Business Description from the Web
What keeps them standing on line, weekend after weekend? Is it the farmer`s breakfast with eggs that taste just laid and the best grits north of the Mason Dixon Line? Or is it the pies? In any case, here`s some advice if you want to get some really good, cheap grub (plus catch a glimpse of some neighborhood celebs): go at off hours.
Go to Bubby`s for a place that focuses on American and...

This Tribeca restaurant is for the most part a grazing spot for the cool, upscale loft-dwellers of the neighborhood. However, on weekends it really...

The kitchen at Bubby's has become more sophisticated the past few years, but what this place still does best is simple food. Each order is accompanied by the restaurant's signature buttermilk biscuits—they're fluffy and completely satisfying all by themselves. You can't beat the salads, from arugula-and-Parmesan with roasted pears to roasted beet. The carrot-ginger soup is velvety, with sweet,...

The Scene You may not recognize him with his clothes on but, yes, that probably is Harvey Keitel at the next table. Bubby's offers just the kind of clean, healthful cooking that should appeal to the method actor looking to shed a few pounds before his next skinflick. A snack canteen for nearby Miramax-ers during the week, it's overrun by uptowners at weekend brunchtime. The...

Rib-stickin' southern cookin'. They come by the droves for celeb-spotting at Sunday brunch; expect a wait if you're not Harvey Keitel. The dining area is sparse, wooden and white, but it's the food that counts. Fried chicken or tender pulled pork served with a side of mac 'n' cheese or collard greens makes for a perfect double shot of nostalgia and cholesterol. Comfort food for A-listers and...

AMERICAN. With its picket fence, striped awnings, and cheerful white dining room, Bubby's could easily masquerade as a small-town restaurant on some New England village green. But since the village is TriBeCa, the neighborhood crowd is celebrity-heavy. That's not to say it isn't a haven for families. It is to say that these families are fashionable, too.
The menu devotes itself to homey...

I have been brunching a Bubby's since it opened in 90'. The food is great. Both the atmosphere and the eats are consistent, cozy, comfortable. Brunch has become a bit of a scene and it can get a little crazy sometimes. There is always a line-up and tons of tourists and New York transplants. If you can stand being trampled at the bar by a loud family of six from Kansas - or getting bumped for...

Over the years, I have developed a typical abused spouse syndrome towards this wretched brunch place. Every time I go there and get mistreated, I leave angry, swearing never to go back. Two weeks later, I hopelessly trudge back there for another take, and again, I storm out fuming and swearing it was the last time. Well, this time I have really, really had it. No more for me. I do not even know...

I had been wanting to go to Bubby's for brunch for some time and am so glad I finally made it! The place was packed but our group of 6 was seated within 15 minutes. The food was delicious and the portions were huge! The mimosa had fresh squeezed orange juice and the bloody mary was spicy and seasoned perfectly. The sour cream pancakes were out of this world and I would highly recommend the...
