It's not one of Gordon Ramsay's restaurants, but Bubbles is good for what it is. It's grown to be a distinguishing part of Mechanicville and has been here for as long as I can remember. It's been around longer than a lot of residents -- myself included -- have been alive. Longevity is a factor to consider, so you have to give them some credit for that.
It's really your standard diner sort of place, and is known (as the bigass ice cream cone on the roof suggests) for its ice cream.
If you go here expecting the most amazing, upscale, high-quality meal of your life, your perceptions are completely off-base and I would encourage you to seek out a psychiatrist. For what it is (which should be obvious from looking at the place), it works well, and on that basis I'd recommend it. -

I've been coming here since I was a kid. Every Sunday morning after church we would come to Bubbles for breakfast. Their omelette's are good and just the right size. I get spoiled with the Italian toast because the wait staff makes it for me out in the dinning room because I like it dark. Home fries I always order with my breakfast are always deep fried, you have to ask for them or else they are going to give you just regular home fries, I love them! Coffee is always hot and fresh. If you go there for lunch or dinner I love all their soups. Their tiny hot dogs with the works are always on point . Another fav of mine is their turkey club, yummy. If you have dessert I recommend their Raspberry pie, it is the best raspberry pie I have ever eaten and believe me I am eaten my fare of raspberry pie. They also have soft and hard ice cream.

Although Bubbles is popular amongst my friends, I personally haven't been impressed. I've eaten there twice and both times found my meals substandard.
Most recently, the tomato sauce over my Chicken Parmesan was thin and watery and the pasta was overcooked.
Granted, this could have been bad luck. Given its reputation, I'd be wiling to give Bubbles one more try. -

Bubbles is a popular family restaurant serving homestyle breakfast, lunch, and dinner at affordable prices. They offer the typical breakfast dishes (served all day), sandwiches, burgers, hot dogs, appetizers, sides, soups, salads, seafood, steaks, chicken, pork chops, and desserts (cakes, pies, and mostly ice cream treats).
The atmosphere inside has a homey diner feel with booth seating, table seating, and lunch counter stool seating. There are pictures of railroad and Mechanicville history on the walls. In the nicer weather, they have an outside ice cream takeout window and covered outdoor seating.
I've eaten good breakfasts here quite a bit in the late 1990s when I had to drop my Mom off at work nearby. The omelettes, homefries, and fritata are my breakfast favorites here. Recently, I stopped here for lunch and it's seat yourself, so I sat down at a comfy booth. The lunch counter seats are a bit uncomfortable. I ordered some daily specials including the very smooth and creamy Macaroni & Cheese ($3.75), and Bob's Beef Special ($5.95), which was thinly sliced beef, bacon, Swiss cheese, tomatoes, horseradish, & Russian dressing in grilled rye bread served with crispy and soft fries & pickle. I dipped the fries into the macaroni and cheese and the sandwich was very tasty, good, and buttery. I even saw "Bob" in the kitchen get my order ready. There was a recent story about Bob in the Times Union as part of the Mechanicville Losers (ML), a spinoff to NBC's "The Biggest Loser." http://timesunion.com/...
Overall, the food here is delicious and the prices are very reasonable. The service was good and efficient with my server checking up on me. I wish I lived closer to Bubbles because I'd be eating here more often and most likely begin to resemble a Big "Bubble." heheListed in: Diners

I loved this place as a child. Lately, it seems the quality of the food, dining room and service have dropped a bit. Still one of my destinations for an east coast fish fry and a soft serve cone, though.
