2 sandwich combo smoked level
Ally M.

This place actually exceeded my expectations. I asked for a level above medium which ended up being "smoked". The spice was pretty tasty; spicy and with a lingering heat, but I was able to handle it. My son couldn't finish it though as it was too spicy for him. I also ordered a side of mac n cheese and it was pretty delicious I would say it's a must when I come back. The place was clean and they had music playing. Will be coming back

The Chubby Combo

4.5* If Cane's actually seasoned their chicken and didn't rely on their sauce to do the heavy lifting it'd be Chubby's. If the portions were worth the price you paid for them then Dave's would be Chubby's. Unlike Dave's you don't taste the food for the rest of the day. Chubby's perfectly seasons the food, but not to the point where it stays with you in an unpleasant way. This was my first time here and I didn't expect the portions to be as big as they were. My oldest kid ordered the double sandwich combo because we both assumed they'd be slider sized sandwiches, but they were two full sized sandwiches. I ordered the Chubby fries and everything was balanced perfectly. I was able to taste every aspect of plate individually, but they also came together perfectly. The coleslaw didn't overpower the sauce or the pickles. The chicken, which I ordered Chubby's spice, was also spicy but not overbearing. I could've handled a bit more spice so next time I'll go up another level. The fried pickles were an unexpected surprise. The batter was stayed on the pickle and didn't fall apart on contact. The pickle flavor was still very much present. The sauces were all very good as well. This is just a personal preference but the ranch was a little too runny for a dipping sauce. If it were to go on a salad the consistency would be perfect. But as a dipping sauce I would have preferred it a bit thicker. The cheese sauce was a low key banger. I didn't order it but we got some put in our bag. The cheese was a perfect accompaniment for the fries. The restaurant itself was spacious and clean. The music choices of the day were an 80's fan dream come true. First time here, won't be the last.

The chicken sandwich at Hot level was just perfect,very juicy and crunchy. The service was fast and friendly. This place is a hidden Gem. I'm glad I was nearby and stumbled across this place. I'm definitely coming back and bringing friends. If you live in Fontana and you are going anywhere but here for your chicken sandwich. I need to put you up on game. This is your new place to come for a chicken sandwich or tenders. If you get hot level and add some honey too it . Come give this place your business. You will not be disappointed.

4/3- Dine in visit Restaurant is super clean and staff was super friendly and very sweet . Ordered a bunch of things We saw in social media !! Overall, food came out super quick and hot and everything was extremely flavorful . Chicken was nice and savory and hot and crispy and fresh and tender. All the items I ordered was amazing and I really liked the spicy cheese sauce drizzle over the fries and dipped in the chicken sandwich. All the HYPE on all social media platforms is spot on . This place is a must over Dave's got chicken straight up .

Food was great, Spicy but good. Not salty. Love the combo of chicken and coleslaw. Service was fast and friendly. Not shy in giving their sauce. Place has the industrial look. Pretty clean, even the bathroom was clean.

Chubby's Hot Chicken If you're craving Nashville hot chicken in Fontana... RUN, don't walk ‍ Their chicken is insanely juicy and they've got 8 spice levels -- from no heat to their spiciest level, Chubby's Revenge ‍ (not for the weak lol). Everything is house-made even the sauces -- you can really taste the difference. The nacho cheese had a little kick and the ranch was super fresh Mac & cheese was solid comfort food too I tried the mild spice and it was the PERFECT amount of heat for me Paired it with fries , a chicken sandwich , and tenders -- no misses. And the coleslaw on the chicken fries?? Chef's kiss ‍ Not overly sweet, so it balanced the heat from the tenders so well 10/10 would go back If you love juicy chicken + customizable spice levels, this spot is a must-try

LOADED FRIES !
Marcus J.

At the top of the hot chicken game!! From the chicken sandwich to the tenders to the loaded fries. The house sauce is incredible and way different than anybody else's, they use more than just the hot seasoning, and the slaw is crazy good. Be careful if you plan on trying the Revenge Tender... that almost took me out LOL. Chubby's got the game on lock !

My husband and I recently stopped into Chubby's Hot Chicken for the first time after seeing some videos on social media about them. Definitely a solid spot for some hot chicken in Fontana. We came in on a weekday around dinner and they were pretty empty. Staff were friendly and patient with our questions. Service overall was efficient and the wait time for our food was low since there weren't a lot of diners at the time of our visit. The establishment overall also seemed to be clean and well-maintained. We were pleased with our meal. Our order consisted of a Mild #1 (two sandwiches and fries) and a Lite #4 (two tenders and fries). The chicken was tasty on both combos: fried crispy and juicy on the inside. Definitely good size pieces in the sandwiches and tender combos. The only gripe we have is that the spice level seemed to be off. The tenders were ordered to be 'lite' spice, but there was honestly no difference between that spice level and the 'mild' spice level in the sandwiches. I have a pretty low tolerance for spicy food and can handle a little kick. I could barely finish the two tenders and had to give most of the second one to my husband. Pricing seemed to be competitive with other hot chicken spots in the area. Other than the spice discrepancy, we were pleased overall with our first experience at Chubby's Hot Chicken. We would definitely return again in the future if we found ourselves in the area.

As a huge spice lover, chubby's hot chicken beyond exceeded my expectations. Their iconic chicken sandwiches and tenders have 8 spice levels to choose from, ranging from no heat to chubby's revenge. We both got their #2 combo, which came with 1 sandwich, 1 tender, and fries, and we also upgraded one of our combos to their chubby fries, which come loaded with sauce, chicken, slaw, and pickles. We got the highest spice level on our tender, which contained Carolina reaper, and wow it really did not play around with heat. This was very spicy, and this is coming from a person who's always pretty skeptical about advertised spice levels. The chicken sandwich was so good, we got the next highest spice level which contains ghost pepper, and the chicken was so juicy, and the coleslaw and their house sauce balance the spice out perfectly. The fries were seasoned and fried to perfection, very addicting. Lastly, their loaded chubby fries was also so flavorful. The fries remained crispy even underneath all of the sauce. We left feeling so full and will definitely be back again to satisfy our spicy chicken craving. Service was fantastic, they helped us out with ordering! Very clean inside, great vibes to chow down a good hot chicken meal :)

I was skeptical of the high ratings but I like their chicken. The chicken tender was good. The burger was also good but the chicken becomes soggy with the cole slaw and pickles in it. Id come back for the chicken tender and the delicious fries with thousand island sauce. They were well seasoned. I was not into their mac & cheese as it tasted like Kraft cheese and it was too mushy. Something was missing. I tried their $2 dollar spicy cheese sauce and it tasted like spicy nacho cheese. It had a kick but I had no desire to finish this. The chicken was nice and hot when I ate it there. It was crispy outside, soft inside, and very spicy after taste. I had the Hot flavor and the Crying flavor. Crying made my nose cry. I will have to try one below a Hot next time for reference. Its all seasoning but at least it did not give me a tummy ache like Howling Rays. The soda drink helped cool down the spice.

ADDICTED TO THIS CHUBBY! One local chicken place in Fontana that beats the competition black, purple, and blue. Against my strict diet, I find myself coming here to get an amazing cheat meal. I've tried all of their flavors and they are all winners. My go to is the Chubby Fries. The service is always, and sincerely... ALWAYS friendly and courteous. I like the casual ambiance which is welcoming. Not to mention, there is a great liquor store next door to grab a drink after picking up a to-go order.

Crispy juicy chicken and the sauces were delicious. Very much a great alternative two places like Dave's hot chicken.

Smoke level. Not very spicy, but very tasty and enjoyable!

The Chicken Shop is one of my favorite places to get wraps. The standout here is easily the OG…read moreWrap. It's always nicely toasted and has a good amount of chicken. I then douse it with the chili garlic sauce, which I think is a must have; however, there is still garlic inside the wrap, so you may smell like garlic for the rest of the day. If you are looking for a solid wrap that never disappoints, this place is a dependable option. The workers are also very nice and welcoming. Pro Tip: It gets busy during peak meal times, so order ahead online to skip the wait.

There are plenty of seats outside with some shade, but only a handful of tables inside. It's in a plaza with various other shops, so parking is very accessible. Food didn't take too long, I think we got our food after 10 minutes or so of waiting. Honestly the presentation is solid. I got The Bowl Bowl, and my friends ordered the chicken wrap, Newport Bowl, and we shared Za'atar and sweet potato fries. The bowls came with a citrus sauce, but we had to order extra garlic and chili sauce on the side for the wrap and fries. The fries with sauce were honestly sooo good. The sweet potato fries had this amazing soft texture and it melted in your mouth, the sweetness paired nicely with the sharp garlic sauce. The Za'atar fries were well seasoned and had a nice crisp. They give you a good amount for the price! I personally enjoyed The Bowl Bowl, the quinoa mixed with fresh corn, big chunks of sweet potato (I think they would have been better cut smaller), avocado, their grilled chicken, and chips. I mixed it with the sauce and additional toum and thought it was a perfect post-workout bowl. Hefty, nutritious, and good for the cost ($15). I tried a bit of the Newport Bowl and it was basically a regular salad bowl, nothing special and in my opinion - not worth the price. You're better off trying a more varied bowl or wrap. The chicken wrap was fine, there were some pickled veggies that added a good crunch. The main reason why I'm hesitant to come here again (besides the fries) is that the chicken was quite dry in all of these dishes, and it didn't really have a prominent char or flavor/smell that would indicate it's been charcoal grilled. I do want to try this place again when it's not as busy, basically to see if the chicken quality holds up to other reviews.

I was in the area to pickup some xmas presents and was looking for dinner before heading back home…read more Found this spot with high ratings and korean fried chicken near me. Many places now are charging like $2/wing so I wanted to see how theirs was priced at $11.99 for 8 wings with an order of fries! I realize I should have paid the upcharge for flavored wings as the basic wings since the original wings were plain. (I guess I should have known, I was expecting more of a house special seasoning of sorts) I was given ranch and ketchup so I wasn't completely up a creek. The fries were actually also very solid, not plain fries but seasoned. When I called it in, I could tell it was legitimate Korean owned by the accent and was greeted by the friendly owner when I went to pick up. Place was really clean but empty on a Wednesday night. GO VISIT THIS PLACE! Totally worth a try. Keep this mom and pop place open to serve the community authentic korean quality eats!

The family and I have been long time customers since the previous location and we're honestly soo glad Chimaek has their own spot now! The menu is more extensive and haven't been let down yet. Once they've get the okay from the city for the alcohol license, this spot will be poppin'. Still, go anyways. Service is great! I went with the fried wings, I'm surprised I ate the them all! The parents got the tenders and boneless nugs, loved them. My sister loved the bulgogi beef. Music switches between KPOP and KRNB depending on the day you go. KPOP videos play on one screen while sports play on the other. There's also a tiny gacha section when you first walk in. Parking is located behind the building.
