    Great atmosphere

    Food was delicious and the staff very friendly and helpful. Live music and a fun atmosphere to gather with friends or a romantic dinner.

    The "Pepp" flatbread.

    This place has only been open a couple of weeks. Already had a following. Great sports atmosphere. Food is not typical sport bar food. Definitely a high end menu at great prices. What a find on our first day of vacation. Warning, Eagles fans. They wear it on their sleeves!

    Had a delicious dinner here. The service was fast and the food was excellent. I can thoroughly recommend the street corn dip and slow roast.

    Slow service... food... just ok. It's nice inside, but had a strange smell the evening we were there.

    We were in Charleston visiting my son, and he has been telling me for years that Chubby Fish is the…read morebest food ever. I'll be honest, I was skeptical. I am not someone who waits in line for a reservation. I always joke that if Jesus Christ is at the end of the line, I'm still not waiting. So... we paid someone to stand in line for us. The place itself is adorable. Small, intimate, and full of charm. I was a little thrown off that the only drink options are beer, wine, or water. Two people in our party don't drink, so that felt like a miss. But then the food came. And I get it now. It was, without question, some of the best food I've had in a long time. We ordered a lot, and every single dish delivered. The caviar sliders were unbelievably good, buttery, salty, and indulgent in the best way. The tuna toast, fennel and celery salad, and ceviche were all standout, with the ceviche being especially memorable. The soft shell crab and tempura flounder were perfectly done. Even the gundi surprised me. And to finish, the "not fried" ice cream and banana pudding were just outstanding. Service was excellent, warm and attentive without being over the top. The whole experience felt special. Bottom line: I hate waiting in line, and I still wouldn't. But I am very glad we found a way around it. Totally worth it.

    This has been a difficult review for me to write after all the hype about it. I fell into that…read moremindset and kept telling my daughter in NYC she and her boyfriend just had to come. They are bougie as heck( only about food though) but they do travel globally just to try restaurants. So yes, we did hire the line stander which was definitely worth it. Got in and was seated facing the wall( 4 seats) . Definitely not an ideal seating setup. I have done this seating before at Holman and Finch in Atlanta and nobody cared once we were chowing down. I would have eaten on the floor. Diner vibes. Our server Sara was excellent. Always checking on us and making great suggestions. I hope I don't forget any dishes. Small plates included tempura tile fish which was fried deliciously crispy but had a big ole greasy mouth feel. There were a few half sliced okra that were delicious, but for the price point a couple of whole fried okra would have been appreciated. I would have ordered a couple of bowls of just the okra had they been whole. The sauce on that plate was a head scratcher. Yellow and tasteless. The celery salad was a nice texture change but not very flavorful. We all ate a bite and that's it. The next was charred lamb ribs with Romesco which one person liked. Large plates were chili garlic , shrimp, jalapenos and rice. That was outstanding! Unfortunately I only got one. Let me tell you that I despise all this sharing mentality. Let me order what I want and if I want to offer you a taste, so be it. So I ordered this and got one shrimp. Whole founder was second best of the night. It could have had 2/3 less sauce on it . Not subtle whatsoever. The grouper would have been up there but it was so under ( the top of the dish was cold, bottom was warm) that it could not be eaten although everyone took a bite) it was a beautiful dish although the tomatoes weren't ripe and it was a bit salty. We unfortunately got two of those so there was alot of lost food there. Wines were great and the bar next door was fine except they had zero Chardonnay. When you are a bar and waiting even with a time, you should have at least had a wine that I liked. Bottom thought is that this restaurant is popular because of its perceived exclusivity. I fell for it. I won't again. So many better places. Why did I give it a 4? I really think 3.5, but I too feel social pressure at times. It could be that we just didn't have a good menu day. There wasn't one dish that I had pined for on line that was on the actual menu, so be aware of that.
