Chili cheese dog is pretty good. This is their second location. Their first storefront is in Santa Barbara. This place was started out of a food cart in Santa Barbara and progressed into a storefront.

Having already been a fan of their Santa Barbara location, I was super stoked to hear they were opening their first Ventura County spot at the Pacific View Mall. They're currently in their soft opening phase, so you know I had to check them out! Walking in, it's a nice casual spot and super easy to access since they're right outside the mall on the corner. I stopped by for a late lunch and got there before the rush, which was perfect. The staff were friendly and welcoming, just all around good vibes. I was also impressed with how big the menu is. This isn't just a hot dog spot as they've got melts, burgers, and plenty of sides for sharing. I kept it simple and went with a bacon wrapped hot dog with all the sauces (ketchup, mustard, mayo). Let me be straightforward with you...THIS IS A SOLID HOT DOG. No frills, just delicious. The bun was soft but grilled, the hot dog juicy, and the bacon crispy, so just a really good hotdog. If you're feeling more adventurous, they've got some fun and unique topping combos too. I'll definitely be back to try those next time. I paired mine with extra crispy hash browns and a fresh lemonade which honestly was the perfect combo. Also, quick note: they've got that good ranch...iykyk.

So nice on this , friendly and helpful on helping me find what dog I wanted. We will be back. Recommend by our veterinarian he said he loves this place. Now we do too.

Korean style Corndog

This was the "Korean style corn dog" overcooked, different size than the second one we ordered and didn't have the panko crumbs on the outside at all. Food was a 3/10 for other items ordered. Restaurant states it closes at 9 but employee was mopping at 8pm giving us limited access in the restaurant, couldn't even refill our drinks or grab napkins out of courtesy for their mopped floor.

Slightly embarrassed to say it took me this long to check out Mr. Chubby but so glad I finally did!…read moreI don't typically spend a lot of time near the avenue so I am not super familiar with the restaurants around here, other than the fantastic Love Well, which Mr. Chubby happens to be right next door to! I had to find a spot for a quick lunch in the area today and Mr. Chubby appeared at the top of the list! As I walked in, I was pleased to see a large and easy to navigate menu of the different options. With options for smashburgers, fries, and pattymelts, I quickly decided I would be getting a smashburger combo. Although I am not typically a big bacon person, I was intrigued by the dollar discount offered on the bacon jam smash combo, at $12 that price felt quite reasonable and I also opted to add arugula for an extra 25 cents. The cashier was very friendly and happy to answer any questions I had. He also provided me with a sample of the fresh Agua de Jamaica (hibiscuis iced tea) which was so delicious and I was excited to have this as a drink option, as I do not drink sodas. I took a seat outside at one of the tables, which I will admit are a little bit rickety - they could benefit from some more sturdy tables/chairs without slats in them but they did the job. I enjoyed having the beautiful view of the hills to look at and my order came out quickly. I was immediately impressed with the portion of fries and what appeared to be a beautiful looking burger. I have had some pretty negative smashburger experiences in the area, so it was an absolute delight to pick up this burger and not have the bun be soggy or falling apart - the bun was fluffy, not soggy at all, and did a great job at holding everything together. The ingredients were all incredibly fresh tasting and flavorful and I really enjoyed the bacon jam, even though I don't typically like bacon. It had grilled onions in it and also did not overpower the flavor of the burger. I was also glad that this burger was not overly salty, as has been my experience with some other smashburgers. The fries were also very tasty. I managed to finish everything and was very full after - definitely come hungry! Cannot wait to come back here again and will definitely be recommending Mr. Chubby as the smashburger king of Ventura! Parking can be a bit difficult in the area, depending on the time you come. You may find a spot nearby very quickly or you may have to circle around a bit. Today I was lucky to find a spot right away on the ave.

Okay this place is awesome! I love the food, service, and location as there are limited spots on…read morethis side of town. I had been hearing good things and had the opportunity to come with a friend for dinner and our experience was 5/5. This restaurant is unassuming and easy to miss as they don't have a parking lot so cars are driving by quickly. Yelp helped me find it and social media so thankfully it was already on my radar. I parked across the street on a residential street and walked, no big deal. The name of the restaurant is cute and definitely prepares you for the idea of getting a hefty burger. The interior was orange and eye catching. It's a minimalistic type of decor but definitely felt spacious for a small spot and clean. Welcoming as well. The menus are monitors on the wall so it was easy to view the menu. Fingered id keep it simple with a smash patty melt and shared a fry with my friend. The service and staff here were A+. The gentleman working the register was super personable and welcoming. He was patient with us being that it was our first time. The vibes were good here and I felt that my business was appreciated. The music playing when we came in was classic oldies and created a good wholesome vibe. The food was super delicious and one of the best patty melts I've had in a long time. The bread was perfectly grilled and buttery creating a nice crunch. The burger was good to perception and we loved the combo of the classic slightly gooey American cheese and grilled onions. Fabulous flavors! Classic and done right. The chubby sauce is close to a thousand island and we loved it with the burger. They are also generous when you ask for sides of sauce, we were appreciative. The fries were classic no frills but tasty. We agreed they have good ranch for dipping and honestly this was a simple but super tasty meal. I'm really happy to have found this spot and will definitely come back when I'm on this side of town. Serving up great burgers but also worth noting on the menu we saw a chicken sandwich, hotdogs, and a couple of salad options. I'd highly recommend their patty melt but nice to have some variety if you don't eat burgers. Love a place that's adorable, has tasty food and really nice staff - an easy Yelp 5 stars all day long.
