We live a few blocks away, in the historic district. When we first moved here, we used to come pretty regularly. Interesting menu choices, all twists on classics. The staff is usually right on top of things and attentive. What has turned us off, primarily, is the quality of the food and prep. We once took some friends and the... More

Because I work nights and Billy's only serves breakfast and lunch this was only my second visit. The atmosphere is cozy, the service and food very good. My friend had the Berry Krunch and I copied the description from their menu :Three slices of French bread dipped in our own egg mixture crusted with crunchy granola drizzled with homemade brown...

My 18-year-old son and I went to Billy's for Saturday breakfast. Breakfast and lunch foods are its specialty, and if you're used to the usual diner fare, it will take you a while to translate Billy's menu into things you're used to. It's also a very "energetic" environment for the first thing in the morning: two different flatscreens going and... More

Visited Bethlehem, PA recently without knowing much about the place but the locals and taxi drivers were all raving about Billy's so I was excited to visit as I love US style breakfast. We both had eggs Benedict but unfortunately we didn't enjoy it. Perhaps it's served differently there but I didn't care much for the Canadian bacon, the eggs... More

Drove there after Sat AM class @ NCC . Ample on street metered parking. Short wait to be seated (<10 min) I had the Zesti Omelet. It was outstanding. The coffee was good & fresh. My wife had nutty green salad. Prices were in-line. Seating was typical for a diner but a bit on the tight side.

This restaurant is top notch if you want a great breakfast or lunch. The food is delicous and the choice creative for everyone's tastes. Billy, the owner is usually on premise saying hello to everyone and making sure everyone is enjoying the experience. He is a hands on owner and a very nice and personable man. Go for a good... More

My family of 5 recently went to Billy's Downtown Diner while in Bethlehem, PA. It is a cozy little restaurant. We all ordered different selections from the menu (both lunch and breakfast food) and each was really tasty. Our waitress was friendly and sweet. The owner was also very friendly. So glad I looked up good area restaurants and didn't... More

Billy's is a landmark, and Billy is a trip, he's a dying breed, an owner that has a lot of character and makes sure everything is great.

We stopped here for breakfast in November while visiting the town of Bethlehem. Great place, Be prepared, you may have to wait in line. Would like to go back again and try lunch or dinner. Very friendly staff.
