In an attempt to become more popular , the restaurant lost contact with its core clientele, resulting in a 2002 bankruptcy filing, after opening 29 restaurants in 54 years.

The Menu

Bill Knapp's featured a menu primarily filled with typical family dining items. The menu included a limited breakfast, sandwiches, baskets, luncheon and dinner plates. A children's menu, featuring meals named for animals, was also offered. Recipes for their fried chicken, bean soup, vegetable soup, onion rings, au gratin potatoes, and chocolate cake (later purchased by Awrey Bakeries) were favorites. A popular dessert was the "Cake Deluxe" (chocolate cake, vanilla ice cream, hot fudge topped with whipped cream. The chain ultimately grew to 69 restaurant located in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, and Florida, and employed a central commissary located in Battle Creek, Michigan. Locations replenished inventory on a daily basis with its own fleet of trucks.

Birthdays

Celebrants at Bill Knapp's were treated to a Bing Crosby recording of "Happy Birthday" played on the restaurant's sound system, with wait staff and other patrons occasionally joining the singing. A "birthday discount" was given as a percentage off the bill based on the celebrant's age; a 100th birthday resulted in a free meal. Wedding anniversaries were also honored with a cake and a Bing Crosby recording of "The Anniversary Song".
