There are a few solid places to get a good burger in Prescott, but fewer worthy veggie burgers at the local restaurants. PBC has had my favorite version, but the still relatively new Bill's Grill is giving it a run for its money! We've been frequenting Bill's Grill since it opened; it has quickly become a local go-to for us.Top five favorite things about Bill's Grill, in no particular order:
- There are THREE veggie burger options! Only one (the Boca burger) is vegan, but the black bean chipotle patty is dairy-free (not vegan because of a small amount of egg present) and delicious. I tend to go for that one; it is very flavorful and the texture is perfect.
- Aside from pre-selected burger concoctions you can order, the menu features a "build your own" system which has tons of toppings to choose from for your burger. Onion straws, crimini mushrooms, avocado and pepperocini/banana peppers get my vote! And, the barbeque and buffalo sauces are great. Those toppings, a black bean burger and a multigrain bun are my standard order:
- Three words: sweet potato fries. Enough said.
- If you're opting for meat, Bill's Grill offers locally raised beef - a great, clean option!
- The selection of craft beers on draght is fantastic. I especially recommend the Breckenridge Vanilla Porter, a brew from Colorado. It's easily one of my absolute favorite beers.
I have yet to try a beef burger there, but hear only great things. Bill's Grill also has seafood options (seared Ahi tuna, and recently salmon as well) and bakes their own buns (including a multigrain and a recently added gluten free bun) - bonus points for that.They also have daily/weekly specials - including red meat, chicken, seafood and/or veggie-centric options - and deserve creative props for thinking outside of the box. On a recent lunch date there with friends, one decided to go for the special at the time - the "Luther Vandross" - which included bacon, cheese and doughnuts in place of a regular bun. I did not try it, but E. who ordered it did enjoy it!:
I really admire and appreciate what Bill's Grill is putting out there. They're all about good food made with fresh ingredients, offer tremendous variety to keep customers interested, and aren't overly expensive. I like the fact that they have plenty of healthier offerings as well as some off-the-wall indulgences - there's something for everyone!
