    Jalapeño burger (average: flat and slightly overcooked to my liking: give me medium rare so I get more juices/flavor)
    Andrew C.

    Chubby's is definitely your typical sports bar. Lots of TVs and an after spot for lots of local sports teams (mainly softball leagues now that summer here). They have some really good drinks-specials which is why: we went on a Monday night and had $2 you call it's. Decent draft list in general too with some ciders. Service was fast even with it being a little busier and our server was definitely friendly and on top of things. The food was alright, we shared some chubbalicious wings which is loaded boneless wings and that was delicious and then we both got burgers. The burgers were safe and average, I was hoping for a little bit more flavor. Definitely have had worse but definitely better out there.

    Bad food
    Travis M.

    The service was fantastic, great waitress, food came out quick. The food, however, was miserable. Cold, bland/flavorless cheese sticks. The worst fish on the Cod entree/fish & chips I have ever had, it was just a greasy mess. The cheese sticks, french fries, onion rings, chicken tenders, and fish entrée were just frozen, out of a bag, and fried terribly (grease bombs). Also, I don't know how anyone could make a french fry taste bad, but the cook here somehow figured out a way to do it. The only thing anybody liked was my wife's chicken and apple salad. Dine here at your own peril.

    Mushroom Swiss. I add cheddar.

    See all

What really stood out was the bartending -- not just the skill, but the passion. After hearing the bartender's take on the Old Fashioned, I let him make it his way -- and it might be one of the best I've had. Balanced, bold, and beautifully smooth. Two of my friends described what they were in the mood for, and the bartender crafted custom cocktails for each of them -- both drinks were spot on and had them raving the rest of the night. If you're in Grand Rapids and want a cocktail experience that goes beyond the ordinary, SidebarGR is a must. Expert mixology, great atmosphere, and personalized service that makes you feel like a regular -- even on your first visit.

To find the entrance, go down the stairs towards Big O's Pizza and instead of turning right, take a left and you will see Sidebar's subtle entrance. It's dim lit and quite cozy in there.

I really enjoyed the espresso martini from here. The drink was so smooth and had the perfect balance of flavors. Highly recommend. We only stayed for one drink but I would definitely come back for another sometime. The bartenders were also really kind and having a good time with everyone in there! Really loved the atmosphere and our experience while we were there.

Very well staffed and once a table was free they were busting it and setting up the next group. (Has been told a 30-45 min wait so it was on the lower end of the time given- which you can appreciate that). All that to say this place has TVs for Any and all watch parties for sporting events but also a quieter side if you're focused on company and dinner. Our server was in tune to our needs and stopped by enough even with how busy. And the food is amazing! It's why people stop in for great flavor and big portions at a decent value. We started with the cheesy bread sticks because it's just one of the best shareable appetizers that even our kids love: ranch or marinara dipped you can go wrong! My wifes shrimp fettuccini pasta was so delicious , the in house sauce was so rich and creamy. My chicken parmigiana was also tasty with a mix of flavors that came together.

Refills came when needed, and she was personable throughout our visit. In an industry where it is so hard to find good service workers, Monelli's has a gem in Samantha T!

It was a Sunday evening around 5:00 pm. There were only ten or so customers in the restaurant beside our group and we were told the pork and chicken entrees were "all sold out." Almost every single menu item had an up charge. For example, if you wanted your $16 burger with cheese, it was an extra $1 up charge. Bacon? That's $3. Avacado? Also $3. Or if you wanted to upgrade to fries instead of potato chips as a side, that's a $2 up charge. If you want a protein option for almost any of the main entrees, that was an extra $5-$7 up charge. I had a the burger special of the week; the Patty Melt. The burgers were very dry and overcooked, the rye bread toast was dry, and there was hardly any thousand island dressing. One of the kids in our group got the kids mac and cheese and I swear someone whipped up a box of Kraft in the kitchen and served it with some potato chips. For a $9 kids meal I expect better. And to make matters worse, there was something going on with the sewage system there when we visited. Our table was near the restrooms and you could smell an overwhelming odor of feces coming from the bathroom every time someone opened the door. The rest of the place seemed clean so hopefully that's an outlier issue. The waitstaff was polite and professional however service was quite slow. Our experience left so much to be desired.

Their happy hour is a great deal and I'd love to come back soon for that again. The salad was fresh and a big portion to share. The raw diced onion wasn't my favorite addition to the salad, but I did love the overall flavors. The savory cream cheese wontons were absolutely delicious - definitely very savory and crispy.
