    Having already been a fan of their Santa Barbara location, I was super stoked to hear they were opening their first Ventura County spot at the Pacific View Mall. They're currently in their soft opening phase, so you know I had to check them out! Walking in, it's a nice casual spot and super easy to access since they're right outside the mall on the corner. I stopped by for a late lunch and got there before the rush, which was perfect. The staff were friendly and welcoming, just all around good vibes. I was also impressed with how big the menu is. This isn't just a hot dog spot as they've got melts, burgers, and plenty of sides for sharing. I kept it simple and went with a bacon wrapped hot dog with all the sauces (ketchup, mustard, mayo). Let me be straightforward with you...THIS IS A SOLID HOT DOG. No frills, just delicious. The bun was soft but grilled, the hot dog juicy, and the bacon crispy, so just a really good hotdog. If you're feeling more adventurous, they've got some fun and unique topping combos too. I'll definitely be back to try those next time. I paired mine with extra crispy hash browns and a fresh lemonade which honestly was the perfect combo. Also, quick note: they've got that good ranch...iykyk.

    Slightly embarrassed to say it took me this long to check out Mr. Chubby but so glad I finally did!…read moreI don't typically spend a lot of time near the avenue so I am not super familiar with the restaurants around here, other than the fantastic Love Well, which Mr. Chubby happens to be right next door to! I had to find a spot for a quick lunch in the area today and Mr. Chubby appeared at the top of the list! As I walked in, I was pleased to see a large and easy to navigate menu of the different options. With options for smashburgers, fries, and pattymelts, I quickly decided I would be getting a smashburger combo. Although I am not typically a big bacon person, I was intrigued by the dollar discount offered on the bacon jam smash combo, at $12 that price felt quite reasonable and I also opted to add arugula for an extra 25 cents. The cashier was very friendly and happy to answer any questions I had. He also provided me with a sample of the fresh Agua de Jamaica (hibiscuis iced tea) which was so delicious and I was excited to have this as a drink option, as I do not drink sodas. I took a seat outside at one of the tables, which I will admit are a little bit rickety - they could benefit from some more sturdy tables/chairs without slats in them but they did the job. I enjoyed having the beautiful view of the hills to look at and my order came out quickly. I was immediately impressed with the portion of fries and what appeared to be a beautiful looking burger. I have had some pretty negative smashburger experiences in the area, so it was an absolute delight to pick up this burger and not have the bun be soggy or falling apart - the bun was fluffy, not soggy at all, and did a great job at holding everything together. The ingredients were all incredibly fresh tasting and flavorful and I really enjoyed the bacon jam, even though I don't typically like bacon. It had grilled onions in it and also did not overpower the flavor of the burger. I was also glad that this burger was not overly salty, as has been my experience with some other smashburgers. The fries were also very tasty. I managed to finish everything and was very full after - definitely come hungry! Cannot wait to come back here again and will definitely be recommending Mr. Chubby as the smashburger king of Ventura! Parking can be a bit difficult in the area, depending on the time you come. You may find a spot nearby very quickly or you may have to circle around a bit. Today I was lucky to find a spot right away on the ave.

    We enjoyed it here. It was a group of 7 and all of us basically finished all our food. Love that…read morethey put Arugula on the burger. We will be back and enjoyed it very much.
