We love Chubby Skewers. & when I mean we, I really meant my daughter. Eating on a stick is just that more fun and enjoyable I guess. First time we had carryout and it was major HIT for everyone because 1. we didnt have to worry about cooking 2. it was already grilled to perfection The second time we dined in and didn't have the same great experience because our grill was uneven so it made the food cook unevenly where one side was more burnt and it's rough cooking with a toddler. All in all we really love this place and have gotten to do again even after a not so fun experience dining in. You can check in if you're nearby so def expect a wait for this joint. read more

I've been dying to try Chubby Skewers since they opened, but traffic to Chinatown is usually brutal--so I decided to save it for my birthday dinner! We went on a Tuesday right at 5:30 PM and walked right in, which was perfect because the crowd started picking up around 6. The whole setup is so fun! You grill the skewers right at your table, and at $1.30 each, you can try everything. Do not skip the pork belly, tenderloin, wagyu, or peppered wagyu--they were absolute standouts! Huge shoutout to our server, Eli, who made my birthday extra special. He was super attentive, kept our table tidy, and even played a fun guessing game with us at the end for how many skewers we ate. We actually beat him, so he hooked us up with 5 free skewers! Such a unique, fun experience. I'll definitely be back! read more

Lots of fun. Table of 6ish included a 4 yr old and a 4 month old Service was mostly self serv and the food was good not great Not a regular stop but we ate well and had a good time read more

I really enjoyed the $1.50 skewers. It's nice because at other chubby establishments, you feel the need to over-eat. This allows you to eat as much as you need. There is a charcoal fee, and a seasoning fee per person which could potentially throw others off. Our server was very kind, he explained everything very well and was quick. The tables are very short and your knees hit the table constantly. It's the perfect late- night place to go for some protein read more

Upon entering there are low sitting, Asian street food style table layouts and $1.3 skewers are all self serve. Table service is mainly for ordering drinks since there is a QR code for menu items. Our server Nathan was very pleasant and attentive!! I would say that we ate enjoyably within a $30-40/p budget. My main critiques for chubby skewers would be the long wait times, inconvenient table heights for taller guests, and doubling up skewers on some meats/seafoods without reflecting the portion size. read more

Came here on a Sunday evening. Join the waitlisting and it stated about an hour to an hour and a half. Sadly it was much longer than that. There is a yelp waitlist that you join. The restaurant itself is designed to be very packed and street-like. The table is low and the sitting is also low to the ground. Also note if you have a large party more than 4, try to get there early as this restaurant is not designed to support only 4 people. Also I am starting to notice a trend at most Chubby locations, small tables, small grill or not enough of it, and packing people in like cattle. It seems like they are trying to get you out of there as fast as possible. Either way back to the restaurant. You get one grill no matter how big your party is, there is a table free and a seasoning fee which they don't tell you about so be prepared to account for that. All the skewers are in the back in the fridge, lucky they are labeled with what is in each fridge. I would still go for the beef and pork as the skewers for like the chicken skin and veggies aren't skewered correctly so it is hard to cook them as you can rotate them to cook on all sides - basically one side is heavy and it just keeps spinning unless one person wants to hold it in place. They have some seasoning at your table and there is a little bit more in the back near the skewers. You can also order additional items via QR code, which this team isn't too familiar with at the moment. When I scanned the QR code, there were items "ordered" already for my table which we didn't order and according to the waitress, it was not appearing on her side. After multiple closing and re-scanning of the QR code it finally started working correctly. Skewers are about $1.30 each unless you have a membership which then drops it down to $1.00 only after spending $50 dollars and it also covers your table fee and seasoning fee. Cooking the skewers can take a bit depending on your burner, hopefully it isn't hotter on one side than the other like mine. But you will probably need to move things around once you get used to it. Tip is to put a set of skewers on the top rack to get it somewhat pre-cooked and then bring it down to char the outside of it. This will speed up the cooking of your skewers. read more

Shoutout to Emily for an exceptional level of service during our meal. We waited about 45-50 minutes for our table for 4 and then dove right in. It's a fun experience and something to do occasionally. I think we would rather not cook most of our meal, but we would do it with friends again. The beef was great as was the pork. Most of the chicken and seafood was just okay. We ordered a few things from the kitchen and they were okay also. It's currently BYOB. The chairs are low, but they do have backs. The real estate on the table is pretty cramped, but they do clear space quickly. We may be back, but we probably won't rush. read more

This was such a fun experience!! Perfect spot to go with friends and grill together!! The skewers are honestly on the smaller end, and at $1.30 per skewer (with some items having two skewers inside it so $2.60), it does add up fast. The two of us ended up with 40 skewers. There's a few large fridges with a huge selection of skewers, and you just go up to grab them yourself! At the grill, bottom rack is for meats, top rack is for veggies. The Wagyu beef pieces were delicious, but stand outs were the New Orleans chicken, the Chinese broccoli, and the corn!! There's a 0.99 fee for spices and seasonings, but the spice blends were genuinely so so so addicting and it was not spicy at all. We also got the s'mores at the end and I loved how it was nontraditional! You get the marshmellows, then chocolate sauce, then graham cracker crumbs. This was delish! Our server Nathan was super nice and taught us all the basics! read more

Our server Joséline was very helpful and attentive. We got 50 total skewers for 3 people and was happily full. Fun experience and the ambience was great with lots of throwback kpop soundtracks. The food is really easy to cook with seasoning to add on top. We mostly just got skewers since we love the seasoning. But they do have a menu with prepared dishes/sides to add to a more balanced meal. My group just wanted to grill. We focused on the wagyu neck and lean. They also had chicken heart. There were some items listed on their menu cards on the table that didn't exist in their physical selection so there might be some variation between locations. read more

If you have the patience to wait up to 2 hours, you'll be rewarded with quite an awesome experience of picking your own skewer with different cuts of meat (wagyu, chicken, pork, shrimp, scallop and some veggies like zucchini, corn, pineapple etc. and then grilling them for as little as 2 minutes (depending on the meat). Service is very attentive without being intrusive nor repetitive. Shrimp has 2 sticks so the price is double, surprisingly more premium than the wagyu lol. It can get chaotic by the fridge but we managed. Prepare for heat or warm interior, can get a bit trying when there's a heatwave ;) read more

Huge variety of meats, seafoods, and veggies. We ordered A5 lean & fatty wagyu, A5 brisket, wagyu tongue, black pepper wagyu, A5 wagyu neck, beef rib fingers, Shrimp, Scallops, New Orleans-style chicken, Chicken cartilage, Pork belly, Lamb , etc. Everything looked fresh, or not expired, when we pulled it from the fridge. Rice was cooked perfectly, better than most restaurants, which is a big deal for me lol. We didn't order sides or drinks so can't speak to that. I like the simplified pricing of $1.30 per every skewer. Not a fan of how many tables are crammed into the space. I wouldn't go during peak weekend dinner hours. Service was good; Jocelyn was helpful and regularly checked on us. read more

The food at Chubby Skewers was pretty delicious! We got mainly the wagyu skewers since we felt like they were the most worth it. Each skewer is $1.30 ($1 if you have the membership). This allows you to try so many different items but also not break the bank. I will say the skewers do add up if you're trying to get full from just skewers! I'd recommend maybe ordering rice or other dishes. The service was great; we had Reen as our server, and she was explaining to us the concept and gave us tips/tricks. She made sure to check up on us every once in a while too. You are also responsible for going up to the fridge and grabbing as many skewers as you want, and you cook it at your table. The ambiance is great; I like the decor and style the restaurant brings to Chinatown. However, I don't like how low and u comfortable the seats are. As someone that's 6 foot, it's pretty hard to sit there comfortably. Also, I felt like the fridges tend to get a little crowed with people picking and choosing. It's definitely a place I'd recommend to try out though! read more

A fun self-service grilling concept, good for out of town people and definitely worth trying at least once! Every skewer is $1.30 (if you're not a member), and they have lots of meat, seafood, and veggie options and you can serve yourself whatever you want. Each chicken wing (which was v good fyi!) was 2 skewers, and there is a 99 cent per person spice/seasoning fee - you do have to self-season the meat which was my main downside. The dry spice seasoning is yummy on everything but I do wish things were pre-marinated because then everything tasted the same. The beef skewers were yummy, as were the garlic skewers, and the cauliflower skewers surprised me! The corn was actually kind of shallow (the kernels weren't substantial somehow). I wish they had shishito peppers. KBBQ (Chubby Cattle) is probably better quality for meats/flavors but this is still worth trying once. 3 girlies had 42 skewers fyi and were very full! read more

There is a waitlist kiosk when you enter in the second door, make sure you register. I did and you are sent a notification on your cell. I was #13 and you can walk around the mall area while your table is up. It was 10 min and I saw tables leaving and my status was not moving so I went in to ask. Hostess told me I am #11 but my phone showed #13. 5 minutes later to my surprise, from #11 to #1 in less than 5 min. I did not complain but took the seat. The table was fairly small in height and once I was seated, my knees could not fit under the table. You get a tray to walk to the frig and grab any protein skewers, I was not a member so I paid $.30 more per skewers. There are skewers that have more the 1 skewer, so you can be paying $3 for 1 protein. Drinks and other dishes can be ordered on a QR on every table. Water is free and it is self-serve which is located by the frig. I have to say it was fun to pick and grill on your own but for $80 bill, I was still hungry. They do have parking validation and accepts Apple Pay. read more

Chubby Skewers - Waygu $1.30 each - Barbeque Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

My wife, kid, and friend came here to cap off a long day off in the city. We wanted to come earlier in the day, but because of traffic, we showed up around 7:30 and had to wait about an hour and a half for our table to come up. The staff is exceptional, way beyond what you'd expect from Chinatown. As we waited, they were cool with letting me take my kid to the washroom. When we came in we were given a small tour before we were seated, and our server (the only white employee in Chinatown?) was super helpful and answered all of our questions, and even gave us tips on how to best cook our food. That's right, it's a cook your own food kind of place. The gimmick is relatively simple, there's a bunch of fridges in the back with food pre-skewered. Each skewer is $1.30, though some food items have two skewers in them. There is a grill at your table with two levels, one close to the heat for cooking and one further to keep things warm. There's also a menu you can scan to order other things like soup or rice. Note that service sucks for AT&T customers, but our server punched in the wifi code for us. This place is a great combination of a fun experience with really good food. The place is bustling and it's a fun activity passing around skewers and making sure nothing overcooks. Loved the A5 steak, the lamb, the enoki wrapped in pork belly, shrimp (which was surprisingly spicy). As long as you're here with a meat lover, they'll have a good time. Heck, our kid even ate squid, and he spits out everything from strawberries to meatloaf. A few tips to keep in mind: - The wait is still super long. When you get to Chinatown , come here ASAP and put your name in, then have a plan of how to kill time for at least an hour. I dropped off my wife as I looked for parking and it was still a big wait. They do have a Yelp waitlist but they don't turn it on right at open so don't rely on it - They have ads for a club you can join, but you need to eat like 90 skewers to make it worth it. If you really like it and come back a lot, maybe it's worth it? - Speaking of seasoning...yeah, it's $1 per person, and it's not like you're going to eat your food without salt or some kind of seasoning. Consider it a cover charge I really enjoyed it here, and would love to come back...just need to make sure I have enough time left in the day before we do. But that just speaks to how popular it is! read more

Overall, this was a pretty underwhelming experience. I've been to other Chubby Group restaurants, and this was definitely my least favorite. The ambiance was nice, and the concept of grilling your own skewers is fun, but we've had much better skewer spots in SoCal. The biggest issue was the food quality. The meat felt scrappy, the skewers were really small, and the Wagyu didn't taste like Wagyu at all. I would honestly rather they charge more for better, more substantial skewers because these felt like they were just made up of random bits and leftovers. The variety was okay, but once you get back to the table it is hard to tell what you picked since everything starts to look the same. There were also some design flaws. The metal skewers are meant to be eaten off of, but they get extremely hot, so you either have to wait or slide the meat off before eating. That led to another issue because the meat kept getting stuck on the skewers. On top of that, they only gave us wooden chopsticks and a plastic fork, which kept bending when we tried to get the meat off. Service was not great either. The hostess walked us through the self service setup and said our waiter would be right with us, but no one ever came. In terms of pricing, I think it is only really worth it if you are already a member since skewers are $1, though even then they are quite small. Non member pricing is $1.30 per skewer. It is probably the most affordable Chubby Group restaurant I have been to, but the value still did not feel worth it given the portion size and quality. Overall, it is a cool idea with a nice atmosphere, but the execution really missed the mark. read more

Grilling your own meat skewers finally made its way to Chicago! The vibe is so much! So the way it works is that you go up to the cooler, take a tray and grab the skewers that you like and you grill it at your table. Each skew is about $1.30, which includes Wagyu beef, abalone, shrimp etc, If you sign up for their yearly membership, you can get the skewers at a discount for $1 and 30 free skewers for your birthday! They also have other side dishes such as beef noodle soup and tofu. Right now it's BYOB. It's so much fun! Highly recommend it! read more

Came back 2 days later because food was so good!! Showed up at 10:30pm on a Wednesday and there's a handful of empty seats left but still busy. The small table seating is definitely way more comfortable for 2 people. The cucumber salad is top tier!! I will be ordering this every time I come LOL. Beef finger and beef ball were the highlights of today's meal. Ended with the fried taro balls and it was delicious. Service today was better than the other day. Our server Jocelyn was super tentative to us and checked in with us every now and then. She also walked us through the bill when it came time to checkout. Will definitely be back regularly for a late night meal! read more

The Chinese bbq skewer experience here is pretty good for 4 or less people. Anymore than that, you'll be waiting for your food to be cooked and may leave hungry as the grill area is small. Everything is well organized and easy to understand. The protein and veggie meat options are quite vast. The cold noodles were pretty chewy and refreshing. They also validate parking. We had a Chubby member dining with us so, the discount was pretty neat, approx 30% off the skewers and waived per person spice charge. It's pretty hot around the grill, so wear removable layers and preferably a top you don't mind getting oil splatters on. read more

The food is great. The quality of the meats is really good. The staff give you a little intro to the place before you sit if you've never been there before. Good selection of meats and veggies. There's 2 levels to the heat, one is fast and can char the food, the upper level keeps stuff warm. Staff is really nice. Always smiling, very polite. So the only issue. I was a bit uncomfortable the entire time. I have back issues. The table sits low and so do the chairs. You are basically squatting hunched over your table. When you sit in these short chairs you can't fully put your legs under the table. When the chairs are empty you can't even slide 2 chairs back under the table! There's not enough room. Maybe it was just our table? Regardless it's a bit uncomfortable for me. I have to pass the food over my lap as I eat it, and got a decent amount of dripping meat juice on my pants. Food is excellent, staff is excellent, seating needs work. read more

Chubby Skewers - The quality of the meat has declined and it has a very dull color. It's terrible and completely different from before. - Barbeque Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Such a fun concept. Go early and get on the waitlist. Then walk around the square while you wait for a table. Skewer portions are fair. Tables are lower than normal, maybe knee height so may be uncomfortable for taller people. One less star for uneven fire on the stove. A Chubby Club membership gives you free seasoning and discounted skewers. The membership has paid for itself in just a few visits. read more

It's such an interesting experience, the table is very low, your legs has no place to go, the fired heated up the whole place like a sauna, I sweated from head to toes. There are plenty of choices for you to choose. All kinds of meats, seafood and veggies. You pick what you want and bbq over the fire. More or less like Korean bbq but those meats are cut into small pieces and put on skewer sticks. If you want to try, you have to go earlier, coz we waited more than an hour to get the table!. read more

A fun new experience cooking food over a grill. Great service and delicious food. Emily our server did a great job and all the food was fresh and fun to cook. Only complaint is the tiny grill for 5 people read more

As a big Chubby Cattle fan, I had a pretty good idea of what to expect going in. Right away, the customer service stood out. We were welcomed quickly by Reen, who was incredibly kind and checked in on us throughout the night - give her a raise! Nathan took care of us at the table and was just as great. He was attentive, easy to talk to, and explained everything in a way that made the whole experience feel simple and smooth. Overall, the experience was awesome and felt like great value with all the different meats and options available. Cooking everything was straightforward, and the atmosphere had a really modern, colorful vibe that added to it. The meats were solid, just like I expected, and there was a ton of variety. One standout for me was the cucumber salad on the side, definitely worth getting. If I had to nitpick anything, it would be the table height. It sits a bit low, and as someone taller, I had to adjust a little to get comfortable. Not a big deal at all, just something I noticed. If you're into Chubby Cattle, skewers, or just checking out Chinatown spots, this is definitely worth a visit. read more

I came here on Saturday, April 4th with a couple friends to try this place out because they wanted to see what's the hype. I went to Chubby Skewers in NYC with some other friends back in Dec 2025 so I thought I knew what to expect until it became a huge disaster. I arrived at the restaurant with my 2 friends to join the Yelp waitlist at 7:30PM as you can see in the screenshot and remember being #69 in line. It says estimated seating time is between 8:49-9:19pm. We went to grab something to munch on and walked around Chinatown square. We came back to Chubby Skewers around 8:45PM. I waited until slightly after 9pm then decided to ask the lady how much longer do we have to wait because I was still only #37 in line after waiting 1.5hrs and there were 5 empty tables! I showed her my phone that I've been waiting since 7:30PM and she responded with "oh you have been waiting for a while" so I'm like uh yeah yet you rather have empty tables sitting around than seat actual people who are physically standing at the door waiting in line. She said that per the policy, they have to give each customer 10mins of wait time before giving up the table, so I'm like okay, if I'm #37 that means I'll have to wait 370mins before I can get seated? She said she's been calling customers but they're not picking up but still have to wait 10mins lol.... What a joke... She also said some customers dine for 2 to 2.5hrs which is completely irrelevant to my question of how much longer I have to wait when there were 5 empty tables. I turned around and one of the guys said they waited 3hrs for a table of 3.... I'm like that's actually ridiculous! I just left without eating because this place is not worth 3hrs at all! I could've flown to NYC and had Chubby Skewers in the 3hrs they've been waiting in line. I didn't even have a mind blown experience in NYC cause I just thought it was meh. If it wasn't for my friends, I wouldn't even come here to get scammed for $1.30 per skewer with a few pieces of thin meat. First of all, the skewers are $1.30 unless you are member aka you need to get their membership which I think is $59 then the skewers will be $1. This is a mistake people are making as social media keeps marketing it's $1 when realistically it is $1.30. My own friends wanted to come here cause they heard it's $1 but I told them it's not unless we have a membership and they looked at me super confused. Second of all, they have a sign at the entrance saying membership works across the country in small fine print at the bottom right corner, so I asked if I have a membership from out of state, would it work and they said no. I'm like but the sign out there states that it works across the country and the lady responded with if you check the app you can see which location the membership works for so FYI. At the end, my table was ready at 10:15PM per the screenshot which means I would've had to wait almost 3hrs. Usually the wait time on Yelp is pretty accurate from my personal experiences but this place is a different level. As you can see in the screenshot that the wait time is now 5min wait so I guess it's an improvement but they lost me as a customer forever. read more

Food was alright.

I personally prefer restaurants to be cooler and this place is just too hot for me. 5 skewers in and I already wanted to get out of there. Will not return... read more

Chubby Skewers - Barbeque Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Came on a Sunday with a party of 6. Waitlist said the wait was 75min+ but we ended up getting a table after about 45ish minutes which was nice. We were surprised with how compact and close to the floor all the tables and chairs were. So it felt a little uncomfortable trying to fold your legs to fit under the table or have your knees sticking up higher than the table itself. Some of our party had to take turns standing up and walking around cause their legs started cramping from the tight space. They give you a little mini tour before being seated which was greatly appreciated to help understand how the gist of everything was. There's also a seasoning fee already added to your tab once you scan the QR code for the menu. All the meats and veggies were great! My only note was that the grill is really small - about the length of my forearm. So it took a while for the food to cook so be prepared that you might be there for a while. We wanted to eat more, but to wait longer for a small amount of food to cook in the tiny grill was ultimately why we decided to stop. The concept of the restaurant is great though I wish they'd make the seats a bit more comfortable and the grill bigger so customers have more space for more food and turnover would be faster. Shoutout to Nathan for being a great server! read more

For sure a great time with friends, perfect atmosphere, and the flavor of every skewer is amazing even without the seasoning but you can always season to your liking. Best of all the staff is really earnest and super attentive and helpful. Definitely recommend. read more

We visited Chubby Skewers on Saturday, 4/4/26, and although the wait was incredibly long, the overall experience more than made up for it. The food, ambiance, and especially the customer service were all top notch. Our hostess, Emily, took great care of our group from the moment we arrived. Despite how busy and chaotic the lines were, she remained positive, friendly, and attentive. She kept us well informed throughout the wait and made sure everything went smoothly once our table was ready. Our server, Jocelyn, was equally impressive. She checked in on us regularly, made sure we had everything we needed, and did an excellent job explaining the ordering process--especially helpful since my friends Ben and Miles were first-timers. The kitchen was also incredibly efficient. We ordered the Wagyu Fried Rice, Cold Noodles, and Takoyaki, and everything came out quickly and tasted fantastic. The skewers were the highlight--flavorful, generously portioned, and even better with their signature seasoning. The selection was extensive, and even near closing time, there were still plenty of options available. I've been to the Manhattan location, and honestly, this new Chicago spot exceeded expectations in every way. Our entire group was impressed. If you're looking for great food, a fun and interactive dining experience, and something unique in Chicago's Chinatown, Chubby Skewers is absolutely worth a visit. Final shoutout again to Emily and Jocelyn for making it such a memorable and enjoyable night! read more

The food tasted amazing, the servers were great and explained everything to us. My only reason for the 1 star deduction is the size of the tables. We were in a group of 6. The tables are traditional Chinese style height which doesn't accommodate taller people. We didn't know this and the men in our party felt very cramped and their knees kept bumping the table tops. I know this is part of the experience, it was just uncomfortable for them. read more

The most chewy "wagyu" I've ever had. The drinks were served at room temperature, and they actually charge you extra just for seasoning. The best dish of the night was actually the cold noodles, not the skewers, but that wasn't enough to save the meal. The selection of meat, seafood, and veggies is very limited. The setup is very uncomfortable with low seating, and the whole place is way too crowded. The floors were wet, and they use plastic utensils which feels really cheap for the price. The only positive was the service, as the staff was nice. However, between the bad food and the uncomfortable environment, this is a one and done experience for me. read more

I saw a lot of hype for this place but honestly was slightly disappointed. The concept is great, but flavors are not. Their stove heats skewers unevenly so the sides got burnt before the middle is cooked through. Seasoning is kinda bland on everything we ordered. Service and staff are wonderful though. Lots of families so ambiance is good. Would recommend for the experience, but not if you want actual good bbq. read more

Service is a bit slow. Food is pretty good. About 20 skewers per person will be filling. It's hectic to get your food at times due to the restaurant setup and ambience being so congested. Some servers are overly flirty which can be annoying at times. read more

Chinatown is packed on a Saturday and we decided to go right when they opened but there was already a line. Once we checked-in, we walked around to kill some time which was great since they texted us when our table was ready and we dan monitor our spot on queue.

I'm so glad we have a local location and my family had a great time picking out the skewers. It does get warm so bring a hair tie if you have long hair. We will definitely be back!!! read more
