Stumbled upon this place while driving through the area and it popped up with great ratings -- glad we stopped in. The vibe is very much old-school mom and pop. Regulars clearly know each other and the staff, which you don't really see much anymore. Refreshing. Service matched that energy -- warm and good throughout. I went with my go-to order, the chicken fried steak. It's not the best I've had -- the steak itself had more of a ground meat texture than a proper cut, which was a little different. But it was enormous and absolutely hit the spot. The biscuit on the side was solid too. My husband got the ham and said it was juicy and well done. Not a destination spot necessarily, but a great find if you're in the area and want a hearty, unpretentious brunch. read more

Tasty breakfast fare. Great menu choices. Super friendly service. Billy's is like a little breakfast cafe in a church basement. Music (and singing along waitress) included! Seated right away...no wait. read more

We are traveling through and found this place with great reviews. I usually look for bad reviews and bypass positive reviews. I wanna know what went wrong. Most bad reviews were upset about CASH ONLY but they NOW ACCEPT credit cards. We found parking in front but parking in back space as well. Customer service was excellent! We were greeted immediately. Diner like experience. They serve big portions and the food came quick. My husband and I shared an omelette and he ordered a side of bacon. Our daughter order original pancake. The pancake was delicious, came with butter, whip cream, and sprinkles. read more

We're pleasantly surprised did not have a wait time on a rainy Sunday at lunchtime. They had plenty of staff keeping up with the comings and goings of patrons. There were some tables and booths. We ordered their house made chili to start and it was delicious and filling. My hubby ordered the Billy's platter. I ordered the chicken chimichanga. The food was delicious and generously sized. I really liked the fresh salsa, guacamole and tortilla chips with the chimi. The staff were all friendly and attentive. It's always nice when they keep your water filled. We took most of our main courses to-go. read more

Such a warm cozy place. Such a good hearty breakfast. Quick and great friendly service. 10/10

Stopped here on our way home and walked in, greeted promptly by someone and they let us know it would be just a minute. Place was busy so to me that is always a good sign. We were seated and brought menus to look at. I got the cinnamon roll pancakes since that sounded good and unique. They were delicious!! Thanks for a great lunch!!! read more

Headed out for another adventure over the Labor Day weekend, thought we would head out to a new place for breakfast. Stumbled into Billy's. The food was amazing and definitely filling. The cook was spot on and a fabulous flavor. Note, the portions were so large the wife and I shared and could finish. We will definitely be back with the kids. read more

Well, I went at the end of a busy Saturday for them as they close at 2 PM I sat at the counter was a fairly homie environment. Service was adequate ambience was good. The food was good even though the presentation was a bit iffy. I'll have to try the eggs Benedict next time I think that's the thing that I saw coming out of the kitchen that really got me because they had this huge slab of hashbrowns. It looks so good. I almost had to stay in order some more food, but I kept my senses about me and dreamed of maybe coming one day to do the epic 6 pound food challenge that they have there I definitely will be back to Billy's even got to say hello to Billy the owner. I like their collection of mugs and they even had a tribute shelf for those that have gone to the other side over the years... definitely going to visit Billy's again. If it's better, then, I may be onto something with this place. read more

A near-perfect neighborhood cafe, with diner flattop classics like breakfast skillets, fluffy pancakes, omelets, thick French toast, burgers, Ruben, hot pastrami, and cheesesteak sammies, and more. The coffee is generously poured and constantly refilled. Local workers rub elbows and exchange gossip with tourists and seniors at the counter, while couples sink into the carnivorous booth seats and enjoy the people watching opportunities. Recommended! It's as local goodness as it gets. read more

Super kid friendly place with big portions! When you order from a kids menu, they let the kid pick a toy from their treasure chest. And there's also some magnet tiles to play with. It's a very chill place, with friendly staff and nice food. My only complaint is that the skillet dish I ordered was a bit too salty for me. read more

Have a wonderful and tasty breakfast. The portions are plentiful and the prices reasonable. The biscuit and gravy are incredibly good with three eggs on The Billy order. Service was impeccable and friendly. The place looks cleaner than most. Fun and lively ambiance. The was coffee was not gourmet just diner taste. I'll do without coffee next time but will definitely return. read more

A great place for breakfast. 30 min wait on a Saturday morning so we looked over the menu. They have a ton of breakfast and lunch items available. We started with a bowl of clam chowder. Lots of clams and oh so good. My corned beef hash skillet was the best I've ever had. The corned beef hash was tasty and not greasy, the potatoes crisp and flavored just right and perfect over easy eggs. Made is easy to mix it all together, which is how I like it. Wife had the cinnamon french toast so light and airy. Cash (or Venmo) only. Super nice servers. If I lived closer would be here every morning. read more

First time trying this little all american style diner. Sunday at noon, by myself. It was busy and noisy; the sign says "Wait to be seated." Eight staff were on duty--enough that servers could sing and dance--so the low level of attention to my less than full coffee cup was surprising. My overall impression boiled down to 4 aspects: undercooked, underseasoned, underportioned, and overpriced. I ordered the eggs benedict. The hashbrowns were al dente, tasting like raw potato with absolutely zero seasoning or flavor. They were barely browned, resulting in a wet starch texture. The ham was a sliver, as thin as prosciutto, and folded in half to look like there was more than there was. The English muffin seemed uncooked, lacking crispness and crunch. The eggs were too lightly poached; the egg whites were still slimy and clear. Yuck. The sauce lacked the tang and flavor that hollandaise should have. Whereas the portions were fine for me (I was no longer hungry, but I was not full either), they would definitely not be enough for a man under the age of 70. The coffee tasted like standard food service coffee; it was fresh and hot, but a refill would have been appreciated for the $4 price tag. The eggs benedict was $18.99, but I feel the value received was closer to $13.99-$15.99. read more

Billy's is a great breakfast place. It's small so expect a line on the weekends. During the week you have a better chance at a table. The earlier the better. It's pricey now, but what place isn't anymore? Great pancakes. read more

Efficient, friendly service, solid 'merican breakfasts served as they should be. 10/10 would do again. Plus they played fast and loose on the coffee, so that's a thing. (One question tho: on their large painting, I get the eggs n toast but what's the red blob?) read more

Service, service, service!! Let me say it loud and clear.... SERVICE!!! When the entire staff of a restaurant is present, connected, participating and involved it shows and we are paying attention! Matter of fact, we love the attention! The entire staff was funny, friendly and attentive to each and every customer. The food is amazing cafe food served hot and fast! The portions are huge so come hungry or have room in the fridge for some great leftovers! The Chicken Fried Steak and CFS Burrito will definitely feed two folks each, as will a whole lot of other menu items! The servers need to be body builders to carry some of those loads!! Hubby had the Chicken Fried Steak and could only eat half! I had a few bites to help him out and it was delicious, just as important, the gravy was seasoned and had a real good texture. Our adult daughter had the breakfast burrito and had to take half of it home! I had a "normal" breakfast and it was all cooked to perfect order including the eggs and hashbrowns extra crispy! Billy's is the #1 rated breakfast place in Sedro-Woolley for a few reasons, the top two being the service and portions of delicious food! I highly recommend a visit and will definitely be back when in the area! read more

Saturdays are my hiking days. Recently, we decided that we would start incorporating brunch into our plans after we spend all morning on the trails - because duh, right? After we were done hiking Oyster Dome, we decided to go check out Billy's because of the awesome reviews. It's on a quiet little street in Burlington with street parking only, which we found easily. We waited about 10 minutes for a seat which wasn't bad at all. Customer service was kind. For food, I went with the Billy's Plate, which comes with homemade biscuits w/gravy, bacon, sausage, hash browns, and eggs. The biscuit was the best part of the meal. Definitely could tell it was homemade and almost had a sweet taste to it. So good! The gravy was also tasty - not as peppery or meaty as I normally like it, but still good. The rest of the meal was pretty blah. The eggs were almost mushy in texture, the bacon wasn't cooked to ANY sort of a crisp (so definitely ask for crispy!) and the hashbrowns had the same problem - very soft and no crisp. It was almost like they didn't have time to give everything the time on the stove that it needed? The sausage link was really good though - tasted like really good quality and wasn't one of those tiny wimpy ones most places give. I'm so sad that it didn't live up to the reviews, so I'm thinking maybe it was just an off day? Who knows. I'd be willing to try them again. Be aware that they aren't doing the *best* job of COVID regulations. Yes, people are wearing masks when they come in. But they're still packing the place and even though there was "no seating at the counter" signs up, they were still allowing guests to sit and eat up at the counter next to each other, even if they weren't from the same party. read more

Good breakfast joint. Wish they took credit card because we didn't bring enough cash so had to get more from the ATM. Seems like many regulars come here as the serving crew knew many of them. read more

In fear of adding to the spot on reviews about this place and drawing more traffic to this little cafe I didn't want to leave a review! The cafe is a small one with the absolute nose down to earth staff, the ambience has such a small hometown vibe that was a great change from the usual corporate style dinners. Prices are spot on, Bill mentioned how they work with local farmers to source some of their materials! The food was genuinely delicious. If you have the chance and can you have to try the pancakes! Such a simple thing but man do these guys know what they're doing! And the strawberry jam? Locally sourced! We saw they had some take home bake pies and after eating some today I 100% recommend them. read more

Billy's offers good food and friendly service. The trade off is steep prices, a long wait, and poor ventilation. My boyfriend ordered the Country Benedict, and I went for one of the skillets--The Farmer. My boyfriend fed me a couple bites of his dish, and I must say that the biscuit was something special. I think it was toasted on a grill. The eggs on my skillet were perfectly cooked, and everything else about it was solid. I had enough food for a second meal, so I brought half home. The two tiny slices of sourdough toast were a bit of a disappointment. As I mentioned, there are some issues with price, speed of service, and ventilation. I don't think breakfast for two people should cost $50 plus tip. Also, it took a very long time for us to get our food. Ventilation is definitely an issue--soon as you walk in the door, you realize you're going to walk out smelling like the greasy spoon. The place is small, so there's probably no realistic way around that. All and all, Billy's is alright. With Train Wreck right up the street and Stilly Diner in Arlington, it's hard to mage the case for returning to Billy's. read more

What a gem. We stopped here on our way from Seattle to Bellingham. Incredibly friendly, home-y, awesome friendly staff, prizes for kids, fun eating challenges with prizes, patriotic decor and did I mention the delicious food! This place is a town favorite for sure because it was busy the whole time. As a coffee snob, even the coffee was descent. It wasn't bitter and very smooth. I passed on the shelf stable creamers. I got the Corned beef hash skillet with country gravy - so delicious and filling! My husband got BLAT sandwich - he loved it and the fries that came with it had this yummy batter. Great experience. We can't wait to be back! read more
