    Hey friends! I did a Yelp search of breakfast spots near my hotel and Bill's came highly recommended. This is a seven minute walk from the Cambria Hotel We unfortunately arrived after their breakfast hours ended. Breakfast ends at 11:00am. But, fortunately egg sandwiches are under their lunch menu. I ordered a simple egg and cheese bagel. The bagel was okay, I would have preferred if the bagel was toasted more and if the egg was cooked harder. -Customer service was amazing. It was nice to see the employees relationship with the regulars. It was also nice to see how well they managed the lunch rush. -Their prices are very affordable. -It's inside of an office building on the first floor. I definitely would return to try their breakfast menu. Enjoy! With love, The Picky Pescatarian

    Philly cheesesteak with a side of onion rings

    Food: my Philly cheesesteak with a side of onion rings were yummy! Service: quick. You order at the cashier. Definitely have your order ready before going up. Ambiance: fast casual, American style decor. You can see the grill: Not many tables.

    Egg and Steak Sandwich
    Robert K.

    Hey the good was good. Got an egg cheese steak breakfast sandwich on a long roll. I got two sandwiches because I didn't know what to expect. Two was way too many. Could have probably just got a half and been satisfied. Took about 5 minutes at most from order to delivery. There's one thing though. The sandwich was $6.50. They have a 50¢ egg surcharge so it must have 5 eggs so it $9 each. Wish I had known that. So just be prepared to spend a little more than expected from menu prices. Huge menu. Would go back for a single sandwich

    Food was good and priced reasonably. Staff friendly and service was quick. Parking was bad though, couldn't find anything close by. Ended up just parking across the street where it said Truck loading/unloading only and went in to grab the order. This appears to be what most people are doing too. Restroom is down the hall, take the elevator down to the basement, and to your left. You can get the code from the security guard on the first floor.

    Small seating area (that door leads to eggs kitchen), but there's a long bench on the left & several 2-tops.

    Let's start with the obvious: the ambiance here is straight up greasy spoon takeout. But, walk in and the place is BUSY with lots of folks who are clearly regulars. There is a menu of all the breakfast & lunch options you'd expect, served in styrofoam containers with plastic cutlery. AND, the several people behind the counted are friendly, quick, and helpful if you have questions. I asked for a glass of water & got a styrofoam cup of it; I expected they'd point me to the cooler case to pay for a bottle, but nope. Nice! I had a small (weak) coffee with half & half in little containers I added myself, and a spinach and cheese omelet, rye toast, and potatoes (though now I'm sorry I didn't order the grits, just to try them). The omelet was excellent - lots of both spinach and cheese, adequate salt; not greasy at all. Toast was nicely browned and appropriately buttered which for me means not too little/not too much. The potatoes were nicely cut, had good flavor, and to me could have used 30 seconds to a minute more cook time since only some were that perfect deep brown color. Prices were good, and no one bugged me when I sat a bit after I finished eating, so I could finish the chapter of my book. I'd come back!

    Sausage egg and cheese
    Rustin L.

    Excellent, personal service, true taste of Philadelphia. Very crowded, very popular, everyone seemingly on a first name basis. Great breakfast sandwiches and a surprisingly great tuna melt sandwich on toasted, buttered bread. Great little spot for a quick breakfast and vibes to start your day right!

    A joint. Straight up. Enjoy. This is why you live in the city: walk a few blocks, go to a counter and get diner food in a styrofoam container with sassy-and-no-nonsense gals running the register. While there was a big menu of various eggs, it seemed like breakfast sandwiches were the deal. I had sausage, egg, and cheese on a long roll - roll was good, cheese was gooey, a s eggs were good ... but it was just sausage patties slipped in there. Why not have some ground sausage ready, mix it into the eggs, top with cheese and roll? Seems like a miss, but for $6 I guess I should keep my trap shut. I'll be back next visit to Philly when I want a quick, authentic breakfast without pomp or circumstance but made by good people doing what they do.

    After going to 4 breakfast spots nd surveying 5 people looking for grits I found theee Spot. Now listen, you would have never known this spot holds a one stop shop breakfast spot with GRITS and she gonna put that cheese on them all too. I'm so excited . The ladies at the front counter are very sweet and kind and very attentive to my needs. They suggest things and everything. There's everything here just about. The grits- were everything right!! Nice good and creamy! The texture was so warmth for me. Especially sonce it was so cold outside today. I didnt even need salt. Then the meat selection is really amazing. I was blown away by the types they offer. I got eggs 2 meats grits and toast for under 15 bucks!!!

    Whether you're in need of a hearty breakfast or late-night munchies, Bill's offers quick and delicious American fare at an affordable price. We also recommend the cheeseteak --it was packed with meat, quality bread, and rarely priced. Service was kind and restaurant was clean.

I then had the wedge salad (blue cheese, nueske's bacon, cherry tomatoes, radish, pepitas, crispy onions, and thai basil goddess). There were no tomatoes on ours, and so we were given sliced avocado instead. This was an interesting attempt but not my favorite take on this dish, I probably would not get this again. However, the shrimp po boy buns came through to round off this meal! (crispy shrimp, smoky aioli, house made choppy chop, dill on two buttered potato rolls.) These were fantastic and absolutely fire. NOTE they are tiny, almost appetizer sized, which didnt bother me because after the salad and cheese curds I was feeling full already but I would go back and get two orders just for myself they were that good. All in all a great place, I recommend!

    Some new items on the menu so I figured I would go through a new review:…read more Carrot Soup: This replaces their old root vegetable soup, and they thankfully kept it vegetarian. It was much better than their root vegetable soup, and I was quite fond of that soup. It's honestly nothing like anything else on the menu. It has an indian? maybe? taste to it. It's so good. there is these juicy white raisins inside, some sliced almonds (not treenut friendly), and some sort of white yogurt sauce with micro greens. really a fantastic flavor pallet and the actual soup texture is smooth minus the toppings. Cashew Hummus: okay so here's my thing. I find that this restaurant in particular does such a disservice with their menu item descriptions. Based off of the description of this dish, I would think it's probably decent at best, and might not even order it. luckily I had a sixth sense to know this would be amazing. it's truly so good. it's a hummus layer topped with a bunch of seasoned roasted vegetables and chickpeas. The flavors are great and the textures are also great. I wouldn't have known it was cashew hummus if you didn't tell me. it's honestly not that large, so if you really like vegtables and hummus i'd get your own or split with only one person. if everyone is demure, it could go four ways. also! I don't think it comes with bread. it didn't come with bread this recent visit, but I am not sure if that was a mistake or that's how it is. But, to be safe, i'd save your bread you get at the begining to use for this. this is a must get every time I go. Dandelion salad: I only order this for my welsh rarebit. I like to eat my welsh rarebit with some of the salad since the acid cuts the fatty cheese. but, I will say, it's a very good salad. my favorite part is the thinly sliced celery pieces. it has a bunch of varying greens, celery, avocado, cucumber. all dressed in a lemony dressing. it's very simplistic and that's why I think it's so good. it's quite large, and would be a great "for the table" order so that everyone has some fresh bites with their rich entrees. Welsh Rarebit: my favorite. if you don't know what welsh rarebit is, it's basically fancy cheese toast. think proper fondue cheese with Worcestershire, mustard, maybe guinness, melted on a thick piece of toast. so an open faced fancy grilled cheese. it's two big slices of toast. could easily be shared for the table but I prefer my own order. if you get this I recommend also getting the dandelion salad and eating them together. Chocolate Set: I haven't tried their other desserts, but I just know they are a waste of time compared to this. the chocolate set is a dense chocolate mousse with earl gray ice cream, chocolate nibs, and a few orange slices. it's so simple but so so good. texturally, amazing. the smoothness of the mousse with the crunchy nibs is the perfect contrast. the orange is bright, the ice cream is just great on its own and does so well paired with everything else. it can be shared 4 ways if you have demure people. my family of four just orders two and we get half each. that works for us, we would never be able to share one. all in all great service as always, great food, and obviously a gorgeous interior.

It's casual but you won't be out of place if you dress up. For food, we started with the crispy calamari that came with a citrus frisee salad and was already sauced up. It was a unique style that I enjoyed and much lighter than other calamari dishes I've had. The petite plateau was perfect for sharing among the 4 of us. Everything was fresh and delicious while being presented so beautifully. The cocktails I had were good. They were different from ones I typically order which I thought was fun to experiment with new flavors to see what I like. One had a pickle garnish and the other was with a non-smoky mezcal. For entrees, most of us got pasta which were all handmade and tasty. My favorite was the one with crab & vodka sauce. The cacio e Pepe & mushroom ones were also good.

It was so gorgeous and topped with a sunflower seed praline & had tangy passionfruit sauce at the bottom which made for a flavor explosion. I was so impressed! The key lime panna cotta was also a work of art topped with candied sourdough that provided a nice crunch to the creamy texture of this dish. It was so yummy! I can't wait to go back again!
