bill smith's cafe

sickening. felt i was going to get sick after eating there.placeisnt very clean

this is a unique and coolplaceto get your breakfast. think route 66 or something out of cars. the review is a 4.0 and not 5 because (1) the steak for the steak and eggs is awful. they don't even try, so you should not either and (2) they are not picky about who they hire as waitstaff. sometimes (2) is a colloquial plus. just as often its not. so: no steak, bring cash, good luck with your server.

i only ate at bill smith's once about 3 years ago because my youngest son wanted to go there for breakfast. the poor experience caused me to skip going back there again.
first we sat within proximity of the restroom. not sure what was going on that day but the smell of sewer (poop) just permeated on our whole row. then i made the mistake of touching underneath the table with my fingers to pull myself closer and apparently there was gum (and plenty of it) underneath the table.  disgusting.
then i discovered that my coffee cup was dirty and so were the utensils we were given. when my breakfast was delivered the eggs were undercooked and not wanting to complain i ate them and drank the coffee (which tasted burnt).
half hour later i was nauseus and wanting to throw up.
i have been to greasy spoons before (having grown up on new york city diners)
and have always enjoyed the home cooked taste of diners, but thisplacejust struck me as dirty and the food was nothing spectacular. to this day i can't understand why its so popular. my oldest son described it in one word "gross".  youngest son just thought the gum, poop smell, dirty utensils, watching obese people pig out was all funny.
i gave it a two star for friendliness. hopefully-since then-they have "cleaned up".
as for me, i'll stick to places like spoons, lamadelaine or lepetite grill in frisco.

disgusting. i am very disappointed. i heard that thisplacewas good. powdered gravy, under seasoned eggs, hash browns tasted like a kit. cheese on top of my wife's meal was kraft single!!! how hard is it to sprinkle some freshly grated cheese. service was fair. two things that were passable - pancakes and biscuits. do not put that nasty gravy on the biscuit.

i don't get it. i had a horrible experience. i should have walked when i noticed the filth and heard someone holler at me from somewhere to find a table. thisplacedoesn't know how to serve food. my mother and i ordered ham steak with an egg. she wanted biscuits. i wanted toast. so when we finally got our order in, a while later comes my mother's biscuits...they sit for a while so she decides to nibble. then my toast gets plopped on the table and sits. so i finally start eating toast. three slices later my plate comes with a steak knife to cut the ham. my mom watches me start eating and later gets her plate, without a knife. she uses mine. so by that time, i'm sick of the place...i then realize they are cash only!!!! ugh! really?!! they state they have a cash machine, it's broken. so i ask..what happens when someone has no cash and machine i'd broken?..i'm directed to banks down the street. i decide to walk cross 380 to winco because parking here is also bad and i didn't want to lose my spot in the very cold morning. so after crossing 380, paying a fee for cash,and . horrible dining experience...i'm done!!.never again!! and i agree with abother person's review..how do they pass inspection? if the front is bad, the back has to be a nightmare.

not sure how to describe it other than "ehhh". nothing was great and theplaceis extremely dirty and grimy. no clue how it passes health inspections. i thought the airvent above was going to drop a half centery's worth of dust on me at any minute. your money is better spent elsewhere.

great place. awsomeplaceto eat ,can't get any better.food is great,service is great .personal got it together.love the decor.

staff is very friendly, but not always prompt. however, theplaceis always busy for breakfast. beware: the bathrooms are neither clean nor large.

home style food.... good food. they are only open for breakfast. theplaceis very affordable.

ths only negative i choose to share is they have no handicap restroom facilities.
