    Got the Meat Lovers Omelette with pancake for extra $3. It also came with crispy hashbrown. Pretty big sized omelette with bacon, sausage, ham, Jack and cheddar cheese. Had mostly ham. Lots of cheese. Could use some salt even though it had a lot of ingredients that are usually salty. The pancake was almost as big as the plate and quite thick. Good pancake. Fluffy. I enjoyed the pancake more than the omelette. Also tried the Steak Ranchero omelette with tri tip and covered with salsa. Came with fruits and choice of toast. This was just ok. Food came out so quickly. Staff were pretty nice but they kept forgetting the drinks. Had to remind the staff twice. Nice dining area.

    Eggs and Sausage, cooked just right

    This particular Bill's is my favorite location. The staff is the sweetest. The menu is your classic breakfast items. The food tastes clean and better then the average breakfast spot. Their drinks are all a hit here. They look good from what I can see. They close at 3 and I'm not a day drinker, so I'll never know how good their michelada is... I'm eyeing it and wish I could try it. The coffee is typical diner coffee, their orange juice is freshly squeezed, and I first discovered pepper plant hot sauce here (you gotta ask for it, and I recommend you do!) Long waits on weekends but weekdays are chiller. This is a great classic breakfast spot. Comforting and delicious.

    Tucked in strip mall. Plenty of parking here. We went pretty late on a Sunday- about 2.30. Got a seat right away Ordered crab cake Benedict - the crab cakes were so crispy! The hollandaise sauce perfect! The house potatoes were good too. Also got the buttermilk pancakes - comes with butter and syrup. Perfect sweetness Friend got chocolate chip pancakes Also don't forget the freshly squeezed orange juice?!

    I came here for brunch on a weekend and was pleasantly surprised that we got seated pretty quickly. I've heard there's usually a long wait, but joining the waitlist ahead of time helped. I ordered the chorizo omelette and it had great flavor. The hash browns were a standout -- incredibly crispy. Portions are huge for the price, so it felt very affordable and filling. Service was very friendly and attentive, which made the whole experience even better. I know they have several locations, and this one seems a bit nicer compared to others. Overall a great brunch spot that I'd come back to.

    Wanted to try this location again, we were greeted and were also given a free able outside right away. As we sat outside there was a distinct smell of garbage that would come and go, now I can not say where the smell came from and I am NOT saying that it came from Bill's Cafe but nevertheless the smell was bad enough to make me ask if we could sit inside. After being seated inside wifey ordered a coffee "that she never got and was charged for" Wifey and I both ordered the French Dip sandwich which came with 2 sides, I got their home country style potatoes and the lemon soup. The run down: The lemon soup was ok but IMO they use way too much salt 2 stars. Country potatoes: Bland,bland,bland seriously like no flavor, no salt. 1.5 stars. French Dip: Consisted of a big loaf of bread, cheese and sliced meat. If it wasn't for the au jus the sandwich would have been flavorless. Final notes: about 2 hours later I tasted the food again "if you know what I mean" Unfortunately the whole experience this time was sub par.

    SJ must visit! Food is always amazing and comfy. Friendly staff that makes me feel welcome. I love getting brunch there to start my weekend. This location is very spacious with lots of table. It's clean and well managed. 100000/10 will return.

    Country scramble.
    Denny L.

    Awesome breakfast with a buddy! Service was awesome and our coffees were always full! I had the country scramble and it was really good. Fresh biscuits, sausage patties were homemade, and overall a hardy meal on a cold morning! Bills is always a solid choice for breakfast!

    "The food at Bill's Cafe was wonderful! There was plenty on everyone's plates. For breakfast this morning, we ordered great choices like Eggs Benedict, Chilaquiles, and a variety of pancakes. Fun Hawaiian pancakes and Cookies & Cream pancakes for dessert! Our server, Reyna, was fantastic and super attentive. Our drinks were always full, and she brought all the little extras with a big smile. The restaurant is very clean, the booths are comfortable and the tables are nice and spacious. Well done, Bill's Cafe

    Kids meal - sausage (being eaten), potatoes and eggs.

    Stopped here on a whim after an event we had nearby and I'm so glad we did!!! The reviews weee spot on - this place is a great stop for lunch!! Parking was plentiful as it's nestled near a big parking lot. We arrived and there was a QR code to put your name on the waitlist. I was surprised as it was past the busy rush hour time! We waited maybe 5-10 min. We were seated outdoors but given a choice which was nice. They had heated patio so we stayed warm. Our server Claudia was super nice and such a joy to have as a server. It was super kid friendly as they had paper and crayons for the kids to occupy them! The kids meals were pretty generous too. And I LOVED my meal of a hash brown skillet - super delicious! And best part they are super generous with their bread... each meal came with 2 pieces of bread! I loved that they had different options: whole wheat, white and sourdough. We tried them all All in all 5/5 for a great American diner breakfast/lunch place!

    Here on a Saturday around 10AM. QR code to check in or do it online before you get there. When we checked in, there were 8 parties in front of us. We waited maybe 15 minutes which wasn't too bad. They have inside and outside seating. We sat inside. They have a large menu, I had a hard time deciding what to try. I ended up getting the crab cake Benedict. Thought about getting the half order but ended up getting the regular size and was so full and couldn't finish. I enjoyed it. I would get it again. Everyone enjoyed their meal. They told us 15 minutes to get our food but it was faster. They asked if we wanted butter on the toast which is great to prompt us since one of us doesn't like butter and we forget sometimes to ask for it that way. Also when adding avocado they let us know it was an extra charge. Good service except my husband had to ask for water refill twice.

    Crab Cakes Benedict
    Priyanka N.

    This spot has always been my go-to breakfast option because of their Crab Cake Benedict's! They have many more breakfast dishes that are great but the Crab Cake Benes are my favorite. Service is great with the friendly staff and the ambiance is lively with the feel of a diner hustle and bustle which I enjoy. Taste, Quantity and Quality: 5/5 crab cakes have a crispy and crunchy outer batter, and moist crab mixture in the center. The eggs are cooked just right and the Hollandaise sauce is made to perfection! They have cracked the code for this dish! Like I said, this place is my go-to breakfast spot and it is mainly because this is the only dish I get and absolutely love! Each plate comes with 2 Crab Cake Benes with your option of hash browns, French Fries, Country Potatoes, or Fresh Fruit. I do love having a bite of my hash browns with the Bene! They have a mini option where they give you 1 Bene with a side. Staff and ambiance: 5/5 everyone here is so friendly and welcoming! Price: $17.50, pre-tax, for two Crab Cake Benedicts (also perfect for sharing!!)

    Mexicano Omelette
    Sriharsha A.

    Came here for brunch and it was busy, with about a 10 minute wait. The Mexicano omelet was pretty basic and nothing special, while the veggie skillet was decent but had way too much asparagus for my taste. I'd definitely recommend upgrading the toast to pancakes. The cinnamon pancake was amazing, though the strawberry one was just okay. The avocados on a couple of dishes weren't fresh, and the coffee was your standard diner style. I also got a dirty spoon. Portions felt small for the price, but the service was cheerful and efficient, with plenty of coffee and water refills. The space itself is simple diner seating and not particularly memorable. Overall, I'd say it's a step up from Denny's or IHOP, but there are plenty of better brunch spots to try in the area.

    Chicken Cordon Bleu Omelette
    Mayra D.

    Can we just say DELICIOUS!? We were greeted as soon as we came in through the doors with such a warm welcome from the staff and we were also seated right away. We had their NEW SPECIALS 1- Sweet Potato Benedict was to die for, I almost licked the plate clean. Hollindase sauce has a nice kick to it (Gluten Free item) 2- chicken Cordon Bleu Omelette was pretty good but could use a little bit more flavor (Gluten Free Option) 3- Dubai Chocolate Pancakes, were "ok" I wish there was more to them like the pistachio cream with Kataife in the middle between the 2 pancakes but kids were excited to eat them. Always delicious to go to breakfast at Bills cafe, the service and food are always delicious. Manager also came to our table to make sure everything was okay and checking in and re filled our coffee or coffee cups are never EVER empty at Bills.

    Do you serve gluten-free breads, gluten-free pancakes or gluten-free waffles or French toast?

    No we do not at this time, but we will considered serving gluten free products on the future.

    Do they the mini breakfast options at this location?

    Yes they do!

    Is the patio dog friendly?

    Yes -- been to both Stevens Creek and Palo Alto locations several times over the last several months (the latter this morning!) and both have had dogs (not this morning, however; I'm guessing the dogs like to take advantage of DST ending).

French onion soup burger ($13.5)- Really tasty burger. I loved that they asked how well you want it cooked... That's a sign of a good patty. The French onion dip was pretty unique and gave it a ton of extra flavor tho it makes the patty a little bit. Next time I'll try a burger where I can fully taste the quality of the patty. Piri piri chicken bow ($15)l- Chicken was ok. Got a nice lil grill but could be more tender. I think it's breast tho so prob healthier. The rest of the bowl included purple rice, some greens, tomatoes, pickled veggies. All in all it was a solid bowl. The orange sauce on top looked promising not it was a lil bland. The cool part is that they have a pretty large list of free condiments. I tried the sweet chili aoili, charred jalapeno aioli, and the Meyer lemon aioli. Both were great as extra sauces in the chicken bowl. Overall, pretty solid spot and they got a decent selection of beers with their inhouse beers only goin for 7 bux! Will def be back for another burger

The floor plan of the restaurants a little weird it's very easy to get in peoples way and with service people hustling and bustling around it felt difficult to get around easily. It also wasn't obvious where the front of the restaurant was. There's an entrance from the parking area and then there's a entrance from the main street. There's really no podium or anything to approach. The bathrooms are very out-of-the-way, but also a little difficult to get to. There were a lot of life-size human posters that made it a little difficult to get to the bathrooms themselves. The outdoor patio area looked absolutely amazing and spacious. I definitely would recommend if you need space for a big group to meet up to come here. Ordered: Corn hash eggs, Benedict This came with two eggs, Benedict hashbrowns on an English muffin with corn beef. The corn beef was very disappointing. The eggs were delicious. The hollandaise sauce was amazing. It was just that beef that was really low quality and low Vibin. I would definitely order something else next time. Unfortunately, the quality of the corn has beef and the odd floor plan made me give it three out of five stars. I think there are other country inns that I would rather go to. Recommend for big groups if you're not really looking for a fabulous meal.

Even with a baby in tow, the staff was super friendly and accommodating, bringing hot water super quickly for warming a bottle and carefully selecting seating that accommodated our stroller. The menu is relatively small, but also very diverse with a variety of protein options and some vegetarian selections. Since it's served tapas/family style, you get to try a ton of the menu. Everything we had was delicious and very balanced. Even with a super low spice tolerance, the heat in all the dishes was not just tolerable, but even delicious. I think the dish I'd most recommend is the pork shank. Everything about it was super surprising and incredibly delicious. It literally fell off the bone and had a ton of texture with a melty, tender inside and a sticky, crunchy exterior. I would eat just this for a whole meal! Despite my own dislike for goat, even the goat empanadas were good and managed to convince me I don't actually hate all goat meat! Much like the menu, the ambiance is perfectly balanced, perfect for a romantic date night, a business meeting and even for a friend/family dinner. I'd highly recommend Valley Goat for anyone, for any occasion.

    My BIL came with his groomsmen to Valley Goat during this bachelor party weekend mid-March and…read moreliked it so much that he wanted to bring my sister (and me) there the next time they were in the Bay. His group absolutely loved the goat empanadas, the disco fries, and the pork shank. My sister and BIL were in town again in mid-July so I made a reservation on OpenTable (easy with one week in advance). We were seated at one of the booths and service was... a little odd. We never got a "Welcome to Valley Goat, have you been here before?" or any explanation about the menu. We sort of knew what to order because of my BIL but it was notably weird. Service that day was impersonal and the main reason why I've downgraded one star. BIL said that he had better service with the bachelor party in March - the server back then had thoroughly explained the menu and was great about everything until things got a bit busier later and they had to wait a long time for the check. However, despite the weird service, the food was so good that I brought some of my local friends the following weekend - and this time, we did not make a reservation and decided to walk in and sit at the bar. Big shout out to Jonathan, Roy, Erica and Nick who took good care of us at the bar! At one point in our meal, they noticed we were waiting for our last two dishes for a while and I overheard them talking about going to check on those plates, and sure enough they appeared shortly after. We never waited long after drinks were finished before they checked in if we wanted anything else. Food: Disco fries ($25) were fire - loved the combination of savory / creamy / pickled items. Would definitely order again. Sticky pork shank ($59) - the number one reason I wanted to bring my friends here because I knew they would be as impressed as I was. With the $59 price tag, it's a little hefty but absolutely worth it. Meat slides right off the bones, sauces are fantastic, pickled cucumber salad and pluot salad add a nice counterbalance to the meat... the only thing I would like more of is the lettuce pieces so I can make my own lettuce wraps! Chickpea fritters ($21) - one of my faves other than the pork shank. Loved the crisp textures and flavors. Goat empanadas ($20) - delicious and one of my BIL's favorite dishes. That limey huacatay sauce appears on several menu items and stands out each time - can't go wrong with it! Less impressive: sautéed green beans ($20) were not worth the money and were too salty, and the kalbi ($45) was fine and didn't stand out like the other dishes. Sort of a run-of-the-mill kalbi. Drinks: drinks were definitely on the pricier side but all very tasty! I was actually most impressed by one of their mocktails - the Temple Fizz ($16). Mocktails are weird in that some bars will increase the price to an unreasonable amount, but I think it's genuinely deserved here. The Temple Fizz had complex notes that had me sipping like I would any other cocktail, rather than guzzling it down like a soda. Jonathan mentioned that their mocktails are super popular as well, and I think that speaks strongly to their mocktail selection. Overall, I would keep coming back and sitting at the bar. Food and drinks are fantastic!

    Final Thoughts: 4.20/5.0…read more Contrary to many other opinions, I personally really like brunch. It really is more for the vibes and spending time with my friends and family versus the food sometimes. For some reason, this place has always been on my list of to-go brunch places, but I've just never had the chance to go here. After our matcha run, my friend and I decided to go here for brunch. It was around a 45 minute wait today. On their Yelp, appears to be quite the quaint place to to get food and relax. Will definitely be a 4 star for me. Food: Jumbo Crab Bene with seasonal fruit: 4.0/5 This is their fresh lump crab with sliced avocado, whole grain mustard and poached eggs stacked on lightly toasted English muffins, topped with scratch made Hollandaise sauce and garnished with locally sourced microgreens. This is served with either house potatoes or seasonal fruits. The lump crab is actually fresh crab I believe. There are some pieces of the shell that were still in there. I'm honestly not even mad because that's a pretty big indicator that it's the fresh crab meat picked out. The egg is nicely poached with a runny yolk. Hollandaise sauce is quite nice and light. The Dijon mustard was quite strong for me and did overwhelm some of the other flavors on the plate. It does add a nice flavor, but occasionally, it was too much. For the English muffin, it was quite thick, so it felt kind of dry. It's noted to be slightly toasted, but its somewhat hard to tell with the mustard, crab meat, and poached egg on top, which are mainly wet items. Avocado is perfectly ripe. I'm not an avocado person, but this one did it just right for me. The fruits came with blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, apples, cantaloupe, and honeydew. Very refreshing and needed after the savory foods. Philly Steak Sandwich with garlic fries: 4.0/5 This sandwich has grilled steak with peppers, onions, and mushrooms topped with provolone cheese on a toasted baguette with mayo and a light teriyaki drizzle. Will come with either a side of house salad or garlic fries. I really liked how they caramelized the onions and peppers inside of this. There's that additional sweetness from it that works well with the steak and cheese. Very tender meat. The bread also seemed kind of big and just almost dry too. Not too big of a concern given the amount of filling that they give. My friend choose the garlic fries and those were amazing. The cut is just right and the crisp on the outside is just so good. You can taste the garlic, but I could do with even more garlic to it. --------- Quality: Fresh Something I really like is that they use real crab in their jumbo crab bene. You can actually feel the tiny pieces of the shell in it, which usually means its fresh. The food did take a second to come out, but both were piping hot. My friends onions and veggies were quite caramelized, which is nice. Brings out a lot of the flavor component in the sandwich. The fries were actually so good too. I wanted the side of garli fries, but it was convenient that his came with it. Super crispy, nice size, flavor is good. May need a little more fresh garlic, but overall, really good. Price: Reasonable Prices seem reasonable for what they give. Initially, it does lean more on the expensive side, but their portion sizes are larger than your average brunch place. Prices will range from between $18 to $24, with a few outliers. Service: Very sweet workers Very nice service here. Everyone was sweet, greeted us, and checked on us. Our food did take a little longer than some others around us. For us, it was around a 25-30 minute wait after ordering our food. Even the table next to us that were seated after got their food first. The food did come out fresh, so I'm not really complaining. They did let us know and give us little updates about our wait and food though. Ambiance: Classic Brunch Spot The space is nice and looks slightly cramped inside. It was just my friend and I and they gave us a seat right in the corner next to the window. Honestly, probably the best spot for me and the person who seated us also noted that it was his favorite spot in the house. I didn't see much beyond from what was seen by the door. The space looks fairly small, but fit a decent amount of tables with walking space in between still. Always love the open kitchen. It's fun to watch what happens behind the scenes. Location/Parking: Large space It's located right on Saratoga Avenue. There is a Lucky grocery store here, so there is a lot of parking around. We really didn't have any concerns finding a space at all.

    I truly love this restaurant. The food is well prepared and the service truly stands out. Our group…read morehad Gabby as our lead server. She was delightful and engaging while I was waiting for my friends and told her about some special needs for one individual which she did a perfect job assisting. We had a variety of specialty drinks - all tasty. We had the fried tempura battered string beans appetizer which comes with a zesty sauce. Entrees included lamp chips, truffle fries, and a couple of orders of the pappardelle pasta and braised short ribs. Too full for dessert but another special martini and coffee. Beautiful ambiance too!

    We celebrated a birthday here and had such a good experience that I'm already planning to come…read moreback. From the moment we checked in, the staff was friendly and welcoming, and making a reservation about a month in advance definitely paid off since the restaurant was packed. For starters, we ordered the fried chicken & cornbread and the summer peach salad. The chicken and cornbread were easily a 10/10 super crispy, well seasoned, and the cornbread was rich and buttery. The peach salad with friend goat cheese (YUM!) was really fresh and bright, a nice lighter dish to balance out everything else. I also had a glass of rose. For mains, we had the Prime Ribeye and the 7oz Harris Ranch Prime Filet, both cooked exactly how we asked and full of flavor. We shared a bottle of Duckhorn cab, and I appreciated that their wine list felt reasonably priced for the quality. We corked what we didn't finished and took it home. The only slight downside was our table being in a bit of a funky spot along a walkway, but service was attentive enough that it never really became a problem. Overall, I'd absolutely come back, and next time I'm saving room for dessert.
