OMG the food is amazing.
Simply a cut above. Everything we had on the two nights we went - yes we went twice because the food was so outstanding - was simply wonderful. The fish, seafood and oysters were so fresh and were combined with flavors that just made them sing. The black bass tempura with the soy beurre blanc sauce melts in your mouth. My husband loved the raw oysters. The fried oyster roll with dill tartar sauce and freshly made chips is soooo amazingly good. The chili garlic shrimp was such a fantastic combo of flavors and the shrimp were so fresh. The blue crab tagliatelle was a scrumptious pasta dish with leeks, asparagus and trout roe that had a creamy, lemony flavor that was balanced with the salty roe. I'm not generally a fan of roe but it was just what the dish needed. Staff is so friendly and nice. The recognized us the second night and made us feel so welcome. You have to get in line 30 to 45 minutes before they open at 5pm to get a table and on the second night we were prepared to stand in the rain to get in. We have had some great seafood in Charleston but this is by far and away the top of heap.

10 out of 10 dinner! We were able to book the large table for a party of ten, committing to a food and beverage minimum. The menu is a surprise although you can request some types of items. The best things were the caviar sandwiches (what??) for being unique, any of the fresh fish and the desert. The desert was an icecream that looked like fried chicken in the most realistic way but tasted like the most amazing crunch coated creamy sweet treat. Try some of the stuff you might not normally- example the celery salad was such a cool dish and the lamb was lovely!

Everything was so good - one of the best meals I've ever had. Caviar sandwiches were delicious. Grilled oysters were the only thing that I wouldn't get again but still good. Fish curry had amazing flavor, but maybe a little heavy on rice compared to other ingredients. Lambs ribs were one of the best things I've ever tasted. Five stars if they took reservations. Almost a three hour wait on a Thursday is stupid. Grow up and take reservations like a real restaurant.

The moment you walk up & are greeted by the hostess, you know youre in for a treat at Cubby Fish! Part of Chubby's charm is that its tucked into a Charleston Row House in the Elliotborough neighborhood, so you'll really get a sense of Charleston via the location alone. (But that also means space may be limited, so be sure to arrive early!) We are locals and have had the pleasure of eating at Chubby Fish several times now, each time included shareable experiences & phenomenal food. Also, we've never heard a native say a single negative thing about Chubby Fish, which tells you something! Its hard to choose a single item from their menu because everything we've had has been memorable for its curation of flavors. But we cannot get enough of the Beef Marrow Bone, we order it everytime. And the Blue crab Tagliatelle has roe on top; the little pops of saltiness elevated the dish to another level. But if you do have a hard time making a decision, the waitstaff & sommeliers are all knowledgeable, easy to talk with, and eager to make sure you have a top-notch experience.
Be the first to ReplyHostess lies and doesn't say anything straight.
Makes false promises and then gaslights you into thinking you're in the wrong. Was excited to eat here, but will never come back. Overhyped, and the fame got to their heads for sure. Eat somewhere else and save your money and time.
Be the first to ReplyAbsolutely worth every single penny.
The line was so long we weren't sure we'd get a table, but once we got our table it was such a great experience. The food was absolutely incredible. We had the caviar sandwiches, half dozen oysters, the "fried chicken" ice cream and a noodle dish. The wine selection was also a highlight with a skin contact natural wine available.
Be the first to ReplyChubby Fish is worth the wait time.
See, everyone stated I must go to Chubby Fish! I walked down the residential streets to find this unassuming restaurant on the corner and was told that it was a 45 minute wait time. Being famished I opted not to wait and I left that day. I was told to come around opening. I thought I was so clever I arrived ten minutes before opening. The line stretched 150 feet according to my GPS. Yea, apparently I was not clever enough or too many people were more clever! I waited patiently as the line moved forward taking fifteen minutes to get to the front where the hostess informed me I had two choices. I could either wait another four hours or eat immediately at a communal standing table. I went with the standing table. I joined four other woman at this standing table that was not much wider than a narrow bar top. The restaurant was packed. It was fairly loud, but not so loud that I couldn't hear people around me. Our waitress was wonderful. She was effortlessly cool. The tight spaces did not seemed not to phase her. She guided along appearing at perfect times to offer more wine or ask if we wanted more food. I mean, she made me relaxed despite not being in my element. It felt like this was her space and we were gracious guests. The ambiance became a group of strangers united by a love of wine and food. It was marvelous. My dining companions were strangers and as corny as it sounds we left as friends. Literally we went out after for drinks! Getting back to Chubby Fish the food was AMAZING. I stuck with the raw bar selections and no regrets. The oysters were grand. The tuna crudo buttery. The tuna toast with greens delightful. My taste buds sung and dance and celebrated. Chubby Fish is worth the wait and if you feel so bold the group table is a whole adventure!

Chubby Fish is one of the top 12 restaurants in the US for good reason. This was the desert, an ice cone shaped like a chicken drumstick; it was awesome. Our server was on point; she knew the menu and gave great wine suggestions. The Restaurant itself is pleasant, not overcrowded, and has a very fast-paced atmosphere. This is a no-reservation Restaurant, but it was sold out by 6 pm the night we went--200% recommended.
Be the first to ReplyOh yes, definitely a five-star meal.
The question is, what can I say about this wonderful fresh seafood restaurant that hasn't recently been written in the dozens of other positive reviews? We didn't look forward to standing in line prior to opening, but it became one of the highlights of our evening. We met some terrific people from within Charleston and around the country. As we discussed food, travel, food, occupations and food the time flew by. The menu is only available from a board posted on the front top wall, and I didn't bring my glasses. Not a problem, we (and other guests) simply walked up and took screenshots with our phones. The restaurant doesn't serve liquor, only beer and wine. Somehow, we survived ;) The raw oysters are served with a smoked caviar topping. Delicious, but I really enjoy some heat with mine. Have no fear, a restaurant-made hot sauce is available, just ask. Quite the kitschy plate-ware, see photo. I should've bought a t-shirt! I love the restaurant logo. It's great to sight-see the dishes being served to other tables. The curry smelled and looked wonderful. Seating is quite limited. I understand parties of three (and also large groups) may be asked to wait because most of the tables are arranged for two or four guests. Wish we had saved room for dessert. I'll be back

Celery salad is our favorite and the fresh selection of seafood, paired with the great wine and the lively ambiance makes for an all time Charleston favorite. Been here over 20 times and whenever friends or family are in town, we make it a point to take them. Cheers to one of the best restaurants in the south.

The best seafood, ever! The seasonings on each dish leaves you wondering, how did they do it, it's fantastic and unique. The whole fish, baked clams, spicy shrimp, root vegetables were all fantastic. All with great service
Be the first to ReplyOMG! Is all I can can say! Best meal of my life.
My husband does not stand in line for food-ever. (he didn't-I did) but he did say after the meal that he would stand in line for this anytime. Celery salad, cauliflower, caviar sammich, curry. All beyond amazing! The best service - more appropriately referred to as "experience advisors"-our advisor Mandy was phenomenal. Love, love
Be the first to ReplyNow I understand why everyone was standing in line before
Now I understand why everyone was standing in line before this place opened. All of the food we tried was delicious. We had the best seat in the house, right in front of the chefs. What an experience! I am a very picky seafood person and never thought I would be eating oysters but let me just say you must try the grilled oysters with crab fat. Really you actually should try just about everything they make..
Be the first to ReplyStill the absolute BEST.
Went twice within a week and not sorry. Both times we were in line about 430 and got seated immediately, but if you were here by 5, I'm pretty sure you will still get to eat that night.All local SC oysters which were fabulous. Today, my favorite bite was the poached tilefish, but I will always love the smoked fish curry.Please, if you haven't been, just make a plan to come.

Definitely a must-taste restaurant for anyone looking for a seafood-focused meal. Firstly, Chubby Fish does not take reservations, so you will want to get there when they open to put your name in. If it's the weekend, expect to wait a couple of hours for a table- just have a nearby place in mind to grab drinks while you wait. There is no standing room in the restaurant, so don't expect to have drinks there while you wait unless you want to dodge waiters all night. The seafood is spectacular - caviar sandwiches for every person is a must. The romesco sauce on the lamb is also some of the best I've tried. I have eaten here at least 5 times and will continue eating here whenever I can. A little pricey but worth it.
Be the first to ReplyAMAZING!!! I'm so in love with this place!! We were a party
AMAZING!!! I'm so in love with this place!! We were a party of 2 and sat at the bar where we were afforded the luxury of seeing the crew in action!!! Lucky us!! We started with two of each of the various oysters they had and were both delighted with the variation of flavors. My favorite was the select from NS, but they all were great!! We each ordered a small plate to share! The Cauliflower was recommended by a friend, so that's what I ordered and wasn't disappointed. The cauliflower appears to be roasted with a Parmesan crust. Very delish, and more than enough to share for a party of 4 (we had leftovers). The sauce with the cauliflower has just a little kick to it, but not too bad (I'm a wimp to spicy food and handled it with no problem ). We also ordered the celery salad, that was full of flavor!! This too is enough to share. For the main course, we went for the Swordfish Schnitzel with caviar butter and the Snowy Grouper!! Both dishes were delicious and beautifully displayed. The Swordfish came with a side of potato purée that was perfection!! The caviar butter on top of the swordfish was absolutely a fabulous combination!!! The fish was cooked to perfection with a lightly flavored coating. The grouper was the winner for me, but I LOVE a good grouper!! The green garlic sauce combined with the turnip vegetable mixture was AMAZINGLY delicious!! The grouper was cooked to perfection and the green garlic sauce with trout roe was a nice added flavor to the dish!! The wait was about an hour and the place was packed, so be patient, but it's worth the wait. The guys in the kitchen were great about making recommendations and giving us a little knowledge about the various dishes and oysters. The only negative was our server didn't seem to check on us much, but the guys behind the counter took great care of us. Still a 5 in my books and I plan to be back soon!!
Be the first to ReplyA unique dining experience.
Unbelievably good food, excellent friendly service. Enough said!!
Be the first to ReplyTrendy spot for the foodie in you.
They don't take reservations, so generally you need to start lining up 30 mins before 5pm to get that first seating. I went there for a friend's birthday and we went family style on the items. Each item is a bit tapas, some small and some little bigger. Their menu is always changing so these recommendations might be swapped out. We all like the chili garlic rice, smoked wahoo curry, and sheepshead tempura. I liked the blue fin crudo and cauliflower cacio pepe but not everyone did. Probably a great date spot, but is on the pricier side for portion size. They also serve raw oysters too. Cheers!
Be the first to ReplyWe came here for my friend's birthday.
We read online that they don't take reservations and that you better get there before they open. We got in-line at 4:30 and there were 5 people already ahead of us. The line is no joke. Once inside, the atmosphere is super laid back but cute. The staff was all very friendly and knowledgeable. We were told to order 6-7 plates for 4 people. Definitely not a cheap meal but so delicious! If I were to go back (which I'm sure I will!), I would order the chili garlic shrimp, smoked wahoo curry, and the sheepshead tempura! They were all amazing! I definitely recommend checking this place out.

Don't miss! We had a great time this is not your typical fish shop. Food was fabulous and unique. We asked the server what to get and were not disappointed. This was the special that month. Chefs kiss
