Fresh Tex Mex for a great price. This place wipes out the local fare of El Vaquero, Mi Tradition, Abuelos and La Fogata. Yes, I said it. I can't hate when a restaurant chooses to simplify there food and actual make it from scratch. I would visit this location before everyone hears about it. It will be a mad house thereafter. We were greeted at the door and quickly escorted to the hub room. Let me explain, they have 3 separate parts of the dining area, the hub room, the art room and the palm tree room. (Not sure if these are official names but you get the idea) The hub room was artistically decorated in old cars and old hub caps overhead. The music heard throughout the restaurant was contemporary and it made me happy or maybe it was the freshly squeezed lime juice and tequila in my margarita. The chips and salsa come right to your table. Beware, grab a drink before you eat it, especially if spicy is not your thing. My husband and I love spicy so this was even kicked up for us. Our fabulous server Joey brought us a creamy jalapeño sauce that was delicious. Omg, ranch fans round up! I ordered the flautas, hand rolled corn tortillas stuffed with shredded chicken topped with a chipotle sauce. Charro beans and rice along with guac and sour cream came along with the flautas. I was told that the side dishes are 100% vegetarian and no lard is used. Good to know! I am excited to have this place in Columbus and will be back for sure. read more

Love this place. I've intro duced it to everyone I know. Here now, easy to get a seat , ready to meet another friend who has never been here. I will say I dislike the bartender calling me hun and honey to a weird degree. So weird... we're not at Cracker Barrel. Update:: We had a GREAT bartender/waiter tonite... PROPS to Devin! read more

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

I wish I had taken pictures! Came here for a birthday lunch a few weeks ago. As a dog lover I really appreciate the decor since there are a ton of funny dog pictures all over the restaurant! My favorite dish is hands down the veggie enchilada but that being said the Chicka boom boom burrito is phenomenal because of the boom sauce. The Chicka boom boom is very heavy and large so I prefer getting the enchiladas since I can actually finish a majority of it. They have a ton of sauces to choose from if you want extra on the side and my recommendations would be to get the jalapeño ranch with your tortilla chips salsa and the boom boom sauce on whatever entrée you ge tcan never finish the Chicka boom boom so the veggie enchilada so Definitely request the boom boom sauce on whatever you get because that is it total game changer. read more

I ordered the Elvis Green Chile Verde Fried Chicken and it was amazing! Fried chicken crusted in Lays potato chips on chile verde. In all honesty I was pretty shocked on how good the food tasted. I guess have have been use to mediocre Mexican restaurants. My friend ordered the Veggie enchilada. Food tastes better than the pictures if that tells you anything. It's definitely worth a trip if you've never been before. Looking forward to going back with more friends. read more

went for lunch with girlfriends, had the skinny margarita, and the chicken deluxe enchiladas. First the chips and ranch dip and salsa was excellent, the ranch dip is just the right amount of ranch and with a hint of spice, delicious. My enchiladas were so good, and the food came out very fast too. read more

Chuy's - Grande margarita - Tex-Mex Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Food was good. Ordered queso but it came crusted over. Service was horrible. Server never did a table tap after dropping off food. No drink refills were offered or food checked on. Restraunt was freezing cold. Had to wear our coats during dinner. HVAC ducts are pointed at the tables and just blow cold air. No wait when we arrived, but now I know why. read more

My friends have been trying to get me to go here for awhile now. I've heard great things. So for dinner we were able to try it out. We were there during happy hour. They have specials on margaritas and the queso, chips, salsa, beans and meat are free from 4pm-7pm. Our server was great. He let us sample the margarita to make sure we were going to like it. I ordered the chuychanga. It was huge and so filling. You can choose the kind of sauce you want on any of your entrees. They have a list of them from mild to hot. My friends ordered one of the hot ones and was sweating through his meal from the heat. I will definitely be coming back. read more

Actually, 3.5 stars. My friends and I loved the frozen margs. I got the swirl- which I believe is strawberry and lime mixed together. The other margs we had were traditional lime and the limited time blackberry. Seriously good across the board. Chicken/beef fajitas were wonderful! I didn't try the quesadilla we ordered, but we really loved sharing chips with queso, creamy jalapeño dip, and salsa. Those fajitas were BOMB! I just wish the service had been better. It wasn't the worst, but just seemed like our server was really inexperienced. Not at all enough to prevent us from returning! Just a note. read more

Overall, Chuy's is decent Mexican food for a decent price. I'd give the quality 3.5 stars, but I'm rounding up to 4 stars because of the quantity - I can eat a lot, and I was very full after my meal. You start off by receiving thin chips with traditional salsa and some sort of jalapeno ranch dip; I wasn't a fan of the dip, but my girlfriend liked it. The salsa tasted great, but was a little more liquid than I prefer. For the main course, I ordered the Chicken Fajitas. Much to my delight, when I asked for no sour cream, our waitress offered to swap it out for an extra scoop of guacamole! I was impressed by both the quantity and the delivery of the fajitas - all the ingredients were nicely sorted and the plate was sizzling! The restaurant itself was nice as well. Lots of seating and interesting decor. read more

We dined Wednesday 8/18/2021 6:45ish : Ample parking, although the lot layout is weird. They don't take reservations but offer a waitlist. We were seated quickly after a quoted 30min wait. The restaurant is so unique and eclectically decorated. Gives off a energizing vibe. We were greeted quickly by our server which we really appreciated. The chips + salsa + dip was IMO ok- the salsa was pretty acidic but also spicy-hot so I didnt go back for seconds (my husband enjoyed it though.) I didn't know what the other dip was, it might have been ranch for another table? It tasted like ranch dressing. We all ordered cocktails, I had a Rum drink that was DELISH! Balanced, not too sweet. I think it was the King something. Husband had 2 margaritas & mom had something resembling a Shirley temple. The cocktails were 5 stars! We started with the Queso that was a soupy, I had the Steak Fajita which came with lots of toppings on the side, My husband had a burrito, My mom had the chickenchanga - we all thoroughly enjoyed our dinners. 5 stars! Its not an overall 5 star because we didn't receive side plates with our queso & since it was so soupy it dripped all over the the table. But this is an easy fix- PLEASE drop off side plates with the chips & dips. The guests will appreciate it! We were asked to order our dinner before our queso came out so we felt a little rushed. I understand this is a fast dining concept but I wish our server picked up that we wanted to take our time, talk, & enjoy one thing at a time. BUMMER; we were not offered desert. We were there to celebrate my husbands birthday & we all wanted to try the tres leches cake but the check was dropped so we decided to head out. It was overall a great experience. I think they can fix the few issues I brought up & I'm hoping they will for the next time we go. Wait time + dinner, 2 hours. read more

I was very impressed with Chuy's. The Americanized Mexican food tasted great, the restaurant was clean, and the service was impeccable. I'll definitely be back, sooner rather than later. read more

Met family here the other day- it was an easy place to meet, and everyone liked Mexican food. It worked great for that- the service was outstanding for our big party with several kids. The food is decent Tex-Mex. Authentic Mexican? No. Pretty good, and reasonably priced? Yes. It's the usual tacos, burritos, etc., with rice and beans. There are a few unusual things on the menu, but most are the standards. I had the daily special, a deep-fried avocado. Maybe a little weird, but good: fresh avocado, shredded chicken, with a thin panko coating. Sided with okay rice and beans. Good, not great. They are proud of their sauces, but I was unimpressed. The salsa at the table was thin and watery, but tasted fine, and had a fair amount of heat. The jalapeno ranch is, as others said, pretty much just ranch. It's a good ranch, but didn't work well with the chips, at least to me. I upgraded to "boom boom" sauce with my entree, and it was a thin cheesy sauce with a little heat and some veggies. Meh, I'd pass. Sweetie and I shared tres leches cake, a huge, moist, super sweet hit. I'd go back for a similar event, but probably not on my own. Plenty of better Mexican places around, and better restaurants in general. But for a handy Tex-Mex meet-up spot, it was good. read more

Chuy's - Taco dinner. - Tex-Mex Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

A good friend lived in Austin for several years and when it was announced that a Chuy's location would be in Columbus she said I had to go. It's been on my To Visit List for a while and when I had a day off and was around the corner, I decided this was the day I'd stop in for lunch. My server brought me the creamy jalapeño Sadie for my chips. It was okay. He said it had a ranch base and I'm not a fan of ranch. The chips were light, crisp, and not greasy. I had the Chicka Chicka Boom Boom Enchilada. The ingredients tasted fresh. The heat factor progressed the more I ate. I loved it. read more

I've heard about this place and finally stopped in. What I first liked was the decorations at the bar. Different, weird and colorful. They have 2 complimentary dips for chip dipping..salsa and a white jalepeno dip. Our first basket of chips was super stale but got them quickly replaced. Typical Mexican joint that offers the usual burritos, tacos, enchiladas combos, fajitas. I got the combo where you could taste everything. I wasn't super wowed at all as most Mexican places taste the same. I still think el vaquero is the best. Didn't care for the enchilada red sauce. The burritos looked really good I should have went with one of those instead. The rice you can opt for the spicy style which was pretty good. Not impressed at all. read more

We were looking forward to trying this restaurant, what a disappointment. Took forever to get our drinks, both my husband and my dinners were wrong, and the waitress could have cared less. We had to flag down another waitress just to get silverware. Very poor service all around. Food was just not good and was boring. It's a one and done for this place! read more

Not worth your time! Watered down lemonade, dirty floors and mediocre food! Shrimp tacos were not hot, cheeses enchiladas were overdone!

This is literally my favorite Tex-mex in the city. I could eat the chicken fajita big as your face burrito everyday lol, but I've noticed here lately that every time I order my food to go it's never good. When I dine in I never have a bad experience and their servers are pretty awesome too. Today I ordered a Chicken fajita big as your face burrito. I barely had any chicken inside of it and the chicken that I did have was totally burnt and dried out. Also, my queso was watered down and really runny and that never happens. The manager did offer a refund which was nice, but I really just wanted my food. read more

Food was great and the service was even better. The waitress was amazing. Our drinks were replenished without asking and she remembered all our requests.

I don't even know where to start with this review. I'm not a huge fan of Chuy's but it was my friend's birthday and he loves it so I had to come and support. Anyway, it's always busy here in the evenings. My friends and I were a group of 8. I got here around 5:15 and we waited maybe 15 minutes? Maybe it was shorter than that but it definitely didn't feel like a long wait. There were a ton of other groups waiting for a table too. Just busy, busy! It was a Sunday evening though. The guy came and asked for drink orders pretty quickly. He did a good job of giving refills too. Pretty attentive. I ordered the taco salad which they brought out after everyone else. I think they must've forgotten the order. Anyway, it came without the salad dressing...they were busy so I get it. I kinda didn't care as the salad tasted pretty mediocre. It tasted fresh though. The chicken was charred...maybe a little too much. The waiter checked up and asked if they brought out the dressing and then brought some out. How nice! Though at that point, a two star rating was all I had in mind. Chips are pretty thin. Sooo thin. Salsa is alright. The ranch sauce is good but nothing spectacular for me to come back and get. Overall, eh. I'm not coming ever again. It's not the best. I think the prices are bang for your buck. I was full and couldn't finish my food. But save your money. There's better Tex Mex out there. read more

my wife ordered a paloma. It came with a curly black hair on top of the ice which she pointed out to the waiter. so the waiter took the drink and returned with it without the hair but also about .5 inches less drink. obviously the waiter poured out an ounce or so eliminating said hair. rather than being a Karen about it she left it alone, didn't drink it and left disgusted. we won't be back. read more

Fun atmosphere, good food! Growing up, we used to eat at Chi-Chi's at Westland mall all the time. I LOVED the enchiladas there, and nothing ever really compared (yes, the more authentic variants around town are still very good, but they're not the same) until I visited Chuy's. Their enchiladas taste like my childhood and I love it. I love the chips, that ranch sauce they have, I love the fun interior, and I especially love those Tex-mex enchiladas. The service has always been friendly and fast. The prices are great, the kids meal options please both of my picky eaters. If I were basing my rating on today's experience alone, it'd probably be a 3 star. Our server dropped off the check right when the food came out, and after he dropped off a copy for me to sign and a box for leftovers I think we ceased to exist at the time. I was letting my son finish his fries, and I wanted to get him a refill on milk. It took several minutes for anyone to walk by, and without a glance in our direction before they scurried off in the other direction. I eventually had to get up to find someone who could refill the milk. Mildly annoying, but it was just a sour note to end an otherwise fine dining experience. read more

Chuys has been one of me and my moms favorite restaurants for a long time. They have the best chips and salsa and CREAMY JALAPEÑO. We go here for lunch mainly but it's also good for dinner. The tortilla soup is an amazing clear broth with very fresh ingredients and it is always amazing. If I'm looking for something heavier i also love the steak tacos and the chimichanga. Love this place! read more

I've only been here for lunch - and it's been good. I mean, it's not the "best" tex-mex I've ever had, but it's good for those lunch cravings when taco bell isn't quite enough and condado seems out of your price range (or you have ten people doing lunch together). I suppose they really shine on their togo orders (12-15 people, zero wrong food orders) and large groups (even when we had the trainee - a table of 12, and people arriving late - they had the food orders straight, drinks refilled, chips and salsa filled). So it's kind of... mainstream? Like it reminds me of those very bright... family-friendly Mexican-wannabe restaurants. I mean, it's not overly remarkable for a chain - but they make good food, they have good service, and they did well with large groups, which for the area, is saying something. read more

Food was horrible and cold - very disappointing. The refried beans were like soup. Do better

Busy as heck on a Saturday evening, but even during the height of Christmas shopping season, parking can be found/had fairly easily in the lot ifo the establishment. Wait times are long, however if you're in a party of two, I recommend keeping your eyes peeled for the smaller tables in the bar area. They are first come first serve and can be grabbed. Service was great, drinks were cold, and food is superb. As most Mexican restaurants give complimentary chips and salsa, Chuys gives out excellent chips with thick pico de gallo, and a type of ranch dipping sauce which is to die for. I can't wait to eat here again! read more

Chuy's has great Tex-Mex food. The restaurant decor of interesting. It seems like random objects that seem to go together. The service was great. Their chips and salsa to start are tasty with fresh and warm chips. Their tortillas are fresh also. I usually get their fajitas which are amazing! They also have many salsas which you should try. The creamy jalepeño was good and different. I highly recommend Chuy's! read more

When it all comes down to it. I will probably say that Mexican food is my fav. So it's kind of a surprise that I've never been to Chuy's yet. I decided to give it a try while meeting with a long friend over lunch. One thing I can say for sure is the food is good. However it is not knock your socks off kind of good, but very solid. I got Steak and Chicken fajitas, with added shrimp. The sides it came with were a nice good size. My Fajitas I got were cooked perfectly and the flavor was very good. I'd probably say that the steak had the best flavor out of all my proteins. Make sure to try the Jalapeno Cream sauce, that come with the chips. It legit goes good on everything. Probably the thing i will remember the most about this place. Its THAT good. My friend got tacos and he also had a big helping of sides with it. They will make sure that you are full, that's for sure. Service was very nice. We sat at the bar. The bartenders were very friendly and engaged. They made sure that we had everything we needed and were very quick. Someone from the kitchen brought me out beans which I asked not to. And she noticed without me saying anything and brought me out what I asked for super quick. As soon as I walked in I noticed the colors. It looked like your typical Mexican food restaurant. It wasn't very sleek or anything like that. Nothing really special inside. This place is pretty solid. But it doesn't offer anything outstanding. But its good place to go and get your Mexican favorites. You won't be disappointed. Id recommend this to anyone craving Mexican for sure. read more

This review is for carryout only. The process to pick up was super easy as you text a number once you pull in and they run the food to your car. Service was really fast. Portions wise, it was in line with what you'd get if you order inside the restaurant. They also give a huge bag of chips with the salsa and cilantro sauces on the side. Overall, it's a pretty good carryout option. read more

My sister and I took the kiddos to lunch on a sunny Saturday and Chuy's was the winning spot. My sister said their salsa is her favorite and it was close by, can't argue with that! We arrived and were immediately greeted by the host at the front of the restaurant. We opted to sit outside due to the beautiful weather and after making our way to their patio, we got comfortable. And by comfortable, I mean we sat in the sun for 15 minutes before our server even brought over water. Yes, he acknowledged us and said he would be over but goodness. I'm hoping he was new and still figuring things out because the entire experience was really slow. Other than that, our lunch was great. The kids enjoyed cheeseburgers and quesadillas and the adults all got tacos. I went with the Baja tacos and got one shrimp and one fish with a side of green chile rice and refried beans (not cooked with meat, woohoo!). I had been a little under the weather and my eyes were bigger than my appetite, but the rice was great and I loved how crunchy the shrimp/fish was. I was also impressed with the freshly made tortillas. I immediately noticed that they had to have been made in-house. It was a huge plate of food and I wish I could have eaten it all. The kids devoured their grub and my sis enjoyed hers as well. Overall, the thing that stood out to me most was how great this place was for kids. They had placemats for the kids to color and the kids menu had a little bit of everything. My sister was not kidding about their salsa and I would definitely come back to try more of the menu when I'm not feeling as icky. Word on the street is they are opening a new location in the Polaris area and with over 100 locations around the U.S., they are certainly doing the tex-mex concept right. read more

Surprised this place doesn't have a higher rating! I say it's a solid 4 * * * * First, don't expect fine dining. It's still Tex Mex. Second, it's certainly a step up from other chains like Chili's -- quality is better, fresher, and quite honestly tastier. Third, free nacho bar (yes limited hours and toppings) is still fun and not a bad win. Overall, the winner for me is the super thins crisp tortilla chips (free), slightly spicy salsa (free), and most of all the white ranch jalapeno sauce (also free)! It's unlimited and delicious. Wifey and I have to make sure we don't over gorge on the chips so we can enjoy our chicken fajitas. read more

I ordered a takeout steak burrito and a kids taco. The free chips and salsa were excellent. The tortilla in the burrito was stale and chewy and contained a modest amount of tasty but dry steak and a little cheese. The box contained about 2-3 tablespoons of rice and very runny beans. The kids taco was filled with a small amount of well seasoned ground beef and a little cheese and an amount of beans and rice similar to the adult portion, read more

This was our second time here as our first was when this place first opened and well before their second location in the Polaris area was even opened and boy what a change! Service was stellar but the food was middle of the road. No chorizo on premises which was a bummer. Didn't trust their mixed drinks as the waitress couldn't tell me which was the strongest and I didn't want to fall in the trap of ordering a $10 plus cocktail or margarita that's all mixer and no alcohol. The plain queso was overpriced as it was barely warm and had a weird film or skin on top like it had been sitting somewhere! The chips were awesome as always as they are hot, light, crisp, with the perfect touch of salt. In all honesty the best part of the entire meal were the chips. Wife ordered the chimichanga which she said seemed like it was barely flat top grilled as opposed to deep fried. Nevertheless flat top or deep fried or not she said it wasn't that good as the fillings on the inside were sparse and seemed like a bunch of lettuce and not much else. She offered me a taste but it looked underwhelming so I passed. I kept it on the safe side and ordered steak fajitas as nothing else on their menu jumped out at me. Presentation of the fajitas were good and accoutrements were plentiful but the steak itself was sinewy and chewy. The only reason we drove out here was because we were reminiscing over the first time we hit this spot up but we've satisfied our Jones for this place and won't ever be back because think of all the middle of the road Mexican places we passed on the way just to come here under the false assumption that the experience would be the same as our very first! Overall the QUALITY of their food has fallen off. Moral of the story: You can't live in the past! 2 Stars for the Service and Chips only. read more

Chuy's - Steak Fajitas - Tex-Mex Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

I have not been here since before they officially opened. I just haven't found myself over at Easton Gateway wanting food. However, in the last few weeks I've been here twice. I have no complaints but, that could be a result of their delish margaritas. Any place that squeezes their own limes for margaritas is a okay in my book. Not only does Chuys make solid margaritas, they also produce some tasty food. The things I've had have been flavorful and balanced. Today I had the vegetarian combo plate. The highlight for me has been the chili rellenos. I have found the beans and rice well spiced and balanced each time I've had them. Customer service has been great to boot that I'm looking forward to meeting my wife at Chuys for drinks and salsa during their happy hour. read more

I love this place!!! I've been about 3 times so far and i keep coming back. The chika chika boom boom enchiladas are so spicy and good! I'm addicted to Mexican food and this place is amazing. I haven't had anything off the menu i don't like. Great happy hour too cuz there's a nacho car! Yes a green car with a trunk full of beef, cheese and everything to make nachos lol love it! read more

Never had a bad dish love Chuy's my go too when I want Mexican food. Highly recommended

Have been going to chuys every couple of months for a couple of years now. Online res: the interface is easy to use and tells you how long the wait will be. The frustrating part is that upon arrival, they add on time (we had a 45 min wait online + 20 min wait in person) which was not specified before arrival Food: ordered the 3 enchiladas which were... pretty empty and disappointing. The steak fajita was better. The food came out super slowly this time around and we waited bout 40 minutes. The best part about chuys are the chips and salsa. Huge fan. read more

If there were 10 stars we would give it 10. We are regulars here and we're lucky enough to get in the very first night they opened and LOVE this place. Tex-Mex style food and the portions are huge and the prices are great too. They will let you "mix it up" and switch the sauces around if you want something other than what the menu suggest which is very nice! *****make sure you ask for a bowl of their Creamy Jalepeno dip (free) with your Salsa. It taste just like the Doritos ranch flavor and also ask your server for one of their "frequent customer cards" with your bill and you will earn free meals from them with ease ! read more
