Chuy's Restaurants Reviews

I really love the happy hour here! Good drinks and free nacho bar. The staff is friendly and the food is great!! The parking can get tricky at peak hours but other than that it is one of my favorite restrauants in Austin.

Pretty great place. 50's Tex Mex atmosphere. They had a nacho bar which is definitely a plus. Food came out on time on a very hot plate. Food quality was right for the price.

Amazing food and spectacular service! Fun environment.

We really enjoyed our lunch at Chuy's. The food was hot & delicious, the drinks hit the spot of this hot day and the service was great. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Restaurant Mexican specialties. Tested: "chicken fajitas" good, "Elvis Presley combo" good, "Margarita regular frozen" excellent.

Great food and drinks. The frozen watermelon margarita was especially good. I had the fajitas and left a very happy man.

People who did not have their whole party got seated and my party didn't because we had one person on the way. One guy even went up to the hostess and said, "can I look for my party? They're waiting for me."

The waiter took forever to take our orders and whenever we asked for something he ignored us. The only thing that was delicious were the margaritas and how could anybody mess up alcohol? Food was gross. Never going back. The staff REALLY doesn't want to work there.

This is store #1 for Chuys and is just as quirky as you would expect. It can get VERY crowded since it is next to Zilker. While it takes care of everyone, the main clientele range from teenagers to UT students to couples with young kids (ex-UT students?). Because of all of these things, service can be spotty. Food is normal Chuys and from my perspective sliding towards more corporate Tex-Mex. If your destination is Barton Springs with a side of Texmex then this is your place. If you are looking for destination Texmex, there are better spots.

Great casual atmosphere and delicious cobb salad and enchiladas, and cocktails. The strawberry mojito is amazing and delivers a good buzz. There can be a bit of a wait so plan on being there early to get a good table. It can get crowded at times. Go to this place and you'll come out believing that Elvis lives!

Old standard, always great food and usually faster than expected.

When Chuy's says they serve food, "As big as yo face," they mean it. I ordered a burrito and when it came out, I was so shocked. It was huge! Their pricing is great for how big of portions you get and their food taste amazing. I will definitely be coming back here.

Excellent food, drinks and customer service in Austin Texas. I'll be back.

We haven't been here in many, many years and the food and service were still excellent. The Blue Corn Tortilla chicken enchiladas are still delicious.

I absolutely adore this place. The decor is Elvis themed. Great waiting service. The food is always hot and the extra amazing with jalepeno ranch.

Austin original Chuys, Love its eclectic designs,casual style, funny Pop culture t-shirts, Great Tex Mex, Great Happy hour and Best Margaritas!

The New Mexican martini is spicy and will burn a hole right through all your inner demons.

Great Tex-Mex! Fun decor. Check out the Elvis shrine.

Absolutely delicious! My boss and I had a 4 night business trip to Austin and we ate here twice! Friendly atmosphere! Great food and margaritas! I highly recommend it!

Great food and great drinks. Who doesn't love a salsa bar?

Great restaurant wonderful wait staff Incredible food

Never a disappointment. Always fresh and delicious!

The food is great and the atmosphere of this place is amazing! The staff are super friendly as well

Pancho's, fajita chicken with pickled jalapenos, sour cream, guac and jalapeno ranch. Two meals for the price of one, you're welcome.

Delicious food, amazing service, and the manager was extremely accommodating to my needs. Disability friendly.

Had a HORRIBLE experience with a waitress here. She was very rude, hostile and had poor service from the start. The entire time that we (4 of us) were at the restaurant, she acted like we were a major inconvenience for her. She never smiled at us, she acted like she was avoiding us and she seemed to be in a hurry to get away from us. My friend ordered fajitas (during slow time) and when he asked where his food was 45 minutes later, the lady said Oh I m sorry I didn t put in your order because I thought you guys were leaving . My entire group was Deaf, so we all communicated through a notepad, our phones, and through gestures. We accommodated our waitress instead of her accommodating us- at the end of the conversation with our waitress, my friend was understandably upset about his food not coming, and told her he didn t want to read her next note, he wanted to leave. Instead of respecting his wishes, the waitress literally slammed her note in front of him as to force him to read her excuse to why she didn t put in his order??? Then she furiously walked away. Awful service. Very discriminating behavior. Probably never going to another Chuys because of this waitress. We reported this to the manager but unsure if the waitress will get proper training or a warning to improve her interactions because that was definitely the WORST experience I ve ever had in a restaurant.

Chuy's remains one of my favorite TexMex options in the country, with a strong menu and friendly staff. Their happy hour is always a hit!

I go to Chuy's for the spicy Mexican martini's. Best fajita's in town and the steak burrito is my favorite. If you have an itch for something spicy, the Boom Boom Enchiladas are Hot and wonderful.

It's hard to find great customer service anymore. However, our waitress was super awesome! Very attentive and went above and beyond with a very kind and happy attitude. Next time we go, I hope we get seated in her section again.
Bussers were quick to clean up tables around us. The bathroom was clean.
The four stars are for her, minus one for the kitchen being slow.

What a find this place was. The food was incredible - the staff was super friendly and always timely. Would recommend to anyone visiting Austin, and I d definitely be back to eat here again!

Placed my order online, after waiting an extra 15 mins after it was suppose to arrive I tried to call and ask when it would be finished. Javier anwser and told me he wasn't the kitchen staff and I need to just keeping waiting. HORRIBLE consumer service!

You can NEVER go wrong with Chuy's. Love this place!

Very good tacos .chips fresh salsa fresh was veey delicious .i will b bak today for dinner n driks

This is a nicer Chuys. The decor is very much like any other Chuys in town. The food is good and decently priced. I typically get the chicken enchiladas with queso on top. The Chuy-changa is another favorite. You can pick queso as your sauce for everything on the menu, by the way - and that is the way to go. Definitely not for the diet consious.

TOO LOUD! WAITRESS NEVER BROUGHT OUR CREAMY JALAPENO DIP AFTER ASKING 4 TIMES! TABLE WABBLED THE WHOLE TIME WE WERE THERE. WE ENDED UP TAKING OUR FOOD TO GO. BABY A'S AND CHUYS GET THE SAME RATING FROM ME.

Maybe most overated food in Austin, although close Hula Hut would be a close second.

We love Chuy's when we just need some fast and easy Mexican food. Flautas!

Good food. Service is variable depending on time of day. Great location.

Hefty food, but a very popular local chain. They mexican martini is pretty good.

I like this restaurant, I haven't been in a long time. It was busy, but we were seated right away. The services was okay, I asked for a lemonade but I got Water with lemon instead. The food though was amazing, always worth the wait.

Steak burrito is one of the best that I've ever eaten

Classic Austin experience. Epic free nacho bar for happy hour. Amazing texas sized martinis. Havr to try the creamy jalapeno sauce by request.

Super cool place to eat I'm a tattoo artist from San angelo and the waitress I got was inked up and very professional and super smart when it came to giving advice on the menu.. definitely be bk

Lots of tourists and there is better Tex Mex on the Eastside. I promise.

Good different mexican food. And good price for the quantity.

Chuy's is great Everytime. It's a staple of Austin dining.

Best dang Tex-Mex in town! Love the Boom-boom sauce.

Oh so good... And the jalepeno ranch. Keep it coming.

Awesome Tex Mex food with an Elvis theme. Eclectic atmosphere and menu. Huge portions. Will come back.

If I could rate with a negative 5 I would. Service is ALWAYS TERRIBLE...NO MATTER WHAT. Plus, the white male manager working tonight is just as much of an inconsiderate jerk as always. Nothing like trying to talk to someone and getting eyes rolled at while they ignore you...from management! If you hate your job that much...move on!

Came here with my family from out of town. The host squeezed us in a really small, tight booth in the corner. Uncomfortably sitting up against my brother, I'm sure I'm carrying his baby now. The food is actually good, if you like eating out of a kiddy pool.

Elvis green chili chicken fried chicken with boom boom sauce (green chili queso) a fried egg and avacados, a must try!

Excellent delicious food..best in Austin ...Love the food...

This is the original location, on Barton Springs. Showing its age in some places, but the food is still top-notch --not the run-of-the-mill Tex-Mex that we have more than enough of. I particularly appreciate their veggie enchiladas. Most Tex-Mex restaurants now have spinach enchiladas, but most places don't really put much thought or effort into making them good. Chuy's makes 'em special--and doesn't charge any more than the places that make 'em ordinary. Drinks seem overpriced to me, but then they seem overpriced everywhere; I guess that''s how restaurants make their money. My wife ordered a chicken salad, and the chicken was really good--smoky and tender, but not mushy. Veggies were fresh and tasty.

Great Tex Mex food. I like the fish tacos. They've got a wonderful sauce on them. Wait staff is friendly. It looks like they have a lot of fun at work. Parking is a small issue at the Barton Springs Rd location. About 10 free spots on front and a few more 20 in back. Then there's metered parking on the street.

A must eatery in Austin. The Texas Tini will not let you down and make sure you ask for a side of boom boom sauce :)

Amazing texmex , excellent service. The Queso was a hit and prices are really fair.

Good TexMex, Austin classic..recommended by multiple friends.

Waiting for food and eating chips. Don't forget to ask for their creamy jalapeno dip, it's to die for.
