Dope concept. Hamburger meat was fine. Leanna was really accommodating to our questions and provided excellent service offer to cut our food and telling us about the cheese show for the best photos. Amazing experience.
Exceptional food, yet the price also reflects this. Nevertheless, great food, and my server, Leana, was amazing and very kind. Overall an amazing experience, great for a date night, or any other special occasion.
Tracey and Jacob gave great service!!!!

Chubby Don offers a unique dining experience centered around high-quality wagyu hamburgers and skewers, cooked right at each bar seat on individual grills. The menu features a limited selection, with highlights including the wagyu patties, which are tender and flavorful, often paired with an onsen egg, rice, and a variety of sauces. Diners particularly enjoy the beef tongue and other kushiyaki options, which provide unique flavors and tender textures.
The restaurant has a casual yet intimate atmosphere, accommodating around 15-20 guests, making reservations advisable during peak hours. While the food quality is praised by many, some reviews mention that the patties can be a bit dry and that the overall pricing is on the higher side. A Chubby Plus membership offers additional benefits, such as discounted pricing and unlimited refills on soup and rice.
Service is generally attentive and friendly, with staff willing to explain menu choices and recommend sauces. However, some diners noted that the space can feel cramped and that communication from the staff could be clearer, especially during busy times. Overall, Chubby Don is recognized for its interesting concept and delicious food, making it a worthwhile visit for those who appreciate quality ingredients and a unique dining setup.
