Best Poboys anywhere! I live up north... People up there have no idea what they're missing. read more

Good chicken but more expensive than Brothers (yuck) but less expensive than Popeyes and KFC. Drive up service is kinda slow but I tend to order a lot in feeding 13 people so I shouldn't complain! Their sides are good and the employees are very friendly . The read more

The owner lied about the chicken being fresh I ordered several things chicken was old Beans smelled like they were going bad and a lil burnt Rice dressing was stank The wait time was long Never going back New owners brought the food quality down read more

The wonton soup never disappoints. It's always fresh and it actually gives me energy.

THE BEST FRIED CHICKEN IN THE STATE OF LOUISIANA. My favorite biscuit of all time! This place is always packed. Wait times can be long, but I've never felt like it wasn't worth it! The chicken has the perfect amount of spice and crunch. The biscuit is buttery and soft. I get sad when I finish it. It's definitely worth getting an extra. I also love their chicken tenders. They're huge and juicy. Not a fan of the 2 sauce options they have which are bbq and honey mustard. I used to love going on fridays when the shrimp etouffee is served! I also like their hamburger steak. This is a hidden gem. They're an old Popeyes location so they even have a drive thru. I will forever wish they were open on weekends since I don't live in the area anymore. I can't imagine disliking anything from here. Go ahead and change your life and check it out. read more

Chubbie's Fried Chicken - 3 piece dark with biscuit and fries - Seafood Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Ordered the Shrimp poboy today it was delicious and overstuffed. Will be going back for this poboy .

Chubbie's is probably the best fried chicken in New Orleans on the slick. Definitely the Westbank.

A little pricey. However, the flavor backs it up! Even with the long line! It went quick!

Awesome food. Everyone should try Chubbies. The shrimp poboys are amazing loaded with perfectly cooked shrimp.

We used to love this place. Last time we ordered from here, it was a big disappointment. Chicken was oily and lacked flavor. The roast beef plate, that was a shame. It's basically a roast beef poboy on a plate. It's been good Chubbie's. On to the next... read more

I read in the local newspaper how good the chicken is. Went there and ordered 4 pieces with red beans. I also ordered a cup of the sausage gumbo. Chicken and gumbo was very good. red beans were really thick and dark. The beans had a good flavor but i had to mix it with water to loosen it up read more

I can't stand when people rush you in the drive thru when placing an order. Then when you correct them at the window they get mad and have an attitude with you. However the food was good and fresh read more

Chubbie's Fried Chicken - Waiting for chicken - Seafood Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

The best within a hundred mile radius, probably further than that if i were to go looking. Also gt the biscuits instead of rolls they are heavenly. Dont listen to those fake shows on tv about the best places to eat in NOLA. They're full of shit and have no seasoning to make the tourists happy. Yall know they aint got no real seasoning up there and on the west coast. read more

Who needs Popeyes, Church's, or Raising Canes, when you have Chubbs! I had the chicken strips and they were HUGE! Seasoned on the spicier side, which I love. Definitely a good place for some comfort food! read more

Food is cooked to order at Chubbies, so it's always hot and fresh. Fried chicken is excellent, but on this visit I tried the fish and shrimp combo. I enjoyed it as much as their chicken. Chubbies has the best biscuits and delicious sides as well. The staff are helpful, friendly, and always have a smile for you. read more

The best fried chicken in NOLA or at least the Westbank. People line right up for this place and they can sling the food. Their chicken is the best I've had and they have the oft times hard to find livers and gizzards. Their sides are good and their biscuits....well they are dangerous. I get an extra half dozen biscuits to share or make for the next days breakfast. The price is right the portions are right and the people are friendly. Get ya some. read more

Their chicken is pretty average, really nothing worth writing home about. Reminds me a lot of Church's or the chicken at Golden Corral. Sides aren't too great, but the biscuits and onion rings are pretty solid. read more

It's an old, stand alone bldg with a drive thru window and few employees. Inside there are maybe 4 tables. It was busy when I went on a Tuesday afternoon. THE FOOD: I ordered a 4 piece with fries and a biscuit. Great fried chicken, a bit spicy, well made. It's super hot, right out of the fryer. Crunchy skin, tasty batter. Also got a biscuit which was awesome! French fries were so-so. They're those large ones that stay limp and don't crisp up. It's good stuff! read more

The best.... The food tasted fresh the fries had a nice crispy to it. The chicken taste like it was cooked in fresh clean grease.

I've eaten at Chubbie's since I was a teenager. After Katrina, I moved away but dreamed of thise hot fresh biscuits Mr. Gary made. Upon returning to New Orleans, I made a beeline for my teen delight and the first bite of biscuit made me want to cry. It was even better than I remembered. The chicken was hot and juicy and everything I coyld have wanted. Over the past 5 years I have branched out to the hamburger po-boy (dressed of course) and the muffaletta. Omg, he muffaletta is to DIE for. Perfect balance of crisp bun, hot meat, melted cheese and olive salad. I have never been disappointed in Chubbie's (except they're closed on weekends) read more

Quite simply, Chubbies exemplifies the fried chicken archetype! The crust on the chicken is appropriately salted, the batter fairly neutral, and the meat very moist (even on the breasts). I've done their drivevthrough 6 or so times in the last year, and it never fails me, but sometimes makes me wait! I've got a habit of showing up around 6:15 in the evening which is 15 minutes before closing time. About half the time they need to fry up some new pieces to complete my 9-piece box for $11.99, but it ain't a problem. You wait your extra 15 or so minutes, and out comes some perfectly cooked fried chicken. Crispy, crunchy, and certainly not too greasy... well, it is fried chicken, so greasy comes with the territory. If reliable and flavorful (but not spicy) chicken and other sides are what you desire, swing by Chubbies. I'm not the world's most patient person, but its become a fun ritual of sorts to pick up grub from the Chubb. read more

No joke , probably the best roast beef po-boy I've ever eaten. What a little gem of place. read more

Better than average fried chicken and definitely much better than gas station fried chicken (I'm talking about you Brothers). I got the three piece (breast, thigh and wing) with red beans and rice. Definitely enough food for lunch. Chicken skin was light and airy not heavy and breaded. This chicken leans towards the light spicy side so if you're sensitive to that beware. As far as I know they don't offer a non spicy version. I was pleasantly surprised that the whole bottom of the styrofoam plate was red beans and rice (not a small side container). Red beans tasted like genuine New Orleans style red beans. That being said Chubbie's passes the taste test. The ambiance of the place or lack thereof is another thing all together. The restaurant barely qualifies as a dine in establishment. There are only six small tables and twelve chairs. I didn't know it but I sat next to the trash receptacle so I had everyone brushing past me to empty their tray in the slot. I looked around there really wasn't any room to put it anywhere else. This place was obviously one of the first Popeyes Fried Chicken restaurants which did not have seating to begin with. Yes I'll be back but I'll probably get take out. read more

I had the 3 piece with red beans and sweet tea. Chicken was hot, juicy, and dripping with flavor... and the beans were so good with rice and chunks of sausage. Top it off with a biscuit and BAM! A very tasty lunch. read more

Wow! Not only was the chicken good... the onion rings are crispy and delicious BUT the biscuit is to DIE FOR! only it's like a crack biscuit! I had never been and my boyfriend has been wanting to try it for a very long while, he's the fried chicken fiend out of the two of us. He loved it and so did I do we have a new chicken stop when we have time to go to AG. The chicken is hot crispy and juicy! I really want to try some of the hot plate daily specials too! Keeping them bookmarked so I will have a reminder to go back! read more

This was a really tough call, but I think I'm going to go with three stars on this one. All this talk about the best fried chicken in New Orleans got my inner fat kid hungry, and since one of the candidates is located right in Algiers, I decided to head over and try it for myself. Now, when you go to Chubbie's don't expect bells and whistles. It's just a small store with a few tables where you walk up to order and wait a few minutes for your food to be ready. Yes, it's an old Popeyes that has been converted into another chicken place. I went in for lunch and placed an order for a two piece white with potato salad, a drink and a biscuit. There wasn't much of a crowd, so there wasn't much of a wait. When my food came out, I was delighted at how crispy the chicken looked. There was seriously a thick layer of crust on the breast, the likes of which I rarely see. As I dug into the chicken, I noticed that it was perfectly cooked to tender perfection. The meat fell off of the bone and there was plenty of it. The skin was light and crispy and practically melted in my mouth. My only real complaint with the chicken was that there was no spice added to it. I like my fried chicken to have a bit of a kick (I am a Southern girl, after all) and this chicken had no kick at all. It was without a kick. Also, the potato salad tasted store bought. I apologize right now if it wasn't. Maybe I am super picky when it comes to potato salad, because I've had the homemade stuff. While it was good, I think I will opt for the mashed potatoes next time. All in all, for a little over $6, my meal was good and I enjoyed it, I left Chubbie's satisfied and promising myself that I would eat healthy for the rest of the week. I wouldn't hesitate to return to Chubbie's with a bottle of hot sauce in tow. If chicken isn't your thing, Chubbie's has daily hot plate specials as well as poboys, burgers, salads and other sandwiches. They even have a drive thru! read more

Chubbie's Fried Chicken - Two piece white meat - Seafood Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Chubbies has been making the westbank chubbier for years. This small store is much more than just fried chicken. In fact, I don't know if I have ever had their chicken. What I have had here has been the shrimp po-boy, chicken po-boy and shrimp salad. All were very good. The po-boys use the proper bread and are loaded with shrimp or your choice of toppings. The shrimp salad comes either fried or grilled, but both are good. This place is far from fancy, and does get very crowded. I recommend avoiding the drive thru unless you like a long wait. If they answer the phone, I would call ahead and order. The staff is friendly and does a good job taking and delivering your order. Pay attention to your number when you order. You will need to listen when they yell it out. Enjoy. read more

Wanted to add my experience with Chubbies. I grew up in Algiers and once this place changed from Sunrise Chicken to Chubbies, the quality increased big time! If you haven't, please try the roast beef Poboy! I used to get this for my late Father, roast beef, Swiss, mayo and tomato only. They got it right everytime. And it was easily a 4" stack of napkins...super messy. The rest is good there but if your feeling like a roast beef, give Chubbies a try!! read more

Chubbie's Fried Chicken - Seafood Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Best chicken in town!!!!! Grew up two streets down and it's still the best fried crunchiest, and most juicy bite of chicken. Handdown!!!

I've seen this place once or twice, being not froom the area or familiar with it...I drove past without stopping....well today I stopped and it was the best decision I made! I went safe and got the shrimp poboy and onion rings. Let me jussi say that the shrimp were fresh and battered and fried to perfection. The onion rings home made and delicious. The poboy had a lot of mayo which is perfect for me. Usually when I ask to have ketchup added it's always so skimpy but not here- my sandwich was perfect, I didn't have to add anything. If I have one negative thing to say I would have liked to be able to order a small poboy but the either have it on bun or an 8 inch. I can't wait to go back and try the daily specials, the chicken and other items. read more

I dream about the biscuits every night. If they sold nothing but biscuits it would be worth the trip, but the chicken is fantastic too. The breading has a slight hint of spice, not as much as Popeye's but enough to know it's there. They make everything fresh, so be prepared for a wait, but it is absolutely worth it. Also, there are tables but it's really more of a takeout place. They would get five stars if they were open later or on the weekends. Make it work, you won't regret it. read more

TIP: $10 minimum if paying by credit card. And if you're getting a to-go order, they don't automatically include napkins so be sure to ask for them if you need them. This chicken is so freakin' good it should be illegal. Just... WOW. BEST fried chicken I've ever had, anywhere, in my entire life. Yes, it really is that good. It is WELL worth driving a little ways out of down town for! This chicken is incredibly juicy with a savory and totally flavorful taste in the meat, while still being extra crispy and crunchy in the skin/coating. It is not at all greasy. The seasoning is super unique, and just the perfect amount of salty. The skin does not all slide off, so you can enjoy the skin/coating bite by bite instead of it all coming off at once. The red beans and rice was among the best we had in NOLA. If I HAD to find something to knock, the biscuits were a little bit heavy on the butter, but... That's hardly a complaint. This place freakin' rocks, and was a steal of a deal. GO TRY THIS CHICKEN! You won't regret it. Except that it'll ruin all other fried chicken for you, forever. read more

Ordered 2 piece chicken with red beans the chicken was good but the red beans were scorched could not eat them I was disappointed so if a place can serve this it means I will not go back again read more

Good comfort food when you need it. That you have drive thru convenience makes it better.

The food here is just awesome! I probably won't go to any other place to get fried chicken or seafood! The way they treat their customers is great. read more

I love this place ,I come all the way from Little woods for the chicken,red beans,and the onion rings

Best fried chicken in New Orleans. Onion rings banging! All of it- can't go wrong. New owners continuing with the same tried and true recipes and the new owner is so friendly/customer oriented! Seriously, Diners,Drive in's, &Dives needs to see about this place! read more

The chicken is on the level with Popeyes. The biscuits taste like homemade. Be ready to wait in a long line just like Popeyes.

Chicken is always hot and fresh! Taste like someone purchased Popeyes mild chicken and reselling it!

Gotta give em' 4 stars. I only got a piece of chicken and a biscuit. Both were good. The chicken was hot, fresh, and tasty. It put me in the mind of a Church's Chicken with the crust even though I very rarely eat Churchs. No knock on Churchs, I love me some Popeyes baby. I like the fact that you can buy a one-piece here. I must say, they do good fried chicken, didn't try any sides though. Had no idea it was wayyyyy on the Westbank either, in Algiers I believe. Staff was friendly. read more
