I work up the street from Bill's and waited a while to write this review after passing the restaurant everyday since Mothers day, so here it is. Went for mother's day breakfast and noticed they had a big 5 gallon bucket of single flowers that they were presenting to female patrons. Well, I guess my wife with our 4 month old child didn't meet the criteria even though all other tables with mom's were presented a flower and some even a flower for multiple female patrons. The only thing that was evidently different was my wife is Korean and the only Asian female in the restaurant at the time. I felt so bad for my wife. I did however go across the street to Zanatos and buy here a lovely bouquet of flowers to make up for the injury. No more shame and never again my business. read more

My experience here was super good, the attention of all the waiters, the atmosphere and the food very good!

I came here on a weekend morning. It was busy but I still had fantastic service from Carlos and Samuel. The recommendation of the crab cake benedict was wonderful, and I really enjoyed my experience! I will be coming back again! read more

We stopped in from the road after seeing the big sign for Bill's Cafe. We had never been before, just hungry and looking for anything to eat. What a wonderful place! I see why it is so popular; the ambience is alive and inviting, the food is delicious and the service is kind. David was wonderful. We got a vegetable scramble and a Belgian waffle with strawberries and whipped cream. Would recommend to anyone looking for a brunch spot! read more

Food was amazing! Our server, David, was kind and tended to us quickly, making our overall experience enjoyable.

Came for a birthday brunch. Party of 7. Wait was about 20-30mins. Our server was very prompt and friendly. We had outdoor seating. All of us ordered something different. El Paso Benedict, chicken fried steak, bacon & cheese omelette, chorizo omelette, eggs & toast, veggie skillet, and chorizo scramble. Food was delicious. We were actually quiet for some time cause we were too busy enjoying our food. Large portions meets the price. We all enjoyed everything about our visit. Another added to the favorite breakfast/brunch list. read more

We LOVE Bill's Cafe on Naglee & Bascom. The food is great and the service is friendly. Our server, Carlos, was funny when he asked my husband which side he would like his "side of gravy" on, "left or right?" Lol! We sit outside so our dog can join us and it's just great because the staff is kind to him, too! We are grateful for this institution of breakfast/brunch and hope they continue to succeed! read more

Food and service were both excellent! Family was well fed and portions are good. Plenty of street parking if there is no parking in the lot. read more

It was amazing service. The manager was amazing. I had a wonderful time taking to a wonderful to eat

I came here for breakfast yesterday with my family. No wait time to sit down. Service was ok. The veggie skillet was very soggy. I should have asked for sour cream on the side, way too much. Not that much flavor very bland needed salt and pepper. The portion was big. The best thing was my son's pancakes and fries. read more

Love this place!! Great food and great service!!' Carlos L is always our server, he's great

It's good for a nice quick breakfast. We sat down and ordered and we got the food in less than 10 minutes. The coffee and original mimosa were good, although a small "fishbowl". We ordered the Benedict's- the hollandaise sauce is not impressive, doesn't taste homemade. Overall good, would come again. read more

@billscafe is a bay area classic breakfast joint. im surprised it took me this long to try it out. they offer everything under the sun for breakfast and more lol. the pancakes here really wowed me. they were super fluffy and delicious. i never get pancakes as my whole meal but this made me reconsider it. the portions here are also generous at a fair price. i wish my corned beef hash has more corned beef but i loved how crispy it was. what we ordered: chocolate chip pancakes el also benedict crab cake benedict cowboy skillet read more

It's been awhile since I've been to this location. The parking lot is kinda small, so if you're able to find a spot quickly, you're lucky! Otherwise I would recommend trying to find parking along the street. Noticed you can also add yourself to the waitlist via Yelp! I didn't need to during my visit cause thankfully it was a slower day (Tuesday), but I would say the service was a bit on the slower side than what I would've expected. Nonetheless, although the service was slow, the food was fantastic and fulfilling. Hashbrowns we're cooked to perfection and we're crispy just how I like it! Also the mini breakfast specials?!? What a steal! Half order of any style Benedict for $11.50?! First time ordering the smoked salmon Benedict and it was delicious! I would definitely order it again. read more

Outstanding service as usual! The staff goes above and beyond to always make us feel at home. Consistent and very tasty breakfast and lunch items! One of the best places to come in Rose Garden neighborhood! Thank you Bill's for always being welcoming and delightful! read more

we love this bill's!! all the servers are so kind and the food is always good. Also, the restaurant is so clean.

Extensive menu offerings including different variations of your classic breakfast items make this restaurant a dream come true for breakfast lovers. And the portions are quite large and filling. However the tastes are about average, nothing that really stands out. We got the crab cakes benedict and the BYO omelette (with sausage, cheddar, mushroom and onions), and it didn't live up to our expectations. I even subbed a pancake for the toast and it was a bit lackluster (and I'm very easy to please when it comes to french toast, pancakes, or the like, so this was somewhat disappointing). It wasn't bad, just not very memorable. I did appreciate the wonderful service and almost nonexistent wait times on a Monday morning, even with a decent amount of guests dining in, and although the place has a somewhat underwhelming classic diner look, I loved the artworks on the walls which I think added a nice touch and made it a little more inviting. read more

BEST breakfast and service ever. If the food didn't bring you here the service should. Jorge, Adam and the rest of the staff are excellent friendly and bring drinks before you know you need them. Highly recommended. read more

Had a breakfast date here. Came in on a weekday morning so there was not a wait. I ordered two eggs and beef cornhash with a side of toast and hashbrowns. My date ordered the steak and eggs breakfast. And then we decided to order a side of pancakes to share. Our breakfast plates came out quick and hot. We were so lost in conversation that before we knew it -- we cleaned up everything on our plates. Not sure if we were just hungry or if the food was really that good. Nonetheless, Bill's Cafe never fails. Y'all will not be disappointed if you're in the mood for some delicious breakfast food. read more

Service was fast, ambiance was welcoming and homey, and the food was great. The bathroom was very clean and overall the restaurant was well-ran. I had the Tuna Melt which was homemade tuna salad with melted cheddar cheese on grilled rye bread. It also came with fries. The portion sizes were very generous and it was around $15-20. I also had a bite of my friend's oreo pancakes which were good as well but it's not as worth it for the value compared to the tuna melt. Try this place once! read more

Food excellent. Service is superb! Jorge is ready with my iced tea as I arrive. 10 out of 10. Would definitely recommend.

I ate here for breakfast. The food was delicious, and they had excellent service. The portions were good, and I liked their salmon benedict. Fresh-squeezed orange juice is my favorite. It's not a bad spot for breakfast. read more

I was working nearby and my local coworker told me this is a small chain but solid restaurant so I decided to check it out for myself. Located in a decent sized parking lot on the corner of a main street. The inside wasn't too modern or decorated but that's never the reason to judge food by. Friendly staff, clean restroom and my food was ready in 15 minutes or less. I got the French dip to go. The first thing i noticed was the sandwich was slightly soggy on bottom before dipping into the au jus but no worries as the sandwich was firm and loaded with meat and flavor. The au jus, not so flavorful but it's always a complimentary flavor and not the main attraction. The fries were pretty good and I paid about 19 bones for my meal without a soda. All in all this place was a life saver by being so close to where I was working and the food made the experience that much better. I'm definitely coming here to try more items next time I'm working nearby read more

Bill's Cafe - Rose Garden is a legit spot for a hearty breakfast! The Bill's original skillet with country potatoes, sunny side up eggs and with rye bread toast was delicious. Rye bread is something I don't see offered at many eating places and thought let's try this. Loved it! A dash of pepper and drizzles of hot sauce and meal was perfect. I thought service was friendly and attentive which always make a big difference. Saw up close their popular mimoas being made and loved the glasses served in. I will try pineapple peach mimosa in a future visit. Location is central with a huge sign out front. Lots of seating inside and out. Parking could be a challenge especially on the weekends. I went on a weekday morning and parking lot was full but lucked out with one stall open. read more

Great place for brunch! The wait time here on a Sunday at 1 PM was just 10 mins as compared to 1 hr of wait time in other brunch places. We were glad we ended up here. I would recommend joining the wait list on Yelp if you are planning to come here, we didn't know about that. We had the freshly squeezed OJ, coffee, blushing mimosa, veggie skillet, mini Californian omlette and a Mexicano omlette. One tip is to buy the mini versions of omlettes, pancakes, etc as that would be the right portion for most folks. Everything we had tasted good, felt like quality ingredients were used and also the portions were huge. The waiters were pleasant! read more

stopped by bills for a quick lunch break and had the perfect diner lunch. they have tons of classic breakfast options--omelets, pancakes, sandwiches, and burgers. i got a patty melt, which came with fries and greek lemon soup. the soup was delicious and tangy, and the fries were the perfect thickness. the patty melt was tasty as well but lacking a little salt. my friend ordered the california omelet which was stuffed with different veggies and topped with avocado. it was enormous, and accompanied by a mountain of crispy hash browns and some toast. this place is a solid choice for a no frills diner experience. lots of big portions and comforting food, with plenty of parking! can't ask for much else read more

I love this place I go here at least once a week with my mom and service dog. The food is amazing. My dog loves the food too! Everyone is so amazing! They treat my service dog with extra care and make her feel special and I love that. Thank you for always being amazing! read more

Hit and miss but mostly hits. I order a lot through DoorDash but occasionally come to pick up because the DoorDash prices are higher. Hawaiian pancakes? Delicious. Omelets and scrambles are usually good. The Frisco sandwich (burger) is really good too. I knocked a star because maybe 1 out of every 8 times the pancakes are overcooked. But, when not, it's great. read more

Great menu selection, delicious skillets, yummy cinnamon pancake! Friendly service. Recommend, would come back.

This was delicious, the only recommendation I would make is that they put more hollandaise on the eggs and meat. Because it wasn't much as I started to cut the croissant and eat eggs and meat. I love croissants so when I saw they had a croissant Benedict with a eggs cordon bleu style, I got excited. I don't eat pork I asked could they give me chicken instead and the waiter said there is an up charge for grilled chicken, which I didn't mind and so I went with that. The chicken was grilled perfectly and delicious. The potatoes were soft, filling, flavorful, and the onions were cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. Bills always does good home/house potatoes because I've been to other places where they are underdone and hard but these were seasoned and cooked just right. Our server was very attentive, came back with coffee re-fills and water fills every few minutes and made sure we have everything. Also, the parking lot is very small and this location gets suuuuuper busy . I think my friend parked around the corner or across the street as there were no parks available. They have outside seating and you can bring doggies too. Very busy early weekend mornings but I enjoyed myself at this location. read more

We were looking to have brunch on a Sunday and every restaurant we called had an hour wait (at least). I called Bill's Cafe around 9:30 a.m. and they said it was a 15 minute wait. We drove over and got seated within 5 minutes of putting our name down. They seated us outside...it was cold but they have heaters available. The service was quick and friendly and my coffee cup never reached half empty - they were that quick on service. We ordered: 1. Build your own omelet - made perfectly and they were able to substitute the potatoes for sliced tomatoes. It also comes with choice of toast 2. Bread pudding French toast - if you like dessert for breakfast, definitely order this. It was baked with walnuts and raisins and topped with a fried banana and their special sauce. It also came with 2 eggs and choice of bacon/sausage 3. Country fried steak and eggs - this was so large, it was served on 2 plates. It comes with 3 eggs, gravy and a biscuit or toast 4. Chorizo omelet - filled with chorizo, avocado, onions, cheese and topped with salsa The portions were large and the prices were very reasonable! Definitely worth checking out for a weekend brunch. read more
