went to Bubby’s for breakfast, and although it was packed with about a 45-minute wait, it was absolutely worth it. The atmosphere was lively and cozy, the kind of bustling New York breakfast spot that makes you feel like you’re part of something special. I ordered the homemade home fries, which came Southern-style with sautéed onions and peppers. They were perfectly seasoned and had that crispy, golden edge that’s hard to get just right. The highlight, though, was the fried chicken and pancakes served with bourbon maple syrup. The pancakes were fluffy and rich, with a twist, there’s sour cream in the batter, which gives them a subtle tang and an extra tender texture. It’s a small detail that makes a big difference. I also sampled the cheese grits, and they were creamy, comforting, and full of flavor, a perfect side to round out the meal. Overall, Bubby’s delivered a fantastic Southern-inspired breakfast experience right in the heart of NYC. If you don’t mind the wait, it’s a must visit spot for a hearty and memorable brunch.
Very well deserved recognition for their Pancake Flight — it truly lives up to the hype. We were also pleasantly surprised by the meats: full of flavor, perfectly cooked, and with a great style. Overall, all the food is delicious, and the atmosphere is incredibly pleasant. A place you really enjoy from start to finish.
Started with the hot chocolate. Pretty good but a bit too thick. The burger was great with a ton of delicious fries! The pancakes were ok but a bit too dense so wouldnt get those again. Pigs in a blanket were great
Breakfast was really good. It is easier to get a table for groups 3 plus. Expect to wait over an hour to be seated. However, the hot chocolate is a must have. The pancakes were good. Highly recommended eating at Buddy's. Would recommend them to get more tables and seating outside covered with heat lamps to be able to sit more people.
Bubby's in Tribeca offers a very welcoming atmosphere with its rustic and cozy ambiance. We had the pleasure of trying the Pancake Flight and the Chicken and Pancakes. The chicken was prepared to perfection, being both crispy and juicy, while the pancakes were delightfully fluffy and flavorful, accompanied by a variety of toppings such as caramelized banana, walnuts, blueberry, Nutella, mixed berries, and whipped cream. I also enjoyed the refreshing Hibiscus Iced Tea, which included complimentary refills. The staff provided exceptional service; they were notably friendly and attentive. Although we were informed of an approximate 45-minute wait, we were seated much sooner. The host thoughtfully engaged with those waiting in line outside and checked on us periodically, which was a kind gesture. Our waitress demonstrated excellent knowledge and efficiency throughout our visit. Please be aware that the pricing is on the higher side, with an expected cost of $30-$50 per person. The location is easily accessible via the #1 train at Franklin Street, the 2 or 3 trains at Chambers Street, or the A, C, or E trains at Canal Street. It is conveniently situated near the 9/11 Memorial & Museum and other remarkable downtown attractions. We recommend visiting for the excellent food and staying to explore the rich history, arts, and culture of the area..
We knew it would be good when it’s 35 degrees F and the line is 45 min out the door. Because we had time to look at the menu already we were ready to order upon being seated. Food came out in 5-10 minutes. It was spectacular. Two of us shared the biscuits and gravy. Hatch chilies and fluffy biscuits, slightly in the sweet side, made for a great breakfast. The potatoes were loaded with onions and cooked perfectly. The praline pumpkin pie was smooth and light while the pralines were crunchy and the crust was on point. The hot chocolate was very rich, with a toasted marshmallow. Lovely. The music was a bit loud, but not enough to take away any stars from this great place. And I didn’t eat in one place that I thought the music wasn’t too loud, so I guess it’s a thing. Or I’m getting old.
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.
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.
