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
Christine M.

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!!

Overstuffed Green Omelet

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.

Pancake Flight

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!

Sourdough pancakes - chocolate chip
Anushka M.

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.

Pancake Flight

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!

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.

Maria M.

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!

4 Flaky Buttermilk Biscuits

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!

B.A.L.T. sandwich
Tanya A.

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!

Outside
Riddhi S.

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!!

We got the Banter Bowl, which includes pickled carrot, cabbage, watermelon radish, cucumber, edamame, avocado, quinoa, and miso ponzu dressing. You have a choice of meats, so we chose the grilled chicken. Second, we ordered the falafel bowl that includes three falafels, pickled onions, avocado, cucumber, whipped garlic feta, kale salad, romesco, and Za'atar dressing that had a delicious flavor. However, our ultimate favorite had to be the Thai Crunch Wrap with sweet potato fries. It was fairly busy, and our drinks took a while to come, but the food arrived shortly after. The next time I'm back, I will be sure to reorder the Thai crunch wrap. If you have food allergies, they are extremely accommodating and have numerous vegan/vegetarian/GF.

Think vintage wallpaper, little knick-knacks, and warm lighting. It's got character. I ordered the market salad with mixed greens, honeycrisp apples, goat cheese, candied pecans, and sherry vinaigrette. 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 was our first time eating at a Friedman's location. It had a nice diner feel to it, with a mix of booths and tables. The brunch menu has a variety of breakfast items, salads, sandwiches and burgers, starters, and entrees (fish tacos, grain bowl, fried chicken). I like that several of the items are naturally gluten free, and some can be made gluten free by request. We decided to go with three breakfast items from the brunch menu: I got the shakshuka, my sister got the Nova Benny, and we got the lemon ricotta pancakes to share. All 3 dishes were great. The shashuka came with grilled ciabatta, perfect for dipping into the sunny side eggs and tomato sauce. My sister loved that the poached eggs and smoked salmon of the Nova Benny came on top of a crispy potato latke. The pancakes were fluffy and the lemon ricotta and lemon zest elevated their flavor. Our server was friendly and attentive, and he asked us if we had any allergies when he took our order. He came by several times to check on us and refill water. I would return to Friedman's when I'm in the Herald Square area, or check out one of their other locations in the city.
