I had been wanting to go to Bubby's for brunch for some time and am so glad I finally made it! The place was packed but our group of 6 was seated within 15 minutes. The food was d...

Expect your ""30 minute wait"" for Sunday Brunch to be more like 45-60 minutes. On top of that, expect to wait another 35 minutes after you've placed your order (with no substitut...

Disappointed 7/15/2004

I've tried this place to feel all that fuss for myself and I was very disappointed, 1st the food came out about an hour later and the waiter didn't even say sorry, 2nd the dessert, I mean this is the 'Pie' famous place and believe me I've tasted so much better pies from other places with less money (even at Boston Market). And if you don't like the noisy resturant then AVOID this place, you ears won't appreciated. Pros: Children Friendly Cons: , Bad Pies, Too Noisy more

Fabulous! 7/12/2004

Bubby's is must for everyone visiting Manhattan. The variety and value of the many menu offerings is always amazing. Listen carefully to your server as he or she provides the description of the specials:the creativity is endless and the taste is always wonderful. Bubby's is best at lunch and brunch, and the bright open space provides the perfect ambiance for a relaxing meal! Try to leave room for coffee and dessert, it is well worth it!! Bubby's is a great value! Pros: Brunch, Coffee, Creativity more

Downtown with baby sounds 6/3/2004

There are few truly baby/family friendly places in the downtown area, and Bubby's in one of them. Although I am not of the baby toting set, I know this kind of place meets a certain demand. Family fun aside, the brunch can stand on it's own. I love the Swedish pancakes when they show up on the special. The other breakfast staples are done adequately. I prefer the sour cream pancakes to the regular ones served with the ""Big Breakfast."" They seemed to always be out of the chicken apple sausage that has received so many raves. I wouldn't say Bubby's will blow you out of the water, but they provide a solid bunch served with good coffee. Not that you want dessert to wrap up a syrup topped bacon filled start to a day, but the pies and cakes are delish! Pros: coffee, family friendly, consistent more

Dried Out Biscuits/Overpriced 3/27/2004

I have to admit I was excited to try out this place having never been here before and being that I don't live that far from it. What a disappointment. There were babies everywhere including on the table next to us where a parent decided it was appropriate to change a diaper. The food is way overpriced and those two biscuits they bring out before breakfast were harder than rocks. $14 00 for a frozen waffle with half a banana and a couple of strawberries strewn on top. more

One of the worst dining experiences ever 1/26/2004

Run as fast as you can from this place. The service was awful, the food mediocre at best (and that was the food that actually arrived - one entree arrived a good half hour after the others). And all that after waiting well over an hour for a table. I just don't understand why it is popular. more

Good Place for Twenty Somethings 11/20/2003

Great food, excellent breakfast and comfort food if you are staying in the tribeca/soho area. Usual wait on weekends is about 45 minutes as its very popular with local twentysomethings, celebrity sightings are common, relaxed atmosphere, child friendly as well. Pros: Large Menu, Relaxed Atmosphere Cons: Sometimes Long Wait more

Mediocre at best 10/26/2003

Visited the DUMBO location for brunch. The bad coffee was a harbinger of things to come. My entree was almost unedible, the toast tasted like cardboard & the bacon tasted like the toast, only w/a smoky cardboardy-ness to it. The wait staff must think that I enjoy eating w/my hands b/c I had to ask for the utensils twice! Pros: Family friendly Cons: Bad service, Long wait more

DUMBO BUBBY'S JUST AS BAD AS TRIBECA 10/19/2003

Visited the DUMBO location of Bubby's today, foolishly thinking it might be better than the Tribeca one. WRONG! They bought the same surly staff, it still took way too long for food, drink, ANY SERVICE and the food is still $ 12.95 for 2 eggs, bacon, toast & coffee. It took them 15 minutes to bring a slice of pie to go! There are so many other places to go in Brooklyn, don't bother going here. Pros: good views Cons: bad service, too pricey more

Don't Go 8/27/2003

I went to Bubby's hearing nothing but good things but was terribly disappointed. The service was disjointed, the food was sub-par (I agree with previous reviewer's comment on the biscuits), and the prices were ridiculous ($78 for three to eat breakfast!). Don't go - there are too many other great places out there. Cons: Way expensive!!, Sub-par food more

Ughhh! 7/7/2003

Easily the worst breakfast I ever had. The tables outside wobbled, the biscuit (I think thats what it was, either that or left over over-baked pie dough) was inedible. I flipped at the prices so I just ordered eggs and toast. Eggs were over done, toast was cold. more

Don't be put off! 6/3/2003

It was great, food was excellent, they did the best Bloody Mary I've had in my 17 years of being old enough to order one! And as for the pie, well I don't know if I'll ever taste one as good again. OK, don't expect silver cutlery and a 5 star service, its more of a ""family run"" sort of place. Sorry to see all the negative postings. My partner and I went twice while on holiday in New York, both weekdays at lunchtimes in May. Try at it, a great place to crash after 5 hurs of shopping! Pros: Prices, Pie, Ambience Cons: Service at the bar more

Worst Grand Slam B-fast Ever 3/27/2003

Both times I have been to Bubby's for brunch the food was cold, flavorless, and the condiments non-existent. The table was dirty and sticky. Denny's serves a better Grand Slam breakfast--and at a quarter of the price (I paid $21 w/o tip for b-fast--I went back a second time, because the restaurant was highly touted and I thought the first bad experience was a fluke. Boy was I wrong--the second visit was worse than the first!) Cons: Flavorless, dirty, expensive more

Extremely Overrated 3/12/2003

In a city with as many wonderful restaurants as New York, it is beyond me why so many people rave about this place. Apparently, it's a place where you can see celebs, but if that's what you want, go to Bungalow 8. I live two blocks away and I see more famous people on the street. At Bubby's, the food is average at best, the menu is very limited and completely unimaginative, and the service is indifferent and slow (even when the place is empty). You get the point. It's a waste. Pros: none, none, none Cons: Food, Service, Value more

Rumbling tummy 2/9/2003

Expect your ""30 minute wait"" for Sunday Brunch to be more like 45-60 minutes. On top of that, expect to wait another 35 minutes after you've placed your order (with no substitutions or special requests) for your food to arrive. Biscuits are good and flakey, with the delicious strawberry jam on the table, and the food is good, but overpriced. more

What Scene? 2/9/2003

Went for dinner but thought I must have walked in on a kid's birthday party. Definitely not the scene that the editors of this page suggested it is. At 8:30 on a saturday night there were kids everywhere with bubby's baloons - perhaps if you're an 8-year-old this is the place to see and be seen. But I digress.... Food was mediocre, bloody mary was below-average, pie was great. more

We love Bubby's! 1/2/2003

From the moment we walked in the door we felt like we were at home. I brought my mom and my girlfriend there and they both agreed the meatloaf and the barbecue were the best they've had. The staff was friendly. Even the bartender. more

Why the Hype 12/27/2002

I expected grand things from the way people raved about this place. It didn't happen. The ribs tasted as though it was soaked in vinegar. The fact that I paid for potato chips with blue cheese make who the silly one!- more

OVER-RATED! 11/12/2002

The service is sub-par, and the food is average. The only thing this place has going for it is the occasional De Niro sighting and the outdoor seating. Walker's Restaurant on the corner of Varick and N. Moore has better food, and never a wait! more

Try not on Saturday night! 11/6/2002

Because on Saturday, it's children's day! They can eat for free and there are a lot of families!! Yes, I hit this Saturday and it was so noisy...and quite disappointed by too much grilled meat stuff... My guidebook highly recommended this place, but I feel the quality has been getting down... Pros: Expensive, Noisy more
