Bill's Cafe - Alameda

Bills Cafe in San Jose is an easy 5 stars. The food is delicious, portions are generous, and the prices are very reasonable. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive—they kept our coffee topped off the entire time, which was much appreciated. The standout dishes for us were the chorizo scramble, Bill’s Original Skillet, and the fried chicken Benedict. All were well-seasoned, flavorful, and packed with ingredients. I’m usually a hash-brown person, but I’ve got to say their country-style potatoes are the better choice here—crispy, hearty, and super satisfying. A great spot for a fulfilling breakfast or brunch!

I’ve heard so much hype about Bill’s Cafe, so I decided to finally check it out. Honestly, I’m not sure if it was just an off day, or if my expectations were too high, but my experience was very average. The place itself felt pretty standard nothing really stood out in terms of ambiance or service. I’ve definitely been to diners that had more personality and better food. What really threw me off, though, was the orange juice I ordered it came with living flies inside. That was a big turn-off and I had to send it back. All in all, it was a very normal diner experience for me, if not a bit disappointing considering the buzz around it. Maybe others had better luck, but personally, I’ve had much better meals and cleaner service elsewhere.

Just as you expected from Bills. Great high quality food and amazing customer service. Top 3 breakfast restaurants in the South Bay Area.

It’s a nice spot for brunch, though I wish their menu included calorie counts. I do appreciate their system of letting you join the waitlist and sending a text when your table is ready, it shows they value their customers.

It was okay, I asked for the breakfast burrito and it was big and okay, the mimosas aren’t that good but the Irish coffee is tasty
