Chubby’s Hot Chicken

American restaurant

👍👍 This place is a GEM! It's one of those small local places that is so good that you don't tell tourists about so you don't add to the already long line out the door. The menu is small, but that is a sign of a restaurant that sticks to its roots and doesn't try to be something it's not. This placenis...

👍👍 We patiently waited for this location to open since the first time we saw the “coming soon” signs and the food, people, and atmosphere keep us coming back.

The Great American

American restaurant

👍👍 I’m so glad Great American Pizza is back. We had pizza with their signature garlic sauce and it’s better than I remembered. We also tried the tacos and the burgers.
