Super unique experience but we were very unsure how it all went. The hostess gave us a super quick and vague run down on how everything worked.. She directed us towards the refrigerators and then took us to our table. We then picked out the skewers we wanted and sat down. By this time, our charcoal had been dropped off and we scanned the QR code to see what else we could order. We ordered a side of white rice, potstickers, cucumber salad, and corn cheese. The cucumber salad was delicious and a must. It went will with the meats and helped with giving it flavor and for it to not be dry. The corn cheese was not good as it was very mushy. We ended up eating 39 skewers and our grand total for a party of 3 was about $90. The experience was fun and unique. Now that we know how it flows, we'll have a better experience next time.

Chubby Skewers is a fun place to go with your friends and out of towners! This is perfect place for chatting and hanging out. More of an interactive experience and cooking foods together. It's generally kid friendly as long as your kids don't like to reach and touch hot things. I generally enjoy getting the chicken parts and the beef that's less fatty. The brisket for me is a bit too fatty but that's not their fault. It's just the cut. The staff is always nice to us and very friendly. Pro tip is to ask for the skewer tool since it helps a lot with getting the meat off the skewer. If they see you struggling, sometimes they will bring to you. I think it's very important what time you go if you don't want to run into a crowd and a long wait. I don't recommend going on weekends around 6. Seems really busy and long wait since the place is generally cook your own food. Do the math but the membership can be worth it!

Service was horrible. They were busy and the servers were overwhelmed but I am confused on why because they don't take orders or anything all they do is bring out the grill thing. You even have to get your own water. The girl didn't explain anything to us on how we were supposed to do anything so we sat there like uhhhhh so what are we supposed to do!? We scanned the QR code and ordered rice and we had already grabbed meat not knowing why really to do but still no rice. They also charge you for the spices so my husband ended up just using them since we were getting charged for it anyway. And when we were ready to leave there was no server in sight. The meats were good and price was fair, but the lack of service left a bad taste in our mouth.

Our first time here and it didn't disappoint! We came on a Saturday right at opening and there were already 4 groups AHEAD of us, with none of them as first timers. That was a good sign. We were seated quickly and got the introduction of how everything works. Pleasantly surprised with the many vegetables and vegetarian options while we all loved our meats. Added an order of deep fried/golden buns, and white rice; my 10-year old loved the buns (hence 1 missing from the photo). Overall a great experience and we will be back to try more!

Had a great time at chubby skewers recently. It's not AYCE but you're charged per skewer (no more than $2) In other reviews I found it concerning that there isn't sauce for the skewers but to be honest the seasoning and the way you grill the skewers is pretty good as is. They have a menu where you can order other dishes and drinks as well. The only downside of my recent visit was that they ran out of rice. Other than that it was still a great time.

This place was so fun! Flew in late and saw that this place was open so my friends and I decided to try it. You get a big variety of meats and seafood to choose from. The servers were very informative, being this was our first time at a skewer place. The restaurant looked very similar like other bbq places. The only down part is that it's ala carte and not AYCE. The price racked up fast depending on what you ate and the portion of each skewers wasn't that big. The food itself was good, you cook it yourself on charcoal and it's more for the experience. Over all fun but can get pricey.

Really making this Chubby Club membership worth it and trying things when out of state. Happened to be in the Mesa area and decided to try Chubby Skewers. A little crazy with reservations since it was Valentine's day, but they are open until 2AM. They have a menu for cooked items like the wagyu beef rice bowl, fried shrimp balls, and the cucumber salad (so good!). Fun and interactive concept grilling your own skewers. They charge for the charcoal and per person to use the seasonings. You also have to order your rice separately. Self serve skewer stations. So many options to choose from but our favorites were the pork and the variety of beef / wagyu skewers. Some meats have 2 skewers - double the price. They have a cheat sheet for how long to cook each specific meat. Overall a fun dining experience. Can't really comment on service too much since this was a DIY restaurant. They didn't really have to do anything or check-in on us since we're doing everything ourselves. Lol. I would love some sort of sauce to dip the meats in since the dusting of dry seasonings just tasted flat. All the skewers go in a metal canister and when you're done, the staff counts it infront of you. Between 4 adults, we did about 70 skewers. Which was not bad at all cost wise. *Chubby Club membership pricing is $1 per skewer, free charcoal, and free seasonings.

Stop by to try this chinese bbq place. We choose and pick the skewers in the fridge area our self then bring them to our table to grill (there is an instruction on the table for how long we need to grill them) once it done, we can add some spices that is provided on the table, but the skewers it self are already marinated and tasty even without additional spices. For me, since I like spicy, I add some chilli, cumin & dry spices. Its a new experience for the kids, they really enjoy to choose, grill then eat them. It was really fun and most importantly is that the food is delicious!!! Be cautious, you might be addicted and won't be able to stop eating ^_^.

Saw this place mentioned on social media so I gathered a group of friends and we checked it out for dinner. The restaurant is a cook your own skewer at your table type of place. Setup is simple: they bring a charcoal cooking box to your table, you select as many or as few skewers you want from the coolers, cook them to your liking, and they charge you per skewer at the end. The options are many and varied. We had shrimp, scallops, bacon wrapped enoki mushrooms, lamb, teriyaki chicken, brisket, pineapple, bell peppers, wagyu, Toast, even roasted a spike of garlic. They provide cumin, a dry spicy rub, chili powder and sesame for flavor. I feel that an assortment of dipping sauces would compliment the setting, but they don't have them- that's the only thing keeping this food from being spectacular. All in all it's a fun place and a nice change from the norm. Definitely recommended.

Came here with the family for a fun dinner experience, and it delivered on the vibe! The retro neon-lit décor is super Instagram-worthy, and the self-serve skewer bar concept is genuinely unique in the Valley. We grabbed a mix of wagyu beef, lamb, chicken, and veggies -- the quality of the meat was solid and everything tasted great fresh off the charcoal. The staff really made the experience. Everyone was warm and welcoming from the moment we walked in, and they were attentive throughout the meal. When our charcoal started dying down, they came by and swapped it out without us even having to ask -- that kind of proactive service goes a long way, especially when you're managing kids at the grill. A few honest notes: the portion per skewer is on the smaller side (at $1.20-$1.30 each, it adds up fast if you want to actually feel full), so go in knowing this is more of a fun experience than a hearty meal. Also, if you're bringing younger kids, keep a close eye on the grilling -- the charcoal gets extremely hot and it can be tricky to tell when smaller pieces are fully cooked through. Parents should plan to manage the grill for little ones. Overall, a great spot for a social night out or a family outing -- just don't arrive starving. Would recommend getting the membership if you plan to come back!

We've gone to Chubby Skewers three times now and it's better now than it was during their first few months of opening. First visit: The options were lackluster, the service sucked and we left not wanting to come back. We hated everything on their menu except their skewers. We especially hated the stir fried noodles or the scallops in garlic sauce. Everything was so salty and inedible. Second time: good, better variety and service was a little better. We had no complaints but nothing wowed us. Third time: WAY better than previous visits. Service was fast and friendly. Good options on their menu now. Fried rice is insanely delicious, I was surprised and expected it to be average. Cucumber salad is always good. Malatang was full of ingredients and soo numbing. We ordered the Chinese pancake wraps but they dropped off tortillas... which we didn't understand. $6 for tortillas. If we wanted tortillas, we would have asked for tortillas. They should have let us know they were out of the wraps instead of dropping off tortillas so we don't order them lol. Skewers are still good and they have better variety now. They have unlimited Pepsi if you pay for the first round. Super loud and lively, so if that's not your thing, avoid.

For a first time experience, it was a little overwhelming. The hostess was very nice and showed us the process. Very fast and you get what you want, nothing more, nothing less. Thanks! We came here while charging our Tesla...good stop!

Great idea on food. Quick service. Fun environment. Will definitely come back for more. I'm too full!
