This was the meal of choice for a birthday meal. We got curbside service for 5 meals. The primary reason for the choice was the Zydeco burger; it's a bacon cheeseburger topped with Cajun horseradish and onion straws. A side of fried okra--and it makes for quite the belly-busting satisfaction you'd expect. Most of the rest of the party enjoyed various burgers. The only caveat may be that all the Chubbfather burgers are all about the add-ons. So if you have someone who just wants a plain burger with few toppings, you kind of just have to pick one and request which toppings to leave off. Probably makes it a little difficult on Chubb's to make sure every one is correct, but the one or two little blips were easy to correct at the dinner table with family. And lastly was the cheese steak. Good stuff with a nice soft bun and plenty of cheese. By the time we all finished our sandwiches and included sides (most chosen were the seasoned fries), and we barely had room for birthday cake! Might be nice to perhaps have an option to get just the sandwich without a side for maybe a buck less or something. You will not meet nicer people, though. The owner and staff have earned every kudo they've gotten not just for the fantastic food they serve up each day but for the "Feed the People" campaign and attitude they live by each day. Huge asset to the culinary landscape and the community at large. read more

Harley was exceptional! She explained all the sandwiches and made great suggestions. Sorry no photos because I ate it all. I had the sloppy sliders( have mercy) and my wife had the chicken sandwiches! We will for certain be back for more! read more

We stopped by here for dinner and I must say we were pleased. I had the chubba burger. It was pretty good. I wouldn't say it was the best burger that I have had, but it was one of the better ones for sure. I'd give the service 2 thumbs up. You order at the counter and take a number, then seat yourself. The staff checked on us multiple times without being annoying, which is something that I like at this kind of place. It wasn't super fancy, but it was good for a burger place. There were multiple football games on the TV so that's good if that's your thing. The place was pretty quiet. I would definitely eat here again. read more

Chubbfathers - Zydeco Burger - Burgers Near Me - Alabaster, Alabama

Great burger with sweet potato fries! I had the zydeco Burger which comes with cheese, bacon, onions and a horseradish type sauce (and a referral to a cardiologist ), with well crisped and seasoned sweet potato fries. Both were delicious, and at about $12 quite a good value. They do offer specials, and I was given a free beverage since this was my first time visiting. The process is ordering at the front of the restaurant, and food is brought to the table (it appears they also have an active takeout business). The front desk cashier - I believe her name is Caressa has an energetic demeanor, and was quite helpful in processing and delivering the order. In terms of finding the location, their signage is a little less than ideal, since they're in a strip center with no street signage. They're on route 31 south, next to beauty nails and spa, and alfa insurance. I'd highly recommend Chubbfathers for the burgers, and now that I know where it is I'll likely come back to try either the wings, seafood or po boys. read more

Best burgers ever! Always delicious and prepared to order. Great customer service too. I love their involvement with the community too.

Not sure how these ratings get this high. We went to the old place once and didnt like it And have been to the new location twice and same experience. 1.The catfish wassnt drained before battering and was full of Slimy watery pockets. 2. The peas tasted just like the metal can and had NO Seasoning At All. 3. The suash had no seasoning and was just Blahhh ! 4. The $13 dollar lunch was setved on a 7 in styrophome plate that you couldnt cut food on. 5 Cashier claimed he would bring our tea And didnt so I went up and had a lady get me some but she only had One then once back at my table the guy came and took it and said it was someone elses tea ????????????? And actually took it to them ....gimme a break.... 6 No one asked us how the food was OR If we wanted any refill on the tea So I had to seek it out and pour my own. REALLY Dissapointed And this is about the same as the last visit. 7. WE Will NOT Be Back for a third try !!! and its overprices for what you get ! read more

Delicious food! Great service! Please open more locations! I know that they just had to make the hard decision to close their other location in Chelsea. I have been here a few times in the past two years and the food never seems to disappoint. It's always tough to choose what to order. The burgers are so filling, my personal favorite is the pit stop. I love the fried egg in it! My husband loves the cheesesteak and the chubba burger. The chicken philly is another favorite as well. The wings are great and we love the sweet potato fries and fried okra. I think that it's exciting to be able to see them on upcoming game days at Alabama. I wish them much success! read more

I went to Chubbfather's Saturday for supper. All my usual dining-mates had other plans so I was on my own. There were a few people in line when I got there. Some were picking up to-go orders, some were picking up Grubhub orders and some were like me: in line to order food. I needed time to look over the menu so I stepped out of line. When I stepped back in line one of the cashiers (there were two) noticed, and knew I'd been there longer than some of the Chubby come Latelies and beckoned me over to give my order, which was nice. I got the Vulcan po' boy, all the way. Steak, sausage, onions, Cajun horseradish (I checked to see how spicy it was, since I'm a wimp) and I don't can't remember what else. I selected potato salad for my side. They took my name and gave me my drink and a number placard to put on my table. Then I waited for my food. And waited. And waited some more. There weren't a lot of people dining in, but there were doing a booming take out business. I don't know how many people had called in orders before I arrived (or after I got there, as far as that goes). It took 27 minutes for my food to arrive. Once upon a time that would have me fuming. But times are different now. The last four places I ate told me upfront that they due to the pandemic they were short staffed and wait times were longer than usual. I don't know if that's the case at Chubbfather's, but I have no reason to believe Covid 19 stops at their door. Is it inconvenient to wait half an hour for my food? Yes. Given the plague that's affecting Alabama right now, is that a first world problem? Hell, yes. Let's keep on waiting and see how the rest of the meal goes. The food came out and the spice level was right on the edge of what I can tolerate, I enjoyed the sammich but I took frequent sips of my soda. Two different folks came out frequently to check on how I was doing and provide refills. Maybe the sammich makers were short staffed/overly busy, but the front of the house folks were on the job. I can't say if the potato salad was made in house or came from a tub, but it was NOT your run of the mill potato salad that you get at nine out of ten sandwich shops or restaurants. Bonus points for the potato salad. So...points for being recognized by the cashier. Points for the tasty sandwich and tasty salad. Points for the attentive staff who kept my soda cup filled and checked on my frequently. Minus points for the wait. Three out of four ain't bad. I give Chubbfather's a thumbs up. read more

Chubbfathers delivered tonight (literally). We both got the Zydeco Burger and it was so good. They're burgers are consistently delicious. I got the fried pickles and he got the tots and we shared. Both were great especially after being delivered, sometimes they get soggy from other restaurants. Anyways, chubbs is our go-to burger spot in alabaster. We love this place. read more

How have I not heard of this place before? A friend told me about it while we were in the area and so we stopped in to get a bite. Warning...the double burger is massive. Don't order it unless you plan of eating 2/3lb of meat in one sitting. If that is your plan, then feel free to delight in the fresh cooked, greasy deliciousness that is this massive burger. They've got a variety of things on the menu ranging from burgers and fries/tots to po-boys. The portions are huge, the prices are good and they don't start cooking your food until you order it so it comes out fresh and piping hot. Great example of an elevated grease pit type situation. Definitely worth it to stop in and give them a try. read more

Chubbfathers - Zydeco burger and tots - Burgers Near Me - Alabaster, Alabama

Road tripped to Calera to go wine tasting at Corbin Farms and tried out Chubbfather's after seeing the great reviews. We were not disappointed! We were a bit surprised at the interior of Chubbfather's. Not sure why we weren't expecting a divey atmosphere, but that's what we got. We're good with that. You place your order at the counter and they bring your food out to you. My dad got the shrimp poboy, my mom got the sliders, and I got the Zydeco burger, with the onion rings (note that these are very small, thin onion rings, not the thick rings like you'd get in place of French fries) and Cajun horseradish sauce on the side. We all got fries with our meals. My dad liked the poboy a lot, although he couldn't eat it all. Small stomach, he has! My Zydeco burger was probably one of the best burgers I've had in a long time. I wound up liking the onion rings but not the horseradish sauce. Regardless, the burger was juicy, cooked perfectly, with a great ratio of fat, and the BACON was fabulous. Cheese plays well with the flavors, too. My mom felt similarly about her sliders. We all enjoyed the semi-spicy fries, too. Generous portions all around. The only reason this place gets a 4 instead of a 5 is that the bathroom was rather grimy and could only accommodate one person at a time, and the folks who took our order came across as a little impatient. Nothing that'd keep me away from that burger, though! I'd definitely revisit Chubbfather's if given the opportunity. read more

The burgers were fantastic and the fried Okra and homemade ranch dressing was so good!.

Stopped in because I heard the burgers were good and I was glad I did! This burger was top notch. The bread was toasted nicely and all of the toppings were fresh. Nothing on the plate was over cooked. The fries were amazing especially when you dip them in the horseradish sauce. I also really enjoyed the staff. They were so friendly and welcoming it definitely made me want to return to get that burger again. read more

Business was hopping here tonight, good for them! We went in to eat but decided to do take out instead as the restaurant was a little too busy for us in consideration of COVID. The staff was super nice and very efficient. Food was very fresh and yummy! We ordered the onion straw appetizer and then added it to our salad and our sandwich....the food was already good without the addition but even better with, haha. I really liked their onion straws! Very thinly sliced and not over breaded. Yum. Portion size was very good too. Ordered inside and they brought it out to the car to us as soon as the food was ready. Again, very friendly staff. I would definitely recommend as well as go again next time I am in the area! read more

Pros: Great bar food. The Chub burger as definitely on my top burgers in Alabama list. We got a side of onion strings that were great. Cons: The place was nasty, borderline unhealthy. The unisex bathroom reeked of piss and everything was dirty from the sink to the doorknob. Our table was not clean and the salt and pepper shakers were crusted up with dust and greasy/sticky fingerprints. We tried some from another table, but it was the same. Conclusion: The food is great, but you should do carry out only. There is no way the staff can see the need to clean and not do it. They just choose not to. read more
