Profile

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, fresh carrot sharpened by sautéed ginger. The home-baked pies and cakes are always great, and no wonder—Bubby's started in 1990 as a pie company.

Note

Reservations are not accepted at brunch, so be prepared to wait.

When I first moved downtown to Tribeca a few years ago, I thought - great, here's my breakfast spot. Not so much anymore. Bubby's is no longer reasonable or well-priced for what it is - a cozy, homey diner with decent comfort food. And the people and their kids (I have one myself) all seem to flock here like there's a dearth of cafes or restaurants with decent comfort food in Tribeca. Sorry, it is not worth waiting.

What a Dump

Very disappointing, can't understand why place is always packed...had lunch, soup + caesar, worst ever, and dinged for nearly $50 (for 2) for the pleasure. Place is trading off its name and on tourists, avoid at all costs If living downtown Odeon is better bet.
