Been to Chubby's several times. I think it's ok. Not best I've tried but way above average. Have not tried the ribs.
They make their own spicy chips there and serve them with most meals. I love the chips but my wife doesn't care for them (too thick).
How far is this place from you, PJ?
PS Service 2 out of three times was care of female versions of Dumb and Dumber.
I forgot to post that i did stop there on 01/01/2007.
I tasted the ribs, the briskets and the pork.
The came in big chuncks pulled right off the shoulders. it was very good. the bisket was a bit dry and the ribs were awfull. I think there had been holding the ribs for quite a whie and they had dried up.
the cornbread was good. I did not like the potato sdalad (too much onion)
I think I will go another time to try other items and give the ribs a second chance.
Chubby's is adequate for "northern" BBQ (I know, I know, it's technically south of the Mason Dixon line, but north of the Potomac). It's not worth a special trip, but is worth a stop since I drive past in coming home to Pennsylvania from DC several times a month.
I'm a South Carolinian, so BBQ is a near religious experience for me. I've made pilgrimages to places like Lexington #1 and Arthur Bryant's. But I like my own, smoked with hickory and apple in "The Beast" best.
