I grew up in San Francisco and when we used to want a burger, Bill's Place is where we went. This was some 20 or more years ago. I recently took my teens there, remembering how great it was long ago, and I was disappointed. The sandwiches are rather small, the hamburgers nothing exceptional. The onion rings are still great as are the shakes, but if I am craving a great burger this is not where I'd go anymore..disappointing.

Yep! This used to be a great place! My brother used to live right above the consignment store near it so whenever I'd go over as a child we'd go to Bill's for a burger and shake. Once I lived down the street from it I went with my then boyfriend cause they had decent shakes and occasionally late at night we'd like to go get a shake and fries. The owner (Bill?) who I had always seen around the neighborhood and always seemed pretty unfriendly came to wait on us and when we told him we wanted a shake and fires he rolled his eyes and gave us a that's all look and huffed away. My then BF & I looked at each other like is he fricken serious and then heard him mumbling to the cook and I listen and he was seriously complaining that these customers (us) came in at this time and all they want is a shake and fries! He's lucky to get any business at that time! Regardless we got us and as we were walking out my then BF said due to your foul attitude you just lost us as customers and the owner flipped us off and said who cares! MY god what an a-hole! <br> He had come into the store I used to work at in the neighborhood a few times and I had to assist him a few times before the restaurant incident and he was always very rude and talked down to me and everyone I heard him speak to. He has major issues and most definitely should not be running a business where dealign with people is a requirement.

We go there all the time when we're in a burger mood. I personally like the 'kiwi' burger, with cheese, cole slaw,

and a slice of beet. Also, my beer of choice when I come here is the Lowenbrau. A trifle more expensive than the Bud, but Oh So Worth It. :-) This is the place the locals go; I've even heard that Robin Williams has shown his face here.

In my youth, Bill's was a wonder. In my middle years, Bill's was a delight. In my later years, Bill's is a disappointment. Virtually every time I've been to Bill's in the past five years (and that isn't too often), I have been overcharged. When this fact was brought to the attention of our service provider, a smile quickly followed. One waitress even mentioned that it was the way that business was conducted. Hmm, interesting statement from the help! If you like greasy burgers, large milkshakes and a testy waitress, this is your kind of place.

It was good. What happened? It has gone to mediocre. That is very sad.

Great burgers, so-so fries, and onion rings that can be great, but not always. Delicious milkshakes and sodas. Eat at the counter, and watch them cook, or eat at tables in the front room under the chandlieers! On a rare sunny day in the this area of San Francisco, eat out back in the garden. That alone makes it worth the hassle of finding a parking place, if you live in the East Bay like I do. To work off this terrific meal, browse the local antique stores on Clement.
