You can never go wrong dining at Chubby Cattle! The all-you-can-eat experience is amazing, with an impressive selection of premium meats--especially the Wagyu beef, which is incredibly tender, rich, and flavorful. Every bite feels indulgent, and it's definitely a must-try for any meat lover. Highly recommended! Service is excellent and the place is good as well. The only downside is the long wait but is all worth it. read more

Recently dined here and overall had a great experience. The meat quality was excellent, and you can really tell they take pride in their selection. Definitely worth trying if youre into high quality cuts. The wait was a bit long for me (20mins) however, our server Jamie truly made it worthwhile. She was very patient, resourceful, and funny too! :) Didnt have to call her for anything because she knew what we needed every time. She have us great recs on which meats to order in particular orders depending on how full we were getting too. Her service really elevated our experience and made the wait feel worth it. They also have a neat selection of drinks to pair w your meal as well :) Will be making a return visit! read more

Great quality and service. Cid and Natalie made sure we were taken care of! Would recommend!

Jamie was amazing!!! Very efficient. Gave us everything we asked for! She's a valuable employee

On Friday before vday, we had a reservation at 1pm & were a couple minutes late due to trying to find it walking through the mall but luckily we only waited 5 mins while they prepped our table. The mall is very nice & big but we realized it was on the side of the mall next to shaded parking lot while leaving. Immediately we were greeted with a warm welcome from the host & told there's free milk tea at the front which was very sweet but yummy to start. Our server made us feel very comfortable & explained the whole menu throughly helped us order our 1st round as it was our first times! We got the gold tier that includes the sushi & it's so worth it despite our hefty bill being almost $200 for 2 people but it's high quality japanese bbq with access to unlimited self serve stations of drinks, foods, desserts, slushies, veggies/fruits. All of our food especially the meats were so delicious! Some melt into your mouth like juicy butter so we kept ordering each one since it's ayce as well. Our server was very attentive & checked on us a lot which was nice. Restroom has cool red lighting too for pics. Definitely worth the hype to come back! :) read more

Extremely Disappointing First Visit Our group of six arrived at Chubby Cattle excited to try it for the very first time after hearing so many great things. Unfortunately, our experience was so poorly handled that we ended up walking out after nearly three hours of waiting--and that's why I'm leaving this one-star review. We arrived very early at 4:20PM, a full 40 minutes before opening, to secure our spot in line. We were 18th on the list, with at least 20+ parties behind us. The hostess who checked us in was friendly and reminded us to stay close because the line moves quickly once doors open at 5 PM. At 5 PM, the line did move fast, but our Yelp estimate said our table time would be between 5:57-6:17 PM, which already felt long considering how early we arrived. Still, we figured this was acceptable given we were all hungry, and excited to try the place out. Then things went downhill. About 10 minutes into waiting, we noticed a party of nine--who had been much further behind us--get seated ahead of our group of six. Confused, we asked the manager, Yuwa, why. First, she told us they had a "special" table for nine. When we pointed out that a table fitting nine could obviously fit six, the explanation shifted to, "We have a special table for parties of six." (Internally we thought this better be an incredible table for 6). This might have been a comforting response, but she showed absolutely zero empathy, and her tone felt dismissive and indifferent to our situation. Frustrated, we kept waiting. Over the next hour, we watched multiple groups--sizes 2, 4, 5, 7, and even another 9--get seated ahead of us. Every single party that arrived before and after us had been seated. By that point, the waiting room was empty except for us, which felt incredibly isolating and frankly disrespectful. We understand seating logistics for larger parties, but the optics were terrible. After nearly three hours, we were finally taken to what was supposedly the "special" six-person table--only to find it was the smallest single-burner setup we had ever seen. To make things worse, the tables next to us (identical in size) were seating groups of 3 and 4. Why did we have to wait 3 hours for a "special" table of 6 that was being used to accommodate smaller parties? Why not offer these tables to us earlier? Why were those tables acceptable for smaller groups ahead of us but not for us earlier? And why did they think that after ALL THAT, that this was the best table for our party? We couldn't help but think that we were being trolled by Yuwa, the horrible manager. We spoke with another manager, Chaeho, who was at least more apologetic and understanding. But even he ultimately gave us the standard company line about how he couldn't move us without checking up front again. But at that point, after three hours of feeling ignored and strung along, we were done. We left frustrated, disappointed, and honestly relieved to no longer be dealing with it. We came in excited, hungry, and open-minded--and left feeling disrespected. This experience was enough to ensure we won't be returning, let alone would we ever consider purchasing a Chubby Cattle membership. read more

Chubby Cattle - 4:20pm, 40 minutes before opening, excitedly waiting in line to be seated. We were #18 on the list at this point. - Barbeque Near Me - Canoga Park, California

Food: The food quality is as great as the other Chubby Cattle locations that I have visited before. I was surprised to find new variants of meat and dishes not found in other locations. So far it matches up with the other locations perfectly. Service: It seems to be a running theme for waiters in this chain of restaurants to be interesting, cool, and attentive to my needs. Alyssa is the latest waitress that was excellent to me in the Chubby Cattle line like Joshua in the Little Tokyo restaurant. She was engaging and helpful so kudos to her. Ambiance: Once again the design and layout of the restaurant is combo of modern day and old era of Tokyo. I love that they have a self serving station with a water mist effect to it. The interior is very clean and sleek. Still love the choice of lighting as well. Overall consistent like the other locations. read more

First time with the family. Food and quality of meats were great! Sauces and selection of items were good as well. Also had a great server thanks Cid! Will be coming back again. read more

I love a great all you can eat place but it's even better when it's a full experience. Chubby cattle didn't disappoint at all. From the service when you arrive, the hostess were nice and inviting and never gave false wait times, to your sever. We had Arshia and he was very attentive, gave great advice and offered great conversation while we waiting for dishes to come out, we also had Andy who was equally as great with his help and patients. The staff in general, all a top notch experience. We waiting about 25 minuets but I'm told on a bad day you could wait as long as 2-4 hours. I purchased the membership because I ended up coming back the next day with more family. We got the Gold Tier and their A5 selections are amazing, you don't need any sauce and it doesn't give you the after eats heart burn. Their self served selection was a great experience and they had great choices. The vibes are nice and it's not too loud which all you can eat spots and tend to get. I recommend getting there early so you can enjoy the experience. The only disappointment was they ran out of steamed egg and yellowtail both times I went so hopefully I get a chance to try those. All in all a great experience and a must try. I'll definitely be back read more

Food was great. Very welcome service. Sid and others were very helpful and accommodating. Will definitely go back to try higher tiers.

We came to Chubby Cattle ready to grill... but Cid said, "I got this!" From start to finish, Cid was the real MVP of the table. Not only was he insanely attentive, he literally grilled our food for us. And not the "I'll flip it once and disappear" type -- I'm talking full-on grill master mode. Perfect timing. Perfect cuts. Zero burnt sacrifices to the BBQ gods. Our plates were never empty, the grill was always under control, and somehow he kept everything flowing smoothly while still checking in on us. Elite multitasking. ‍ He also helped us sign up for the membership without it feeling awkward or pushy. Just smooth, easy, done. We walked in hungry and left feeling like VIPs. If you're coming to Chubby Cattle, ask for Cid. He's rare... medium rare. 5 stars. Would absolutely get grilled again. read more

Just came here for my birthday. I'm so full right now, I'm just staring into space Alyssa was our server and her customer service was awesome. If I pass out near Target it's her fault read more

Cid was the best server! He cooked, he served, he instructed, and was very polite. Made us feel welcomed and attended to all our needs during my birthday celebration at Chubby. We will be back and we want to be seated at Cid's tables. Short rib wagyu is our go to in their selection. read more

Nice atmosphere! Food was delicious...but you're limited on the special meat...even with the diamond option (2 orders per person). Overall, the experience was great and our server Ferny provided great service...friendly, attentive, and kind! I'd give him 5 stars! read more

Jamie provided awesome and quick service. Food was amazing as usualy. Give Jamie a raise!!

Chubby Cattle BBQ in Topanga does not miss. Great atmosphere, amazing food, and service that genuinely makes you feel taken care of -- what more could you ask for? We did the Silver tier and were seriously impressed. It hits the sweet spot between value and variety -- you'll leave full and happy without needing to go all the way to the top tier. Shoutout to our server Nick, who was an absolute gem. Friendly, attentive, and accommodating throughout the whole meal. He made the experience. Perfect for a casual splurge with friends or a fun date night. 100% recommend -- and ask for Nick when you go! read more

Food was great as always. We got a big booth for 5 and had more room for all the food. Our server Jamie was on top of it helping cook anytime she passed by and checking in on us. Super kind. Super informative. 5/5 read more
