    Looks great
    Kalani M.

    Food was pretty great I think my order came out misplaced it slowly trickled in while i watched other people get their food! Pretty good but I liked Black Bear Diners food the best. My hamburger was thin zero flavor bland my hash brown were alright my eggs made as fast as possible but all in all I would return but I still think Black Bear diner slow AF but Black Bear Diner has THE BEST breakfast in Fresno. I think I should give Chubbys another TRY food in pics looks bomb

    Breakfast sandwich with hash browns
    Molly L.

    We came here on a weekend morning and enjoyed our breakfast here. They were pretty busy but we were able to be seated at a booth in the back pretty quickly. I had their egg Benedict special with ham and my partner had the breakfast sandwich with bacon. We both enjoyed our meal, though the hash browns were a little more on the greasy side -- the important part is that they were crispy, and they were. Overall, the food is made well and the service is also nice. You definitely get a diner vibe when on walk in, and there are plenty of tables.

    Love Me Tender

    Breakfast ordered "Love Me Tender" with my veteran patriot. Customer service is always on point with greetings upon arrival & awesome smiles. Angie was our order taker. She always has a "bubbly" personality. My pinay sister Michelle is laser focused with good humor life experience to share with you. Music in the background, pictures on the wall provide the perfect backdrop for remembering the moments of our youth. I highly recommend Chubby's for your go to cuisine.

    Yum, we have tried everything on the menu. It's all awesome. Breakfast, with fresh coffee. Lots of friendly faces. The farmers omelette is the bomb! We get it with gravy on the side, fruit instead of potatoes, a pancake. The pancakes taste so good! I dream of them. Yum We highly recommend this awesome place and the awesome people there!

    Duke of earl

    After years of living in Fresno me and my wife finally decided to give this a place a try. when we walked in we immediately noticed how small the place is and no one was at the host stand so naturally I grab 2 menu and headed to the bar. the server was nice a helpful as we mentioned this was our first time here I learned they DON'T have turkey or beef breakfast meat ONLY PORK or turkey meat for a sandwich I ordered the duke of earl and my wife ordered the western steak omelette. about 5mins after placing a order I noticed they had a microwave joking I said to my wife what if that's what the use to cook our food sadly it wasn't a joke. I watched as they cooked my steak in the microwave and put it on the grill for 2mins and plate it to be served as seen in the photos below I didn't even touch my plate as for my wife she started off strong but that quickly ended when she noticed the texture of the steak in her omelet without fussing or any complaint we smiled and payed our bill in full and decided to go to Chick-fil-a

    I love Heirloom. This place is definitely the gem of Fresno! It's not a fancy, high-end restaurant,…read morebut they absolutely know how to plate and make food that keeps their customer come back for more. Their dishes have their own unique twist, and while they may not always follow the traditional recipe, everything is incredibly flavorful and statisfying. The flavors are simple, approachable, and easy to enjoy. Making it a spot that almost everyone would love. They mainly focus on the new American table. A little fusion of some other ethnicity food here. They mainly focus on their limited menu and always wing it everytime. The consistency is always on point. I love their fresh farm to table ingredients. Their plate is super affordable and beautiful. AMBIANCE :: This place is always pack. The line are always long but it does move up pretty quick too. Indoor is always pack and stuff. They do have a large patio too. I wouldn't really recommend sitting out in the patio during the hottest time of the day but it's not that bad too. They do have mist and coolers outside. Artificial leaves covering up the place cools it down a lot too. The PROS for dinning in the patio is the fresh air. SERVICE : Is great. With the high volume of guest and crowed it is. They are so patient and friendly. RATE : 5/5 PLATES :: If you're undecided and wanted a little bit of everything. I recommend choosing a plate. You get a little bit of everything. Ill say everything taste generic but so good too. WOOD GRILLED PROTEIN : SHRIMP W/ GARLIC BUTTER : Their garlic butter shrimp is so buttery. It's slightly seasoned and salted. RATE : 5/5 WOOD GRILLED PROTEIN : SALMON W/ TZATZIKI SAUCE : I love their soft salmon with a lightly crispy crust. Llightly seasoned. It's not fishy and gamey at all. I love their tzatziki sauce and it paired so well with the lemon juice too. RATE : 5/5 WOOD GRILLED PROTEIN : ANCHO CRUSTED PRIME TRI TIP : Nicely seasoned and salted. It's always come out medium rare, tender and juicy. RATE : 5/5 NOTE :If you like medium rare pieces of beef. Go for their tri tip. If you wanted more cook go for their ribeye. The cons about their ribeye is that they are not consistent. You can ask to be remade but it does take them awhile to cook it too. SIDES : TEPPANYAKI FRIED RICE W/ BACON : I love their bacon teppanyaki rice. It's probably a must have everytime you go there. I love their sweet sauce on top of the rice. It's a kids favorite choice too. The sodium level is perfect. Usually bacon would overly salted it but this fried rice is perfect. RATE : 5/5 SIDES : RIGATONI W/ SAUSAGE, PECORINO : Straight up generic boiled pasta with sour tomato sauce and sausage. It's so simple but its ok. I'll say this could be kids top 2nd favorite side dish. RATE : 4/5 FOUNTAIN DRINKS :: I love their unique fountain drinks. It's mainly focus on Mexican fountain drinks. OVERALL :: Sometimes the best food isnt about being authentic. It's about being delicious, the art, and this restaurant definetly delivers. I can already see myself coming back for more!

As usual there was a line, it took about 15-20mins for us to get to the front and orders taken. I haven't been here in years and I really missed it! Before reaching the registers our order was taken by a kind lady while we were in line. My order: salmon with tzatziki sauce, teppanyaki fried rice and rigatoni with sausage. I also ordered my kids from the lil sprouts: spaghetti with butter & parm. We requested for patio seat since we had our munchkins were with us. I've never seat in their patio area, it was wonderful! Shade, misters and ac though it was a hot 90 degree weather it was very cool and comfortable! Our food came out quickly and plated beautifully! Large portions. The food was amazing! So much flavors. The salmon paired perfectly well with the tzatziki sauce. The pasta was and the fried rice was delicious! The kids meal was also large portioned and enough for my kids to share and they enjoyed it. For dessert we ordered their frozen greek yogurt the baklava & honey was yum! Perfect treat to top our lunch! Will always recommend this place! They are Busy, but thankfully everything went smoothly.

Each time we are in the area (usually to visit Yosemite and Kings Canyon National Parks) we make sure to stop in. This visit we managed to come in twice! Yay! Just love the working model train set perched overhead in both eating areas. If it's not running, just ask your server and they will turn it on. First visit I ordered the shredded beef enchiladas (comes with refried beans, rice, chips and salsa) along with a nice refreshing beer. Second visit I ordered the Trainwreck breakfast (eggs, hash browns, bell peppers, onions, tortilla chips, jack and cheddar cheese. Plus choice of two meats and two additional vegetables.) with biscuit and gravy. I choose two types of sausage, zucchini and avocado. Oh and an ice cold beer of course. Both meals were fresh and delicious. No matter what I order here I always know it will be tasty and well balanced. Service is always friendly, helpful and courteous!

Everything was bland, but there are some condiments on the table to help a little. Would not come here again, but would not protest if someone I knew wanted to come here. Worth visiting once.

On our way home to So Cal from visiting we had to find a Tesla Charger which we found there on Blackstone. Nothing was open early Sunday Morning so we Yelped a close by spot for Breakfast and Chubby's caught my eye. Actually my 5 year old granddaughter was intrigued by the name so off wee went. Chubbys is an old timey Diner that probably hasn't changed much since the 70's. Vinyl covered seats in the booths. Oldies playing in the background. Older waitresses that smile and you can tell still enjoy their work. Food is nothing fancy. Good old fashioned comfort food. Big portions. You don't have to ask for toast cause everything came with toast. Coffee was always topped off. Loved it all. Now if you are used to your triple latte with soy milk and vegan breakfast you will want to keep driving. But if you want a hearty breakfast from a wonderful group of ladies. Chubby's is your place. The only complaint came from my 5 year old granddaughter who was upset that there wasn't a real guy named Chubby. I told her next time we will call ahead and make sure Chubby is there to greet her.

The usual hot sauces are also available, but the spicy salsa and pico de gallo took my hashbrowns and eggs from good to great. You also get quite a selection of available breads for toast. Hubby and I were both well pleased with the sourdough. They don't serve any mocha-choka-pinkidy-drinkidy drinks here, but the coffee is a good diner breakfast coffee that the lovely waitress will keep topped off for you. Half & half, vanilla and hazelnut creamers are available if you need a little something extra. It ain't fancy, but if we lived here...well, we'd probably be regulars in no time. Clean, quick, friendly, tasty, fairly priced, not crowded in the morning, would return.
