Fajita nachos!
C Z.

Who doesn't love Chevys, right? We sat on the porch, had a great server (older Hispanic gentleman i forget his name sadly-he was great). Monday margarita was yummy! Food was on point. Service was great. Ambiance is always fun, smells like a club tho lol

Fish tacos

This is a must when visiting the Sacramento area. Ambience is laid back with Mexican vibe. Food and drinks are fresh and flavorful. Service was spot on. Highly recommend!

I've been here once with a friend and it was a fun experience. I love the outdoor seating by the river, you get to get fresh air while enjoying your meal. Our food was tasty and the service was good. I would come back again since it's been a while. I would say to plan ahead because parking can sometimes be a little tricky.

Chips and Salsa
Lisa K.

Recently visited this location for happy hour. My watermelon margarita was delicious .The Zucchini was fried to perfection and paired with an avocado ranch sauce, very good ! I will be honest to say our waiter was all over the place talking too fast , lol , and rushing around . Anyway , our ladies group enjoyed the drinks , but there were very mixed reviews on the food which included a taco bar .. Until next time .. Cheers

Dessicated rock-hard lime slice on drink tonight!

This restaurant could greatly benefit from the services of a gigantic power washer. The cutlery and glasses were dirty and stained. The menus were grimy, and at least two were stuck together with salsa. The whole building, including restrooms, seemed old, grimy, and tired. The food was meh, especially for the price. Actually, not even meh. Service was OK. We had a large party, so I guess it is expected that one person would not get their drink or their food when all the others did. The 20% gratuity is normal for large parties, but why was there an additional service charge? The food on my and my friend's plates had the skin of age on top. His tamale tasted frozen. My (cold) enchiladas were tasteless. The tostadas looked as if they had been sitting out too long. The photo shows the actual slice of lime with which the bar staff topped my pina colada this evening. No Mas, Chevy's. We will no longer drive our Chevy to the levee to consume your meals.

I've been to Chevy's on the River several times, and the location is one of the main reasons I keep coming back. Our server was friendly, attentive, and kept our drinks refilled throughout the meal. We ordered the Fresh Mex Sampler, chicken fajitas, and the skirt steak with shrimp. The sampler was perfect for sharing, and the chicken fajitas were pretty spicy. The skirt steak was cooked perfectly. Tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The shrimp was also very good. The rice looked a little dry and the portion was on the smaller side but the vegetables were flavorful and well prepared. We were celebrating a birthday so after ordering dessert the staff came over and sang Happy Birthday which was a nice touch. Just a heads up they no longer do the sombrero tradition. Overall the food was satisfying, the service was great, and the riverfront setting makes this one of my favorite Chevy's locations. I would definitely recommend it.

I've actually only tried this place long ago in my college days and from there I didn't really remember much but now coming as a more mature adult I have to say it's actually a pretty decent place. Came here with a group of coworkers and the service was pretty good. They were very attentive to our orders and made sure to give us lots of refills. The ambience was pretty good there were still other people in the restaurant so I didn't seem super quiet the view of the river is also kind of cool lots of parking if you don't mind walking. The food we ordered was also pretty good I was surprised that everything tasted really well had lots of flavor, wish I grabbed a dessert but it was a work event so skipped it. I would recommend this place 100%

This was my first time visiting this Chevy's to redeem my birthday meal. I loved that it was scenic and on the river. I ended up getting one of the custom entrees that allowed you to choose a taco, enchilada etc The service seemed a bit slow, even though there were seemingly available seats. We were waiting over 30 minutes to be seated on a Monday. They also didn't bring out their usual dessert/singing either. So while the ambiance was nice, the service could be stepped up a bit more.

Nachos were no cheese or sour cream.
Caitlin S.

I ordered from DoorDash today, and unfortunately my order was incorrect. I ordered the steak nachos, but they arrived with no cheese or sour cream. All of the black beans were piled at the bottom, and there was barely any salsa or steak on the nachos. I was really excited to try Chevy's again since it had been a long time, but I was extremely disappointed with the quality of my meal and my overall experience.

The outside area
Markus R.

First of all, wow. The location could not be better. It's very unique in that it almost has a Louisiana bayou/ Xochimilco vibe going on. The river views are absolutely fantastic and could not be in a better place. The only downside is that the parking lot is small and cramped but you should be able to find a spot. Angelita gave amazing service. Her friendliness was so memorable I made sure to get her name. Our food came out rather quickly for a party of our size. The flavor of Chevy's is as close to authentic as you can get. It's a chain so the difference in flavors is going to be minimal. Overall, expect to walk out of here for about $25 a person and you should be good. The views are some of the best I have seen in Sac. Bottom line/TLDR: Angelita was a life saver

Darci K.

Just say no. Seriously! For those that read my reviews, you know I'm not a fan of most chain restaurants, we decided to give Chevys a chance. I haven't been to this restaurant or location in years, so this is definitely the perfect opportunity I called ahead to see if they were busy, and to ensure that we would be able to be seated inside because it's still pretty cold in Sacramento. We were greeted by a confused host, who seated us at a dirty table. Before we actually sat down, we asked if we could have the table cleaned or be seated elsewhere. He ended up moving us to another table that was clean, but questionable. I'd asked about happy hour because it looks like this is one of the few places that has an extended happy hour menu which is always exciting for me We decided to forgo happy hour and just order our meals. They brought chips and salsa to the table. The salsa was incredibly bitter and watery and words cannot describe how bad it really was. The chips were stale, so it made for great combo ( insert major sarcasm) We had to ask for cutlery and napkins because none were placed on the table, as well as asking for water for the same reason. So far, Customer Service has been mediocre. We ordered the "steak "and the large three enchilada platter I will preface this by saying I'm not sure which one was worse. The steak: this has to be without a doubt, the worst piece of me that I've ever seen served at a restaurant. I don't even know what kind of beef this possibly could have been, but definitely was not one that should've been served. Don't let the looks for you. There is no seasoning on it, it tasted like shoe leather, and it made me seriously sad to have to try to eat it. The black beans tasted like someone opened a can and threw them on the plate. Just gross. I always look at rice as one of those indestructible foods. How does anybody really ruin rice?!? Well if you want to find out, this is a place to find out at. The enchiladas: it came with a chili relleno. I was really looking forward to trying this. Like Rice, how does anybody really mess this up. It's supposed to be cheesy and yummy and it was none of that. The actual chili that was used was still hard, I don't know what kind of batter they used, but this was like a floofy egg. It was thick, mushy, and just gross. There wasn't much cheese, and what was stuffed into the chili. I don't even know what that was. Yes, there's cheese or something that was very plastic. He tasting on top. But that's where it was on top. The enchiladas... I don't even know where to begin with us. They were completely inedible. The meat was absolutely horrible. The chicken, I don't even know what to say about it, because the sauce is over the enchiladas tasted like burnt tin. Are the pictures pretty of the food? Sure. But I'm telling you there's horrible things happening on these plates. Same rice and same beans and same bad experience. Overall, this is definitely been one of the worst meals that I've had at what should be a reputable restaurant. The one thing about chain restaurants, is that they're supposed to be consistency. If that's the case, I'm telling you right now, avoid this restaurant! This was over $60 experience gone wrong.

Lisa was a great server. Went during the happy hour for margaritas! We throughly enjoyed our time on the river.

Tortilla soup, delivery style

This will hopefully be read by management, because it's more a constructive criticism post. I've been sick and my brother ordered some tortilla soup to be delivered to my husband and I. I did appreciate that chips and salsa came with the order and that the soup was "deconstructed" into a few containers- the tortilla strip toppings were on the side. However, once we sat down to eat it- what a disappointment. I have never had a soup so salty it was inedible. Not even from a Chinese restaurant. We poured it back into pot and added almost a whole container of low sodium chicken broth. It was still inedible. Maybe if we would've strained the Chevy's broth first and then added our own broth, it would've been better. Sadly, it was too late to do that. I wonder if anyone else had the same experience with the tortilla soup. Seriously, like sipping soup made with a saltwater broth. Not good. Please do better. If we had been dining there, we definitely would have sent it back. One star because it was hot on delivery, and the separation of the tortilla strip topping was thoughtful and appreci

Do they still sell bags of chips and salsa?

Yes

When is outdoor seating available for reservations or is it just whatever table that's available (inside or out) at the time of your reservation?

They are currently not open for outdoor seating. I called this morning, I only want to go if I can sit outside. I was told they are not currently serving outdoors because of the heat. HOWEVER, my son went there a few weeks ago, and they were not… 

Are there keto options?

Yes, my gf is hard core keto and she loves the fajita salad. I eat all of the chips of course!

Snug is themed around a modernized interpretation of an English hunting lodge--it's dark, moody, and elegant. It has a charming front patio that is made quaint by the high walls and an outdoor fountain separating you from the hustle and bustle of the rest of the bars in the area. Upon entering, you are transported into a dimly lit romance story. The Snug specializes in delightful cocktails that will wow your taste buds! Their menu is both seasonal and rotates regularly so it's a fun treat to swing by and find out what their currently making. One of my favorite recurring items is what they call a Hoosker Doo, which is often a spirit and amaro or apperitif. You can't go wrong with the Carribean Princess! Definitely consider Snug on your next date night or want something a bit different!

The food wasn't good at all, didn't live up to our expectations. The mimosa flight tasted so warm and watered down that we couldn't even drink it. The steak was super thin so we couldn't distinguish if it was cooked medium well. We all agreed that my breakfast burrito was the only one that tasted good out of the 2 dishes we ordered. The chicken didnt even taste like chicken either, tasted artificial. I thought my friend ordered a pita bread with tortilla and beans etc. The bathroom is disgusting, super dirty, not kept clean. Toilet paper everywhere, toilet dirty etc. The restaurant looks pristine but once you go to the restroom, super gross and makes you rethink if why a restaurant looks so bougie but can't keep their restroom clean. Most likely we won't come back. I think people come here for the river view.

This place hit every weekend interest on our list. Good drinks, great food, and such. Good atmosphere. Even though we were on a date night, even with kids and families running around and enjoying themselves the energy was perfect. We enjoyed the live music, the beer and cocktails we enjoyed, the pizza was yummy, and we could relax enough to have great conversation without having to worry about someone around us causing chaos or acting out. The setup is nicely curated with options for drinks and food. Tables for sitting and dining or fire pits and lawn chairs for leisure. The space was clean and easy to navigate. Check-in was a breeze and no pressure. Overall very very good experience. This will be a place we come back to for future date nights or bring our kiddos with us for special events. It's family-friendly and comfortable without feeling overwhelmed with kids for those who are on a kid-free outing. Idk how they manage to have this balanced, but they do and it's great!

They check your ID as you walk in and we had a reserved table. You can order food and beverages with a QR code at the table or walk up to the bar or kitchen ordering area. They also host food trucks some nights. We ordered and our server was absolutely atrocious. She botched our order and had the audacity to ask if I ordered correctly. I attempted to show her and she walked off. She ended up coming back with even more attitude and I told her she was fired for the night from serving us. She didn't have a care in the world since she was tipped well to do bare minimum work. The manager offered to refund the gratuity; I'm not that type of person, but we're in no rush to go back and it's a place we all enjoy. To add insult to injury she was drinking at the bar and didn't have a care in the world. Not a great look for her or the business. The pizza was pretty good as always. The chicken wings were a bit overcooked but still tasty. They likely would've been even better had they been cooked properly. My little one enjoyed her burger and fries. My wife enjoyed her margaritas and the little ones enjoyed their Shirley Temples. It was a disappointing visit; hopefully next time will be better. I'm a notoriously good tipper and I'm starting to detest tipping ahead on these apps and kiosks as it has lead to mediocrity at so many places. It's gotten to the point where I've started considering carrying cash and not tipping ahead. Hopefully Drake's and their not so smart employee learned their lesson.

Fantastic Spot To "Pregame" Shows @ Goldfields Next Door…read more SITREP We descended upon the Tack Room an hour before our show for "Ally The Piper" (both the classical AND heavy metal bagpiper extraordinaire) began her show! THE SETUP Goldfields is a charming, rustic country-western stylized saloon that serves up beer at good prices. But we weren't interested in beer and wanted quality cocktails. Hence, our pivot next door to the Tack Room! QUALITY COCKTAILS & DRINKS!

The other coffee drink that surprised me was the Revolver. I always forget about what a good pairing orange and coffee is, and I'll be taking this one back home with me to try! Every other drink we tried was delicious in some unique way. The Pho drink was savory and surprising, the New York Sour was rich and flavorful, and the Practical Move was refreshing.

I…read moresincerely apologize if I'm spelling her name incorrectly, but I believe it was Arianna or Aranna. She has long blonde hair, is very soft-spoken, kind, and was incredibly understanding. I'm sure the staff will know exactly who I'm referring to. Unfortunately, before our party, my mother had a very upsetting interaction with one of the younger staff members while simply trying to get information about the party. My mother lives out of state and was helping pay for her grandson's 9th birthday, so she was only trying to make sure everything was taken care of. She absolutely did not deserve to be yelled at or made to feel uncomfortable. I also personally had a difficult experience with the front desk staff between approximately 9:00 and 10:30. Simple questions could not be answered without asking someone else, and at one point it took going through three different employees before someone could give me an answer. The customer service at the front desk definitely needs improvement. With such a busy environment and children and families everywhere, I really believe the younger staff need more training, guidance, and supervision on how to communicate professionally with customers. However, the way this manager handled the situation completely changed the direction of our experience. She listened. She was calm, compassionate, and genuinely concerned about how my mother had been treated. Most importantly, she didn't dismiss what happened or make excuses. She took responsibility as a manager, told us the situation would be addressed with the employees involved, and then went out of her way to give us additional time so we could regain some of the time and enjoyment that had been taken away by the earlier situation. That meant SO much to me. Instead of allowing one negative interaction to overshadow my son's birthday, she helped turn the experience around. She made my mother feel heard and respected again, and she gave our family the opportunity to move past that stressful moment and get back to what we were there for -- celebrating my son and making memories. That is what good management looks like. Problems can happen anywhere, especially in a busy establishment, but how management responds makes all the difference. She handled the situation with grace, professionalism, empathy, and kindness. Between her stepping in and Kari being absolutely incredible with our party, what could have easily become a stressful and disappointing experience turned into an AMAZING birthday for my son and our family. Thank you so much for taking care of my mother, listening to our concerns, and making things right. I truly hope management recognizes you for the way you handled everything. You turned a moment of distress into a moment where we could relax, have fun, and enjoy the celebration again.
