A classic bowling alley vibe with a fun menu with everyone's favorites. It's clean and crowded! We sat at the bar and were waited on very quickly and efficiently by a very friendly bar tender! I got the satellite dish sized pork tenderloin sandwich. I requested cheese and a side of coleslaw ... because that's how all God's children should eat a pork tenderloin!!! It was the most amazing pork tenderloin sandwich I've ever had! We got onion petals - 10 out of 10! And my husband got the Buffalo chicken sandwich proclaiming: "it's excellent!" read more

Wow, this place needs an attitude adjustment! Every single waitress was unfriendly and acted like they didn't want to be here. Zero smiles and no friendly greeting. The bartender was obviously pissed at someone, she had a scowl on her face through the whole service! The only reason for 2 stars instead of 1 is because my burger was served (with attitude) in a timely manner and was cooked to a perfect rare as I had ordered. Finally got a smile from bartender when it came time for her tip! read more

Visited Lake Wawasee this past weekend and took full advantage of being "on vacation" and enjoyed ALL the comfort foods. Chubbie's came highly recommended and was an easy decision. Loaded tots and $0.69 wings made for a late lunch/ early dinner. Service was fast, friendly and (af)fordable! We sat in the bar area but there was a family dining area in a larger room with bowling alley. read more

Terrible service. I came with my family and started bowling. We ordered drinks and got myself a pitcher. I waited a good 30 minutes and then I had to remind my server and when I mentioned it she was lost and had completely forgot what I ordered. Along with the drinks we got an order of wings and fries. We finished bowling and still hadn't received our food while people around us ordered after we did and still managed to receive their food before us. There's many good spots and this just isnt one of them. I don't recommend this place at all. read more

Was hoping this would be a solid joint, but the chain spots definitely are easily better with more well seasoned food. When I was there, it was just me and my buddy. No one else in the place. After ordering, we sat down and could pretty easily hear the staff insulting us in Spanish (pretty common 2nd language). Then after our food came out they began blasting the music. Kind of seemed like they didn't want us there. Won't be back. read more

Calling in to order food requires a little patience, due to the bowling alley and bar noise in the background. We were told that the pizzas at Chubbies are hand made and delicious. The pizza is 16", the crust was chewy, foldable, with plenty of sausage,mushrooms and green peppers. Needless to say we loved the pizza and will be ordering more. The salads are also very good plentiful. read more

First night in Wawasee and decided to try Chubbie's. I ordered the all you could eat fish and shrimp. I've never tried fish jerky before and Hope never to again. As you can see in the picture the fish wasn't even white! I ordered a second batch thinking maybe it was a fluke....nope I got jerky again. Fries and hush puppies were pretty good read more

I usually enjoy chubbies. Not today. Sever never checked on me, never filled my water, and about had to hog tie her to get a box.

We've eaten here often when we're in town. I wanted to update my review due to the service we just received while there. When we got there, the place wasn't very busy, maybe 4 out of 20 tables were occupied in the front room. We sat and our server came over immediately with menus and said she would return to take drink orders. 5 minutes later she was back. We gave her our drink orders and 5 minutes later she was back with the drinks. She took our food orders. The place started filling up as it was after noon and the summer lake crowd is in town. While we were waiting on our food, she checked in with us three times to make sure we were good, the third time telling us our order would be up next. The food came and while we were eating she checked in with us 3 times to see if we needed anything else. The place was filled up with every table occupied. I started watching her and she was providing the same service to all of her tables. When she came with the bill, I asked her her name and she said Lex. I'm not sure I'm spelling it correctly. I want to give Lex kudos for the great service we (and every table) received. It's rare these days to have such personal service being provided in a restaurant. Lex was amazing and made our meal experience very enjoyable. BTW, the food was good as always. read more

I've been coming to chubbies for YEARS. It's a great spot for food and bowling. The best day is Tuesday's tenderloins, you can't be the pricing. We recently hit up the Sunday Bloody Mary bar and had wings, Greta way to start the week! read more

Breaded Tenderloins today way overcooked. Normally they are very good. Had the same issue with the fish last time I had it. Need to work on consistency. Lettace was limp. read more

My daughter and I stopped here after a softballgame. I did not realize the restaurant was inside the bowling alley. Service was good and so was the food. My daughter enjoyed the chicken fingers and I had a buffalo chicken sandwich. read more

Casual, fun spot with excellent food and a bowling alley attached. This place has some of the best wings in the area and cheap beer. Chef Craig does an outstanding job. Go here. Now. read more

Food is pretty good. Pizza is the nest item I've had. We like going on Monday to bowl and have pizza. The service is okay. The atmosphere is okay. read more

This is a local restaurant inside of a bowling alley. Great atmosphere with outstanding service. We have been getting the roadside bbq for over a year. This is the first time eating inside. We ordered the homemade dill pickle chips and gizzards. I ordered the homemade hand breaded pork tenderloin and my wife ordered a mushroom Swiss burger. Oh my gosh the gizzards are sweet and tender. Great! The pickle chips are thick and have a super light breading just awesome!! The pork tenderloin should be on the Indiana Tenderloin Trail. It is just perfect. Pounded out thin but not too thin. Light breading with balanced seasoning. I would recommend it. My wife's mushroom and Swiss burger was juicy and seasoned well with a pepper as the main flavor. Misty our server took time to tell us about specials during the week so we could come back. She was a perfect match to help decide what to have. I would tell you to come in and try it. read more

Every time I go here I'm surprised by how good the food is for the price. Went in today for the wings. Decided to get the bbq ribs, smoker potatoes and mac and cheese for $9.99 and added a few of the wings for .49 cents.. could hardly finish the rib platter so I'm taking home wings for later. They have they're own smoker so these ribs are KILLER... sauce is also delicious. Potatoes and mac and cheese all on the smoker. Very good dinner for $10.. I've never had something bad from here. Tenderloins are on sale Tuesdays. Thursday's are half pound cheeseburgers. Can't miss with this place. Great food at a great price read more

We like to wonder off and try new places. Today's place is Chubbie's Pub N Grub. I have to say, everything was delicious. It was served in a decent time and was very hot!! We had cheese sticks, the bbq boneless wings, mild buffalo wings, fries and a pepperoni pizza. Hands down delicious food. If we had to swing by this town again we would stop for a bite. read more

I asked if they could do my burger rare and she said "we'll try"?! What kind of reply is that? Our waitress was friendly but she seemed a little frazzled. The wait for our orders was a long one and when the food finally arrived my burger and fries were lukewarm and my burger was like shoe leather! I will think twice about coming here again. read more

Foolishly waited two hours for cold wings. The racists sitting behind us was the icing on the cake.

I have previously rated Chubbie's a 5 as a great neighborhood bar food joint. But tonight, Friday night, my wife and I went for the AYCE fish special which we have had in the past. Fish was good, but....I was charged 50 cents for tartar sauce, and my wife 50 cents for cocktail sauce. I have never, after maybe hundreds of fish dinners been charged for the sauce. When I got the bill I asked the waitress if they were charging for the sauce, she said yes. Only $1, but I was surprised with the charge. If they charge for it, they should tell you up front as I think everyone....everyone...would expect it to be included. After I paid the bill I asked for the manager, who I was told was out. I then went to the bartender and told her I was surprised with the charge. She asked who the waitress was, and told me...and her that they don't charge for either sauce with the AYCE dinner. I told her I had already paid the bill, she did not offer to refund the $1 overcharge which she admitted. I would have taken $1 out of the register and apologized for the overcharge. Again she admitted I was overcharged but allowed me to leave without reimbursement. I got the impression they assume most people won't notice, or complain, so some extra bucks. Again, this had been one of our favorite local places but very disappointed in this situation. The low rating is based on this bad experience, not the food. I can't rate a restaurant over 1 star if they admit to an overcharge but don't refund you money on the overcharge. It is like they are stealing from you. Only a dollar, but the principal. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Follow up......Saturday morning after the incident.....got response from owner via Facebook ...where I also posted the overcharge. Apologized, and wants to make it right...assume he/she will do so. If they do, I would excuse the incident as they are correcting the server mistake. Great that owner follows comments on social media and responds. Note---received gift certificate to make up for overcharge error, so happy now. read more

Service has really gone down hill. Week nights you might as well plan on 2 hours of your life gone. Weekends, don't even attempt! Bar staff are more occupied with talking to their friends. We watched kitchen staff spend 13 min talking to a table while we were never asked for our first drink choice. Bartender basically threw out menus at us on her way by, then continued to take drink request from people just walking in. We waited a solid 17 mins with no drink order prior to walking out. Last time we were here we waited 12, then another 38 for our food. The food isn't great, it's more convenient for us full time lake people. It's worth the drive to goshen to avoid this place! read more

Pretty darn good food and great prices. That's a winning combination. It's a very casual atmosphere, as one might expect at a pub attached to a bowling alley. Gets a little noisy at times, but it is a friendly place to go. read more

1st timers our group of 4. On a busy Sunday before 04July. We called before arriving and was told not busy at all. That apparently changed in 15 minutes. We found a table quickly. That's the good news. A server - not so quickly. Got our drink orders then 30 minutes after forever we recv'd our drinks from a different server. We order fajita steak salad, mexican, tenderloin and a pile (16) of garlic parm bone in chicken wings. A solid 30 minutes later, we get our food and most of the party is happy but for me and my wings. Not piping hot but had been cooked through [some time ago]. These are room temp smeared in a thick white TASTELESS sauce (no parm, no garlic, no salt). I believe it was a mix of cream cheese and sour cream w/ no seasonings. And the wings weren't warm enough to melt it. As much as I wished to send them back I'd already waited over an hour in the place. Orders ran abt $10/head before drinks and tippage. My sis-in-law loves the place. Us, not so much. Slow service, under staffed and a bit high. It'll be a long time before I give another go. read more

Great food great servers. Unfortunately you cant play the jukebox with more than 2 people in the bar cause it is very low and no one has a remote. Dont waste your money.. How can you leave a staff to tend to people and people spend money on a jukebox that absolutely no one can hear!! read more

First visit the Burgers were good but too long of wait to get the food. Waitress was great. Our 2nd visit the pizza was ok nothing special. Reminds me of Bourbon Street pizza. Soft crust. beer was good and cold. Waitress was great again. read more

Used to enjoy a tenderloin every week from Chubbies when I worked in Syracuse!! They have great deals daily on their specials board making dining out extremely cost effective. Although sometimes the service is a little on the slow side, the food sure does make up for the wait. read more

I've been here 5 minutes and the thing that I wanted, the buffalo burger which is still on the menu, they don't have anymore. You probably should get a new menu if you stopped carrying something. I then requested a television to be changed to the Big Ten Network. The waitress came back and said there was someone watching the race that was on the television. This wasn't true and I am assuming the owner doesn't like to change channels because I've ran into this before. BTN should probably be on one of the 8 TVs in this place. read more

As always, my wife wrote this for her Facebook Friends. According to the website "Only In Indiana," Chubbie's Pub & Grub in Syracuse ranks among the top 20 best pork tenderloins in the state. So, being the ever-adventurous food hobbyists, we went off for a taste of fame. Chubbie's isn't difficult to find. It's partnered with Wawasee Bowl on S. Huntington Street. We arrived just after 12:30 and the place was jumping with business which told us it's got to be good---and we weren't wrong! This is a place where hamburgers are handcrafted, meats are slow-roasted in house and the tenderloins are personally hand trimmed and tenderized. Not wasting a lot of time on the menu, we went straight for the breaded tenderloin (grilled loins are also an option). While we waited for our masterpieces to be prepared we saw mammoth sandwiches, bowls of steaming chowder, and hearty Beef Manhattens served to other patrons. The aroma of comfort foods filled the air piquing our appetites. And then our orders arrived. We could not believe what we were seeing. Those tenderloins were at least 8 inches long, 4 inches wide and 1/2 inch thick! Buried beneath all that porcine gold was a huge amount of housemade chips and toppings of fresh vegetables. This was not just any ordinary tenderloin. The meat was oh-so-tender with a light, crisp, buttery breading that was seasoned to enhance its host. Now, to tackle a sandwich of this magnitude one must get creative. I cut approximately 3-4 inches off of one end to make it almost bun-sized while Scott folded the meat over double. No matter the diner's method this loin has earned it's place among the top tenderloin contenders in this great state of Indiana! We give it 5 stars and 2 thumbs up. BTW, the waitstaff is top notch and spot on. We were definitely welcomed guests. FYI: Full bar service is available as is a family-friendly dining room. The bowling alley is easily accessible for patrons wanting to bowl off a few calories after lunch or dinner. read more

The last time we went in there we had to sit in the bowling alley area. We sat there for over 30 minutes before we were even acknowledged. Then when they brought our dinner they didn't have one. She had read the order back to us but didn't complete the order before she took it back. I do not recommend them at all read more
