Ate breakfast at bar. Quick and attentive service. Typical robust cafe crowd for a holiday time weekday. Clean surfaces, quick food and coffee cup was never empty.

***Update 11.15.23*** Stopped for early lunch, had the tuna melt sandwich with an Arnold Palmer, business customer had pancakes, food was great. 2 small issues, 1. Server disappeared and it took what seemed like 20 minutes to get the small sized glass refilled with more "Arnold Palmer" and then 2. Bills and many other restaurants who use the "Toast" ordering and payment system, hand you the mobile payment device with 3 tip options, 25%, 20%, and 18% in that order, I'm assuming they are hoping we tip their staff the 25% since 25% is the first tip amount and on the left side where everybody starts reading from. I think high quality staff should be tipped in some circumstances but I think the customer should be allowed to easily choose their preferred tip. I always click on the "Customize" button and tip 15% which was the case with this visit, however I'm not happy about the expectation to tip 25% which I'm sure some customers fall for......this should change. Prior review A solid, dependable experience Everytime. On this, one out of hundreds of visits I had corned beef hash and eggs which was really too much food but I ate it all just the same. Breakfast or lunch count on Bills to deliver all the traditional diner food you've come to know and love at Flames, Lou's, Cardinal, the original Goodies, Jimmy's, Diner of Los Gatos, Effies, Los Gatos Cafe etc... all Greek owned or inspired, cafes.... These guys get it right with quality, quantity and service.

Bill's Cafe is always a reliably high quality breakfast chain with a great selection of breakfast choices. While they tend to have long waits, if you choose the right moment you can get a seat almost immediately. The place is always clean and professional with great service. You'll likely find something to eat which you enjoy and you will feel comfortable in well equipped establishment.

one of the better Bill's Cafes (I've tried Cambrian, north san jose, willow glen (the worst), Rose Garden) spacious indoor and outdoor, spacious parking lot, good selection of food, attentive and accommodating staff, good food, good-sized portions. Salmon Bagel was great.

My friends and I visit this location since we were in the neighborhood. Rafael was our waiter who gave us excellent service. He greeted us at the door and placed our order which was correct, delicious and hot. He checked to see how our meal was coming along and if we need anything else.

First time to eat at Bills. The food was good. Portion was nice. Price was ok. Didn't like the fries, skinny fries is just not my thing. I got 3 tiny half pieces of bacon on my salad so I had to break the small pieces into a lot more tiny pieces of bacon. The wait staff was slow to refill the drinks of coffee water and soda. Overall, we all enjoyed ourselves and we may go back again to try something else on the menu.

Saturday morning brunch at 1030. Lucky to have no wait. We sat in the covered patio. Service was good. Cinnamon roll French toast was super good. Buttermilk pancake was also very good. I got it for me and my son ate most of it. Large portions. Shared an omelet and upgraded pancake instead of toast. They give their toast with butter so make sure to ask for dry toast if you don’t like butter.

Wonderful place to have breakfast or brunch. Even though there is a huge line here we got the table very soon since we opted for outside seating. Service is very fast and food is hot and fresh. Since we are vegetarian, we ordered Hawaiian pancakes and garden veggie sandwich. The taste was very flavorful. Helpful, friendly amd smiling staff. Would definitely go again.

A rather lengthy wait for a table, but they supply good coffee while waiting, which was nice. Once seated the service is speedy, and the food was great. No complaints. Our first time there, and we'll definitely be back soon. Good breakfast spot...I recommend.
