Bottom Line: 100% recommend for scarce occasions. How it works: This is all you can eat. You have 90 minutes to eat from the time you place your first order, your last order must be placed no later than 70 minutes. They offer a membership: $20 annual fee which gives you a discount for you and one guest for each visit, and $59.99 off your dinner the day before, of, or after your birthday. I have to give the same tip that I give for all AYCE restaurants: MINIMIZE CARB CONSUMPTION. Rice is very cheap, but filling. You are paying a high price for quality meat, take advantage of the expensive options. I'll nibble on a couple grains of rice with each bite of meat so I don't fill up too quick. They have 3 menu tiers: Silver (Cheapest): $55.99/$45.99 for members/1 guest per member - No specialty options -- Disclaimer: This tier has wagyu options, but not A5 wagyu options Gold (Mid tier) Recommended if you have been here before: $78/$65 for members/1 guest per member - Includes all Silver Tier options - Offers A5 Wagyu options. - Each guest can choose one specialty dish out of 5 different options. - Each guest can choose one specialty meat (different from specialty dish) out of 6 different options. Diamond (Highest tier) Recommended if you have never been here before: $88/$75 for members/1 guest per member - Pretty much the same as Gold except each guest gets two specialty dishes each. Environment: Low/mid light ambience. Not too loud if you get one of the private rooms, you can easily converse with your table. This location is HUGE compared to the same restaurant in Duluth. It has its own bar and an entire room dedicated to self-serve options. Food: Not much to say about this other than it is fantastic. You're eating some of the highest grade beef you can get: Wagyu. My friends and I got the Diamond tier for my birthday. My absolute favorite specialty dishes are the Wagyu Foie Gras Nigiri and Wagyu Uni Caviar Nigiri Raw. The dressing that they use perfectly complements the natural flavor of the beef and the toppings. While the specialty nigiri and hand rolls are a single serving, the other specialty meats/dishes can be shared if you have a decent size party (4 or more). The other AYCE options are included with all tiers. This includes sushi, seafood, dim sum(not available the last time I went to the Duluth location), rice dishes, and various soups. - My favorite of which are the salmon carpaccio(maybe nigiri at the end of the meal because of the rice), A5 Wagyu tartare, and Creamy Spicy Tom Yum Soup. Service: The service was fantastic. Our server, Gary, was very transparent about how to get the best value out of our money. The overall staff went above and beyond what we usually expect. We ordered a pitcher of beer and they poured all of us glasses and made sure each of the six of us had a full glass. Gary was very helpful whenever we had questions/confusion about the menu or our orders. He really made it feel like he was there for his customers rather than just for a paycheck. Bottom line: This location was a much better experience than the Duluth location. It's bigger, has more options at the self serve room, includes a full bar for you to sit at while you're waiting for your party to arrive. The service was great. The only two complaints that I had were about how long it would take some orders to come out (This I can understand more because of how busy I can imagine the staff is), and the meat sticking to the grill. They didn't have any oil to spray on the grill because the wagyu fat is supposed to take care of it, but it did cause issues cooking the thinner meats, especially the mushroom/pineapple wrapped brisket and the plain wagyu brisket itself. All that being said, I would highly recommend this restaurant AND the $20 annual membership. I visit this restaurant maybe 3-4 times a year. It's expensive, but a good spot for rare special occasions and your birthday. One last shoutout to Gary for being a fantastic server read more

Little confusing how everything works at first but worth the learning curve. Great new dishes to step out your comfort zone. Selection of meats are not bad either. read more

Exceptional service and food. I actually like this concept better than the Duluth Chubby Cattle BBQ location. You grab your own food vs ordering every 10min on an iPad. This way you eat at your own pace. 70min to get all your food, and 90min limit to dine-in. Our server was super awesome, and let us stay over bc we were still eating. Ricky is the man! He's in air traffic control school, so go support him! We got everything we asked for (even butter for the crab legs). Can't remember the last time I got such good service. For the food, focus on the sushi, crab legs, and waygu to get the most bang for the buck! Only other request I have are plastic cups vs paper cups (cups ppl can take home-free advertisement). Great addition to the mall area! read more

Can only rate the service because it was so bad we got up and left before ordering. Very bad attitude from the bartender while we waited for our table to the waiter who had an attitude once we didn't want to upgrade to the higher option. read more

New location at Perimeter Mall! It's different from previous stores, it has a large buffet line and prices are fixed, there's no tier, $69.99 for weekend and $59.99 for weekdays. The wagyu is very high quality, and I also love the sushi, seafood, and dessert. Our server, John, is very nice and welcoming. read more

Our first time at chubby cattle and we did a team dinner here! John was our server and he went above and beyond. We were lucky to walk in on a weeknight and no wait at all for 6 of us. Food was great, plenty of options and food came out fast. John offered to help us bbq the meats and it definitely made the experience much better! The place is quite large. Plenty of parking being at the perimeter mall. read more

It is cool, trendy spot with great food quality and amazing decor if you love manga. But because of the crazy crowds and slow service, it ends up being a pretty exhausting and overpriced dining experience. read more

Great experience at Chubby Cattle BBQ. The food quality was solid and everything came out quickly, but our server Trang really made the difference. She was attentive, friendly, and kept everything running smoothly without hovering. Our grill and drinks were always taken care of, and service felt effortless. You can tell she genuinely cares about her tables. Will definitely be back -- especially if Trang is our server again. read more

First time at the bbq version (usually go to the hotpot one). It was delicious and had lots of options even on the lowest tier. However, I will say it's not a convenient floor plan. We got seated upstairs and had to walk downstairs and to the far left of the restaurant to get access to all of the sides and non-ipad items. Makes it harder to enjoy your meal when you have to journey downstairs repeatedly. Especially when the floors are slippery from the grease the grills release. I'd go back but definitely would ask to sit on the main floor. read more

The food was great, top tier to be exact. The open selection of the self serve bar was vast and everything was very tasty. The service was great and our waiter was very attentive. He provided a pleasant service and it felt personal, like talking to a normal person. 10/10 The restaurants style I enjoyed it seemed pretty traditional. Not too loud and not too flashy. The booths had PLENTY of space unlike other bbq spots. T The price was definitely worth it. $58/per person and I get to eat all I want of Wagyu and side dishes? Sign me up! read more

Second time coming in tonight and I am thrilled that Chubby Cattle in Atlanta lives up to the experience of the restaurant experience I had and loved in Little Tokyo in LA, but here at home. Our server was Ricky and he did a great job. The only way Chubby Cattle could be better is if they had hot pot/nabe. Fingers crossed! Don't forget to sample the additional sources beyond the ones on the table! Not to be a hater, but the vibes at Wagyu House are all wrong, and Chubby Cattle is AYCE done correctly. It's cute, casual, chill, stuff-your-face fun, and while the views at Wagyu are great, the high pressure upsell and "wait for 30 min despite having a reservation" just ain't it. (If you aren't aware, they are sister brands, same franchise group.) read more

everything was perfect! food, ambiance and service are spot on. only thing was the draft beers were down but we will be back next time!

My husband and I went for our anniversary and it was amazing! Food was fresh, staff were super sweet and got sat a lot faster than the estimated time. Our server Anthony was attentive and so nice to explain everything to us since it was our first time. It was perfect for a date, not too loud and very interactive since you have to cook your own food. Thankfully they have a tablet to put in orders on and a self serve station downstairs with drinks, meat, sauce, rice, and so much more! The meat was thin, but so good! Will be back. read more

Trang was great!! Delicious sides and meats, tad expensive and some of the raw was not as high quality but overall great experience and ambiance! read more

Service was great! The food was fine. It's an expensive meal for some ok prepared foods and very small portions of beef. Glad we tried it, but likely won't return. read more

This location should be embarrassed to operate under the Chubby Cattle name. My friend and I arrived just to be told we could not be seated because their "last seating is 9:30." When I pointed out that it was not yet 9:30, the host admitted they had already started cleaning, had no servers left, and therefore would not seat anyone despite still being within their stated last seating window. Let me get this straight: * You close at 10:30 PM * Your last seating is 9:30 PM * We arrived before 9:30 PM But you refused service anyway because you decided to clean early? The explanation kept changing: "The kitchen closes at 10," "We're already cleaning," "I'm just following policy." None of it made sense, and no one could explain why a restaurant with posted hours simply ignores them. Watching someone argue with a customer while I'm literally staring at my bare wrist to confirm the time was surreal. And unfortunately, this isn't a one-off disappointment. The last time we dined here, the food quality was already slipping badly: * Meats sitting out looking brown and old * The back food line was messy and chaotic, with empty counters and stacked plates that looked more like storage than a buffet line * Items missing with no explanation * Staples like crab legs quietly removed after the "soft opening" phase, despite being part of what originally justified the price This place feels like it's coasting on the Chubby Cattle name while cutting corners everywhere, staffing, food quality, cleanliness, and honesty about operating hours. If you don't want to seat people after 9:15, change your hours. Don't gaslight customers who arrive on time and act like they're the problem. There are far better korean BBQ options in the city that actually respect their guests. This location does not, especially for more than $75 a person. Go to Wagyu House if you must. Edit: David, I see your replies to the other reviews, please just actually make a change to improve this location instead of putting a band aid reply on this review to seem like you're addressing these problems read more

Only had to wait about 5 minutes on a Friday. The food is so so yummm! I love that you're able to do a full buffet experience by going and grabbing things you like. My only issue is for sushi, they have no tuna really, only tuna slices and to be honest, it did not taste very fresh. Other than that really cool vibe and lots of choices! read more

Super cool experience, and Gary is great! Nice cuts of meat, including A5 and Australian Wagyu. read more

Not as good as the the Duluth location. We went tonight for the first time to try the seafood and there were no crab legs. It was one of the reasons we came to this location. We were told there was a supply issue. I wish this had been posted online. Also, some of the sushi and meats had sat out a good bit and become dried out. Some of the salmon sushi and tamago sushi were no longer moist. I was disappointed when I checked my app receipt after leaving. I was charged non-member price when I showed the waitress our membership when we sat down. Customer service was great though. Hostess was super nice and plates were taken away fast. read more

Was very excited to try the new Chubby Cattle location today as a party of 2 but was unfortunately told that we wouldn't be able to be seated as the waitlist was too long. When inquiring about placing a reservation while we were talking to the hostess, we were informed that they would not be able to make a reservation for a party of 2 and our best bet was to try to show up right when they first open at 5pm to ensure we could get a table. Seems like a weird business practice to tell customers that their "best bet" is to try to just queue early when most corporate jobs end around 5pm. This is still their soft opening phase, so I hope they are able to update their booking system soon to take reservations for smaller parties so people aren't forced to leave work early just to be able to have a chance to get a table for a party of 2. read more

It was overall a great experience. There are 3 tiers, we both got gold... this allows you to try the higher quality meats. Paid around $70 each for lunch. Tons of options, cool rice machine. Meats are great, service is great. What I didn't love: Ordered truffle fries and they were regular fries, which I didn't want. We got there right at 12 for lunch and they just weren't ready yet. They were moving things around (equipment) in the buffet line... like entire cabinets. Which was disorganized and probably unsafe. Rugs were disheveled. They did it after I was spread in line, so was stuck for about 10 min. read more

We had the BEST experience at Chubby Cattle Dunwoody! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was fun, welcoming, and lively. The food was absolutely delicious. Everything fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. What made our night extra special was our server, Anthony. He was attentive without being overbearing, answered all of our questions with patience and detail, and gave great recommendations that made our meal even better. He checked on us at just the right times and made sure we had everything we needed. His friendly personality and genuine care for our dining experience really stood out. If you're looking for amazing food and top notch service, Chubby Cattle Dunwoody is a must and if you're lucky enough to have Anthony as your server, you're guaranteed a fantastic time! read more

The food is serious. No doubt, come hungry. The service is great in some areas but dumb in others. They will come up and help cook your meat (even if you dont want them to) but they wont refill your drink. Also - they spend all this money on the presentation of each element but give you paper cups to drink out of. Then you pay extra for the special meat or dinner - but you only get 1 item from that menu, 1 time and honestly I couldnt tell you what it was when it was brought out. Now, the meal was incredible. Every piece of meat, sushi, whatever we had - was amazing. Great flavors, tender, etc. but I honestly dont see the value in paying for the gold tier or whatever tier when it only gives you 1 meat, 1 time. Id go back but I wouldnt spend the extra money. read more

Our server Trang was wonderful! She checked in on us often and jumped in to assist when she saw we were struggling. The service is great. There are a lot of options but the meat quality isn't as good as Chubby Shabu in Duluth. read more

Great experience at another Chubby Cattle. Drew was helping us pick steak to eat and he did an excellent job. My Daughter is a chubby Cattle fan and she wanted to eat at the one on the mall property. A great place with family, Friends or an adventurous date. read more

Really good experience at Chubby Cattle. Ricky was great at explaining everything! Will definitely be back!

Good service, Philip was very accommodating and nice. Food was good, the meat arent that marinated. It is self service you have to go get your own meat. The price is a set price no tiers. They do offer other options like crab and Chinese food. read more

Drew was great! Awesome food and service. I recommend the gold menu. Lychee slushie was delicious and overall place was super chill.

Amazing service. Leah is really an incredible server. Coming back because of her service.. ​

This was my first time here with my friend and I love the way they walk you through the experience. The server was very nice, Phillip. Love the manga on display and the music playing. All theme for that anime lover in you and those anime's you see on shows. Would recommend, matter of fact it was my first time and I enroll for their membership for only about 22 dollars a YR!!! What a steal! And the food of course was amazing! read more

Chubby Cattle - Food - Barbeque Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Liked my server, the main short lady walking around is rude, she tried to shove a piece of food in my face, like she was rushing me probably one of the worst experiences I've had in a long time. Customer service is subpar would not recommend --also there was literally nothing at the bar. II could've had down the street for a third of the price with better quality including maid's order, sushi, and crab legs for under $40... This place had like four different sushi rolls out and I've definitely had better steak... With them being a sister location to Waygu House, huge disappointment. read more

Came here for dinner and thoroughly enjoyed it. Jet made the experience even better than normal. This place is different from some of their other locations in the sense of it being AYCE buffet style choices for most of their options. There is a few specialty items that they will bring to your table but a bulk of their options is out in the buffet. The quality of meat from their other locations (like Duluth) is slightly better but this place is still so good compared with to a traditional bbq place. Jet was super attentive and patient with us. He chatted with us some and was very quick with changing our grill and bringing us drinks that we could've gotten ourselves. That made up for any slight differences in the Wagyu we got from here versus their other locations. Overall a great value for the quality and the fact of it being AYCE buffet style. They also had a few dim sum options, milk teas, sauce bar, sushi, dessert, and more. You really can't beat it. We most certainly be back. Thank you Jet for a friendly and enjoyable dinner experience. read more

Food was good but really how much can you eat? It's annoying that they constantly remind you of the time limit for the table. Meats good. Sushi very mundane as are the other offerings. Not sure I'll be back. read more

My brother and I have a monthly sibling date and we originally were going to the Wagyu and Wine event at a neighboring restaurant. But were told they were out of Wagyu. I then remembered Chubby Cattle BBQ had opened. We came over and immediately were happy with our decision! From the hostess, to the bartender, an our waiter Gary- it was truly an experience! I make content and am excited to share with my viewers this amazing restaurant! I definitely will be back! read more

Pretty bad service. This has been common among Chubby Cattle restaurants for me. Very unempathetic service. For the bar-only option, the bartenders won't let you order food until you put in drink orders. It's an unwritten requirement, and not even guaranteed that you will be able to order food. read more

I took my family of 4 to lunch at this highly recommended resterant after church on Easter. The sign outside says it is $50.00 per person, so I expected a bill of #200.00 plus tip ( around $250.00 ) The server presented a bill for $348.00. I paid it vecause my family and some friends were all watching and I did not want to srgue in front of everyone. Bur, when I saw the charge on my Amex they had changed the amount to $412.00. For a restaurant where you get a fast food type paper cup to get your own dring, and you have to get your own food at the buffet, that is absurd. Also the food was sub par for this type resterant. The place is a total rip off. read more

Amazing food! Amazing fun! Amazing night!! Next-level service from Kailani who walked us through the steps and made us feel at home!

Drew is an awesome and attentive server who really helped us out! Food is great and personal attentive service is on point.
