Bubi's Awesome Eats

The service is excellent! The gentlemen that serve us everytime are so friendly and kind. The food was 10/10 as well. The only downfall is the price... same as everywhere though. Everything is so expensive but at least the portions here are so much you leave with left overs. I recommend 10/10 to go and try this place either for a date night or with friends! The dilly fries are unreal BTW!!! Don't knock it til you try it. THANK YOU FOR THE SERVICE, FOOD AND VIBES THIS BUILDING HAS! The story behind the building alone is worth checking out. Ask them!

Nice and affordable place to have delicious food and some buzz. Near to university of windsor. For vegetarians they have pretty good burger, pizza sticks with cheese and burritos. Drink options are also nice and strong. Staff is so friendly and even beautiful 😻 Taste : 8/10, Ambience : 10/10, Service : 9/10, Pricing : 9/10 Updating as of Aug 2022: Food quality is not as before and also seating arrangements changed so not that great ambience as before. Changing 5 stars to 2 stars. Hospitality remains the same, they welcome and greet their customers well, great staff.

Bubis food is absolutely amazing. The staff is super friendly and always on top of things. Prices are more than fair for the amount of food you get. Bubis never disappoints, definitely my favourite restaurant!!

I haven't been to Bubi's in a few years. In the past couple of weeks have stopped in twice. Both times the food and service was very good. The sandwiches and burgers were awesome. Each time they were served quickly and nice and hot. They have a number of different options and choices for lunch and dinner. They also have great looking desserts, but we were too full to try them..maybe next time. There is plenty of parking in the area. Most of it is metered.

A landmark restaurant in Windsor Bubi's like many other restaurants has undoubtedly had a tough time since covid hit. We arrived around lunch time on a Saturday and were quickly seated. It took quite awhile to get our food but I'm guessing they are short staffed which is an issue plaguing many restaurants and retail businesses so totally understandable. Although it would have been nice if the appetizer came out before the main as opposed to after. Please note they do not have a kids menu. Nor will they serve you a half portion of something. This strikes me as a bit odd. How hard is it to create a few items at a smaller size (like chicken fingers) and call it a kids menu? I ordered the pulled pork sandwich which was really good except please note it is not a sandwich per se but the meat is on top of a piece of bread. The serving size was pretty generous though so really no need for another piece of bread on top of it I suppose . I recommend the pizza crusts and if you do get them make sure to order "Windsor style" which includes shredded pepperoni, mushrooms and cheese. I would recommend Bubi's (just maybe not for young kids ) and feel bad for these owners and workers as I know they must be struggling. One of the reasons we continue to dine out is to help support local business like this.

Amazing! The staff was super friendly from start to finish and went out of their way to interact with the kids in our party. The food was great! Try the parmesan fries! Cute place!

I have a pretty long history with this place. The food is great and their menu and aura is unique. Their service varies and at times can be rather underwhelming (not anything outrageous but lack of attentiveness).

The garlic sauce is amazing same with the chevapi. The waitress provided poor service. took asking 3 times to get a refill, each time a giggle and omg I forgot again. Just grab the drink next time and don't laugh. The food trumps the staff so I'll go back. Who would turn down that burger :)

Came for a visit Sunday evening close to closing so it was slow but James our server still made us feel very welcome. I ordered the Binder which is a burger between two grilled cheese sandwiches. It was incredible! Everything was done to perfection. We also ordered Bryan's Poutine which was more than could be finished but still absolutely delicious. I would definitely recommend going here and I know we will be back if we are ever in the area again.

I live right across the border in the US and came through the tunnel just to come here! If you haven't been here you need to try it! Especially if you're a garlic lover. Their housemade garlic sauce is a must have! Everyone that works here is really friendly and awesome. They have the best tasting Mountain Dew too that comes in a giant mason jar. I'm going to try to give up pop for the new year which is why I came today Any of the burgers are delicious! Today I got the Philly. Yum! Cooked well and served piping hot! The cheesecake was honestly just okay. Nothing special..skip it! Oh and I almost forgot...start your meal out with the breadsticks... they're called pizza crusts! Yum!

Bubi has been the buzz every time I'm in Windsor n today after a long day of shopping, my boyfriend n his mom had decided to finally go. Despite the horrible freezing rain in Windsor, it didn't stop the hungry people from rollin' into this joint. Upon waiting for a table, I noticed a poster advertising the grasshopper brand of beer. I definitely love this beer n had to order it. My bf n his mom ordered a water which came in a giant big mason jar. This hidden gem had a spectacular menu, filled with a variety of different options from burgers, sammies to salads. I ordered half a rack of ribs with a poutine, my bf ordered the baja burger with a side of fries n my bf's mom ordered the basic burger w/ a side of onion rings. We had also ordered a basic burger with onion rings to go as well. Although the restaurant was busy, my party waited 50 minutes for our food to arrive. The family of six who came in slightly after us, ordered their food, ate and left even before our meal had arrived. I understand if a restaurant is busy n if the food takes a bit longer to arrive, but it would have been great if the server came over to let us know the meal was still coming n that we weren't forgotten. The food arrived n everything tasted amazing. The fries were extremely fresh n crispy. My ribs had the right amount of sauce n fell right off the bone. The onion rings were extraordinarily delicious with the best batter I've ever had. Once the meal was over, I was so full that I couldn't move. The dessert menu that they offered had a variety of different cheesecakes. I ordered one to go n asked for the bill. The server had let us know that the take out would be out shortly. The price of the food was pretty standard n comparable to all the restaurant in Downtown Toronto. As we were waiting for the take-out, my bf had left to warm the car up. We waited about 10 minutes after paying for the bill n our server was no where to be seen. I went back to the bar to inquire about the take-out n I finally bumped into our server again. The restaurant most definitely lived up to the hype of the delicious food, however the service could be a lot better.

I love garlic. So naturally, I like eating here. They make a great garlic sauce, and now that I don't live in Windsor anymore, I'm glad that I can take it home. The reason I say it's only "A-OK" though, is because every time I do come the service gets worse and the food portions get smaller, while the prices go up. The food is still good, and they have a great patio, but sometimes the servers forget you out there.

Slow...slow...slow. We came in right as they opened and were told to sit anywhere... People who came after got their food, ate-paid, and even left. Not sure if they just have poor service and suck at keeping track of customers or if it is because we're not Canadian or white. But the food was good. We all ordered burgers ( I ordered a veggie burger) and fries and they were delicious. If the food was not good I would have given this place a 1. Good food so it gets a three. I would try again maybe we just got them on a bad day but the slowness was almost unbearable.

I was totally a fan of this place until they brought my side salad out in a stainless steel dog bowl! WTH?! The salad was stuffed into this little bitty puppy bowl and it was a tad annoying with lettuce pieces falling out of the bowl as I was trying to mix it with the dressing in this cramped bowl! Aside from that, this is a cool spot though once you figure out how to get in and find your way to the seating. It has the feel of being in someone's old basement, but not in a bad/grimey way. One cool thing is the various options for seating: patio, upper level, main floor. The server was cool. It was pretty empty and it seemed that she was wearing dual hats of server + hostess. She was polite and efficient and most importantly didn't check on me a dozen times. There really is no need to (for refills anyway) when you serve beverages in mason jars;-) I had the chicken gyro with the wedge fries. The fries were really good, tasted like home. The pita was very fresh and the chicken in my gyro was perfectly tender. Searching thru the menu was kind of overwhelming. It is a book and offers Mexican, wraps, items "from the wok", BBQ ribs, lasagna. Pretty much whatever random dish, sampling from whatever corner of the world is what the menu consists of. And of course burgers and wraps. The variety is great and all, but just when you think you know what you want, there is another page. There were 15 categories of food items! This place is indeed kinda awesome considering all the items that they offer and the food was decent. I liked the atmosphere with the funky blues music playing in the background... The self-serve checkout for credit cards was also pretty convenient as well. ... I'd go here again.

Two of us were driving aimlessly in this neighbourhood when we spotted Bubi's sign. Neither of us had heard of the joint (despite signs out front stating "As Seen on the Food Network"), so it piqued our interest. The restaurant itself doesn't have parking, but right next to it (Jannette and University) there's a city parking lot with very reasonable rates ($1.50/hr). The restaurant definitely has a "roadhouse" vibe to it. It's not fancy, but what it doesn't have in style it makes up for with friendly, attentive staff and good food. We were greeted almost immediately and advised to sit anywhere we wanted..so we went to their upper section of the restaurant where, within a minute, the bartender came by with menus and took a drink order. Pops come in the largest mason jars I've ever seen...must be just under 1/2 litre. I've never not finished a pop at a restaurant but this one beat me down, they're that big! I ordered their green curry chicken noodle stir fry on rice noodles, my dining companion ordered a cheeseburger with fries. Food was out in a very reasonable time frame and portion size was alarmingly huge. My stir fry was not bad, but did not impress. I found the dish lacked heat (flavour, not temperature) ..it was a bit too sweet for my liking. There was ample sauce (garlic, ginger, peanut flavours), but not enough noodles. The stir fry consisted of red peppers, broccoli, carrots, cabbage and onions, all resting on a bed of very thin rice noodles. Don't get me wrong..it wasn't horrendous..I guess I was expecting more heat and noodles. My partners cheeseburger was massive, with a mound of freshly grated cheddar on top. He said it was excellent but a tad overcooked (not moist). His fries (more like wedges) were not hot, but warmish. He did say the burger itself was deliscious and he struggled to finish his meal as the portion size was huge. Several different staff members stopped by to ensure everything was ok. Very attentive team. I'd come back again if in the area...their menu is massive with several items catching our attention.

Ordered take-out awhile ago... my order was Best of the Breast which are meaty chicken fingers. When I picked it up, I dealt with an unprofessional take-out waitress, she was flippant. I didn't notice the line items on the receipt when I paid for it, but when I got home, I noticed that they charged me $6.00 for a maybe a 1/3 cup sized container of plum sauce. I got ripped off and I won't go back. I don't know if Kyle is still working there, but he was awesome!

Ok first off this was our first trip to Canada and what a start. Place was closet to downtown. Was not busy. It was a Wednesday. Staff was awesome and friendly. Plan b burger was good not too spiced. Bryan's poutine was to die for. My wife had the binder. It was bigger than her. But I aside is real garlicky be warned.

Must order their Pizza crust, garlic sauce Burgers are decent, cheesecakes are good.

Great food. Had the totally awesome burger and the name fit the burger. My girlfriend had the chicken salad and had no complaints. Great atmosphere and felt like home. Great size cups for the drinks it was a huge mason jar. Would for sure visit again if im in the windsor area. Keep up the great work Bubi's!!!

Bubi's is A-OK in my book. I didn't have the best meal of my life here but I didn't have the worst either. It is pretty good for what it is--a causal joint for a cheap-ish dinner. I had a burger here which was pretty tasty but, again, nothing earth shattering. Perhaps I should have gone for one of their fancier burgers (like the Black Olive Almond Pesto) but I'm kind of a purist when it comes to burgers. I just like meat, cheese, some onions, ketchup and mustard. That's all I need to make me happy and this burger sort of delivered. I judge a good burger on whether or not I push myself to finish it even if I'm really full and...well...I didn't finish it. But I ate a lot of it so it was pretty good. The onion rings were quite tasty. I filled up on more of those than my burger. I also split the strip teasers appetizer with my friends and those were good. Strips of steak served with Bubi's sauce and pita points. Now, I will give them props for the Bubi's sauce. That is quite tasty! Super garlicky and creamy. Reminds me a bit of the garlic sauce you'd find at Middle Eastern joints but maybe a little more aoili like? If you like garlic you're probably going to like your time at Bubi's. I ordered a diet coke and it came out in a HUGE mason jar. I like that touch. I also ordered a slice of the cherry cheesecake which again was just all right. I liked it well enough but I didn't push myself to finish it. I did have bites of my friend's peanut butter chocolate cheesecake and a huge chocolate cake and those were much better. Next time I'd stick to my tried and true chocolate. The prices were pretty good and the night we went they had a burger special so my burger was hella cheap. The service was pretty spotty. We sat on the patio and more than a couple of times we were looking for our server wondering where he had gone off to. But the patio seating was nice, especially since it was a lovely evening out. Not the place I'd rush back to any time soon but if I were to eat here again I wouldn't be bummed out.

What a great place! Awesome for our large group, and the food selection is phenomenal. Staff are great, always smiling, and able to answer any question in a matter of seconds. Asked the waitress what burger she would recommend and instantly told me three top sellers! I especially like the large mason jars for drinks. One thing I hate when going to a restaurant is the small glasses and not quick enough refills. A large mason jar eliminates this, and to be honest this made my experience that much better. For any buddy wondering if it's children friendly, it sure is. The staff are great with the children and seem to bend over backwards for any guest in attendance! Cheers guys! Thanks for a great experience! Signed, The big boondock who eats on the regular!

I can't say enough good things about this place. Everything I've had was good. Everything my friends have had was good. The vibe is layed back. It's right downtown and close to lots of night life type stuff. Don't forget to "Dillon" your fries!

Came here on a Monday night and was fairly empty, staff was very polite and the setting was dim and had a feel of being in someone's house. (Kind of reminded me of a haunted house with the portraits and paintings on the wall). Both ordered their "blue ribbon" ribs and was told that it was "tough meat" since it was not "grilled or baked in the oven". Still unsure as to how it was cooked as waitress didnt know herself. Amount of food was plenty, quality of food would give a 3-star rating. Really liked their garlic salad dressing and garlic bread

So I use to go to Bubi's every so often for the Stripteasers -- strips of beef in this awesome BBQ sauce with their awesome fries and of course, Bubi's sauce....but it was always hit or miss with this place. So eventually I forgot all about Bubi's and never really went back. But one day I was driving by and saw the sign about they were featured on the Food Network. So I googled it and found the episode. I figured that I would give them a try again... I went for lunch with a few colleagues from work. They all saw the video from the show and 3 out of 5 of us decided to order the Best of the Breast (see pic) One person ordered the Thai Coconut dish (see pic) and the other ordered a wrap. Service was good, so no complaints there and the food came pretty quick. Portions are generous --- not a single person finished their food. I ordered the Best of the Breast and for some reason I felt like it had a funny after taste to it. I ate it, but it wasn't something I particularly cared for. As for the fries, they've changed them since I was last there. They use to be these wedge cut fries and they were awesome with the Bubi's sauce. But now they're really greasy and cut differently...kind of reminded me of a greasy KFC French fry, but a little thicker. Nonetheless, the Bubi's sauce was pretty good. The other two people who ordered the chicken strips said they were good, but it didn't seem like they were too crazy about them. My coworker who ordered the Thai dish enjoyed her meal, as well as the other one who ordered the wrap. But I didn't try either of their meals, so I can't really give my opinion on them. I agree with some of the other reviews that this place is over-hyped. I wouldn't recommend this place, but I wouldn't convince anyone not to eat here either. I'll probably go back and get the Stripteasers, since it's been a long time since I had them....but not anytime soon.

My friends and I stumbled across this place on google maps, it had good reviews and we didn't know much about the food in Windsor. Fantastic Burgers, one of the best ive had in a while (and I'm from Wisconsin where we do burgers right). Homemade fries, which were a little different at first bite but then were really good after a couple. Also good homemade catch up too (yes that's how they spelt it) Little steap in price but well worth it. If you get a soda you get it in a big mason jar. Great beer selection I wanted to try them all. Would definitely make my way back here if I ever visit Windsor again.

I came here on the recommendation of a local friend, without knowing any of the history, food channel exposure, etc. The place isn't exactly classy, but it's not trying to be. It's a cheap and delicious little burger shop. They do fries their own way, with a lot of cheese and a ton of garlic sauce. I ordered a regular hamburger which was delicious. If you're looking for the old fashioned feel of a classic diner, this is the place for you. Also, bears tonbe said: what is with their menu? It's written in like size 6 font and has way more options than anyone needs.

I went here on June 28th as a graduation gift for my boyfriend. He LOVES Bubi's so I thought "Why not?". I've never been to Bubi's before so I was confused at how to get around to our tables and whatnot. But my boyfriend's got my back so I didn't look totally stupid. We sat at a table for two and given our menus. OH MY GOD. The menus. WHY ARE THEY SO LONG?! This was one of many times that I've encountered restaurants with a ridiculously long menu. Our waiter (who was so sweet and patient) had to come back three times to ask us if we were ready because we were so indecisive. I finally settled on the Chicken Tomato Thai Skinny Noodle and my boyfriend got the Fiesta Bubi's. Our waiter brought us our food and asked if he could do anything else for us. I said a smile and he flashed us a dazzingly one. It was funny. Anyway, our food. It probably wasn't helping that my tummy was already starting to hurt. I had a cold and whatnot already. My order was delicious! But 3/4 of my meal was chunks of tomatoes, chicken, peppers, etc. I barely had any of the skinny noodles. I had to dig to find the noodles :/ That was disappointing. The garlic bread that accompanied my meal was DELICIOUS. I could eat it forever! My boyfriend really liked his order (he's so lazy he won't go into detail). We had our food packed and then we went to pay. OKAY. BECAUSE I'M SO UNOBSERVANT, I walked down the stairs and then walked to the windows and pushed against it. I forgot you had to turn to your right and to exit. I WAS SO EMBARRASSED AND PEOPLE WERE STARING. Oh my goodness. I kind of said aloud "That's not the door...!", looked over to where my boyfriend is waiting for me at the CORRECT and ONLY door and ran out. The three stars are because I wish I had more noodles in my meal, but it was still good and I'll definitely come here to try something new to see if I can boost up this rating! :)

Love the Chicken Quesadillas, especially the crispy tortilla and the full cheese inside, the chicken was tender too. My bf had the basic burger but he somehow didn't like it.

Been here many times and always have a good experience. Chose Bubi's for my birthday dinner last night (Sunday) with my entire family. Food was great, as usual, but I really want to commend our waitress (WHOSE NAME I CANT REMEMBER!!!! She was serving our party in the back corner near the restrooms). She was pleasant, happy, obliging, efficient and generous (she bought my desert for me!). Good hire Bubi's. She deserves to be recognized. And of course we'll be back.

We drove by Bubi's and it looked interesting. Checked out past reviews and decided to give it a try. Overall it was as expected, it offers an assortment of menu items, we came for lunch so we didn't dive into the larger meals. The iced teas came is huge mason jars, and we're frosted. We tried their traditional pizza crusts and it could have been a meal in itself. Hot, tasty, with their special garlic dip. Tried their chicken tenders, they were fresh made and had some flavour. Also tried their onion rings based on past reviews and they were disappointing. We also had their Lean and Green salad with chicken. Very fresh ingredients.

My GF is from Windsor and she absolutely adores this place.. I mean she honestly LOVES it. They were also just featured on "You Gotta Eat Here" on Food Network apparently although I'm not completely sure what items would have been featured on the show. Certainly couldn't have been their french fries which were frozen and from a bag for sure. We went just last week, my first visit, and my thoughts are mixed.. I think the place is pretty gimmicky really. Burger was on the small side (although you can upgrade to a bigger size for more money.. default burger is only 5oz. which is too small IMO), smaller than it should be especially for the money. No pink left in it which makes me a little skeptical about whether they are even fresh ground or not, but it's still a decent burger. Fries as mentioned above were very bland, boring and definitely frozen.. The "garlic sauce" that people seem to love here is a bad accompanyment for the fries in my opinion and seems like something that should be on a shawarma rather than served with your fries, but she loves it, so it's definitely YMMV Beer was affordable and ice cold which was nice, Steamwhistle on tap will always make me a happy camper A solid 3 to 3.5 stars IMO although I'm a little perplexed about how this place would make it onto the Food Network... I didn't see anything that looked homemade really

Original Pizza Crusts - home-made bread sticks, deep fried, smothered in garlic butter and parmesan cheese with marinara sauce and bubi's. Food taste and portion always exceeds expectations. Service ALWAYS on point!!

Always a solid good time! The staff is great and the place is super unpretentious, despite the fact that they have been around forever and have serious bragging rights! The portions are huge and you can literally find anything and everything on the menu. You will never run out of options. The free wifi is a nice touch as well.

Bubi's mediocre eats. There is a lot of garlic, like, it's as if they got on TV and decided that suddenly everything had to be garlic with a side of garlicky garlic. Some people like garlic, I don't. I don't want a poutine covered in garlic, I want a poutine that's not garlicky at all. Overall, my friends and I killed a bee here and the iced tea was alright. Might come back for bees with friends.

Who likes garlic? I LOVE garlic! I know it may sound disgusting having your breathe smell heavily of garlic, but if you love the taste and don't mind the smell, this is the restaurant for you! With pub-like decor and mostly natural lighting, this place is a pretty cool spot to visit on a nice summer day, as they have a pretty nice patio. Located in a quieter spot just outside the downtown core, this is a great spot to just hang out and grab some nice eats! Bubi's has a clear motive with their food. There is garlic in everything, or at least close to everything. They incorporate garlic into their dishes perfectly, and even give you more garlic cloves if you want it. With amazing burgers, lots of different sides to choose from, and gigantic portions, this is an awesome choice if that's where your taste buds are headed. Service is really great here, very attentive servers and very informative when you have any questions. They also have some pretty unique beers which you can always ask the server about. With good food and good service (and garlic everywhere), if you are looking for something like that or something new to try out, I would definitely give this place a shot!

As pretentious as it sounds, Bubi's has become a bit of a paradox. They very proudly put right in their menu how, 30 years ago,they bucked major trends and re-invented the hamburger with their amazing revolutionary garlic sauce. Way to go, Bubi's. You really did create something new and unique. But if you're trying to sound like the type of place that's bold and different then you've got to keep re-inventing yourself. It doesn't really sound like you've done anything new and different since that big, bold step 30 years ago. Which is why I am only occasionally in the mood for Bubi's. It offers something different, yes. But it's always the same. So, if I find myself in fear of a vampire attack, I'll go eat there and reek of garlic for an indefinite period of time, afterwards. I'm sure there are items on the menu that aren't smothered in their garlic sauce. I haven't found them, yet. And while I'm not complaining about the taste of the sauce (it is quite delicious), I am tired of the fact that it overpowers any other flavor that your food was meant to have. Which means that, no matter what you order, the food all kinda tastes the same. Which, to me, makes for a frustrating dining experience. If I'm ordering the same thing every time (which is something I am known to do at certain places that I frequent - they will actually call out: "Your usual, Rob?" as I walk in!) then I can't complain. But it does disenchant me a bit that I have tried something different every time I go into Bubi's in the vain hope that I will find some degree of variance in flavor but still just get a great big wallop of garlicky goodness. Which is why it loses a few stars in its rating. Having said all that, I will add that Bubi's does offer some of the best service you will find in Windsor. Excellent waitstaff - friendly, attentive and efficient. You even have to compliment the cooks for their sensitivity. Bubi's has a weird kitchen set-up (which is something else that should maybe have changed after 30 years). If you're sitting on the second floor then you can hear anything being said in the kitchen as clear as day. Having worked in a kitchen or two, I know that cooks and chefs can say the most horrid of things. But they seem to be aware that their voices project into the dining area and never say anything legitimately offensive. They're still very smarmy and sarcastic, of course. But that's part of working in a kitchen! But as good as your staff might be - that's just window dressings. Restaurants should be all about the food, first. In fact, I'll put up with a bit of bad service if the food is worth it. But there is a fundamental flaw to Bubi's menu that they need to fix. It might even be as simple as telling the waitstaff to place a greater emphasis on making the garlic sauce optional. By no means do I think this place is terrible. But, because it is so married to its sauce, I'm only in the mood for it from time to time...

Wow! Didn't expect such great food and the different twist on traditional foods, the atmosphere was cool (different then ur traditional franchise restaurants)I can see why they were featured it on The Food Network. Can't wait to return to Windsor for a great dining experience. Differently give them a try if your in the area, I doubt you'll be disappointed.

Great service! At first we waited for a server to seat us, but after that, the server checked in on us all the time. I got the steak quesadilla, which was good but not worth $15. The BBQ steak was delicious! The fries were also pretty good. Also, free wifi was a plus.

Family of 4 in town to bring in the new year. Was served by "Alliter." The service and food was outstanding. Everything was fresh and delicious. Would definitely visit again!

Burgers here are FRESH and JUICY like they should be. The burgers here are pretty big as well so you're definitely getting your money's worth. The garlic sauce they provide with your burger and fries is so delicious (who needs ketchup anyway?).

I was disappointed at the cleanliness of this place - it was pretty much a dump inside. The service and the food was good however overall worth crossing the bridge from Detroit but wouldn't go back.

OK ... This is the start of my search for the best damned burger joint on the planet. You'll see my next few reviews are of my good old hometown Windsor, Ontario (just across the river from Detroit Michigan) ... refrain from slagging this part of North America at this time ;) . . . we all gotta be from somewhere. So, I hadn't visited Windsor in about a year, and while down for my three day stay, I ended up on an impromptu burger bonanza pitting the top joints in the city up against even my own father's backyard BBQ. Windsor's all time classic burger joint is hands-down Bubi's Awesome Eats. I can remember my mother taking me there when I was no more than 12 years old ... so a long long time ago ;). First of all, Bubi's is known for 2 more things besides its crazy-ass range of burger options, and that's GARLIC GARLIC GARLIC sauce and frozen yogurt fruit smoothies (that are more like a thick healthy pick your fruit version of a Dairy Queen blizzard) ... both are simply Awesome ... but I digress . . . this is about burgers. I recall as a high school punk there was a "hinden" burger weighing in at 2 lbs ... and a "gonzo hinden" burg tipping the scales at a whopping 4 lbs. This is more like a giant slab of meat loaf on a loaf of bread. Now the added sham-mockery of taunting any poor soul into actually ordering this $35 burger is that if you actually do FINISH it ... it's free ... and hell, they'd put your picture up on the wall. Now I know what you're saying - who the hell could finish that??? - well, it turns out quite a few ppl could. On several occassions, one of my school's football players - Jeff St. Louis ... but everyone called him Jake. Hence, the "Jake St. Louis" burger at 6 lbs was born! Jezuz H ppl would say. WTF?!?!?! Now Windsor and Detroit produce some pretty giant people to whom abuse, violence, the raaah raaah Amerrricaaah go for it attitude and more . . . so it is fitting that the latest burger offering can be found at Bubi's: At $69.99 - "Bunda's Big V8" is 8 lbs of insanity ... with a $1,000 cash prize to finish this ... likely to be utilized in follow up colon cleansings and heart related issues. http://www.bubis.org/bigger.html So get a grip already ... order a normal sized burger dressed any which way you like ... you'll love it ... and be sure to balance in some fantastic fries with the sure to make your breath stink and friends remember for 48 hours garlicky-good-garlic sauce . . . . save enough room for a frogurt. This place is and will be an icon of Windsor for life. I thank the owner Buddy for his commitment to building this in the city of Roses ...

Finally got to Bubi's and the food was fantastic. Great service too. Their special sauce was great but you better like garlic! Can't wait to go back again.

Being a University student I have been to Bubi's many times. I went last week for the first time in a year or so and everything was the same. Loved the burger I got, as well as the App of pizza crusts (main reason I went I think). The salad I got that came in a weird metal bowl, which I wasn't a fan of, but something very unique, doesn't really bother me. I like the menu's. I have a feeling that the entire story is made up, but still something nice to read when you wait to be served. The ketchup bottles are interesting.... When you see them you will know what I mean. The food is excellent, as well as the wait staff. The guy who served me seemed like he was about to clock in his 60th hour for the week, but was very enthusiastic and did a great job. Food came out extremely fast. I don't feel I could eat the food EVERY week, as like I could some of my local favorites, but I suggest this restaurant to anyone.

Bubi's is suppose to be a Windsor treasure that's even been on the food network! (you gotta eat here) It's a nice place with super friendly staff and hearty food. The only thing is I think I had too high of expectations. Don't get me wrong, it was great but a tad bit overrated. I ended up getting a veggie burger with fries that were "dilloned" which is some Parmesan and garlic topping on the fries, everything was served with the side garlic sauce. The garlic sauce was awesome 10/10. The Dillon fries were good but not as amazing as I though they would be. I wish they used a steak cut fry or some sort of better fry to make it better 7/10. The veggie burger patty wasn't great. It was a TVP (texturzed vegetable protein) patty and I really didn't enjoy it. It's hard to explain but I didn't enjoy the taste, the toppings and bread were delicious though 5/10. But other that that, my friends meals looked great and they really enjoyed them. The beer selection was terrific, had a very very delicious Hawaiian beer on tap (forgot the name :( ) . And the staff was great!

Awesome burger :D I am not a burger person but I loved every bite of my 1/3lb burger. Highly recommended !

We had an amazing experience at Bubi's Awesome Eats today. The half portion of poutine was plenty for our 3 meat eaters (it has gravy so not for vegetarians), and was fantastic. Everyone loved the "mourning after" burger, which can be ordered with a veggie patty and no bacon. I had the bbq pulled pork with extra sauce and sweet potato fries. The meat was extremely tender and extremely good, and the fries were perfectly done.They have a nice beer selection, and the serving size was huge. We were way too full for desser, but they are house made. Despite the poor reviews here for bad/sow service, we had a wonderful server snd the food came quickly (Sunday about 1pm- not crowded). Highly recommended!

Bubis has been a Windsor favourite for years. They are famous for their garlic sauce which is delicious. I was a bit disappointed in the changes they made to their fries however... I used to pay extra to order "Dillon fries" which was their fries covered in Parmesan and garlic omg sooo crazy good. This used to be especially amazing on the big potato wedges as there was more surface area for the toppings to stick to. Now they have switched to regular skinny French fries and getting them as Dillon fries is not as satisfying.... Everything falls off... The only reason I can think for the switch is to save money as wedges use more potatoes? I really didn't like the change and have not been back since. I have had their burgers, nachos and the best of the breast chicken fingers which are very very tasty dipped in garlic sauce. My mom usually orders the veggie burger and it is really really good. Overall it's a fun place with great food but it just disappointing to go back to your favourite place and have them change a good thing.

This is a good place to eat in Windsor. I have been here twice and it was really yummy both times. They have this special sauce that is full of garlic and I think it has anchovies in it. It is amazing...but be sure to take garlic loving friends with you when you go. I had Cevapi and I love it! It is kind of like kafta, but it has pork, lamb, beef and spices. I think they said it was a Balkan recipe. It was served with the yummy sauce, tomatoes, onions and warm pita pieces. Delish! Definately worth going to. They have a huge menu and lots to choose from. It has always been busy and they have outside seating weather permitting. Enjoy =)

This place has not only gone downhill, it's almost fallen off the continent. Last experience: - Water served tastes like it came out of Adventure Bay next door. Very chlorinated. - Got pop instead. - Notice all chicken on menu is halal. Educate yourself here http://halalfoodauthority.com/definition-of-halal/. Cannot eat halal food. - Half the menu now off limits to our family due to being halal. - French fries taste horrible. Limp, soggy, stale tasting fries with a heap of earth flavouring thrown in. Thought I was eating dirt. - Got Alamo burger. Fried onions, cheese, bacon, bbq sauce. - Onions soaked in oil. Burger bun soggy from all the oil from the onions. - BBQ sauce almost none existent. About the size of your finger nail. Couldn't taste it. - Burger patty not seasoned. At first thought all the juices coming from the burger were from the meat. Turns out its all the oil from the onions. Bubis is now halal so cannot eat here anymore. They also have horrible fries and burgers. Nothing here worth coming back for. Will not eat here again.

This is my all time favorite place to go when I am in Canada. I make sure that I always eat here at least once when I head over the border. Their stir fry, hot wings, and poutine is so delicious. Especially the hot wings. After having them once I was practically obsessed with their wings. I always have a problem with choosing one thing when I go to this restaurant. It's nice comfortable and the wait staff are always helpful and polite. I also like how they serve your drinks in Mason jars, that's pretty cool. If you are ever in the area this is one place I feel you should visit.

5 stars for their bubi's sauce (garlic + creamy) alone. I would eat that on anything and everything. I wasn't so happy about their fries rehaul though. They used to have big wedges, and now they're these skinny, oversalted thingies. Great sweet potato fries, great BLTs. Wraps are underfilled, but burgers and sandwiches are great in general.

What a gem this restaurant is. We met some friends in Windsor for lunch and they took us to this fabulous restaurant. We sat on the patio and had the best 2 hours enjoying the weather, the food, the service and the company. Apparently this place is famous in Windsor but it was new to us. We started with the best poutine ever. I ordered the Chicken Club and girlfriend had the cheese quesadilla. Delicious. Both our husbands ordered the Alamo Burger and raved about it. They serve a selection of craft beers.

Bubi's (pronounced Bubby's) is a long-serving restaurant in Windsor Ontario with an appropriate level of enthusiasm for garlic. Although, sadly, they're no longer open late enough for an after-bar stop, I always appreciated having the option of more interesting menu items even in the dark days before Windsor's culinary awakening. This place is huge and has a beautiful patio I always enjoyed frequenting in the summer. Order anything with Bubi's sauce, which tastes like garlic with garlic added and is especially good with sweet potato fries, for the full Bubi's experience. The burgers are always good and come in multiple sized patties (they always have one on the menu that is so big no one has ever finished it) and for a lighter meal I always enjoyed pairing the cevapi (*so* good) with a salad. Do check this place out, it's so uniquely Windsor and the food is genuinely good.

We stumbled across this restaurant while we were looking for a parking lot in downtown Windsor. The menu has a lot of variety. We shared a garlic bread appetizer, which was fabulous and very garlicky. Served with cloves of roasted garlic and a great cheese blend. For the main meal I opted for the basic burger, which is anything but basic. Hubby went for the shaved philly. Great burger and sandwich, fantastic fries, and highly recommend the Bubi's sauce! Not for the health conscious or every day eating, but if you are looking for a great burger or some fantastic fries, highly recommend you check it out!

Great local place. Hadn't planned on going here but sure glad we did. Local craft beer, nice burgers, great local flare!

I'm in love with sweet potatoe fries and bubi sauce. I should really just order that! I feel compelled to order a burger or wrap(which are good as well) but all I really want are sweet potatoe fries and bubi sauce. The end.
