Best breakfast. The eggs with the potatoes are delicious. The pancakes with the chicken looked really good, so try them. I went in December, so I had to make a line. I got there ate 8am and enter right away even though there was already a line of people waiting to be seated. Worth the wait. Really good. Even their green juice taste well.

I don't typically eat breakfast BUT, it was my last day in NYC and I'd been up all night. My lovely friend offered to take me for breakfast and we ended up at Bubby's in Tribeca. There was a bit of a queue but luckily a table for two was available pretty much immediately. The vibe inside is lively and welcoming, staff are polite and professional. The menu is extensive without being overwhelming and they focus on "from scratch" traditional American cuisine without forgetting the diverse blend of people and cultures that have contributed to America's flavourful food scape. Our meal was absolutely delicious, I decided on traditional pancakes, with raw banana slices, maple syrup and crispy bacon. The pancakes are AMAZING thick and fluffy without being doughy inside and VERY filling. My friend had the Abe Lincoln Breakfast which was also tasty and filling, the home fries were the standout for me. Bubby's has a varied drinks menu, including cocktails, mocktails and plenty of hot drinks. I've heard their hot chocolate is particularly good and I look forward to trying it on a future visit. My hibiscus iced tea was refreshing with the right balance of sharp and sweet, the iced teas also have unlimited refills. If you can't tell already, I highly recommend Bubby's!

Came here to try their pie and was blown away by their pancakes as well. Arrived around 10:30 on a Friday morning and there was a line. The longest weight was for parties of two, but my party was at three, so we only had to wait 5 to 10 minutes for a table. Elevated southern breakfast diner with really pleasant weight staff. I absolutely loved the chicken and pancakes - you get half a bird and their fried chicken is VERY crunchy. You also can’t miss their sour cherry pie! The crust is flaky and chewy, which is a very hard combo to achieve. Adding to my casual restaurant rotation!

I loved Bubby’s so much I went three times during my one-week trip. The breakfast was consistently amazing — everything tasted fresh, comforting, and full of flavor. Such a great spot for a cozy, classic brunch. The only downside was that the hostesses weren’t the most welcoming, but once seated, the food and overall experience definitely made up for it. I’d still absolutely come back.

These might be the BEST pancakes I've ever had in nyc! So thick, fluffy but still flavorful! The eggs and sausage were also good! 10/10 worth the wait! Also the photo booth downstairs is so vintage and cute!!

I wanted to try the hyped Bubby’s pancakes that everyone talks about. We went on a Sunday around 2 PM and had to wait about 40 minutes, which is probably normal for a popular brunch spot in NYC on the weekend. The staff was very friendly and the interior was cute. However, our table was next to the window and it was quite cold there. The food was good, but not something I would say is significantly better than other good brunch places in NYC. We ordered the green omelette with potatoes, fries, and apple chicken sausage, as well as the pancakes with banana, berries, and Nutella. Overall, it’s a solid brunch spot, but given all the hype, I expected a bit more.

Absolutely amazing. Award winning pancakes for a reason. But Absolutely serving 100% comfort foods. Amazing turkey pot pie. I mean the kind that warms you to your absolute soul on A cold dreary day. Only docking a star because we realized halfway through the meal they allow animals in the restaurant and If its not a service dog I don't personally prefer that involved in my dining experience.

We’ve tried stopping by here for brunch before but it gets incredibly busy, so we decided to give their dinner a try instead. The place was still relatively busy but the service was great throughout the night, we actually tried using their photo booth they offer downstairs which unfortunately malfunctioned, but we were refunded for the error which was appreciated. As for the food, I thought the biscuits were great, I usually find them dry at other places but these were great. The pigs in a blanket weren’t my favorite, but I did find their place on the menu to be welcoming as an uncommon appetizer. Our entrees were the grilled cheese and tomato soup and the Bubby burger 2.0, both of which I’d consider above standard but nothing particularly special. I’ll have to add more to my review if we ever manage to make it for brunch, but a solid dinner if you’re wanting to try.
