    Today's episode of eating my way through Arlington - after work edition Chev Mex was the pick for happy hour, and it was the right call. Ten of us rolled in after work and managed to feed everyone - drinks included - for under $250, which is impressive. We went full family style, with the table covered in tacos, shareable apps, and plenty of plates to pass around. I'll admit, I was a little hungry, so I started digging in before I took the pictures - funny, judge me if you want. Service started a little slow, but once it found its rhythm, the staff kept us well-supplied. The vibe was relaxed but lively enough to shake off the office day. Plenty of room to talk, laugh, and eat without feeling rushed. I eat. I judge. The fork stops with me

    While walking the freezing cold streets of Pentagon City, I passed by this place with my family. I suggested we get out of the cold for a few. The place is enormous and didn't have too many people here yet which was perfect. We got here right in time for happy hour with ten minutes before it started. I got my family and I each a margarita and if we didn't already have lunch, we would've probably done their happy hour. They had a decent happy hour menu for food and drinks overall.

    We stopped by Chevys because it brought back memories of when it was the go to spot and the kids loved getting fresh tortillas from the tortilla machine. Sadly, the machine is gone but now they make them by hand. We arrived about an hour before closing and sat in the bar area since three busloads of young people had just arrived for what looked like buffet style dining. Our waiter was extremely helpful as I ordered the mixed grill (my Chevy's favorite). I joked that I like it super spicy and he mentioned they could roast jalapeno peppers on the side so I added them. When my grill arrived, the waiter set it on fire for a great presentation. Once the flames died down, I dug in and found the jalapenos were extra spicy. I loved it! I took home a whole and a quarter portion of leftovers and enjoyed them for dinner the next day. Happy hour was also available making it all a great experience.

    CHICKEN QUESADILLA

    We love Chevys and go here for happy hour pretty often. My go to order is the births tacos for $8. It comes with 3 tacos and the flavor is amazing for a great price point. I also get the carne asada fries which is also $8 and I usually have some leftover to take home. We share the chicken quesadillas which come in 4 and is plenty for dinner for two of us. Drinks are $4 (rail) and $6 for slightly fancier cocktails. I can't recommend this place enough since the food and service is amazing and the ambience is great too with music. They also have sports playing on their TVs so it's nice to watch sports sometimes while having dinner

    Been a long time since I've been to Chevys after moving away from the DMV area. Place was pretty packed. unfortunately the only thing that was good was the appetizers. The main dishes lacked flavor. This place used to be pretty good if I'm remembering correctly. Hopefully they just had a bad day.

    Went for an office holiday lunch with a group of 13 on a Tuesday and it worked out great! There was plenty of space for us and still a lot of available space. Great place for large groups! We had two servers for our table who were very attentive which helped keep things moving. No one complained about their food and those right around me are every bit on their plates. We started with nachos and two Fresh Mex sampler that was good. I had a spicy pineapple margarita that was perfect and the pick two: pork tamale and beef birria taco that had a little kick. Food was standard, nothing wrong with it but nothing extra special.

    We were so excited to have Chevy's because all of the locations in our hometown closed over a decade ago. The waitress was very knowledgeable about gluten free and cross contamination, which we greatly appreciated since everyone in my party is GF. They changed the chips and they are not as good.

    Came here for our 8th grade trip and this staff HANDLED IT! We had almost 200 guests! So well organized from beginning to end and the food was good too! Definitely suggest this spot, even if you have a large group for a dinner! Staff even played games with our kids. Will return when in town.

    Always courteous service and not too crowded nor loud despite being in a prime location. The management and wait staff are all well trained and friendly. The food is occasionally borderline disappointing, but most dishes are average to slightly above average; and I would generally say, as someone who orders at least 5 but up to 10 dishes whenever I go, at least 1 or 2 really hit. Why do I order so many? Because the 3 - 9pm daily Happy Hour has some great deals! Further yet, they have an internal rewards/birthday system; and are on InKind as well. InKind is a very useful value-added application that I am happy to answer any questions about in private message exchange. Crab and shrimp enchiladas are the best non-Happy Hour menu item to order, I'd wager. And the signature Chevys corncakes that come along with most entrees are always a great albeit way too small delight. I think if the restaurant downsized their overhead space, they may be able to focus a little more on food quality and experimenting with new products. From my estimation, the brand and offerings are solid but stale, and need to improve upon its core to attract new clientele. It is an unassuming and perhaps not widely known brand in a space which is increasingly less visible and traversed. This is one of my go-to places whenever I stop by the area.

    Beef Enchilada, Pork Enchilada, Rice and Beans
    David H.

    Solid Tex-Max place that I used to visit all the time at when I lived nearby but now I only get to check this place out occasionally. The frozen margs are really tasty here, especially the pineapple coconut margarita. The chips and salsa are good as ever and the salsa has that enjoyable smoky flavor that you don't get most places. My enchilada combo was also tasty and I enjoyed the beef enchilada and the pork one. It also came with a large portion of rice and black beans. This was a lot of food and I was barely able to finish everything. Service was fast and friendly as usual and the bar is a great place to relax with friends. This place is worth checking you if you're in the area and want some Tex-Mex and a tasty frozen margarita.

    Street Tacos
    Elise N.

    If you go on a tuesday, do the taco bar- they load up the tacos and you can get your food immediately. I didnt realize this so I got the street tacos and they tasted alright but took over 30 minutes to get the food and the toppings weren't nearly as much as what was given at the taco bar. The corn tortillas weren't anything special but the meats were seasoned nicely. The chips and salsa were fantastic. The house margarita was a basic house margarita that was enjoyable. I'd return for the taco bar & happy hour.

They had a cute outdoor seating space, however it was cold and rainy so we couldn't sit there. We had the fried green tomatoes, snd both got the salmon with two sides of your choice. I got Brussels sprouts and potatoes. She got Mac and cheese and salad. The salmon was perfectly cooked and potatoes were crispy and salty on the outside and creamy potato on the inside. Yum!! We sat there until they were sweeping around our feet and they were very nice about it even then. I rarely close down a place these days, so I was grateful they were accommodating.

    Let me start with the good. Our waitress, Samika, greeted us…read morewith a smile and took great care of us. She was attentive, friendly, and kept things moving. The wait wasn't long, and the food came out in a reasonable amount of time. They also offer a Monday-Friday happy hour from 4 PM to 6 PM, which is worth noting. Now that we've covered the positives... I came with my family, as we usually go out to eat on Sundays after church. I ordered the shrimp and grits, my sister had the dark‑meat chicken with fries, that unfortunately had to be switched when they brought her the wrong white meat, chicken and fries. My granddaughter got sausage and grits. There are no pictures of the food because I don't recommend you come here if you're looking for real southern food. I personally won't be back and won't waste storage space on disappointment. The shrimp and grits....the portion was so small, I thought they accidentally brought me the sample plate. It should honestly be listed under "Kids Menu". The menu says it comes with chorizo pork sausage, but instead of sliced pieces like normal restaurants, it was crumbled so tiny I thought it was seasoning dust. When I asked about it, they told me it's "put in very small so you don't know it's there." Well... congratulations. Mission accomplished. You get six shrimp, and they claim the dish is "spicy". Please, the spice level was somewhere between tap water and air. Then there was the chicken dish. I tasted it, and my sister will give you the full breakdown in her own review. The skin had a nice honey flavor, I'll give them that. But once you get past the skin, the chicken was out here playing hide‑and‑seek with the seasoning. Completely bland. The fries were fine, not great, not terrible, just fries. Now, the bathroom: I was unimpressed. When you walk in, there were paper towels on the floor and toilet paper in places it shouldn't be. The handicap stall does have a baby‑changing table and some extra paper towel and tissue supplies, which is helpful. However, the toilet seat covers in the handicap stall need to be replaced, even though the other stall had some available. Overall, the restroom did not feel well‑maintained. Great service can't make up for food and facilities that simply don't deliver. This was a disappointing visit, and I won't be back.

When we made the reservation in advance, we called to ask if happy hour was everywhere or just at the bar; they said everywhere, so we booked a table. Plot twist, it's only at the bar / downstairs :))) We arrived 15 minutes early, so while they got our table ready, we ordered at the bar. 5 stars for the bartender. If I could review her, the host, and the happy hour prices in isolation, I would! They moved us upstairs, we sat down, and immediately saw the menus were different. We asked the gentleman bringing waters about happy hour and he sent the waiter over. The waiter, with about 2% helpfulness, shared that happy hour is only downstairs. I mentioned that we had called in advance to ask. We asked if it would be possible to have that menu or perhaps move. The conversation felt like pulling teeth. He said, with much dismissiveness, it was up to the host downstairs to move and if they had availability and left. (Fair, we move, he doesn't get his tip. An alternative? Give us the happy hour menu, still get your tip. Better yet, just be slightly helpful?) The host downstairs found us a table but shared it was booked at 6:15 so we needed to be in and out. It was no problem because we had arrived before 5 (early, remember?). Although, it took 15 minutes (I timed it!) for anyone to come bring waters or address us as their table. A little hard to operate with urgency when no one takes your order!! I got up, told the host stand, and they sent a server over, and he proceeded to come back all of three times. We also had to flag him down to get our check, while we sat with empty waters that were never once refilled. We had pizza, cod sliders, and half orders of aglio e olio pasta. The cod sliders were more breadding than fish, but the flavor was decent. The pasta was delicious. No five star Italian meal, but it hit the spot and the portion was plentiful. I didn't try the pizza but it was 12 inches, piping hot, and the two eating it couldn't finish it. The food came out quickly and hot. I think we spent under or just about $100 for four folks to have dinner + drinks, so the prices are really solid. Perhaps you get what you pay for though? Both of our male servers seemed annoyed to be dealing with us and mostly unhelpful. Noteworthy mention: there was a female server who was kind enough to bring us a brown paper bag for our to go box. She was running around and her tables seemed well cared for. Disappointed in my experience and the customer service.

Also dishes had to be put on top of the menu because in order to order additional food, you need to leave at least one copy of the menu at the table.
