Bubby's Pie Company

You might have to wait in line to eat at Bubby's. You might get squeezed in at a table perilously close to another couple, and have to talk loudly to maintain a conversation with your dining companion. But this all pales when you get your Bubby's comfort food. Whether it is the slow-cooked pulled barbecue pork, the lighter-than-air meatloaf, or the buttermilk-fried half-chicken, coupled with such sides as collard greens, sautéed spinach, macaroni and cheese, or baked beans, Bubby's dishes define comfort. Save room for the desserts, especially the homemade pies; one taste of the chocolate peanut-butter pie brought on happy childhood flashbacks. Breakfast is big here and lasts well into the middle of the day. On weekends, though, the wait for brunch can be lengthy. Celebrities need comfort, too, and you might spot one or two at Bubby's. Bubby's also has a branch across the river in the DUMBO neighborhood of Brooklyn.
