It's my dudes bday. Took said dude to dinner at a restaurant we will leave unnamed. Now I need to redo bday dinner *They sat us in the room where larger parties are served... and there were larger parties. The restaurant was not packed and we could have sat in the main room. * In said room, the servers were sitting folding napkins and what not. Swearing loudly and acting like they were alone. Wouldn't generally bother me, but a family with kids was sat in there right after us. * I ordered a filet and Jeremy ordered a dinner and a salad and asked they be brought out together. Dinner went awol. My "filet" was definitely sirloin tips. I was also told the kitchen didn't know how to do anything other than medium. ‍ * by this time our server has devoted all her energy to her large party and basically forgot about us. She finally brought the check but then I had to wait forever for her to come back. I'll give it to them for speed of food. Not quality but definitely speed. This makes me sad because it used to be one of my favorite places read more

Delicious! There isn't anything I've been disappointed with on the menu. The calamari is especially a delightful treat!

The food was great and the service even better. I received a call today from them just checking in to ensure my party was satisfied with everything and to thank me for visiting. Who does that!?!? 100% recommend!! read more

Food was delicious! We had sushi, trout, walleye and a fish sandwich. Our waitress, Taylor, was great. Looking forward to eating here again.

Food. Was great! Got right in, a beautiful view of the lake. The food was outstanding !of course our waitress was wonderful also!!

After my first bad experience at the Chubb last year, I should have known better than to go back. I followed the crowd here because I hoped the Mrs Smiths would have been a little fresher this time. Now I'm shaking in bed and praying that the Moderna's got a little something extra to knock out whatever I ingested tonight. Next time it's salad, breadsticks and GobbaGool. read more

Chubby Trout - Sushi - Spicy Salmon & Captain Crunch - Seafood Near Me - Elkhart, Indiana

Went on a weeknight with my husband & the place was packed - a good sign. We were seated immediately & our friendly server took our drink order promptly. I ordered the smoked prime rib salad while my husband got the "camburger" with Swiss cheese which came with a side of fries. Our food came out within 10 minutes & our server checked on us several times during our meal. My husband's cheeseburger was very good as were the fries (I sampled both). My salad was delicious with fresh ingredients, delicious smoked meat & house made blue cheese dressing. The atmosphere in this restaurant is loud & you definitely know you're in a bar. read more

Tried for the first time week before Christmas as we are new to the area. Everything was delicious. Will definitely go again.

Food was extremely slow tonight. Unfortunately this guy was part of the problem as he had to flirt with every server that walked by and in some instances inappropriately touch. So Robbie, please keep your hands to yourself. And keep the chatter to a minimum so we can get our food faster. read more

Recently in Elkhart for a client dinner, we tried Chubby Trout and had a fantastic experience. The hostesses were welcoming and friendly and seated us promptly. Our server, Tanner orchestrated a wonderful experience for us. He was attentive, knowledgeable and efficient in meeting all of our needs. I most appreciated that he managed timing well so that the meal flowed seamlessly between appetizer, entree and dessert courses- this allowed us to have a great dining experience, but also to have the time and balance to talk through the business discussions necessary. I highly recommend dining at Chubby Trout- if you're in Elkhart ask for Tanner. read more

Great place to eat. We love the atmosphere and the staff. On first visit we had Megan and the second night we had Hannah. We never had to wait for anything, they were always right on the money with the service. They were AWESOME. The food was really good and they had great portions. You need to order a desert, our was incredible. We loved the beer and wine they served. Definitely a place to visit. Next time we are in the area, we will definitely stop here again. read more

Heard about chubby trout since our arrival in Elkhart and thought we would try it. Was not bad but definitely was not as impressed as the people who recommended it to us. It's a hodgepodge location. Name suggest seafood which they have plenty of but the decor and ambiance says yee haw. Not a lot of kid items either. Wife said her salmon was perfectly cooked and veggies fresh. read more

I had gotten their fish tacos... they were delicious! The fish was cooked perfectly and the bean and corn salsa that was on it was super tasty. It came with wasabi mayo on the side that had a kick that was a bit strong for me but it was nice to have the option to add a sauce onto the tacos. I also got their pub fries which were also amazing. Another thing I want to mention is that I got take out but I would say that their service was remarkable because they called me the next day to make sure that my food was enjoyable... I've never had a restaurant do that before but it's refreshing to know that this business cares about their customers! read more

Going into an eatery for the first time always brings with it a certain amount of uncertainty. The atmosphere that is presented to you when you enter can do a lot to remove some of that doubt. Although the Chubby Trout had been recommended to us, entering this outstanding food joint was one of the most welcoming experiences I have ever had. First the doors were held open for us by one of the staff, then you walk by cases full of fresh cuts of meat and seafood to gaze upon the portions you can expect. Our delightful server, Syna was at out table promptly not just to get our drink order, but to pleasantly chat with us, and when she discovered it was our first visit, find out what we liked to eat, and help with our selection. We were both looking for a meaty sandwich and chose the Prime Time to our great delight. A wonderful steak sandwich with gooey cheese and sweet peppers cooked just perfectly. The steak was so tender it melts in your mouth. Just before our order arrived we got a visit from the manager, Amanda. Syna, our server had informed Amanda it was our first visit and she rushed over to welcome us. That my friends is outstanding service. I only wish we were going to be in town longer, because the Chubby Trout has everything you want in an eatery, great atmosphere, superb service, and outstanding food. read more

Love this place. I go out of my way to stay at a nearby hotel just to come here. Hard to believe, but the Tuna here is amazing. The other dish I had had is also very good. They advertise the tuna is flown in everyday, and after having it multiple times, i believe it. Sushi is great as well, but get there early because it get busy and the sushi get backed up. read more

Taken 6 members of my team to lunch. Kitchen was slow to deliver food. When it was finally served, one lunch entree was wrong and some others were not hot. I ordered the Crispy Grouper sandwich. It was not hot, and it was not grouper; it appeared to be perch. I'll try again in a few months to give them another chance. read more

This restaurant was awesome. It has a wide selection. I was in Elkhart for work and ate here three times over my two week stay.

So I'm going to start by saying we love this place and we have been here many times. Food and service are always great and they have an awesome beer list. The sole reason for this negative review is that they dedicate one entire side of their menu to sushi yet can't produce it on a timely basis. This is the third time we have showed up early (today at 4:45) and ordered sushi. Only to be told that there will be a 45 minute to 1 hour wait because the chef that makes sushi is "on a break". The rest of the menu can be prepared by other cooks, but weirdly sushi can only be made by one person in the entire restaurant. That's unacceptable and a little crazy. You can't make people wait an hour for certain menu items because you haven't trained staff to make those items. If it's a chef control-thing then it might be time for the ownership to tell the primadonna that this situation isn't good for business. If not, then TRAIN some employees. Imagine if you were getting on a bus and were told it would be an hour wait for the bus to move because the driver was on a break. My guess is you would wonder why they don't have more than one driver??? Now here is the best part.....because of this nonsense the restaurant has created table placards that show the time your wait started (see the photo). That's CRAZY!!! Chubby Trout owners, either take sushi off the menu or fix this! We love this place but can't take this nonsense!! read more
