Chubby Cattle BBQ, the all-you-can-eat steak restaurant by David Zhao, is opening in Orlando.

The Chubby Cattle website confirms that the restaurant will open some time in 2026 at Pointe Orlando at 9101 International Drive. No official opening date has been announced.

David Zhao opened Chubby Cattle, serving hot pots with premium ingredients like Wagyu beef, quality seafood, and vegetables. The restaurant became a sensation both for its flavorful meals and for its communal spirit.

The company grew, and Zhao expanded the brand with an offshoot called Chubby Cattle BBQ. The restaurant serves premium Wagyu barbecue in an all-you-can-eat format. The restaurant offers three tiers of Wagyu: American and Australian full blood Wagyu, as well as the highly sought-after Japanese A5 Wagyu. Diners also can east unlimited amounts of sushi, sashimi, seafood, vegetables, and fruits with their meals, along with sides and appetizers like chicken karaage, truffle fries, dumplings, shrimp tempura, and more. This value-driven meal starts at just around $50 for people who sign up for a free Chubby Cattle membership.

Chubby Cattle now has four restaurants in Los Angeles and six additional locations throughout the United States — with more on the way.
