Chubbie's Fried Chicken

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A Fried Chicken Connoisseur’s Review – 9.8/10

As someone who knows fried chicken, I can say Chubbie’s Fried Chicken in New Orleans (4850 General Meyer Ave) is a destination, not just a meal. Every detail is executed with care and precision.

The chicken tenders were phenomenal: juicy, perfectly seasoned, sweet, and bursting with flavor—each bite practically squirting with goodness. The biscuit was soft, fluffy, buttery, and impossibly fresh—one of the best I’ve had in the city. The white beans were comforting and flavorful; a touch more seasoning would make them perfect.

My family enjoyed the meal just as much. Dad’s shrimp dinner was cooked to perfection and packed with flavor, while Mom’s two-piece chicken hit all the right notes. Portion sizes were generous, and the food felt freshly made from start to finish.

Service was exceptional. Mrs. Melissa, even while being hurt, delivered professional, attentive, and friendly service that enhanced the experience. A big shout-out to her and the new ownership team, whose leadership keeps this restaurant thriving while honoring its legacy.

From the perfectly executed chicken to the buttery biscuit, fresh sides, and top-tier service, Chubbie’s earns a 9.8/10 in my book. This is comfort food done right, and I’ll definitely be back.

I haven't been here in years. They used to have the best food around. My mother and I went there around 5pm today and ordered 2 hot sausage poboys and a hamburger poboy dressed. The poboys were horrible. They were supposed to be dressed with mayo, lettuce,tomatoes, and pickles. All the poboys had 1 and half tomatoes, very little lettuce, 2 pickle slices and no mayo. The poboys were dry, and the meats were overcooked and had no flavor. The prices of the poboys were already high, but when we paid with a credit card we had to pay an extra fee because we used a credit card. If we are going to pay that kind of money for poboys we expect it to be very good, and it was not good at all. We were very upset and disappointed.

I was ultra disappointed with my order from Chubbies. No seasoning, no flavor. I was complete disbelief because I don’t remember it being this bland. The onion rings were fresh. No salt or seasoning but fresh. Hence the 2 stars. I found the young man at the window very polite. But.. oil of the chicken tasted old. Even the biscuit (which I previously LOVED omg) even that was hard. I don’t know if I came at the wrong time, if there is a new chef, recipe or owner.. but this was surprisingly bad.

I bought a four piece, fries, onion rings and a small chicken and sausage gumbo, the chicken was put on top of the fries, which made the fries soggy, the gumbo was, too small with no chicken and chopped up sausage, and the chicken was put in a brown bag, not box, which became very greasy by the time I got home and the chicken wasn’t seasoned, Beyond the skin, but it seems that’s with KFC, Churches and Popeyes! No one seems to season their chicken anymore!

This was first worst experience at this place, this place had currently switched to new owners or whatever and theses new people giving out moldy bread and when you call they either talk over you or say the bread brunt. But how can bread be burnt that was never toasted make it make sense. Bring the old owner back pleaseeee and thank you

You dont got to Chibbies for the decor your there for the chicken. Chubbie's like our live oaks, has roots that run deep in our neighborhood. Come on over, say hi and pick up a great meal. You can't miss with ANYTHING on the menu 😋

My order was taken by a young man who I felt was rushing me and a bit rude at the speaker. Once I pulled up to the window and nicely pointed out his attitude to him. His mother (the owner) told him to close the window on me and then she came and said he is autistic and she is helping him gain experience working with customers. I truly respect that effort, but I believe he should have closer guidance(stand next to him) while interacting with the public to ensure both his comfort and mainly his safety. Her being in the kitchen instead of nearby is not safe at all. Not everyone has patience or understanding. She came out of the kitchen to the window to say he’s autistic. Him working the window is not safe at all. Maybe being supportive nearby and most importantly additional training outside business hours could make a positive difference for everyone.

I've been hearing about this place for a while & finally decided to give it a try. The chicken was fried to perfection however it's very mild in flavor. If you like highly seasoned chicken with a spicy kick this isn't it, but for mild it was good. The onion rings were on point, the gumbo was good but not grandma good, everything else was just ok for me. Mashed potatoes & rice dressing just ok. But try it for yourself this is just my experience. Ad for customer service excellent they were very nice and attentive.

1 Hot sausage patty for an entire Poboy. That's ridiculous. Talk about a rip off. Below you mentioned in your reply that you put two patties per Poboy, then why did I only get one patty.? every po boy is supposed to have two pieces of Pattin sausage the one you gave me only had one.
