What We Serve

Our Menu

From our signature dry-rubbed ribs to smash burgers cooked to order — every dish is built with honest ingredients and real fire.

Signature

Dry-Rubbed BBQ Ribs

St. Louis-cut pork ribs, coated in our house dry rub, slow-smoked for hours until they fall off the bone. Served with our tangy molasses BBQ sauce.

Our #1 seller

Juicy smash burger with lettuce and tomato

Smash Burgers

Thin-pressed beef patties seared on a flat-top grill for a crispy, caramelized crust. American cheese, pickles, grilled onions, and our secret sauce on a toasted brioche bun.

Built to order

Grilled chicken with char marks and sides

Grilled Chicken & Sides

Half or whole chicken marinated in buttermilk and smoked until golden. Paired with our creamy mac & cheese, collard greens, or crispy fries.

Comfort food classic

Hand-Spun Shakes

Thick, creamy shakes made from real vanilla bean ice cream. Choose from chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, or our seasonal peanut butter cup swirl.

Made from scratch

Fresh Garden Salads

Crisp mixed greens topped with grilled chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and crumbled feta. Finished with a light balsamic vinaigrette.

Light & satisfying

New

Loaded Nachos & Apps

Tortilla chips piled high with melted cheddar, jalapeños, black beans, pico de gallo, and sour cream. Also try our crispy onion rings and jalapeño poppers.

Our Story

A Neighborhood Grill That Feels Like Home

Billy's Grill opened its doors on W Columbus Ave with one simple idea: serve honest, flame-grilled food at prices that make sense. What started as a weekend pop-up quickly became the go-to spot for families, neighbors, and anyone who believes a proper burger deserves a proper sear.

Every rib is dry-rubbed by hand each morning. Every patty is pressed thin on the flat-top. We don't freeze, we don't shortcut, and we don't rush — because good food can't be hurried. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite after work or settling in for a long Sunday dinner, you'll always find a warm seat and a full plate at Billy's.

What People Say

Loved by the Neighborhood

"Best ribs in the neighborhood, hands down. The meat just falls off the bone and the dry rub has the perfect amount of heat. My family drives from Englewood just for these."

Maria R.

Regular since 2019

"I bring my out-of-town friends here every time. The smash burger is unreal — crispy edges, juicy center, and those shakes are thick enough to stand a spoon in. Real deal Chicago spot."

James T.

Local foodie

"Finally a grill in Little Village that takes its food seriously without the pretension. The mac and cheese alone is worth the visit. Friendly staff, fair prices, and the atmosphere is always welcoming."
