Eatting at Fontana's popular spicy chicken spots
Jakkie B.

We had an amazing first visit and were instantly impressed! We even got to meet the chef, and the entire staff was welcoming, friendly, and on point. My son is always chasing the best food hot spots around the San Bernardino area, so when we saw how busy it was on a Friday night, we knew we had to see what the hype was about. We walked in to a line and thought, okay... this place must be GOOD. Luckily, the line moved fast and ordering was smooth. And wow--totally worth it. The food absolutely delivered. It's just as good as Dave's Hot Chicken, if not better. The fried mushrooms were delicious, the fries were amazing, and the sandwiches were huge. My husband is a big guy, and one sandwich filled him up--with another left over to take home! Fair warning: it is spicy--but the flavor is so good it's worth every bite. Hands down, we'll definitely be coming back.

The chicken sandwich at Hot level was just perfect,very juicy and crunchy. The service was fast and friendly. This place is a hidden Gem. I'm glad I was nearby and stumbled across this place. I'm definitely coming back and bringing friends. If you live in Fontana and you are going anywhere but here for your chicken sandwich. I need to put you up on game. This is your new place to come for a chicken sandwich or tenders. If you get hot level and add some honey too it . Come give this place your business. You will not be disappointed.

LOADED FRIES !

At the top of the hot chicken game!! From the chicken sandwich to the tenders to the loaded fries. The house sauce is incredible and way different than anybody else's, they use more than just the hot seasoning, and the slaw is crazy good. Be careful if you plan on trying the Revenge Tender... that almost took me out LOL. Chubby's got the game on lock !

My husband and I recently stopped into Chubby's Hot Chicken for the first time after seeing some videos on social media about them. Definitely a solid spot for some hot chicken in Fontana. We came in on a weekday around dinner and they were pretty empty. Staff were friendly and patient with our questions. Service overall was efficient and the wait time for our food was low since there weren't a lot of diners at the time of our visit. The establishment overall also seemed to be clean and well-maintained. We were pleased with our meal. Our order consisted of a Mild #1 (two sandwiches and fries) and a Lite #4 (two tenders and fries). The chicken was tasty on both combos: fried crispy and juicy on the inside. Definitely good size pieces in the sandwiches and tender combos. The only gripe we have is that the spice level seemed to be off. The tenders were ordered to be 'lite' spice, but there was honestly no difference between that spice level and the 'mild' spice level in the sandwiches. I have a pretty low tolerance for spicy food and can handle a little kick. I could barely finish the two tenders and had to give most of the second one to my husband. Pricing seemed to be competitive with other hot chicken spots in the area. Other than the spice discrepancy, we were pleased overall with our first experience at Chubby's Hot Chicken. We would definitely return again in the future if we found ourselves in the area.

I was skeptical of the high ratings but I like their chicken. The chicken tender was good. The burger was also good but the chicken becomes soggy with the cole slaw and pickles in it. Id come back for the chicken tender and the delicious fries with thousand island sauce. They were well seasoned. I was not into their mac & cheese as it tasted like Kraft cheese and it was too mushy. Something was missing. I tried their $2 dollar spicy cheese sauce and it tasted like spicy nacho cheese. It had a kick but I had no desire to finish this. The chicken was nice and hot when I ate it there. It was crispy outside, soft inside, and very spicy after taste. I had the Hot flavor and the Crying flavor. Crying made my nose cry. I will have to try one below a Hot next time for reference. Its all seasoning but at least it did not give me a tummy ache like Howling Rays. The soda drink helped cool down the spice.

ADDICTED TO THIS CHUBBY! One local chicken place in Fontana that beats the competition black, purple, and blue. Against my strict diet, I find myself coming here to get an amazing cheat meal. I've tried all of their flavors and they are all winners. My go to is the Chubby Fries. The service is always, and sincerely... ALWAYS friendly and courteous. I like the casual ambiance which is welcoming. Not to mention, there is a great liquor store next door to grab a drink after picking up a to-go order.

Loaded fries
Mary J.

I went here today to try something new and it was really great! I got their loaded fries and it was super good. I got the lite level of spice and it still had a good spice to it. Perfect for me. Also, the fries themselves were really flavourful which i appreciate. Service was great too, the worker that helped me had some shared interests and we had a cute little conversation haha! Anyways, recommend!

Sauce
Manuk D.

Let's start off with the great customer service, the lady working in the front was helpful and very nice. They are fairly quick with the orders which was a plus. I order the mild heat for both the Sando and tender (this was the only complaint I had, the mild felt like very hot, so make sure you tell them to keep it low on the heat if you can't do spicy. Other than that the sandwich was fresh, juicy, the slaw worked perfectly (I would've preferred a bit more pickles), the tender was also very tasty, seasoned well but man spicyyyy!. The fries were as good as they get at these spots. Don't skip out on the sauce it just brings it all together. Would definitely give it a try if ever in the area. Also, before I left the lady came to clean up the table which I liked.

The heat style
Chivon B.

The service was amazing and the ambience was clean and professional. We ordered the number two, which came with a chicken sandwich and two chicken strips, and then the number four which was two chicken strips and just fries. Ok, I must admit that their heat is like no other. If you like hot then get their hot I had the hot, and smoked hot and it was a bit too hot for me and they came in with complementary low level heat, which was almost just like a regular chicken strip and that was amazing. I like hot food, but the other spices were just too much for me.

One of Each Combo with a side of Mac and Cheese

The hot chicken here is fantastic! I visited this location for the first time today and tried the sandwich and a tender with the smoked chubby heat level (which was perfectly spicy for my taste), and it was delicious! The chicken is flavorful both on the inside and out, and the batter was perfectly crispy. The service here is also great! As soon as I walked through the door I was greeted by the friendly cashier, and even as I was eating my meal, I was checked on by the staff if I needed anything else. The Mac and cheese was also delicious, it was packed full of flavor and perfectly cheesy! As someone who's been to Howlin' Rays in LA (iykyk) I would definitely recommend coming to Chubby's if you want some delicious hot chicken here in the IE.

The spice levels are legit too--not one of those places where "hot" isn't actually hot. I've tried a couple different things on the menu and everything's been solid, especially with the sides. Nothing feels rushed or low quality. It actually tastes like they care about what they're putting out. Also gotta mention the staff--they've always been cool and welcoming, which makes a difference. It's just a good vibe overall whether you're eating there or taking it to go. Not gonna lie, I catch myself craving this place randomly now. Definitely worth trying if you're into hot chicken.

The sandwich is decent, chicken is juicy but was very bland even with the cole slaw and sauce. Fries were all over the place, some looked fresh, some looked like they had been recooked a few times. They were also insanely bland, no seasoning at all. The mac & cheese is well, terrible. I don't think there is any real cheese in it at all. It's very watery and honestly a box of Kraft is better and cheesier. I paid 75 cents for a side of sauce and didn't even receive it. My order was not complicated so not sure how that was overlooked. This place has work to do to improve quality. Will not be returning.

The seasoning and spices were all throughout the chicken. I got the three-piece meal and the rice and beans were tasty. Beans had a kick to them.

The only thing keeping this from being a five star is, I felt like the price was a little high for what I received. But the quality of the food was very good.

The meat inside was equally flavorful and also moist. No dry chicken here. Deliciousness Score: 10/10 Empanada was just ok. It wasn't crispy. The outer shell was soft and they don't have any special dipping sauce for it. Only bbq, buffalo, ranch, ketchup, and cholula hot sauce. Deliciousness Score: 6/10 Mini churros were warm, crispy on the outside, soft inside. Tasted freshly cooked. They were even better than Disneyland. Iykyk Deliciousness Score: 10/10

I was in the area to pickup some xmas presents and was looking for dinner before heading back home…read more Found this spot with high ratings and korean fried chicken near me. Many places now are charging like $2/wing so I wanted to see how theirs was priced at $11.99 for 8 wings with an order of fries! I realize I should have paid the upcharge for flavored wings as the basic wings since the original wings were plain. (I guess I should have known, I was expecting more of a house special seasoning of sorts) I was given ranch and ketchup so I wasn't completely up a creek. The fries were actually also very solid, not plain fries but seasoned. When I called it in, I could tell it was legitimate Korean owned by the accent and was greeted by the friendly owner when I went to pick up. Place was really clean but empty on a Wednesday night. GO VISIT THIS PLACE! Totally worth a try. Keep this mom and pop place open to serve the community authentic korean quality eats!

The family and I have been long time customers since the previous location and we're honestly soo glad Chimaek has their own spot now! The menu is more extensive and haven't been let down yet. Once they've get the okay from the city for the alcohol license, this spot will be poppin'. Still, go anyways. Service is great! I went with the fried wings, I'm surprised I ate the them all! The parents got the tenders and boneless nugs, loved them. My sister loved the bulgogi beef. Music switches between KPOP and KRNB depending on the day you go. KPOP videos play on one screen while sports play on the other. There's also a tiny gacha section when you first walk in. Parking is located behind the building.
