As a native South Bay resident, and after 4 and a half decades of eating breakfast all over, I finally made time to try this place out. After hearing about it for so long, and having an idea of what to expect, this five star review is fitting….also, my faith in humanity was slightly restored during my visit…I’ll come back to that. Being decades old and an East San Jose staple, and with its name and decor, I made sure to order a side of gravy for my biscuits, and they weren’t bashful on the bowl of gravy….and the breakfast was tasty with plenty for leftovers…for me today it was the service that I experienced in a couple of cool ways that solidified 5stars. My direct service was friendly, swift and felt like home. The staff was attentive and courteous to say the least. Indirectly I was there to witness a young man who ordered and ate, and after packing his leftovers, asked if he could return in 30 minutes to pay for his meal. Reluctantly the staff said yes and collected his info as he left. While it easily could’ve been a straight up dine and ditch sitch, and the staff seemed to take the high road in allowing the fella to simply leave knowing it could be a loss, sure enough in less than 30 minutes the young man returned and paid in full. This alone contributed to my own feeling about humans and the intent we sometimes have. The feeling I had while watching the workers faces as the dude leaves was miserable (and I almost told them to add his meal to my bill), to my own internal warmth when the dude returned and was a person of their word…this was refreshing and reminded me that good folks are indeed out there. All because I visited a Bite of Wyoming…full belly, snack for later, and faith in humanity.

I stopped by for breakfast and the service was great, I really enjoyed my ham and cheese omelette , the pancakes were ok and they give you 2 big biscuits. I left the restaurant full and the price was right.

This is an old school diner that has giant pillowy biscuits and keeps your coffee refilled often. I decided to try something different for breakfast and ordered the buffalo steak. I ordered it medium rare but I think it is hard to cook a steak that thin so it was more rare than medium and no char to speak of. But, that and the two eggs/hasbrowns, kept me well fueled for 7 hours! I took the giant biscuits home and reheated them for another couple meals so I feel like I had good value overall. Definitely would go back!

A bite of Wyoming is not fancy, it's not someplace you go for five star food, it's downhome, comfortable, family style food like your grandmother or mother would make you. The food is hot, fresh, wholesome and honestly simple. I've had burgers, salads, when i go for breakfast I usually have corned beef and hash, it's always dependably delicious, reasonably priced and the wait staff are amazing. I love coming here because it's so simple I can breathe deep, let my hair down, it's not pretentious and it's got comforting, friendly, amazing vibe. Go check it out, you'll be glad you did.

What a great small restaurant. The atmosphere is very good. There is plenty of parking. The service is very good too, it does get very crowded and the place is small. The food was very good and delicious. Service was excellent. Highly recommend this place for breakfast or brunch

This is a classic casual local diner. We had the Breakfast Special with biscuits & gravy, and the Chicken Fried Steak. Both were quite nice! The gravy was thick and flavorful (a little floury for my preference, but very well seasoned), the biscuits were warm & fluffy. Coffee was good, service was good. Completely unpretentious, straightforward good eats.
