Left NYC and I'm still thinking about this spot! Everything about this place was just so nice. We honestly came here based on a few recommendations I saw regarding the pancakes (had no clue about the JFK Jr. connection until afterwards !). On a weekday at 11am, we waited about 20 minutes for a table for 2, no reservation. I really appreciated how efficient the staff was in keeping everyone organized and moving. The service was friendly but not overbearing. Of course we had to get the pancake flight which was as delicious as I dreamed about, and we also got the eggs Benedict. I only tried the potatoes on that, but they were really good and probably worthy of getting on their own. My favorite pancake was probably the banana pancake! I think breakfast for two came out to $60-$70 which is a little steep but I felt the food was worth it! Portions are nice and generous and I'd recommend coming hungry -- I had a hard time finishing the pancakes. Overall, excellent experience and I can't wait to come back! read more

Our food at Bubby's was very good; the only downsides were that the prices were on the higher side and service was weird. I had the Cobb salad which was delicious, and probably the best one I've had out to date. It had very very fresh crispy lettuce tomatoes and avocado, crispy bacon crumbs and tender roasted chicken, with perfectly hard boiled eggs and flakes of sea salt on top. I asked for goat cheese instead of blue cheese which they easily accommodated. It added a delicious creamy tang to the salad, and worked well with the red wine vinegar dressing. My boyfriend got the meatloaf which was so comforting and rich, with very buttery mashed potatoes and crispy onion slivers on top. The only downside of our experience was the service. When we arrived (at 5 on a weeknight) the entire restaurant was empty. We were seated right against a support beam in the center of the room which was a weird choice. I asked the waitress if we could move to a booth but she told us we had to ask the host. Again weird because the whole place was empty. I went up and asked the person who checked us in and he said it should be fine, so we relocated, but there seemed to be a miscommunication between the staff because our food was brought to the wrong table. Our waitress was nowhere to be found so we got up to get our food, but then a waiter noticed and brought it to us. Not a dealbreaker just strange. Good food though. read more

This was one of my favorite places we ate while in New York City. So good in fact that when I got home I ordered a batch of their pancake mix to be delivered to my home. The food here was incredible, and if you don't eat the pancakes that's fine but prepare to live with that regret for the rest of your life. The restaraunt seems to always be busy, so I wouldn't say our service here was the best. But- the incredible food made up for it. Another fun thing about this restaurant is the vintage Photo Booth in the basement. Make sure to use it but be prepared to wait for your photo strip! Also- be sure to make a reservation! read more

Very cute exterior! We sat outside and on a weekday, there was available seating for walk-ins. I ordered the sourdough pancakes with mixed berries and nutella as a topping. The presentation was beautiful and the portion size quite fulfilling, I had to get a takeaway box. First bite is delicious, the sweetness of the nutella complements the tartness of the berries and pancakes. I do feel that as you continue eating them, the sourness becomes more apparent and somewhat challenging to get through. I'm interested in trying their other breakfast options or pancakes since the sourdough pancakes are ultimately not for me. I highly recommend the fries! They are thin and crispy!! read more

Came here with a group of friends on a Sunday around 2PM. There was a long line for both indoor and outdoor seating. They don't accept reservations, so there's no way around it, you just have to wait it out! Surprisingly enough, both lines moved fast. We waited in line for about ~15 minutes. Servers were quick and efficient. Food also came out very fast! If you are coming here for the pancakes, I highly recommend the pancake flight, comes with 3 different types of pancakes to taste. All were delicious. The omelet was also a decent size. We shared this amongst 3, and were satisfied. I'd come back again, to try their biscuits! If you're looking for a more chill place where you can drink and hang out for hours, this is not the place. Given the long wait, servers are fast and try to turn over the tables/place quick. read more

Came here for brunch on a busy Saturday morning with the lines out the door but we somehow, some way, ended up being seated pretty quickly as a group of six. This neighborhood staple, American flare, super popular brunch spot is all about cooking scratch made with a very homey feel. Their James Beard pancakes are a must. They're extra fluffy and filling, so sharing is highly encouraged. Be sure to order their flaky biscuits served with fresh butter and jam, you will thank me later. Also, their little coffee mugs are tbe CUTEST! We also ordered a little something savory and got the huevos rancheros (minus the eggs). Soooo flavorful and delicious! Loved this spot, the energy, the food and the great company we were with =) Also, we sat in the same area as The Devil Wears Prada, like what??? read more

Loved the pancakes here! Great flavour, not dry, crispy and fluffy at the same time. Pete t with the homemade strawberry jam! Service was great! Not rushed to leave which was nice. read more

I don't know if I could love this place even more. The food is incredible...I'm still daydreaming about all that I had and can't wait to return. Their pancake flight: oh my goodness. YESSSS. Stick an IV in me of just this. Must get. Nice and fluffy, so fresh, 3 different flavors. Huevos rancheros: typically not my thing, but theirs was divine. I especially love their cilantro rice. So zippy in the best way. Fried chicken: it was nice, mostly juicy, but surprisingly bland to me. I wouldn't necessarily get this again. Deviled eggs: they're nice but not showstopping, so probably would try something else! Their service is also very quick and friendly, despite bustling with so many customers. Inside and outside seating. Both nice! read more

Great brunch spot and the food is always comforting! It's usually a less wait if you're a larger party. We've been multiple times now and we've waited no more than 5 minutes when we have larger parties of 6 or more. Wait times can get longer if you're a group of 2 or 3. Their fried chicken is some of the best I've had. The pancakes are always fluffy and very filling. I prefer the sourdough pancakes only because they're thinner and not as heavy. They have great fresh oj as well. The vibe inside is always fun and good energy in the mornings. read more

Lucked into a reservation here at 8am while in NYC for breakfast. We grabbed the subway and headed here, showing up about 7:35am. With them opening at 8am, we had a wait and I realized there was an area to wait for a table inside seating. So I stood in that area and in what felt like the blink of an eye-- there was a line behind us. At 8am we walked in and were sat quickly. I ordered a coffee (they didn't have apple juice) and the table came with water. I ordered the Bubby's breakfast which comes with eggs - I did scrambled with cheese - a slice of toast, home potatoes and bacon. This was a solid spread - and I really really liked the potatoes. We also shared the pancake flight which had banana and walnuts, Nutella with raspberry, and blueberry. These were very good as well. Overall it was good here - but I found myself unsure why it's such a busy place with a hard reservation. Would recommend and would come back. read more

Bubby's is an excellent elevated brunch spot that serves brunch every day from 8am-4pm. I went for brunch on a Wednesday at 11am. There was a short line outside. We were a party of 2 and waited about 15 minutes before being seated inside, not long at all - though I was impressed that they had such a line on a weekday! I went with 1 friend, and we each got the Bubby's Breakfast with scrambled eggs, home fries and sourdough toast. I kept the bacon, and my friend substituted it with sausage. We also got the Pancake Flight to share - 3 James Beard pancakes with 3 kinds of fruity/sweet toppings. The Bubby's Breakfast was delicious! They've taken standard comfort food breakfast plate items and elevated them. The flavors are great and balanced. The James Beard pancakes are based off of a James Beard recipe. They are thick and fluffy, and the the cream and fruity toppings taste fresh. It's a pretty large dish, great for sharing! The restaurant was bustling but not noisy, and the service was friendly and efficient. It is clean and comfortable. It's nice but feels casual. They also have some outdoor seating. I have already recommended Bubby's to others, and I plan to return when I'm in town! read more

Fun meal at downtown breakfast hot spot Bubby's. The line was 25 deep at 9:30 on a Monday. Fortunately they take reservations, which were honored to the minute. Seating is crowded. Tables are close and space is maximized to have as many tables as possible. Interior is old-time diner style with high ceilings, round lights and tables/chairs to match the era. Service is quick, if brusque. But hey, this is NYC. Time from order to service about 10 minutes. Tried the Abe Lincoln - a big plate with 2 eggs, pancakes, bacon, sausage home fries and grits. It was everything it was supposed to be and more. Eggs cooked perfectly sunny-side up. Fluffy pancakes, crisp bacon and sausage. Crispy and well-seasoned potatoes. Definitely more than you should eat for breakfast but worth every calorie. Others around the table tried a flight of pancakes - several varieties and several toppings. The sourdough pancakes are really good - thin and tart. All in all a very good breakfast. Not sure I'd wait in line for an hour, so a reservation is a must. It is not inexpensive - $150 for 4 with no alcohol. My only disappointment was that there wasn't challah French toast and matzo brie. It is called Bubby's after all. read more

One of my fav brunch places in NYC! DO NOT get intimadated by lines outside because even on weekends the staff is pretty good at getting you tables.

Amazing experience and well worth the wait!! Got here on a Sunday around 12 and waited 20 min in line before getting 2 spots at the bar. Our server/bartender was very attentive and helpful with helping us choose from the menu. We got the sourdough pancakes which were thin and delicious, we got them plain and dressed them w butter and maple syrup, perfection! Followed w The B.A.L.T Sandwich with homestyle fries, a spring omelette with fruit and the vegetarian mac n cheese. Everything was exceptional and delicious and we look forward to our next brunch here! read more

Had heard a couple of time about this place and had to try it. Unluckily chose a wrong day to visit as we had to wait for about an hour in the queue outside on a Saturday afternoon (Brunch time). But it was absolutely worth it. We ordered avocado toast, veggie burger and a Pancake (with walnuts and banana toppings). Found the bread from the avocado toast to be soggy and had gone very soft but taste was delicious. Burger was definitely tasty and up to our expectations but would have enjoyed more sauces as it felt a bit dry after some point. And Pancake was the star of our meal. I am not a fan of sweet breakfast, but I totally get the hype. Absolutely loved it and will be back soon again! They also have outdoor seating area which was accessible on the day we went as it was a sunny day. The place is pretty packed (specially on weekends). About the place, it was vibey with a nice ambience! Our server was very nice and patient with us. Had the best brunch on a weekend!! read more

After all the buzz I had heard about this place (and seeing Anne Hathaway's character dine here in The Devil Wears Prada 2), I am here to say that it does live up to the hype! I really enjoyed the biscuits, pancake flight, iced coffee with oat milk, and bubby's breakfast combo (eggs, chicken sausage, house potatoes, and toast). Our server was diligent, attentive, and gave great recommendations on what dishes to order. As crowded as it was inside the restaurant, we were seated in a corner table, so we were still able to have great conversations while having brunch. The service was quick for each item ordered, which was also impressive due to the amount of seated customers. Each item tasted fresh and we were impressed by the high-quality ingredients mentioned on the menu. The pancakes were fluffy and light, wonderfully paired with berries, nutella, walnuts, and whipped cream. I hope to visit this restaurant again soon! read more

Bubbys is worth the hype, unfortunately. Sometimes "viral" places are totally overrated and sometimes they deserve every person who walks in the door. Bubbys falls on the positive side of that spectrum. We lucked out with a reservation and to be honest, if we had walked up and seen the line without one, there's no way that we would have stayed. This place runs like a well-oiled machine. No flaws in service or food. Atmosphere is adorable and they sell lots of great souvenirs/take home items including their famous pancake mix. The pancake flight was the highlight of our meal, so I did take some to go and it was wonderful when cooked at home, as well. read more

We went to Bubby's to celebrate a few special moments with my manager and colleagues. We had a strong year this past fiscal and wanted to celebrate the team's accomplishments, as well as welcome a new hire who recently joined us. A few of us had never been before, but the line forming outside made it clear this spot was worth the wait, and it absolutely was. If I remember correctly, we were seated toward the back near the kitchen. The space is a bit cramped, but that's not something I personally mind since I like being able to interact and chat with the people I'm dining with. That said, it's something to note if you prefer a bit more space while eating. A coworker and I couldn't decide what to order, so we split the pancakes and a burger, and both were fantastic. The pancakes especially stole the show. Once we learned they were James Beard-inspired, it all made sense. They were incredibly fluffy, and honestly, I'm still dreaming about them. Overall, this was a great brunch spot, quick, efficient, lively, and absolutely delicious. A perfect place for group celebrations or a classic NYC brunch experience. read more

Great service and staff. House fresh squeezed orange juice perfect. Coffee and hot tea both on point! Pancake flight excellent, fresh compote delicious. Counter maple syrup yummy. We ordered over medium eggs. Came very runny. Barely over easy. Home fries a little greasy. Sour dough bread excellent. Very pricey for breakfast but a top quality breakfast. Very fast service even though it was packed. Bathrooms in nice big private stalls which are clean and smell nice. Good touch for city breakfast spot. Will return only on special occasions due to pricing. read more

Food is very good! Service is top tier! There will be a wait no matter what so just prepare for that and you will have to be outside so either bundle up if you go in the winter or bring shade if it's the summer. Personally, I think that it is worth the wait. My wife & I waited twice and each time the food just hit the spot! The servers are amazing, they know it is packed and they do an amazing job keeping the line moving and getting all tables filled at all times. Inside it is such a classic diner vibe, tons of conversation happening and totally packed. A side note, they are known for their pies, as that is how they started so if you have room for dessert I recommend getting a slice! I believe there is not one thing you can order that wont be good. read more

After waiting outside 30+ minutes in freezing weather for the Sunday brunch, I was convinced that there was no way Bubby's lived up to the hype. Unfortunately, the $27 pancake flight may have been the best pancakes of my life. Especially the Nutella-berry and blueberry-walnut flavors. Or maybe I was just starved at that point. The eggs Benedict was also delicious with homestyle potatoes. I have to say though, their coffee was not very good and I would recommend getting something else to drink. It is cozy inside, and there is a nice old-fashioned photobooth downstairs at the end of the bathroom area. read more

Stopped by Bubby's for brunch and overall, a really solid spot. It was pretty packed, and we had to wait outside for a bit but they moved things along quickly, their staff is really nice and will make you feel taken care of despite it being busy. Once inside, we sat at the bar and space is a little tight, but they make it work and the staff setup still feels comfortable. Food wise, no complaints at all. The pancakes definitely lived up to the hype, some of the best I've had in a while, especially with the blueberry topping. Also had chicken sausage and scrambled eggs, and everything was fresh and really good. Overall, a solid brunch spot. I'd definitely recommend checking it out. read more

Pretty good here. Being well known in the area, they have certain policies in place for example getting a reservation for breakfast. Seems like this place is a beehive. Their staff mustve been there hours before open unloading trucks, etc. I got to watch the whole thing while waiting in the line for folks who have reservations. People who are out to lunch and dont realize these policies got popped because they just thought they were going to walk in ahead of people who had reservations. Finally someone asserted dominance and let them know. Anyways, after that was over, they took us in and sat us. Breakfast was served very fast. We were in and out in under 45 minutes. They have a lot of options, so to come back one day would be good, but overall I like to have a little salt and a little sweet with breakfast but my belly isnt normally big enough to do both. I like to have eggs which I had here and they were good, almost too much as well as some sort of pancake but also very large. If I could go back, I would like to split the egg dish and share the pancake trio. No need to order anything else additional if its you and another person. read more

I need to thank my friends for taking one for the team by waiting in line, while I make my way down and be at the front of the line by the time I get there. Otherwise it is at least a 30-60 minute wait if you want to sit inside. Mind you, there's two different lines, one for inside and one for outside. But it's also freezing outside and idk how people decide to sit outside with no heating lamp. But I digress. We came here for brunch and It was packed inside. It is walk in only for brunch on Saturdays and Sundays, no exceptions to party size or occasion. I ordered the Pancake Flight ($27), which you get the famous James Beard pancakes in three different flavors: 1 Caramelized Banana & Toasted Walnuts, 1 Blueberry Compote, and 1 Nutella Mixed Berry Compote & Whipped Cream. Absolutely delicious and absolutely worth the wait. read more

I really enjoyed brunch here! Keep in mind the lines are long on the weekend, you can't make a reservation, and they don't offer the option to put your name down and come back. Plan accordingly (weekdays aren't too much of an issue). The wait is typically at least 30 min on the weekend. Food wise--just take a look at the photo! A great brunch spot. I got an omelette and pancake flight. Both are great. Nice service and overall a good vibe. read more

The wait was around 30 minutes for a party of 3 on Sunday at 2:30 pm. You'll have to wait outside and then the line snakes around inside a bit. Service is slow likely since they're so busy. The food came out EXTREMELY fast, even before we got our drinks? Pancakes are 5/5. Of the pancake flight, favorite was the blueberry. Next time I'd ask to remove Nutella from the mixed berry pancake as I'm not a fan of Nutella on pancakes, and the mixed berries was the best topping. The biscuits are definitely skippable and not the star of this place. Enjoyed the bacon Mac n cheese but it's nothing crazy. The entrees were large portions and decent but nothing else really came close to the pancakes. read more

Im baffled why this place is considered baby/kid friendly. The music was so loud my friend and I had to shout across the tiny table to hear each other. Strollers aren't allowed inside, even to store them. I guess the loud music drowns out the sound of fussy kids but overstimulating/hurting their ears doesn't exactly help. The food was fine, the mac and cheese balls were standard and the fried chicken sandwich was good but not mindblowing. Our fries were somehow charred but soggy/cold. Maybe just an off day for them but really disappointing. There are so many good places to eat in Tribeca that there's no need for loyalty to mediocre places. read more

First come, first serve with two lines for indoor and outdoor seating. Only waited 15 minutes to get seated outside because it was raining. Service was friendly, and the food came out fast. Chicken + Pancakes: bomb-- in a syrup that was rich, flavorful with a tinge of rosemary and almost cognac-y flavor. Chicken was a bit dry. Bubby's Breakfast: flavorful, good potatoes. Solid savory dish. Bacon Mac n Cheese: surprised that this was my favorite dish! The cheese was soft and flavorful, with that crunchy crispy crust. YUM!

I decided to check out Bubby's because I heard a lot of positive things about it. The line was long but waited about 10 min.It is very organized and moved fast. Staff were very friendly and gave fast and efficient service. I tried their famous Chicken and pancakes. I also had home fries on the side and their homemade pineapple lime soda. The Fried Chicken I was disappointed with. It was super crunchy barely could eat the outside. The texture of the meat inside was a little strange. I may have caught a bad batch so ,I would try it again. The Home fries and homemade soda were very good. The pancakes were amazing!!! So light and fluffy. Bourbon maple syrup came on the side and it was very tasty on the pancakes. It is very tight the seating but everything worked out for it being a crowded restaurant. read more

I finally got to try Bubbys! There's almost always a line, but this time I got lucky. There was a spot at the bar and it's full service so that means PANCAKES. I came here with a mission to try them so I got the flight which is three pancakes, each with different toppings. First is CARAMELIZED BANANA & TOASTED WALNUTS, second NUTELLA, MIXED BERRY COMPOTE & WHIPPED CREAM, and third BLUEBERRY COMPOTE. All the toppings were amazing. Loved them all.. but the pancakes weren't consistent. One was for sure made with a different batter and had a ton of baking soda/powder. I just ate the topping on that one with the other pancakes. Was I full? YES. Was I satisfied? YES. Did it ruin my experience? NO. It was more than enough food even without the third pancake. I also got a hibiscus iced tea. So happy they have non alcoholic drink options:) It's very lively inside. It would be fun to come with a group. I saw they take reservations too. So will def be back read more
