Chubbfathers

On Kent Stone Boulevard in Alabaster, Chubbfathers has built a local reputation on hand-patted burgers, a long wing list, and a menu that keeps expanding into po’boys, tacos, and even a Saturday morning breakfast service. The restaurant is registered under Sun and C’s Seafood Spot LLC, a sign of the same local ownership group that has operated at this address under more than one concept over the years before settling on the current burger-forward identity.

The restaurant’s own description leans on the phrase locally minded, community driven, and the menu is built to match a wide range of appetites in one order. Burgers headline the list, from the Deluxe Burger with American and Swiss cheese to the bacon-loaded Chubba Burger finished with BBQ sauce and the Zydeco Burger, dressed with Cajun horseradish and crispy onion straws. THE WOO!, a double bacon cheeseburger stacked with the same Cajun horseradish and onion straws, sits at the top of the burger list for diners who want the fullest version of the format, alongside The Pit Stop and a Curd Burger further down the same section.

Beyond burgers, the menu covers a lot of ground. Po’boys include a Cajun cheesesteak, a shrimp po’boy, a chicken and sausage po’boy, and a buffalo chicken version, all dressed on French bread with the same Cajun horseradish that shows up across the menu. A slider board offers the same flavors in a smaller format, Basic, Sloppy, and Little Chubbs sliders, priced from $11 to $13 depending on count, and a run of griddled sandwiches beyond the burger list, a cheesesteak, a chicken Philly, a Big Boss Club, a steak and egg sandwich, and a Vulcan among them, fills out the $12 to $16 range for diners who want something other than a burger patty. Wings are sold by the pound in a choice of styles, and a dedicated Meat and… section, running weekday afternoons, offers plate-lunch style options like hamburger steak with brown gravy, fried or grilled bone-in pork chops, and chicken fried steak with chicken gravy, each priced at $10 for one side or $13 for two, with a Dinner for 4 bundle at $40.

Seafood has not disappeared from the menu despite the burger-focused rebrand, a nod to the location’s earlier identity as a seafood spot. Fish tacos, shrimp tacos, a popcorn shrimp basket, and a fried fish basket with hush puppies all remain in rotation, giving the menu a wider range than the name alone suggests. A tacos and totchos section layers tater tots or tortillas with cheese sauce, corn and black bean salsa, and a choice of protein, priced between $8 and $12 depending on the protein, a format that has become one of the more popular corners of the menu. The appetizer list runs alongside it, with Buffalo Chicken Cheese Fries at $12, Chicken Bacon Ranch Fries at $13, Loaded Cheese Fries at $9, Garlic Butter Cheese Curds at $10, and fried pickles or onion straws at $7 each.

Saturday mornings bring a breakfast menu on top of the regular lunch and dinner service, with prices mostly in the $3 to $10 range, a Double Oh 7 breakfast plate at $8.99, breakfast tacos and a breakfast burrito at $5 each, biscuits and sausage gravy at $5, and a steak and egg tots plate at $14 that layers steak, cheese, grilled onions, and sunny-side eggs over tater tots; grits, cheese grits, and hashbrowns run $3 to $4 as add-ons. A trio of flat-priced Bargain Bag lunches, the Backyard, the Regular, and the Chubby Chicks, are each $8. The restaurant also runs a catering arm and a food truck, plus a Feed the Fam program that scales from a small 10-slider tray at $40 to $45 up to a large 20-slider tray at $70 to $85, with a 25-piece tender platter at $45, a 50-piece version at $85, and banana pudding or chocolate cookie pudding trays priced from $35 to $65, all available with a 24-hour preorder window.

Chubbfathers is open Monday through Saturday, closed on Sundays, with slightly later hours on Fridays to cover the weekend rush. Between the burger list, the wing counts, the plate-lunch specials, and the seafood baskets that carry over from the location’s earlier life, Chubbfathers has become one of the more genuinely local, family-run stops for casual food in Alabaster.
