

Their homemade soups are so good, and the family and other workers are so nice! I have been going here forever, and everything tastes great!
(5)Zenia B.
Best place in town for a quick meal. Food is always fresh. Always. Best spicy chicken sandwich ever !!!!! Have tried several other things on the menu as well and everything is spectacular. Highly recommended spot for foodies.
(5)Georgene M.
My family and I have been coming here for over 10 years. This is one of our favorite burger places and the people that work there are always so kind. They have everything from hotdogs to pasta so everyone in the family is always satisfied no matter what the craving.

I wasn't overly impressed by the food at Billy's. Last week I went for lunch with a friend while in the area because of the good Yelp reviews. It was a bit pricey for what it was and I found the food to be nothing overly special. I had a cheese dog and fries. The crinkle cut fries were okay, mediocre in my opinion with nothing special to them. The hot dog itself was good! I love me a good Vienna Beef sausage! But the cheese was globbed onto the dog in the middle which seemed a bit odd to me. So I had to use my fries to kind of spread it evenly out. It was also a bit awkward as we looked at the menu deciding what to order and the guy behind the counter just stared at us...I felt ever so slightly uncomfortable. I think I'd skip coming back here as there is better food at better prices in the neighborhood.
(3)Ahmed E.
Service is slow, but well worth the wait, the cheeseburger and the Billy Burger are in my all time top ten burgers
(5)Jason R.
I have been coming to Billy's for years and everything in the menu is amazing. From the Hot dogs, steak and tuna all great choices
(5)Theresa L.
Amazing paninis! Tried the Italian and turkey avocado pesto ones... So impressed coming from a beef place. The menu is extensive and it is hard to make a decision but I promise you can't go wrong here! Thoroughly impressed!
(5)Jason G.
Lots of Chicago classics and a lot of homemade foods and healthy options. Best pannini's, soup and specials. If it has billy in the name you're getting the works.
(5)Sandra L.
I can't believe I've lived in this area on and off for so many years and never went to this wonderful neighborhood restaurant! We love local places and this is now definitely on our regular list. I had soups, panini's and fries that were all delicious. Their homemade lemonade is great and fresh made on site. The staff was very friendly and both times I've visited it was almost standing room only which really speaks to the quality and service their regulars expect and why they keep coming back.
(4)Rebecca K.
I've been coming here since 1996, and Billy's is great! The staff is friendly, courteous and loves their regulars as well as new customers. The food is good, I've never had something I didn't like. They offer so many options, sometimes it's hard to choose! They are a touch pricey for a fast food joint though, that's the only reason I didn't give 5 stars. If you're looking for anything from classic American food to great pastas and soups, this is the place for you. Bon Appetite!

This place is a step above a regular hot dog joint, having a more extensive menu, and vinyl table cloths and plastic plants for the decor (hey, they're trying to class up the place!). You walk up and order at the counter, but there is room to sit (although it is a bit cramped with two ill positioned round tables that are between the booths). The food was just ok. My husband's hot dog and fries were fine. I liked my Vegetarian panini enough, although I did find the veggies used weird. When I asked what kind of veggies were in the sandwich, the response I got was, "Oh, lots of them." He then asked if I wanted avocado - which I agreed to. So how weird could it be? Well, there were some boiled carrots, cauliflower, zucchini, spinach, tomato, avocado, cheese and their spinach artichoke spread. I could have done without the mushy carrots, cauliflower and tomato - but the rest was good. But why was I charged $1.25 extra for avocado when avocado was listed in the description of the sandwich? I noticed after I paid - so I wasn't going to make a big deal, but those little things irk me. This place is very close by, so we'll most likely stop on in and try more on the menu.

Yum yum! I am new to this area and a friend who lives down the street from there brought me there for lunch. So good! And supporting local business, too. We had the Turkey Reuben and a California Panini - bot fresh made and nice and hot. The Reuben was turkey - so it was trying to be healthier - and it was, and it was still good. The panini was nice and cheese - with a whole flat chicken breast and avocados/ And the onion rings were possibly some of the best I have ever had. Nice crunchy breading. And FIFA was on - perfect weekday lunch after moving furniture. I will go back!
(4)Sherwin C.
For me, the food here was okay but nothing really impressive. The ingredient quality and freshness here is nice but I didn't find the taste to be anything special. The matzoball soup was a bit salty while the cream of chicken soup was a bit thick and could have used some extra vegetables for flavor. The cheesy beef seem to be seasoned too heavily on the beef, the burger was pretty good, gyros were fine, and farfalle pasta seemed to be a bit on the salty side as well. It's an okay choice for me but I'd prefer Kostas or Portillos both for the speed and style of cooking.

I love ordering from Billy's. It's so close to my Sister's house. I call ahead for take out on almost every occasion I'm in the area to babysit her kids. It's not that she doesn't have food in the house, there's just nothing for me to eat in her fridge. There are so many choices, I haven't had to order the same thing twice. Tonight, I ordered their Char-Grilled Pizza Burger. For $3.99, it's a 1/4 LB of beef with melted mozzarella cheese and marinara sauce. Fries are not included so I ordered small fries for $1.39. They gave me marinara sauce to dip the fries in at no additional charge. The service is always excellent and the food never disappoints. If I get there before my food is ready, I don't mind. Billy is a sports fanatic. There are sports memorabilia and a TV tuned in on game highlights. He is a huge Chicago Bears fan. The walls are painted in their team color Orange!
(4)Bob S.
Been coming here off and on for several years. I like the food. Have a good selection My only gripe is its getting kinda pricey. Had a sandwich, fries,soup and a pop Almost 14 bucks. To me that's high priced fast food.
(3)Dawn M.
..Food is OK..for that I will give 3 stars. Their burgers are delicious and so is their chicken rice soup, Service HOWEVER leave a ton to be desired.. unless I have lots of extra time, I do not go there. I drive right past this place on my lunch hour and cannot stop there as I know I will spend half my lunch hour waiting for my food. I have even gone there for just the soup thinking it would be much quicker since you just have to put stuff in a container and boom..you're done.. well..NOPE! It took 10 minutes to get one container of soup. That's ridiculous!
(3)Jenny D.
Its that time again for their homemade soups!!!!
(5)Erik H.
What seems like a greasy strip mall hot dog joint from the outside turns into something surprising once you walk through the door - a modern, clean, quick-service restaurant selling fresh-squeezed lemonade while blasting 90's crying ballads. But what the place had in character it somewhat lacked in food. I ordered the hot dog and fries, because I have to, and it was extremely... dull. The bun was a little too bready and it somewhat overwhelmed the thin dog and its paltry toppings: some vegetables sprinkled on and a pickle that took up little more than half the length of the wiener. All told, it was an unimpressive offering, and the fries fell short of spectacular as well. It seems like a well-run, decent place for a lunch, but those on a hot dog pilgrimage can skip it.
(3)Robyn M.
What an awesome local place! Took my nephew there for lunch a couple weeks ago when he was in town visiting since he craves a good Chicago dog and I need healthier options. Billy's delivers on both accounts! Salad was filled with wonderful fresh greens and veggies and their spicy chicken sandwich was also excellent (that fresh touch of cilantro on top was outstanding) My nephew thought it was definitely one of the best Chicago dogs in the area especially since it came on a poppy seed bun which several local places no longer do and then it's not a real Chicago dog. Even their pickles were awesome. Nephew was enticed to try a banana-strawberry milkshake and felt it was well worth the calorie indulgence. Can't wait to take the rest of the famiily to Billy's next time they come to Chicago for a visit. .

Food is great. it stops there. Don't go here if you are on lunch.There isn't a slower restauraunt around. If you call in your order for pickup they never start cooking it until you walk in the door. God forbid if you say something to Billy. .He looks at you like your an ...hole. Wont be going back,not enough time
(2)Mallory S.
damn good, nice restaurant with TVs to watch a cub game during the day. ive had the gyros and dogs which are both AMAZING. great spot to grab lunch. been coming here for many years.
(5)Will P.
Billy's is pretty good, but I've always had such terrible problems with the service. It always takes way too long to get your food for this type of restaurant. I love the chicken caesar wrap, but I dont want to wait 10 minutes for it. Sometimes I'll call in and tell them I'll be picking up the food in 15 minutes, and I still have to wait. If Billy's could get their act together I would eat here more often since their food is good, but I just cant take the service any more.
(3)Kevin K.
Not your typical fast food sandwich place. All the ingredients that go to make up the sandwiches are fresh and tasty. You also get a lot of food. Be careful if you come in and you're not hungry because you will be taking home your meal. The soups are very good too.
(4)Jillian H.
They are so much more than a Hot Dog and Beef joint. They do a great job with dogs and beefs but you should really try some of their awesome specials. The turkey and fig panini and meatloaf sandwich are great! They make a great garden salad with mixed greens, red pepper slices, cucumber, carrots and cherry tomatoes serve on a chilled salad plate. They make everything to order. You just don't get that type of service and food from your typical hot dog and beef place.
(4)Eric B.
This place does everything right!
(5)Dan S.
I've been coming to Bill'y since it opened so many years back. From the outside, it looks like your typical strip mall hot dog joint, but once you enter, it's a nice, welcoming restaurant with a lot more than your standard hot dog & burger fare. They make a variety of homemade pastas, soups, & other meals not typical to a hot dog place. It's a family owned business & I've never seen anyone besides them working behind the counter. They're very nice & always appreciate the business, even if you only get something small. Being close to home makes Billy's an easy choice, but I'd go out of my way to come here if I'm not in the area, highly recommended!

LOVE the chicken caesar wrap! it's a great price for a delicious wrap! the people there are really great, they forgot my onion rings once and they remembered to give them to me for free the next time. the desserts are also very tasty.
(3)Steve m.
Went here for the first time the other day after passing by the place countless times. Got a burger and a beef. Burger was nothing special, although I suspect if I had gotten a double burger it would have been better. The beef, however, was one of the better ones in the area. Really good consistency and the meat itself was done up right. Nice, dipped chewy bun and hot peppers. Prices are really great--I am surprised they are so cheap--cheaper than most similar places. Menu is quite extensive. Would definitely go back and try other items.
(4)Amy H.
This place rocks. The food is always fresh and tasty, the people are nice, and the place is clean. And I swear I am not related! Definitely pick from the specials, you won't regret it. Pastas, desserts, salads, sandwiches...everything is great. And for a hot dog joint you'd think the food couldn't be good for you, but they are masters at vegetables. Try the veggie wrap or the Angie's signature salad...om nommy! Oh, and homemade desserts!
