Mr. Chubby Smash Burger 280 Main Street, Ventura, CA 93001

"the best “smash” burger in the area. I say smash in quotes because it’s the new definition, or should be, of what a smash burger really is. When it gets smashed so thin around the edges, it gets that beautifully crispy and tasty maillard reaction. That is the new trend that has been blowing up for all new burger shops. I had the double smash burger with bacon jam added on. It should be part of it because it makes the burger even better imo."

"Outstanding burger! Fancy fries are 10/10. Clean, friendly service. Free parking, easy in/out. I ate at the Ventura ave location."

"Place was very clean. The burgers were good. I think they're special fries with bacon jam, where my favorite, plenty of seating and fast service. I'm pretty sure they make their own pickles and they grind their own beef which I think is amazing. I wish they had a soda machine. $3 is a lot for a can. And it seems a little pricey $5 to upgrade to a combo and $10 for a smashburger but that being said, everything seemed very fresh. I like the arugula on the burgers"

"Decided to try out this new burger joint in the neighborhood. The food was so delicious and I'll be back for more. So happy to have a small business to support so close to our neighborhood. I feel like if the word spreads they will be able to stay busy so let's keep it going. They even have homemade Pickles at this store. Give it a try in person or even get takeout for the house if you live nearby. Welcome to the Westside."

"OK the burgers and fries at this place are well worth the visit. This is not a romantic sit-down joint, although the outdoor seating at lunch was very nice. The food came out quick and was stellar, though. Simple menu, done right."
