Bill’s Café

My favorite breakfast spot in the Bay Area. I’ve been here at least a dozen times and I would recommend getting the eggs Benedict. Big hint* You can mix and match two! Be prepared for long waits during rush hour and although the parking is a decent size it always seems to be full. Food and Service can be inconsistent at times but usually hits the mark 4 out of 5 times.

Everybody loves Bill’s!
A Santa Clara/​San Jose favorite, this place is ALWAYS packed. The homey, diner-​like feel to the place leaves Denny’s and IHOP in the dust! Their menu is quite extensive, so there’s bound to be something for everyone to enjoy! Be prepared to wait as parking is minimal and there is always a line.
My favorite thing to order is the crab cake Benedict, but all the eggs Benedict are delicious! Order the country potatoes as your side, they’re well-​seasoned with a bit of a kick! However, I wasn’t a huge fan of the chicken salad sandwich; it was quite dry. It came with a soup and my choice of side (potato salad). The potato salad was really yummy!
Service is always on point here. I can’t come here a lot because I would be tempted to get everything unhealthy. You know this place is famous when you see people from different countries with different accents coming in to try this place!
One of the best brunch places to go to in the Bay Area!

This is my fav place to have breakfast ! Their mimosa, the first thing in the morning of a weekend is definitely a good way to start the weekend. But please be sure you dint have to drive after that: D
I do go there often inspite of the long waiting line always. They have good speaker installed outside where they announce the names and also some seating arrangement in the patio. Now you have good idea about how regular and long waits they do have.
But their mimosa is one of the best I ever had and the breakfast is good too. Tried their mushroom benedict and omelettes since I dont eat meat but pretty sure they have good non veg breakfast too.
They also have a sister branch in other locations but I like this one the most. It has good ambiance too. Little noisy and busy though.

Overall A-​OK experience. Some points:
— I had a reservation for a large group at 9am (weekday). There was some mix up and we weren’t seated until 9:25.
— Our orders came out pretty quickly! Service was great — coffee was filled every time I looked down — but they forgot to bring out a few side items for members of my party.
— My first eggs benedict: absolute perfection.
— My second eggs benedict: over-​poached :(Happened to someone else’s order too…
— Huge fan of the chicken apple sausage!!!
Maybe not the best place for big groups? But if you’re a breakfast lover, this is usually a pretty solid place. Breakfast is definitely not the most important meal of the day for me, so maybe there’s a bias. I’m a little sad about my Portobello Benedict though.

I guess you can say this is my favorite breakfast café. I love going here when I have the time in the morning. The wait can get awfully long if you come at the wrong time, with the wait time comes terrible parking.
The atmosphere feels like a diner where all the workers are always in a rush from a movie scene. Even though they seem like they are trying their best to keep moving, they are always so sweet and tactful.
The food is always delicious, but in the morning I always want some thing the fills me up. I can’t really order my favorite Benedict because the portion isn’t as filling as I’d like it to be. In those instances where I don’t want to be stuffed up, I definitely go for the Benedict.
What’s a morning breakfast with friends if you don’t have some mimosas. Bills Café mimosas are very tasteful. You’ll find me eating the strawberries before I end up actually drinking the mimosa. It’s a wonderful place if you want breakfast after flying in from the airport. One of my little gems in San Jose.

This place serves the best cocktails and has delicious breakfast options.
If you can get there just before 9, you won’t find a line. But after 9 be prepared to wait. But the wait is totally worth your while.

Bills is a wonderful family style restaurant. All of the staff will take great care of you. I’ve never had anything that I didn’t enjoy.
My only small complaint is that the «outdoor «seating has plastic furniture. I always wait for indoor seating because I don’t enjoy that picnic feeling.

Bill’s Café tends to be one of the first places which comes to mind whenever I want to have brunch with friends or family.
My typical orders are either the Hawaiian Pancakes or the Frosted Strawberry Pancakes. They are definitely some of the more unique pancake variants around the valley. While you can always opt for a short or a full stack (ie 2 or 3 pancakes) when you order, their food is filling regardless of what you order. Another great thing is their large menu. If you tend to be like my friends and I, our brunch time usually creeps into lunch time. So if you don’t feel like eating breakfast food during lunch, their large menu will cater to that as well.
The biggest downside side is the wait times. Given Bill’s Café’s increasing popularity, wait times tend to be outright ridiculous at times. These wait times add major strain inside where one can expect slow service. The smaller nature of the location means it also tends to get loud inside.
Bill’s Café has definitely made a name for itself in the valley with its six locations. They offer great breakfast and brunch along with a variety of lunch options. This is a place I would recommend to anyone, but maybe not for large groups. The wait times and loud environment might be a turnoff for some.
TL;DR
Pros
— Large Menu
— Good Food
Cons
— Long Wait Time
— Slow Service

My go to breakfast place but crazy busy always. You should go here before 9 in weekend.
They have free coffee at waiting room so you can enjoy it. The trick is if you get the free coffee and bring it to the table, it’s free but if you order coffee at table, it’s charged. So don’t forget to get coffee at the waiting room.
If it’s weekday, I order half egg Benedict. It’s one Benedict and great portion.
I always think American breakfast is too big for myself and need to share or bring back.
Recommended ones are egg Benedict, waffle. I love egg Benedict here I tried crab Benedict and Cali Benedict too but egg one is the best.
Waffle is crispy and good. A little too big though.

I love Bill’s, as do most all of my friends. This is a great place for brunch, with a variety of great American breakfast foods (Belgian waffles!) and other diner faire. They also have a full bar, and the menu features their «famous» cocktails which deserve their fame.
My favorites are obviously the breakfast foods, but there’s also other classic American options here and I’m told they’re as good as the breakfast.
The big downside to this place is it’s own popularity. If you’re doing weekend brunch, be prepared for a wait — it could be an hour or more. As a result of their popularity, the service can be a bit slow and it’s loud inside. I like the food enough to forgive these traits though.

Food is below average. Service is very slow. Definitely NOT worth the wait.
I ordered a country fried steak and over medium eggs with hash brown and biscuits (~$ 14). Eggs were still runny and definitely not over medium. The hash brown was oily and not well cooked. The biscuits were nasty. The steak itself is okay.
I came here a bit before 8 am on Saturday. There are still some tables empty and I got a seat at the counter right away. But the service is already very slow.

A must stop for BRUNCH LOVERS!
I never heard of this place before and just simply tagged along some people to go eat brunch! And I’m really glad I went!
Because it was good !!
* I’ve never been to a brunch café that had a separate section for their brunch alcoholic beverages menu! LOL and it seemed like about 80% of the customers have ordered it at 9:00 in the MORNING!
* didn’t know what to order. Go with the classic every brunch menu items or… Somehow search through the menu to pick what I would want.
I decided to search through Unilocal to see what other fellow Unilocalers Unilocaled onto Unilocal!Haha
We saw that most people posted
— banana French toast
— crab cake egg Benedict
And that’s what my friend and I ordered!
That’s two dishes and amazingly without asking the server, the café brought out the entrees already split in half on separate plates! WOW!!! That’s four heavy plates for the restaurants to handle and wash, but without request they brought it out for us separately! That kind of customer service requires an extra star!

TL; DR: Classic American brunch joint with a California twist.
Anyone who has been in the South Bay for any length of time has heard about Bill’s. The location on The Alameda is just a stone’s throw away from the 880. The place is packed on weekends, most likely with patrons from the nearby hotels. Go on a weekday morning that isn’t a holiday, and you’ll be able to easily score a table.
The menu is truly extensive, featuring everything from the classic eggs/​sausage/​toast to ridiculous things such as cinnamon roll french toast (literally a cinnamon roll that has been dipped in french toast batter and cooked like normal french toast). There are even some «healthier» choices, but on a brunch day I’d always eschew those choices for a hearty scramble or omelet.
I’ve had a great impression from the few visits I’ve made so far, and I’m excited to come back and eat my way through more of the menu.

Needed a quick breakfast since I just landed from a flight to San Jose.
The place was packed in the morning! Obviously because of breakfast, but the wait wasn’t that long. About 10 – 15 minutes. People was just coming in and out the door. Definitely a break fast place to be!
I ordered the eggs Benedict which was terrifying…
How did they make something so basic… taste so damn good!

3÷17÷16: Another one of those crazy crowded places where after you’ve eaten your fill you’re left with a lingering question, «…why…»
If I remember correctly it took them 15min to even come by our table to ask what we wanted to drink. Then another 15min or so to get our order after that. Come on… and then the food…
1. Coffee $ 2.49
2. Bill’s Famous Bloody Mary $ 6.50: Don’t you love it when everyone thinks their food is «famous!?» Well, anyway, no… it ain’t famous, and it ain’t even great. Decent yes, but nothing special. Good flavor, but not great. Texture was okay, but typical. Nothing worth getting excited over. ⁵⁄₁₀
3. Bill’s Famous Mimosa $ 6.99: Now… this one has more potential. I didn’t have a sip of my friend’s but it does at least look pretty impressive. Huge margarita style cup. Floating slices of strawberries. Nice vibrant bright yellow color. If it tastes as good as it looks, well, still not «famous”-level but at least could be good.
4. Corned Beef Hash and Eggs $ 10.79: Not my order, but I had a bite… and we unanimously thought this was horrible. Well, I mean, it was okay, but the hash was clearly canned. Same crap you buy from the grocery store reheated. Same crap they serve in elementary schools country-​wide. Same crap your mom heated up when she was tired from a day of hard work. For a breakfast-​specialty place, this was pretty much unallowable, against-the-[restaurant]-law. ²⁄₁₀
5. Strawberry Waffle $ 9.99: Pretty standard. Thick standard-​tasting waffle. Strawberries and whipped cream. Overpriced for such a simple and unremarkable preparation. ⁵⁄₁₀
6. Country Fried Steak and Eggs $ 13.50: Mixed here. The fried steak was actually REALLY good! I’ve had quite a few over my life, and this one was one of the better ones for sure. Nice and thick, and very meaty tasting, yet tender. Coating wasn’t the very best, but it was good enough. But I really loved the meat they used. The gravy was pretty good too – nice meaty flavor. Lots of places have crappy country gravy that’s almost just flour water, but this one was pretty good. Biscuits were standard but fine. ⁸⁄₁₀
6b. Hash Browns: Now we get to the mixed part… hash browns sucked. Outside was over browned and didn’t have that crunchy light taste of the best browns. Well heck, forget «light and crunchy” – the crunch wasn’t even existent. Even tasty a bit burnt. For a specialty place I would expect better. Edible but not good. ³⁄₁₀
6c. 3 Eggs (Scrambled): Ewwwwwwwwwww… wow, now these are some of the worst scrambled eggs I’ve had from a breakfast specialty place. No effort at all to make them fluffy. Like eating lead. And there’s A LOT of it. Says 3 eggs, but could have been more cause it was just a mound of yellow protein really. Even my friends said it was way overcooked and disgusting. ¹⁄₁₀
So, yeah, the country fried steak itself was badass, but everything that you’d assume would be basic for a breakfast place was pretty bad. I wouldn’t come back.

My ultimate favorite breakfast place in San Jose. Been going here since I was young. On weekends, you gotta get there before 9AM or else you’re facing a long wait. But if you catch the crowd, try and opt for counter seating.
Parking lot is very small, but you can park on the street.
When you finally sit down, service is very fast. Food is served in less than 10 minutes almost all the time.
I’m an eggs kind of girl, and the eggs here never fail. I always get the scramble or Benedict. My personal favorite is the Crab Cakes Benedict. Add a mimosa on top, and you have the best breakfast.

I mean, been to one, been to them all? The menus are all the same as the multiple Bill’s. They still offered free coffee in the front for those waiting. And most likely, if you come for breakfast/​lunch on a weekend you’ll be waiting.
It’s not as nice as the Los Gatos location for the waiting area.
The guy in front taking names was super nice and on point.
Our party of 6 had a 45 minute wait on a Sunday after 1:30PM.
Mimosas are always on point.
I decided for the El Paso Benedict today. Changed it last minute from the Crab Cake Benedict.
As always, it was fulfilling.
Everyone left satisfied.

I mean 4.99.
Pancakes were good, including the buckwheat (those are hard to make). Unusual variety of omelets; all I tasted were very well done. I’m fussy about omelets, because some folks cook them too fast and scorch the eggs– ugh.
The standouts: World’s greatest hash browns– soft texture inside with the flavor of fresh potatoes (because they are), and perfect crunch on the outside. This is a simple dish that’s easy to mess up, but their chefs have it nailed. They even provide the local (from Gilroy), flavorful hot sauce, Pepper Plant. This is the perfect accompaniment to the hash browns. Also tried several egg dishes, including the crab cakes benedict. Beautiful! Again, great texture and flavor of the crab cakes. Get the orange juice– you can watch it being fresh-​squeezed. Add the nice personality of the waitresses, the cleanliness, the obvious pride in their work that everyone has, and you’re in «5» territory. Brew a different coffee and it will be a perfect «5»!

Great atmosphere, friendly people and a nice variety of brunch food! Coffee available while you wait (which there will be on the weekend). Small private parking lot with chairs and a PA system to call names. Bar seating area also with TV.
We tried:
Bread Pudding French Toast– also comes with eggs and choice of meat! This dish was pretty disappointing– it was very dry, and didn’t seem like a French toast at all
Crab Cakes Benedict– loved this dish! The crab cakes were delicious and the egg was cooked perfectly.
Fitness Group Omelette– egg whites with turkey sausage, avocados, mushrooms and tomatoes. This was a safe choice.
The Crab Cake Benedicts were great and omelettes are solid. The Bread Pudding French Toast was a disappointment.

3.5 stars.
Being recent transplants from Portland we were eager to explore the Breakfast and Brunch scene here in San Jose. We had heard a lot about this place and had food here the first chance we got.
We ordered the Crab Benedict and the California omelette. The Benedict was good and we enjoyed it but the California omelette was very underwhelming.
The freshly squeezed orange juice was also good. We might give it another try given the recommendations we got.

Came in with the bf for breakfast today, and it was very busy. For a party of 2, we were quoted a 45 minute wait. We decided to wait for open seating at the counter and we only had to wait for 15 minutes (win!).
We wanted to share the chorizo omelette and strawberry belgian waffle. So we asked for an extra plate to share. When our food came out, our entrees were split on individual plates for our convenience (win!).
The food came out within 10 – 15 minutes & was so good! The server refilled our coffees without asking, and was overall very attentive to our needs (win!)
We will be back, and definitely recommend Bill’s!

Had a blast here! We came here with a party of five. A couple of us arrived about an 45 minutes before the others, so we ordered a bloody mary at the bar, followed by a michelada. I can’t even remember the bloody mary. The michelada was delicious and strong, topped with a tequila floater. By the time they called our name, our full party had arrived luckily, since the whole party has to be there before seating. We sat in a the covered patio area.
The menu is overwhelming. For someone like me who is indecisive and then full of food envy after I order, I didn’t know what to do. I ended up going with an omelet to play it safe. I had the ABC, avocado, bacon, and cheese. I couldn’t decide on home fries or hash browns, so they gave me half and half!
Fun vibe, good service, and good food. This is definitely my Bill’s of choice, and I’ll be back!

I’ve been here twice & I’m always drawn to their Bread Pudding French Toast. If you’re hungry, you’ll be happy with this dish as the Bread Pudding French Toast comes with 2 eggs prepared any style & choice of bacon or sausage all for $ 11.50! I got the scrambled eggs & bacon as my sides & dipped the bacon in the French Toast syrup of a nice savory sweet bite. The French Toast (3 pieces) is topped with gridded bananas which adds a nice light flavor as the Bread Pudding French Toast is kinda heavy. My bf helped me finish my French toast after he ate his tuna sandwich (which came with potato salad) and cup of soup.
Great prices, friendly service & good food keep this place pretty full. The location is close to the highway & they have a good sized parking lot.

Decided to give this place a try after finding it on Unilocal and reading the amazing reviews.
The service was pretty awesome, it’s nice to see wait staff who seem to enjoy their work. I like how they also offer free coffee to customers while they wait for a table. The wait was approx 30mins even when we were quoted for 45, so that was pretty awesome.
I tried their Irish coffee (I’m not a fan but that’s a personal preference) and the strawberry krisp pancakes (not sure if that was the actual name) but it’s fresh strawberries and cereal mixed into the pancakes and while it may seem a little weird it’s actually pretty damn good. My friend ordered the banana french toast which was a little sweet for me but it’s pretty good, he seemed to enjoy it.
I’d def be back in the future for more :)

Bills Café is really really good! I just needed to get extra hollandaise sauce for my eggs Bennie and hot giggity gew! It was amazing.
Gunna try their crab Bennie next time but wow. Totally changed my POV of this place.

I’m back in San Jose for three weeks and my first stop after arriving was Bill’s Café. I normally go to the Bascom location but went to the Alameda one for the first time.
There seems to be very little difference in the two locations, and that’s a good thing because the food and friendliness of staff can’t be beat at both places.
I always start with a Bloody Mary and usually get a Benedict, but today I got the croissant cordon blue – another excellent choice. Flaky croissant topped with ham, Swiss cheese, fluffy scrambled eggs and hollandaise. A winner.
The only con is that now I have to make a decision on which one to frequent.

This is an update to my previous review. After leaving a review for my not-​too-​happy takeout experience at Bill’s, one of the owners – George reached out to me on Unilocal,asking me to try Bill’s again with a friend for dine-​in and offered to pick up the check.
We went again the next morning. And the experience was indeed much better. The waitress was attentive, even before I showed her George’s message to me and told her the reason why we dined there again. Then George showed up, introduced himself to us and made sure that everything was good. He also ordered a banana pudding on the house for us to taste. My friend really liked how his food tasted while I really liked the banana pudding.
For what’s it worth, I always think that as long as the owner cares about customer feedback and react accordingly, the business is always promising.
And, the banana pudding is a must try if you go to Bill’s!

Super cute café with a small bar in the middle. It gave me an oldies diner vibe with the booths.
This café is incredibly busy, but the service was still attentive and fast. I came here for Sunday brunch with my parents and they asked for coffee. Immediately, another waiter came up to our table and poured coffee for them. I was impressed. Our food arrived fairly quickly as well. Prices are decent and the portion sizes will definitely make you full (or more than full).
I ordered the French Toast Special with scrambled eggs and three sausages. The food tasted okay for me, not amazing. I did like that I got three sausages, while other brunch places give me two sausages (EVERY SAUSAGE COUNTS). I also noticed they give you a huge amount of butter and syrup on the side (HOORAY FOR MY UNHEALTHY DECISIONS). I’m quite picky with orange juice, but I loved their orange juice! It was freshly squeezed and sweet, but not too sweet or sour.
Although the food tasted alright for me, Bill’s Café is still great for brunch and offers several options! I definitely want to come back and try more of their well known items on the menu.

I wished they opened a Bill’s Café closer to Oakland cuz then I would have an excuse to eat breakfast everyday! :)
Pros:
— The wait is not as atrocious as other brunch places (estimate: ~30mins). They even provide free coffee to those waiting in line. Also, they have a speaker to call out the names of those waiting in line so you do not need to constantly check on the list.
— Crab Cakes Benedict and Bread Pudding French Toast lived up to its hype. Crab Cakes were surprisingly flavorful and its crispyness contrasted with the english muffin quite well. Eggs were runny and was what I expected from my eggs benedict.
–Bread Pudding french toast was dense (as it is baked) and took french toast game to a new level. (Was it the best french toast I had in my life? No– but I recommend it as there were so many different layers of flavor– walnuts/​raisins, fried banana, bread pudding sauce). Nice to have a sweet portion to the meal after the eggs benedict.
— ~Cute diner feel with the booths~
Cons:
–Although our server checked up on us, expect service to be quick as they are extremely busy (nothing surprising).
— Country potatoes were just eh, nothing spectacular and portion size was quite small.
Verdict: Will be back if I am in the South Bay for brunch. One of the better brunch places I have been to in a while.

Pretty much everyone that I know has been to Bill’s Café. It’s that popular of a place, I’ve been here before and the service/​food is always consistent. I’m a huge fan of Bill’s and always will be. This place brings a lot of memories and it’s definitely a staple in my breakfast spots.
I came here around 10 AM and expected the place to be packed as always. Well, I was not wrong and we had to wait ~20 min to be seated for a table of four. Not a problem, since we all knew it was worth the wait. Our waiter was very friendly and helpful. She gave us enough time to choose out the things we wanted off the menu. I decided to get the veggie skillet with some sourdough toast. Pancakes are a must if I visit Bill’s, so I got an order of buttermilk pancakes. The food was brought out quickly, I was surprised since it was packed and noisy.
The pancakes were very tasty and definitely were buttery. They were absolutely filling and rich. Veggie skillet was on point, the veggies were fresh and the hash browns on it were crispy and tasteful. Eggs were cooked well and the sliced avocado made the dish. Overall the dish was good and was somewhat healthy.
Service once again was top notch and friendly. The waiter brought a smile and a good vibe. One of the few reasons that I will be always coming back to Bill’s. You can expect good service and great quality food. Expect a line in the weekends and some holidays, but once you get in, you’re in for a good tasting meal.

UPDATE
After my first review the business contacted me directly, apologized for my experience and invited me to give it one more chance. Yesterday we had that chance to return once again and I have to admit we had a completely different visit than our previous.
First, I have to say there was never an issue with their service, or the atmosphere, I just didn’t enjoy the food that I had ordered the first two times which were both from the lunch menu. I’m going to have to assume the food I ordered the first time was just my issue because yesterday we ordered two different breakfast items and they were a home run.
I had the Mexicali Eggs Benedict which were absolutely delicious, and my wife had the eggs and Linguica which at first glance looked to match my original assumption (boring) but much to my surprise the Linguica was amazing!
I’m glad the owners care enough about their business to humbly reach out to Unilocalers that may not have had a great experience. New bottom line, I can’t wait to go back and try some more items from the breakfast menu.

Apparently I’ve been living under a rock all these years. Bill’s Café is a well known place by everyone except me. Friends decided to stop by for breakfast food in our fancy outfits after a wedding.
When I browsed the menu, I was in shock. They offer varieties of benedicts… and what? a bar up front that serves mimosas with fresh strawberries??? I was in breakfast heaven!
Shoutout to Veronica C. for posting a picture and description that said «Can’t decide which, so they allow me to split half California club and half crab cake benedict… yum!» So I ordered half crab cake benedict and Cali benedict with potatoes. So this is a PSA to fellow benedict lovers who cannot decided on just one kind: nicely ask your server to split!
Overall it was a great experience. The server was super nice and friendly, the food came out in a timely manner, and the atmosphere is nice.

Delicious and satisfying breakfasts in San Jose.
I wanted to take my mom out for breakfast so we came early on a Sunday and were seated quickly. They served us coffee and orange juice and the orange juice is pretty great. You can tell it was freshly squeezed and it was sweet and refreshing. I ordered the chorizo scramble with a side of hash browns and toast and my mom got the gorgonzola scramble with hash browns and a pancake. The portions are generous and served on large plates. The chorizo scramble was spicy, flavorful, and topped with melted cheese, salsa, and avocado slices. The gorgonzola scramble was packed with spinach and mushrooms and the gorgonzola really came through. The hash browns are great because they are soft on the inside and fried on the outside. The pancake was huge and super fluffy. The pancake could have been plenty by itself.
Overall, I definitely recommend this place. The next time I come here, I want to try the benedicts or the french toast. If you are a fan of crispy has browns, delicious scrambles, and fresh squeezed orange juice, stop by at Bill’s Café.

Absolutely fantastic, I’m so glad I got the chance to pop by! There are like a zillion options on their menu and every single one sounds amazing, so much so that it took forever to actually decide what to eat. I ended up getting the portobello omelet which was super yummy. Loved the little kick from the jalepenos! Roasted potatoes were cooked well, though I wanted some more seasoning on it. Susie, our waitress, also suggested getting a side of Hawaiian pancakes which I graciously took her up on — what the heck, might as well have a pre-​Thanksgiving feast — and omg, it’s probably one of my favorite pancakes ever! I was just such a huge fan of it but too stuffed to finish it all.
I also split the bread pudding French toast with my good friend and geez, that was so good as well! Is there just nothing here that tastes bad? Bread pudding is one of my favorite dessert-​like options and though, this was more bread than pudding, I thought it tasted amazing. The caramelized banana on top was also a huge plus.
The other details besides the food — great service from Susie — she was super nice, gave us great food suggestions, and very quick! It’s a diner type of place but I thought our booth was really comfortable. I loved Bill’s Café, can’t wait to come back!

After our first (and what I thought would be our last) visit to Bill’s, I was suddenly contacted by the owner and after exchanging some pleasantries, I came to the realization that since the owner was so dedicated in ensuring that all of his customers were satisfied, wasn’t it worth giving the food another shot? After all, every restaurant has its off day, right?
So with that in mind, my hubby and I stopped by again for lunch with a clean slate and an empty belly ready to be filled with delicious food. This time, there were still plenty of spots in the parking lot and a table was open as soon as we walked through the door. Instead of dining inside the diner, though, we ate outside in the patio-​like room that was certainly much more comfortable because the tables were larger and the air felt cool.
Remembering my last disappointment with the eggs benedict, I decided to stay clear from the creamy entrée and went for something sweet instead. I got the French Toast Combo with two sunny side eggs and bacon. My hubby ordered the Hash-​brown Skillet with an egg muffin. The waiter who served us was very friendly and cheerful, making for quite the comfortable experience. The employees at Bill’s certainly know how to treat their customers right.
The food came out fairly fast and I immediately felt my mouth water at the sight of those fluffy french toast. Slightly crispy and golden brown, it was practically beckoning me to devour it all in one bite. But wanting to savor what I knew would taste good, I took that first bite and instantly knew coming back to Bill’s was a great idea. They were perfect! I could taste the egg from the custard and when paired with the maple syrup, the toast wonderfully appeased my ever-​needy sweet tooth. The eggs were also cooked just the way I like it, but unfortunately the bacon was a little too tough.
As for my hubby’s dish, the dish was vibrant and colorful with fresh tomatoes and a beautiful, yellow egg sitting on top of a mountain of hash-​browns and bacon. He clearly enjoyed this entrée much more than the last time, noting how flavorful it was. Even though the dish didn’t come with any kind of sauce, the taste of bacon and tomatoes permeated the potatoes beautifully and the yolk added a touch of creaminess as well.
We normally wouldn’t complain about portions sizes, especially when Bill’s is super generous with their food, but considering how much there was, we would have liked just a little less food. Crazy, I know, but by the time I was half-​way through with my four pieces of french toast, I was ready to surrender to the threat of sleep hovering above my head. Prices, of course, are incredibly cheap for what you get, so we would recommend coming to Bill’s on an empty stomach.
My hubby and I are extremely pleased we gave Bill’s Café another chance. It was a great lunch and I’m certain we will be back again soon!

I received a gift card from the owner due to my low rating review for the other Bill’s Café location.
I was very appreciative that the owner reached out to me and allowed me to try Bill’s café one more time.
However, I am unable to raise the stars to 4 stars as much as I want to. I got their famous bread pudding french toast and it was drenched in syrup, imagine eating 5 pieces of banana bread from Starbucks but with a lot of syrup and a fried banana on top. It was just too overpowering and I got sick of the banana taste after eating half. Now the sausage link that I got was just sad sad sad. Dry, no flavor and tasted old. I never tasted sausage link that bad before… :(
So overall, despite given a gift card to try Bill’s one more time I still think it is clearly overhyped and there are better breakfast place out there.
