Everything was great. French toast and veggie skillet were both good. Service was good too.
The food is always great and consistent with plenty of choices. We always prefer to have Marisol to serve us because she is so cheerful and knowledgeable in all aspects of her job. She always gets our order correct and keeps the coffee and water coming. Bills is always been clean and very family oriented. Will keep coming back!!!Keep up the great job!!!0
The staff was friendly and the food was good. I ordered the steak ranchero with pancakes (extra cost instead of toast). Great breakfast place to spend with friends.
Bill's Cafe is hands down my favorite breakfast spot! The food is always amazing, but what truly sets this place apart is the service. The staff is so welcoming and genuinely cares about their customers--they even remember who you are and your usual order! It feels like a home away from home every time I walk in. If you're looking for great food, top-notch service, and a cozy atmosphere, Bill's Cafe is the place to go! Also, has the best Chocolate Martini's

Came here for late breakfast after kiddos well baby checkup. Yolanda (Yolanda B) and her team took excellent care of us. I had the crab cakes Benedict and my husband had the chicken fried steak. These are excellent dishes we've gotten for years. They make a couple minor improvements/changes since we were last here but it didn't matter. The food was as delicious as always. Bill's is a small but very busy group of restaurants. The Santa Teresa (at Cottle and Great Oaks) is my favorite location. The sound isn't as loud so we can hear each other talk even when it's crazy busy. Parking lot is also safer than some others - no hassle. Usually enough parking. Very short walk if you need to park in the other area of the lot. Side note: I'm a lactating mom right now and Bill's and their clientele are always friendly to it. Bill's gladly caters to families and most families I see are very well behaved. Good times for all.
I have been coming to Bills for many years. I have always been treated like family here. The customer service is amazing. My favorite dish is the chilaquiles here. Something about this spot makes it extraordinary. Jose especially makes the experience here great always very focused on what we need not to mentioned checks on us multiples times during our meal. Jose definitely is a big part why I keep coming back. . We will continue to come here for as long as this place stays open.
Such a nice breakfast spot! It was very busy when we got there and were told we would be waiting about 30 minutes, not too bad for a Saturday morning. There were chairs and benches we were able to use while we waited so that was nice. Our server was very nice and attentive. I had the chilaquiles Rojas and just wow. The tri-tips were cooked perfectly the tortillas had an amazing crunch to them and the potatos were perfectly cooked. Even though they were very busy and a little loud, we were able to enjoy our meal with our family which was so nice.
