Way back before In-n-Out moved to town, when the Habit was way across town an not accessible by bicycle - way before e-bikes - there was one spot to get the best, juiciest burger in town. In fact they had to put it in a brown paper back so people wouldn't rob you on the way out. You'd get that greasy bag home, or at least down the block, open it up with the steam hitting your face, and go to town on that bad boy and some of the best fries around. So I urge you to try this sometime - skip the massive line and the crowds, head on over to De La Vina, and hit up Chubbies. You will thank me. The end. read more

Craving a classic dirty burger, then this is your place! We got mesmerized by our food and forgot to snap photos until after it was all gone. Feed your youth and cravings here :) read more

A nostalgic stable on De Le Vina that consistently serves up amazing food for stellar deals. Their chubbie combo has always been my go-to. Double patty, cheese, with all of the fixings you want. It comes with fries and a soda OR a milkshake if you want to pay an extra few dollars. They do charge for side ranch dressing but I've always made sure to get a couple because it's liquid gold! If you're trying to support local while enjoying quality food, this is your spot! read more

We had a double burger combo And a chicken sandwich. The prices are very reasonable. The food is high quality. The burger was very tasty. Chicken sandwich very tasty.. Fries were hot and crispy. The place itself could use some sprucing up. No doubt the food is the star here. The ladies behind the counter were working hard and seemed happy. Happy workers produce a better product. It might even be their joint. I don't know. Btw I had a strawberry shake that was extremely excellent! read more

Very good hamburgers. Would certainly return WITH my husband. He loved the cheeseburger I brought home for him.

A classic staple in SB for burgers. Their burgers are so tasty and made right on the spot! They have a classic menu and great shakes. Their food is made just right. The young man working the register is not very friendly and can have a bit of an attitude which is the reason for my 3 star rating. Otherwise it would be a solid 5. If you don't want to deal with customer service you can place an online order. They have seating inside and outside but it can get busy during lunch. read more

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, ok? Not enough, good chow. Would eat theee again without hesitation. Parking sucks, Boo on daily grind for not sharing their parking read more

Nothing beats this classic burger joint when your looking for a hole-in-the-wall, grill-cooked, melty-cheese, nostalgia-inducing burger. My family has been coming here for years and plan to keep coming back for years to come. Go with the cheeseburger or Chubbie (double cheeseburger) and get the grilled onions. Standard burger toppings are mayonnaise, lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles. Everything is made fresh after you order it. Including the fries. They don't drop them in the frying oil until you order them so they come out hot with your burger. This place really hits the spot! read more

My wife and I were craving a burger when we came across Chubbies on yelp. We were happy we found it! I had the Chubbies combo which is a double cheeseburger and my wife had the cheeseburger combo. Burger tasted great! Classic American burger, patty size was great and the fries also tasted great. Also forgot to mention that a double cheeseburger combo with fries and a drink only $10.45! Don't remember the last time I paid that much for a combo. Restaurant has parking in the back. The restaurant has seating both inside and on their front patio. Service was good, our food came out quickly. If you're in the area. I highly recommend. read more

I really love chubbies, the burgers are some of the very best in town. The only thing is the service, the young lady who seems to always be there ALWAYS has a terrible attitude. I've gone in multiple times and have had the same experience with her. Looking at other reviews, others have had a bad experience as well most likely with the same employee. Hopefully this problem can be addressed because it really makes the trip unwelcoming. read more

After purveying all the burger spots around town - Chubbie's hits all the points in my book. Affordable, hot burgers, and good fries. Their milk shake is also super thick and way better than a McDonald's or In n Out's. Their burgers are better than Habit now too. I only go here now to satisfy my burger craving at a good price :) and stop at in n out if it's really late night since Chubbie's does close early at 8pm. Ask for a side of jalapeños to spice it up! And you can request both grilled and raw onions too. read more

Classic cheeseburger and fries joint. Good value for the cost. Food is good. Ample indoor and outdoor seating. Parking is limited.

No frills burger joint that's been around a long time. Don't park at the Daily Grind next door or you might get towed! Easy online ordering system with no extra fees. Menu is basic: burger, chicken burger, veggie burger, fries, and shakes. Prices are excellent. Food is cooked fresh (both the burgers and fries) so no heat lamps or eating food made earlier that day. Very friendly staff when we went. Burgers and fries were both tasty (got the fries extra crispy). If you're looking for an inexpensive, tasty burger joint, check this place out! read more

It's a hole in the wall, not really a sit down place. The service is not good at all but, the food is really good.

The best burger place in town with friendly, hard working gals! Nothing beats a Chubbie combo with a chocolate shake! read more

Great place! Quality food and food staff. Burgers and fries good!!! Shakes good too. Happy with it.

So glad this place is still in business after so long. Will always stop by to grab a burger and a shake to reminisce about old times! Small hole in the wall, but it has its local town charm still. Used to be known as a strong local rival to in-n-out! Haha! I think the shakes here are superior by miles to in-n-out. read more

This is the best burger place in town and you can't change my mind. It's like in and out but better! It is way better than that window place that opened downtown. I tried it and it made me regret not going to chubbies instead that day lol the service is always nice and quick and the burgers always hit! read more

The food was very good. The dining area was very clean. I will be back again with my family

Great value. Great taste. Just great. First time here in years and second time ever. I forgot how good their chicken sandwich is (they call it a chicken burger but it's not on a burger bun, although you can ask for that). Grilled onions are excellent in the chicken burger. I swear it's like stepping into a Time Machine and going back 5 years to when prices were reasonable. With cheese added, my chicken burger was less than $8. This might be the best deal in town. Before tax it was like $6.75. That's unheard of in 2023. Really sounds like a 2018 price to me. Einstein would agree- time travel. That's the only explanation! Ate my burger so fast I didn't take any pictures. It's not the most photogenic food anyways, but oh man, is it delicious! They were not very busy and it was about a 15 minute wait from ordering to receiving my food, but they have a nice moonlit outside patio where I waited. I call it moonlit because there isn't actually any outside lighting. But it's fine. Place was very clean. Will definitely be back to this time traveling gem. read more

I got kinda chubby cuz of how good the food was. Good fast service. Was pretty fast and had a busy work day vibe. Yea

The service from the ladies behind the counter was amazing. Everything looked clean and the food looked very fresh. The prices were very reasonable especially for being in California. I enjoyed it so well the very time I came back the next day for a encore read more

At least once a month, sometimes way more. Epic burgers, good service. I think chubbies blows in n out and habit away. My only negative, parking can be tough, but not terrible read more

I just waited 30 minutes for a burger combo. They never put the order in and I walked out because I couldn't wait any longer. Money just gone to waste. read more

I got a cheeseburger with everything on it. It was to go. Flavor wise... Nothing stood out It reminded me of McDonald's. Is this good or bad? Depends if you consider price? Anyways....What I did like was the toasty buns It was toasted to perfection. read more

Best hamburgers ever!!! Buns warm & never soggy. Veggies on burgers fresh & crisp. Patty juicy & flavorful. Extremely tasty, warm & full!!! Definitely best burger anywhere - a must have!!!! read more

So bomb! Better than the habit and in and out hands down! I would choose this place every time!

Whole in the all burger spots are my thing and I would consider myself pretty picky. Realized SB is more of a sleepy town and places close down around 8 so luckily I looked this place up and got there 20 mins before closing. Ordered 4 cheese burgers with 3 orders of fries and man I messed up. The "chubbie" burger is a double double and I just got the basic a** single but it was legit. I would have ordered the chubbie but they were closing and I didn't want to be "that" customer. Only thing McDonald's has is their fries and this place is pretty damn close to fresh McDonald's fries. They were smack in and my kids and wife were smashing them. Highly recommend and will for sure revisit when we pass through again. read more

Best burger in town!! Always consistent. It's a quality burger with fresh ingredients. The lettuce is always so crunchy. Great fries too.

Pretty good old yellow paper burger, decent price & fries were really good. Worth a stop if you in the area read more

The burgers are delicious but customer service is horrible. I went in and some dude with straight hair up to his eyes was at the register, didn't even bother to say hello and had the worst smug attitude, the tone of his voice was horrible. He needs to be trained. Will not need coming back. read more

Decent burgers for the locals of the area :) I was recommended this place by a friend who said "it's a local favorite." I was also told it was comparable to the habit (or the what my friend said was the original Habit in Goleta, Cal Taco). I ordered a big chubbie burger and a cheese burger. Both were good in their own way. The big chubbie was the size of a double double or a double char burger. No grilled onions though. The cheeseburger had grilled onions and no pickles. I enjoyed them both, but in the end, I probably wouldn't go back. They sent the correct order, but presentation and flavor just seemed to be... acceptable. It takes me back to the hole in the wall joints that you hope would be amazing bc they aren't large chains, but in this case, they make an average burger that tastes good, but definitely not "mind blowing" good. I definitely enjoy venturing out to find a hidden gem in different cities ;) Thanks for the good burger lol. Hopefully the future will provide some idea to make a chubbie burger unique from all the other burgers in town. P.s. when ordering on the door dash app, there was an option for "chicken shake" I wonder if this was a typo of for real :) I'd rather let someone find out if it was chicken flavored or chocolate flavored :) read more

I was craving a burger. Tasty burger and crispy fries. Signage could be upgraded. Like that it is a local business.

Still delicious. I love going to Chubbies for a great burger and to support a local business. Simple and small menu but there's something for everyone to enjoy! read more

Chubbies Hamburgers - Updated menu and prices June 2023 - Burgers Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

Certainly! Here's a revised version of your post: "Throughout my childhood, this place held a special spot in my heart, being a go-to destination for quality time with family and friends. Whether it was dining in or grabbing takeout for a relaxing meal at SBHS or up in Gibraltar, this spot was our cherished retreat. However, it's disheartening to see that the quality has declined over time. Incorrect orders and poorly prepared food have become disappointingly common occurrences. To add to this, last week, there was no ranch available. This may seem like a small detail, but it's an essential condiment that perfectly complements our fries and burgers, and its absence was and is truly frustrating." So if you coming to eat expect no Ranch and also check your orders before leaving location otherwise you'll be home upset to get the wrong thing or offer was made wrong .. I hope they get their ****** together read more

I remember when Chubbies first opened(!) A Santa Barbara mainstay for many, many years, it's a small, old-school no-nonsense burger joint with great quality food and a small dine-in area. Menu options are simple and straight forward, single and double cheeseburgers, fries, shakes and sodas. Ordering online is fast and easy. Food is made to order and has always been hot and fresh at pickup. I'll take our local Habit or Chubbies any day over the absurd lines at In-N-Out. I also think both have more flavor than In-N-Out. Chubbies is a fried patty vs. Habit's char-broil, but I find they are comparable in terms of overall enjoyment and freshness. Chubbies fries are skinny but taste much fresher and crispier than McDonalds. Shakes are certified "best since Fosters Freeze" by my son. Prices are great too - you can't lose with Chubbies! read more
