Great food and super friendly service. Billy's has a very friendly neighborhood vibe.

The food is not tasting the same that it 10 gone there. I think they have gone cheaper food and it doesn't taste as good as it used to so I will quit going there. read more

Neighborhood Café very popular with the locals. Very clean and quick service. Excellent food and very friendly staff. Early bird specials! Food cooked to order, and the biscuits and sausage gravy are always a good choice! read more

Love the biscuits and gravy here always very exceptional service, by waitress and cook!

My mom needed a little pick-me-up so I took her to breakfast at Billy's Cafe (I think it used to be Billie J's cafe?) It seemed like a good choice because although I like places like First Watch, Jimmy's Egg, and LePeep, Billy's has less of a corporate feel and more of an old school, small town, personal vibe. We snagged a booth and our experienced, no-nonsense server brought coffees right away. The menu has loads of very traditional breakfast and lunch options at reasonable prices (especially these days!). I opted for the Billy's combo with biscuits & gravy, hashbrowns, eggs over easy and sausage links. My mom got the Build-a-Breakfast with scrambled eggs, sausage patty, and pancakes. For $20 and change, two people can eat like kings. I really didn't need much the rest of the day. Though I'll never make it there before dawn, they do offer an early bird breakfast special before 8am on weekdays for $5.95. I really need to come here more often, especially since it's right in my neighborhood. I have had a craving for chicken fried steak lately ... read more

Billy's was crowded when we walked in (8:00am)-- we sat at the only table available, but by 8:30 a lot of tables had cleared out. This could be due to the early bird special that they have from 6:00-8:00. The restaurant is your typical breakfast diner, and it appeared to be very clean. Just remember it's cash only! The service was great. I think we see the same waitress every time we come. She was quick, knowledgeable, and very friendly with her tables. My companion and I both ordered Build-a-breakfasts, which come with eggs, toast, and hash browns. He added bacon to his while I added the chicken fried steak with gravy. The hash browns were a bit greasy, but they still remained crispy on top, and we devoured them so we clearly didn't mind. The chicken fried steak was more than filling, and the amount of gravy was very generous. read more

great service and great food my waitress was amazing very friendly when I got here and when I was eating

We stopped in to eat breakfast quickly when passing through town on vacation. Not great curb appeal but great service & food was good. Not expensive and didn't take long to get our food out even though it was packed. If you are in the area and looking for breakfast don't hesitate to stop here!! read more

food and service is always great. a fun family diner. Everyone is family, kind of like Cheers.

Comfortable atmosphere with quick attentive service and delicious comfort food whether it's breakfast or lunch

Visiting my father in Omaha, and he wanted to bring us to Billy J's Cafe, 'one of his favorite plaves to eat'. This restaurant only serves breakfast and lunch. The food portions are large, and very good. It was quite busy when we were there, but the servers did a pretty good job with keeping up. My dad brought me to Billy J's when I visited him last year, and the front door had a large crack. I was surprised to see that it still hadn't been fixed (seems like a significant safety hazard) read more

Great service & food. Great place to enjoy breakfast. Jen, a morning waitress is the best.

Consistently good food, nice wait staff, nice little kitchen. Cash only, easy parking

I love this hole in the wall breakfast spot. It has the cozy neighborhood feel to it. There isn't much to look at and it hasn't been updated in years, but this definitely isn't the place you come to for that ambiance. You come because you want good home cooked food. There traditional breakfast is always spot on. Not overly greasy or lacking flavor. I am a bit of a waffle snob and this is one of my favorite places to get a waffle. It comes out hot and the butter melts quick. It's crispy and doesn't get soggy quick. If you're in the area and don't want to wait an hour at a trendy aksarben spot, head here for good ole classic food. read more

I've lived within a mile of this business for three years. My family has been in this area for 30 years. How did I not know about this place? Excellent home style family oriented café. Excellent service excellent prices. A pair of breakfast combos costs nearly $15 at McDonald's. You're better off spending a few extra dollars and sitting down to enjoy a meal here. If I had to pick a downside it's the fact that they only take cash. read more

We are fans of breakfast food. Never been to this Billy's before. The server was very friendly. She worked the room by herself, mostly seniors like us. Feels like a small town cafe, cash or checks only. We both had chicken fried steak omelettes. The coffee had a funny wang. The toast was wimpy, under done. The meat and vegetables seemed identical to the egg, soft & gooshy with American cheese. The hash browns and gravy were OK. We have been spoiled by The Special in Bellevue and Vidlak's on West Center. 3 stars for moderate prices and friendly waitstaff. Maybe you will like the food better than we did. read more

Solid eggs, bacon and toast! The hashbrowns are prepared perfectly and very close to Leavenworth Café but unseasoned. Dump your own salt on and it works. Biscuits and gravy were good but pretty light on the sausage. Prices are right And service is super friendly will definitely be back! read more

Local business, good people. Decent food! There seems to be a lack of seasoning to most of the items. Not Husband had the chicken fried steak and it seemed to be lacking something. Salt, maybe? It was fork tender though. I had the pigs in a blanket. That was surprising! The crispiness of the pancake topped with the fake butter and the maple colored sugar water they call syrup was downright delicious! The wrapped sausage were the smaller breakfast sort and nestled in the spongy pancake. I know it sounds like I am bashing the pigs in a blanket but honestly I am not. It was everything I wanted it to be. I would have made myself sick on them if the Not Husband didn't take them away and help finish them. Interesting observation about the pancakes. They weren't cooked round, they were more oblong so they would wrap better around the sausage. I would go back for the pancakes alone. The inside of the restaurant needs a little help, it has a dive-y hole in the wall vibe. There are holes in the wall and paint is peeling but the staff is attentive and friendly. The portions are good sized, the coffee was tasty and free flowing. This is a mom and pop place frequented by locals. This is not Early Bird or Saddle Creek Breakfast Club but if you are looking for a place to read the paper while you have a hearty breakfast and coffee. This is the place for you. OH!! Cash only... read more

Billy's Cafe was everything I expected based on previous reviews. It was pretty busy late morning on a Sunday. There is no hosting so it's pretty much the honor system on seating yourself when a table leaves. The busser left a wrinkled roll of silverware left from the previous diners which was slightly odd. Otherwise service was quick and to the point. I had the chicken fried steak with hash browns, eggs, and pancakes. The hash browns were perfect. Crispy on the outside warm and soft on the inside. Chicken fried steak was pretty good. Nice crust but could've used more seasoning. The pancakes were also delicious. They come pre-buttered so if you're not into that let me know! One odd thing was the syrup labeled that it was made just for Billy's. Super thin...just kind of wondering who is specially making this syrup. I guess you can find the same at their other locations around town. I would also appreciate a better selection of hot sauces. The sauce they have is a Louisiana style and it's honestly not very good. Over it was a good experience and I will definitely return. The hash browns alone have me sold! read more

Today was my first time stopping here. I found it on accident actually and our waitress was so kind and friendly and interactive. The food was like my aunties breakfast it was so delicious! Please please stop in and tip your lovely waitresses/waiters good because they sure as heck deserve it here!! read more

I just ate breakfast here. I've been busy all morning and didn't have a chance to eat breakfast earlier. I figured since I was hungry and wanted to eat right away that I would just go out for breakfast. Most of the tables looked like they were barely wiped down. I was only able to eat a few bites of my biscuits and gravy because the gravy was cold. The eggs, hash browns and bacon were just OK. They were at least edible. The only reason I didn't just walk out was because I was hungry and too worn out to go elsewhere. When the check came I noticed it was covered with brown gravy stains. This place is horrible. don't go here. read more

Stopped in for lunch, and had breakfast instead. The cheese omelet was one of the best I have ever had. Great taste, and fully cooked without being scorched or burnt. The hash browns tasted good, but were a little too greasy. The pancakes were very good. The place was clean and had a good crowd. The one waitress was always apologizing to customers for not remembering to get them something, but most people seemed to be enjoying their meal anyway. read more

Billy's Cafe - Store Front - Cafes Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

waited 15 minutes before asking for a menu, waited another 10 minutes for waters, wouldn't have minded the wait if our server had addressed us, but she just kept walking by. Once our server finally approached us was told "there was tables ahead of yours" when we had just watched the table she choose to approach tell her that we were before them. She was rude & didn't bother coming back to ask if anything was needed. Food is good. read more

Stopped in for breakfast and waitress was apparently having a bad start. Angry the day was starting she started coffee while mumbling something about F$&@ing something and her dad...no thanks I just left, after a long night at work that's not how I wanted to have breakfast read more

Stopped in for lunch one Saturday with the family, before going to the grocery store next door. My kids GC sandwich was cold and greasy, made with stale bread. I had "grilled" chicken that was raw in the middle. When I told the waitress and asked if they had a food thermometer, the reply was "No". Avoid at all costs! read more

Love this classic breakfast cafe. Excellent pancakes that are cheap. Perfect for kids, or "morning after" breakfast feast for a few bucks.

Really good breakfast food. Everything cooked to perfection. Only negative is it's a little out of the way.

Our family eats here fairly often. Always hot & fresh food. Friendly service. Plenty of parking. Never had a bad meal here. Easy on budget as well. Will continue to be a customer here. Thanks! read more

I have been to this restaurant twice. The food was delicious. The décor is nice, the restroom was lovely. The waitress was very nice, attentive but not intrusive. She seemed at ease and caring. The concern I have is cleanliness! Nothing seems to be really clean. This includes floors, tabletops, walls, cups and silverware. Will I eat here again? Probably not. I might stop in and see if they have cleaned. If not? No I will not. read more
