    We celebrated my mother’s 85th birthday, she enjoys eating crabs-1st time at Bill’s and they did not disappoint. We were a group of (6) hungry persons ready to eat @ 5:30 pm. Service was good but harder to track down waitress as evening continued due to the number of guests. Service was performed as a team with multiple persons- a good idea. Mom loved the crabs and other dishes were very good- seafood, wings, greek salad. The rockfish w/stuffed crabmeat, recommend. Cost- our dinner was seafood and crabs at market, so enjoy yourself. No desert, no room. Thanks for a great evening on a special occasion.

    I’ve been to this establishment two times before but, this was the first time I’ve tried their famous crabs! I ordered a dozen medium crabs with some of their sweet white corn on the cob and it did not disappoint! I was in love with the seasoning because it did not come off as being too salty or too spicy. The crabs were cooked to perfection, heavy and so meaty! I got the pleasure of being serviced by Tina who was very pleasant and attentive. I will be making a trip back to Mr. Bills soon especially with it being football season! The atmosphere in this place on football Sunday was so exhilarating and I can’t wait to experience it again!

    This was our first time here and we were hoping the other reviews were true. They definitely were. The food was very good, we had a wonderful server who took care of our party of 15 and the crabs were fantastic!! We highly recommend Mr. Bill’s.

    The crabs were hot, full and very heavy, best we’ve had this year. Amazing tator tots with crab dip and cheese. Yum! Our waitress was awesome. Although she seemed overwhelmed as the restaurant seemed short staffed. Well worth the hour drive for us.

    Restaurant was nice inside. It had been updated since the last time I had been there years ago. We went for my son’s birthday since there are so many good reviews. They charges $90 for mediums (all they had). Service was lackluster. Our server did not return to our table much but did return to other tables around us. Also threw another server under the bus in front of us while the other server was within earshot. I’ll go somewhere else next time.

    I went to Mr. Bill‘s for my birthday with my family and friends - we had a wonderful experience. The crabs were out of this world! Our server, Stephanie, was super attentive and friendly! Looking forward to our next visit to Mr. Bill’s.
