OUR STORY

Chubby’s Burgers is a local family owned and operated restaurant located in Blythewood, South Carolina. Owner and Executive Chef Chris Sarant saw the need the Midlands had for a really good burger spot, so he decided to create it himself! After being laid off from their jobs during the pandemic in 2020, Chris and his wife Amy scraped together every bit of their savings they had been saving to buy a house and all the Faith they could muster and bought a modest little food trailer that, with the help of family and friends and 4 weeks of blood sweat and tears spent renovating it, became Chubby’s Burgers. After a grand opening in their driveway that had lines around the block and sold out in under 3 hours, they realized we were on to something special and quickly became one of the Midlands most popular food trucks. Their signature Chubby Burger was featured as the Free Times Bite of the Week January 6, 2021, and in the 2021 Post and Courier Best of Columbia Awards Chubby’s won Writers Choice for Best Hamburger and was named one of the top 5 burgers in the Midlands-all within one year of opening.

Fast forward to 2022 and when the opportunity to open a restaurant in the place of an old local bar that was closing its doors came up they jumped on that with the same faith they had when they started the food truck! Within one week they took the old place from a drab old bar to a vibrant and new Chubby’s Burgers & Brewhouse. Known for their unique twists on the classic smash-style burger, their commitment to using fresh local ingredients, their flavorful homemade sauces, and their dedication to delicious top-quality food, Chubby’s Burgers & Brewhouse grew quickly and brought something new to Blythewood that the community has embraced. Chris and Amy say they are lucky enough to have brought together a team of amazing people who help them to make Chubby’s what it is today-a special local spot where families and friends can get together to hang out, eat delicious fresh food, and have fun.

Chef Chris is so excited to share his unique smash-burger concept menu with something for everyone, a full bar with 25 beers on tap, vintage arcade game room, TVs, live music every Friday night, and so much more to Chubby’s Burgers & Brewhouse in Blythewood. We hope you love it as much as we do!
