Yes, the decor is adorable- you will feel like you stopped at a charming bed and breakfast while driving through the countryside. ”
- “
Sometimes you go to a friend's country place and they seem to have everything -- atmosphere, the right food, good portions. ”
- “
Both the atmosphere and the eats are consistent, cozy, comfortable. ”
- “
Usual wait on weekends is about 45 minutes as its very popular with local twentysomethings, celebrity sightings are common, relaxed atmosphere, child friendly as well. ”
- “
Happy farmhouse decor, complete with groups of out-of-towner girls who think everything is one big S&theCity episode. ”

Food was mediocre, bloody mary was below-average, pie was great. ”

wouldn't return -- they do have good pie, but only when haven't run out. ”

Hands down the best pie we ever had. ”
- “
The sour cream pancakes were out of this world and I would highly recommend the cheese grits as a side. ”

Bubby's consistently turns out good food: the breakfast is excellent with lots of great choices; their pies are the best in the city, maybe in the country; they make their own ice cream (the buttermilk ice cream is delicious). ”
- “
the desserts are pretty good. ”
- “
ps: the pie is still good though ”
- “
If your focus has changed from people who liked your bbq and pie that have kids to mothers and crayon toteing 3 yrs. ”
- “
Not that you want dessert to wrap up a syrup topped bacon filled start to a day, but the pies and cakes are delish! ”
- “
The tables outside wobbled, the biscuit (I think thats what it was, either that or left over over-baked pie dough) was inedible. ”

For lunch, the Garlic burger with brie cheese is a good bet. ”
