Chubby's Burger Shack is the brain child of Craig Chapman and Scott Hooten. they wanted to create the best burger joint in Fort Worth. And they made a great start. Making it into our Top 10 List, Chubby's freshness pays off. The atmosphere is more what you expect in a place out in the "hunting" parts of Texas where you get your burger after you spent the day on your lease. There are plenty of deer heads and other "trophies" on the wall along with some good ol boy NASCAR and Pabst Blue Ribbon (still around) signs. There is a good size patio outside and they get some local live music every now and then. So, I guess you could say there is some character.

The burgers are 1/2lb and larger round than thick. The buns are over sized as well. The burgers are served open faced in a basket. This is because besides the main items like cheese, bacon, etc. you add your own fixins. In a throw back to the Burger Chef days, there is a fixins bar with, we kid you not, a jug titled "heavy duty mayonnaise." Nice. (MBH loves him some mayo.)

The temperature was good. It was made fresh to order. The meat was seasoned, but not as well as others, like say Pop's. The buns are toasted, which as you know is important. There are several side choices, but we went with the traditional fries. These were hand-cut and seasoned great - lots of peppery flavor. There are several choices of specialty burgers including the Chubby Challenge which is a 3lb burger that, if you can finish it, will be names after you!

We have tried this place a few times and each time the service is slow and not anything to write home about. But its what you can expect from high school kids waiting on tables. So, although the service is suspect, you will like this burger. There are plenty of options and crushed ice from the fountain. And be sure and ring the bell when you leave to let the chef know you approve.
