Bubby's High Line

Very good place for brunch: nice staff, good menu and the portions are reasonably sized. Would definitely recommend (and good to go to if you're planning a walk down the High Line) .

As my title would suggest, Bubby's is not for the faint-hearted dining experience. You must enter HUNGRY if you are going to appreciate not only the quantity, but quality, of the plate you will be presented. After my 1st dining experience here, i left to walk the High Line in a cloud of satiated joy.

Let me begin my experience from the beginning. This was my 1st ever trip to NY. I was basically letting my feet do the planning with some Pinterest points to guide me. While wandering around the Meatpacking district and checking out the local art Bubby's presented itself (through sight and smell!). We were informed there was a wait and got slightly disheartened to the point where we were going to just try a cheap diner down the street. But as luck would have it, we got the call for our table while debating on the sidewalk if we wanted every day cheap...or a real NY experience. I am SO SO glad we did not go the cheap route!!

The restaurant was PACKED (it was a Saturday morning). I mean i had a huge camera bag as well as purse for my daily adventure and i felt like i was in everybodys way trying to get to our table. It's a very intimate space full of morning chatter - so if you're looking for a serene dining experience choose wisely!

Our waiter was prompt and brought us water in the cutest jars - nice little kitschy touch. The menu had amazing brunch options but this breakfast lover here went directly for the Eggs Benedict. I'm not going to lie...the price almost hurt my feelings. But the plate that was presented to me (picture attached, it was THAT beautiful) made it SO worth it. I switched the house salad option for their home fries (thank you for letting me substitute without a grimace or face of doubt). I had no clue what i was getting myself into!! Had i known, i wouldn't have had our late dinner and made sure my stomach was ready for this heaven-sent meal LOL!! The biscuits are TO DIE FOR. Like...i want to go back just to have more of those fluffy little pillows of southern perfection *dreaming*. Paired with thick-cut bacon, perfect eggs, and the home fries i was in fat kid heaven. I tried sooo hard to finish the plate because i did not want to waste such perfect food! I honestly don't remeber what my husband got, but i know it was good because he cleaned the plate in silence. Will definitely be back the next time i'm in NY!

At the core of 14th street, its pretty nice. Scenery is lovely but over crowded. Nice staff decent food. Would recommend for a bite.

Would not bother w this place! Actually got up and walked out! Rude ass host that barely spoke that sat us down w a stone face and not a word. seriously if u don't like people don't do A customer facing job. No coffee...as in only nasty drip coffee and just slack staff that don't give a shite. Go round the corner to Le Pain Quotidien....waay better food and service.

Over rated tourist trap. Hector's cafe around the corner is thousand times better and has been around for over 20 years. The prices at this Meatpacking outpost are over priced, and don't reflect the any value. I don't mind paying $16 for a burger or chopped Cobb salad for $20; but a shake shake burger is $7 and 1000x better and more filling and chop't is $12 and fresher ingredients. The 45 min wait wasn't worth it. The staff was not attentive or cared because an automatic 10% service charge and wear and tear from the tourist crowd seem to have beat them to call mercy and look at clock for the next smoke break. Avoid location Iike the Zika virus as no matter how I want to support this place, I can't. Another example of a wonderful restaurant that expanded that shouldn't have. Go to the original TriBeCa location instead. It's so much better and authentic.
