Chubby's Diner - Kailua Kona

Chubbys is so unexpected – in a good way. Our hotel staff recommended it to us and we were skeptical pulling into the Chubby parking lot, but yes, it is in a bowling alley / arcade! There are some stands for you to sit or you can bowl and at the same time eat. We have the oxtail soup (must get), oxtail loco moco, and the pig and cabbage. All delicious, but the oxtail soup.... Was extraordinary amazing. The broth is an explosion of taste and the oxtail is perfectly brewed. Very recommended!!!

The food was delicious. The portions were generous and the presentation was appetizing, all while enjoying the atmosphere of the bowling alley and playroom.

The first time to eat Chubby’s diner and it didn’t disappoint! My order: 1. Furikake fries: the best furikake I have so far! Absolutely delicious and perfectly seasoned. Portion was huge!! Furikake wasn't just tipped on fries, it was more embedded in the outside of the fries and didn't just fall off as it was blown up afterwards. 2. Oriental chicken salad with balsamvinaigrette: the Teriyaki chicken was tasteful and had the perfect amount of Teriyaki. It was not overwhelming and the Romaine was crispy. Absolutely loved the balsamic dressing, wonder if this might be done in the house? They gave me the right amount of dressing on the side, so I could control how much was put on, which was a nice touch. 3. Korean chicken wing with Hapa rice and Mac salad: crispy and delicious! Mac Salat was also top notch. Win us a solid amount of wings at the price. Overall, deeeelicious food, hefty portions, and all around great experience. Very recommended! Keep the great work, buddy!

Pretty good food served in a bowling alley. Your fish and chips are delicious. I love the Adobo. We'll eat the oxen sponge next time.

Food was excellent, shocked to find good local food at an arcade but delicious. Staff was friendly, would recommend.
