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 Food
The cuisine has the same kind of stylish, determinedly casual feel as the decor. You can stick to the tasty sandwiches or order up more substantial fare (some think the pies alone make Bubby's worth the trip). There's also a spacious barroom and some nice corner alcove seats. The shiny brass bar adds a touch of class, and the staff mixes an excellent cocktail. There are even seats outside for warmer weather.

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 where to begin. The worst service you can imagine magnified by ten. Last time I went there on a Saturday morning, when the place was nearly empty. My husband and I were placed in the farthest corner of the restaurant, practically INSIDE the little side room for the dirty dishes, squeezed between a constantly swinging door and a wall. 35 weeks pregnant and rather huge, I asked the host if we could have a different, more comfortable table. His response? Well you know, we try to distribute the tables more evenly. The cups are habitually dirty. Getting bottled water is an impossible task. If you lose your knife, you better learn to cut with your teeth, because you ain't getting a new one. The home-fried potatoes are so overfried and burned, I think they recycle the ones from three weeks ago. My last dish there had two thick hairs on the bottom. The waitress didn't even offer to have it replaced. The bathrooms are a health violation. Yes, they occasionally have spectacular reuben sandwiches and good bacon, but really, really, I have HAD it.

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 cheese grits as a side. Will definitely be back again soon!

I had the breakfast burrito with home fries. I almost died it was so good. I couldn't help myself but to clean my plate. The burrito comes with guac! In the morning! YUMMY!
