6 reviews for Bill's Breakfast & Lunch
I. Am. In. Love.
Granted, I've been here a handful of times, but every time I realize that there's a magical land of sandwich bliss tucked away on a sketchy looking area of sansom, I cannot wait to order something new.
The specials are usually top notch.
And how affordable!
If there's any downside it's that I had to wait for my sandwich a little longer than I would have at a lunch place down the street, but the vegetables were freshly grilled and hot when my sandwich arrive. The portion was huge and absolutely delicious.
I have only dealt with the friendliest and most accommodating staff, which ALWAYS makes me want to come back. I have been recommending this place to everyone!
I usually don't give five stars, but when a place deserves it, it gets it!
I was in town for a conference and Bill's was on the way between my hotel and the convention center. What a gem for quick stop-in breakfasts! Fast, friendly service (I've never been called "sweetie" that many times in a single visit anywhere), and the prices were great. Very affordable for fresh, hot bacon-egg-and-cheese bagels, or even the full breakfast special (which I was hard pressed to finish). If you like good, unfussy diner grub, Bill's gets my vote.
We stopped in here randomly and decided to give it a try, and man I'm glad we did! The prices were very fair (about 5 dollars for a sandwich) and absolutely delicious! I had a spinach panini with fresh mozzarella, green peppers, and tomatoes grilled with extra virgin olive oil on 12 grain bread. The sandwich was superb. The wait was long, but definitely worth it-just something to consider if you are in a rush.
The high-energy petite woman cracks me up; she's great. Bill (bald guy usually workin' the grill) is friendly and will chat it up a bit even when he's in the weeds. I work a block away and hit this place up for breakfast often, especially when I'm feeling "dehydrated." They'll make just about anything you want - I usually opt for a bacon, egg, and cheese wrap - and if you call ahead the order will be ready to rock in 5 or 10 minutes. "Jumbo" sodas in Styrofoam cups! Fair prices in a straight-forward establishment. I dig it.
The place is constantly packed and yes, the food is decent. But the wait is very long and the organization pretty messy. A couple people from the staff should also go back to customer service class...
I tried this spot out for lunch due to a friend's raving recommendation. It was around noontime, which is usually a nightmare in any pizza/sandwich/burger joint in center city. However, Bill's is out of the way enough that there wasn't a long line. I was helped right away, in fact, but had to wait several minutes for my sandwich. The ladies working the counter were very friendly and you could tell they gave their regulars special attention.
The prices are definitely reasonable, on the cheap side compared to nearby places of similar quality. Most everything on the lunch menu was $4-6. Breakfast looked like an even better deal.
The sandwich itself (pulled roasted chicken) was pretty good, but the bun got pretty soggy (pet peeve). The smokey, peppery sauce on it was amazing, but there wasn't enough.
I would definitely try out more of their sandwiches and maybe check out the breakfast, but I work on the other side of Broad and never feel like walking there.
