For over 50 years, Bill’s Grill<\/a> has been a beloved American restaurant in Wilson, NC, proudly serving generations of families with home-cooked meals made from cherished recipes. Our journey began with founder Bill Hayes, who envisioned a place where the community could come together over hearty, flavorful dishes. His vision was simple yet powerful: to create a family-friendly restaurant that celebrated classic American dining with a personal touch.<\/p>

In 2006, Randy Jenkins took over the restaurant, bringing with him a renewed dedication to quality and community spirit. The Jenkins family has since continued the legacy that Bill Hayes began, making Bill’s Grill not just a restaurant, but a staple in the Wilson, NC community. By 2016, Randy’s son, Will, expanded our reach by opening a second location, Bill’s Grill on Nash. Today, our newest location in Fremont, NC continues the tradition, bringing Bill’s Grill hospitality and home-cooked classics to even more of Eastern North Carolina.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t
