Food was mediocre, bloody mary was below-average, pie was great. ”
- “
The tables outside wobbled, the biscuit (I think thats what it was, either that or left over over-baked pie dough) was inedible. ”
- “
wouldn't return -- they do have good pie, but only when haven't run out. ”
- “
If your focus has changed from people who liked your bbq and pie that have kids to mothers and crayon toteing 3 yrs. ”
- “
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 sour cream pancakes were out of this world and I would highly recommend the cheese grits as a side. ”
- “
the desserts are pretty good. ”

Not that you want dessert to wrap up a syrup topped bacon filled start to a day, but the pies and cakes are delish! ”

Hands down the best pie we ever had. ”
- “
ps: the pie is still good though ”

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. ”

Not everything on the menu is tasty but they do make some dishes well. ”
