    Really delicious - went in off hours but pancakes were soo good. Line can get crazy so was nice to be in off hours. Service was very quick and pancakes were delicious. We ended up getting banana/nut pancakes and they were soo good. Really large portions so able to share but soo good. Has indoor/ outdoor seating. Overall great experience.

    We waited about 30 minutes for a table outside, but it was totally worth it! There's lots of space inside too but it was a beautiful day so we opted for the outdoor line. Our waitress was super sweet, helpful, and didn't push us pace wise despite the long lines. Their cold brew was delicious! I got the biscuits and chili sausage gravy which was absolutely divine (the potatoes were so crispy and tasty too). My friend got the huevos rancheros and loved her meal. Lastly, we had to try the James beard famous pancakes and got a chocolate chip to split and it did not disappoint. I would definitely come back here to try other items on the menu!

    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!

    Sourdough Pancakes

    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!!

    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.

    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???

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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. We have never waited more then a few mins- Totally worth it. Love everything on menu. Service is fast and their brunch options are fresh and best!

It was a hearty portion - super fresh and flavorful, and honestly more than I could finish (not a complaint!). I also ordered a Diet Pepsi with grenadine; they don't carry Diet Coke, which I almost docked a point for, but the mix was unexpectedly delicious. Highly recommend it. My date ordered the hanger steak and said it was absolutely amazing. Only hiccup: his first glass of wine he got came out hot... like, microwave-level warm. Fortunately, the server brought a new (cold) one and the rest of the meal was smooth sailing. Service was friendly, the vibe was homey and relaxed, and the food was solid across the board. Would definitely come back, especially for that salad and another round of grenadine magic.

It's $25 for unlimited drinks plus food by the way. Which is sad is a deal these days. Anyway, their happy hour is solid enough for a Monday and was meeting up with a friend I hadn't seen in over a year. Place is actually very cute. There are no tvs which I appreciate and the paneling of the walls and decor with all the flowers is quite tasteful. Happy hour deals 4-7pm Mon-Fri & all night Thursday apparently: Aperol Spritz $8, Hugo Spritz $9, Paloma $10, Mules $9, Draft Beers (except Guinness) $7, House Wine $9. As well as 2 Appetizer Bites for $19.95. Not the best but not the worst. I'm normally not a Spritz kind of gal. I think watering down prosecco or wine is heinous. But it was a Monday and I didn't exactly feel like powering down into happy hour so Aperol Spritz it was which switched to a Modelo later. It was the perfect drink situation on a god awful hot as hell day. We also ordered the fish tacos and what initially were the curry fries but they brought out the Greek fries. I wasn't mad about it. Honestly was torn between the two and I don't send food back unless something really bad happened. But it was essentially a side of Caesar salad dressing with feta cheese and generous amount of herbs on a very sparse and frugal amount of crispy standard cut fries. Now I know why it's a 2 for $20 deal. The tacos were 3 in an order which I guess is typical. They weren't bad but nothing stood out to me. I'd come for the drinks or try something else on the menu.
