I haven't been to Bubby's BK in several years but was assured by a friend new menu/new mgmt blah blah blah. Stood at the hostess stand 10 minutes before anyone even came over, was told a 20 min wait which ended up being at least 45. Once we sat were told the kitchen was so backed up it would be another 30. Finally were offered biscuits to tide us over but the waitress kept forgetting to even bring those. I understand being short staffed and busy but at least acknowledge how ridiculous the situation is and not play dumb to it. Never ever would I waste a meal in Dumbo at Bubby's.

It's one of few restaurants in my neighborhood. Over the years i've gone maybe twice to the one in TriBeCa and now twice to the one in Dumbo. The staff is nice but the place is pretty soulless. The food too. In an attempt to change things up we gave bubbys another try today. We split pancakes and eggs plate for brunch. Eh. The chicken sausage tasted like saw dust. I eat everything and I didn't eat the sausage. A cup of coffee, regular coffee was $4. The bill with tip (for one shared plate, a tea, a coffee and a side of chicken sausage) was $40.

Do not have your wedding here! First of all, planning a wedding is hard enough but, one of, if not the most important thing is to ensure that the reception food is delicious! My fiance and I embarked on the arduous rite of passage of finding a reception venue for our wedding. After visiting many places, we stopped by Bubby's . The prices are reasonable, the space was great-fun, big, two-levels with sweeping views of the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges. We thought, great, let's have a tasting and then we can book the place. Here's the rub: Bubby's only offers tastings for wedding menu items after you put down your non-refundable deposit. We thought that was insane so, after a lot of back and forth we were able to secure an entree tasting at a fee where we could sample entrees only from the wedding catering menu. So, with fiance and father (he'll eat anything) in tow, we headed to Bubby's on a rainy Friday after work. Once there, our waiter started bringing us the entree items one by one. The presentation was less than impressive with the food slapped in the center of the plate-no garnish, no sides... First up: veggie lasagna Review: had to be frozen. was cookie cutter lasagna, watery and without flavor Next up: pecan crusted salmon Review: overly sweetened crust to mask the blandness of the cat food like underside. Lastly: Steak The best of the three but, not good. Don't get me wrong, the staff at Bubby's is really nice and the Brunch there is great BUT for something as important as your wedding-look elsewhere! Pros: Spacious, Nice Views Affordable Cons: The food is awful!

I recently dined here after many many years of doing so and man--how the new management has changed the place. Gone are the days of the generous portions, the kids play space, the delicious food. Now Bubby's is just a ho-hum dive with great decor. It used to be fanastic. Go back to the way you were. It was so much better!

I wish they were good because I live in the neighborhood. It just stinks. Service and food. Owner is phoning it in. Enjoy.

Most recent experience includes a dreary lunchtime chicken sandwich and cold fries. Past visits included overpriced mediocre fried chicken. Avoid this restaurant.

Went there last night, 16 patrons in the whole place at 7pm and service was terrible. Forgot my drinks twice, BBQ platter was dry not good at all, asked for BBQ sauce 3 times. Menu is 3 burgers 3 salads or 3 appetizers outside of BBQ dish. Awful menu, service, food. Pretty place but not worth it by any means. And cash only!
