Local dive.. no frills, but a fun spot. The food is always good and the drinks are cold!

Waited here at a table for 15 minutes the bartender never came over so I walked up to order a drink, he put his hand up and told me to wait while Served 2 people who literally just walked in. If you wanna wait 20 minutes for one drink this is ur place :( terrible service read more

Do you miss the old time feel of a true old school bar? I do and Tubby's is the answer. I have come here, many times, when I have visited my brother. Tubby's has a great vib, good food, great drink prices and the bartender's are worth the price of free admission. read more

Poor customer service. Was never checked on and had to seek out the waitress to order food and drinks.

Great food! We love tubbys! Awesome tacos and great steaks too. Reasonable prices and a great local vibe.

The beer on tap was frosty cold and the fish and chips tasty and filling, the prices put a smile on my face. A very clean and great dive bar to grab a frosty brew and lunch, trust me you will be content. read more

This is a casual bar and restaurant with access to pool tables. Lunch, the food is good.

Locals Only - Everyone Else, Good Luck Definitely not a welcoming spot unless you're a regular. Whether the bar was packed or nearly empty, the vibe was clear: if they don't know you, you're not a priority. Bartenders seemed more interested in taking shots with friends than actually making drinks. I waited and waited, got skipped multiple times, and even had trouble closing my tab. Ended up missing last call simply because no one would help me. Terrible service, unwelcoming atmosphere - I won't be coming back and will definitely tell friends and family to steer clear. Honestly, you're better off grabbing something from the liquor store next door. read more

Tasty items..everyone there is nice. Enjoyed some action at the pool tables, too! All in all a very enjoyable experience! read more

The food here is really good. The service absolutely SUCKS!!!! I think I've had about enough of this place. The bartenders get hammered and forget who theyre serving and it takes forever. Also, if you're not one of their friends they make you wait and they could care less!!!! read more

I was excited to try this bar out with the boys ever since I drove by it one day heading home to La Habra. We all came out and met for a drink and everything was great! But the main reason we wanted to come out was because the name "Tubby" is one of my closest friends nickname ever since high school! read more

This is one of the oldest licensed bar in LA county. It's your typical neighborhood bar UN that it's got a sit down bar, booths and pool tables a some arcades and a juke box. The food here is very very good. They serve all your typical bar menu and also a nice steak. The cheeseburgers are pretty good. The do have TVs for sports and is usually packed on the weekends. It sits in a small strip mall and so parking is limited with the other businesses. Prices are very fair and the wait staff is seasoned and attentive and very personable. It has an Irish theme decors so hit them up on St. Patrick's Day . read more

I had heard of Tubby's from a couple of friends who had recommended this place. We decided to go there for the steak and egg breakfast. We got there early in the morning and sat down in a booth. We were quickly greeted by the bartender. We ordered bloody mary, the ribeye steak and eggs. The food was great and the bloody mary was perfect. Great way to start the day. Plenty of TV's to watch different sporting events. I definitely will go back. read more

Just came here between my Uber shift and chose the fish and chips with help of staff recommendations. It was amazing. I sat there. Sober. I ate. I played pool. And I even listened to a man's harrowing tale of being lost at sea (really I did). The fish was crisp, fresh, and meaty. Very satisfying bite. The fries were crispy, tender, and not over salted. Came with tartar, lemon, and malt vinegar. I asked for cocktail and it had a strong horseradish flavor. For years now every time I get fish and chips it disappoints. This brought an end to my longtime hankering for some GOOD fash and chaps, and I will return here when I want to order that. read more

It's a great old school neighborhood bar. Good bar food and great atmosphere. Pool tables are usually busy.

Good food and cheap priced drinks. Vibes are great. Pool tables and video games. The bartenders are great as well.

The food is seriously so good every time, no matter what time of day it is. I love the steak and chicken sandwich but whenever my friends or family members order something I'm taking a bite also service is great, just be patient don't be rude to those assisting you. Xoxox love tubbbiiiessss read more

Stopped in a couple weeks ago for happy hour, and boy was it a great spot to try! The bar was packed at 4pm on a Friday evening, and remained that way up until we left around 6:30! They're got darts, a juke box, and two pool tables. (Which accept dollars or quarters) I really appreciated that there was a wide range of age groups there. Saw people in their mid twenties, all the up to mid eighties! Quite nice actually. Not only were the drinks strong, esp. for the price. The food was absolutely wonderful, and service wasn't too shabby for as busy as they were! I opted for a grilled cheese with tomato, and fries. While my bestie got the fish & chips. Both of us truly enjoyed our meals so much - we'll be back this afternoon! Stay tuned for a photo later. Only con was they didn't have avocado for my sandwich. But it was still delicious. Thanks for the strong drinks, yummy food, and good time Team Tubby! read more

I love my local bar! TUBBY's has done a phenomenal job during this Covid craziness. They have set up this beautiful patio so that we can still eat and drink and enjoy some normality in our lives. Sanitizer is available for everyone, seating follows the social distancing required now, and masks are worn by all employees. Mark has done a lot to keep this place going and I'm proud to continue to support this small business. I want it to still be around after all this passes! Great breakfasts! Taco Tuesdays! Burgers and steak dinners! What more can you ask for? read more

I used to shoot pool here years ago. Recently, People were telling me how good the food is. My wife and I decided to try for ourselves. The food was really good especially for the price. I got a Rib Eye steak, awesome onion rings, freshly steamed veggies , a green salad with the BEST cheese toast I have ever had all for $22. My wife got the sirloin steak and shrimp, salad, baked potato and veggies for $16.50. We will visit this place more often. Can't wait to try the lunch menu. read more

Classic dive bar filled with nothing but regulars and that's who bartenders cater too. Even though they are very friendly, if they don't know you, you may as well be invisible. Drinks are cheap and food is surprisingly pretty good read more

I went to Tubbys Tavern for the first time and I met Jay. He was friendly and made me comfortable and made sure the bar tender kept me taken care of. read more

So I was having a bad day, needed a drink and this nice fella made sure I was taken care of. He was very polite and anything I needed he took care of me. Thank u Jason I'll fot sure be coming back because of him read more

Cold beer. Good meet up spot for bar food and hangout with friends. The service is fast.

Dont go here whatever you do! Went to eat some breakfast Sunday morning, I have never been there for breakfast before... but the dirty blond kinda heavy lady was so rude from the moment we walked in. We made eye contact and not even a smile the whole time it was like she hated to be there, and it showed. Whatever you do when going in there, don't ask questions about the drinks or food. You're going to get shrugged shoulders and an attitude. Then a friend called me to tell me they responded but must of deleted it. From Dan M. "This message is for Julie T. Yu walked in here with an attitude because your partner ordered with you being present. Hope your day is better htan it was when you woke up. The staff here at GTubbys are and always have been attentive, courteous, and pay attentio to detail. If the staff gives you an option on food or dirinks, its bcause they pa attention to detail" Then why the heck is there so many one star's about he staff? Need I say anymore. Keep trying to defend the rude lady behind the bar! The other guys next to me told me they have had a taste of her rudeness as well. Not going to post all of them, but there are more complaints. read more

I probably won't ever come here in the evening for dinner because of the bar and I usually always have my kids so it's most likely I won't but as for breakfast and lunch YES!!!!! I walked in on a Friday afternoon to have lunch and see how this place was from the inside. Nothing to be impressed about... Bar to the left, pool tables in the center and tables to the right, the place is super dimly lit as expected. The lady at the bar greeted us and told us to sit wherever we'd like. There's televisions all around so any seat is pretty good if you want to watch a game or what not. She brought us the menu and took our drink order and told us about the dishes they have. The hubby and I decided to split a Prime Rib plate and just ordered an extra salad, I really enjoyed it and I'm not really much of a carnivore. They add a little horseradish (I think) on the side that gives it little kick in flavor. I will definitely return to try other dishes on the menu, as I've heard from "regulars" of Tubby's that I can't go wrong! As for the prices... so inexpensive! I also really enjoyed the environment, super laid back and as for our server Jackie... she is the best! She made us feel very welcome there, I know she was just doing her job but she never came across as being fake or forced. Five stars--- Highly recommend during the day for a quick lunch or maybe day drinking? :) read more

What a nice surprise for me at Tubby's Tavern! I did not expect the food to be so delicious, but it really was! Jackie served us and she is very nice and made awesome recommendations, made me feel at home, particularly since she and I bonded over our football teams. I had the pastrami sandwich that I am still raving about two hours later and their sweet potato fries. The pastrami was grilled and had just the right amount of meat with no fat and the bread was toasted perfectly. I asked for extra pickles, but it already came with a huge pickle spear. The fries were pretty good. They have numerous televisions, a jukebox, playing my 70s and 80s jam, arcade games, and a warm ambience. Will definitely return. read more

I love tubbys! Everyone that works there is amazing love the chicken tacos on taco Tuesday :) and Jessica makes the best salsa everrrrrr

So many of my friends and coworkers recommended this place to me so I was so bummed when the previous reviews about the rude waitress turned out true. When I told everybody who recommended it about how rude she was they agreed and noticed the pattern. We all won't be back :/ Sucks because the place has so much potential to take off, so many other friendly bartenders and waitresses to hire too. Must be an owner or something. Her name was carol, food was ok, she got my order wrong and I didnt want to be huffed and puffed again so we just sucked it up and waited for the bill. Super disappointed. read more

I lobe the local dive bar feel at Tubby's. It's everything I like, pool Tables, strong drinks, neighborhood people and food! Met a other couple here and sat in a booth(not my preference). Ordered many drinks and dinner for all. Our server (bartender?) took for ever to do anything. The entire night we waited for more drinks, dinner toppings and a smile. The smile never came. The drinks were great, food not so much. New York steak was over cooked a d thin like a breakfast steak. No prob, it was only like $12.99. Ambiance - was great and the place was popping, after we got our food. I like the place and will be back. No dinner in a corner booth though. The server really messed up our night and we were hoping he'd get better. read more

Foodie friend wanted to come here for their famous cheap Friday prime rib. We got there around 7pm and sure enough, it was sold out... Well shoot, since we were there already, we decided to order something from the menu anyway because hangry was real. We picked chicken fried steak and ribeye steak. Chicken fried steak was decent but nothing special. The ribeye was totally worth the money. I ordered medium rare but it came out medium well. Strangely, it was still very tender and the steak was tasty. For the price, you really can't find anything better. The dishes also came with salad and potato stuff like fries or mashed potatoes. Overall, it was great for what it was. I would go back again to try the prime rib for sure. read more

Went in hoping to have some pre- Thanksgiving drinks. It was a full house and the bartending staff was so unorganized. We waited patiently for 40 minutes and watched many people leave due to the lack of service. It was pretty disappointing to say the least. Understaffed, slow and unorganized, oh and the restrooms are filthy and smell like a swamp. Needless to say that we won't be going back. We ended up calling a Lyft and went to the Lucky Lizard and had a good time there :). read more

Love this joint! Music is great, drinks are great, food is great! Restroom is cleaner than I'd expect from a neighborhood bar - and I've been to many neighborhood and dive bars. MANY. No seriously, very very many. The staff is wonderful. I read a couple complaints about them here, but I've never had a bad experience, day or night. Honestly, when going to a bar for breakfast, I expect EVERYONE to be at least half hungover, so I tend to be more understanding and less judgmental. Jackie on Tuesday morning is a hoot! read more

I usually really like Tubby's Tavern, today I was a really sad day because of our waitress Carol. We go to Tubby's every so often and we have great service by Jackie. Carol was so rude, got our order wrong blamed us as the customers, and tried to overcharge us for food that we didn't order. Carol insisted we ate the food we didn't order and told us "just don't leave a tip". Overall really bummed out today by the service it ruined the whole experience. read more

locals always talk about this place and growing up we would joke saying "WE WANT TO SEE TUBBY". I finally stopped in once I turned 21 and I'm so glad I did. The bartender, Chris, is so cool and friendly. He was telling everyone about his kids and is fun to have a convo with. The food is actually pretty good for bar food! The drinks are also fairly cheap :D since I live down the street, I think this is going to be a new hangout spot for my friends and I read more

It's the end of an Era for us. After 9 years of loyalty to our local pub I'm sad to say we won't be back. I can't get over how unsanitary the bartenders are. We sat at the bar and all of them were grabbing lemons, olives, and other condiments bare handed, putting it in drinks, taking cards and money. I didn't see them wash their hands. They Squeezed the lemons into the drinks while I imagined all the money germs & other bacteria mixed into the drinks. Thanks for the good memories in the past. Hope they get some new training on sanitation and cross contamination. read more
