This place keeps the coffee pouring and has a nice outdoor area to sit and enjoy. Bills is a great FOIL for The table across the street which is so upscale and does not necessarily resemble a typical diner menu. Bills on the other hand has all the usually suspects you might expect from a Diner restaurant. We always like our food - excellent spot to nurse a hangover or get breakfast with the family.

My husband and I went there for early brunch(around 10) on Sunday. It was crowded but there was no waiting. The meal was very good and the service was very good as well.

Love their omelettes! Always crowded so expect a wait time of about 15 to 30 mins before being seated.

The original and the best Bills is a great place to eat. You can even bring your dog and eat on the patio. Be prepared for a busy restaurant, but they get you seated quickly and service is just wonderful. ( Thank you Erik!!!) Its little wonder they won best of year after year. We love you Bill's! Stop in if you're in the heart of silicon Valley. Willow Glen location is the best, but they're all great.

Came here for breakfast. Using my extremely scientific method for rating a breakfast place (biscuits+gravy=...), I can responsibly report that this place is a 4. Very tasty chow with good service and a great place to sit and watch the cable cars go by.

I always judge a breakfast place off their chicken fried steak and eggs and their service. I got the chicken fried steak and eggs with jack cheese. Usually good fried steak you can cut with a fork, this one you couldn't, and the gravy was way too sweet. The potatoes and eggs were pretty good, but the toast was too dry. I liked the old diner feel, and the bustle of the place, but that also turned down the service. We kept asking for refills and for items, had to ask multiple times. The only reason this place is a 4 star for me is because of the atmosphere, otherwise it's be knocked to a 3.

We ordered takeout and the food was fresh and the portions were huge and the price was decent for what you got! The kids were especially thrilled with the variety of kids meals available.

Bill's Cafe is always wonderful. The food is great atmosphere is lovely, and the food comes fast. The service is spot-on. What else can you ask

My family & I were looking for a breakfast spot while in the area and found this place. Wait time was reasonable, and staff were friendly. Breakfast was delicious!! I had the french toast with bananas & it was delicious. Our waiter was Eric, and he made our experience there even more pleasant. I Will definitely recommend this place to those looking for a breakfast spot!

Would give more stars if I could! The wait was a little long, but we sat outside without a wait. Our waiter was incredibly welcoming and seemed to know everyone that came in! The food was fast and the coffee was good. Highly recommend!
