I would much rather go to Eagan's if I am near one. I live close to Napavine and we used to drive to Rochester when they had an Eagan's there, drive right past Bill and Bea's or go to Harold's when they were there. I wish we had more burger selections in the twin city area. It's just the overall flavor of the hamburgers there that isn't as good some other places.

We ordered fish and chips and clam strips baskets. I order fish and chips at any location that has it as its one of my favorite meal "treats" when I dine out. While fish and chips have a relatively simple flavor profile it does mean that the emphasis on the meal needs to be on its execution. For me I rate said meal on the amount and size of the fish/price point followed by how crispy the batter comes out versus the soft flakiness of the fish inside and then followed by the chips and the tartar sauce. At bill and beas they really nailed it. For 15 bucks you get 3 pieces of fish that is fried very well. The batter is not soggy but deliciously crisp while the fish meat inside is tender, juicy and lovely. For the fries you get a decent portion amount lightly seasoned(so not super salty). I would have preferred slightly crisper fries but I MUST emphasize that this is a personal preference and NOT a failing on how the establishment prepares the food. Some people like a softer fry as its easier to chew for those with sensitive teeth. What really impressed me was the brightness of the tartar sauce. Without enough pickle its just mayo with no taste and the point, I believe, of the tartar sauce is the balance out what is historically a greasier dish (again, not a failing on the establishment but a practical fact of the meal of choice). I believe its important to note that this is NOT a fast food restaurant. All their meals are prepared fresh and this is distinctly important as bill and beas is a cozy little place on the edge a major small town street. They have covered outdoor dining as well as a couple in door tables. I found the prices incredibly reasonable especially as a basic fish and chips meal anywhere else with 3 pieces of fish would cost you 20 or more for the same amount of food. My partner had the clam strips basket and while he would have preferred more of a clam flavor this, again, was largely just a preference and not at all indicative of the preparation as he also mentioned that the clam strips has a delightful crunch that wasn't to hard but instead uniform throughout the entire bite. He also said the generosity of the serving of strips was almost comparable to the amount of fries he had and was pleasantly surprised by the amount of the strips given the 13 dollar price point. In all we both highly recommend that you do not pass this space by and consider it for your next lunch time meal

Great place to get a burger fires and a milkshake. prices are comparable, but the food beats the other places big plus is the super friendly young lady was the topping on the shake. 💯 recommend.
This our family go-to for real hamburgers and tatertots. They also make yummy shakes! Service is great most of the time and they do get slammed with 2 drive-in windows and a counter with little room inside. But they never disappoint!
Parking: Parking lot is small- not a lot of room if you had a trailer or bigger rig.
Just ordered 1 Burger and 2 fries for pick up. They confirmed the order and said it would be 15 minutes- all fine so far. Get there to pick up and pay $19 for 1 burger and (i thought) 2 fries. Thought that was a bit pricey, but all good. Got home and realized they only gave us 1 fry. Call to get it taken care of and they tell me I only ordered 1 fry. So if you want to get ripped off- come here!
