I think they've earned a solid 4/5 for their awesome nachos because they have been nothing but extremely satisfying. Especially if you order a side of Queso to really take them to the next level. Now they don't just give you a pile of chips. Instead, it comes with extra large tortilla chips that have each been completely loaded with all the toppings. One is about the size of your hand. When you take a bite, you'll get to enjoy all the toppings and flavors. And they don't fall apart because the melted shredded cheese seems to hold it together. But personally, other parts of this restaurant failed me. First, the cheese enchiladas are inconsistent. On my first trip they were brought out hot and gooey. But on my second visit, the cheese inside was barely melted. Also, these enchiladas are automatically made with corn tortillas. So if you want flour instead you have to request it. Also, on my first visit I asked if they served tamales because I was craving them. The waitress assured me they did and took my order. But what arrived at the table was a Chile relano. I mentioned my confused and the waitress apologized explaining that was the closest they had to tamales. What??? Very strange. I ate it anyway and it was fine. Just not what I was wanting. However, my husbands' one true love is Tex Mex and this is the best he's ever found outside of TX. He just loves their fajitas. And I have to say I enjoy them to. They make they tortillas fresh and you can taste it. The manager here is super nice and welcoming. He checked in us and my husband really enjoyed the TX banter. Service is mostly pretty good but does slow down when they're busy. I know we will return again soon. I think I'll stick to the nachos and skip the enchiladas. Maybe they have flautas worth trying? read more

Update (Dec 2020): the kitchen manager contacted me shortly after my first review. I appreciated his genuine apology and kind offer to make things right. We returned for dinner a few weeks later and had a great experience. We were warmly greeted and quickly seated. Chips and drinks came out quickly. Our waitress was nice. Margaritas were on point! Burrito was delicious, hot, and fresh. The manager even stopped by to check in on us. A thoroughly pleasant dinner experience. Much improved from my first review. Thanks, Chuys! read more

Chuy's - "Big as yo face" beef fajita burrito with boom boom sauce - Tex-Mex Near Me - Beavercreek, Ohio

Didn't like food. Smelled weird. Service was okay. Not going back again. Don't recommend.

Food is pretty great! Would recommend the any of the enchiladas . Service is amazing! Seating is always clean, creative, and overall great!

Chuy's was an all-around a-okay experience. I wasn't blown out of the water, but it was cute and their happy hour specials are pretty economical. Would come back again - especially for their yummy french fries. PROS: -Their Happy Hour special is fantastic! Not only do they have discounts on alcoholic drinks as well as some discounted food, there's a "free" nacho bar with chips, queso, beans, and meats that you can grab servings from as much as you want. If you're especially curious about their queso, this is a great time to give it a try (and the server even says as much). -Great TexMex options. If you're used to a standard Tex Mex place, you can find something to eat here. Tacos, enchiladas, burritos, nachos, french fries, etc. The spice level can be customized by changing the various sauces they use here - and they'll offer tastings of their sauces before you order as well. -Interior offers a lot of feelings of privacy. There are lots of walls separating the various areas of the restaurants with large, open doorways between them. This means that, despite having lots of seating, it doesn't feel like you're just in a giant room with lots of other people. -Great location. Chuy's is right across the street from the giant Fairfield Commons mall. It has its own large parking lot, and it makes it pretty simple to just stop in for some food after you've finished a long shopping day - or just easily stop in because it's decently easy to get to off of the nearby highway. -Good seating options. They have smaller tables, larger tables (great for large families), and booths. The booths were nice and comfy. -Service was a-okay. We never received any water refills, but we never asked for any. He checked in semi-often, and he was very nice and great about explaining Chuy's as it was our first time here. Food came out quickly, and our drinks came out decently quickly too. -Complimentary chips are pretty delicious. Light and fluffy. They're best when served warm. Our first batch was room temp, but our refill was noticeably warm. CONS: -It seems like a lot of people love their queso, but I'm just not really that into it. It's not a *bad* queso by any means - especially as an enchilada topping or on top of tacos or anything. I'm just not that in-love with it when its on its own. It's a lot thinner and runnier than I'm used to, and it drips off the chips (when used as a dip) really easily. I'm used to a queso having a lot more cream and thickness to it, so this was definitely surprising. -Multiple pieces of silverware in our "sanitized for your safety" bags had dried food on them. Our server was apologetic and grabbed new ones for it, but seemed unfazed. I'd imagine this is a semi-regular occurrence for them. Just make sure to check your silverware before eating. read more

i am a absolute fan i must say. this is a true Texmex place, originated in Texas everything i have tasted here so far is so amazingly great. i missed the official yelp event for this chain in Texas and i was pretty sad about that since i heard so many great things about this place`s food, so as soon as i saw it here in Ohio i needed to come in and see what hype was all about. this location is right by a mall so parking is plenty, just dont guarantee that you will find parking super close to the restaurant door as this place is always very busy. as a tip if you can just sit at the bar cause the wait for a table can be pretty long and the bar always seems to be available. also a bonus about sitting at the bar is that there are plenty of dog photos and art about dogs in the bar room it is pretty cute, i called it the puppy room. the entire place is very thematic and pretty latin looking, they also have an outdoor sitting area that looks pretty nice for the hot weather to come by and have a margarita now lets get to what really matters. THE FOOD. the traditional chips and salsa those are a stand alone for sure, the chips are thin ad delicious, light, so light that you wont stop eating them, the salsa is spicy but also you will not be able to stop. the drinks: MOJITO - pretty ok but nothing special really, the great thing about it that the drink is served in a pint glass so you will have plenty to drink. KING`S PUNCH - this one is another giant (i mean this place is originated in Texas so, go big or go home) this is definitely my go to drink when i come over here. this is fruity drink super refreshing this is the truth girlie drink. Queso - OMG best queso i have had so far in life!!! the queso here deserves an award! TEX MEX ENCHILADA- this enchilada comes with a sauce that reminds me of a mole sauce, the rice and beans on the side and inside the enchilada some great tasting and super stringy cheese. this was a great dish for sure, plenty of food that you may also be able to bring some home depending on how hungry you come in. MAKE YOUR OWN ENCHILADA- also served with rice and beans this one you choose the sauce as well as the stuffing inside the enchilada. i made mine with cheese and queso sauce, this was perfection! this dish is also plenty large for sharing or to take some home after being super full. a side note: JALAPENO RANCH - this is a little sauce listed on the sauces of the menu, this one is also perfect to dip your chips in it, so keep that in mind when your chips and sauce come in. TRES LECHES CAKE - the size of this thing! you can probably share this desert with about 3 ppl! it is so big and amazing! i loved this desert so much that every time i come here i just want to eat that after my enchiladas! but we need to look out for our bikini bodies so use caution cause this cake is dangerous!! my overall impression here is amazing, they have great staff, some awesome decor that your bring you to the folkloric world of Mexico, the prices that are so super good for the portions you are being served, the tastes! the food is glorious and to top it off the military discount! i am a fan!!! read more

Visited for dinner while meeting up with some colleagues in the area. We were seated quickly in a open area with an upbeat atmosphere. When greeted by the wait staff we were handed a fresh basket of chips and two dipping bowl. Just a warning that the white stuff is not queso, it's some ranch type dip. The red salsa was fresh and had a nice kick of spice. Like most Mexican style restaurants, the menu was extensive. If you struggle to order from those menus already, well just know that Chuy's like to brand some of the menu items with their name. The food came out quick, hot and actually no too terribly sloppy. (Covered in sauce and beans) The music is a bit loud but was still ok to spend time catching up at a round table. read more

Great mexican. We usually get carry out and it's usually good. However, sometimes they do forget out sauces or sides of beans. The chips are fresh and homemade. read more

Chuy's used to be our favorite restaurant. I understood the limited menu during COVID but not today. They might as well hang a menu from the ceiling and add a counter for ordering a burrito and taco. Its carry out food now. All that made them a great place is gone. Even the burrito I had today was dry and flavorless. Yep, never thought of Chuy's as flavorless. Two stars fora great server! read more

Went here for lunch and for dinner. Pretty good restaurant. The atmosphere is casual. The mexI-Cobb salad is pretty good. Unusually high calorie count to me but was tasty. The tortilla soup is really good. I recommend that. This place is. It very fast during lunch so plan accordingly. Also it I is extremely busy on Friday Nights. read more

I haven't been here in a minute. This place is good. Walked right into the bar and grabbed a table. We were greeted by a friendly server who brought what I came for. I had to stuff my face with chips and salsa. The bowl was never empty and my self restraint went out the window. I couldn't help myself Shortly after, the sever came back to take our order. I ordered the combo with everything. I couldn't decide. Flautas, a taco, enchiladas, a tostada with cheese sauce rice and beans. What more could you ask for. I shoveled it in. Overall, this place was good. I rate it four stars because it is a chain. I prefer local stuff but I couldn't find anything that sounded great. Service was good. My drink was never empty and he left me the pitcher to refill for myself. Good environment. Bathrooms were nice and clean too. read more

Online menu was easy to read, site was easy to use. Text messaging for curbside pickup fast and convenient. The food was amazingly delicious too! The styrofoam cracked a bit on one of the entree dishes, but thankfully nothing spilled out anywhere. read more

Love Chuy's. Everything just tastes 'real'. I've honestly only ordered the same entree (chuychanga, uhm delicious) that I get everytime. My husband has gotten a variety of things and have loved it all. His favorite is something that has Elvis in the title, vague but we haven't been in a couple of months. Go in and enjoy! read more

This is the best Tex-Mex in Dayton. We just moved here from Texas where we had a plethora of Tex-Mex choices. This makes us feel like we are back home! The Creamy jalapeño ranch dip is amazing. The drinks are great! read more

Chuy's - Tex-Mex Near Me - Beavercreek, Ohio

there is a BIG problem with the management! i witnessed a manager scream at two of the hosts, and call them idiots and i even witnessed the manager put his hands on a female host and called her an f-ing moron. i've been to the beavercreek location a few times, and it made me upset witnessing the same manager yell at one of the hosts who happens to be the sweetest and a favorite. i think the manager's name was eric? the food was really good, LOVE the chicka chicka boom boom, but i could not enjoy it to the fullest after witnessing what i just did!! read more

Oh Chuy's. As a huge fan of Mexican food, you do not wow me in the least. The few times I'm had dinner here, the food is always dry and extremely bland. I have to smoother everything in queso just to get some flavor up in here..... BUT I sure don't hate your happy hour! The Nacho Cart is pretty great, offering nacho chips of course with a variety of salsa, meat, refried beans, and even queso to top. And did I mention this Nacho Cart is complimentary during happy hours....yes, as in FREE! Drink specials aren't necessarily the best happy hour deals, but when you pair that with free build-your-own nachos, it evens out. Still kind of concerned that you have to serve the silverware in a paper wrapper to assure me that it has been sanitized. Meh, we'll just leave that one alone for now. read more

Chuy's - Whew, sanitized silverware! - Tex-Mex Near Me - Beavercreek, Ohio

I really, really wish the Chuy's in Dayton would improve their service. I want so badly to enjoy eating here since I love Tex-Mex but I am consistently let down by bad service. If you are going to eat here make sure and request the creamy jalapeño dip with your salsa, it blows their salsa out of the water! Their salsa can also be hit or miss but today it was spicy so that was good. I can consistently recommend ordering the nachos as they are delicious! They make them on individual chips versus piling all he toppings on so you get a good amount of each ingredient in every bite. My friend and I split the appetizer sampler and it was TONS of food with quesadillas, queso, nachos and flautas. The flauta filling is a little on the bland side so I wouldn't order those on their own but as part of the sampler it was fine. If the service was better this would be my go to Tex-Mex restaurant. read more

Chuy's - Appetizer sampler, the nachos are the stand out here - Tex-Mex Near Me - Beavercreek, Ohio

I've been to both Chuy's in Dayton a few times now. I really love their chips and salsa, the chips are fresh fried and very light and crispy! For entrees I'm a sucker for their nachos, each one is made individually versus the giant pile approach so you get a perfect bite each time and no soggy chips. I had the fajita beef on them today and have to say that will prob be my go to from now on. Other favorites: green hatch steak burrito and chicka chicka boom. Given how much I enjoy the food we unfortunately haven't been impressed with the service. It is a struggle to get anything and the staff doesn't check in frequently. If they could improve that I'd rate it higher for sure. read more

Chuy's - Appetizer sampler, perfect for sharing! - Tex-Mex Near Me - Beavercreek, Ohio

The waitresses are nice and the chips they make right there are delicious, but the food sucks. The frozen marguerita made me sick all night .It was awful . The beans taste like dog food. The food is too spice, but with no flavor. They don't put cheese on the dishes or pico de gallo sauce. The rolled tacos were gross. I forced myself to eat one. Victor's Taco's in Xenia is much better and delicious. read more

I had a great time at Chuy's! The neon lights and framed pictures of Elvis definitely look inviting. The entire restaurant looks like a traditional 1950s diner with a Tex-Mex twist! The bar looks bright and cheery with cute animal prints. My friendly, charming waiter helped me with my menu choices and refilled my water several times. I ordered a chicken chalupa and taco plate. Another waiter informed me of the 4-7pm happy hour! I enjoyed the chips with the spicy salsa and the jalapeno cream dressing! Mix the guacamole on top, and it tastes so comforting. Located by the Fairfield Mall, Chuy's is the perfect destination to relax with some Tex-Mex and a margarita! I am so glad that the mall is expanding and developing its dining options! I would highly suggest visiting during the evening as well! read more

This is my go to spot. Tortilla soup is amazing. Happy hour nacho bar is a fantastic deal. I also like the ponchos and oven cooked chicken and tomatillo sauce. Service is always on point! read more

Had Chuy's takeout in Beavercreek last night, it was so good!! They had it ready fast and the food was perfect!!

The service made me feel weird. The hostess at the front door was sweet. The waitress was questionable and the cook messed up my order 3 times. Did you do it the 3rd time for fun? The manager Chris seemed to be the man...Unless he was acting lol.. BUT he seemed to be genuinely nice and humble man. Food, the bit I tasted was yummy. And because of the food and Chris's service they get 4 stars. read more

Chuy's - Yum! - Tex-Mex Near Me - Beavercreek, Ohio

I went in for some drinks and to try out the nacho car everyone was raving about. The waitress was great! She was friendly, fast, & answered any questions we had. The drinks were good but the nacho car was underwhelming! I expected there to be toppings for nachos but the cart only has chips, ground beef, queso, & refried beans. The beef was warm at best and the queso was not good! I didn't try the beans because I'm not a fan of them but they didn't look appetizing. On another note I did enjoy the amazing salsa and the jalapeño sauce they give at the table! I couldn't stop eating it!! The salsa was so fresh and just a little spicy which is fine for me. I don't think I'll ever go back because the set up was a little to chaotic for me but our waitress rocked! Had it not been for her I would give only 1 star! read more

This is a must stop whenever I'm in the Dayton area. Big Beef Burrito and a Sweet Tea make my day.

We had awesome service sitting at a high-top table in the bar during happy hour from Megan Food and drinks came out fast as usual, always appreciated. She let us try the frozen margaritas on special before ordering - blackberry was delicious! Would recommend! Tacos al carbon were delicious and filling, especially with free happy hour nachos prior. Plenty of food, I didn't touch my sides (rice & beans), so had them leftover for lunch the following day. read more

2.5 stars. Mediocre food. Subpar guacamole. Table salsa waaay too spicy for mild table salsa. Complimentary tortilla chips that come with the salsa are waaay too thin and break too easily, especially when used to scoop guac. The Elvis Presley enchilada platter was ok (3 or 3.5 out of 5). The oversized burritos were average (2.5 to 3 out of 5). Chuy's is a hip Austin TX export. But there's much better TexMex in Austin. (Torchy's Tacos anyone?? -- best guac on the planet! Best queso on the planet! Fantastic taco and burrito offerings!) This was our second outing at Chuy's. Our first was better -- a midweek meal at a Chuy's in Austin TX -- there we got to sample the happy hour nacho bar 3.5 out of 5). That first experience was decent enough to get us back for a second visit to a Chuy's. But after this visit, no need to come back. Dining experience and food were just too underwhelming and mediocre. The food at Chiapas is much much much MUCH better. (5 out of 5. Seriously. We are lucky to have Chiapas in the Dayton area!) The food at Abuelos is much better. (4 out of 5) The food at Qdoba is much much better. (4.5 out of 5) read more

I'm so excited to try this place out. It's the Tex-Mex place I've been pining for. The queso is delightful and I could drink their salsa. Just put that stuff in a mug, it's fresh and limey and delightful. Very fresh chips and they make the tortillas in house. The enchiladas were great, the shredded chicken is a little bland on its own but the mammoth taste of all of their sauces makes up for this. The taco meat is great and not greasy or over seasoned, it's just right. Definitely going to be a regular place for us to check out. Service has been great the couple of times we have been there so far. read more

It's a good place for a family dinner. The portions are very generous. I really like the chips with the different types of dip the staff brings to the table while you wait for the food. Only downer- the restaurant is very loud. read more

When it's good it good. But it's very inconsistent on quality and ingredients. Every time I order the same thing and it's always different in the way it's made. Like today I got veggie enchiladas and it's supposed to come with a variety of veggies and cheese but all I got was onions, peppers, and burnt spinach. No squash or cheese. It's just very unreliable ... I feel like ever since the pandemic started and they've had to do carry out, they've been ripping me off. read more

My boyfriend and I live in Canton, Ohio but I was originally from the area so I was excited to take him to the biggest mall I've ever been to. After a day of walking we had gotten pretty hungry, and noticed this place on the way in, and saw how busy it was. It must be good if it's that busy! I took the time to read the reviews on yelp before going in. Since it was mostly positive, I was happy to give it a try. My first thought: THIS PLACE IS LOUD. Don't get me wrong, I know that it was busy and everyone was talking. But it felt like they were trying to blare music over everyone's conversation. So that made it a bit unpleasant. The inside has a lot of fun decor and is very spacious, including outdoor dining. We sat behind a little window where we were able to watch the tortillas on a hot flattop as it was spinning around. I noticed the cook standing there the whole time was eating. Sanitation-wise, that's a big no-no. I highly recommend the manager check into that. Our server was crazy busy, but she did her job well. She gave a couple of recommendations and she kept our chips stocked at all times. However, also curious about the sanitation of using a large, plastic ice scoop and go from table to table and pour chips into the baskets. The manager may also want to follow up on that before the ODH gets their hands on that. The salsa they give with the chips is a little spicy. I like spicy, but other people may not have a taste for it. The chips were thin but it was pleasant even just on their own with a slight saltiness. I got the queso dip with them too, and that was definitely worth it (even though it was a little messy). The main dishes we ordered were pretty pleasant and I really cant complain about the food otherwise. Also at my own personal preference. I was unconformable when I received the silverware in a paper bag that had a bunch of religious sayings on it. I don't understand what religion has to do with a place like this? I don't live in the area and I don't visit often but I don't think I would come back even if I was in the area. I feel like there are plenty of other businesses in the area with much more to offer. 3/5 stars for good service, but ok food, with some questionable decisions. read more

The waiters are pretty nice and friendly, the only complaints I had was that the sprite tasted like it had a mix of fountain water in it. The waiter smelt like sweaty cigars, it was a weird body oder. I found a tiny piece of hair in my food which to be fair is sometimes hard to avoid. The steak burrito was pretty good, pretty interesting environment. Worst part was definitely the smelly cigarette smell. They switched out the sprite which was good and the waiter was also very very kind but just shouldn't be allowed to smoke on the job if she's gonna smell like cigarettes. read more

The service at Chuy's was bad. We sat at a table at the bar. No service. So we moved to dinning area. The waitress said the special was a dollar off skinny Margarita. We got the drinks Which had too much ice. Two sips and it was gone. $10.00 for the drink with too much ice. It was suppose to have a dollar off but I asked waitress and she blew me off. I called manager he did not take the dollar off. He was rude. His name is Eric Woehl. What a screw up. read more
