Editorial Review for Chubby's On Broadway – by Jen Girdish
In Short
Mainly inhabited by families during the day, part of the Chubby's charm is lost unless it's after bar hours and your stomach is ravenous for a greasy-spoon. The '50s style decor and constant coffee refills creates a perfect atmosphere for 3am confiding and winding down the night. Most dishes are heavy on the meat; there isn't much sympathy for vegetarians here. Although burgers and other dinner-fare is offered, breakfast is the popular favorite.

IF YOU HAVE EVER BEEN HUNGRY AND IN THE WESTPORT AREA YOU HAVE BEEN TO CHUBBY'S ON BROADWAY. IF NOT THEN YOU HAVE BEEN MISSING SOMETHING. JUST LAST MONTH THE SON'S OF THE ORIGINAL CHUBBY'S; OF WHICH THERE HAVE BEEN 4 LOCATIONS SINCE THE FIRST ONE MORE THAN 20 YEARS AGO; EVICTED A FORMER OPERATOR AND SHUT DOWN THE PLACE FOR 3 WEEKS FOR SOME MUCH NEEDED REMODELING. AFTER A WONDERFUL JOB OF REMODELING CHUBBY'S HAS REOPENED AND HAS BROUGHT BACK ITS FORMER GLORY. VITO AND NICK LaBRUZZO HAVE DONE A MAGNIFICENT JOB OF PROVING THAT YOU CAN GO BACK. THE FOOD IS GREAT AND THE PORTIONS ARE HUGE. NO BETTER DEAL I HAVE FOUND. I WAS ONCE A CUSTOMER BEFORE I BECAME AN EMPLOYEE, BUT DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, GO SEE FOR YOURSELF.

My husband and I went to Chubby's upon recommendation from a local in Kansas City. We went during Sunday brunch hours, and we expected a big hot mess, but the experience was delightful. We're a couple of lazy yuppies from the St. Louis suburbs, so I felt a bit of a jolt when I saw "Cash Only". However! My husband was packing moneys so we were set. I ordered an omlette, and my husband got the country friend steak and eggs. We also got a side of the sausage gravy (hey, we were on vacation). When our meals arrived, we were shocked at the quantity (country fried steak was as big as my head), and when we tucked in, we were surprised by the quality as well. The service was AMAZING. Diner service can be dubious, but if you happen to smoke, and come by during the day on a Sunday, hope for Cheryl (or Sheryl, not sure). Lovely woman--and we had only been seated for about 10 minutes before our food came. Our coffees and waters were refilled quickly. Oh yeah, did I mention the breakfast was awesome? I cannot recommend this place enough. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience, and next time I'm in KC, I'm eating at Chubby's.
Pros: great service, great food, jukeboxes at tables
Cons: sketchy neighborhood, sub-par parking
