Delicious food! Great service! Please open more locations! I know that they just had to make the hard decision to close their other location in Chelsea. I have been here a few times in the past two years and the food never seems to disappoint. It's always tough to choose what to order. The burgers are so filling, my personal favorite is the pit stop. I love the fried egg in it! My husband loves the cheesesteak and the chubba burger. The chicken philly is another favorite as well. The wings are great and we love the sweet potato fries and fried okra. I think that it's exciting to be able to see them on upcoming game days at Alabama. I wish them much success! read more

Chubbfathers - Burgers Near Me - Alabaster, Alabama

Chubbfathers delivered tonight (literally). We both got the Zydeco Burger and it was so good. They're burgers are consistently delicious. I got the fried pickles and he got the tots and we shared. Both were great especially after being delivered, sometimes they get soggy from other restaurants. Anyways, chubbs is our go-to burger spot in alabaster. We love this place. read more

I went to Chubbfather's Saturday for supper. All my usual dining-mates had other plans so I was on my own. There were a few people in line when I got there. Some were picking up to-go orders, some were picking up Grubhub orders and some were like me: in line to order food. I needed time to look over the menu so I stepped out of line. When I stepped back in line one of the cashiers (there were two) noticed, and knew I'd been there longer than some of the Chubby come Latelies and beckoned me over to give my order, which was nice. I got the Vulcan po' boy, all the way. Steak, sausage, onions, Cajun horseradish (I checked to see how spicy it was, since I'm a wimp) and I don't can't remember what else. I selected potato salad for my side. They took my name and gave me my drink and a number placard to put on my table. Then I waited for my food. And waited. And waited some more. There weren't a lot of people dining in, but there were doing a booming take out business. I don't know how many people had called in orders before I arrived (or after I got there, as far as that goes). It took 27 minutes for my food to arrive. Once upon a time that would have me fuming. But times are different now. The last four places I ate told me upfront that they due to the pandemic they were short staffed and wait times were longer than usual. I don't know if that's the case at Chubbfather's, but I have no reason to believe Covid 19 stops at their door. Is it inconvenient to wait half an hour for my food? Yes. Given the plague that's affecting Alabama right now, is that a first world problem? Hell, yes. Let's keep on waiting and see how the rest of the meal goes. The food came out and the spice level was right on the edge of what I can tolerate, I enjoyed the sammich but I took frequent sips of my soda. Two different folks came out frequently to check on how I was doing and provide refills. Maybe the sammich makers were short staffed/overly busy, but the front of the house folks were on the job. I can't say if the potato salad was made in house or came from a tub, but it was NOT your run of the mill potato salad that you get at nine out of ten sandwich shops or restaurants. Bonus points for the potato salad. So...points for being recognized by the cashier. Points for the tasty sandwich and tasty salad. Points for the attentive staff who kept my soda cup filled and checked on my frequently. Minus points for the wait. Three out of four ain't bad. I give Chubbfather's a thumbs up. read more

Chubbfathers - Vulcan Po'Boy with potato salad - Burgers Near Me - Alabaster, Alabama

How have I not heard of this place before? A friend told me about it while we were in the area and so we stopped in to get a bite. Warning...the double burger is massive. Don't order it unless you plan of eating 2/3lb of meat in one sitting. If that is your plan, then feel free to delight in the fresh cooked, greasy deliciousness that is this massive burger. They've got a variety of things on the menu ranging from burgers and fries/tots to po-boys. The portions are huge, the prices are good and they don't start cooking your food until you order it so it comes out fresh and piping hot. Great example of an elevated grease pit type situation. Definitely worth it to stop in and give them a try. read more

Road tripped to Calera to go wine tasting at Corbin Farms and tried out Chubbfather's after seeing the great reviews. We were not disappointed! We were a bit surprised at the interior of Chubbfather's. Not sure why we weren't expecting a divey atmosphere, but that's what we got. We're good with that. You place your order at the counter and they bring your food out to you. My dad got the shrimp poboy, my mom got the sliders, and I got the Zydeco burger, with the onion rings (note that these are very small, thin onion rings, not the thick rings like you'd get in place of French fries) and Cajun horseradish sauce on the side. We all got fries with our meals. My dad liked the poboy a lot, although he couldn't eat it all. Small stomach, he has! My Zydeco burger was probably one of the best burgers I've had in a long time. I wound up liking the onion rings but not the horseradish sauce. Regardless, the burger was juicy, cooked perfectly, with a great ratio of fat, and the BACON was fabulous. Cheese plays well with the flavors, too. My mom felt similarly about her sliders. We all enjoyed the semi-spicy fries, too. Generous portions all around. The only reason this place gets a 4 instead of a 5 is that the bathroom was rather grimy and could only accommodate one person at a time, and the folks who took our order came across as a little impatient. Nothing that'd keep me away from that burger, though! I'd definitely revisit Chubbfather's if given the opportunity. read more

One of the best restaurants I've ever had in Alabama! Customer service is the best I've ever experienced! The food was amazing, they did an amazing job with my chicken philly and they had us waiting no time at all.

Stopped in because I heard the burgers were good and I was glad I did! This burger was top notch. The bread was toasted nicely and all of the toppings were fresh. Nothing on the plate was over cooked. The fries were amazing especially when you dip them in the horseradish sauce. I also really enjoyed the staff. They were so friendly and welcoming it definitely made me want to return to get that burger again. read more

Awesome local restaurant.. One of my favorites is fried okra.. best wings in town. Owners gives back to the community.

Business was hopping here tonight, good for them! We went in to eat but decided to do take out instead as the restaurant was a little too busy for us in consideration of COVID. The staff was super nice and very efficient. Food was very fresh and yummy! We ordered the onion straw appetizer and then added it to our salad and our sandwich....the food was already good without the addition but even better with, haha. I really liked their onion straws! Very thinly sliced and not over breaded. Yum. Portion size was very good too. Ordered inside and they brought it out to the car to us as soon as the food was ready. Again, very friendly staff. I would definitely recommend as well as go again next time I am in the area! read more

Have been here a few times, really since their first location years ago. It's just not th3 same quality. Cheeseburger ok but too salty. Had the Philly Cheese and it was awful. Meat seemed over cooked, cheese too salty. Probably won't be back after our last visit. Service is always exceptional, good folks. read more

Great food and locally owned. The Buffalo chicken fries are awesome and all the sandwiches are so good, the Steak and Egg is my fav! Highly recommend! read more

Pros: Great bar food. The Chub burger as definitely on my top burgers in Alabama list. We got a side of onion strings that were great. Cons: The place was nasty, borderline unhealthy. The unisex bathroom reeked of piss and everything was dirty from the sink to the doorknob. Our table was not clean and the salt and pepper shakers were crusted up with dust and greasy/sticky fingerprints. We tried some from another table, but it was the same. Conclusion: The food is great, but you should do carry out only. There is no way the staff can see the need to clean and not do it. They just choose not to. read more

A really good burger was the consensus of the table, but a bit messy. I ordered my chubba sans onions but it came with those anyway. Didn't kick up a fuss since they were sautéed down to almost soup and it's raw onions that really give me issues. The tall kid scarfed the chicken down about as fast as humanly possible. Fries were fresh and crisp. Service was perfect and the restaurant theme/motto/message was present throughout in service, preparation and delivery, and we appreciate that in a business. read more

First of all the owner is a truly amazing person. They do so much philanthropy and they don't seek out attention, they just do it because it's good and right. The employees wear shirts that simply say "Love Everybody" You taste the love and joy in their food. The burgers are truly epic. The best burger IMHO, is the zydeco. They take their massive fire broiled burger patty and add cheese, Cajun horseradish sauce, fried onions and shredded lettuce. If your really hungry, make it a double! The po-boys and cheesesteaks are also very tasty and anything with that Cajun horseradish is grub-worthy. Their fries are great, regular and sweet potato, but I love to get the fried okra. It hand breaded and delicious. With great food and great people, I'm so happy to have the Chubbfather in our neighborhood! read more

I've eaten here 3 times. Twice at the brick and mortar and once at the trick. I got the chubba twice and a chicken Philly cheesesteak. About we're delicious. The burger is a mess and I love that. Similar to the Milos Mega meal hamburger with honey mustard. You almost have to get a wash up after you eat either because of all the sauce. Chicken Philly was the perfect size and the bread was soft. I love their fries, sometimes I don't think they give enough but that's a minute complaint. I look forward to trying other items on the menu. read more
