Serving NYC's finest pie

by Pangib

I almost shed a tear when digging into my first pie at DUB.

The owner claims to use only the finest ingredients and judging by the taste he's true to his word.

The pastry is exceptional, soft and buttery enough to melt in your mouth but with just enough crispness to balance each bite. The meat is soft and tender, lacking in fat. Finally the gravies and seasonings are nice and strong without overpowering one's taste buds. For meat-lovers: try the steak 'n' cheese; breakfast or mince 'n' cheese. Vegetarians: the Tex Mex or Spinach and Feta.

Good music, friendly staff, reasonable coffee, relaxed atmosphere.

• Pros: Good quality, authentic pies, delivery options available online

Great taste of Down Under

by blendoh

Having just returned from Australia, I was missing my fix of meat pies. The Dubpies crew delivered steaming hot authentic goodness within an hour of my call, and the product was superb as always. No hesitation in recommending the food or the service...

• Pros: Fast, cheap, gourmet and real coffee

Service is Down Under Acceptable

by GeoffC60

First time I call for delivery, no gravy...I figure let me get the Dub Plate the way it should be, I decline, at least they told me.

Second time I order the Dub Plate, no mention of there being no Gravy. Food arrives, NO GRAVY! OK. The pies are tiny but really good. Not worth $5, but quite delicious. The mashed potatoes and peas in the dub plate? Terrible, ended up pitching them into the garbage, maybe gravy would've helped, who knows.

Third time, I call at 6:00, line is busy. Line was busy for a half hour, are they done delivering for the day?? Menu says open until 10. I order a Pizza instead.

Fourth time I call at 8:30. No more deliveries they tell me. I mention the menu says 10 PM on it, "We really stop an hour earlier than that" I am told. OK, I point out it is only 8:30, not 9:00, but the menu says 10. No good, no food, likely no gravy either.

Fifth time, there is no fifth time, i ripped the menu up and threw it away.

The pies are decent but overpriced at $5 a throw and the Dub Plate? A waste of $9.50.
