Where do I start? From the scowling maitre d? The long wait just to get noticed? How about begging for a menu, and then afterwards, realizing they also had a drink menu!@ We moved from manhattan to brooklyn; and loved Bubby's downtown. I guess I didn't notice the prices when I was enjoying myself. Here, in this austere, cold, slate floored echo chamber, I felt ripped off and miserable. Guess those billion dollar condos won't blink an eye at these high prices and poor service.

After reading several decent reviews, I decided to take a five minute walk to Bubby's for saturday afternoon brunch. My first impression was a good one. The space is large but maintaned a cozy, warm feeling. I scanned the menu and decided on bacon,eggs and hashbrowns. Not five minutes passed when the waiter came out with the dish. This is where it goes down hill!! I ordered eggs over easy and they were over cooked. The bacon was so so and the hashbrowns were just ok. I decided to order one of Bubby's specialties for dessert. I decided on hot apple pie with caramel. The waiter asked me if I wanted the pie heated, and I said yes. When he brought it over, it was cold and bland. At this point I just wanted to get the check and hit the road. For the price, the food was mediocre at best. Bubby's turned out to be a bomb!

My husband and I ordered chicken salad sandwiches. In addition to the tendons and gristle we found several sharp bones. Luckily our two year old didn't take a bite first. The manager told me "that's why it's not on the children's menu" and "it's because everything is homemade" Avoid this "kid-friendly" trendy garbage and head over to Grimaldi's around the corner for a good pizza.
