| - Went here for dinner last night after a recommendation from some friends. The venue is trendy with good lighting, and the washrooms were also very clean, which our party noted and appreciated. We had Jess W. as our server and she was top notch from beginning to end - personable, attentive, funny, and accurate - which is a rarity these days. Request her before you visit, if possible, and you, too, will see what we're talking about :)
Now onto the food. Overall, it was very, very good. We started with festival and okra, and both were delectable- crispy and not greasy. Our mains included the curried goat, a half jerk chicken, and the veggie stew. Again, mains were good portions, served piping hot and tasting very fresh. West Indian food has a reputation for being heavy and laden with oil, but I can say with confidence that Chubbys food was neither. The curried goat gravy was clean, the veggies stews were creamy and plentiful, and the jerk chicken was the real deal. Make sure you check out the jerk pit they have in the back. You also must try the rum and raisin bread pudding for dessert! You will not be disappointed.
All in all, our only complaints were the $20 we paid for parking and we found the music was a bit loud. However, we would definitely go back. Chubby's, please don't lower your standards... you are a gem among the Jamaican restaurant wannabes!!
