One of my favorite Tex-Mex places. First time in Austin. The food was fantastic and server was great! Definitely would recommend and come again. read more

They keep the chip's flowin'. Service was unstoppable. I found a loop hole Dig this: Veggie Enchilada with Sirloin. I ate it all. If I could travel back in time I would have a Pacifico with the Enchilada. Rock on. read more

My favorite tex-mex place because it has a wonderful New Mexican influence (green chilis, baby). The salsa you get upon sitting down is fresh and spicy, and the ranch dip is equally delicious. At restaurants, I usually find a favorite dish and generally stick with it, but at Chuy's, there are too many dishes I love, making it difficult to decide what to get every time. For a first timer, I might recommend the green chili steak burrito or green chili chicken taquitos. Or fajitas. Just come hungry and you'll leave happy. read more

This has been a North Austin favorite for a long time. They're always consistent; food is fresh, hot, and plentiful, and service is always snappy and friendly. We have two kids and the staff always goes out of their way to ensure that they have fun as well. 5 stars all the way! P.S. I started this review in 2010 and didn't realize I hadn't posted it. We've been to this Chuy's many times and it's always great. I'm never unhappy with the bill either. read more

My son and I went here for lunch. Disappointed that there is no lunch menu. I ordered the southwest enchiladas. Huge amount of food. I wish i had been told that it's really spicy hot. I couldn't even finish the food because it was too spicy, I'm a wuss. My son enjoyed his food but I can't remember what he ordered. I would return. read more

We went the other night and I am so glad we did! This is my new favorite for Tex-Mex hands down. Their salsa is the best I've had anywhere and the warm chips are perfect! My bf got the fajitas and they are marinated and taste amazing! I got the chicken plate and ate every last bite, even after we downed 3 cups of salsa! They were very accommodating too, since we can't have dairy. Our server was amazing! Try their cilantro lime dressing too! It's perfection! read more

I'm a pretty big fan of Chuys. I love the Chica Chica Boom Boom. The boom boom sauce is great. My favorite waitress is Michaela. Ask for her & you won't be disappointed Happy hour 4-7 I think.... Free queso! read more

Always friendly staff, gotta have the creamy jalepeno dip, fun inside and such delicious food!

Steak burrito, add boom boom sauce. Need I say more? Well I will anyways. I always receive exceptional service when I come to this particular Chuys! We like to bring the pup with us on warm days where we prefer the patio sitting. He immediately gets a bowl of water and a treat! When they bring out you chips and salsa, be sure to ask for the complementary creamy jalapeno sauce too - you will thank me later. I recommend getting green chile rice and the refried bean combination, as both are incredibly flavorful. My husbands go to and consistent menu choice is the said steak burrito with boom boom sauce. The homemade flour tortilla is SO good along with quality cuts of steak. The boom boom sauce is creamy, slightly spicy queso with chiles. Their chicken enchiladas is on point. Remember, you can sub out any sauce of your choice with entrees, or even customize the entree as you prefer. It gets pretty pretty busy in the evenings but you are able to go to the bar area, order drinks, and get chips and salsa as you wait for your table. Bring a framed photo of your dog and get a free app! Also, their shirts are pretty dang awesome..get yoself one and show some love for Chuys. read more

Wish there were more than 5 stars, but this place rarely disappoints me. This is my favorite date night place to go to with my bf. drinks are delicious, queso is to die for and the food is always on point. Definitely expect to wait, normally anywhere from 45-1 hour wait. But worth the wait, you have to try the Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. I promise, you're going to love it. Also if you are going on a Friday, try the green chili hatch enchiladas, that's delicious as well. Even if you have to wait a long time. It is worth it for sure, once you get seated the service is pretty quick and the staff is super friendly! Parking can be a pain, but don't let that discourage you from going here. read more

Best texmex in the world! Family favorite for 5+ years, always been a great option for Saturday lunch!

This is my go to place for Tex-Mex food, and in my opinion this is the best Chuy's location in central Texas. The staff and servers are always friendly and the food is always great. I've never had a bad experience here. read more

My in-laws always bring us here, because we love it. I feel like Mexican food is gross, but this is a fun place to hang with the family. The food is good, and more important they have a killer mango margarita! read more

You can see the dust in the decor which really reminds me of a unorganized garage from the 1940s, the parking lot is shabby, the building seems to be in need of repairs, the weight staff seems like it hasn't washed their hands in a month. The food was ordinary and it looked like it sit 10 minutes in a counter before it was served. It was big, oh yeah it was, just as the water cups and they were filled fast and promptly. Dont get me wrong, it is just like any other mexican restaurant, but you know that feeling of clean that one gets when walking inside a california pizza kitchen? this was not that like and it charged as so. read more

Chuy's is our family's favorite restaurant. I love the salads and the enchiladas. My husband loves anything they do with beef. The kids love the queso, the fresh tortillas and the fries. I could wax poetic about the margaritas, especially that jalapeno one. YUM. This location is our favorite. Fewer crowds, more relaxed wait staff. read more

All the stars belong to the food! I hear a lot of people say that the don't like Chuy's because it's not "authentic"... Probably not,but it's a chain restaurant what are you expecting. Our server was less than decent. He made us feel like he had way better things to do. But whatever,I didn't go for the server.... I came for the food dammit. I had the Hatch Green Chile Enchiladas.. Mmmm. I managed to get the servers attention, ordered a Margarita because to good plate of enchiladas can go without one. I took a sip,it was pure mix.. YUCK! I guess it wasn't meant to be that night. But the enchiladas tho'... They are ALWAYS delicious,I really feel like I just went on an off night. It's okay friends,we can try this again.. read more

Chuys has awesome food! The Appetizer Plate is worth the value and amount of food! Hostess could use some work. No smile to greet us or even a Good Afternoon! Server took a while to get here but she apologized and that made the visit way better! Food came out quick and desserts are awesome!!! Try their Tres Leches Cake!!! read more

When it comes to eating Mexican food in Austin, there are only two words when it comes to heading to Chuy's: yes please! So good. So. So. good. Pick whatever you love (whether it's tacos, enchiladas, quesadillas, you name it!) and try Chuy's take on it. Be sure-- oh my, God, do NOT deprive yourself of this luxury-- to order their sauce special. It's a plate of all of their famous sauces, some of them not even on their menu, that range from salsas of varying degrees of heat, green hatch, quesa frescos, and a ranch dressing that's OUT OF THIS WORLD. Their chips (which are never-ending) come hot at the table, and if you get a meal to-go, will come in a huge bag just for snacking! But don't fill up on the chips, because the entrees and the specials are too good to leave on the plate. Don't worry, though. If you make that rookie mistake, they're not shy with the to-go bags! It doesn't matter which location you go to, you'll always get outstanding service, in an atmosphere that's usually packed, and fairly loud, but it's festive, and lively, and perfect for date night! If you'd rather hear yourself think (and talk!), try going in-between the typical lunch/dinner rush hours. It's a different experience, altogether. If you only do it once, just to be adventurous, give Chuy's (any of their locations!) a try. You won't be sorry, I promise you! read more

I have literally never made one complaint at this location! The food always comes out hot and tasting amazing. The servers always seem to know what they are doing, even if they really dont are are just pretending lol. But they are always smiling, quick to get you what ever you need, and they just dont screw up. The food seriously always tastes so good. And we love all the decorations at this particular location. read more

An Austin original, especially on Elvis's birthday, really good tex-mex, great chips and sauces, and service was super. Elvis fried chicken is a must try. Only draw back is that they can get pretty busy, mainly evenings. read more

Giving this chuy's location 5 stars solely for the excellent service I revived while dining there. HIGHLY recommend requesting AARON ROBERTSON as your server. GREAT service, super kind and very attentive. If you're ever at the North Lamar location make sure to ask for him, you won't be disappointed! read more

A big thank you to Chuy's on N Lamar. Every year for the past 25 years I have had my birthday lunch/dinner at Chuy's. This year due to COVID-19 has changed. However I did get my favorite dishes from Chuy's today even though they were not on the menu currently being used. I am so glad I got to continue my birthday tradition. Thank you again Chuy's. Happy New Year to y'all. read more

Decent food, very crowded tables, and we sat there for a while with no drink refill. It's okay.

If you like Tex-mex be sure to try Chuy's. If you've never been, mention it and they may comp your quest dip. Also, ask for the jalapeño ranch, like other suggested. Kid's meals get a push-pop ice cream after their meal, which is a great incentive if you have a picky eater. I got a taco & cheese enchiladas, but liked my son's buritto better. We had a new server, but he did well for it only be day 3. read more

it's good but i think i needs more flavor in the food,the service was good and everything,i ate inside and it was so loud but i guess i need to try again outside read more

Good Tex-Mex I guess. I was hungry and tired and my friends wanted margaritas. Drinks Prickly Pear margarita was too sweet. Not a good balance between the tequila and the mix. I also couldn't taste any lime. Aren't all margaritas supposed to be limey? Mexican Martini Spicy, tasted mostly like peppers and sour mix. Again, not very well balanced. Food Tortilla soup was bland as hell. The chicken was thick and dried. The broth had no substance, it was very light and watered down. Saturday Special was some sort of pork Chile enchiladas, those were great! The pork was well seasoned and the sauce on top wasn't overpowering. Shrimp Baja tacos: the shrimp was perfectly fried. Crispy yet light. Well seasoned. However, the flour tortillas felt too thick. Perhaps you're better off substituting for corn. Steak fajitas were OK, full of flavor but dry. Will probably come back since my friends love it ‍ read more

I. Love. Chuy's. Salsa and chips are amazing. Chuychangas are great. Queso compuesto is great. Being Hispanic, I've had my fair share of Mexican and Tex-Mex food. I'm not claiming that I've tasted everything out there, or that Chuy's is the best... BUT from the Tex-Mex I HAVE had, it doesn't even come close to how awesome Chuy's is. It's pretty dang amazing, and great atmosphere. Also, parking lot is super small. Great staff, but it get pretty busy during food-ing times, so get there early. Good thing is, if you can find a spot in the 'waiting' area, you can eat chips and salsa til your table is ready! read more

Chuys, Chuys, Chuys.... What happened??? I am a big Chuys fan but recently it seems like... the food quality went down the garbage! Maybe it is this location? Did Chuy's change ownership and they changed the quality of food? I am not sure, but I remember the food being better couple of years back. I still am in love with the creamy jalapeno, had many nights with my friends where we would just come here for that! (Don't worry, we still tipped our waiter!) This location is the one I always go to, the parking lot is tight and I can see things being stolen easily here. Take valuables inside! Service is still good. I hope the food quality gets better! read more

I cannot express how much I love Chuy's. It's easy to find something decent to eat here, even when watching calories. I have been losing weight and find it difficult to eat out, but not here. True, it's painful to skip the creamy jalapeno salad dressing with the chips, but it's 11g of fat in 2T, so I usually eat 5 or 6 chips and I'm satisfied. I got the "low fat" version of the Tortilla Soup. Just remove the avocado, cheese, and tortilla strips and nix the tortillas it comes with. Yes, I know avocado is good fat, but I don't like it. So now I'm left with a low fat, high protein, DELICIOUS soup! My husband, who is NOT watching calories, got the macho burrito. He said it was awesome. The service here is always great. Most people are friendly, except for the hostess who is about as tiny as a 10yo. She will be standing there and not greet us when we enter except to say, "How many?" and when we leave, she doesn't say a thing. Rude, but not enough to warrant a loss of a star. read more

Always a fun place to eat with great food! Went last night for the Hatch Pepper Fest wind up and had a few problems which is unusual for Chuy's. My server Danielle, promptly got the manager, Christina, who was also the chef, and she substituted the dish with the best Hatch Chicken Enchiladas I have EVER had! A tip of the hat goes out to Alli the Hotess/Greeter who, upon my arrival welcomed me and seated me exactly where I asked to be...Not near a server station, a restroom or small children. :) If you want to see Texas Friendly in action see Alli! read more

Excellent service, excellent food. Huge portions and very tasty. Colorful environment. I had the Elvis Presley Memorial combo and my boyfriend had the deluxe combo platter. The creamy jalepeno dip is awesome!! read more

See all

My go to Tex mex place! The ambience and vibe is amazing and the service is quick and friendly (it can get crowded around dinner though). The must have sauce there is the creamy jalapeño sauce and the green Chile sauce. My go to food is the fajita chicken enchiladas as they never disappoint! Sometimes the service can get a bit messy and you won't always get what you order. For example the wrong order of beans or the type of chicken enchilada . But that rarely happens and if it does the staff is quick to put in a new order for you and bring it to you ASAP! I've come here SO MANY times!! Definitely recommend this place! read more

Great experience. The food was great and lived up to the reputation because a few locals recommended this place. So glad to hear that we just got a Kc location! read more

Don't order through Grub Hub their ETA is usually an hour off ... late and cold! I've ordered through Grub Hub from Red Robin and it was also later than their ETA and cold fries and cold burger read more

This Chuys sucks BBC there are roaches crawling throughout the restaurant when I went to sit down the host Gave me 2 menus even though I was alone and I was confused till a roach was posted up when I sat down. My server, Jack was dad-bod cute tho read more

Quick and friendly service, good drinks, and great tex mex. The love me tinder tacos are sublime. Wish they didn't have such a limited menu with the covid and all. read more

terrible customer service and waste of money!! ordered online pick up for curbside and had to wait for half an hour for nobody to come bring my food once i went to get it inside it was already cold!! do not waste your time or money here they have no regard for their customer service. period! read more

To-go service appears to have improved. I paid and left in a reasonable time. My last visit months ago was so unreasonable that I stopped making to-go orders. Now I have hope. The food itself is great as always. read more

So far so good, been going here for 5 years The food is still 5 star and the staff service is 3 star, but IMHO the food prices are too cheap for as good as the food is! The bar could use a little face lift. read more

The only reason I don't like coming here is because it makes me realize how much we need a Chuy's closer than 2 hours away back home! Friendly service, consistently good food, and fab t-shirts keep me coming back every time I'm in Austin. read more
