Located in the trendy Meatpacking District, at 22 Ninth Ave @ W 13th St .,
Bill’s Burger is an instant classic. Their ground beef mix is crafted by none other then the master meat purveyor himself, Pat La Frieda. Let’s face it Pat is a celebrity in the world of burgers and anything coming from him is a huge hit http://www.lafrieda.com/.
Getting back to Bill’s, would I dare say this is the best burger in the city? No, but it is damn good. My favorite burgers are still the Shake Shack’s “Shack Burger” and the Minetta Tavern’s “Black Label Burger” (which is the best burger anywhere, if you can get in or want to cough up $26 bucks for a burger) which are also Pat La Frieda exclusive blends of meat.
That said, at Bill’s they start with a marbled ball of meat and smash it on the grill a la Shake Shack style, then generously season it with salt and pepper. When it is finished cooking it has an awesome crust and it is served on a diner style seeded bun with plain old American Cheese. For those looking for something a little different then the “Bill’s Classic” they have a good choice of burgers on the menu. Next time I’ll be trying the “Bobcat”, which has Mexican Green Chilies and Jack Cheese. I’m not even going to talk about the fries, take a look for your self.
On weekends they are open until 4AM, so after a night of partying you may find yourself eating next to Lindsey Lohan who is trying to beat them on the bill or some regular Joe looking to eat a great burger and have a drink from the finely stocked bar.
I give Bill’s Bar &Burger 4 HAMS. It is a must try.
