****A cut above the rest. -Great and consistent food -genuinely attentive and warm service making you feel right at home. Many ingredients are organic—not because it’s a selling point, but simply because that’s how they do things. The flavors feel more like homemade Greek cooking than typical restaurant fare.

They really need to improve their quality of the Italian beef. Definitely not up to standard. The bread wasn't very good, way too much juice on the bread and the meat lacks flavor.

Billy's is a hidden gem. Vienna Beef Hall of Fame level Chicago Dog standards executed perfectly, and a whole lot of custom fresh option entres too.Decor and cleanliness had me taken aback and confused. This is not your greasy sticky hotdog hole in the wall I've come to accept after decades of Vienna Beef dives around the city. Spic and span dining room and kitchen, everything fresh and clean and cared for. Spices and fresh ingredients. Adorable Easter decor blended with the expected Bears and Bulls posters. Italian beef perfectly seasoned on a fresh roll, not too soggy and not too dry, topped with your choice of sweet or spicy peppers. Chicago dog is the classic I expected, not trying anything special that would screw it up, with a crisp half spear pickle. Fries are perfect crinkle cut, with an extra starchy crunch and not greasy.For anyone comparing and complaining about prices, realize that everyon'e ingredient costs have jumped significantly in the last few years. Yeah it feels 'crazy' to spend $5 on a hot dog and $10 on a beef. But the option is to either pay what you were used to and accept a cut in size, quality of the ingredients and prep details, or pay up for quality food. Everyone's just passing on the cost. Go eat a cheaper bland meal somewhere else.A must stop. I would eat a dog here every day if I could, and just might.

Just went today for the first time and have to say it is the best grilled & spicy grilled chicken & avacado sandwiches in the area. Going to make this a regular place now. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I love this place they have a great gyro and Italian beef. Though recently I went in and I ordered a side of onion rings. For 6.50$ I was expecting a basket of them but I got 5 onion rings FIVE! 1.30$ per onion ring is insane and they weren’t even fresh home made they are just frozen.
