Saw it on tiktok and originally was a bit skeptical looking at the outside of the shop. I admit I was wrong. Everything was amazing, from the steaks, wings, sides, and french onion soup everything was amazing. Not only that, the service was great. Our server explained everything for us and was very attentive. The adjacent bowling alley only added good vibes. read more

Cannot go wrong with a meal and drinks at Tubby's! Welcoming environment, friendliest staff, and fantastic food.

Tubby's staff was great and accommodating to the large group after bowling. Large variety of food options for how small the place is. The steak is delicious! read more

I LOVE TUBBY'S!! This casual neighborhood staple checks all the boxes every single visit. There are plenty of tables and a few seats at the bar--and once inside you'd never know you were inside of a bowling alley. All of the food I've tried has been better than most "bar food" type places. This visit I got the grilled chicken salad and it was spectacular. The service is always amazing too. Definitely give it a try! read more

Tubby's Pub & Grub - Grilled chicken salad with ranch dressing - American Near Me - Saint Charles, Missouri

Awesome food, steaks are excellent. Great service. Back room on weekends is nice. I highly recommend this local restaurant

We were first greeted rudely because we were walking around trying to find the hostess stand. After that, we were seated and had a good experience the rest of our dinner. Ordered the ribeye - delicious. read more

Unfortunately I cannot comment on their food because our group left before we ordered any. Our group of friends meet monthly to check out different places to get together to eat/drink, based on word of mouth from others. TUBBY's was a major fail! From when I arrived first & sat at table a for 6/8, the server asked me when the others were arriving & told me they "flipped tables" there. Feeling uncomfortable, a few of us were going to order food before the others arrived & when we told her we were ready to order, she pointed her finger at three other tables & said she had to take their orders first & then she would take ours. She was soooo rude, we left & met up with the rest of our group at a Mexican restaurant around the corner, where we had excellent service and a great time!! #NO MO TUBBYS read more

Second time here, very busy tonight, probably because no one wants to cook in this almost 100 degree heat! NY strip steak, salads, toasted ravioli and cheeseburger. Food was excellent, very tasty , we usually bring food home, but we ate every bite. Only challenge, they are really struggling for staff. The lead server was trying to cover every table because it was the other server's second day. The lead server was unbelievably kind and efficient . Just know if you go, be patient, and kind read more

Not your average restaurant in a bowling alley! Their food is seriously awesome. I've never seen faster service either. Would highly recommend checking this place out. Their prices are unbeatable for what you're getting! read more

Had a ribeye that was delicious and affordable! Great prices, good food & good service. It's casual dining (adjacent to bowling alley). Definitely family friendly. read more

Do you love buffalo chicken pizza? STOP! This place has the best..hands down...first place...buffalo chicken pizza! I have ventured out to try others and they just don't compare. I am not even a pizza fan and I order it almost every time. Their entire menu is amazing. They have a wonderful steak sandwich. Every soup has been delicious. Now, the atmosphere isn't the most inviting, but do remember you are in a bowling alley. I will say the bar stools make up for it. I could sit in one all day. The most comfortable bar stools in St. Charles County. Tubby's is one of my go-to places. read more

Hubs and I take everyone we know to Tubby's. We always insist the same filet order is the one we guarantee. We've not found a better filet in all the world...honestly, even traveling we have compared and Tubby's filet always wins! read more

This has to be the best kept secret in St. Charles. My husband kept INSISTING this page had the best steak in St. Charles. In a bowling alley??? HE. WAS. RIGHT. My strip steak was PERFECTLY cooked, had incredible marbling, had a crisp sear, delightfully seasoned, and topped with a delectable butter that made me want to lick the plate. The sides were average. Service was top notch, with the waiter getting every request perfect, drinks refilled before we asked, and anticipating every need. Even though he'd coveted everything, he still checked in multiple times to see if everything was good or if we needed anything. I'll be honest about the ambiance: it's a bowling alley. They have cheap tables and chairs, and the decor is their sponsorship of local teams. I loved it! I definitely wanted to support a business that was so invested in their community. It doesn't try to be fancy and they don't overcharge you to pay for fancy decor. If you want good food, good service and to have a good time while you're here, this is the place for you. read more

Not sure how long this establishment has been open but it's located inside Plaza Lanes Bowling Alley which has been open since the 1970's. The bowling ally is clean , bright and updated and had 24 lanes , a pro shop and Tubby's has a full bar.The service was fantastic and the ambiance was great.They have a varied menu and Steaks and pizza are some of their specialties. I had the Tubby burger and it was fantastic, I/2 pound seasoned perfectly and cooked just how o wanted, topped with American cheese, pickles and onions served with tubby fries( thin cut on sight). Definitely worth the visit. read more

One of the best steaks in St Charles! Wings are awesome too! Don't sleep on this place because it's in a bowling alley, they have great food and service! read more

I had such high hopes. Every review I read was great and everyone I spoke to said it was the best steak in the area. Our server was wonderful, very friendly and doing everything she could with quick refills! Although the wait was nearly an hour for a table and 45 minutes for food, that is the least of my worries after receiving the food. In my group of 5 people, 3 of us, including myself ordered the ribeye. I can say without a doubt it was one of the worst steaks I've had in a very long time. Imagine taking a beautiful ribeye and boiling it in butter until it's cooked through. That is the only thing I can compare to the steak that was placed in front of all 3 of us. There were no char marks or seasoning, only loads of melted butter. It was slightly overcooked, but that can be easily overcome with a well seasoned and cooked steak, which this clearly was not. I cannot in good faith recommend anyone to get a steak. That said, if you're looking for a burger or chicken tenders - this might be your joint. read more

I have been Tubby's many times over the past several years and most recently a few days ago. Usually the servers are friendly and the food is ok. Most recently my visit was the same except I thought the bill was outrageously high. I don't mind getting average if I go to an average restaurant but I don't want to pay an outrageous bill for it. Not a good experience. Thanks read more

Oh my gosh.....this meal was excellent....and it's attached to a bowling alley!!!! We started with a yummy appetizer of toasted ravioli, a St. Louis favorite. We shared the entree, which consisted of two tasty sides--a side salad (with decent lettuce, not just iceberg!), a baked potato, and two pieces of char-grilled chicken breast !! It was the perfect amount of food for two to share! This is one of the tastiest meals I've had!!! AND, to top it all off....this place is clean and NON-SMOKING!!! Thanks, Tubby's...we will be back!! read more

The food was just ok. I was expecting my steak to come out on a sizzling platter.it did not!! The platter wasn't even hot. The steak tasted odd, like it was old. Not at all what I remembered from past times. Our waitress was great!! She acknowledged us right away. We received our drinks and food in a timely manner. I will probably not be going back. read more

Always has been a great place to go, both for service and especially their burgers and steaks! Can't beat them - anywhere!!

Tubby's came highly recommended to us for an "amazing steak". I've had a lot of steaks in my life and Tubbys is most definitely not it. The steak lacked flavor- the green beans were bland and the potato was fine but nothing to write home about. Not sure what all the hype is about. It was fine but there are far better steaks in the area. read more

We are new to the area and went for the first time because of the reviews on Yelp. It was packed, and we didn't see a sign that said 'wait to be seated', so we started looking for an open table. I saw a table that was empty but needed cleaned off and I started walking towards it, and one of the servers was super rude to me and snapped "we have a waiting list". I walked back to my husband and he had also been rudely told "there's a waiting list". There was no hostess stand and no indication of where we would even put our name on a waiting list. All they had to do was ask "would you like to be added to our waiting list" instead of being snappy and rude to us. We had never been there before and didn't know the rules. First impressions are everything. We were obviously not welcome and will not go back no matter how many other good reviews there are. One star only because you can't give zero. I have never felt so unwelcome. read more

Wonderful food and service! We sat at the bar with the most comfortable barstools ever! We will be back!

Unless you grew up in St Charles, you might pass Plaza Lanes just thinking it's a bowling alley. While it's true, people bowl there and on first glance, you might think Tubbys is just the bar at the bowling lanes - but you would be mistaken. It's actually one of the better places for steaks in St Charles. It's not fancy, but its good. The drinks are strong, the staff is helpful, but the steak is way more then you would have guesses. Cooked to the right temp, full of flavor, just a great bite all around. Best of all, they finally topped allowing smoking inside! It's finally bearable to grab that steak! read more

Tubby's Pub & Grub - Ribeye, baked potato and green beans - American Near Me - Saint Charles, Missouri

My wife's double pork chop dinner has a five star rating and my steak dinner only a 3 star rating . The steak was medium rare as I requested, but the butter sauce drowned the meat. Being a 14 ounce cut, it was relatively thin and also lacked much flavor due to the butter sauce. My side salad which I requested their poppyseed dressing was also disappointing, due to a very bland tasting dressing. Compared to other restaurants their alcohol drink beverages are extremely reasonably priced. Got to give them credit for that. I will be back, but the steak will not be on my next order. read more

Tubby's hands down has the best steaks. The Tubby butter is absolutely amazing. Anytime my kiddos want to bowl I will steer them to Plaza Lanes knowing we can get an amazing dinner after. The staff is absolutely fantastic and courteous and they make sure you have anything and everything you need. If you are in St Charles and looking for a perfect dinner/supper stop in at this place! read more

Went there for lunch. Service was good and food was good. Covered all the bases. Don't be shocked when you walk in. It's really a restaurant not just a bar. I'd go back again. read more

Food is above average. Service is almost always great. Not fancy but the food makes up for it. Excellent steaks!

Let me start by saying that this place has some of the best steaks in town. Loved it. The spicy fried pickles are amazing but are not a regular menu item. I hope this changes soon, they deserve a permanent spot on the menu. I thought the spicy garlic sauce was a bit too salty and green beans we very bland but the rest was amazing, including the huge chicken strips and homemade blueberry cheesecake. Very small place but speedy, helpful, and kind service. A hidden St. Charles Gem. read more

Food was good for being in a bowling alley, service was okay. The waiters seemed to be rushing and we had to have a plate sent back twice do to undercooking but other then that it's a very nice restaurant/pub type deal and I would definitely go again on a better day. read more

Good food. Terrrrrible service. I swear our waitress walked past us 10 times and served people who she sat after us. Like she literally disliked us. We didn't even get a chance to offend her! (Maybe we share an X?!? I mean it was me and another middle aged lady ready to drank and eat and leave a nice tip...‍) Anyways, the kitchen saved her. It did look like a meal from the early 80's. Food is no frills, plating, same, but it was tasty. I would go back, albeit praying I didn't run into the same waitress. She probably got some bad news right before we got there, though, right? read more

What a surprise... wow best hamburger in St Charles for the price!! Skip bowling and go eat!

Great steaks at reasonable prices. Not a fancy restaurant, but casual atmosphere. The service was excellent.

Been living in the area for a while and have always heard good things about the food at Tubbys..unfortunately we had the worst service ever..was there 15 min and the waitress was so rude we left..disappointing because we like to support the locals but seems if your not a regular your not welcome. read more

amazing service! much better than st. charles lanes not too far from there. everyone is friendly and ready to help if there is any issues. the food is also very yummy!! read more

It's a bowling alley with a bar and grill attached. My first thought is the outside looks like a dive place. But my coworker swore that this place has great steaks. Ok, I will try anything once. I was pleasantly surprised. Steak was cooked just the way I ordered it, medium rare. Good flavor but lacking a bit on the spice. Decent cut but a little too much fat on me end. Overall was very surprised about the steak. Potato was good, but average. So was the side salad. read more

Ok, I will admit I have had this place on my radar for a while, but kept avoiding it because, well it's in a bowling alley! But, I kept seeing reviews about the fantastic steaks, so we finally tried it. Holy cow, was this a great spot. Steaks are better than any chain and comparable to the fancy steakhouse's. These are tender, well cooked and seasoned goodness on a plate. Don't let the location scare you off, this place is awesome! One note, they do allow smoking. However, we were sitting between 2 smokers and would not have noticed except visually. They have some amazing air filtration in use. read more
