Went on a busy Tuesday night. Stephanie K gave great service and was attentive. Crabs were excellent. Both of the appetizers (shrimp tacos & eggrolls ) were yummy. We really enjoyed our evening. I’ll definitely be back.

Our waitress. Ashley, I believe, was great! The clam strips were just ok. The cheese burger was good ( the pic is the next day after being refrigerated) as was the crush, many flavors. The atmosphere was quiet for a Friday night however I didn’t mind. Pricing was fair although some items a bit pricey. I didn’t have crabs however my cousins loved them. I would go back!

Wow! We haven’t had steamed crabs in a long time. Mr . Bill’s did not disappoint . We ordered a dozen large. it was $ 115. I have to say they were worth every penny ❤️. We went to Costco and got 100.00 gift cards for 80. So you can save $20!

We had an excellent server named Ashley. She was very busy and stayed very friendly the entire time. I ordered the seafood pasta which was super good. The only issue we had with our food, is that things were missing. My pasta was supposed to have chicken, shrimp and lump crab. It was missing the crab meat, so Ashley sent it back and they added it. Other people at the table, ordered the stuffed salmon. Instead of salmon, they sent rock fish. I’ve never been to a restaurant that does that. Others at the table had very good drinks the first 2x they ordered. After that, they started sending the wrong drinks or drinks that did not taste as they should. So glad i only drink water. Although there were a few issues, i would still go back because
the food was very good.

This was my 2nd visit to Mr. Bill’s. We decide to try a new place out for crabs & overall it was an okay choice. We ordered a dozen and 1/2 of medium crabs (I believe male) & corn. The crabs came out streaming hot and ready to eat but we did have to let them cool down a bit first. They were a nice size, heavy, and thoroughly seasoned. Some of them did look a little unappealing and seemed burnt (black in color) but when we opened them they were okay. I did like the seasoning in the crabs at Mr. Bills a lot more than other places I’ve tried. They don’t use the large crystal rock salt and it also has somewhat of a tang to it which I enjoyed.
We also orders some appetizers: mozzarella sticks, buffalo wings, and cream of crabs soup. Those were all average, not really anything I’d probably order again. The wings were fried first then sauced but majority of them were fried so well done that the meat was a crisp so we didn’t really enjoy that. The soup was okay, but it was salty & not as thick/ creamy as I would have liked.
Overall I’d rate the experience a 7/10, but I would do back for crabs.

I finally made it here to try the crabby corn and it was tasty, however, I wish it were done with the traditional cobb corn versus the small ears they serve. It would take that dish to another level for sure and make it a little more worth the price. The steamed crabs were tasty and meaty for mediums, and I don’t usually go for males but it’s what most restaurants tend to serve…and the seasoning is perfection. My only sigh is the butter. They use table butter which hardens at room temperature. I really wish they had the liquid butter other seafood spots use that doesn’t harden and does better for dipping. I definitely overall enjoyed my visit and would absolutely visit again.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Mr. Bill’s Terrace Inn, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. From the moment I entered the restaurant until the time I left, everything exceeded my expectations.
The ambiance of Mr. Bill’s Terrace Inn is inviting and charming, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere. The staff members were incredibly friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. Their professionalism and genuine care for the guests made me feel welcomed and valued throughout my visit.
Now, let’s talk about the food. I ordered a dozen and a half Maryland blue crabs, and they were simply outstanding. The crabs were cooked to perfection, and each one was meaty, succulent, and bursting with flavor. The seasoning was just right, allowing the natural sweetness of the crab meat to shine through. It was an absolute delight cracking open those delicious crustaceans and savoring every bite.
Though the cost of my meal came to $156 dollars with tip, it was worth every penny. The quality and freshness of the ingredients were apparent, and the portion size was generous. Additionally, the menu offered a diverse range of options to cater to different tastes and preferences.
The service at Mr. Bill’s Terrace Inn was impeccable. The waitstaff ensured that I had everything I needed throughout the meal, and they promptly addressed any requests or inquiries I had. The attention to detail and their commitment to providing an exceptional dining experience were truly commendable.
I would highly recommend Mr. Bill’s Terrace Inn to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. Whether you’re a seafood lover or seeking a cozy and inviting atmosphere, this restaurant is sure to impress. While the price may be on the higher side, the quality, taste, and service justify every dollar spent.
Mr. Bill’s Terrace Inn has become one of my top recommendations, and I look forward to my next visit.

Me and my family really enjoyed our dinner at Mr. Bill’s. We arrived on a Tuesday sometime between 5 and 6pm. When we walked in it was not crowded at all. The crowd came a little later. We were greeted several times upon arrival and our server Tina was very friendly and attentive. We thoroughly enjoyed the bone in and boneless wings, the crabcake eggrolls, the Buffalo shrimp tacos and the steamed crabs…omg…the crabs were delicious. My mom and I split a dozen of the large ($105 dozen). When the crabs came out they were piping hot, delicious and huge!! I couldn’t even finish 6….maybe it was because of all the yummy food I ate before the crabs. I will definitely back!!! Mr. Bill’s did not disappoint!

The atmosphere is amazing. We love watching football games at BTI!! I would highly recommend the Eastern Avenue egg rolls and the honey old bay wings. My family also enjoys sitting in the dining room where we get the best server, Tina!! She will make sure you get the best crabs no matter what.

It’s a little tacky in here. I’mma be honest they were gnats flying around. The food was like a 2/10….heard the crabs were good, but I wasn’t in the mood for crabs plus they were very very expensive like 120 for a dozen of large…Just ridiculousness! The appetizers were actually good but the main course I really could’ve skipped my daughter did not like how her food tasted and instead of them being decent and taking a food back or offering to bring something else or at least discounting the food. the manager was very adamant that this has been their policy since however, many years ago and apparently they don’t give a crap if you don’t like what they cook they’re gonna make you pay for it, and I don’t really like that as an as a business and as a establishment. I basically said those exact words out of my mouth, and the manager said right! She wholeheartedly agreed with what I just said about them not caring about their customers and whether or not you like what it is you order off the menu. Long story short, we will not be returning to this place the lack of his way up and the love for customers is way down! As a matter of fact, the manager was more interested in taking shots with I guess some of her more preferred customers then she was interested in making sure that we were happy
