Every burger at Chubbfathers is big and juicy, which is just the way we like 'em! Its Zydeco Burger is a spicy twist on a traditional bacon cheeseburger with lettuce, tomato, cajun horseradish, and onion straws on top. You'll be dreaming about this burger long after you take your last bite.

Head over to Tommy's Burger Stop to try one of its weekly specials, our favorite being the Battered Husband Burger, which includes Swiss, Cajun-battered fried jalapeños, and garlic jalapeño aioli, for those who can handle the spice.

We like big burgers, and we cannot lie. If you're looking for a burger challenge, try the Bus #36 at Bomber Burger.
