Bill's Burgers

Quick biteLocals' pick

A weekday-only Valley burger counter open since 1965, where the late founder Bill Elwell flipped burgers for decades. The order is simple: a griddled single or double with American cheese, or the bacon cheeseburger; 'You can't have it your way' says the menu.
