Yesterday my dining partner and I decided to try a second burger place that finished in the top 6 for the WIP burger hunt. This time it was a local establishment very close to our home in West Chester. We have gone to Billy's Burgers many times before our weight loss, but have stayed away probably purposely during that time since. But we had to try it in an effort to determine our favorite burger.
Billy's is a small "mom and pop" establishment on Five Points Road in West Chester just off of Rte 3. When you see how hard these people try, you are really pulling for them, but today's effort wasn't great for them.
We both ordered the Billy's burger with cheese. Mine of course was my preferred cheddar and I had fried onions as well. The burger is reasonably priced with cheese at $6.45. The burger was cooked nicely, but since it is a smaller thinner burger, it was not to my liking since it was served medium/well. Also, a miss in my opinion was that the edges of the burger as well as the roll were burnt slightly. This was a real shame because Billy's has a terrific hamburger roll.
Before the burgers arrived, we ordered beer battered onion rings ($4.65) which were good, but I thought the batter was a little thick for the amount of onion inside. The horseradish sauce that accompanied the rings helped, but again the breading was a bit too much in this case.
Unique to Billy's is the fact that Billy's wife Sally is a baker and has an excellent selection of cupcakes, cookie bars and other goodies. My companion chose a coconut cupcake while I had a chocolate coconut bar which was probably the best part of yesterday's experience. This was delicious.
Lunch for 2 was around $28 and the establishment prefers cash, but will still accept a card.
Overall 2.75 brownies.
