Some of our friends moved into the area and so they tried to replace our hometown tavern with this one. My wife and I groan almost every time they suggest it. It’s almost always poorly lit and so loud you can’t talk to the person next to you without being horse after you leave. I understand it’s a bar, but do you have to have the volume at a level that’s normally reserved for movie theatre sound commercials? I’m not sure how the drinks are because the prices are high enough that I don’t find the drinks worth trying. The food prices are almost just as high and the food is almost always underwhelming. The best thing I’ve had here are the potato wedges covered in bacon and cheese. I really enjoy those. I’ve had the mushroom burger and it’s decent but almost always overcooked and dry. I had the Cajun blue cheese burger this weekend and it was awful. The burger patty had so much Cajun seasoning on it that it left a fair amount of powder and salt in your mouth. Our friends love the stuffed pretzels, when they are available.(They’re on the menu, how can you be out of these things so consistently?) Everything on the menu sounds really good and there are definitely some great ideas there, but the product rarely delivers. I have, however, had pretty decent service most of the times we’ve been here. All in all if it weren’t for our friends defaulting to this place, it wouldn’t even be on my radar. Two stars because the wait staff has always seemed to do a nice job.

Was there with 5 other friends this past Saturday for the Michigan game this was my first time trying this place to watch a sporting event I have been to many other sports bars to watch events and I have to say this place is really laid-back family-friendly and a customer service is great also and the food was unbelievable the waitress told us when we got there they were famous for their burgers and she did not lie very great place and I will return again to watch more sporting events. Thank u

I hope to come back soon. The menu was very reasonable priced. The food was delicious. I ordered the Rodeo burger and was quite happy with my choice. The fries were great! Beer prices were average. The reason for not giving 5 stars was the noise. It is incredibly hard to hear the person you’re sitting across from as noise travels very easily. I do recommend trying their food though!

They have items on the menu that they don’t even have like the portobello mushrooms for an appetizer. So I’m guessing the sandwich isn’t available either. Take it off the darn menu. All you need is a sticker or a sharpie and cross it out or find another supplier. I’ll even let them borrow mine. The waitress we had is more concerned with her hair and appearance than helping the customer. They had maybe 25 people in the whole place so they definitely weren’t busy. When we walked in the music was so loud and obnoxious it was a piercing noise after a few minutes they finally turned it down a little. It was crystal clear that the owner wasn’t there.

I had the rebel burrito which is basically a BBQ Pulled Pork sandwich in burrito form. It was very good. The burrito didn’t come with any sides but I ordered some fries which were good but nothing special. The food was a tad over priced but exceptable. The atmosphere was clean and bright. The service was good. My waitress was very good and friendly. I will be back!

The food was terrible. My sister ordered a salad that was supposed to be loaded with fresh veggies and it was missing half of what it said in the menu. I ordered chips and cheese, it was shredded cheese microwaved/melted on cheap tortilla chips. It came with salsa, that tasted like it had been served straight from a tostitos jar. We will not be returning.

My family loved the huge wet burritos and they were reasonably priced. Music was a little loud for dinner crowd but it is a bar. So a quieter location for people just dining would be nice.

Chubbys is always good/ok. The staff have always been very friendly and the décor is average. The drink and food prices are in the high end of the ballpark for what you’re getting. Depending on what you’re into there’s several good options in the same area.

Went there for the first time tonight. It was pretty empty for a Friday night at 6:00. I asked about beer special s and our waitress only said Miller High Life for two bucks. I was hoping for something better but oh well, it was not a bad deal and was actually cheaper than my wife’s diet coke. For dinner I had the jalapeño burger. It was good but there were only a few potato wedges. Not much for $ 10. My wife had a burger and liked hers as well. Our daughter had some kind of macaroni and cheese poppers that were boiling hot. The atmosphere was ok. There were tvs but there was really nothing special. Over all I would rather go to Buffalo Wild Wings or Ucellos.

Service was poor and the draft beer was warm and the excuse was that only the 32 oz. mugs are chilled! No one wants warm beer and our waitress did not attempt to remedy the issue, so we put ice in our beer

I had a bacon cheese burger and fries. I thought the flavor was on but the price was a little steep for what you get. the dining area was clean and the staff was attentive. Noise level was ok for an open floor plan. Good ice tea !

My friends that live close to Chubbys, love this place. I always assumed they liked it so much due to lack of bar and restaurant options in that area but I decided to check it out to see for sure. The décor of the restaurant/bar has a casual, fun biker feel to it. The place is larger then I initially thought but it’s just one big room, which was a big turn off to me. It’s not divided out into a restaurant area and a bar area and from what I saw there are no booths for privacy. I was there are 6pm for a happy hour, and it looked like several other groups were there for the same purpose. So when a few families with kids arrived and were seated near us, it quickly became uncomfortable. While it’s entirely reasonable for a family to want dinner at 6pm, it probably would’ve been more comfortable for the family as well as the happy-hour tables, if there was a separate«restaurant» section and a designated«bar» area. Those way adults could have a few drinks after work without worrying about offending little ears. I must say, they have phenomenal happy hour specials. I visited on a Wednesday and they have $ 2 Coors light bottles. Can’t beat that! The waitress showed up quickly to take my order. My drink came out equally as quickly. My friends tell me that their burgers are fantastic but being a vegetarian, I ordered a Portobellos Melt wrap. It wasn’t what I expected, taste-wise, but it was ok. I didn’t realize it was fried mushroom so that’s what threw me off. Otherwise, the fries were great: thick cut and fresh. Our server did a great job checking on our drinks and making sure our waters were filled(a pet peeve of mine when servers forget to refill waters). The restaurant and bathrooms were clean and tidy. There were plenty of servers and staff present to greet serve customers. Every employee I passed on my way to the bathroom or walking in was friendly and helpful. I’m not sure I’ll be back soon just because I don’t live close by but if there’s a reason I’m out this way again(without kids in tow), I would be open to stopping by again for the great service and good drink specials.

I loved Chubby’s! The staff is wonderful, and the food was really good. I had the jalapeño burger, and some beer. Both were really good!

I’m pretty familiar with the area and was debating where to go with the family since we did have a small child with us and that can make or break our decision. Chubby’s sounded like it was kid friendly ;) so we drifted inside. We were helped right away and the service stayed consistent the entire meal. Lots of beers on tap and daily food specials, although they were out of a few items, it just made our decisions a little easier. I modified their French Dip with cheese and mushrooms, wife had the hot beef w/mash and gravy sandwich, father in law had the burger and mother in law got the Cod special. Each and every one of us really liked our food, even from a place that seems to really just wants to be a sports bar. This should be a good fit for the area.

It’s been awhile since we had eaten at Chubby’s so we decided to try it out again a few days ago. It’s a bar type restaurant with various TV’s scattered around the place, a little noisy inside, but that is to be expected. I was in the mood for a burger so I ordered the Cajun Bleu Burger with fries. The food came out quickly and it was pretty good. The burger had just the right amount of cajun seasoning and bleu cheese sauce. I didn’t care so much for the fries. They were like potato wedges with a different tasting seasoning on them. Not the greatest, IMO. The service was very good and the waitress kept my glass full which, to me, is important. Not a bad place to go for a quick burger/sandwich if you are in the area.

It’s right around the corner so its slowly becoming a regular grab a quick lunch or beer or appetizer spot for us. It trys hard to be a biker bar but with the high ceilings, no indoor smoking and overall large open area it doesn’t come off as a biker bar other than the wall decorations. I have seen bikers in there but they don’t look like tough bikers so they fit inside Chubby’s, haha. The burgers are good homemade flat-style patties. Reminds me of Culver’s style burgers but larger, good fries. We’ll continue to go when we need/want a bar setting but can’t get downtown.
