A Los Angeles-based restaurant chain known for all-you-can-eat wagyu beef and technology-driven dining plans to open its first Sacramento-area location in Roseville.<\/p>\n

Chubby Cattle BBQ is slated to take over the former Tahoe Joe\u2019s restaurant<\/a> at 1905 Taylor Road, according to Roseville building records and the company\u2019s website. The 7,100-square-foot building has sat vacant since Tahoe Joe\u2019s closed in 2022 after more than two decades in business. The steakhouse was the last remaining Tahoe Joe\u2019s location in the capital region.<\/p>\n

Roseville issued permits in April for a tenant improvement project to remodel the building, which is across from Golfland Sunsplash and near Akame Sushi at Taylor Road and Roseville Parkway.<\/p>\n

Chubby Cattle\u2019s website lists the Roseville restaurant as \u201ccoming soon,\u201d but did not provide an opening date.<\/p>\n

The company is expanding to Roseville, where permits were issued in April to remodel the former Tahoe Joe\u2019s restaurant for a new location. Katy Kildee The Detroit News via TNS <\/p>\n

Founded in 2015 by David Zhao and Haibin Yang, Chubby Cattle is part of Chubby Group, a fast-growing hospitality company that blends Asian dining concepts with technology such as robot servers, conveyor belts and immersive projection rooms.<\/p>\n

The company operates barbecue, hot pot, shabu-shabu and skewer restaurants across the United States. Chubby Cattle BBQ locations offer diners multiple all-you-can-eat tiers featuring American, Australian and Japanese wagyu beef that guests cook at tabletop grills.<\/p>\n

The company describes its restaurants as combining \u201cauthentic Asian flavors with state-of-the-art dining technology.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was not immediately clear which Chubby Cattle concept will open in Roseville, though city permit records describe the project as a Korean barbecue restaurant.<\/p>\n

Chubby Cattle has expanded rapidly in recent years. Fortune reported in 2022 the company had raised $28 million and was using technology to modernize traditional hot pot and barbecue dining experiences.<\/p>\n

A Chubby Cattle BBQ restaurant opened in Pleasanton<\/a> last year drew lengthy waits for its premium wagyu offerings and interactive dining format, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.<\/p>\n

At Chubby Cattle in Detroit, diners order thinly sliced beef<\/a> from a tablet at their table, then cook it themselves over tabletop grills. In Detroit, diners pay a set price for 90 minutes of all-you-can-eat wagyu, then order cuts of American, Australian and Japanese beef from a tablet at their table to cook themselves. Depending on the location, meals are offered in multiple pricing tiers and include side dishes, desserts and drinks such as milk tea, turning dinner into an upscale experience.<\/p>\n

The company operates Chubby Cattle restaurants in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Chicago, New York and Atlanta. The Roseville restaurant is listed as \u201ccoming soon\u201d alongside future openings in Santa Clara and Milpitas.<\/p>\n
