It also has the best donuts I've ever eaten. They used to sell out by 10:30 on weekends and close up. It was a struggle to get out of bed in time to get in line to grab some.
Also, they make only two kinds of donuts, glazed and glazed with chocolate icing. They are a yeast donut that's fried in something, maybe lard, that makes them really heavy. It's tough to eat more than two. If you like old-school bakery style donuts, they are the best.
EDIT: Just looked at their menu, and they have expanded to a few more varieties.
Bill's is open 24/7 and they shut down for a week during the holidays. There is NEVER not a line. Never. But they get you through in like 5 minutes. It is the Chick-Fil-A of donut service. I would show up when snow plowing all night for my ex-father in law (RIP, Doug) at 4am, and there would be 10 people in line. The great thing is they are ALWAYS making fresh donuts. You never get one that sat for more than a few hours.
I used to take them to ICUs where I was working if I got a call in the middle of the night for the staff that worked third shift. Needless to say, they were always glad to see me.
