Came to central AL with the family from Texas on a vacation of sorts. Driving around between B'Ham and Clanton we were getting hangry. Pulled up Yelp and this place had ridonkulous reviews so we decided to give it a shot. Walked in and grabbed a to-go menu to sit down with at a table and figure things out. After asking the cashier a few questions we formulated our order, and it goes like this: Sloppy Fries appetizer (seasoned fries topped with a ground beef sloppy joe type stuff and cheese....killer!), Zydeco burger for the lady (burger topped with bacon, cheese, LTP, fried onions, and Cajun horseradish sauce), steak and eggs cheesesteak sandwich for the boy (cheesesteak topped with 2 eggs over easy), Vulcan cheesesteak for me (cheesesteak with sausage and Cajun horseradish). Eat here. It's so stupid good. It may clog every artery, but I don't see too many 5 star reviews of broccoli. read more

This place is a hidden gem. The food was terrific and large portions. I had the blackened fish tacos and fried onion rings. You have to try this place. The service was great and the cook came out to see if everything was good. read more

Went to Chubbfathers for the first time this past weekend. The parking lot was packed and they were slammed. We ordered takeout. After getting home and trying the Chubb burger, I knew why the parking lot was full. Best hamburger I have ever had, hands down. No comparison! The staff was super friendly and quick with the orders. Everything we ordered was perfect. We had some special requests that were all done. I know the Owner does a lot of charity work and this was one reason I wanted to try it out. Great business, great food, great staff. I wish I could give more than 5 stars! read more

1st visit. We had bacon cheese burger and shrimp Po-Boy. Both were great. Food was fresh And came out quickly. As good as any burger in the Birmingham MSA. read more

The man on the fryer knows his business. This is probably the best fried food I have ever eaten, trust me I have had a lot of fried food and they have it nailed. The sloppy fries are a must try and the fish is superb. read more

Food was too salty & onion straws were cooked too hard. The portions wasn't worth the price.

Potentially Good Burger but the last one was just too salty. When I reported it to the staff they just shrugged and apologized. No offer to reorder with less salt. The burgers were trashed and money was thrown away. Previous time the burger was awesome! Not so much when we returned again. read more

Doesn't look like much from the outside but let me assure you, it's worth the stop. Food comes out hot, juicy and delicious. You have to try the buffalo chicken fries and the philly! So good!! read more

Delicious! Everything was wonderful from service to food. We got the zydeco burger and the chubba burger and they were both very tasty! Would return! read more

The burger bun was the killjoy for me. Dry & dense, it really could have used a toasting on the grill to heat and moisturize. Both burger, fries & onion straws were too hotly seasoned. This was our 1st try. We had such big hopes. read more

I went here by a fluke a few months ago. I was starving and this showed up in search. I ordered the Philly Cheesesteak. It was delicious. The place it self isn't very clean but oh well. Still worth eating here. I'd say the best Philly in the area. read more

I ordered the double chubba which has bacon, cheese, on two 1/3 lb patties. The food speaks for itself. Serving sizes that'll put you to sleep. I would recommend to anyone that is in the area and even outside of the area to make a trip to this place. The owner works alongside his employees and they seem to have good chemistry. read more

Absolutely one of the worst experiences i've ever had everything was greasy, tasted like bad taco meat, and stiff.

Awesome wings and the fries are amazing and the employees are so friendly and helpful they get our right pretty much every time we come it's just a amazing place to eat read more

Love the Zydeco Burger and the Fish Tacos! A very casual and relaxed atmosphere with a huge menu to include several items for the kiddos. My family really enjoys hanging out here when we get the chance. read more

Chubbfathers - Blackened Fish Fish Tacos - Burgers Near Me - Alabaster, Alabama

First time here and I will be back! This place is awesome; really! I got the shrimp po-boy and french fries. The portions are a great amount and gave a lot of shrimp which is a rare find at most places. The owner was there and was very nice and accommodating as well as the employees. Plenty of seating and you can order to go. You have got to try this place! read more

Food was decent, but it is a dirty place. I won't be coming back for sure. I was really nervous that we would get sick. The table was dirty, the floor was dirty. We could see into the kitchen, which did not look very clean. You order first, then sit down and they bring it to you. When we ordered, the girl at the register told us the drinks were self-serve, even though it was behind the counter. It was rather awkward going into what seemed like an employee space to get our drinks. Finally, it's overpriced for what you get. Food was good enough, but nothing to write home about, and the prices were those of a higher-end fast casual place. I'd suggest Beef O' Brady's (Helena) or Baha Burger (Hoover) for the same type of food but higher quality and a cleaner place for the same price. read more

Awesome food and staff. I'll be eating here in the future and will invite friends to join.

Wonderful soul food, comfort food,& just good old fashion southern food. Only had experience with take-out, more than a dozen times, so not sure about dine-in service etc. carry-out is excellent service though, prompt & efficient. Food received hot and fresh. read more

I ordered the Deluxe burger and sweet potato fries. The flavor was awesome so much more than your average burger. The fries were crispy and savory. The service was friendly and quick. The atmosphere was relaxed and the AC was cool. Just what I needed after a day working in the heat. You can tell they love what they do the food is awesome. read more

With wings, burgers, PO Boys, shrimp and fish Chubbfathers has it all and at affordable prices. The family who owns this business are committed to helping the community. When you're ready to try a locally owned fast casual restaurant, I always recommend chubbfathers. Located just north of Shelby baptist hospital on us 31 in alabaster. read more

Food is average. Service is average but polite. Ordered a 'deluxe burger' (basic cheeseburger) with 'tater tots'. Burger was slightly burnt. Received some really awful sweet potato fries instead of tater tots. read more

Wings are decent but wasn't really excited about anything else. Before you get your heart set on something, call the restaurant and find out what's on the menu because many of the menu items you can only get on certain days. Literally had to call the restaurant 3 separate times because everything we asked for wasn't being served. Also, the young ladies answering the phone didn't seem to know what was going on. read more

This is the second iteration of Chubb I'm aware of. They had Chubb's in old strip center in Alabaster several years ago where the original Papa Sais used to be. We went once and weren't impressed at all. Today post scrimmage game son was starving wanted burger or wings. We'd not been to this location/ variation of the Chubb restaurant so we gave it a shot after some reading some solid yelp reviews. Small strip center off the south bound side of 31 in Alabaster. Small end space. The format is order from the counter and the cashier brings your food to your table. She was very nice and knowledgeable about the menu. They appear to be in between shipments as they were out of a number of their menu items. The menu spans tacos, burgers, wings, sandwiches and even seafood. Around 130ish there were maybe 10 occupied tables upon our arrival. Son ordered a Cajun cheesesteak w tots I had 10 wings w tots. The food was prepared to order. The tots were super crispy and well seasoned! The wings tho on the small side had good flavor. The hot was relatively mild temp wise. The flavor was good. I will go up a heat level next time. The Greek was something I'd never had in wing form so I tried it. It was legit Greek flavors like what you would see in a good baked chicken dish used to sauce wings. Pretty good. Would have been great if allowed to marinade and then baked. Glad I tried it. Was something completely different. Son looooved his cheese steak. Tender grilled steak, a Cajun horseradish sauce, onions peppers cheese, lettuce, tomato pickles. I'd probably skip the lettuce tomato in a cheese steak personally, but he really enjoyed it. The pickle slices were excellent. A nice garlicy flavored. I stole one. All in all a good experience. The young lady that brought out our food asked if we wanted sauces, ranch etc... she brought ranch to the table and didn't nickel and dime us for the condiments / sauces. I hate when places do that. The interior isn't fancy. Petty minimalist with a couple TVs and inexpensive tables and chairs. Seemed reasonably clean. We will go back for a burger. We overheard the nice hostess/cashier/server lady explain to a couple that one of their burgers had been voted best burger in Shelby co several years running and that one of their burgers is going to be featured on food network next month. I also heard her say the blackened shrimp is the best thing on the menu. read more

Awesome hamburger and the Queso cheese fries are a must have. Friendly service great atmosphere how did recommend this place for anybody likes hamburgers read more

The shrimp Po boy was a disaster. Although not known for being a "neat Sunday picnic" sandwich, this thing was a "fall apart" artist. And the impossibly tiny sliver of tomato tucked deep down in the crease of this oversized and unwieldy bun...should be removed from the item description The chicken fingers were just okay. A great sauce to go with them might have helped. The okra and the fried pickles and the tots CLEARLY shared the same fryer, maybe the same basket drop. Hate to be harsh, but the build up of Chubbs's really misses the mark here. Thinking quantity at the expense of quality is a thing here maybe? Second visit, not smelling a third. read more

The service is good and friendly. We had the catfish po-boy and Deluxe cheeseburger. I recommend both. The owner was very courteous and came out to apologize for slow service which was not slow considering the number of people that were here. It's a good lunch stop with an impressive variety of choices on the menu. read more

Chubbfathers - Burgers Near Me - Alabaster, Alabama

Was driving through and picked a place based off reviews, and Chubbfathers did NOT disappoint. The Cajun cheesesteak may just be the best cheesesteak I've ever had. Every one in the family walked away full and pleased. read more

I thought 'how can a small burger joint... that you can drive by without noticing, have 4.5 stars, with 80+ reviews' and even higher rating with nearly 500 reviews on Google? Now I get it! 5 STARs from me! Good food is important, which they have. Got the Chubba and the flavor was amazing! Cheese, grilled onions, bacon, sauce, seared meat with that 'grill flavor'... heaven. BUT, what made the experience even better... the staff! I lost count the number of times I heard someone ask 'how's everything?', 'can I get you anything?' Should we expect that level of service everywhere? Perhaps. But we know it's unique today. But they have it!!! The experience was so great that I had to let them know, but was beat to the punch when I got up and was asked again 'how was everything?' Praise by me all around. There is nothing fancy about this place, but pride in business and keeping it family based works here. I'm a fan... will tell many others... and look forward to going again. read more

Thoroughly enjoy the food, would eat there everyday if I could. The poboy is my favorite.

I had the cajun catfish strips, red beans & rice and fried okra. It was hot and good. The breading on the fish and okra were perfect and very crunchy. My husband had the fried catfish filet, cold slaw and fried okra with a side of grilled shrimp. The shrimp were very large and tasty. I gave 4 stars because my husband wanted flounder which was today's special and they were out, they open at 11 a.m. and we arrived at 1:45 p.m. and I wanted the grilled crab claws as an appetizer but they were out. We hope they have these items the next time. If you want tasty seafood in Shelby County then this is the place. read more

Came in from out of town for an Ice Theater competition in Pelham and thought to give this place a try (excellent reviews). Best damn cheeseburger I've had ANYWHERE in a LONG time. Will be a repeat customer whenever here to watch my daughter skate. read more

I crave this place at least once a week!! Best food place in Alabaster. It's incredible. Their loaded cheese fries so good!

The sloppy fries are incredibly tasty! I go once in awhile, just for those and the double chubba! It's probably a good thing I don't live closer, or I'd have to go up a size or two in my jeans. read more

Our first time here. The menu is printed on the wall, and you have to order at the counter and then go sit. Read over the menu, and the Staff seemed to expect me to know exactly what I wanted as soon as we walked in, from the loud sighs he was making behind the register. There was no one behind us. Strike one. For a small local spot, I'd expect the prices to be a good bit less pricey than they are here. I could not bring myself to pay $15 for a po-boy, so the wife ordered what she wanted and got something more basic. Total for two people was still in the $30-35 range. We went and filled our drinks, sat, and waited. No waiter service. Strike two. Food arrived nice and hot, but for $12-15 a plate for a dinner portion, we did not expect to leave still hungry. Before you assume, my wife is 105 lbs, and I'm 180. Strike three. It was somewhat tasty, but not *that* tasty. I won't be able to afford this place often, which is a shame. I'd like to see them succeed but they are going to have to reexamine their basics first. Edit & Update: I forgot about the styrofoam plates, and did neglect to mention that this visit was about two months ago. read more

We read review and decided to give it a shot! Fish tacos, deluxe burger and my son got shrimp and all of it was incredible! So fresh, hot and just delicious! We will be back and with our friends! read more

The service is terrible and always has been. They get my order wrong every time and the latest time it was on an up charge. I called for a refund and they refused to refund my card. They told me I had to come all the way back up there if I wanted my money back. It's a running joke at my house about what they are going to mess up this time. I think we're done with this place. Terrible customer service. read more

Food is fantastic! Never disappoints. So many options and all are top notch! So, so good.

Yummy food & staff like family. Orders may take longer than average but it's so worth it! Everything is made to order & Family friendly atmosphere. Go get a cheesesteak!!! read more
