I’ve ordered a California cheese burger medium well, juicy and not dry, the chef cooked exactly how I’ve asked it wasn’t rough and it wasn’t overcooked, I’ve really enjoyed my hamburger it was delicious, the atmosphere was nice and the place was clean, bathrooms tiny but clean, good quality food, fresh.
A great little place with good comfort food at good prices! It has an authentic historic Pub ambiance. Very cozy and welcoming. Friendly staff. I ordered the crabcake entree and found it a tastey dish. I could tell the mixed vegetables were got in fresh and prepared, peeled, and chopped by hand. Also ordered was the fish and chips. In-house prepared beer batter on fish was very good. Nice flakey cut of fish as well. French fries house cut also. I very much enjoyed my visit and will now be returning often!
Bill's Olde Tavern is a gem for a casual, convenient lunch spot between NYC and Philly. The staff is consistently friendly and accommodating, making everyone feel welcome. The tavern itself isn’t glamorous—which is part of its charm—but it offers a versatile menu that pleased our whole group. Classic pub fare tasted fresh and satisfying, and the location is very convenient, just a short distance from the train. Perfect for a laid-back meet-up with family, friends, or colleagues!
Always a great experience at Bill’s. The food was hot and delicious, the Service was excellent (my server Brett was so kind and attentive and made sure everyone was taken care of) and the atmosphere was so fun. I came in for a meal and I ended up playing trivia and really enjoying myself. Love it here!
Phenomenal food, excellent service, and a clean and unpretentious atmosphere. Every detail of our experience exceeded our expectations. We will definitely be back.

Everything here was fine except pricing difference from online happy hour menu to what we were charged at location. When we questioned , we were told the online version is old . Please verify this. Thanks.
The brisket tacos on taco Tuesday 🌮 are incredible. 10/10 my compliments to the chef. Staff is attentive and quick A haven for good times and great memories
Great food for a reasonable price. I have never had a bad meal. My favorites are the boneless wings, their fries, the French onion soup, and the prime burger. The jambalaya is fantastic too! The staff is friendly and welcoming.
