I've been to Bills Cafe many times but the most recent time was this past Easter Sunday. We visited…read moreearly in the morning where there was no wait time and my party of 4 was sat right away. Shortly after, we were greeted and waters were brought. Drink ordered were placed soon after. After reviewing the menu and made up our minds, our food order was placed as well. Food was served, enjoyed with the family. I ordered the crab cake Benedict with my Paloma mimosa. The other plates in my table consisted of the country fried steak and chilaquiles which were both great and enjoyed. We had our table our chit chat, ordered pancakes for dessert and overall we enjoyed the environment, speed of food being served and attentive service provided by the restaurant servers.

Luckily no wait at 10am on a Sunday, but there was a substantial line around 11am. There's an…read moreindoor area along with a covered "outside" area. Pretty small inside where you can hear the conversation of people next to you, but definitely feels homey. Service was attentive and standard for a traditional breakfast spot. We got the buttermilk pancakes and steak ranchero omelette. The pancakes were soft and fluffy. The omelette had decent chunks of cubed steak inside, and was fairly large. The salsa they added and maybe leftover moisture from the omelette components did make it a bit runny/soggy. Hash browns were decently crispy. Not a bad spot if you're in a rush for breakfast. I'd probably prefer Denica's.

This was my first time at this Pleasanton location of Denica's kitchen…read more Great staff. Amazing space. Love the booth seating. And of course, the food is delicious. I got my go-to Roma Paris. (Delish! Especially if you love pesto). Also tried those giant cinnamon rolls. So worth it! But needed to be shared with at least one or two other persons. It's that huge! Haha. And ordered Bella's strawberry waffle. Fluffy and crispy. Always go to their refillable coffee station, and chip-salsa station. The chips & salsa are for free, including the spa-like water station. Can't wait to come back here again. Denica's the best!

The cashier, the waitress, bussers, the preps in the back all friendly. Oh the complimentary chips, salsa and Jamaica is amazing and delicious! Minus 2 stars because the older Hispanic looking lady with glasses is so rude and shouldn't be working up front with her negative vibes. We were watching how beautiful the kitchen plates their food. And me and my family love to make French toast and enjoyed the Ube French toast more because it's made with cinnamon bread. We were wondering what brand they used. That lady came over to us asking can she help us and asked what we were looking at. Geez lady it's an open kitchen can't we enjoy the view. Since she came over to us my sweet niece asked what brand of bread do they used for their French toast?? Isn't this a compliment?? Shees my family lives in Monterey and are not planning on opening a breakfast spot anytime soon LOL! She was straight rude gatekeeping and walked away with no reply hella rude and embarrassing you treat my niece like that! WTH we spend tons of money there and you can't even reply back kindly or with grace!! Keep that energy in the back or outside the door lady! Is it that serious and to treat your customers like they don't matter when we are the reason you're getting a pay check!! Denica I hope you read this I wonder if the other reviews from customer about the lady upfront is the same one we all are talking about??? To all the other customers who wonder what their delicious bread they use for the Ube French toast it's from a local bakery in alameda SemiFreddis cinnamon twist bread! Lady you should be grateful they are your suppliers and share the love! 2 stars took away only because the lady was rude no smile and messes up the good vibes and experience at Denica's!

The food was delicious and the staff was fast efficient and friendly.

I had the burger and fries and both were perfectly cooked and tasty. I'd go again anytime.

On the positive, the portions are big and the staff are AWESOME. My two best friends and I walked in for Saturday brunch-- no wait. We were greeted warmly by our waiter, who was fastidiously attentive to us throughout our meal. A++++ on hospitality. Our orders were out in 20 mins. CHICKEN AND WAFFLE BENEDICT: Half waffle with kinda sad soggy seemingly pre-frozen tenders on top ;u; Benedict was fine. Hash was... Hash. IDK if it's inflation or what but I don't remember their chicken and waffle options being so depressing.

Generally, breakfast is not my fave meal but will indulge in a Benedict or open to a place offering breakfast AND lunch options. It's been awhile visiting Jim's Country Style Restaurant and was reminded of their wonderful French toast! Light, fluffy, custardy brioche deliciousness. And they do their hash browns right as I'm a self declared potato connoisseur....perfectly crisp exterior and softness inside. Check! Staff friendly, welcoming and definitely the neighborhood spot with the regulars. You can tell by the positivity and familiar conversation. I believe one of the owners served us and with down-home hospitality! Loved it! Located in the same shopping center as Raley's Plaza with plenty of lot parking. Highly recommend for some good food and service.

My biggest complaint was about the wait time to get a table for two on a farmers market Sunday. I see the reason why they were busy but we were quoted 20-30 mts and got seated an hour later! We'll definitely come back (need to try the French toast and the waffles) but plan better next time I guess.

Food was delish, venue is nice (and big), service was ok…read more Everything went fine for my side of the table... the other side ... not so much. Not sure if it was the kitchen or the server but they got it all wrong. 1) Mocha arrived the table late and did not have whipped cream as requested - then we asked if it was decaffeinated and the lady could not confirm... so they said they would make another. 2) Once again it did not have whipped cream. 3) their breakfast order was incorrect over easy eggs (they ordered scrambled) and hash browns (they ordered skillet potatoes) I ordered Chicken Fried Steak and it was good. Cooked well, ratio even, and gravy was super flavorful. Over medium eggs were also cooked perfectly (all white cooked with runny center). I also substituted the toast for a single Lemon Ricotta Pancake - that was also very good! The lemon curd was a great addition!!! The portions are large and quite expensive... so you may want to consider to share a meal. Street parking is limited... so be prepared to drive around to look for a spot. 4 stars instead of 5 ... But like I said - we had a great experience, my brother... not so much. Would I go back? Yes.

The place seems to be popular. It was very busy and crowded, and the tables are very close together. If noise is an issue, this is not a place to go. They have tv sets all over, which I personally find irritating, but that is a personal pet peeve of mine. The real issue for me was a large party that came in and sat next to us. They had a large dog with them, which apparently was allowed, and we were sitting indoors. I didn't see a service dog vest on the dog. If the dog wasn't in fact a service dog, this establishment broke a California health code. I hope I am mistaken. I love pets like anyone else, but I believe in limitations.

The wait to order wasn't too long, maybe 15 minutes? While you wait, you pass by a display of cookies and they even have samples out for everyone to try. The staff was very nice, even though they were super busy! We tried: - Free chips & salsa: These are a must everytime I visit denica's. They are a great snack while you wait for your meal. 9/10 - The ube pancakes: These were pretty solid. I didn't think that the pancakes themselves had a very strong ube flavor, if any. I think all of the flavor was in the ube coconut sauce that they come with. However, there is only sauce on the first layer so you might want to get extra! It is an additional $2.75 or so to get the extra side of ube sauce, though. The pancakes themselves could have been a little more moist and fluffy, as they were a bit dry and dense. I loved the fruit and sauce, so that definitely made up for it! I'm glad that I got to try, but I don't think I'd get them again. Instead, I would get a regular pancake and a side of the ube coconut cream! 8/10 - The chorizo burrito: My bf said that this was also a pretty good option. He thought that it could have been a bit more flavorful, but was still satisfied with his meal! 7.5/10 - The side of hash browns: These were good, as to be expected! The portion was a bit small in comparison to other diners in the area. 7.5/10 Overall, I always enjoy my experiences at denica's! The vibes are always there, and they are such a convenient place to grab breakfast or brunch.
