We perform checks on reviews.
Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

While in Pittsburgh visiting friends Bill’s Bar & Burger was recommended to us-we are so glad it was! The atmosphere was perfect for our large group! The music, lighting and spacious layout created a very comfortable space for connecting with friends. Our waiter Marcus was friendly, attentive and accommodating. He was juggling multiple tables but we never had an empty glass or needed anything he didn’t already anticipate. To top this all off the food was amazing! The menu has something for everyone but the fish tacos are a must! You should definitely try Bill’s Bar & Burger when in Pittsburgh!!

I was served by Tyler and the service he gave was phenomenal. He was always on top of things; when I finished my drink he was always there to refill it and did so expediently! The meal I ordered was the Ultimate Burger with onion rings and a mix of unsweetened tea and lemonade, and it was like a work of art! It almost felt like a shame to dig into the meal just based on presentation alone, but when I did it didn't disappoint! The burger was nice and juicy, while the onion rings had a pleasant crispness that I appreciated! As for the drink, it had an initially sour buzz that took me by surprise at first, but not objectionably so; it merely gave way to a nice, cool body that combined the best elements of the iced tea and the lemonade. Also, the food was very reasonably priced in addition to just being very high quality! Five stars, would definitely recommend for anyone who loves burgers!

We stopped in on a Saturday and were quickly seated. I had the burger with guacamole and hot pepper cheese, the burger was very tasty and cooked to perfection. My wife had the burger with a pretzel bun and bbq sauce and she commented the same that it was cooked perfectly and very juicy and tasty. The only thing that was not 100% was the hot cheese fritters, some were cooked too long and the cheese escaped. We would definitely return for another delicious meal.

my wife and I stopped here for a late lunch. we sat at the bar to have lunch. We waited about ten minutes to order drinks even though there were only four people at the bar. They do not have an extensive menu which is fine and I asked the bartender a question about one of the burgers and she gave me a pretty accurate answer and a good description of the meal. Burger Bill's is located in a Westin hotel and the pricing is higher than one would expect. The food arrived fairly quickly and was average tasting. Nothing great but far from bad. There is some construction taking palce right at the building so entering was a little difficult.

We were dripping off my son back at college. So lucky to have found this restaurant. A place that was open on a Sunday night in January! Place was not crowded and doing a ton of take outs. They were following all Covid safety rules and we truly felt safe eating indoors. Friendly bartender do all the jobs, he was amazing. Drinks and wine were up to standard. Food was awesome. Great selection of burgers and more. Something for everyone. Sliders was delicious, tasty wings and yummy salads. End it all with a milkshake. Out of this world! Th ask you Bills for being open during the pandemic and servicing visitors. We will be back!

Great food, service and atmosphere, especially in these days of customer service challenges…. these guys do it right!
Super convenient when staying at the Westin for work certainly, but I’d go here even if I weren’t staying at the hotel it’s attached to.
Head chef Larry came out to introduce himself and ask about how our food and service was. Tia behind the bar was awesome as well.
Gotta try the Keto My Heart!

I lead a networking group that meets at Bill's on a weekly basis. We use the private dining room they have in the back of the restaurant, and the experience cannot be matched elsewhere downtown. Larry (previous head chef and new GM) and his team have always been more than accommodating. They change the choice menu on a regular basis for our group so we have fresh entrees to choose from within our budget. The room is always set up on time, and our regular server has gone out of her way to learn the structure of our meeting so that she's in and out with minimal interruption. There's a large TV screen, and we use it to display our presentations and other digital documentation for the meetings. While we can sometimes hear the chefs in the kitchen, as the room is right next to it, it's still the best option for our group downtown, by far. The restaurant can provide parking validations, if needed. If you're looking for a restaurant to host a group meeting, definitely check out Bill's.

5 stars, Rob is a great server. Everything we ordered came out correct and fresh, the burgers are made fresh, not frozen. The sesame chicken & pretzels appetizer are great too! We ended up eating here 3 meals out of 6.

We were extremely hungry and were able to find food that each of us liked. They have the usual bar food (burgers, wings etc), salads, some southern gems (friend okra and pickles) and some gluten free fares too. Drinks were good.

We have ordered from Bill's a few times now and not one bad burger! The service from Larry and his team has been great. Our food is always on time and exactly how we ordered it (you know that one co-worker that orders everything "special").
I look forward to the office days when we order from Bill's. They have awesome milkshakes too! I stop in just to order the Strawberry Shake.

I hsad to wait before being seated. I counted one woman behind a two sided full bar, only one waitress and one man clearing tables. Kayia-the only waitress-allowed plenty of time to chose the South Of The Burger. Between two large buns is one large patty, on the bottom and topped with guacamole, caramolized onions, pepper jack cheese, queso sauce, chipotle aioli, pico degallo & jalapeno ltp.
A side order was sweet potato fries & a small coleslaw. Drink was a large lemonade. From ordering to serving was about 14 minutes which I use to start on a rough review. Behind the bar are two medium flat screens & one large flat screen.
Part of the seating was square table with four chais, two smaller square table making a complete square table & table along with two chairs & wall booths.
I would say eating the complete burger & fries took as long as the wait time. I recommend the South Of The Burger & any meal served at Bill's Bar & Grill.

For my weekly business luncheon, the service is always prompt and courteous.
The hamburgers and milkshakes are the best, but I often enjoy one of their salads.
The members of my business group consider themselves lucky to have a restaurant
that accomodatesour meeting schedule and provides a pleasant dining experience
at a moderate price.

Great place to eat for all occasions! My family always comes here to eat when we are downtown because the menu has everything you could want, they’re very kid friendly and the atmosphere is perfect for fast but always delicious food. The strawberry cocktail on the menu was delicious, the wings are always spot on and mussels are my personal favorite. For entrees my husband got the mini B’s, I got the salmon and our daughter had the kids chicken and fries. Our sever was very nice and quick on always making sure we had what we needed. Everything was amazing and we will definitely be back!

Maurice was our server. EXCELLENT!!
He had served us previously and he was phenomenal.
My husband, Wayne, and I didn’t feel rushed unlike the many meal restaurants we had eaten at.
He was so professional and offered us the meal ‘type’ we longed for.
Coming from Cape Town South Africa we never expected this Incredible service.
Wayne eats meat
I am vegan
Both meat and vegan options were explained and we were pleasantly surprised by the excellent recommendations!!!
He is a gem and it’s only because of Maurice that we returned to ‘Bills Bar & Burger - Pittsburg’
I definitely recommend his excellent recommendations as well as his friendly and relaxed nature.
Maurice, can we duplicate you in all the other Pittsburg restaurants..?

So we went out for our grandmothers 97th birthday and Maurice was immaculate. Every time the gentleman came back to our table he lit our table up with a smile that you can only pay for. It really made our grandmothers night! We will be back again and she says she going to ask for Maurice.
