This place used to be amazing.. but now it's just a boring chain of vanilla every day Tex mex. They used to have tributes to Elvis on his birthday, free cake, and discounts if you dressed up as Elvis. They did away with all of that and the Elvis fried chicken, and now you can literally visit any of the million Tex mex restaurants and you'll get the same exact food. Big fat giant thumbs down to you Chuys!!! read more

After a worst and disaster experience, I mailed them as they asked me in the reply, and someone actually reached out and we went today same location for dinner, Food was amazing, our server Andrew was phenomenal, wish I could give him more than 5 starts, and it's not like he knew we had a bad experience, so he was good, because we dint mention him anything:)) holding off a star to see if they'll be consistent!! read more

Great spot to grab lunch or dinner! We had a team dinner after a long work day. Their chips and salsa is delicious and not to forget the jalapeño ranch. Ordered Veggie enchiladas and those were amazing. Tres leches cake is just spot on! Definitely a must try here. The vibe is just right. Ample parking space but might get crowded in evenings. We had a reservation but still had to wait for about 15-20mins. But food was amazing! Plenty of options for vegetarians. Must visit when in Austin! read more

Great spot to grab lunch or dinner! My boyfriend and I worked up an appetite after shopping all day. We popped in for lunch, there were parties outside waiting but luckily we were able to get seated right away. The dinning area wasn't too loud, however we did pop in during rush hour so everyone looked busy. Once we arrive to the table we were immediately greeted with chips and salsa. The salsa isn't the best but I recommend getting the queso! Our server was very kind and knowledgeable about the menu. I don't eat meat/chicken so the veggie enchiladas were already calling my name. The food was flavorful and delicious. My boyfriend loved the shrimp tacos, however he is a picky eater and didn't like the beans. Overall we had a positive dining experience! read more

Ol reliable. Food was great as usual, the service was solid but it took a while for us to get seated. Ambiance is the classic dive bar esque Chuys vibe. Always love coming here and have been a regular since I was a kid! I got the big as your face burrito with bean and cheese. The boom boom sauce on top was great and pro tip: Chuys leftovers taste better than when you're full and still eating read more

Ambiance: This was our time eating at Chuy's. We went for dinner on a Wednesday and there was a wait. I can't remember how long but it wasn't bad. The restaurant is brightly decorated which I loved. They have a bar area with seating separate from the dining area. Food: my husband ordered waters, and nachos with beef fajita. The waitress brought out the drinks with chips and salsa.Then out came the nachos-Yum! I had the fajita plate with rice and refried beans and flour tortillas. Our daughter had the quesadilla plate and my husband asked for just the fajita chicken and cheese inside the t Service: We were seated in booth and Issac was our waiter. He was very polite, the service was quick and he was very attentive. read more

Chuy's - Elvis and tortilla soup!!! - Tex-Mex Near Me - Austin, Texas

It's 100% TexMex, and good quality and very consistent across 15 years of eating here. The food and the decent price is always worth it. Always a great place to hang out and grab a bite or get the family out! It's run well but also still old school- Sometimes they get busy or make a mistake. You'll be greeted with chips, queso/creamy, and drinks/soda/water quickly. Then if they're busy, just enjoy the relaxed patio or lively inside until the waiter greets you, friendly and efficient. Recently, we had a very bad to-go experience- Called the restaurant, had to drive all the way back, but then were met with a refund and a gift certificate. They wanted to correct their mistake and were very professional. Very kind employees and manager, that left us feeling heard and happy to return again. read more

Horrible experience - someone at another table had a birthday and the servers came out yelling like they needed help or they had been injured instead of normal Happy Birthday cheering. It was a very confusing and completely uncalled for in the age of mass public violence. After that experience, no one at our table was in the mood to eat, but Our server was fabulous and got us to-go boxes right after this. This is not a critique on the food or the service, but rather on management for allowing such irresponsible and inappropriate behavior in a family dinner environment. read more

We have always loved the Pork Burrito. It used to be available on the week-ends only but since COVID they haven't put it back on the menu except for a few weeks this spring. It truly is the best thing on the menu and is what kept us returning for years. We suggest that you bring it back just for the week-ends like before. We have eaten there a bunch of times during it's few week come back this spring. Even purchased some for our freezer in case it never returns. That would be a big mistake. We have so many friends who feel the same way we do. We always go to the Chuy's in Round Rock and hope the pork burrito comes back so we will continue to eat there. Thank you. The service has been very good and we love the ambiance. Thanks for your attention. read more

Nothing has changed and the food is as good as ever under Darden. I've met the OG owner Mark, and was worried something might change with the OG scratch sauces, but the Boom Boom is still the same and I enjoyed the usual fun ambiance as well. I had typical and amazing service at the bar today. Thank you so much for letting me relax and slowly order. I always feel so happy with your service. I'll be back in 6 months after I return from Dubai. read more

Chuy's has been a staple of my cuisine since I can remember; and while their quality has slightly declined in recent memory, the best parts about their menu, service and brand as a whole have remained the same and I'm a big fan. I was especially pleased with the quality of service from a true queen named Lee, who served me chips and creamy jalapeño at the bar while I was waiting for my table. Excellent hospitality that improved my experience! read more

The food was good. Old school Austin had a secret sauce, not on the menu. I had some questions about sauce/ salsas. Cam was sent over WOW! EXTRAORDINARY customer service. Cam explained all, bringing back a plate full of all sauces! I identified the old school original secret as the one they serve with a traditional chunky red tomato salsa. All was delicious. He surely saved the day we had an obviously new waitress, no silverware, no napkins until we asked after food was served. We had to ask for everything normal at a restaurant. We were still under Cams' energetic spell! Atmosphere is chill menu was limited but the chicken flauta plate was perfectly prepared. read more

Well heck! My TGIF at Chuy's has turned into my What's Chuy's going to get wrong this week? I ordered boom boom sauce and instead I received creamy jalapeño ranch dressing.

However, when I order a specific sauce AND it is listed correctly on my receipt then I expect to get exactly what was ordered - ho hum read more

Chuy's - Tex-Mex Near Me - Austin, Texas

We went to this location Wednesday April 28, 2026 at 6:44pm. It's sad that two kids maybe 18 years old each are being allowed to run the entire establishment. Specifically, the boy and girl working the hostess stand. We requested a table for two and not a booth. Got on the waiting list and waited patiently for our table to be ready. The female hostess then attempted to seat us in a round booth that would have held 7 persons. When we explained we had specifically requested a table, she and the young gentleman chatted quietly and she then informed us that all the tables were closed and it was a booth or we could go back on the waiting list. However, two tables had customers. They informed us that they didn't have the staff to handle the tables. Neither of the kids could comprehend simply have the waiter that was up for the booth next walk 5 feet and serve us at a table. Neither one had any common sense and could not understand the simple concept. Every booth but one was full. We then informed the hostesses boy and girl that we refused to go back on their waiting list as they suggested if we wanted to eat at a table, that we would simply leave and go to another restaurant. They girl started laughing and said "okay". My question is, why are two young kids being allowed to run a large establishment of such and cause the company to loose revenue?????? No manager anywhere in sight nor was one available. Interesting in that we see these numerous posts on tipping and wait staff not being tip or receiving very little tip. Service starts at the hostess stand. Trust me. We will spend our money else where. Too many eating places in this area to deal with such non-sense. read more

** Ordered delivery ** Packaging was good except for the nachos which looked like the box that they came in dropped. Taco's were OK. I liked that they came with toppings to garnish and the sauce was good but the meat was a bit tough and wasn't tender. Had to chew hard through it. My favorite part of my meal was the plain nacho chips and queso cheese. Didn't finish everything else i bought. Overall food was underwhelming . Not sure if delivery had something to do with it but I definitely wouldn't recommend this place. read more

Bam! Just awesome Tex-Mex. All the standard favs. Burritos, enchiladas, tacos, fajitas, and... yes they do have salads with a TexMex flair. I will say the Boom Boom sauce makes anything spicy good without blowing your head off. Many menu options to pick from. Service is attentive without being over the top. The ambiance is well.... interesting. Cars, dog pic, wooden fish deco and of course a shrine to Elvis. It's all good. We've been to several locations and all have been terrific. read more

Chuy's is great and despite being a chain, still feels about as Austin as Austin gets. I love this location because it's a little hidden away and the parking lot is huge. Came on a Saturday lunch and there was plenty of space. My favorite appetizer is honestly just their chips and salsa + creamy jalepeno dip. The salsa has some serious kick (which I love) and the creamy jalepeno dip is the absolute best. Drench everything in it. For food, I highly recommend their fajitas. Pro tip: if you don't need the sizzling platter in front of you, their tacos al carbon with fajita beef is the cheaper version. Less tortillas, less sizzle but tastes the same more or less and you get all the accompaniments either way. Very well seasoned. Amazingly, Chuy's prices haven't really changed that much over the years either, so in the current inflation state, great way to take out the family but not break the bank. read more

We ate outside. It was a cute little area. I was able to take my pup with me which is always a plus. I ordered the Panchos with fajita chicken. The chicken had a great flavor. Unfortunately it was a little dry, this could be due to the way they melt the cheese on. The beans were a strange red color, but they tasted alright. I'd probably go back again. This time I went with a friend who really wanted to go. read more

My family and I always love going to this Chuy's they always bring out your food super delicious The service was awesome our waiter was so funny and was playing along with my dads humor she was a awesome waiter and hope we can have her again next time The ambiance was so clean and decor is so pretty and unique paints overall an awesome experience definitely recommend this place if your looking for good Tex-mex food!!! read more

Always get my order wrong for the 3rd time if I order to go. Even if it took me long time to wait for my order. Tonight, on my 3rd order I waited 30 minutes, when I got my order, 1 item is missing. So I went back and told them about a missing order, so they try to make it. Well, they made the wrong item (they made soft taco instead of chicken quesadilla), and all of this on top of 45 minutes wait. Will never going to order To Go here. Ever. read more

Placed a phone takeout order hours ahead. I showed up for pickup and they spent 15 minutes looking for my order. Then tell me they don't have it after spending all that time waiting. While I was standing there, I heard 3 different people say the same thing. I've been eating here for 20 years, and the food is still fine, but the management is going down the drain. Tons of staff running around inefficiently. Sad. Also, no apology. The other people who had similar experiences complained and got gift cards. read more

I'm not even sure how to describe the indifference of this restaurant. I thought maybe since Darden restaurants bought out Chuys the experience would be much better,but big fail on that. Ordered online. Arrived at 40 minute pick up time. Signed in online,.sat for 45 minutes...nothing. Went inside,it was chaos. Called the restaurant to try to avoid any issues,.oh boy ! Worse yet , the manager Graham said he was completely finished with this restaurant since he had no help or support. He said he turned in his 2 weeks notice because it was a mess. The order never showed up, and I called restaurant as he had suggested this morning to rectify and receive a refund.,,ha! Good luck No answer,.on hold for over an hour and disconnect. Got on Darden website...good luck yet again,.you can not send them an email,request,or concern. So,.only resolve is to suggest do not ever visit. Chuys You'll regret it and probably get robbed for whatever you pay upfront . Called back 6 more times , trying to rectify this disaster. Surprisingly I finally managed to talk to management,whom I actually know..and is a good person and manager. She was very apologetic and wanted to fix this, but as you can guess,it's a little late to do that I'm very sorry for having to be upset when talking to anyone especially if I actually know them. She has her hands full and tied, I'm sure she will see this,.but sometimes the truth hurts For everybody that actually believes the "owner response " is a human that hears the situation and wants to make sure that it gets resolved...pretty stupid. Call it a chatbot , bc they seriously have no interest or intent to correct the problem read more

service not good didnt give us a fork or straws no one came and checked up on us and didnt give us our tab

PLEASE--Avoid this location. Rude, discourteous, unprofessional--and either petty or incapable of counting. If the service at the hostess desk is a precursor to the service at the table--I can't imagine how bad this experience could have been. We left as we were advised they weren't capable of getting a table that could seat 7 adults and a toddler after our 30+ minute wait. Before going to the restaurant, we called ahead to see what wait time was--the online waitlist advised that it couldn't be joined for groups larger than 7. Our party was 7 plus a baby. We were advised at arrival that they just needed to clean a table off and we'd be seated. We waited 30 minutes or so with almost no patrons (maybe 10-15 people, at most) in the restaurant. A separate group of 8 then comes in about 25min after us and is seated almost immediately. The hostess then makes a point to roll her eyes at us when we ask why they were seated prior to us. A 2nd hostess stated they had joined the waitlist online--the same waitlist that wouldn't allow for a party of 7+ to join online. We were then shown to a table that seated 6, located almost directly on top of another party of 6. We asked if this was a mistake (we needed 7 chairs & a highchair spot) and were advised they "didn't have any other options." The place was empty. We realized this situation was only getting worse, so left and ate elsewhere. Try the other Chuy's locations before wasting your time & energy here. We used to enjoy this location--what happened?? What a disappointment. read more

My family likes to get fajitas take out at this place. For $65, they give you this kit with tons of toppings options and beef and chicken as protein. It easily feeds our family of 4 and we sometimes have leftovers for the next day. Aside from that, my favorite thing from there is the creamy jalepeno sauce, it's delicious with a tiny kick to it. read more

Came here for a team lunch while visiting Austin for work. This is a Texmex chain. We sat out on the patio and the area was average, not that clean but standard for a chain restaurant. The food was also average. I ordered a Cobb salad since I was saving room for bbq that night. I asked for no cheese and the server wrote it down on the check, but I still got cheese in my salad and had to pick it out. Overall, I'd only come back if someone else was hosting and invited me. read more

Just me again praising Chuy's . I know I have badmouthed them once , but they could have just been having a bad night back then. Used them this month, August 2023. Had a bunch of family and friends in and when that happens and you need food you call someone dependable, close to home, and who offers lots of delicious food. They did not disappoint. The fajitas, two big orders of the mixed, fantastic as usual, the taco package, Delicioso., and their chips to die for. All the sauces and guacamole and extras we all wanted did not go to waste...that's for sure. Needless to say there are no Chuy's close to where these folks live so they were excited when this big order was delivered. Thank you so much and RIP Mike Young. read more

I got a taco and enchilada and queso. My little brother also got enchiladas. It's a good place to go if you're in a rush and want to dine in somewhere quickly. My drink was amazing! Forgot what it was called. No complaints on the drink it was really good. The service was sub par. My server was not friendly at all he was kind of rude and careless honestly, I've been a waitress too- I know how it is but something was off. Anyway, at the very end after I paid my tab and he said it was his first day so who knows. That could've been it. Moral is, You'd spend less for about the same at Taco Bell. Lol. I probably wouldnt go back. read more

I can't believe I'm saying this, but after being a regular customer of this chain for over 40 years, I have absolutely no desire to ever eat here again. I appreciate the fact that our waiter took my plate off the ticket and a manager finally came over when we were about to leave, but everything we ate with the exception of the chips, salsa, and creamy jalapeño was barely edible. I've been a line cook for over a decade, and it's glaringly obvious to someone like me when the fryer oil hasn't been changed in a long time. The Baja shrimp tacos tasted of rancid fryer oil and made me feel ill after 2 bites. My dad's relleno was almost black, it was so over-fried, and the beef in my 10 yr old's crispy tacos tasted off. I very politely told the manager about the shrimp, then showed him the relleno and asked if he would send that out if he was working expo, and he kinda sheepishly said no. They offered to redo my tacos with grilled shrimp instead, but at that point my stomach was starting to hurt and I didn't want to eat anything else, so they did take it off the ticket. We've been going to Chuy's since the early 80's when they opened, and I told him that I honestly didn't have any desire to ever go back. I know what it's like to work at a failing restaurant, and I know how much that sucks, so I genuinely feel for our server and that manager, but... Damn, yall. F* Darden for trashing this beloved local chain of restaurants. It used to be one of the first places I'd recommend to everyone, and I can't in good conscience recommend it any more. The irony is that I'm currently between jobs and was considering applying after seeing the signs posted inside... before the food came. Now I know better, and I'd never take that job, because all the cooks would hate me, cuz I don't let things leave a kitchen I'm working looking like that EVER, even if I'm not currently management. These folks should be embarrassed read more

The Chuys off Research Boulevard in Austin Texas is a terrible establishment. The place is messy with 0 ambience, the service is patronizing, and the food is tasteless and glorified taco bell. Further the management there, Barbara I believe is her name? Was rude and had a bad attitude. Will NOT return. read more

The ambience is terrible, with crammed together beat up tables and uncomfortable seats. The service is very slow, and unresponsive to requests like extra tortillas for fajitas. The parking lot is cramped and unsafe with no night lighting. First and last visit to this chain. read more

No wonder this place is highly rated and it should be. I'm from California where Mexican food is abundant but THIS does not exist in California.. and I mean the boldness of taste in the tomatillo sauce on top of the enchilada together with the perfectly stewed beans and the soft rice. The portion was perfect and they also provided a bag of free super fresh chips. What's more is is the salsa. You can pretty much imagine the tomato having sliced esp for this particular bag of chips. Chuy's is also generous with their portion of chips (probably twice or thrice the amount of chips you would get from Chipotle in CA). The only downside I have is the dryness of the chicken but the tomatillo sauce covers for it. The ones taking the orders were very attentive to their guests so that's definitely a plus. I wish we have this in CA. Definitely a must go and must try. read more

Chuy's - Creamy Jalapeño!!! So... so.. good! - Tex-Mex Near Me - Austin, Texas

Just your average Tex-mex place! I really miss the happy hour they used to have before Covid! Where they would have the nacho bar in the trunk of the car and you could pile on meat, beans and cheese on top of delicious salty chips. Maybe after Covid calms down they will bring this back. The chips are still good and asking for the Jalapeño ranch sauce is a must. Love dipping it in the chips with the salsa. The margaritas are also awesome, as they're tasty and quite strong. They come in a variety of flavors too. I had two and I was definitely feeling it during happy hour. The crispy tacos were decent. Nothing outstanding but, it was what I was expecting. The meat needed a bit more flavor. Had I slathered it in queso, it would have been 5 stars. With that being said, the taco shells were super crispy and good. read more
