Great food, and the jalapeño ranch dip is life changing. They even make their own tortillas. The only problem I have is the wait is always long. Probably because the food is so good. read more

The drink menu is awesome. Sit and enjoy good food, a nice margarita and look out at the city from the patio. Nice friendly place.

I was few disappointed this time when I ate there. Found hair in the dip and waiter acted like no big deal. No apology or anything. Food was not that great and couple of orders was missed up. read more

Love this place! I love the creamy jalapeño and the fajitas. They are always so nice and I could eat there all the time. We eat there 4-5 times a month. read more

The service was adequate, but it was obvious the server was more interested in flipping the table than anything else. The food did not have a lot of fresh Mexican/Southwest flavors I was expecting for the price. The food reminded me and tasted similar to the frozen meals you would buy at the mega mart to reheat in the microwave. read more

The food is delicious, the atmosphere is fun, and the staff there is sweet. It's a great place to go to for a fun night out!

We always love it here!! Have to have it every time we come to Birmingham. Love the atmosphere more than the food actually. Our favorite is the chips and salsa but it was so hot this time we couldn't hardly eat it. Still so good! Didn't have the best experience with the hostess but other than that it was great! read more

It's just not good food. Service is friendly, and it's a fun atmosphere, but the good is simply below average and overpriced. Good margaritas if you catch the happy hour deal, but that free food bar at happy hour is gross. read more

Love this place in general. Wish the area outside for parking was better, but hey they can't help that. Be prepared to wait on days that it's warm and people are on the patio. Food is is overall good. Their jalapeño dip is the bomb!!!! Drinks can be pricey, so if you come for those be prepared to spend a wad of cash. Haven't had any bad experiences inside the restaurant itself. :) read more

Addicted to the Happy Hour nacho bar. Cheese, salsa, ground beef and chips there for your endless consumption. They have a good selection of frozen margaritas...the mango is delish! We have also had the chicken quesadillas and they are excellently tasty. They are busy during happy hour but it's self seating outside and at the bar. The outdoor seating area is open and nice; great view from the top of the Summit hill. read more

Never again! Horrible service, the bar was slammed and understaffed, the nacho bar was filthy and not kept running, AND the management was unhelpful and RUDE. read more

This place is fantastic! I have yet to have a sour experience here. The wait can be long but when you clearly see if packed.... it is understandable. The complimentary chips and salsa is to die for and the creamy jalapeño dip is one of a kind, I've been to many places. They are very kid friend and have wonderful t-shirts that are available for sale! They are witty and funny. I have had just about every thing on the menu and not found one thing I didn't like. Example would be the fajitas come to you like a king in Separate containers for the rice beans and toppings. The tortillas are made fresh and in the open for everyone to see. Tip, if you was white queso... specify. Their queso is a meaty with salsa and a yellow cheese. Not your average queso. They bar brinks are great and not syrupy sugar messes most places do. It is crisp and fresh. The desert, tres-letche cake is moist but not so rich you can only eat one bite, before you know it you have eaten it all yourself. The staff is great and the view is amazing when you eat outside or when waiting. read more

The food isn't good. Plain and simple. I'm very unimpressed with the quality and the pricing. The nachos looked like they'd been sitting out for several hours before there got to the table. The frozen drinks are ok, but that's about it. I also like the view. Parking is nearly impossible on that side of the summit as wells read more

I went on a recommendation of a friend and I had a good meal with solid service. I ordered the chicken fajita burrito which was huge and had some nice flavor to it. I sat at the bar and there were some interesting patrons which kept me entertained. read more

Solid place to eat! The wait will be the only thing that dampers your visit but it is wort it for the authentic and fresh food that you get. Salsa is FANTASTIC!!!! read more

Service needs some improving. The food is not great. I feel like it is overpriced for what you get.

It's a family favorite! We love the people, the location and especially the prices. My server was excellent! Very polite and she her job and most of all she treated us as if we were her only customers. The food came out hot and in a timely fashion. If you have never experienced this place you are missing out on something good. read more

Our food was really good and so was our waiter. We have been there two times and our waiters both times were good. The first time we went we had Brian who was white and he was great. The second time we went we requested Brian (the hostess failed to tell us they have two Brians) and the other Brian who was black did not disappoint. The food was good, but the service is what keeps us coming back and we will be back. read more

I'm a fish tacos fanatic, so I almost always get the Baja Fish Tacos, which are delicious. Of course, Chuy's is located at the Summit, so you can expect a wait almost any night you go, and it's especially busy on the weekends -- but if you're with friends, the wait and mess of decor (reminding you that this is a chain restaurant) aren't a problem. It's not somewhere I'd want to go on a date, but my guy and I have ordered take-out a few times and it's been good every time. You definitely get a LOT of food for your money, and it's usually ready within 20-25 minutes of calling. read more

Solid food, decent prices, good service, and an amazing view!

Chuy's has done nothing to improve by expanding, especially to Birmingham. I recall fondly when Chuys was in Austin, a single location and innovator of its own style of Tex Mex. The. concept did not travel well. Our experience at Chuys in Birmingham was below average. The chicken soft tacos were just plain awful, basically cold chicken fajita meat in a cold corn tortilla. Salsa was mild as ketchup, but with less flavor. Service was great and sat outdoors on a beautiful day--nice covered patio, too. The ambience and service; however, couldn't make up for the commoditized and dull food, that lacked any originality. Might have well have gone to Chilis, where at least you KNOW you're going to get and are prepared for assembly-line style cuisine. read more

Good food but slow service. Waiter wasn't the friendliest. The past few visits we have had bad service.

Love Chuy's! Wonderful food!!!! Always a great time. Always good service. Always take our family and friends

Our visit to Chuy's at Summit was our 3rd time during a very busy night. Despite the large crowd, we were seated rather quickly. The service was remarkable and our server was awesome. The chips and queso were the best I've ever eaten. Our entrees were huge and absolutely delicious. Go hungry, enjoy, and leave stuffed!! read more

Food is amazing and you can't beat the view (during sunset and after). Highly recommended but its always crowded, so make sure you go a little early. read more

Loud is the first thing that comes to mind. You feel like you almost have to yell to for your dining partners to hear you. The food is ok, nothing special, and a bit overpriced for what it is. I also once ordered a special that was basically a fancier version of Taco Bell's Crunchwrap and was greeted by the unpleasant surprise of a mouthful of completely raw chicken. Did I mention how loud it is? read more

The steak burritos are great plus if you can eat two, they're free.

Great food and service! The Baja grilled shrimp taco was amazing and the steak burrito was delicious. I will come back to this place again when I'm in Birmingham! Thanks for the great service and atmosphere. read more

This is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in Birmingham and Atlanta. Please splurge a little and get more help for the waitstaff...our server was wonderful but the service, through no fault of hers, was very slow....need to hire more waiters/waitresses!!!! read more

GET THE JALAPENO SAUCE! Its not spicy at all... its like a really good version of ranch and Im OBSESSED. And the blood orange margarita on the rocks is the best drink they have. Love. read more

1st time here and loved it! You can DEF get full off of chips , salsa, Jalepeno ranch, and queso dip. Mmmmm mmmmmm mmmmmmmmn!!!!

I thought the chips and salsa were delicious! I also had the chicken enchiladas. Next time we'll eat outside as I heard the view was amazing!! I'll definitely be back! read more

DAMN GOOD FOOD! rude hostess but nice server. Quick service. Delicious food. Winded salsa and jalapeño ranch. Great view!!! I highly recommend eating here:) read more

Nasty just nasty! The burritos are frozen so you cant change the type of meat that's in them. The chips and salsa are pretty good, but the service and food is bad. Just bad! read more

Had the Mucho Burrito and it was nice. The nachos come with two salsas, a traditional and creamy jalapeño, LOVE the jalapeño. It's getting 4 instead of 5 because of the state of the bathrooms. It was rush time, but there was water all over the floor and trash can overflowing with paper towels. read more

If I could leave negative stars I would. The hostesses were oblivious. We were told our wait would be 30 minutes. After an hour we asked how much longer and were told 30 more minutes. When I turned the pager in I wasn't even apologized to. Will NEVER be returning. read more

The waitress spilled a drink on my daughter and the food was seasoned. I did like the salsa. The wait wasn't bad.

Take my advice. Eat the chips & salsa. Ask for jalapeño ranch dip (free) and order a bowl of soup. The food is mediocre; the soup is DELICIOUS. Bonus: leaving w/a smile, $ in the pocket, and not stuffed & miserable. Sit at thebar w/Angie; she's very sweet read more

We eat at this Chuy's frequently and have had good experiences the majority of the time. We often sit outside to enjoy the view or grab a seat at the bar if we are in a hurry. Food is good. We have had great service by Syndey on more than one occassion. She is really good about making sure everything is just right and will make extra effort to fix whatever is not right. read more

Fun place. I would rate the restaurant as a whole 4 stars but 3 stars for the food. There is a lot better Mexican food in town. Nothing here is special. Still, it's a fun place to go. read more
