We stopped into Chuys on a busy night, and the service was just okay, the food definitely made the visit worthwhile. The staff was doing their best to keep up with the crowd, and although things moved a little slowly at times, everyone was when they made it to the table. Kids loved the decor of the restaurant. Especially mesmerized by the hubcaps on the ceiling. Food was good, portions were plentiful. The Elvis Green Chile fried chicken breast breaded with Lays potato chips was dry and needed a little more sauce/seasoning. read more

My first meal as soon as I landed in Austin! And our server was full of warmth and hospitality! I forgot her name but she's young and helpful - just the right balance of letting us have our convo and being helpful. Kudos to her! We had a great meal! The spicy jalapeno ranch dip is the best with a basket of fresh tortilla chips! I had the chicken enchilada with the Tex mex sauce. Very good! It was shredded chicken with the red Tex mex sauce. Simple but seasoned well and delicious! Can't wait to go back! read more

My family and I were in the mood for some Chuy's so my husband placed an order online and then drove up curbside and got our food. This time around we shared the Fajita Chicken Quesadillas, Panchos, and the Chuy Chuy Churro Bites. For my own dish I ordered the Roasted Chicken Burrito. Plus we ordered a dozen flour tortillas. I enjoyed the fajita chicken quesadilla. It had chicken and lots of cheese and onions. The Panchos were good. They had plenty of beans, cheese, and fajita chicken. The Chuy Chuy Churro Bites were delicious. I enjoyed every bite. The churros with some caramel and vanilla ice cream from home were a nice sweet after dinner treat. I chose the roasted Chicken Burrito for dinner as it's my favorite. I love the bean, cheese, and chicken combo and with the creamy jalapeno sauce topping it was delicious. The Green Chili Rice that comes with it on the side is good. It has a slight flavor to it and when I ate it with my burrito it was super filling. This time around we got our full order which includes a dozen flour tortillas that we love. Yay! Overall Chuy's ordering and pickup process was quick and easy and the food was really good. read more

The food made our whole table SICK! The restaurant was dirty, unclean bathroom, dusty windows at table.

Yum! Chuy's always hits the spot. From the salsa and jalepeno ranch to the entrees, the amazing flavors are always there. Our waiter was so attentive and friendly. The atmosphere is always welcoming and nostalgic. read more

Enjoyed dinner with the family a few nights ago! What a great experience. Our server was fantastic! We sat in a cool room with an old car theme. There were hub caps covering the ceiling and old car photos along the walls. The food was exceptional! Great Tex Mex! Still one of my favorite Tex Mex restaurants in Austin. I had a cheese enchilada and a beef taco plate with rice and beans. Words can't describe how good it was. My wife had the flautas which she said were great! My brother had the beef fajitas! We'll be back for sure! read more

A little get together with friends for lunch. Service was slow, but otherwise excellent. Typical Tex-Mex vibes inside, but the random coconut trees in the middle give it something different. Creamy Jalapeño ranch dip for your chips is where it's at here! read more

No longer offering Charro beans only refried. Slowly becoming gringo-ized. No longer the Tex Mex if old Austin.

Lively spot for a Friday night, they have outdoor heaters but was too windy. On a fall day it would be nice. Authentic Mexican vibe for a tex mex spot I feel. Food portions are high quality as it was a cheesy enchilada. Jalapeño ranch dipping sauce and fresh salsa to start was great too. Service was good as they didn't keep asking about an update and how we're doing to rush an order and flip a table. read more

I'm disappointed in myself for not writing a review for Chuy's sooner. While it's no longer just a "Texas thing" (with franchises now all over the states), that doesn't stop me from coming back! Like Rudy's, Chuy's is a reliable, go-to spot that's always solid and consistently delicious. There's never a time when I don't recommend Chuy's to out-of-towners. If you're wanting a true Tex-Mex experience, Chuy's is the place. But don't ask me what's the correlation between Elvis & Chuy's... What to order: A mountain of Creamy Jalapeño for your chips (you'll thank me later) and for those who enjoy a little bit of everything, The Elvis Presley Memorial Combo. The Elvis Presley combo comes with three different enchiladas and a taco with all the fixings (rice and beans). Service: I've always had incredible service at Chuy's, but one service stands out above the others. I recently dined outdoors, and dinner service was absolutely insane. There was only one waiter, and wow--this guy was a total pro. It was magical to watch him work. He was calm, efficient, and seemed to glide through the service, even with children during dinner! read more

I've lived in this neighborhood for 15 years, and this Chuy's has fallen off a cliff over the last six months. I brought a friend from out of town because it used to be a fun, touristy place to show off. The food was embarrassing. The tacos were cold and soggy. The rice was far too salty. The chips were soft and greasy. The table wasn't clean. Service was slow. The restaurant wasn't even busy, so there was no reason for any of it. I ended up telling my friend that Texas food is usually much better than what we ate. This location needs new management that actually cares about quality. It's not the first time things have been subpar, but it will be the last time I roll the dice here. read more

You can never go wrong with Chuy's. I would come solely for the creamy jalapeno sauce, it's so good. My go-to is the Tex-Mex enchiladas. It is smothered in sauce. The green Chile rice has just the right of kick. The Elvis Presley Memorial Combo is HUGE! A great value for the price. You're either going to leave with leftovers or needing to stretch out your pants. The staff (especially at the bar) are so nice and keep your glasses and chips filled. If your looking for a laid back environment with the Tex&Mex staples, you can find it here! read more

My boyfriend and I decided to give this Chuy's location a try since it was closer to where we were at instead of our usual spot, and overall, it was a decent experience with a few highs and lows. Let's start with the positives: the jalapeño cream sauce was absolutely amazing, and the queso was a solid hit too! Honestly, the dips alone were worth the trip. The atmosphere was lively and fun--exactly what you expect from Chuy's--with that quirky, Austin vibe. The place was packed, but we were seated quickly, and our waitress was incredible. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure we were well taken care of. Now for the food. I ordered the Boom Boom Chicken Enchilada, and while the sauce was flavorful and the beans and rice were on point, the chicken itself was disappointingly dry. My boyfriend had the Elvis Platter, but we both agreed it lacked that bold Tex-Mex punch we were hoping for--it was a bit bland compared to what we're used to from Chuy's. That said, the meal was very affordable, and given the great service and overall vibe, I'd be willing to give this location another shot. Maybe it was just an off night for the kitchen, but I'm hopeful next time will live up to the Chuy's reputation. read more

I came back here again for a work lunch a few weeks back, and had another solid experience! We were able to get seated very quickly which was nice. And the food was solid! The chicken fajitas with flour were definitely good. And our server Emily crushed it. Well done Chuy's team! It was a successful visit. We will be back. read more

Decided to try out this classic Austin restaurant with a local, and absolutely enjoyed the food and vibe at this location. As a vegetarian though, it was a slight struggle to find something to eat with a fairly limited vegetarian friendly menu! We ordered Guacamole and Queso in appetizers, and their Queso was really delicious. Very flavorful and went really well with those Tostada chips! I got the Tex-Mex Burrito Bowl without any protein, and the portion size was large enough to fill me up. The House Salsa was tasty, and so was my overall dish. Service was quick and food arrived within 20 minutes of ordering. It was a Saturday afternoon, and noise levels were slightly on the louder side at around 2 pm. A definite must try if you like Mexican food! read more

I got a beer so can't complain, my girlfriend got the strawberry margarita that was okay, just tasted like lime. The jalapeño ranch dip was good. Everything else was a let down. Just bland food, and the chicken flautas that came with the comida deluxe plate were cold. The guy who brought them out said someone else back there ate them so they brought more, maybe was a joke but wasn't funny biting into bland and cold food. Kind of sad for us not going out much. Serviced was good at the bar at least. read more

I'm surprised. The delivery tonight of Boom Boom and large Guacamole was the best I have had from this location. While I will always consider the original on Barton Spings the very best long ago, tonight this location brought a smile to our faces and stomachs! read more

While I've never eaten inside here, we get takeout pretty frequently. The process online is super easy and it never really takes that long. Service is friendly and quick too. Their enchiladas with the green sauce are ok, I find them to be a but too wet/oily but they get the job done, and better than most tex Mex places around I think. I loooove their creamy jalapeno sauce though. And frankly that's why it gets 4 and not 3 stars. We just get this for takeout often to eat with food we make at home. In general Chuy's is above a stage for a chain texmex restaurant and probably will please most folks. Give them a try if you're in the area! read more

terrible food I do not recommend. food is cold service is hurried- yuck. We ate here at 8pm not a busy dinner hour on a Wednesday. Don't waste your time or money. read more

We had been hearing so much about Chuy's since we moved here from out of state. Decided to give it a try, was sorely disappointed. First of all, the chips are stale, under salted, and so thin that I literally cut the roof of my mouth. Moving past that all of their soda pops taste like they went out to Barton Springs (you know which side I'm talking about) and scooped up that water and added a splash of flavoring. Lastly, the actual food we got (steak fajitas and a burrito) was flavorless, overcooked, and VERY unappealing to the eye. In terms of service don't even get me started. They're slow, lazy, not kind, and basically just throw your food on the table and walk away. The only redeeming feature is that there were many cute pups to look at on their walls. Other than that it isn't worth coming to check out. Save your money and go try an actual Tex mex restaurant. As always, thank you so much for taking time out of your beautiful day to read my review. I really appreciate it. Have a great rest of your weekend. Bye-bye. read more

Just experienced the worst to go service. Food was way past ready but no one was there to give it to me. Employees were walking right past me and didn't say a word as they saw me waiting for about 20 minutes. Went to the bar, bartender scoffed and said to basically F off, "go press the button." read more

Great chips crispy thin! Salsa variety is a good match with the creamy jalapeno and of course red salsa made fresh! read more

Always hits! I hope with new ownership it stays what it is! Just your classic Tex-mex with that delicious jalepeno ranch. I also love that it's always quick to get seated. The Texas Tini pairs perfectly with the chips and dips! read more

Chuy's Tex-Mex is still consistently good and return to this location and others every month or two. This lunch visit had less customers mostly due to school is out and probably everyone on vacation. I enjoy dining in the bar but this time around decided on a table due to the lighter crowd. I noticed the main indoor dining area was much brighter where perhaps lighting was change out making it easier to read the menu and admire the nice portraits on the walls. I ordered the Deluxe Chicken Enchiladas and a Chuy's Famous Rita Swirl (Lime and Strawberry). The service was still great as usual and alway nice to look around for something new and different with the place like the t-shirt designs in front. The margarita was a little fruity and It took a while for the alcohol to kick in. My plate arrived and tried the enchiladas. I like the way the roasted chicken tasted with the deluxe tomatillo sauce and cheese making it very favorable. It was not spicy. The Mexican rice and refried beans were also good too. Been eating at chuy's since 1980's as a kid and still the place to go for Austin Tex-Mex cuisine. read more

This is my first time to this location and it definitely didn't disappoint. I was seated quickly and immediately served. I got the Taco Enchilada Combo. The food came out fast and hot.

Never ever order to go from any Chuy's location. It's a nightmare at pickup. They do not adequately staff their stores for to go.

All the employees there are so lovely but the food is among the blandest tex-mex I've ever eaten. As a native Texan, I was so confused lol The burrito bowl and veggie enchiladas were atrocious read more

We always sit at the bar when we visit and the bartenders are awesome. The food is why we visit. I hope nothing changes with new ownership (touch that japaleno ranch and we will end you, lol). It's a fun little joint that is super busy on Sundays after church. Highly recommend enjoying a late lunch :) read more

I love me some Tex-Mex and it was my first time at a Chuy's. I came here for my co-worker's goodbye happy hour since it's right down the street from our work place. Steve was our waiter, and let me tell you...Steve was working hard and still being attentive. This place was so busy!!! As expected for a Friday evening. Lots of families with kids running around, music playing, and lots of conversations. They kept the chips and dips coming because our food order took FOREVER to come out. Not sure what was going on in the kitchen. I think Steve was taking care of half the restaurant (what it seemed like) and was being so nice! Just by looking around, I could tell the staff was feeling a little stretched thin. Chips were tasty, hard to mess that up. Salsa and spicy ranch type of dip I've never had were both good too. I had the skinny marg, it had almost no tequila in it, but it wasn't sweet so I appreciated that. Steve did a great job at keeping up with our table because we kept having people coming in to say bye, stay a bit then leave. He would bring out the drinks and fresh chips. Now I honestly wasn't hungry by the time my food arrived because I was so full after eating 3 baskets of chips. I ordered the veggie enchiladas, and they were sad. 2 came with the order and the sauce tasted like it came out of a jar. The rice was dry and lacked seasoning....the beans didn't taste super fresh. I don't know about the lettuce/tomato off to the side. I did take it to go and it all tasted a little better a day after. I paid about $26 total, including my tip. Will I come back? If I have to for another work outing. read more

'I meant what I said and I said what I meant A curmudgeon consistent 100 percent.' Chuy's, recently acquired by Darden, has restored its CHILE RELLENOS to the menu, deleted during the Covid shake up of four years ago. I had them tonight just to make sure, and they compare very favorably with what's available in Santa Fe, NM. So here's the five-star review I promised years ago. I never dreamed that I would give a Darden restaurant five stars, but the proof's in the relleno! Although Chuy's is a Tex-Mex restaurant, the Hatch chile which they employ from Hatch New Mexico, sets Chuy's apart from the hoard of Mexican restaurants in Austin...and now elsewhere in Chuy's-land. read more

We had excellent service from Ryan, I'm pretty sure that was her name. There were three people in our party-- teo got enchiladas and one got tacos. The portions were very generous and two of us brought home a box. Everything was quite tasty and we had our choice of different spice levels and sauces. It's a pretty convenient location near Costco and Whole Foods. So we will probably be back soon. read more

Finally decided to give this place another chance at dine in. Service was horrible, waitress didn't tend to our table. Ordered tacos al carbon that comes with onions and peppers and my tacos only came with meat. Had to ask for jalapeño ranch cause waitress never brought it. Me and my partner had to share my drink cause she never came to refill his, although she had no problem tending to the party right across from us. It could be cause me & partner are young Latinos and servers assume we don't tip that we always get horrible service here. Please do better. read more

Chuy's is consistently good. I notice I've posted multiple pics of the veggie enchilada. That's my go-to here as a vegetarian, and it satisfies every time. The rice and beans used in this dish are suitable for vegetarians, and they also clearly identify which of their sauces have meat products in them. Now and then I mix it up and get the veggie enchiladas with boom boom sauce or something else, but the og version with ranchero sauce is great as is. They're quite good about accommodating larger groups for weekday lunches. We've had their nachos and tres leches as well, both of which were good. read more
