    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Country scramble.

    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!

    Hawaiian and Cookies and Cream Pancakes

    "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).

They had some Fanime specials for the con (katsu and egg salad sandwiches, spam musubi), seasonal drinks, of course coffees and teas, and non caffeinated drinks, as well as some food too (heated up pastries, both sweet and savory). There's a restroom with a code and a couple seats and tables with outlets to charge your devices. Service was welcoming and efficient especially after the crowds started to pick up. I got the: 1) Egg Salad Sando: -You can tell these were handmade in store. They had cute washi tape to hold the packaging together. -Solid egg salad sandwich. Slightly sweet white bread and generous amount of egg salad inside the sandwich. Creamy mayo taste that isn't too sour or tart, lots of egg in it. Perfect for an anime con next door. 2) Cappuccino: -I got this no sugar and sugar free and it came out with some pretty latte art. I thought it was mostly ok and boyfriend thought so too, but after several sips and when it was too late since we really had to get to the con, it just became too disgustingly sweet for him and he had to throw it away. 3) Yuzu Fresh Fruit Sparkler: -Yuzu puree with sparkling soda water. -Refreshing and not bad, but even after mixing this was a bit sweeter than what I would have liked and again, in our rush to leave, we couldn't really get this adjusted. I ended up pouring most of it in a water bottle to enjoy later and put in my bag. But ended up not finishing it in the end. Maybe next year I'll try again or just stick to the food stuffs.

The mussels were definitely the standout - the sauce was so flavorful and unforgettable that we were tempted to ask for extra bread just to soak it all up. We also really enjoyed the cocktails. To top it all off, we were surprised with complimentary caviar cones from the restaurant, which was such a nice touch.

Not a huge deal I guess but we wanted to order apps first since we were hungry and then take our time to do the entrees 2) if someone wants to do the prefixe meal, EVERYONE has to do it as well ‍... Kinda a pain and I personally don't feel it makes much sense as I wanted something not on the pre fixe menu Food: Bruschetta - so tasty. It's a flavor bomb with the cheese, honey, and mortadella. Def recommend Kofta- not bad. I dunno if the meatballs really went that well with the hummus as it's kind of a dryer dip but I get what they were trying to do. The bruschetta was much better imo Crudo- solid crudo. I've had better quality fish but it still fairly good. Nice dish if you don't want something too heavy and want a lil citrus Scallops- really good but really pricey. Is 2 for $24 . Loved the way it was prepped tho and the wasabi cream sauce. Oysters- also good but also pricey @ $4/oyster. If you hafta make a choice I liked the scallops better Octopus: cooked perfectly. Loved the sauces and flavors as well. This was a big hit at the table Chicken: nice grilled taste but ultimately overcooked and dry. Flavor was ok. Prob wouldn't get again nor recommend Ny strip: solid steak with nice char texture and flavors. Nothin crazy crazy but way better than the chicken Ocean trout: imo the best entree of the night. It was cooked perfectly and the skin had a perfect crisp/flakiness Lobster tagliatelle: pretty meh. I think the sauce on the pasta was a bit bland. There also was barely any lobster. I'd skip this Lemon pie: the best dessert. It sounds basic AF but it's really a deconstructed lemon pie using lemon meringue on top. Def creative and tasty. Loukoumades: despite being recommended we prob felt this was the least fav dessert. The dough balls were a bit stale instead of nice soft and fluffy Chocolate sundae: reminded me of a chocolate mojito. It was not bad and the mint created another dimension to the desert but ultimately just way too much chocolate. I think it could be better if there were scoops of different flavors instead of all choc Overall, most of the dishes were great and we generally had a good experience. Some dishes were meh but def felt the majority were winners. Wouldn't mind coming back for a special occasion or nice dinner again when the menu is refreshed

From the thoughtful decor to The Office being projected on the wall. It felt hip, fresh and refined. We decided to craft our own drinks - Arnold Palmers, his favorite.

    I swung by Egghead Sando Cafe not too long ago and it honestly left a really good impression. The…read moreplace has a chill, cozy feel , nothing over the top, just a nice spot to sit and eat without feeling rushed. I tried one of their signature sandos and it was really solid. The bread was soft and fresh, and everything inside tasted balanced rather than heavy or greasy. It's simple food, but done properly, which makes a big difference. Coffee was also better than I expected and worked well with the sandwich. The staff were friendly and easygoing, and even though it was fairly busy, the wait wasn't long. Overall, it's just a nice, low-key place for a casual bite. Nothing overly fancy, but definitely somewhere I'd go back to when I'm in the mood for a good sandwich and a relaxed atmosphere.

    This is one of the breakfast places in Downtown San Jose that you do NOT want to miss!…read more I stumbled upon this place after the Yelp app recommended me to try -- so you know I had to give it a try. Upon entering, I loved how spacious the place was, especially with the variety of foods they had: egg sandwiches, matcha lattes, coffee, and lots more. I was fortunate enough to try their egg drop in a jar alongside bacon and cheese, and their matcha latte. Both were very delicious and had a very natural taste to them :) They had self-order kiosks but at the same time, their hospitality and customer service was on par. They were very accommodating with regards to dietary restrictions (especially when it came to the milk selections for lattes, matcha was no different). I will definitely be coming back to this place to try more! (Hint hint: I may also try their other location as well -- that to.be saved for another time)

    i'm rating this place a 3 mainly because of the service, as soon as we were seated we waited for 20…read moremins for a waiter to bring waters or even check in with us and no one came so we had to go check in with the check in desk and they basically forgot about us ! They stated they would send someone out soon. i don't know if it had to do with them seating a bunch a people but at the end of the day we had to check in with them. Overall though the food was great and tasted really good

    Great experience here at The Breakfast Club! Awesome waitress, good food, yummy drinks. Cute…read moreatmosphere too! We initially sat at a table but asked to move to a booth due to baby and me comfort and they were super kind about it. Thank you for elevating the experience.... I ordered the loco moco and I'm so glad I did. Everything on the plate was deeelicious, kimchee is good for you, the meat patty was medium cooked as I asked and the eggs were scrambled super soft as I asked! My man got the low carb, and we expected the ingredients to all be separate but it comes in as a scramble. No biggie though. Was tempted to try the latte flight! That's interesting right? But couldn't justify all that sugar so did the nitro cold brew and it was very enjoyable:) Would def come back again for the same course of action.

    (4.5/5) Had brunch…read moreat The Table on a beautiful warm Wednesday, and the patio was definitely the highlight. It was the perfect spot to enjoy the fresh air and made for a really relaxing atmosphere. The restaurant has a great vibe overall, especially if you're looking for an outdoor brunch. (Have not been inside) I ordered the steak chilaquiles, and I'd give them a 8.5/10. The flavors were really good, the sauce was delicious, and I liked the addition of the eggs, avocado, and queso. My only complaint was the steak. I ordered it medium rare, but it came out medium well, a bit dry and was tougher than expected, making it difficult to cut. It was still tasty--just not cooked quite the way I was hoping. The mimosas were good too, a great value. Nothing that really stood out as amazing, but definitely nothing bad about them either--they got the job done. What really elevated the experience was the service. Our server Rebecca was attentive, knowledgeable, kind, and incredibly quick throughout the meal. They checked in at the right times, answered our questions confidently, and made us feel well taken care of without ever being overbearing. Overall, I'd come back, especially to sit on the patio again. With a more tender steak, this meal would've easily been an 8.5 or 9 out of 10!! :)

    Hey there party People…read more Decided to venture into Willow Glen today on the hunt for something new to try. Boy howdy did we hit the Mother Load with "The Table". We hit the Brunch hour and the place was rocking. We were able to sit right down amazingly. There is a fabulous patio to people watch and enjoy the California weather. Our server Charles was really great. He walked us through the menu giving us the 911 on watch to order. Most of the plates were perfect shareable bites. Making it easy to try multiple plates and really get your inner Foodie on. We started with the Seasonal Banana Pancakes with crushed walnuts and cinnamon maple syrup. Inside the pancakes were fresh bananas and the walnuts were crushed very small but added a great texture. Moving on to the Chicago Steak sandwich don't get confused but in Chicago they refer to Roast Beef as steak. The Au Jus dip was very flavorful without being a salt bomb. Loved the potato roll they used all round a killer sandwich. Going a little outside the box we tried the Jerk Chicken Sandwich. The pineapple slaw with this amazing peppery chutney type sauce played so well with the acid of the pineapple. Another must have sandwich. I ask you how can you go to a new restaurant and not have some dessert. With everything else being so good our expectations were pretty high and we were not disappointed. The Giant Profiterole is exactly that GIANT and stuffed with White Chocolate Gelato and Hot Chocolate Sauce that you can drizzle over the top. To fricken die for good. If you are in Willow Glen and you don't stop here you are missing out on something wonderful. Be kind to one another
