Bill’s Dips - Review - Cherrywood - Austin - The Infatuation

"Bill’s Dips is the answer to “What if Bill’s Oyster…didn’t sell oysters?” Instead of seafood, this food truck offshoot has burgers, chicken sandwiches, tenders, and dipped ice cream. The burger is similar to the one you know and love at the Downtown brick-and-mortar—the bun is a little less pressed here, and this one is available as a single instead of a default double—but the highlight is the massive fried chicken sandwich that hangs off both sides of the bun. It’s tender, juicy, and served with housemade ranch. Bill’s Dips is located at a pickleball court in Cherrywood, but thankfully you don’t have to be athletic or even know what a pickleball is to eat here. Food Rundown Bill's Burger This is a textbook smashburger, with a thin, griddled patty and all of the classic burger toppings—cheese, tomato, red onions, and special sauce. It’s a single by default, but the thin patty benefits from making it a double. If you’re a fan of smashburgers, you’ll like this. Just don’t expect any wild cards. photo credit: RICHARD CASTEEL Fried Chicken Sandwich Here’s the MVP. The crispy chicken thigh is so big it struggles to stay on the tiny potato roll it's wedged inside of. You can get it plain or dressed in a few different sauces—we like the honey barbecue that adds a tangy sweetness. photo credit: RICHARD CASTEEL Loaded Fries Bill’s makes good fries—they’re cut into thick chips that give them plenty of crispy surface area. If you order them loaded, they come topped with chili, queso, sour cream, and jalapeños. That's a lot of wet ingredients, but they’re tasty as long as you eat them before they get too soggy. photo credit: RICHARD CASTEEL Chocolate Dipped Soft Serve Think Dairy Queen, but better. The vanilla soft serve is creamy, and the thick layer of hardened chocolate adds a great crunch. Bill’s is worth visiting for this alone. photo credit: RICHARD CASTEEL" - Nicolai McCrary
