Tried this place out through Uber Eats because traffic was so bad there was just no way to get to it. We ended up going back to our Air BNB and ended up finding this place and decided to try it. After putting in our order and having 3 different drivers cancel on us, we finally got one driver that stuck it out and got our food. To be fair it was some weird event happening with a lot of uh I'll say people in huge jacked up trucks with huge wheels which is why we went back to our Air BNB we felt super uncomfortable. Anyways to the food we ordered quit a bit of food so first up is the cheese and queso. I thought this was really good. The cheese had great flavor and wasn't runny or watery. It was a really good consistency with a slight kick. The chips though were good and crunchy but could have used salt. They were also a touch oily. Next up the sampler. The quesadillas were actually bomb would get again, the mozzarella sticks were fried perfectly and still cheesy, The wings were well sauced but could have used some seasoning. The sauces for everything was also good. Lastly I had this huge bacon cheese burger with a fried onion on it. The burger was seasoned well and cooked just how I wanted it. This bad boy was thick and juicy and I would 100% get this again. The fries however were terrible. All in all I'd definitely order from here again. I hope next time I can actually eat inside the restaurant and try everything fresh.

Friendly local spot in a tourist destination. Great burgers and meaty chicken wings. If you get "hot" sauce be ready. It's flavorful but it's brings significant heat. Limited sides but great pub food overall. Check it out.

What a great time we had here! We were looking for something out of the way and found it. The service, our food, and the drinks were great!

We arrived about 5:15 on Sunday. About 25-30 people in the bar. Tod was our waiter. We ordered the pretzels and nachos. We had to ask for plates. The beer cheese was terrible. The cheese tasted like cold beer it had absolutely no cheese taste. The nachos were probably the worse I've ever had. The beer was cold. We were supposed to meet 4 other couples there but we called them and told them not to come. We were so hoping Bluff's would be great as we live within walking distance and myself and my friends love to hang out. We told Tod and 2 others at the bar how unsatisfactory the food was and I told them that I do Yelp. ... good and bad. $39.39 and terrible. A photo taken of the bill.

Everything nachos!

We stopped in for a bite after shopping all day. Really hot out so we were not going to go anywhere until we saw a sign for BLUFFS ON A BILLBOARD . Found it with ease. Everybody was very polite. We got seated really fast. They were remotely busy. It was 830. Our order was taken pretty fast and we got an amazing appetizer and drinks. I've had loaded not shows before, but I've never had loaded nachos that had kidney beans please enjoy our picture. It looks good enough to eat right from the screen That's a five star meal in itself. We left satisfied. We also had a drink, (of course alcohol) but we're over age of 21. lol

Happy to check this place off our list but this is a "one and done" kind of place for us. The owners/managers don't seem to care much because there is no efforts to upkeep. Broken tables, ripped/overly worn seats. The restrooms are one person at a time so quite the wait. Upon arrival we wasn't sure if we were supposed to be seated or seat ourselves. After about 5 minutes of standing amongst other diners waiting to be seated, I went to the bar to ask an employee. She told us to seat ourselves. We ordered the nachos for an appetizer. They tasted like they came straight from the microwave. We also ordered the club sandwich with fries and 8 mild wings. The wings had a good, savory flavor. The club was your typical club. The fries were a bit too salty but cooked well. Again, I'm happy to finally have checked this place out but will not be returning.

Visited on a Friday night (10/6/23). Service was good. Music was loud but it was also music video bingo night. We were looking forward to their prime rib special but apparently they removed it from their menu. We were disappointed, but we decided to try steak fajitas instead. We are from Texas, home of Tex-Mex. DO NOT ORDER STEAK FAJITAS HERE. It does not taste good! Thinly sliced beef with no flavor for $19.99. Husband got a Mountain Margarita for $11 and it was okay. We also shared Zesty Rolls appetizers ($12.99) and they're kinda like southwestern eggrolls at Chili's. A little pricey for 3 eggrolls. We will return but definitely sticking to burger or wings next time. PSA: sit on the right side if you prefer quieter seating.

Heartstopper

The food here is AMAZING. Abundant portion sizes and all made fresh to order. The onion rings, burgers, and wings are each massive. Everyone was working well as a team to ensure great service. Large flatscreens make watching the game simple. One of the best margaritas I've had in a long time.... Bartenders know their stuff, too!

Pile of tenders

I hate to crack in to the local hot spot but this place is great! The food is fresh and- seasoned thank god. I couldn't take another tourist trap meal spot. If you get the wings or tenders get the hot chocolate sauce. (A little warning, it's spicy) Service was really quick and everyone here is really friendly.

Fried pickkes

We're visiting from out of state and found Bluffs on yelp and decided to give it a try and we were not disappointed. The prices are average in my opinion. We had a party of 8 with 5 kids from 3-15 and they all loved it! There was plenty of room for us and even a few pool tables. The food is amazing! The flavor was unique and delicious. Eat here!

Burger and French fries

See all

Chubby's Restaurant - Smash Burger!!

Chubby's is a classic restaurant that offers American comfort food. The great dinner feel of the…read moreplace is an excellent representation of the bygone era of the traditional dinner. It has a real down home feel. The place offers burgers (Mushroom Swiss, BBQ Burger), sandwiches (Cheesesteaks, Reuben, BLT, Chicken Sandwiches with Ranch/Buffalo options), and hearty baskets with fried chicken, cod, or shrimp, plus breakfast served all day, desserts (chocolate pie!), and options like pork chops or steak. They have someone thing for everyone. Everything is cooked to ordered. We started off with deep fried deviled eggs. My wife had the Beef Stroganoff. While I had the House Smash Burger. The stroganoff is served in a wide, shallow bowl that showcases the sauce's glossy sheen and the generous scatter of sautéed mushrooms. Steam carries a rounded, savory bouquet: beef-forward notes, toasty browned butter, and the faint acid of a finishing touch -- likely a splash of vinegar, wine, or lemon -- that hints the sauce will be bright rather than cloying. The presentation is simple and effective: no unnecessary frills, just clear evidence that plate composition exists to showcase the food's strengths. The sauce is the star: a glossy, velvety emulsion built on a brown stock backbone, enriched with sour cream (or a light cultured cream), and tempered with mustard and a touch of acidity. The mushrooms are properly caramelized, offering an earthy counterpoint and slight chew that complements the tender beef. Onions are present but not intrusive; garlic and a whisper of thyme or parsley frame the dish without flattening the primary flavors. Chubby's pairs the stroganoff with broad egg noodles -- they're al dente-yielding and capture the sauce in their folds, which makes each mouthful a composed, layered bite rather than separate elements awkwardly forced together. The Smash Burger was an equal masterpiece as well. In an era when burgers can feel formulaic and predictable, the SMASH Triple Burger with Chubby Sauce at Chubby's Restaurant stands out not just as a meal, but as a culinary statement, mine was constructed of three thin-pressed beef patties -- each seared to achieve that iconic lace of caramelization -- deliver an intoxicating aroma of grilled beef that primes the palate for something special. The smash technique here isn't a gimmick; it's a masterstroke that intensifies the beef's flavor while maintaining juiciness through every layer, a testament to precise heat management on the griddle. The Chubby Sauce, a house specialty that earns its name with rich, tangy complexity, serves as the burger's soul. It marries creamy umami with a whisper of sweetness and a balanced acidity that cuts through the savory heft of the triple stack. This sauce is not merely a condiment -- it's the architectural glue that binds texture and taste, elevating each bite into a chorus of complementary notes. What makes this experience remarkable was how it balances bold indulgence with thoughtful restraint: the trio of patties makes a statement, yet the burger never feels overwhelmingly heavy. Each layer interacts harmoniously, and the Chubby Sauce is nothing short of inspired -- tangy yet creamy, bold yet nuanced. We topped it all off with pie. My wife had the peanut butter while I opted for the Apple pie was our desert. Dessert at Chubby's often arrives with the quiet confidence of a house specialty, and the both the Apple & Peanut Butter Pie is no exception. If you think you've had every version of apple pie, this one will surprise you. Chubby's Apple Pie is warm, comforting, and brilliantly balanced. The apples are tender and spiced just right, the crust is buttery and flaky. The peanut butter pie has a subtle, savory richness that keeps the dessert from being overly sweet. It's indulgent without being heavy and memorable in the best way. An absolute must-order if you save room for dessert. This was a great dining experience and in a tourist dominated area, this place stands out as real down home cooking that your grandmother made. Highly recommend, this is one the most stop sites if you are in the area.
