Chubby's Diner — Restaurant in California

This restaurant was such a fun experience. Three of us (60, 72, & 88 years old) decided to get a burger but we wanted something different. My daughter (27 yrs. old) said that it was one of her favorite eating places where her and her friends can get good food at a reasonable cost. We ordered off of the breakfast & lunch portions of the menu. It took us at least ten minutes to decide because there was five pages of choices. I ordered a waffle and I have to say that it was the worst waffle that I'd ever tasted. So I called the waitress (Shelby) over and explained that I would like to order something else and that the waffle was terrible. She was so sweet about not making me feel crummy about sending back my food. So, I ordered a BLT and it was the best that I'd ever had! So all went well. My two friends also thoroughly enjoyed their meals. Now on to the restaurant..... It was so cool because the walls were covered with everything from the 50's. Cars, pictures, Christmas decorations and anything else from that era that you can think of! We were there about an hour mainly looking at everything. They even had the walk of stars. It was just too cool! 😎 I can honestly say that this was the most enjoyable lunch that I'd had in a very long time. We paid our bill and left a nice tip for our waitress who was a wonderful asset to our experience. As we were walking out, I walked up to Shelby and handed her an extra $6.00 tip and I told her thank you again for not making me feel bad about sending back my waffle. She gave me a big smile and that made me feel even better. So, if you want a great lunch (except for the waffles) along with a trip back to the "good old days of the 50's", stop by and enjoy the abundance of choices including breakfast, lunch or dinner and their friendly staff and great service. Thanks Chubby's ☺ for...

The place was just ok. I have previously worked at a 50's diner and this place had some issues. First issue, when someone orders a Shirley Temple, you put cherries in it. Second issue, I had the menu and was looking for shakes and malts, which are not on the menu. So I asked the server about a dessert type menu and he said there isn't one. For a place that has a light up sign that states Shakes and Malts, and the people sitting across from us clearly drinking a malt, and for Google to have a picture posted of a malt menu, why were we not given a menu for that? I can see the shake machines clearly on the counter. Was it that we were there at noon and the place closes soon and no one wanted to make them for us? We ordered and shared a breakfast item and a lunch item to try. The Chicken Fried Steak with Eggs and Hashbrowns was fine, cold but fine. The Patty Melt was good. The Loaded Fries though..... who uses shredded cheese to melt on anything? It came off in clumps. Shredded cheese is coated with corn starch to keep it separated. Because of that it doesn't melt. Loaded Fries should have a nacho type cheese used, or a shredded block of cheese would melt great too. The atmosphere was good. Really long booth seating. The only condiments on the table was salt and pepper. No extra napkins, one one napkin each. A light up sign that says Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Served All Day..... it closes at 1. Maybe that shouldn't be up there. Overall, this place could be great, but it's...

I don't know what happened to this place. The AC was out but no big deal. Only we waited 15 minutes before someone asked for our drink order. Our food took over 45 min and people who sat after us got their food before us. My poached eggs were rock hard. My son ordered a plain cheeseburger and it came with cold unmelted cheese. My husband's food was OK but all he ordered was bacon and scrambled eggs so thank God. Our server was nice but not enough to make up for everything else. No discount offered. Just a big old maybe it will be better next time... there will not be one..... In response to their response: I also made sure to take note of the time. We sat down at 1154am (i know because i sent a text). We did not get asked or drink order until 1209pm (I know because then I went outside for a cigarette) and our food did not get served to us until 1252 ( i know because that's when i called a different restaurant and ordered food from them to go). So please don't try to down play your bad restaurant. It took so long that the waited said. And i quote"sorry is taking so long. Everyone is wondering where your food is." It used to be good place and I go to breakfast all over Manteca after church and have never had issues like this. If you're not capable of handling a Sunday rush you need new management. Clearly from your response you just choose to cater to those...
