    Current breakfast menu
    Nicole C.

    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 ...

    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.

    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)

    Bright cheery service but the food is ok. Canned biscuits and white gravy with no sausage. Decent hash browns. Like others have said, good prices but nothing special in relation to food. Tip: no credit cards. ATM on site.

    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!

    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!

    Fire ass breakfast get you some !!!!

    See all

    I wrote this on my Facebook about my experience while traveling from California:…read more Today I was at a super cute café and ordered breakfast. After a couple of minutes, I went back up to the counter and asked if they had already started making it, because I wanted to change my order. The kitchen was open, so I said to the cook, "Don't worry about it if you've already started. I know my indecision can impact people, and I don't want to be a problem." He looked at me and said, "No, it's totally fine. Would you like some veggies on the side?" "Yes, that would be amazing," I said, and walked back to my table... and burst into tears. It wasn't just what he said. It was the kind energy in his eyes. I felt someone who took pride in what he was making, and who genuinely wanted people to be happy. I found myself asking, why am I crying? Because in a world where so many people in power feel disconnected, where corporations can make us feel like numbers, being genuinely cared for in a small café reminded me how much I love humans. Most people have love in their hearts and are trying to share it in their own small ways. As the world cracks, these simple things are more meaningful than ever.

    I've been here 3 or 4 times and I'm always surprised that it's not more crowded. Always space to…read moresit even though it's not a huge place. They have so many menu options, breakfast, lunch and specials. The Whole Bird is an absolute MUST as well as the breakfast sandwich on the biscuit. Their freshly made bread is perfection. I had the grilled eggplant sandwich which was INCREDIBLE. The hummus was especially pleasing. I do always find the popcorn side a little odd, but there's nothing really wrong with it.
