Chubby Skewers - Barbeque Near Me - Flushing, New York

This place is so great when going out with friends. The amount of food you get with the prices is top tier!

This was my first time at Chubby Skewers and they've made a lifelong fan out of me ! When you walk in you get to pick out your selection of meats, seafood, and veggies. Everything is cooked on skewers at the table, such a fun date spot or get together with friends. It gives traditional KBBQ a run for its money, and I actually prefer it to the open grill at Kbbq restaurants. My partner and I shared a Peach Soju Beer Pitcher between us and managed to eat over 50 skewers The food was flavorful, fresh and the restaurant was very clean and sanitary. Staff is very attentive, walking around checking on guests, refilling waters and they even keep an eye on your skewers in case you've left them on too long! 100% will be back and will recommend to anyone in Flushing Queens :) read more

Chubby Skewers in Flushing offers a fun and interactive take on Chinese BBQ, built around the experience of grilling skewers at the table. We walked into a casual, energetic space that works especially well for groups, where you can spend time cooking, sharing food, and enjoying the meal together rather than rushing through a quick meal. The layout encourages lingering, with low tables and grill setups that make the meal feel more like a social gathering than a typical restaurant stop. The menu focuses on a wide variety of skewers, including beef, lamb, seafood, and wagyu options. The wagyu skewers are one of the highlights, with rich flavor and a satisfying texture that justifies the slightly higher price point, while the lamb skewers are another strong choice with a good balance of seasoning and char. Some skewers are better than others depending on personal preference, but the overall quality is solid for the price, especially with the amount of variety available. The cucumber salad is also a nice addition, adding a refreshing contrast to the grilled dishes and helping to cut through the richness of the meats. The service helps make the experience smoother, especially for first-time visitors. The staff is friendly and explains how the grilling process works, which makes it easy to enjoy even if you are unfamiliar with this style of BBQ. The self-grilling setup adds a fun element and makes the meal feel more interactive, letting you control the heat and timing to get each skewer exactly how you like it. The team checks in regularly to ensure the grill is working properly and the meal stays on track. Chubby Skewers is a great casual spot for affordable Chinese BBQ with friends. It is not just about the food itself, but also the experience of sitting together, grilling skewers, and trying different flavors in one meal. The portions are generous for the price, and the variety across the menu makes it easy to keep ordering new items throughout the evening. read more

I loved the outside bbq area, it feels like you're having a summer bbq and the tv is great for watching games. My husband and I happened to come during the night of a Knicks game and we had a great time bbq'ing while watching TV. In terms of price to value, I felt like it's a little on the higher side. You get 3 small pieces of meat for $1.40, and some of the skewers cost double that price for more expensive items like abalone and more hefty skewers. We came at like 10 pm for a late night snack and ended up spending around $30 per person but I think you can definitely get your money's worth at an AYCE kbbq place instead. It's a nice dinner idea if you're not super hungry and you want to snack on some tasty meat. You also get charged a fee to use their spices to flavor the meat. The skewers were all fresh and good quality overall. You can also order extra items on their iPad if you're interested in sides, dessert, etc. read more

The skewers were delicious but they're small so that I can try more of them at once. Selecting the skewers is self-serve and is divided into categories. I enjoyed the meat skewers the most and the seasonings offered elevated the taste of them. I can tell the meat is high quality since I can taste the richness and the marbling of some meats. Beware that it's not all-you-can-eat so it's pay by skewer with some skewers costing more. The sweet and sour pork could be a little less sweet and have bell peppers since it tasted more like Korean honey butter chicken, and the spicy potato sticks were also on the sweeter side. Despite that, I recommend this place if you're in the mood for Chinese skewers. read more

Not only is the food delicious but it's also such a fun experience. They have a pretty good variety of veggies and meat and I love the seasonings they offer on the side. We even got a few hot dishes that were also great. The molten tofu was slightly spicy and super flavorful while still retaining the taste of tofu, and I loved the seasoning they put on top. The foil wrapped enoki mushroom was juicy and also flavorful. I've never had skewered brussel sprouts before but it was an unexpected favorite for me as well as other people in my group. The grilled pineapple was also a group favorite. Can't wait to come back again. read more

I came here for lunch on 5/15/2026. I like the concept of grilling your own food on skewers. Each skewer is $1.40, and the selection of meats and vegetables was abundant. While solo dining, I selected the lean wagyu, black pepper wagyu, brisket, magra fresh lamb, crawfish, cuttlefish balls, and pork belly with kimchi. Most skewers had skimpy portions of food! My primary server, Tommy, was attentive and accommodating. He provided me a fork when he saw me struggling with chopsticks. He also informed me that only dry seasoning is up for customer grabs. Customers must ask the servers to retrieve the wet ones, e.g., lemon, sesame oil, soy sauce, etc., from the kitchen. Tommy gave me some free lychees for dessert. I appreciated that because they are one of my favorite fruits. I also sampled some mango custard--delightful. Kay and Lucas took turns cleaning off my table. The ambiance says "restaurant walk up". Customers must climb steep stairs to reach the restaurant, so skip this restaurant if you are in poor shape. The restrooms are fairly clean, and the vibe is Instagram worthy. Chubb Skewers is worth a try! I had a good meal! 3.5 stars/5-rounded off to 4. read more

Skewers are $1.40 for non-member. Some of them are $2.80, such as chicken wings. Members are $1, but it is $50 per year membership with free skewers. Skewers are flavorable. I like the beef tribe, new orkeans chicken wing. The lamb skewers are more like skinny skewers. Scallop with vermicelli is tasty. We got 6 for $21. It is $4 if you order 1. Thats why we ordered 6. Shrimp balls are also good. It is crispy. It looks like lychee. You can skip the eggplant. I had better. Live music, and they gave out free flowers for Mothers Day. In the end, you get to pick a prize. My wife got the $25 gift certificate. The waitress was very happy when my wife drew the $25 gift certificate. I guess that's the big prize they were talking about. We spent about $125 including tips for 2 people. read more

I believe they have another location in the city but I came to this location in flushing on a weekend afternoon and was able to be seated right away. This is a pay per skewer place and just a heads up THEY ARE SMALL. They're cheap but for a reason lol. You could easily rack up $50+ worth of skewers alone (2 ppl). They were good though and you're able to season them yourself as well. We also had some sides (wagyu fried rice & stir fried instant noodles) which were both good as well. Overall a good spot but I wish the portions were bigger /: read more

The reason for 1 star because, one of the skewers the meat was sour .. i think it's pork one. If you cannot tolerate rotten meat you can stop reading the rest of what i wrote. After entering the store you'll need to climb the long staircase, it's not seniors friendly. Because it's a rainy day, a girl almost fall down from going down the staircase. On a Saturday night waiting time was about 40mins. Service is good, nice people. Live music available we came on Saturday night, the singers are good however if u were like us being sat next to the singers, it's gonna be sooooo loud. Here's the break down for food we tried: (it's bite size skewers) - Chicken wings is good (spicy one) - pineapple is good only of you cook it over 10 minutes sprinkle some sugar on it - corn is good 糯糯的 - abolone is ok like the one in a can - eel is good but don't like their marinade , very tiny piece - chick feet is ok something different after eating a lot of meat - chicken heart is not fresh - baby squid is not fresh and mushy - broccoli was yellowish( didn't get that) - fish balls is typical fishball like those in hmart, i like bbq fishball - beef tripes is good -beef tongue - very hard to chew not the best part - Australia lamb is tough - all beef are not good quality beef , beef neck meat were so hard to chew, throw it out. - bacon wrap mushroom is good , make sure pick the fresh one, some of them in the tray looks gray - shrimp is good - crawlfish is ok - duck tongue is ok - mini scallops is good -side order fish skin very good Alcohol & drinks are available, cheaper if one of you in the party join membership they'll calculate for you., then you'll get free can leychee dessert. Pineapple beer is good. In conclusion: most meat they are bland even though some are already marinated. Because we had tasted sour meat (pork), rinsed my mouth with alcohol. Idk if we gonna get sick the next day ... So .. I'm sorry to give 1 star, my mind can't get off the sour meat i tasted. Just feel unsafe to come back again. Personally now I'll prefer just go to Korean bbq. Personally read more

Came here for a birthday dinner with a friend on Saturday night. Picked this place based on the high reviews, we signed up at the front (upstairs, there's a tablet), we waited for about 30-40min. There's 3-4 chairs directly beneath the stairs leading up to the restaurant on second floor (stairway is very long, this place may not be wheelchair accessible, I didn't see any elevators). We got seated outside which had some nearby heaters. Decoration felt like outdoor camping vibe with lots of flames everywhere. The server got us water upon seating and explained that the seasonings at the table is free but if we want the seasoning nearby the skewer place is extra fee. This is the first time I've heard of charging extra for seasoning...and it's not really cheap either. Skewers selections has a wide range of meats, vegetables is pretty underwhelming. Skewers themselves doesn't have a lot of meat on them considering they're around $1.35 or something...some that has 2 skewers through meats are more expensive. I was pretty disappointed with every skewers TBH: 1) portion is super small 2) tasteless 3) doesn't taste very fresh 3) you cook it yourself 4) can't even enhance the flavor because the "free condiments" are limiting and the actual one that may help is extra $. What really killed it for me was when I tried the squid. It's whole baby squid with eyes, teeth and innards intact. Not cleaned at all. When I bit into it, all the guts came out and was extremely fishy. I don't think a restaurant should be serving squid that hasn't been properly cleaned. Not OK. The total came out to be $100+. We had also ordered some side dishes such as the preserved egg with tofu which wasn't too bad. Overall impression: - decoration: great, that's probably where the restaurant is putting most of its efforts in - service: above average, server was attentive but customers are really just servicing themselves lol - food: very poor - price: does not make sense, especially charging for the condiment that might actually save the flavorless skewers. I think the business model leans into hype and membership for Gen Z group that wants to post to Tik Tok or social media. if you're an actual foodie who wants good food, I'd skip this. read more

Stumbled in randomly for skewers - a little disappointed that these didn't rotate automatically. Wait staff are super attentive at clearing plates and refilling water. The skewers selection is good, definitely lots to choose from, ranging from different parts of meats too. The skewers match the price $1.30, so it's nice to just get some to try, but my party definitely walked out hungry for a more fulfilling meal haha. But I think it's great for a late night snack spot to hangout, talk, and eat just a little bit, especially since it does take a little while for the meat to get that smoky taste. read more

Atmosphere was really cute and the decor was fun. Selections of skewers were plenty and we enjoyed everything we got. Passion fruit beer was very good, liked it more than the pineapple beer. They seated us all the way on top at the end and it was very very hot and barely any ventilation. We left the place stinking. Wish they can fix the ventilation to enjoy eating more. They have an outdoor section for when it's warmer and excited to see that next time. Also if you don't want to cook for yourself you can have them use charcoal to do it in the kitchen. read more

They do have a very large selection of items to choose from, including seafood, vegetables, and even Wagyu. We went as a large group of four adults and four kids, and thanks to our friends having a membership discount, the bill was more manageable. Without that discount, the total would have been close to $500 including gratuities. The one thing that disappointed me a bit was the skewers themselves. Considering the name, I expected them to be a little more "chubby" or thicker, but they were actually fairly small. Overall, it's a fun social dining experience with lots of options, but the DIY cooking style and smaller skewers may not be for everyone. read more

If you cannot take the stairs or have a stroller, be aware that this location does NOT have elevators. I was able to carry my stroller up but going down I definitely needed friends to help me. If you have an elderly member who cannot walk up the stairs.. this isn't the place to go. Food wise, selection was alright. Felt the skewers were so not filling even after we ate a large amount. You're better off ordering off their menu if you actually want to leave with a full belly. Service was really good and staff were courteous and came by to fill our water pretty often. Live entertainment was alright too but space could be a little cramped. read more

This was my first time at the Flushing location and I always thought it was more spacious and lively than the one in Midtown and the quality was consistent. You can put yourself on the waitlist through Yelp on their iPad and luckily, I was there early enough to be the crowd. There is an outdoor seating which can get breezy but feels nice. The indoor seating seems to have live music which would've been amazing! Nevertheless, there were many skewer options available and the set up is easy. Spots like these are so great to just hang with friends over some drink and skewers. Their service was great too, very observant and quick. It can get pricey as things add up and perhaps a bit pricier than the neighborhood spots, but I think it's still a great experience and worth it! read more

I'm giving this restaurant 2 stars. The dining experience was uncomfortably hot due to poor AC, the grill design makes cooking the skewers take forever, and most of the beef unfortunately tasted and looked like liver. The saving grace was the service. Our waitress was fantastic and offered to grill our large order in the kitchen, saving us from a 5-hour dinner. The fries were also incredibly flavorful, tasting just like honey-soy Korean fried chicken. That said, my friends who have been to the Manhattan location confirmed it is much better across the board--the food cooks faster closer to the fire, the beef tastes normal, and the fries are even better. Skip this location and go to that one instead. read more

Solid and affordable skewer spot. A much better deal and quality than gaos or other sit down skewer spots in the area. I'm a chubby group fanboy but this spot also does have a tendency to overcharge, I had to go through the skewers with them to get it right, but they fixed it up eventually. Try the Wagyu, lamb and make sure to get a carb order since their portions or a bit small. If you get their membership which I highly recommend the skewers are discounted. read more

Amazing food with fun atmosphere. A great place for family gatherings. The service is great too.

It draws the crowd bc it's $1 per skewer with membership or $1.30 without membership. But the skewers were very skimpy. For our family of 4, we had about 50 skewers and were still very hungry in the end. They also make you pay $1 for the seasonings. It's a very bustling vibe but don't expect a hearty meal unless you order the side dishes and lots of skewers. read more

Really enjoyed the seasoning of the food! The live singers were talented, and the servers were attentive.

The meats and vegetables both taste fine. But the portions are very stingy. It's extremely important that you keep track of how many skewers you eat. Otherwise, they will overcharge you -- claim that you ate many more than you actually did. The tip screen also is deceptive. There are tip percentages, but the prices do not correspond to the percentages. That is, you're actually paying 25%, not 18%. The waiters were attentive. But, if you aren't careful, they will steal from you in the ways I described above. read more

Vivian's service is outstanding. Music is too loud to have a conversation with friends tho.

Service is good. food is good but I wish the skewers were has more volume to them. I feel like I go through a lot of skewers and I'm still not full. read more

Not a fan of this place at all. Their biggest advertising point is that the skewers are one dollar each. However, you need to get a special membership(subscription service) in order to get that price. Without it, its around 1.25. This might seem much cheaper than other skewer places around, but it comes at a steep cost. First, the skewers you get are not preseasoned. Half the flavor of the skewer comes from sprinking on the seasoning as it grills over the coals, but there's no dedicated chef to do so, you have to cook it yourself. This brings us to point 2. You have to cook the skewers by yourself. You place them on the roller, and slowly wait as they cook. However, this takes around 5-10 minutes, and the rack for holding the skewers is very small. Thus, if you have a big group, it will take a long time for everyone to cook/eat enough skewers, and get full. Another huge disadvantage of this is that you have to sit around the grill. This makes the table extremely hot, and they don't have any good services/tools to help cool you down. Finally, the skewers themselves are extremely small. While sure, it might be 1$ per skewer, they're also 1/4th the size of a skewer at any other real skewer place! Chubby group might be able to have fake hype and popularity by claiming they have wagyu this and that, but when it comes to Chinese BBQ, this business model falls flat. Stay away and go to a real skewer place, where not only is the food cheaper, it's also tastier and does not require being your own chef!! read more

Meat is super good and the price is unbeatable at $1.30 a skewer! Service is also really good as the serves are really attentive.
