Bill's Restaurant in York

Staff handled our allergy need with the correct level of attention, despite them being very busy. We were very impressed.

We booked a table for 4 for my Grandma’s birthday. We were sat down quickly at the table and ordered our drinks. The coke zeros came in the form of a warm can, so warm to the point the ice melted completely within a couple of minutes. The food was tasty but i wouldn’t say particularly good value, but i suppose that’s the coney street tax. We waited ages for our table to be cleared and to order a desert. This was a Sunday at 1300 and it was fairly busy.

Until you stop adding service charges to bills then you will only get one star. This isn’t America. We pay the menu price and a tip is optional. Service charges are just ridiculous and a cheap way to inflate the bill. The food was mediocre anyway so am not planning on returning.

Casual atmosphere, a bit cramped, a lot of tables in a small space, friendly service, food is tasteless, lukewarm, not appetizing and has a poor price/performance ratio, like the whole restaurant.

Polite staff and a nice place, but 40 minute wait for 2 breakfasts and scrambled eggs on toast is poor. Very expensive for the portion size too. ☹️☹️

We went as a family to Bill's for the first time at the weekend and the atmosphere was great. Varied selection of delicious items on the menu, speedy and attentive service. We are looking forward to going back the next time we visit York.

Absolutely fantastic food, exceptional service, definitely recommend the eggs Royal 👌

Nice restaurant. Pleasant, efficient staff and good food.

Welcoming, friendly and efficient staff. Relaxed atmosphere. Great cocktails, and nice to see a range of veggie food - try the Garden Plate, yummy!

Very friendly, warm, and comfy restaurant . The staff were very accommodating with us wanting to chat with a drink before placing our lunch order ... Freshly prepared tasty food

Very cool place, my chicken burger and flatbread were very boring and tasteless. My girlfriend’s beef burger was quite good however. They tried to sneak a 10£ service charge as well, and after being disappointed with my food, I found that a little outrageous. I’m very confident that I was just unlucky, as the place seems very cool.

Great food and great service . Very friendly

Unbelievable gluten free pancakes, absolutely delicious and lots of other choices in the GF menu, had great service too.

The menu is a good selection of modern favourites and old classics. Especially recommended for the brunch menu.

Nice food, good place to eat with friends

Great food. But as always the food was the main event. Staff as always attentive and polite. Tom in particular was very helpful and patient when I was needing to open an app to get a code.

Great menu, great welcome, great service, dog friendly and affordable. Highly recommmend.

Date night on Saturday, even though the restaurant was full the service was fantastic! Food was outstanding as well. Really enjoyable visit.

Really great atmosphere, topped off with some amazing food!

Bill's found on Coney Street, York. Offering a select £15 menu throughout Yorkshire Menu Week. Food inferior, staff very friendly, quick service. Simply not value for money, sorry. No atmosphere. A gifted experience, disappointing.

Excellent veggie breakfast.so much on the plate. Set me up for the day 😁

We visited the restaurant during brunch. No queue. We ordered three traditional breakfast. Bacon was so dry and the portion is not in a decent size. Food was not good. Just didn’t worth the price. Approximately £50 for the food and drinks, at the same price I believe there are many other options. Do not recommend.

Lovely burger and fries. Service was friendly and quick.

Good burgers , overpriced and the service charge is cheeky though.

Had a lovely breakfast here on Sunday morning. Very good service. Very attentive and friendly staff. The food was served promptly and was very nice. Good choice of food. Nice airy feel to the place with plenty of space between tables. No loud music so could talk easily with each other. Restrooms could do with a lick of paint but they were clean.

Highly highly highly recommend getting the truffle fondue, the waitstaff are all incredibly kind, and the food is high quality. The only issue I could see anyone having is that the music is a little loud, but that didn't stop us from enjoying a lovely meal.

Lovely food, service quite slow, but lovely atmosphere to wait in.

went for bottomless pancakes the other day and had a great time! pancakes were very tasty (chocolate was the best) and the staff were lovely and environment clean and nicely decorated. would return!

Food and service were great, but it was a bit dead the evening we attended. We were in and out in less than an hour!

Our dessert was delicious. But if the Minute steak is on the menu avoid unless you have the chewing and swallowing skills of a Billy goat. Service was quick and friendly when we were there around 1700 (5:00 pm). Others in our group had pancakes which they enjoyed.

This was not my first visit to bills. The food is absolutely amazing and I thoroughly enjoyed everything I had today and will be back very soon. The staff we are very friendly and efficient

Delicious food. Great customer service. Must visit when in York!

All good, expensive 🫰 portions, too expensive drinks, £5 for a bottle of beer. Think before you enter.

Went here for lunch today with my family and had a lovely experience. The food was really tasty and I would recommend to anyone visiting york!

Just had a superb family brunch for 8 people which was delicious in beautiful surroundings. I had an expired discount voucher however our server Tom liaised with manager Blen, to honour the discount. This really was above and beyond and ensured we will continue again and again for special family time

Super service - and such friendly staff. As a gluten free diner, fantastic to find somewhere that serves gf pancakes! Will definitely return next time I’m in York.

A great execution in York of this lively and friendly restaurant chain. Super service by friendly and attentive staff, food was delicious and the drinks were on offer so what was not to love? A minor hiccup was addressed unprompted by the very professional manager, James. Highly recommended for family and friend nights out.

We were in York for a few hours and wanted somewhere for lunch. I spotted Bill’s and having been to Bill’s in other locations I knew we would have lots of choice. I eat gluten free and my husband likes to eat smaller meals so Bill’s was perfect. Even better, I spotted a sign in the window offering bottomless pancakes for £5! Bill’s has to be one of the few places where the gf option is the same size and price as the main menu and I’ve had the gf pancakes before so I had no problem deciding on what to order. My husband opted for a prawn, mango and avocado salad followed by donuts. My bottomless pancakes came as a trio with bacon and maple syrup; I was very full after just these 3 but was asked if I would like more. Respect the the young couple sitting just behind us who got through at least 6 each😹 The staff were great and very supportive of my gluten free order. Our bill was quite low as my food was only a fiver but I did notice that a service charge had been automatically included. I would be happy to eat here again on my own ( hope the all day bottomless pancakes for £5 is available the next time I visit!)

Great atmosphere, good service and nice selection of dishes. Could do with a blind on the window as was facing the glass in full sun.

Lovely team breakfast with great staff and really accommodating given a large group in the morning

Nice food and service, Dan was a great server!

We came for dinner and were happy with the very attentive and friendly service and also the food was good. We really approcated the separate GF menu, which was great for my daughter.. The only surprise was the added service charge they automatically add to your bill, I prefer to tip when I want to, not be forced into it.

Great place for the Kids as they eat free with an adult meal. We turned up just after 5 and their pancakes stopped around then but they still made them for the children. I can fault them. Chicken and burgers are really tasty.

Overall very satisfied. I thought it was a little pricey when I first ordered it, but after tasting it I felt it was well worth the money. The fish pie is really delicious. The fresh cod, salmon and shrimp are grilled with cheese, mashed potatoes and vegetables. The seasoning retains the umami and aroma of the ingredients and has a rich layering. I can’t believe that he only needs £16. The only shortcoming is that for my personal taste, it is a bit monotonous when I taste it directly. I ordered a garlic bread to go with it. Personally, the taste of this dish reaches a new height with the bread, and I can give it a thumbs up. Full marks cannot be overrated for this dish. Flowerpot is a dessert that is beyond my imagination. It is shaped like a popular potted plant with moist "soil" underneath. The first bite starts from the soil. The scent of lemon directly penetrates my heart. The crushed biscuits and lemon The perfect combination of juice makes it sweet and refreshing at the same time. With scattered fruits and nuts, the aroma and taste are unparalleled. The cheesecake inside is also very smooth and rich, and the refreshing fruit is perfectly coordinated with the thick cheese. I can also give this dessert full marks, it is very cost-effective. There are two small flaws. The first one is that the main body of the cheesecake with the chocolate shell is a bit too sweet for me personally. The second one is that I think that while spoons are provided as tableware, knives and forks should be provided when enjoying the cake. Keep it stable. Just my personal opinion, thank you.

Plenty of choice on the menu for picky eaters and a child. Really enjoyed the food and came in decent sized portions. Not necessarily gourmet but good quality and well prepared. Great, attentive service and very reasonably priced.

My next favourite restaurant. Great staff, beautiful retro decor and faultless breakfast and coffees. We enjoyed the full English and Vegetarian Garden Plate, and they were just so tasty and large portions.

This is good food that is reasonably priced.The decor inside is great and service is very good. Glad we called in when visiting York.

We asked for the meat cooked but it arrived burnt, a shame because the first courses were good. The waiters very attentive. To the final price we must add 12.5% ​​for the service. Expensive final price for the quality of the food

Love this place, good food and lovely staff, well worth a visit 😊👍

Wasn’t the best place to go, I though poor selection on the menu, the food was warm and not hot. Overpriced for what it is. Wont be going back and I would highly recommend eating elsewhere

We took advantage of a free birthday bottle of Prosecco at Bill’s York. It’s one of our favourite restaurant chains and we had a late lunch at this branch after walking the city walls. Service wasn’t as efficient as some other branches, but the food was very good. I had the pancake stack with bacon and my wife had the duck salad. We had a nice table in the window although I think I may have caught the sun as we were sat right in it!

Such an amazing place to visit with family and friends. Definitely try the shawarma with fries!! Perfect for kids too as they had kids eat free

Service was great and whilst very busy only had a brief wait for a table, food also arrived quicker than expected. I suppose if I had one grumble it was the bacon on my brunch breakfast which was undercooked and way too fatty/greasy (for my liking). However, overall a pleasant surprise which my daughter suggested whilst we decided where to go at lunchtime.

The food was great and friendly staffs with great service

The food was lovely,tasty and fresh and at a reasonable price for the type of establishment I'd say it is (abit more upmarket for a fry up🤣) the only thing that let it down and as with many establishments now they tried adding a 12.5% tip. This isn't America it let's the whole place down for me

Foods OK but found the mandatory service charge excessive. Customers will tip based on their experience of the service.

Shared a very nice pizza. Service was a little slow.

I wanted to try a proper full English breakfast, my expectations were suppressed but turns out i was quite pleasantly surprised with the quality of food; and the recommendations (I tried HP sauce on the meat) and affable service made this a 10 out of 10 breakfast experience.

Great breakfast and kids eat free too!

The food was different but was lovely, would definitely go back.

Staff was amazing and food and drinks were perfect!!

Everything was great! Everyone is really kind and the food and drinks are excellent!

Everyone is really kind and the food is great!! The place is really beautiful and clean! I have been a week a York and I went there three times because it was perfect!

Service here is superb! Very kind people and just allround happy 😊. Food was good as well, pancakes were a bit dry though. But tasted wonderfull!

Pleasant but slow service. Burger overdone, pasta dry, eggs undercooked. Then when I went to pay was told my money was not good enough - the only do plastic so will definitely not venture there again.

Had a latte in here a couple days ago with my mates. They all had food. No complaints at all. Service was really good. Had an interesting way to pay as well with the QR code on the table. However, I hope this doesn't start to phase out bar staff in cafes like Wetherspoons did.

Excellent breakfast and lovely place to eat

Overall we had a lovely experience and they were very accommodating and slipped us right in at what seemed to be a busy time. 11.30am. We made it just for the brunch and more menu. The food was really lovely and when something wasn't right (a friends beans had looked they had been very over cooked) they fixed it straight away, a table of a variety of dietary requirements. So they did great. I did think they could have honoured the 20% off as I had mentioned I had signed up for the newsletter but they said you had to wait for the email to come through, which takes a couple of days. However, it would not deter me from coming again and enjoying their delightful food again.

Great meal with our twin Grandaughters. Staff as always very pleasant and attentive, in particular Libby who was very nice.

Service and food very good, unfortunately the temperature in the restaurant was very cold.

Steak cooked perfectly. Friendly, helpful, and attentive staff. Would recommend 👍

Great prices and great food. Friendly staff.

Went here for lunch with my little one . Was seated very quickly and placed drinks order Can’t remember the price exactly but think it was £3.70 for just a can of coke . I took my child to the toilet and when I came back our drinks had been cleared we were quite obviously still sat there as we were waiting for food and our belonging were still there . I asked for another round of drinks just a coke and a juice carton and still charged for both rounds of drinks which I thought was a bit of cheek when we didn’t even drink the first ones . Food was bogstandard probably get better from McDonald’s can’t say I would return here again . Staff were friendly though

Amazing watermelon based Santorini salad - so filling and tasty!

Really beautiful spot. Ordered the feta and squash breakfast, which was nice besides the fact that the roasted squash a tiny bit undercooked and cold :( Other than that I enjoyed it, and the coffee was lovely. Great service as well. Would come again but try something different.

It's cashless.. Need I say more 😤

Fantastic brunch with great service well recommended.

Took my boys for dinner here as we visited on a little break away. Bills is always nice food and 2 of us had eggs Benedict and another had the pancake stack. Food was delicious and service was spot on.

Great service from when we walked in, till we left. Server was polite and efficient. Food was all tasty and well prepared.

Great restaurant, just not enough choice for evening dining. Also could do with more drinks options.

Lovely food, truffle cheese fondue and chicken dumplings were really good. Service was friendly and fast

Delicious food. 12.5% service charge is a bit steep when I ordered the food on the app and not with an actual server.

My visit to Bills was truly delightful! I ordered the chicken shawarma with a side of fries, and it exceeded my expectations. The fries were perfectly crispy, fluffy, and seasoned to perfection. The chicken shawarma was a flavor explosion, with a delicious salad and impeccably seasoned chicken. The garlic flatbreads were soft and beautifully made, and the minty sauce and hummus were fantastic accompaniments. For dessert, I treated myself to the chocolate and caramel tart with coconut ice cream, and it was a heavenly combination. The strawberry margarita I had was also exceptional. The service was top-notch, with attentive staff ensuring a wonderful dining experience. The restaurant's decor was tidy and trendy, creating a cozy atmosphere that added to the overall experience. The menu options were excellent, offering a wide variety of choices to suit different tastes. The total bill for both me and my partner, which included a main, dessert, and alcoholic drink each, along with a 12% service charge, came to £75. Considering the quality of the food and service, I found the price to be quite reasonable. I wouldn't hesitate to visit Bills again. It's a great spot for a delicious meal and a memorable dining experience.

for the bottomless pancakes pls mind that if you want the ice cream on the fruit option they will charge you extra!! very odd because it comes free on the chocolate so 🤔 auto 12.5% service charge is annoying and relatively undeserved

We arrived at 6 for a reservation with a guest in a wheel chair which they had been PRE WARNED about. This then led to us being told to wait outside for 20 MINUTES for them to say they could not do anything about it. This then meant that that specific friend had to eat ON THEIR OWN as we were all told we had to eat on a separate table which was not wheel chair accessible. This meant that they were in one part of the restaurant whilst we were all far away from them. We waited for around 5 minutes before they could take our drink order then another 15 minutes for them to get us our drinks. It took around 40 minutes for our food to come (which we had PRE-ORDERED several weeks before) and a further 30 minutes for mains to come. Overall the food was nice but the service was awful.

canny expensive and a voluntary surcharge that's voluntary added on for you. I really disagree with this. as it forces you to ask to remove it

A good place for brunch, I know it's a chain but the food is really excellent, I love the eggs Benedict. We always have a brunch on Sunday with friends. It's often noisy and sometimes the service is a bit slow but that's to be expected when its always busy.

Quirky fun spot for breakfast. The food was amazing, staff was attentive and helpful, and the atmosphere is just plain fun. We enjoyed it.

Food nice and staff friendly, found portion sizes to have reduced since a visit some time ago and the beer price is ridiculous. Also was charged the ‘optional’ service charge by the waiter with no mention of this, just pressed yes for me on the machine which is a first for me. Based off this experience would not return for evening meal, plenty to choose from in York.

We loved it. It is a predictable format, but that's quite ok. Service was swift and friendly at two consecutive evenings

Loverly breakfast, friendly staff.

Extremely poor service..very noisy but good food

Food was great as always, unfortunately a 35 minute wait for the food was not so good. Perhaps if we had been told about the wait we may tried somewhere else.

I suppose it's the times but when you pay with an app and the the only contact with the staff is short it takes away part of the experience. Good if you're in a rush and you don't have to but it reduces the number of serving staff and not easy to have that connection with them. Pity. Food was OK though.

Loved the food, and the kids eat free during the holidays. Great service. Just a note, the service charge is added to the bill at 12.5%, if you want to change this you need to talk to the staff (potentially awkward!)

Great place to eat and excellent service

Busy day for staff , dealing with customers professionally…breakfast was average… I’ll come back👍🏽

Stopped in for a late snack. Service was excellent and the staff made us feel welcome. Ordered a couple of salads, coffee, and some dessert. The Eton Colada Sundae was very nicely done. Hippy Salad Bowl was tasty and refreshing. Prices were reasonable. What's not to like?

It's alright is Bill's, good grub. I just knock a star off because you need to be wary of the 15% tip that is already included. You do have the option to request this to be removed but I think they play on the fact that you might be too proud to do this. Me and my partner go fairly regularly though in spite of this.
