Reviews for Chubby Trout in Elkhart, IN
This town was a pit stop on our way West. When looking for dinner in a new place we always try to find something local and the... Chubby Trout fit the bill. We stopped in at 630 on a Thursday and the place was hopping. Despite a crowded restaurant the staffwas on point and the wait for food not too bad. In the end the meal was fantastic and we would love to visit again. I had theshrimp tacos and the other meal pictured was a Louisiana pasta meal. Highly recommend this place!! Read more
Wow, great place to eat and loved the old barn decor. Couldn’t decide between the lake caught perch, trout or walleye so I... got the trout and tried my friends walleye. Both were great! Also a great list of local brews on tap. Get it!! Read more
We went on a Friday evening so it was busy but we drove a long way to get there and decided 35 min wouldn't be too bad of a wait... since it was a beautiful evening and they have comfy furniture outdoors to sit on. We opted for the first available table whichwas indoor. It was a little loud but tolerable. The decor was charming. Our wait staff were very friendly and took great care ofus during our visit. I ordered a blueberry mule and it was perfect. For a starter we ordered the zucchini blossoms and werepleasantly surprised by the flavorful treat. I had the fish Taco's and opted to pay the up charge for ahi tuna and was notdisappointed. The house made kettle chips were disappointing they arrived late cold and soggy but I was so full I didn't missthem anyway. My husband ordered the burger and fries. He was disappointed that it came disassembled and all the condiments areon the table to add yourself. He said his burger was OK and his fries were good. We did not order from the sushi menu but as youwalk in you see the sushi station and the chefs making it fresh. The table across from us ordered multiple rolls and seemed toenjoy it all. The server was able to tell them each roll (multiple times ????) and answer all their questions. Overall I woulddefinitely recommend AND make the hour trip to return. Read more
The food is a bit different, but very good. Great speciality drink menu, prices seemed reasonable. Service was fast and... efficient. The bar area was a bit lively, which was great. There was s really nice seating outside as well in the front. Iwould go back again. Read more
Food was Amazing! The sushi pretty decent! Also the prime rib sandwich hit the spot.Service was kind and attentive.
Seafood & sushi & prime rib? Ok! This place was located right next to the hotel we were staying in, so hard to pass up! We... read over the reviews and just had to check it out! We thought it was gonna be a bust since when we walked in there was onewaitress and she was steady answering, not one, but two ringing phones simultaneously. As soon as someone noticed, they hadsomeone come from the kitchen to seat us and from then on, smooth sailing. The better half ordered the Chicken Caesar ($12) andI ordered the Seared Ahi Tuna appetizer ($17) and a Dynamite roll ($13). The tuna appetizer looked and tasted a littledifferent than what I'm used to but it was very good, wasn't the sharp teriyaki/soy flavor I was looking for but more of a basictuna & sesame flavor (you can order it with sesame seeds or blackened like a Cajun flavor, I opted for the sesame). I don'tthink I would order it again as there just wasn't $17 worth of oomph there. The Dynamite roll was 8 pieces of deliciousness! Iwould definitely order that again!! All in all, I really liked this place. I would definitely return!! Read more
