  I was in town visiting the in-laws and they were just raving about this place. We went on a Friday night, Prime Rib night apparently, and it was very busy. I had read the Yelp reviews beforehand and was pretty excited for the food. I wasn't super hungry so I opted for a burger (there really isn't much on the menu but burgers, steaks, or prime rib). It was ok, not great. Fries were nicely seasoned. We did get a lot of weird looks I think because we weren't regulars (trust me, two city lesbians stood out like a sore thumb). Overall I just really dont see why everyone raves about this place. It was good, but not great. But I guess for what is available in that area of Montana this place is probably the best of the best.

  This place is a cool local spot.  Not overly spacious, and not pretentious by any stretch of the imagination.  Serve standard bar fare along with some big steaks and other specialties.  Our waiter was attentive, but not overly friendly.

  This ain't no podunk shack.  Consider this the closest thing to a gastropub in the Helena area.
  
  The quality of the meat and seafood here rivals that of large US cities...at a much better price.
  
  This claim is evidenced in their prime rib and king crab legs.  The prime rib is of superior quality (well marbled) and the crab legs are full of succulent & sweet meat.  You will not feel jipped for burning the gas to drive to this place.  Service is quick and attentive.  Decor is Montana casual, but the food is deserving of a more upscale environment.  Definitely a Montana bar feel.  Nevertheless, let the food speak for itself and come treat yourself to an experience.  Also, they chop the leftover prime rib for chili on football Sundays...and offer it for FREE.  Their chocolate lava cake is great with an ice cold shot of Jaeger.  
  
  You will not leave hungry.  Their portions are generous and this is definitely NOT quantity over quality.  You just get a generous portion of quality fare here!

  Want to win me over when I'm upset? Want to know what just might cheer me up when I've had an awful day and we might have fought for the majority of it? Take me to a cool "divey" restaurant that serves a to die for steak with simple sides!! Mr. Hottie is one smart man!
  
  After a rough day, we went to Chubby's for dinner. The road to Chubby's is a beautiful drive through the mountains. After wondering if he was driving me to the country to dump my ass in a snowbank, we finally arrived at Chubby's. It's a small place that looks like a small honkytonk bar. We walked through the bar area, toward the back of the building where they seat people for dinner. We were greeted by a friendly waitress. She brought me a much needed Moose Drool and I was ready to place my order. I ordered the rib-eye steak rare with a baked potato. Before the steak, we were served a simple salad with lettuce, croutons, and I think our dressing choices were ranch and italian. I didn't pay much attention because I was waiting for my steak.
  
  My side of beef finally came to the table! Talk about a HUGE steak! The steak came with a side dish of corn that was swimming in butter. I cut into my steak and was initially worried that it might have been overcooked, but one more cut, and it was BEAUTIFUL. I took a bite and was a very happy girl! The meat was seasoned well and did not require any steak sauce. The potato was no frills and simple served with butter and sour cream, but it was good!
  
  The food at Chubby's is simple, no frills, meat and potatoes. I hope to return to Chubby's again to try their other carnivore pleasing offerings! It certainly boosted the entire mood for the day!
