Chubby’s Restaurant

Why go: A family-owned, from-scratch Southern kitchen on Dolly Parton Pkwy in Sevierville, with a menu that runs from hand-pounded pork tenderloin and hand-cut ribeye to rotating daily specials and homemade desserts.

About Chubby’s Restaurant

Chubby’s Restaurant is a family-owned, family-operated Southern homestyle kitchen that makes everything from scratch. The menu spans appetizers, salads, sandwiches, burgers, and plate lunches, giving it a range that suits a quick weekday meal as easily as a sit-down family dinner. Plates come with two sides and bread; sandwiches and burgers come with a choice of chips, fries, tater tots, or onion rings.

The kitchen runs a rotating daily specials program alongside the regular menu. Specials are posted to the restaurant website weekly and are worth checking before you visit.

Getting to Chubby’s Restaurant

Chubby’s Restaurant is at 1386 Dolly Parton Pkwy in Sevierville, on the western stretch of the Parkway past the main commercial corridor, heading out toward the Chestnut Hill area. Parking is available on site. Open Tuesday through Saturday from 8:00 AM, and Sunday until 3:00 PM. Closed Mondays.

Why Choose Chubby’s Restaurant

Chubby’s occupies a specific and useful niche in the Sevierville dining landscape: a working, from-scratch kitchen with portions that are honest in size and a price point that does not require much deliberation.

• Everything made from scratch. The kitchen hand-breads appetizers, pats out burgers by hand, and produces its own ranch, spicy ranch, and other sauces and dressings in-house. The difference is noticeable on the plate.
• A rotating daily specials program that goes beyond the menu. Prime rib on Fridays, catfish, meatloaf, lasagna, spaghetti, and chicken parmesan rotate on a weekly schedule. Check the website for the current week before you visit.
• The Fried Pork Tenderloin is a regional standout. Hand-pounded, breaded, and deep fried to a size that typically extends past the bun. It has earned a following well beyond the immediate Sevierville area.
• Kids menu available. A practical choice for groups with varied ages and preferences.

Menu Favorites

The plates, the Fried Pork Tenderloin, and the daily specials program are the main reasons to visit. The appetizer program is stronger than a quick scan of the menu might suggest.

• Fried Pork Tenderloin. Hand-pounded, breaded, and deep fried, served on a bun with your choice of toppings. The portion extends well past the bun and is the single most-praised item among repeat visitors.
• Chubby’s Famous Burger. A hand-patted 8 oz patty topped with bacon, slow roasted pork, BBQ sauce, grilled onions, and cheddar. The most loaded item on the burger menu.
• Ribeye. A hand-cut 12 oz ribeye, cooked to order, served with two sides and bread. The premium option on the plate menu.
• Hamburger Steak. A hand-patted beef patty smothered in sauteed onions and brown gravy, served with two sides and bread.
• Country-Fried Steak. Hand-breaded and smothered in country gravy, served with two sides and bread.
• Deep Fried Deviled Eggs. Hand-breaded egg whites, deep fried and filled with homemade yolk. The restaurant lists these as a must-try, and they are among the more distinctive appetizers on the menu.
• Fried Green Tomatoes. Hand-breaded with Clyde’s cornmeal mix, served with homemade spicy ranch.
• Frito Pie. Homemade chili over Frito chips with cheddar, lettuce, tomatoes, and sour cream. A hearty bowl dish that works as a light meal or a shared appetizer.
• Chubby’s Reuben. Slow-cooked corned beef brisket on marbled rye with Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and Russian dressing.
• Prime Rib. A rotating Friday special. Call ahead to confirm availability.
• Cornmeal Peach Cobbler. Homemade, in keeping with the kitchen’s from-scratch approach. Worth saving room for.
