Chubby’s

If you are in Macomb, Illinois and you do not visit this place you are missing out on a great sandwich and great drinks. The atmosphere and hospitality is second to none at Chubbys. I am sure that the next time I’m in Macomb, I will make plans to visit Chubby’s again. I had a cheeseburger with an egg and bacon on it and my father had a meatloaf sandwich. Both sandwiches were very good. I also enjoyed the homemade chips. Darrin H

Best burger in town. Get a Pretzel Burger. I go with the Pretzel Burger with cheese, throw some grilled onions, lettuce, tomato, maybe some bacon if you got that extra student loan money or you just got paid. The pretzel burger at Chubby’s is the best burger in town and where it’s at. Get you some!

Almost every time I’ve been here, I’ve been very pleased. It’s a fun atmosphere and it’s very close to campus. Perfect for students and faculty.

Very fun place. Eclectic décor, great beer selection and good service. The menu was interesting but the food was very greasy. The air smelled like fried food and so did my clothes. In spite of that, I would go back because it was fun!

I ate here only once awhile back, closer to the time that they’d first opened.
I was excited to try out a new restaurant in Macomb, hoping to find a new place to frequent.
I ordered a breaded chicken sandwich. Don’t get me wrong, the flavor was great, but the sandwich was very messy to eat. The chicken breast was huge and overly moist, so moist that the breaking kept sliding off also got with everything else on the sandwich.
I also wish it was located in a better part of town. It’s down near the college campus, so parking can sometimes be an issue. I also hate being surrounded by obnoxious college students both inside and outside the restaurant.
I’d love to go back and give it another go… just waiting for my opportunity.

The food and beer selection are excellent. I had a BBQ burger and was suprised by the interestingly seasoned meat they used for the patty. Portions are generous and the tatertots were fried to perfection.

Excellent restaurant! I had a delicious wrap called The Piranha which consisted of fried cod, lettuce, spicy tarter sauce. My daughter and I split and appetizer which was spinach and artichoke dip with tortilla chips! Amazing food and friendly staff with great service!

We had a group of 9 people and while the staff was happy to ply the group with drinks, after an hour wait for our food order we were then told it would be 15 – 20 more minutes because they had a $ 400 catering order that took priority over anyone at a table. We asked why we weren’t told this up front and the reply was «oh we thought you were.»
After the 20 minutes went by we were told it would be another 20 minutes but our drinks would be on the house. After that 20 minutes went by, our order was «being worked on». Three of our group left and the rest waited an additional 30 minutes for their food.
While the staff was nice and somewhat apologetic, this place is a disorganized disaster and after all that occurred and what was «on the house» the bill was still too high in my opinion.
I personally will never return to this place if in the Macomb area again unless they can get their stuff together.

Great service and the chili was fantastic. Highly recommend stopping by if you are in town for a college event. Super nice owners.

Jay R. Rates Chubby’s a 1 Star… if you look at his reviews he rates everything in Macomb a 1Star… Wonder why? Chubbys and the other businesses are very well run.

I kept giving this place a chance due to the convenient location but every time I was left disappointed and frustrated. Not only are the menu items ridiculously overpriced [fries don’t come with your burger, really?] but the customer service and expediting is a joke. there have been times where myself and a friend were the ONLY ones there, and we would wait 45min to an hour to get our food.
Similar to this issue, when we needed a simple beverage refill or more napkins, WE were the ones who had to get up to track down the waitress in the back of the kitchen. I have given this place numerous chances, and I have been let down every time. I would not recommend this place unless you enjoy spending ridiculous amounts of money for sub par food and horrible service.
Also, the decorations are horrendously tacky and an eye sore. Everything is mismatched and looked like a blind person grabbed things at a garage sale and threw them around the place. Deer heads, Simpson statues, monkey signs.? How pleasant… NOT.

Great portions… BUT, both times I have eat there… my burger has been dry!!!

The food was all made fresh and delicious! Our server was attentive, and super friendly. I think our server was the owner. I got the Reuben, fries and motz sticks. Delicious. The fries were fluffy and not like the soggy McDonalds ones that some places try to serve. Overall, very pleased!

Service can be a little slow at times, but the food is excellent. Their horseshoes are amazing.

While I’ve been here a few times and the food has been decent, I was very disappointed in the service and value of eating here. The last time I was here with a group we didn’t received our food for literally 35 – 40 minutes later. Not acceptable for quick lunch dining. Plus my cheeseburger which I added mushroom, grilled onion, an egg to, ended up being over 11 with tip for just the burger. No side or drink. Plus everything was so greasy this time from the bun, burger and sautéed veggies. I don’t frequent often but each times I go there’s something disappointing about it.

Chubby’s just opened in November. It’s convenient for your cheap college-​food needs, being right on the party strip of Adams, and a not-​terrible walk from the edge of the campus.
The whole place is very college. Décor is eclectic and silly, there’s a couple TVs.
Nothing is too expensive, and the hot dogs are downright cheap. My table got all horseshoes/​ponies, and the general consensus was very good. I especially liked the buffalo chicken pony I had, though it lacked in french fries.
Decent bar, good and cheap food, and it’s right on Adams. What’s not to like?
