Fast paced, noisy, delicious food. One great choice for having a brunch in a weekend. Ordered two benedictions and one banana french toast with roasted walnut. The black coffee is refillable, cream on the table. Polite and friendly staff and the price was really reasonable for the dish they serve. Also consider a 20-30 minutes wait before getting inside. They will write your name and call you at the parking lot.

Popular breakfast and brunch spot that has Benedicts worth considering. Denver omelet was good but I loved the crab cake Benedict! Hash browns were nice and crisp. Coffee was hot and tasty. Great service too!

A short wait to get in on Saturday. But it was definitely worth it. Our server Sierra was absolutely wonderful. I had breakfast and the sausage patty was delicious. Everything was great.

We love coming to Bill's for brunch -- food is always delicious, both the sweet and savory options. It's quickly become a go-to, especially since we can bring our dog with us and dine on the large patio! Staff are friendly and attentive. Would highly recommend! This review was made in connection with a Toast promotion.

Bills Cafe in San Jose is an easy 5 stars. The food is delicious, portions are generous, and the prices are very reasonable. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive—they kept our coffee topped off the entire time, which was much appreciated. The standout dishes for us were the chorizo scramble, Bill’s Original Skillet, and the fried chicken Benedict. All were well-seasoned, flavorful, and packed with ingredients. I’m usually a hash-brown person, but I’ve got to say their country-style potatoes are the better choice here—crispy, hearty, and super satisfying. A great spot for a fulfilling breakfast or brunch!

I used to go to the Willow Glen original Bill's restaurant starting late 80's. Breakfast was excellent. Today I accidentally found that they have expanded to many locations. Breakfast food was still good. Management remains the same, a 3-brother family owned business.

First time here. Loved the breakfast, everything was excellent. Coffee was amazing. I say this because coffee isn't always very good at diners. I look forward to eating here again. I knocked one star off the service because it was minimal. Took order, delivered food and brought check. Still friendly though.

Amazing brunch place. The California style Egg Benedict were simply delicious. The has brown was well seasoned and crunchy. The Salsa Mexican Omelette was delicious as well. Loved the Mexican latte. Definitely worth a visit. The ambience was good and the server was courteous.

First, I like to say the music selection was awesome. I seat danced the entire time. Every plate was delicious! Not one disappointment in the bunch. I enjoyed a vegetarian omelette with smoke salmon. Someone tried the Banana French Toast and declared that we would be returning. Even the traditional French Toast was excellent. No matter what requests were asked, we were well served. Definitely, will be back!

It’s a nice spot for brunch, though I wish their menu included calorie counts. I do appreciate their system of letting you join the waitlist and sending a text when your table is ready, it shows they value their customers.

In A Nutshell: -Another good meal at another Bill's location. -I was able to figure out a cool hack. -If you order the build your own omelette, you get to pick 5 toppings. -If you love steak, why not order that omelette w/ 5x the amount of tri-tip?! -Their system allows for this which is great, but you can just order 3x tri-tip, bell peppers & sausage like I did. -Their mimosas are good, but I am not sure they should be advertised as "giant fish bowls" bc the glass isnt that big. Overall, I enjoyed the meal & service I received at this location.

Service was great, polite and fast! People there were friendly, even other customers. Atmosphere was welcoming. I hadnt had eggs benedict in years so thought id have that. They have a cute section with about 4 or 5 types of benedict call benediction. I was however a little disappointed. Oureggs on both orders were cooked to long. Werent runny at all so that took away some of the flavor you get from the egg. And the hashbrowns were not preferred. They were to soft, mushy, and not much flavor.

Honest review, overhyped. Server forgot about our table a lot and couldn't remember what we asked for. Food was super over-seasoned, if that could have ever been a thing. Taste was good but confusing at the same time. Lastly, for all the gluten free people, there is nothing here. I tried.

I’ve heard so much hype about Bill’s Cafe, so I decided to finally check it out. Honestly, I’m not sure if it was just an off day, or if my expectations were too high, but my experience was very average. The place itself felt pretty standard nothing really stood out in terms of ambiance or service. I’ve definitely been to diners that had more personality and better food. What really threw me off, though, was the orange juice I ordered it came with living flies inside. That was a big turn-off and I had to send it back. All in all, it was a very normal diner experience for me, if not a bit disappointing considering the buzz around it. Maybe others had better luck, but personally, I’ve had much better meals and cleaner service elsewhere.

I've been here a couple times now and while the food is good I can't help feeling that for the money you could make all the dishes at home and they would be just as good. It's a good option for brunch out when you don't want to clean up a mess but I don't expect anything all that special here.

I came here because I loved pancakes in Hawaii and they had a Hawaiian option. But I didn’t expect that the banana, nuts etc would be inside the pancake. It was also way too sweet, and dry. The ones in Hawaii had a coconut cream on the side which you can add as per your level of sweet preference. California omelet was 3/5, nothing special, not enough veggies, cheese overload. Have had much better. They didn’t tell us coffee would be charged before serving it. We don’t even drink expresso! T The expression server was super efficient always coming to check if we needed anything!

This was our first time here and we were disappointed. Service was great but the food was not good. Lox’s bagel was terrible. For $24 we had to assemble the bagel ourselves and given packaged cream cheese. We also order the fried chicken Benedict and it just tasted so bland. The hash browns were bland and potatoes were bland. I would not have been as frustrated if it wasn’t as expensive and as long of wait to get seated. Seemed like they were just trying to handle the sheer amount of people by getting food out as quickly as possible but unfortunately lost the quality. Truly not worth it.

My friend and I ordered the Mexicano Benedict, specifically because it included pork carnitas, which we were really looking forward to. However, when the dish arrived, it didn’t taste like carnitas at all. We later realized that the restaurant had changed the meat in the dish without informing us—no one mentioned the substitution, and the menu still listed carnitas. We were disappointed, especially because the flavor we were expecting was a big part of why we chose the dish. It would have been appreciated if the staff had let us know about the change ahead of time so we could have made an informed choice.

We were so excited to go because so many people recommended. First. My fiancé had her yams not cooked with there special: then I had a hair in my hash browns. On top of that no discount and paid full price. Our waitress is was very nice though. We did let her know about the food and she let her manager know. Unfortunately we will not be back.

I used to love going here, but the service that I experienced today was subpar. I had kindly asked for a smaller portion of the food and before I could even provide my medical card for the reason for requesting for a smaller amount of food, the waitress interrupts and says “No, I could get fired for this” and decides to not even hear me out. I eventually ordered a mini portion, which worked out fine, but the waitress didn’t give me the time to explain that I just had surgery and I am unable to eat a normal size portion. I didnt argue and just wanted to enjoy my meal. Giving feedback to the team maybe hear your customers out first before saying no or provide a solution.
