Bubbys

Recommended by a friend before we arrived and didn’t disappoint.Busy when we arrived but got a seat within 20 minutes and then service was rapid (food arrived within 5 minutes of sitting down)Pancakes were tasty and filling, coffee was strong and mimosas were delicious.Quite expensive for the meal at $120 including tip, more than I would have liked to have paid, but worth it for the experience once.

First time & wont be the last ! Came here with birthday girl for breakfast & the attention/service was so wonderful! The staff is so nice & attentive. They seat you right away. Our waiter was very polite & knowledgeable. We didnt even wait a long time for our food to come out. It was done in no time! Service was excellent & They even surprised my girl with a pie slice for her birthday. Super, super sweet!

The restaurant is definitely super hyped, as you can tell from the long line outside. A reservation is absolutely necessary, as it significantly cuts down your waiting time to just 10–15 minutes. Without one, be prepared to stand in line for quite a while, as the place is incredibly busy. Inside, it’s packed and bustling with energy, which adds to the vibrant atmosphere but can feel overwhelming if you prefer quieter dining experiences. For the Food you just wait 2-5min of u Are sitting on your table.The pancakes are good—fluffy and served with a generous portion of fresh fruit—but they’re not extraordinary or particularly unique. It’s clear that the hype has elevated expectations, which the food doesn’t entirely meet. While the quality is solid, the pancakes don’t offer anything groundbreaking in flavor or presentation. Three pancakes with a nice serving of fruit come in at $26, which feels a bit steep for what you’re getting.However, I highly recommend trying the Buttermilk Balls for $8. These were a standout item—crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside, and bursting with rich buttermilk flavor. They’re smaller, shareable bites that pack a lot of taste and made a stronger impression than the pancakes.The service was attentive despite how busy it was, which speaks to the professionalism of the staff. The ambiance, while lively, might not be ideal for a leisurely breakfast or brunch if you prefer a more relaxed setting. Overall, it’s a good restaurant with decent food, but it’s not worth the hype if you’re expecting a life-changing dining experience. I’d say it’s worth visiting once, especially for the Buttermilk Balls, but manage your expectations and prepare for the price tag.

This Thanksgiving, I decided to try something new and headed to Bubby’s, and it was one of the best decisions I’ve made. The food was absolutely amazing. From the perfectly roasted turkey to the indulgent sides like creamy mashed potatoes and flavorful stuffing, every dish was crafted with care and tasted like home.The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it feel like a big family gathering. And let’s not forget the desserts and the pumpkin pie was a standout, and it was the perfect way to end the meal.If you’re looking for a place that delivers incredible food and great vibes, Bubby’s is the spot. I can’t wait to go back and try more from their menu. Highly recommend!

Made reservations for our trip and definitely recommend not standing in line.Everything we ordered came out above our expectations !The jam is actually creamy and unlike any jam I’ve had before. Must have pancakes of course. Also, a trip around the chicken and pancakes plate is worth the work !ENJOY 😁

We loved this place! Booked a table for 6 people for lunch and we were glad we had, it was busy when we arrived! The place is super laid back with a buzzy atmosphere and good service. The food was really great, my only complaint is the lack of vegan options (just one). But the vegan burger was delicious, and everyone else loved their food, in true NY style, the portions are HUGE. By the time we left around 2:30pm it was much quieter. Note they will only seat full parties for reservations. Its pricey for a casual brunch but worthwhile for good service and some New York staple dishes.

This place was worth the wait. I didn’t realize the line would be around the block for brunch when we got there, but I’m glad we stayed. The food tasted good and they give you huge portions (the little fresh butter cup they give you with your meal is very cute). The service was also great, very efficient; you can tell the staff is used to dealing with this big brunch rush every weekend.

After a 45 minute wait in the freezing cold, we got in!!! It was totally worth it… the sourdough pancakes were just like the ones my husband’s grandma used to make. The potatoes are chunky real ones and the sausage was very flavorful!

A filling brunch in lively setting with indoor and outdoor seating. Food comes out very quick after we order and is generous portion. Staffs are friendly though note that Bubby’s do not seat you unless you have full party and dont take reservation for brunch.Noise level was very high and we could barely hear each other across the table. Drink portion was also not as generous vs other restaurant. Overall, a pleasant meal though would recommend outdoor seating or avoid peak time.

WOW this is a MUST For all pancake lovers!We went here twice while staying in NYC for 1.5 weeks. The pancakes are out of this world, and the toppings were just amazing. We bought a pancake kit so that we could bring the experience home. Obviously we were not able to replicate the feeling but still it was really good. Although I wish we had bought more on our way home.Also, do not hesitate to order the flaky buttermilk biscuits! They are in a league of their own.Big recommendation from Sweden!

Worth the hype. Food was great, coffee not so much (this is coming from picky Australians though). Service was great, nice atmosphere, and generous portions. Def book ahead, or line up as it opens.

Reliably good comfort food especially the biscuits. The line is always long but moves rather quickly in my opinion. The vibe is lively but can be a bit noisy, understandably so. It’s an institution for a reason. Staff is always nice and patient.

Traditional American pancakes in a diner type setting- bottomless coffee and fluffy pancakes that will blow your mind. Service is super efficient- think we only waited 5min for food to arrive. Tasty and huge portions! Highly recommend!

We queued up for a good half an hour, no problems with that, it’s to be expected at a well known establish like this one. As my wife and I reached the front of the queue, I turned around to see another couple who had been waiting a few spots behind us, be greeted by one of the hosts with a handshake and guided to a table. I went over right away and made a point of the fact that my wife and I were ahead in the queue, and I was told that our table would be ready in 30 seconds. Which, it was. Regardless, it left me feeling a little annoyed as I was guided to my table, the host clearly annoyed that I had the cheek to speak up.Our actual waitress was lovely, I wish I had her name.Onto the food. As you can see from the picture, Bubbys are experiencing a shortage of Nutella! 26 bucks for 3 pancakes like that. I promise you there are plenty of recipes online which you can use to make pancakes like these, and you don’t have to skimp on the toppings either. Our waitress was kind and was happy to bring out a whole bottle of it for me, again my thanks to her.All in all, pretty disappointing. I tipped in cash, hoping that tips aren’t shared and it goes only to the lovely waitress who served us.

Had my first brunch at Bubby’s and really enjoyed it! The pancake with waffle chicken was delicious, especially the chicken, which was perfectly seasoned and crispy. The black coffee was strong and well-made. It was quite busy on the weekend, but worth the wait. Definitely coming back!

I had the Turkey Reuben and it was very tasty. The chips were a tad on the thin side and made them quite brittle, but were still nice enough.The pancakes were lovely and my partner couldnt finish them evenwith great help from me. She did say her cold brew was very nice also.We sat outside and it was lovely in the sun. Even though there was a queue it went quick and service was fast. Would definitely visit again.

Food: 5/5All the dishes we ordered were delicious and we devoured everything in 20mins.Dishes ordered: pancake flight, tomato basil soup, avocado toast, biscuits, chicken and pancakes.Pancakes were fluffy and moist, chicken was flavourful, crisp and moist, biscuits/scones were fluffy, toast was tasteful, soup was creamy and delicious with the biscuits. I highly recommend the mixed berry nutella pancakes! The banana walnut one wasnt the best Ive had because the banana flavour was not strong, and the blueberry compote is secondService: 5/5Friendly staff and they were all helpful and attentive. Service was quickAtmosphere: 5/5Nice modern farmhouse vibes. They have a reall ly good wait line system in place compared to other placea

Very nice place for some great pancakes! Kind servers and cosy interior. Be on time if you did not book a table in advance. Its also quite expensive. We paid 63 dollars (excluding tax and tip) for 2 plates of pancakes, a scone and 2 drinks.

I can understand why this place is so popular (friendly service and American diner/family restaurant vibe) but the pancake was nothing special for me and certainly not the best I ever had. The portion was big and I couldn’t finish it by myself. It was a good experience though as I always wanted to come seeing the long line.

Happening all day breakfast scene with great music, lively ambience and wonderful service. Superb breakfast brunch menu with plenty of vegetarian and gluten-free options. Excellent soft drinks including a superb virgin pina colada frozen lemonade. The gluten-free pancakes with berries and caramelized bananas was just perfect. Home fries and home made veggie burger with a plate of Mac and cheese really hit the spot. Great quality and serving size. A lot of fun!

The egg Benedict with salmon was very delicious but the potatoes were burnt. The fried eggs were good as well but I didn’t like the pan cakes not as expected. Prices is not expensive. Service was good

You may have to wait a line at the door but it is the best brunch place in NYC. Avocado toast was delicious, eggs beneditc was very good. You can come just for the pancakes. I liked it so much. 10/10

I enjoyed a great brunch here. I came on a Sunday in spring on a fairly warm day. Outside seating and indoor seating is plentiful but there was a very long line for both. Even though it started raining we stayed on the line for outdoor seating due to the line being 1/3 of the length compared to indoor seating. We waited around 45 minutes. It’s nice that they let you use the bathroom if you need to during your wait in the line.I ordered the chicken and pancakes (I substituted the fluffy pancakes for the thin). The chicken was extremely juicy and well-cooked, a bit mild in flavor (I preferred more seasoned meats). Pancakes were well made and tasty, since it was drowned in syrup I didn’t actually get much of the flavor from the pancake itself. The syrup was tasty and not too sweet which I like. I ordered the house old fashioned which I enjoyed. My friends enjoyed the nonalcoholic beverages that they ordered- I believe an array of lemonades. My friend enjoyed the biscuits and was unwilling to share. My other friend ordered the crab eggs Benedict- she mentioned the muffin was soggy but overall she enjoyed it.I’d probably return- overall it was with the wait. I want to try the dessert.

Amazing! Will definitely return.My friend and I had originally planned to dine elsewhere but realized last minute that the hours didnt work for us. We quickly chose Bubbys as the alternative (Ive had the restaurant in my Places to Go for months).Im so glad we came here instead. It was like destiny. 🙂‍↔️It was packed but luckily it was just the two of us and we were seated quite quickly. We were greeted by JJ who was extremely pleasant then, seated and served by Alba who was also pleasant and knowledgeable. She recommended dishes and drinks to us.We decided to go with the Summer Omelet. Mine was accompanied by the salad which was crisp and virtually perfect and the omelet was well seasoned and filling. For drinks, I had a Bubbys Spritz that was quite tasty and refreshing while my friend had a pink lemonade. We basically inhaled the food.I was so impressed with the customer service that I asked to speak to the manager as I was compelled to tell him that his staff members were incredible and this is a direct reflection of his management! Every one seemed very happy to be at work as well.A special shout-out to the kitchen staff and bartenders for a thoroughly enjoyable meal and well crafted cocktail.🫶🏾

Cute popular spot. We were able to walk right in and be seated without reservations. My Carb Benedict was amazing, real fresh crab meat. My mom had the crab cake sandwich...she rated it 3 😁 needed more seasoning. My husband the Abe Lincoln, the pork sausage was very scrumptious and he rated it 4! The home fires had to be goo because normally he picks out all the onions and peppers and today he didnt which says a lot. Alexa our waitress was kind

Visited during holiday season for a weekend brunch and was an hour wait for a party of 3. Party of 2 was prioritized as easier to seat them. We were attended to almost immediately and received our drinks and food very quickly regardless of how packed the place was. We were not rushed which I appreciated. The food was mostly good. I enjoyed and recommend the pancakes the toppings are delicious and not overly sweet. The deviled eggs flavor was good but was too salty as was the bacon. The avocado toast wasnt that great but the homefries were good. I wish they offered lattes or cappuccino but the coffee was decent and offered free refills. It ended up being a pricey brunch but overall had a very pleasant experience.

Their pancakes are more cake-y than fluffy, so depends on if you like that, but taste great. The green omelet is yum.

A one of a kind spot for good us kitty breakfast. Great servers, happy staff, and nice vibe inside. Food was excellent too. The pancakes are top notch! Come hungry, portion sizes are very generous!

Found this place online from a TikTok recommendation that locals love it here and they were so right! Emma T was our server and she was so sweet, attentive and helpful! Her shining personality made our visit wonderful and she also had us laughing too which makes for such a good experience! The food here was beyond amazing and it was so cool that there is so much of it locally sourced! On top of everything else their service was so fast! Especially for a busy holiday weekend! (We went on Labor Day) There was somehow no wait for a table and our drinks and food were brought out super quickly! You can tell that they have a great staff here by how effective and efficiently they are! I already can’t wait to come back on our next visit!

There are two versions of me. The first was a person who had never visited Bubby’s. This person was a lame, sad, and flavorless person. The second me emerged after I got the absolute delight of dining at BUBBYS! This was spectacular and the pancakes were thick and fluffier than woman who just got a BBL. This was spectacular. They also had an old photo booth that my comrade and I took some memorable photos in.

Loved Bubbys. The nicest pancakes I’ve ever had! Really recommend but you need to reserve ahead of time. Friendly staff 👌

We make reservation few days before, hence no need to wait. Food was amazing! We love everything. Pancake was definitely the highlight!!

Perfect place!I had the “Fried chicken & pancakes” and shared it with my husband, it was perfect for both of us!Also, these were the most delicious pancakes I’ve ever had and the service is so so so good. 10/10!

Fabulous food with a great vibe. Great service. (I am in awe of the hostess directing everyone waiting with proficiency & kindness!)

Id go with a 3.7 stars I could. Its at B- place. People rave and it just isnt anything special. Its fine. Food is fine. Service is fine. Pancakes arent anything to rave about. Ive had better in a good roadside diner. They do have real maple syrup though, so that is a plus. Service is pleasant and efficient enough, nothing great. The prices are far too high for what you are getting. Blows my mind that people wait in a line around the block for a table. Not many other choices in the area though.

This was a positive surprise! We were looking for a typical American food brunch and to our delight we came acroos this place. Staff was welcoming, the place was not crowded on Monday lunch time. The grain bowl is an excellent vegan option if you order without cheese. I loved it. My husband is still talking about the fried chicken with the fluffy pancakes.

Delicious food! We reserved in advance and only waited around 5 minutes. Would definitely recommend making a reservation as the queue gets long.

Definitely understand why theyre considered the best pancakes in NYC, these were SO GOOD! we waited for about 40 minutes for a table on a thursday morning. we ended up sitting outside under the heaters and at first I wasnt too pleased but then when i walked through the restaurant to use the bathroom i was SO glad because inside was SO PACKED i would have been uncomfortable. We ordered a stack of pancakes, side of biscuits, and then a pancake/eggs/sausage platter and devoured everything. Since it was our first time we didnt try any of the fun toppings we wanted to taste the pancakes on their own and they were PHENOMENAL. I dont usually order pancakes cuz theyre usually boring and tasteless but honestly, these barely needed syrup. HIGHLY recommend and wish we had time to go back a second time during our trip.

I ain’t making it up when I say these are THE BEST AND FLUFFIEST PANCAKES I have ever tried. So yummy! Highly recommend ordering them. Sat at the bar. Got a Hibiscus Mojito. Refreshing! The bartender was so nice and friendly!

The food here is good, but not exactly mind-blowing. What really stands out is the super friendly and welcoming service. They have a wide selection of drinks and beverages, which is a huge plus. The atmosphere inside is pretty cool, but it’s definitely on the louder side, so having a conversation can be a bit tough

Though they are crowded most of the times , the service was really fast and we got to dine in quite fast given the line. Food as always too good , I went for huevos Rancheros and overloaded green omlette with green juice. Their home fries are great too, would definitely recommend it.

Everything is really great in this fun restaurant. From its rustic decor, absolutely delicious menu and beyond friendly service we enjoyed every hit of it.Where it failed was in what you would never expect. The bathroom had a long hinge on top of the door which, because the ceiling is so low, makes the sharp edge virtually eye kevel. There are no warning signs. I nearly walked right into it full speed. By the grace of God I missed it by an inch. To say I was upset would be an understatement. It ruined the whole experience.Still, barring that issue, its a place worth visiting.

Good, but not outstanding breakfast fare. Nice bustling atmosphere and friendly servers. The cherry pie and apple pie are noteworthy.

Busy but nice place to have good food. The Huevos rancheros was great..biscuits and homemade jam and butter..just awesome!. Little bit pricey..but if you are on vacation it worth the visit.

The trio of pancakes is PHENOMENAL! 🤌🏼 the banana foster one was my favorite 💯 Ya girl can eat but they are so big and filling, I had to get a box! We went on a Saturday for brunch and even with a line, it moves pretty fast. The restaurant is large and there’s outdoor seating so the wait wasn’t long (for a party of 2). I swear our food was delivered within 5 minutes of ordering it; so fast! I highly recommend the biscuits and pancakes though the hibiscus flavored Arnold palmer was bland and wasn’t worth it.

Please try the Banoffee it’s amazing. Took my friends there and can’t believe these Americans don’t know what banoffee is. Anw food was up to standards got the satisfaction of brunch. Line was a bit long but is worth it! Expected more from the pancake but it was still goodd.

Pancakes w banana and blueberry compote was absolutely amazing and just the right amount of sweetness- would definitely get again! Biscuits were overhyped in my opinion, but the jam is good!

We went because the place is highly recommended on social media and my nephew wanted to give a try and invited us. It was very crowded, and the wait time was moderate. The original pancakes with fried chicken were good, and my husband ordered the chicken kebabs, which he said were very flavorful.

I love pancakes, and these may be the best Ive ever had. You must try the nutella berry pancakes! Cute and unique place. It was busy but didnt feel crowded and the area of town was quiet. Fast and polite service.

Always want to try, always lone lone line. It was a Sunday afternoon, lucky we got seats at the bar without waiting. Tomato soup and cheese bread as our starter, perfect crunch not too hard to bite, they were on the point. I ordered avocado toast with salad aside and added cheese grits, it was tasty, but nothing special. My boyfriend ordered Huevos Rancheros, recommend it! we shared the whole plate, lolFriendly staff, food is nice. Of course we will come back again.

Nice place to have brunch Come early or be prepared to wait on a big line that’s how good the food is there 👏🏼👏🏼

What a fun place. Lots of hustle and bustle to bring you huge portions of breakfast favorites. The waiter was very good and even though pretty busy in there, no rush to move you along. Enjoyed the people watching in there, looked like a mix of local and tourist. Id go back in a flash. Fried chicken is to die for.

Bubbys for life! I think about the pancakes often and will miss them until my next NYC trip. Please try them!I feel like we had such a lucky experience as 4 of us went on a saturday for brunch and were sat within 10 minutes. The service was friendly and pretty quick to start and we got our food in good time too - it wasnt until we wanted to leave that we were waiting around for the bills but it was super busy so totally understandable.Super busy spot but sooo worth a try!

The tomato soup was AMAZING!the place was busy but i didn’t have to wait that much so appreciate that a lot, the workers are really friendly too, the prices are totally affordable (specially for the area) overall im so happy that i found this place

What a jam-packed eatery, the wait is easily 40-50 minutes inside and outside for dining on a Saturday. Worth the hype & certainly up there at meeting expectations.Tried their chocolate chip pancakes and lemonade( from their brunch menu). The fluffiest of pancakes that will fill you to the max. The serving size here is crazy.Overall a great experience 👍

I had heard a lot about Bubby’s from tiktok, so I decided to try with some friends. I got the granola and the famous James Beard pancakes with blueberry compote (got the pancakes to go). The granola was good - no complaints. The pancakes were pretty good. They were very fluffy, but I do think they are too oily - you can taste the oil a bit. So I don’t know if the pancakes are worth the hype, but it’s definitely a cute place to go for brunch with quick service and lots of menu options. Also a very aesthetic inside of the restaurant.

Quick service and good food! My husband and I loved it line wasnt too long either

Great food, I ordered the Bubby Breakfast and a pancake. All delicious. The pancakes are highly recommended, very fluffy. Went on the weekend so there was a line, but definitely worth the wait.

Wonderful place! We loved the pancakes. I ordered the Huevo ranchero with the green rice, but I can say my husband’s choice was better ❤️ the service 10/10

Best breakfast I have had in NYC. Chicken and fluffy pancakes with a mimosa flight truly hit the spot!

Casual place with good food and drinks, and kids’ friendly. You can still enjoy dinner with your little ones.

Great food, very good home-made ice tea, and the pancakes are 11/10 ✨

Wonderful place with outstanding service! You’ll get to experience iconic movie settings while enjoying delicious, high-quality, and generously portioned food. A must-visit!

Everything was delicious and the portions were large and the food was filling! the pancakes were thick and fluffy and the biscuits were delicious

This is our 2nd time stopping in for brunch, and the food was just as great as before. The portions are huge, so you can definitely share. We always get the famous chicken and pancakes, its too good not too!

Great location for breakfast or brunch. Don’t let the line in front scare you as we didn’t have to wait more than 15-20 minutes even though the line was huge! Their food is fabulous and super filling. The pancakes are a must. My recommendation is to order a main dish and a double stack with banana and pecans + berry compote with Nutella, rather than ordering the pancake flight as it’s quite big. This way you get to try multiple items on the menu without wasting food! Over all an easy 5 star from me!

Me and my fiancé went here after walking from Times Square all the way down to Battery park and on a cruise to the Statue of liberty and back.I heard about Bubbys online and knew it would be a perfect little stop off for our walk back and it delivered.I had the pancake flight with 3 pancakes, one with berries, walnuts and banana and the other with a little bit of Nutella and strawberries. You also get a jug of maple syrup too! My fiance had a burger and fries. The portions are good size and we definitely deserved and didnt need anything else big for the rest of the day.I had a cup of tea and he had a beer.Qr code on the table to scan the menu and the service is quick with them coming over and asking what youd like and once checking in on you.Seating inside and out. Delivery, collection and dining in available.Little gifts like pancake mix and mugs.Toilets inside.Busy bubbly Bubbys.

There’s a reason Bubby’s is one of the most well-known breakfast spots on Hudson St. Although they’re known for their pancakes, all of their breakfast items are equally as good. I ordered the salmon bagel and it was delicious, portion size was great. Only downside is it can get really noisy if you’re not the type of person who does well in noisy atmospheres.

Had been here for dinner. We had a reservation although the restaurant was not full. We started with pineapple lime soda and deviled eggs. The drink was very refreshing and deviled eggs were creamy and delicious. We then got pancake flight- blueberry, banana walnut and Nutella pancakes and chicken burger. The pancakes were light and fluffy, not too sweet. Burger was crispy and fries were thin and good. Service was friendly and quick. Tables were too densely packed which was a little uncomfortable. The decor seemed very basic.

I visitied on a Wednesday without reservation I needed to wait 5 min.Sat down and ordered 5 min later the food is served to you. It is an old diner vibe restaurant.The signature Pancakes 🥞 were incredible. The green overload omelette and fries were good but not very special.Main courses costs between 20-26$ wirh beverages you have unlimited refills the costs around 6$.Overall we paid 75$ for 2 dishes and 2 drinks, pretty expensive for tourists but absolutely ok for new york.The service were in a good mood others were horrible unfriendly. So it depends on your luck who is your service person.We left happy and satisfied with a good feeling.

Heaven, I cant think of any other words, the pancakes, the bacon, the coffee, the staff, service, everything was perfect. The size of the pancakes was huge, tasted delicious, we could not finish everything and was offered a box to take out leftovers home.We had the refillable coffee and the staff never let out cups run empty, every member of staff was so helpful, friendly and polite, nothing was too much trouble.I would definitely recommend booking in advance as it was very busy and people who had not booked had a long wait.

Finally, finally got to try their pancakes!🥞 Could be the best American-style pancake I found in NYC would say! Everyone was satisfied with their dish. Overall is slightly pricy, but the portion is huge and food is delicious.They are just doing great and better in general, compared to other brunch place.🥞🍯Pancake? For sure! Don’t know what flavor to order? Just get the flight! And that was what we got. If I have to pick one flavor from the three, I’ll go with the banana & walnut & cream or the classic blueberry.The seasonal dish, 🍴✨Duck hash, was delicious as well. Balanced seasoning, well cooked duck meat with potato. Their housemade sourdough completed the dish.We also had a loaf of rye bread. Outstanding. Took out biscuits with their housemade butter and jam, can’t wait to try!

Loved the place, it was delicious. The jam for the bisquits was amazing. Coffee was good. I had the omelette that has apple in it; was surprised at that combo. It mostly adds texture.

A great breakfast experience in Tribeca. Friendly service, great selection, massive portions. Come hungry! Everything was delicious.

Great food and service with a good atmosphere. I had the Turkey Reuben sandwich, which was top notch. The others in my party had the hot chicken sandwich and the mac and cheese. Both got top marks! Great atmosphere but busy, booking is a must.

Be patience, but this place deserves to be visited 🍽. It exceeded my already high expectations. The food is authentic and thoughtful. Everything tasted delicious. I loves the trilogy pancakes 🥞 extremely fluffy and full of flavor. My daughter is a perfect gastronomy guide and expert of the best places where to go in NY.

Great spot for breakfast and drinks! They offer seating inside and outside.After waiting 20 min for a table we ended up sitting down at the bar.Although the restaurant is super cramped the prompt service and good food made up for it. You will spend a pretty penny on a simple breakfast.$18 for a drink and a simple eggs Benedict is $26.

Food and vibe is good service was lacking. Our waiter was rude and not pleasant luckily for the restaurant the food was good so it didn’t ruin the experience.Order the avocado toast it is one of the best I ever had.

Took 3 bites of the food. Didn’t know something could look sooo much better than it could taste. My friend said deli food tastes better. Wouldn’t come again but it still tasted like food so.

My wife and I shared the Pancake Flight and wow. So delicious and well worth going for. But.... the biscuits were the star of the show today. So warm and fluffy and the butter/jam were delicious. Make sure you get a side of biscuits no matter what you get there! You do sit very close to everyone around you and while I usually dont like that it worked here and provides a sort of charm about the place. Everyone is friendly... probably because the food is so good!

Top 3 veggie burger. Fries were perfect. We came at 1pm, they sat us abt 20 mins later. Service was quick, we got a nice corner table. Love this place!Came back for brunch on a Sunday in May. We ate inside - came at 11:15am and sat shortly before noon. The line moves quick. The pancakes are everything people say they are!

Always have to get the pancake fight to share! Tried the avocado toast this time and love it! So much flavor and they don’t skimp on the avocado! The line is organized and the employees are good at keeping things moving.

Amazing food. Their pancakes flight is amazing if you can eat lot of pancakes.We ordered veg burger with fries, which was okeyish.2 non veg dishes were very good too. Hot chocolate is good and not too sweet. We also tried Mimosa which were good.Highly recommend to try their Biscuits. This might be the best you will every eat!

Food was very good. Fall omelet with bacon cheddar and apples. Side salad. Eggs benny was ok sauce was thin and ham lacked flavor. Veggy chili was good but a little small compared to other dishes. French fries were perhaps the best ive had. Very touristy but empty at 3-4pm. Service was good. I despise the digital menu....

I’ve known about this restaurant for a long time. When I was learning about baking pies I took out the restaurant’s cookbook about pies. At that time I thought this restaurant must be really good if they have their own cookbook about pies. Although I finally visited the restaurant after all this time it wasn’t for the pies. I came with one of my best friends for brunch. There was a really short wait on line but we managed to get a table. My friend ordered an Arnold Palmer. He said he liked it. I ordered an iced coffee with oat milk. I thought it was so cute that they put their beverages in mason jars. We both shared an order of the buttermilk biscuits. They were really good. They were still warm from the oven. My friend ordered the fried chicken with grits. I ordered the Abe Lincoln breakfast. Unfortunately I have a little critique about the grits. My friend remarked they were lumpy. I agreed with him. Other than that we had an enjoyable meal that we were stuffed at the end. I really want to come back again to try the sourdough pancakes because I heard the restaurant is popular for them. I also definitely want to try the pies. Lol! Especially the banoffee pie. Overall my friend and I really had a nice experience at Bubby’s. I can see why it’s a classic restaurant of New York.

Love coming here for breakfast! Everything Ive ever tried is so delicious!

Brunch here was amazing but please be warned, the portions are massive! You can probably share a plate with who ever you are eating with. Also, this place normally has a line outside. It is very popular. Be prepared to wait outside or make reservations. The fried chicken is soooo good!!! You must try the sangria flight too 🙂

Came through on a weekday afternoon and outside seating was available. There would have been a 20 minute wait to sit inside. The outdoor space is covered and comfortable on a summer day. The waitress forgot a few key order notes, so I took away a star for that, but the chicken sandwich with chili oil was very good and not too spicy. The lavender mimosa was tasty, but definitely artificially flavored. They have vegan friendly options and a sizeable menu. Would go again.

Best pancakes I ever had in my life… fluffy and moist. The ones I got came with seeet bananas and walnuts… I asked for extra butter m, because why not 🤷

My niece is visiting New York, she is Brazilian. I wanted to show her a great pancake and decided to go here after some search and what a placed. The pancake was amazing and can easily feed 2 people, maybe 3 if they are not super hungry.The burguer was ok, nothing special.

Pancakes are a must. Their salmon bagel is good too.The place is really crowded so I suggest you arrive early

The pancakes were extremely overrated, disappointing because I’ve been seeing them everywhere. They don’t have any flavor. They cover it up by putting all this stuff on top but if you get them plain, they are so flavorless. Do not wait on line for these. The other food was better- got the grilled cheese and tomato soup.Lots of kids and very loud, service was ok though.

The service and the atmosphere are great. The food is good too but the pancake are very heavy and you don’t enjoy them. It’s a pity. Because really very thing is perfect, also the food is good but it’s too much and when you get up you feel bad and there is a lot of wasted food.

Sat at the bar for brunch on a Thursday. Even though I had a reservation, they were able to seat me early. The staff was friendly and the ambiance was nice. I found this place by accident from another reviewer on IG. The banana walnut pancakes were exceptional!One of my favorite things was the biscuits. This is a must have if you go. They were very generous on their coffee refills. No extra charge either. Overall, the service was great. The food came out very fast and it was good. I absolutely will return to Bubby’s!

This place is an extremely popular spot for brunch, and its easy to see why! The food is delicious, but be prepared: reservations are recommended since it can get busy. Unfortunately, they dont take reservations on weekends, so expect long queues outside during those days. Plan your visit with this in mind to avoid waiting too long.The menu features all the usual American breakfast and brunch favorites. One standout dish is the pancakes—they’re thicker than usual and incredibly fluffy, making them a must-try! Our guests were trying American breakfast food for the first time, and they absolutely loved it.If youre a coffee lover, be aware that they only serve drip coffee, with no espresso or other coffee varieties available. It’s good to know before you go!Seating options include both indoor and outdoor areas, each with separate queues. The indoor seating area is medium-sized, but due to its popularity, it can get crowded and noisy. While it’s not a dealbreaker, it’s something to keep in mind.Overall, this brunch spot is definitely worth a visit, just remember to plan ahead!

Me and three friends really liked it there. Youll be seated immediately and the menu is straightforward. We got the pancakes and some fried on the side and it was really delicious. I would recommend sharing the pancakes because the portion sizes are quit big. The drip coffee was also good.

Fantastic spot, only slight criticism was the door person.Food was brilllaint, bar staff very friendly. I’ll be back

Was looking for somewhere for breakfast near Tribeca and a helpful passer-by directed us to Bubbys. So lucky! This is one of the finest breakfasts weve had! There was a bit of a queue for larger parties, but as there was only two of us we managed to be quickly seated. The food and service is phenomenal and the buzz of the restaurant is vibrant. Cannot recommend Bubbys enough do not miss!

Place was super crowded and I can tell it getsa lot of traction and due to that it kinda takes while to get served. But other than that the food was really good. Pretty pricey but really good would come back again

Staff were unwelcoming and disorganized, once i was seated, my server waant polite. food was overprices for what it was, and it was okay. wouldnt come back

Didn’t have a reservation and was able to do brunch on a Saturday easily with a party of three. Don’t let the line outside scare you, moved fast. This was worthy of the hype, the food was amazing and the hash stole the show we couldn’t stop eating it!

My girlfriend and I ate breakfast consisting of pancakes, omelettes and sausages.The pancakes were fluffy but humongous, three was enough for the two of us. The sausages were a bit too salty for my girlfriends liking. The omelettes were okay, nothing outstanding.

They offer breakfast and dinner type food all day long. They have a good reputation for pancakes.So we ordered sourdough pancakes, buttermilk, pancakes, and banana nut pancakes, which had caramelized bananas, and toasted walnuts. They put organic maple syrup on the counter. It’s not a thick syrup. It’s watery,so don’t pour it out fast. It taste amazing. It actually accents the flavor of the pancakes. We put bacon and sausage on the table as well. That always goes good with pancakes. the menu is a barcode thats glued in the middle of the table. You scan it with your phone and you can see a wide variety from fresh pies,burgers,bagels, avocado, toast.,salads and more. You could come back here 10 times over and eat different foods. There’s plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. They sell souvenirs and buddy clothing along with the maple syrup.

Pancake flight is a great option to have the three options in one dish. 2 out of those 3 were great, the other one was mid at best.Sides are a bit expensive for the size.

Best brunch from downtown. Excellent food, fresh, best pancakes, good service, fast and efficient, you cant book but there is enough place and good organisation so you will find fast a place. Indoor little bit noisy so if you prefer calm environment stay outside. We recommend at 100% but I reduce to 4 stars because we tried a second time take away and it was disappointing on food quantity and missing goat cheese on avocado toast...

Pancakes!!!!!!We went to several different breakfast spots for pancakes, which were amazing in all honesty, BUT Bubbys are the king of pancakes!!The pancakes are so soft and fluffy, and they go so well with either chicken or blueberries. They fill you up nicely, and you get a large bottle of maple syrup for the table, which would probably increase this rating to 6 stars if I had the choice to do so.The atmosphere is friendly and the service was really quick. The pancakes were definitely made fresh, but they came out so quickly, which was nice. This is THE pancake spot. 🥞. Yummy.

One of my favorite brunch places in the city and never disappoints. Ive been twice so far, but it always proves delicious. We did go on a Sunday, so Id recommend going early before 10 am to beat the rush. I definitely recommend getting the biscuits at any time of day, they are just amazing. The pancakes with Nutella are also great.

Would recommend coming in a weekday so you can get a reservation because even on a Friday the line was out the door - but I can see why! The pancakes are truly phenomenal, so light and fluffy. I got the chocolate chip & whipped cream topping and the berry compote. The chocolate was great at first but got a bit sickeningly sweet after a bit - but the berry compote was perfect. I could only get through half of them but would come back and share next time! Staff was very kind and welcoming.

Food was amazing. Servers were great at staying up on our water and checking in at just the right times. I had sourdough grilled cheese sandwich with tomato soup. It was excellent. Hot chocolate with homemade roasted marshmallow was great. Their pie was to die for. Only dislike is we had two small children and needed one high chair. All the tables were so close to each other everyone walking by kept tripping over my childs high chair and my chair. Very annoying, but not horrible. I loved the atmosphere. Very coffee and cafe vibes.

No reservations on Saturdays, walk-in only. The biscuits were fantastic! I loved the butter and jam they brought with it. Our pancakes came out really quick and were good, but not amazing. Not a great spot to catch up with friends because of the loud music.

Definitely a mediocre place on all levels. Honestly after hearing about it for so many years I decided to finally come. Food was not as I expected at all. Pancakes tasted like raw biscuit dough dipped in syrup. Eggs were very runny to be scrambled. Service was not great at all. One waiter at brunch today with shorts really gave off a bad vibe. He just kept prancing by giving off stares. Then when I tried to get assistance he totally ignored me as if he didn’t hear/see me. I was stunned at the lack of smiling faces in addition to him and staff that were not pleasant. The most courteous were the staff who sat us at our table who were at the door. Atmosphere was not bad prices weren’t either I suppose. The bathrooms were a little creepy. Reminded me of a subway low key and they’re for both genders. For the brunch to be their strong point and not make me feel like this place is worthy of five stars. I will not be back again.

Was a total victory considering we had no res on a Saturday night and 5 hungry people. They care more about brunch -- it closes early, its noisy in the dining room and too brightly lit but somehow the vibe is still pretty great and the food is solid.

Had a quick visit in the city and found this spot. The menu actually reminded me of my visit to Asheville, NC. Very homey, good comfort food. Lots of different non-alcoholic drinks to choose from. I had a sourdough grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup- was delicious. And shared with my table the Bacon Mac N Cheese- I definitely recommend that. I would come back!

Open. Bright. Good energy but not too noisy. We’ve been here for breakfast before and loved it. Came back for dinner with our adult kids. Everything was great. The chicken skewers was prob the best. The burger was good as always. Had to get the fluffy pancake flight. And the deviled eggs were perfect.Big fan of the unlimited ice tea - I had to drive afterward.

I was only in New York for 4 nights however I managed to fit this place in twice. One for breakfast and once for lunch.Both times the food was very very good. My wife was just as happy and put her pancake breakfast as one of her top 3 meals whilst in the USA.I would definitely recommend Buddys.

The worst thing was that it was too noisy to enjoy brunch. Pancake tastes like flour.

Second time here, and it was better than the first! The chicken and pancakes are popular for a reason and are a must try once in your life kinda deal. The Biscuits with homemade jam and butter is really delicious ( Red Lobster Biscuits who?) I enjoyed the Biscuits and chili gravey,it wasnt heavy and full of alot of greasy fats and paired well with the potato hash that comes as a side option. The lemonade are quite sweet, so if youre sensitive to that kinda thing, they have plenty of other drink options. The service was great, and the staff were really friendly despite how busy it was. Price per person isnt bad either( it was 83 bucks all together and will post the bill later). Will definitely be a returning customer 🤗☺️!

I will be coming back over and over.I loved this place from the timeliness of the seating (I had a reservation) to the decor it was just so good. The music was the right vibe and level where you could hear it but it wasn’t drowning out your company.Now to the food. Amazing - I had the hot chicken sandwich which I found to be just so good. Not exactly creative but an excellent delivery of a classic sandwich.My company had a classic breakfast with pancakes that I also tried and they were to die for!We also ordered the deviled eggs for the table and I loved the unique take on deviled eggs. I even saw a celebrity here! There were so many different kinds of people which I also appreciated! Lastly the art was really cool!

Arrived about 9am on a weekday. Waited for about 20 min.Cute, lively place.Had Abe Lincoln Breakfast that was huge. All items on the plate was tasty. Nice fluffy pancakes.It could have been nice if I was informed in beforehand that the sad piece of american cheese on top of my grits would mean additional cost of $2.
