Bubby’s New York Diner — Restaurant in Toronto

My wife and I came here on a whim for lunch, after shopping for tiles in the area. The rating was 4.2 which is pretty decent. I generally only frequent places with ratings of 4 or greater - and this is one of few places that I’ve gone to that was definitely overrated. The $18 sub was way over-priced ($12 would have been far more appropriate). The Caesar salad was a decent size, but was anything but a Caesar salad - the only thing it had in common with a Caesar salad was the lettuce and onion. The place was dirty - tables and chairs weren’t clean. No excuse for that especially since the sit down area wasn’t busy.

I must express my utmost appreciation for the exceptional care provided by the manager during my recent dining experience. Late on a Thursday night, when most places might falter, the manager's attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction stood out.

The superior quality and the manager's attentive service make it a destination I'll...

Despite some frustration, the food was excellent - especially the wings.

A few things to note - parking is terrible - which was frustrating as they were struggling and behind schedule inside. When you order on the app they don’t give you an estimate of when your order will be ready - though I’m sure that will improve with time. Lastly, multiple restaurant workers were not wearing masks which made me personally very nervous as we have some very high risk immunocompromised family members living in my house and I found this extremely disrespectful to me as a customer as those family members lives are at risk. A bit disappointing - but all things they can easily fix when they get their...
