For those hankering for the kind of comfort food that diners are known for, the wait is over.

There’s a new “kid” in town, located near the confluence of Whitesburg Drive and South Memorial Parkway.

Serving up ’50s style American comfort foods such as hamburgers, French fries, and malts, Bubby’s Diner opens for business Feb. 9.

In addition to time-honored diner fare, there’s also a few interesting twists. Menu items, such as the donut slider, make for a wide-eyed pick-me-up. The slider is served with a choice of bacon or sausage, along with the added options of cheese and egg.

Sandwiches include the Tesla’s Philly cheesesteak sandwich; a fried green tomato BLT; and the Rocket Towne wrap, a spinach, cucumber, and tomato sandwich, all topped with homemade ranch dressing.

For those seeking the “Big Easy” feel, there’s also a fully dressed fried crawfish Po Boy topped with remoulade sauce.

Diners have come to symbolize the period of post-World War II era prosperity, optimism, and hope in 1950s America. Bubby’s represents all of this and more for South Huntsville.

With COVID-19 shuttering the doors of many small businesses and dining establishments, the new restaurant is a welcome addition. Bubby’s Diner is one of several small businesses setting up shop in South Huntsville, thus enhancing the area’s overall “curb” appeal and viability.
