The service was great, server was named Jose Cruz and made it feel at home. Steak was very well cooked and I will definitely be coming back.

It's our second time here, and we just love it! Great food great service and very ADA friendly! We had the country fried steak and scrambled eggs, and the hashbrown skillet. Both super delicious and honestly both meals were a large portion, so we had leftovers for dinner! read more

Cute place, parking was a little challenging to park close but not a big deal. We were 2 on a Sunday and we arrived around 9:30 so the place was pretty busy and there's been some wait time, I think we waiting maybe 10-15 min. It was clear big groups waited longer. Our servers were very attentive l, we were outside and it was great, the inside is a little noisy so it was great sitting at a corner table. The food was classic diner food. Nothing to lose your mind over. It was nice to have options to go healthier which has become a standard in most places. Will I come back? Maybe if I'm in the neighborhood but wouldn't go out of my way to go there. The potatoes had no flavor aside from paprika, and it's a little annoying that to replace the slice of bread with fruit is $3. Most places I went to, don't charge extra to replace. Why would I need bread if I have potatoes? It's just weird. read more

First time going to a Bill's Cafe location and what I can say is that it was packed. The line does go by quick. Service was ok, our server didn't check in on us much. Food was good though. There is outdoor and indoor seating as well. read more

Great service! Love the size of the mimosa. I ordered the Hawaiian pancakes and my husband got the tri-tip Benedict and it was all very delicious! They were also able to accommodate a party of 10 on a moments notice. Everyone is super friendly! read more

Bill's Cafe is one of my go-to breakfast spots, and I almost always order the steak and eggs. The steak is consistently cooked the right temp and is very well seasoned. One thing I especially love is that they have Pepper Plant hot sauce available. It goes amazingly well with everything and adds just the right amount of flavor and heat. The service has always been friendly and attentive. The staff checks in regularly without being overbearing, and food usually comes out quickly even when the restaurant is busy. The atmosphere is warm and comfy. Exactly what you'd want from a neighborhood breakfast spot. read more

My girlfriend and I wanted to try eating at a different place and came to Bills Cafe near Kooser. The parking lot had one spot left and we could park. The restaurant was pretty full, it was after noon, but we got seated in the patio. The menu was pretty good for breakfast/lunch and we ordered our food. I chose the breakfast menu with two eggs, hash browns, corned beef hash and toast with butter, my girlfriend chose a lunch menu item, fried chicken sandwich, fries and clam chowder. Both dishes were tasty, and the servers were very nice. It was very busy, but the food tasted good, and we were replete. It's a new go-to place for us, it's near Michael's, which is where we went afterwards to shop for fabric. We will definitely come here again! read more

Crispy Hashbrowns & Bloody Mary Perfection Bill's Cafe continues to be one of my favorite breakfast spots in San Jose. I've had consistently great experiences at multiple locations over the years, and this visit to the Cottle Road location in South San Jose was no exception. The staff and bar service are always friendly, welcoming, and quick. Our must-order is the Bloody Mary with extra olives -- always perfectly satisfying and a great way to start brunch. One of my absolute favorites is their hashbrowns, especially when ordered extra crispy. They never disappoint! I also love building my own omelette with American cheese, ham, spinach, mushrooms, and fresh avocado. The portions are generous, so if I don't finish it all (which rarely happens!), the leftovers make an amazing breakfast the next morning. Consistently delicious food, great service, and a comfortable atmosphere keep us coming back again and again. read more

We had a lovely brunch at Bill's Café. This location is great. It has a lot of parking available and plenty of outdoor + indoor seating as well. The servers are very attentive and the food comes out super fast. I would say I like this location a lot better than the one on Lincoln for sure (because there is never any parking at the other one lol.) We were helped by a very nice server named Jose Cruz. He was very attentive and provided fast + efficient service. Thank you. :) For food I decided to order the Nutella French Toast. Wow I've never tried the Nutella French toast before but it was delicious! It was also plated nicely and had a great moderate size portion. My friend also loved their dish and said it was a good portion size as well and very filling. This place is perfect for a casual breakfast/brunch experience. One thing I will say is the sausage we ordered was awful. BLEH. lol. It tasted like a vegan/vegetarian sausage instead of real meat to be honest. Everything else was very good, but I would highly suggest skipping the sausage. :) read more

This was my first time visiting Bill's Cafe, and I honestly thought it would be just a typical breakfast restaurant. However, my experience turned out to be so much better than I expected! Our server, Jose, was very patient and took the time to introduce the different dishes and explain the menu to us. His friendly service made us feel very welcome. The food was a wonderful surprise -- the hash browns were perfectly crispy on the outside while soft and fluffy inside, and the crab cake was also incredibly crispy and delicious. Overall, we had a great dining experience. The food, service, and atmosphere were all excellent. We will definitely come back again to try more of their breakfast dishes! read more

We've been here multiple times and have always appreciated the attentiveness and professionalism of the service. My husband and I have ordered something different every time we come and we've enjoyed each meal and drink. The atmosphere is welcoming and we usually enjoy the outdoor seating but indoor seating is ample and comfortable as well! The staff work so well together, you can tell they work seamlessly as a team, and make customers feel well cared for. Such a great vibe! read more

Bill's Cafe is such reliable place for brunch :) I came in for a Sunday brunch and the wait wasn't too bad, probably about 20 minutes. I got the mimosa flight which is just all right imo. I think the highlight here is the food. I got the mini eggs benedict (4/5) and it was great and the hash browns were cooked perfectly. The baked cinnamon roll (5/5) was sweet just like how I want and was a little crispy. It came with syrup but honestly it doesn't really need it. So glad I got this! The servers were very attentive and checked in on us frequently. Will for sure come back again :) read more

I always love coming back here for the baileys latte before 2pm. I don't know what it is about it because I don't normally drink or enjoy alcohol but the baileys latte is absolutely amazing. At every location of Bill's I've gone to, the service is always amazing and above and beyond. The staff is always so kind, attentive, and charismatic. They make coming back here always such a pleasant experience. Bills has been a favorite regular on my breakfast diner rotation and I feel like for good reason. The food never disappoints either, it is always super flavorful and well seasoned. I want to try more items but I always end up sticking with my regular orders most of the time. The food is a bit pricey averaging at about 20$ for each plate but I do think you definitely get your moneys worth because I can never finish the food. I honestly didn't expect myself to love it as much as I do now but I'm finding a new passion in trying a new eggs benedict dish everytime I come back because most of the ones I've tried so far have been phenomenal. I think if you're in the mood for breakfast/brunch and wanna try out Bill's Cafe you definitely should! It is definitely worth the hype in my opinion and is a staple San Jose breakfast diner location for a reason! read more

Raul was AMAZING!!! We are going to make Bill's a part of our weekend routine! the food, service, and even the coffee was perfect!

Went here for a late brunch date with my boyfriend and had a great time! Always a go-to brunch spot for family and friends, and never disappoints. Since we came a bit later in the day (around 12:30pm), it was not that busy despite being a Saturday. There was no waitlist, and we were seated immediately. Parking was also very easy. Our server was very polite and was very attentive! My boyfriend had their skillet and some buttermilk pancakes. He found them delicious. I had the French toast with a side of scramble eggs. The French toast was fluffy and sweet, I'd totally get it again. Overall a great experience! read more

Went to Bill's for brunch. The food was great, and Jose Cruz, our waiter, provided excellent service.

Solid brunch! One of my first meals back in the bay and I finally got to check off Bills. Came here on a Monday and was seated right away around 11am. I got the bills skillet which was delicious. I'm a sucker for skillets, just something about potatoes with meat and cheese haha. The vegetables weren't overcooked and mushy, lots of ham, and eggs were cooked perfectly. I got a pancake upgrade which I probably could've done without, was a little dry. Otherwise, hands down my new favorite brunch spot! Will be back again! read more

Been going here for so long but I realized I never wrote a review. The service here is amazing--the server was very attentive. I ordered the crab Benedict, and although it looked small at first, it ended up being really filling. You can also taste the butter they used to make your hash-brown, but I'm also a big fan of their crunchy potatoes. I just love the cozy diner vibes, and they've got the AC blasting, which is perfect. read more

I've been coming to Bill's Cafe weekly for a while now, and the consistency keeps me returning. The food is always good, and I really enjoy their fitness meals -- fresh berries, lighter options, and nothing that leaves you feeling guilty after breakfast. It's a great way to start the day. Service is consistently great, even when they're busy. Definitely get on the Toast waitlist because weekends can get packed. The patio is a bit cold in the winter, but the inside is cozy and comfortable. They turn tables quickly, and the bottomless coffee is always flowing. A reliable, friendly breakfast spot that never disappoints. read more

This place used to be my favorite spot for breakfast, but then other breakfast spots started opening up and since I like trying new places, I don't go here as often anymore. However, once in a while I'll crave a crab cakes benefit and will come here because theirs is the best (you really can't go wrong with it here!). I also like their bread pudding French toast and corned beef hash Benedict. The wait here can get pretty long around 11am, so I usually try to get here before then on weekends. read more

Such a yummy experience here at Bill's Cafe! Was visiting some friends and they were very excited to take me to their old high school breakfast spot! Let me just say it was a great experience and I cannot wait to come back. The prices were decent especially for the quality of food. You pay for the convenience of not worrying about cooking and receiving amazing service from the staff. The staff kept checking in on us and they were super interactive. I felt supported and did not feel overwhelmed by them checking in multiple times. The place seemed to have a busy crowd, but my friend said this was the norm due to it being a great spot to enjoy delicious food! Indoor and outdoor seating available. Definitely check this spot out! read more

Food was great. We loved the bread pudding French toast - it has a bananas fosters topping. Cinnamon roll pancakes also great. Smoke salmon Benedict was on point.

Dunno, does Bill's ever serve a bad meal? I've been here so many times and I haven't seen it if so. We love going here for brunch and when we need a hearty one at that. Even with crowds, they manage to seat you pretty quickly. Service is super fast and they always get my eggs juuuust right. Portions are generous and won't leave you wanting. Love the feeling of sitting outside under the roof there where we can enjoy some fresh air (though the inside is cozy and fine, too.) Bill's - just keep doing what you're doing. We love it! read more

Bill's is an excellent breakfast spot with amazing food and an even better atmosphere. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and came out perfectly. Go for the Chilaquiles The drinks were fantastic, and having a full bar is a huge plus perfect for coffee, mimosas, or a great breakfast cocktail. We grabbed the espresso Martinis Our server Yolanda truly made the experience. She was friendly, attentive, and welcoming from start to finish, making sure everything was perfect without ever feeling rushed. Her positive energy and great service really stood out. Between the great food, awesome drinks, and outstanding service, Bill's easily earns five stars. We'll definitely be back and asking for Yolanda again! read more

Jose Cruse was a great waiter. My fiancé enjoyed her food very much As for me I had the salmon Benedict. Not the best. Unfortunately. Salmon, very thick, hunks and chunks with bones in it never had that before and it smelt like, strong fish. Normally, this is our go to place and we have always loved the food here. We will come back. I just won't order that one ever again. read more

Great breakfast & brunch place. I had my fur baby with me so it was a plus that they were dog friendly and had outdoor patio area. Plenty of seating. We got there about 1045am or so and it was already packed. The staff were friendly and checked in on us. The French toast was thick and tasted ok. The toast got a little hard and dry so I had to drench it with syrup to keep it moist. The potato's and bacon were good and the Belgian waffle tasted great. Overall and great breakfast place. read more

A Tried-and-True Breakfast Favorite!! If you're after a no-nonsense breakfast that hits the spot every time, this place delivers. The menu sticks to the classics--fluffy pancakes, crispy bacon, perfectly cooked eggs--and that's exactly why we keep coming back. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the coffee is always hot. It's not fancy, but it doesn't need to be. Go tos: 1. Country fried steak 2. Corn been hash It's the kind of place where the staff remembers your order and the vibe is warm and familiar. A simple, satisfying way to start your day. read more

What a treat! My colleague and I recently had brunch here, and it was the perfect reward for a little dog-sitting. We were so hungry we went all out, ordering a bunch of dishes: the huevos rancheros, eggs Benedict, and French toast. Everything was cooked perfectly and absolutely delicious. The portions were generous, and the quality was top-notch. I did notice that some of the typical sides are now sold as add-ons, which is a sign of the times with inflation, but it didn't take away from the great food. We were lucky to snag a table outside with my colleague's dog, and it was great that the cafe is so pet-friendly. The staff were welcoming, and the outdoor seating was ideal. If you're looking for a great spot for a delicious brunch with a pet-friendly atmosphere, Bill's Cafe is definitely the place to go. I'm already looking forward to my next visit! read more
