Billy's Burgers And - Hobart

Not impressed with the menu and couldn’t even eat there.

I've been to Billy a lot. There are not many vegan options (two burgers, pommes, loaded pommes), but the vegan options are consistently delicious. I usually have the Char Siew, which is a beautiful, decadent, mock meat option, which is a pleasant change from the Veggie Burger usually at non-vegan Burger joints.

There are really only two vegan options, a fake pork burger from soya and a mushroom burger. There are also potato chips and a vegan “loaded chips” option. Nothing special, but a good option when eating with Omnis.

I have visited Billy's many times. While there aren't a lot of vegan choices (only two burger options, fries, and loaded fries), the ones they do have are always tasty. My favorite is the char siew, a flavorful and indulgent mock meat dish that offers a nice alternative to the typical veggie burger found at non-vegan burger spots.

The service at this restaurant was disappointing. I went for lunch on a quiet afternoon, but the young waiter in his 20s who took my order was very rude. He made me wait 20 minutes, and I noticed my food sitting under the heating lamp while he was busy on his phone. When I asked if that was my food, he dismissively replied that he was busy. Throughout my meal, he continually stared at me and made loud, aggressive noises while clearing other tables. I understand that this is a burger joint, not a high-end restaurant, but I don't think I deserved to be stared at and made to feel uncomfortable just to receive my food while it was still hot.
