Tired of overpriced tourist town restaurant food? Barpa Bill's has a limited but good menu of burgers, souvlaki and the best fries in town, all done Greek style. The place is the size of a broom closet,with counter seating or take out. The lamb burger is fab. Cash only. A favorite among locals.

If you are hungry and want to eat without having to go through the motions of being seated at table, waited on, etc then this is the place to go. The burgers are gorgeous and I would definately recommend them although the donair kebab was not to my taste. I was expecting to get a donner kebab similar to those... More

Awesome hot, fresh and tasty food! Heavy on the onions, so beware if you don't like your Greek food that way.

Small little store front with excellent Greek food cooked by a wonderful and welcoming Greek owner. Enjoyed the conversation with him as much as the food. Great Calamari and Souvlaki. Spanokopita was light and flaky. Terrific flavors. Lots of garlic. The baklava needed to be warmed or at least room temperature. It left a little to be desired served straight... More

i have gone here numerous times as a local and have not been satisfied. i have been served a raw burger, uncooked fries, and one time saw a mouse run across my feet in the bathroom. after leaving the bathroom found mouse poop on the floor. DO NOT EAT HERE. THERE IS A REASON THE PRICES ARE LOW

As a local, I go to Barpa's for reliably delicious burgers and home-cut fries. The place is tiny, so it's best to get take out. Your order is thrown on the grill when you make it, so be patient! The tzatziki sauce on the Barpa Burger is mouthwatering. One side of fries will feed two people! This is a great... More

This place was great. It is very small, but there are places to sit around the counter. The souvlaki and Donairs were really great. We had lamb both times we ate there and it was excellent. We split an order of fries which was plenty for two people. If you are on a budget, this is the place to go!... More
