Bubble's Restaurant — Restaurant in City of Mechanicville

A once beloved city diner has decayed into a wretched shell of its former standing in the community.

Simple order of “mini hot dogs with the works” (a family favorite quick bite) : USED to be steamed buns , flavorful meat sauce , minced onions and yellow mustard. I received stale buns-clearly hard at the ends, “meat” sauce that was clearly old and dry, with no discernible’flavor’ other than…(week old?)…no mustard, and nearly clear, obv not fresh onions. Wow. How do you ruin something a child could make?

Mac salad? If it’s possible to outdo the dogs in sheer disgust-they did it. NO discernible egg presence, NO onion, NO celery-not even salt and pepper??? I mean CMON!!! And for kickers the shell pasta was Wayyyy over cooked! With oddly placed gobs of Mayo-as if they “refreshed” an old bath. I’m not kidding. Do you serve this to your grandkids?

Oh-and a lovely parting gift-I had the runs 5-6 hours after eating-it HAD to be this horror show. Stay AWAY!! If you lower yourself to this gross food maybe try McDonald’s.

So sad. A once proud gathering place of citizens of a tiny city is now horrid and disgusting. And sadly, a microcosm of the city itself-a once proud city of laborers and businesses and farming communities-which now has allowed its decaying sidewalks to become weed-infested. Potholes abound, boarded up business frontages, no new businesses except the “cash for gold”, used clothing, tattoo parlors and run down taverns that once actually attracted customers from out of town. Shame on the elected officials of Mechanicville! And someone with one OUNCE of passion for culinary PLEASE buy out this...

Having a gluten allergy makes eating out difficult. My options are limited and frequently more expensive if I get a gluten substitution, such as bread. Many restaurants and staff don't understand what gluten free options they have or how food is prepared. Ex: are french fries fried in an exclusive fryer or do you fry all foods in the same fryer?

Bubbles not only has gluten free options, they have a good selection at a reasonable price. And their staff are knowledgeable too!

For my husband and myself to eat out at most places were looking at $30 to $40, and that's not gourmet cooking. At bubbles I can order food with GF substitutions, my husband can order a double cheeseburger and we total around $20!

The staff is also friendly, timely, and the atmosphere of the restaurant is that of a small town diner (which it is) but has that truly community feeling. It's rare that someone doesn't recognize someone, or people are coming together to...

One waitress has a major attitude problem. Tall blonde, Sue I believe Never smiles, extremely rude. They speak horribly about people coming in to the restaurant and while they are seated eating as well while other patrons can clearly hear. Italian toast is super tiny and should not have been served to begin with, corned beef hash is likened to actual dog food, the seats and salt, pepper, sugar containers are filthy, don’t even think about trying to share a meal with a friend……there is an actual extra plate charge

The outside needs to be painted, ice cream cone needs to be painted, the entire place needs a major refreshing as it is one of the first things you see coming into the city

I’d rather go to the Ugly Rooster and pay a bit more than be treated poorly by a waitress…..who chose to be there and do this...
