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

Went here back in mid April for a Saturday late brunch. The place was pretty busy for almost being near closing time. Waiter was super friendly and came by to ask how our food was. Half of the staff was not wearing a mask. The hash was sadly burnt and some of the bits were inedible. Maybe the skillet over cooked it. However their gravy was to rave home about! The normal breakfast that my friends had were pretty amazing too , pancakes were also very good. Another friend ordered the skillet steak and it was also over cooked, maybe the skillet isn't a great idea if you don't prefer your food being over cooked. read more

Billy's Cafe - Corn Beef Hash Skillet - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Burlington, Washington

We were really looking forward to coming here after a morning of hiking but honestly we're not that impressed. We waited a while and when our food finally came it wasn't anything to rave about. The eggs Benedict was probably the best. The cinnamon roll French toast had hardly any flavor. The gravy was flavorful but the biscuits were dry and almost crumbly. Tasted like a box mix. There were very minimal Covid-19 precautions and several of the servers/cooks were not wearing masks. read more

I have been all over the country primarily for business. One thing I have learned in that time is breakfast restaurants tend to be rated highly if the execution is decent and there is sufficient quantity of food. Let's face it, by teenagers most of us can whip up a passable egg, bacon and toast. I say that because I have been on a mission to try some truly great breakfasts in the Valley. Partly spawned by having a chef in New Orleans setup a table in his kitchen and he personally made us breakfast. To date I have still never had better food pass my lips. I am always shocked when I have breakfast out and consistently get poorly seasoned potatoes. I avoid using a restaurants table salt. A therapist could probably help me there but I use it as a line of last resort. Even at home, if I prepare something and have to reach for the salt, I consider my execution subpar. This happens to be one place that can turn out hash browns and, gasp, season them well! Potatoes, unlike many vegetables, IMHO, are just one of those things that require salt. They should come with a warning label on the five pound bag that states 'will taste as bad as the dirt they came out of if you don't add a little salt'. I don't eat breakfast normally so when I do, this is a place I always consider depending on the direction of travel. read more

Billy's is always busy, and for good reason. Everything is made fresh to order and delicious. Portions are very generous and service is great. There is a small indoor area with booths and tables as well as a counter and a couple tables outside. The server made me a fresh pot of decaf and I ordered the strawberry crepes. The crepes were just the right amount of chewy with a sweet/tangy cream cheese filling topped with fresh strawberries, I couldn't finish them so I took them to go and they were still great the next day. Make sure to bring your cash, Billy's does not accept card payment. read more

I had a great experience at Billy's today, they have excellent food and service and I love the crepes that they serve, would definitely recommend. They also have an amazing atmosphere read more

Great food, great people. We love that combo! We'll definitely be back! Thanks Billy!

Love this place. Great place for breakfast and the staff is friendly and attentive. My favorite was the blueberry pancakes with maple syrup but my family also enjoyed the skillets which were served straight in the pan. Be prepared to wait for seating as this place is popular. And they operate only by cash so make sure you have it. This place is well worth both the time and the money. read more

This small place is well worth the wait. The staff is really friendly even with as busy as they are. The food is OMG Delicious!!!! If your looking for a place to eat you have to stop here. You won't be sorry. read more

This review deserves 10 stars and that is NOT an exaggeration. We stumbled on Billy's on our road trip up to Mt Baker. It has changed our lives haha. We have talked about these pancakes for 3 months between our visits. This last weekend for our visit we each ordered the cinnamon roll pancakes and then 1 order to go. Ron the chef is a rockstar!!! I may have fan girled when i shook his hand because i love his pancakes so much. read more

My friends took me here as we were heading to Lake Wenatchee for some camping and needed some breakfast as it is a long drive from Vancouver. The place was packed when we arrived so had a little wait. The food was good. I had ordered "The Billy's". It had 3 eggs, 2 bacon, 1 sausage link, hashbrown and homemade biscuit with gravy. I finished it all, which wasn't too hard. My friends nudged me to try for the 'Billy's Challenge' which was a lot more food than that. The Billy's Bomb Challenge has "2 lbs of potatoes with peppers and onions, 3 homemade biscuits covered with gravy. Topped with 5 eggs with cheese and 2 strips of bacon." You need to finish this within 30 minutes for it to be free. If you finish, you go on the Wall of Fame, if you can't finish, then you're on the Wall of Shame. You get a T-shirt The service was good, but being that it was super busy, it took a while to get our food, get refill of coffee and waters. read more

My wife and I can't stop thinking about the blueberry pancakes. They are big but not super thick. It was our first time at Billy's so we ordered one pancake to try as a side to our meals. I was eyeing the breakfast challenge but after being stuffed half way though my corned beef skillet, I know I would have never finished the challenge. Eggs Benedict was on point and the service was friendly and attentive. Looking forward to many more pancakes in my future. read more

I like Billy's because they have a variety of breakfast food so everyone is happy. Pancakes, French toast, biscuits, omelets, egg Benedict and more. I have never been here for lunch. The food is good and the portions are large. Great prices too. read more

Billy's cafe is a great place to grab a fair priced breakfast with pretty large portions. Parking is conveniently located on the street and there are several spots nearby. I had the farmer's scramble and my wife had an omelette. Our little one bad biscuits and gravy. Everything was fresh and tasty. The scramble was loaded with meat and the eggs were made to order. The omelette was large and the biscuit and gravy was a hit as well. Our food came out relatively quick after ordering. Service was solid on both visits. They have a challenge that's $40 which includes two pounds of potatoes loaded with biscuits and gravy, eggs and bacon. It looked tempting but I definitely would not have finished it. Failed and successful challengers alike receive a photo on the wall of fame or shame and a tshirt. We'll definitely be back next time we're in the area. read more

Great place for breakfast, great service. It's a small place so the earlier you get there the better. Parking is a little tough between 9-11am. But on the weekends you can use the bank parking next to them. read more

From the time I walked in and was seated, my meal arrived in less 5 minutes! The food was delicious, eggs cooked to perfection and the wheat toast was full of yummy good stuff. Maybe even from a local bakery? Other than that, the staff was friendly and courteous. I will definitely repeat! Heck, I might even go back for lunch today! read more

Billy's Cafe is a gem to Burlington! Went with a group (total of 6); the wait was a bit longer than we were told, but the cafe is a tad small and was busy! The hostess was super nice and apologetic for us having to wait long for a table though. We ended up sitting outside (can get kind of loud with the trains nearby, and alot of honking). But the wait was WELL worth it. Our waiter was so nice, and he kept asking if we were good and if we needed anything; as well as the hostess. I didn't get a picture of everyone's food, but all around my group of friends LOVED our picks. The food was super delicious. I got the Steak Skillet: a 7oz steak, potatoes, green peppers, onions, melted pepper Jack cheese and 2 eggs (any style), and a side of white toast. Steak was flavorful. Potatoes were made to perfection. Peppers, onions and cheese made it extra yummy.. and the eggs were so soft. Truly a great breakfast spot. It was our first time in Burlington, and hopefully won't be the last! Stood in Burlington for 2 days to visit North Cascade National Park, and came here for breakfast before our head back home! read more

A delightful foodie My son and I have been foodie explorers and this time we experienced the most delectable breakfast we ever had (Comparison: Original Pancake House or Roscoe's in So. California). We ordered chicken fried steak breakfast, corned beef skillet and a delightful cinnamon roll pancake. Service wise, excellent! Atmosphere, warm and friendly! Billy's cafe is definitely an excellent choice, you will never be disappointed! read more

Stopped here for lunch after visiting Tulip Town. We were excited to give it a try as we saw it was commonly reviewed on Yelp, however our experience was less than ideal. We ordered two Philly cheesesteak sandwiches and a burger and we waited nearly an hour for the food to come to our table. The quality of the food was also underwhelming- especially the philly sandwiches (pictured) which the menu described as "authentic". The sandwiches lacked substance with very little meat and the cheese sauce was just nacho cheese on a barely toasted french roll. The fries were cold, although they were crispy and had good flavor. Disappointed overall, but hope to have a different experience if we come back in the future, maybe for breakfast instead. read more

Yep yep yep. Breakfast heaven! Came here to the their cinnamon roll pancakes...two large pancakes studded with gooey cinnamon sugar spots and topped with cream cheese frosting swirl, served with syrup. My friend likes these pancakes on their own but I poured the syrup on. DELICIOUS. I never wanted the pancakes to end!! Better yet, you gown upgrade your plate to add bacon and eggs for just a few bucks. My other friend got a breakfast sandwich served with hashbrowns. The sandwich was huge and golden perfection. A few coffee pointers- they do not have dairy milk substitutes for their espresso drinks and for their drip coffee, they only serve dairy half and half. Kind of a bummer!! The prices here are great and you get good, small town table service. I can't wait to go back! read more

Six of the ladies in my family and I stopped here on our way to our ladies trip. It was such a great choice the food was very good, that we stopped back on our way back home. The story of how this business came about is cute. Husbands dream, but the husband, wife and their son run the business. The hospitality of them was amazing. The owner of the business seen that an elderly woman was having a hard time walking so he walked her arm in arm out to her car to make sure she arrived safely. The food was delicious and very generous portions. This was definitely a great choice! read more

Great food, great service, a treasure chest for the kids, and huge portions. You have to pay cash, and don't sit in the booths by the restrooms as the music can get loud. Other than that, one of our favorite breakfast places. read more

My wife and I stopped in here for a quick breakfast before heading out hiking. Free street parking can be found. Discover is an accepted form of payment. This cafe serves home-style meals with down-to-earth home-style attitudes. It's apparent the staff enjoy each other and it's obvious that they all have a great fun together. Local artists are also supported in this cafe. Great character Billy! My wife and I each ordered a mug of coffee and cream for $2.15 each. My wife chose the half order of biscuits and gravy for $4.99. For and additional $2.99, eggs and bacon were added to her meal. I ordered the Breakfast Burrito for $8.99. We both left fulfilled and quite happy. See you next time Billy when we're out playing on Hwy 20. read more

With a 4.5 star rating, I knew I was in for a treat, however even the best have off days! We arrived just before 1:00PM on a Saturday afternoon and were greeted to temporary signs on the door stating cash only. The place was hopping with every table full. We were told 10-15 minutes and rather than a 3 top sitting at the counter opted to wait for a table. We were seated in the specified time and placed a drink order. I ordered my standard breakfast of bacon & eggs over medium, hash browns and no toast. The eggs and thick sliced bacon were tasty however the hashbrowns were completely crispy and on the the overdone side. Daughter order a humongous chicken fried steak and mountain called a biscuit and wife had a gooey patty melt and fries, Both were completely satisfied with their meals and considering that Billy's was slammed service was still ok. Had to request soft drink refills and the check 90 minutes after arriving. Overall was satisfied with Billy's except, with tip and tax the meal was almost $70! Will return but probably order lunch as it is better value. read more
