As far as mexican places go for sleevers normally it's out of the question, but not chuys!! My sister and I share a taco salad and I may have a little chip in queso because it's so good, but this place is so accommodating. no charge for meal splitting which is always a plus and they never have questioned why I don't eat my own meal and don't stare at me funny when I don't get a beverage! This place is one of my favorite places to eat by far! read more

Best Fresh Mex east of the Mississippi Tasty food, perfect textures, helpful servers (shout out to Frank P) and fun vibe. read more

Chuy's - Great Fresh Mex - Mexican Near Me - Glen Allen, Virginia

Great service and food as always! Took about 10 minutes to be seated on Saturday evening which is pretty good. Fajitas were hot and tender - sever did everything possible to make us feel welcome. Check was very reasonable for a full service sit meal read more

Fine, Middle of the road American Tex-Mex food. My food server was outstanding. She helped resolve a problem while I was there. Food quality good but not great. read more

Me and my 3 year old got food poisoning here (likely old rice) - this place needs a surprise health inspection stat. Had terrible service with loud, obnoxious manager lady trying to sneak in extra charges. If the management was different and the cleanliness better, it would be ranked MUCH higher for their amazing salsa and chips, delish tres leche and yummy sauces. read more

Could use some work on their flavors. Nothing really mild there. Can't compare to Mexico Restaurant.

ok, so I live in Austin where I eat Chuys all the time. Imagine my surprise they had a Chuys all the way up in Virginia where I was traveling. I usually have the Deluxe Chicken enchiladas. Right away these looked different. But I'm not going to base a meal on looks. After taking a bite I then noticed it tasted a little different. Not wildly different, it just had too much pepper. You could even see the pepper sprinkled about the chicken. I suppose it was alright. Even the chicken seemed a bit more chewy than what I am normally accustomed to at Chuys here in Austin. My brother-in-law had the fajitas and he offered me a taste. Again with the pepper! read more

Great little restaurant for a chain. Service and food very good Will return when in the area. Servers checked on us often. Party members loved the endless dole whip read more

This is a go-to whenever we are in Richmond, because the food here is GREAT! The chicken enchiladas are some of the best I've ever eaten. Don't be too put off by the theme restaurant design and service. Forgo all the crazy drinks and too-large desserts, and accept the overly friendly staff (always better than surly people who take forever with your food and orders). The bare boned stuff here is delicious. It's perfect for groups and kids. The prices are really reasonable as well. read more

Chuy's is a cute little chain that honestly when you walk in doesn't look like a Mexican restaurant but is. The food honestly isn't bad, it's pretty good, nothing to really be like omg I need to come back and eat this. Their menu is your typical Mexican restaurant menu. Everyone can find something they want to eat. Their chips and salsa are delicious I will say. Their chips are the thin crispy type. Their guacamole is kinda basic, it has good flavor but it needs more than just tomatoes. Overall if you are in the area and want Mexican food that's not qudoba or Taco Bell, chuy's will satisfy your craving! read more

Went to Chuy's for the first time while visiting in Richmond VA. I ordered the Boom Boom Chicken, excellent! A little spice with cheese, fresh chicken enchilada, and sides. Guac was delish. Can't go wrong with thin crispy, warm chips and white sauce. I was so taken with my meal, I didn't get what my family ordered but I know they enjoyed it. I will search out Chuy's in my travels. read more

If I had heard how multiple employees pronounce a Spanish double-L before walking in here, I'd have known to turn around and go anywhere else. No, it's not a chile RELL ehno, nor is it toma TILL o sauce. But let's go back to the beginning. I sat at the bar, as I am wont to do when eating alone. Although I did not ask for recommendations, the bartender was quick to tell me that he couldn't recommend anything, as everything was good. Then just shut up, dude. I ordered a combination platter with a chile relleno (reh YEN o) and an chicken enchilada, with "green chile sauce". What I received was a platter with a beef enchilada and the sauce had nothing green about it. ("Oh, it's a roux-based sauce, sir" I was told. Whatever, I ate my way across New Mexico on Route 66 and when I ordered green sauce it was, amazingly enough, green). While this food mistake was being taken care of (or so I thought... foreshadowing!), my beer glass sat empty, even though I was seated right next to the service bar. It was impossible that either of the bartenders couldn't see that, and leaving a customer dry when you've already made one mistake takes things to a whole 'nother level of bad. When the new plate of food was delivered, they'd gone ahead and replaced ONLY the enchilada. In the meantime, I'd left the other food there, assuming that the whole thing was being replaced, so of course that was cold. Rather than wait another 10 minutes for the food I'd originally ordered, I asked for a fresh relleno and started in on the enchilada. And STILL my beer sat empty. I had to wave my hands around to get somebody's attention. A manager came to see me seconds before the relleno was delivered, asking if I'd finally gotten all I needed. When that plate was set down by me, he said "Perfect!". I told him that no, this was far from perfect, but mostly he seemd to want to consider everything a success. In the end, my whole tab got comped, although I looked at the ticket sitting in front of me before that happened, and it actually had a charge listed for the re-ordered enchilada (or maybe it was the relleno). I get that it had to be entered into the POS system so that the kitchen would make it, but it NEVER should have appeared on my tab. Adios, Chuy's. read more

Great food at great prices! Plus, chips, salsa, queso are unlimited from 4-6pm. I had the Baja tacos with grilled shrimp. It was just the right portion and delicious. read more

Very trendy inside - super Mexicali inside - the food was yummy - cheese enchiladas minus the onions -- num num num!! My hubby ordered the cheese dip - which was also good - I feel like the bill was very reasonable as well!!! Also why is Yelp always yelling about longer post??? Don't people want to read something fast and easy???? read more

I have never been so disgusted at a restaurant as I was at chuys. We sat down and they brought out Chips n salsa and the salsa looked so disgusting that I can't even describe it. It was a weird pale tomatoe color with weird bubbly stuff in it and It immediately made me lose my appetite. My bf tried it and said it tasted of wet gym sox and old onion. We are not picky eaters especially when it comes to mex restaurants but we walked out and couldn't bring ourselves to try an entree at a place that would serve that sloppy weird salsa. read more

If, like me, you are a sucker for killer happy hours, free nachos, and cute animals, the bar at Chuy's is for you! Enjoy free nachos from the nacho bar (featuring light and crispy tortilla chips and fresh made salsa) while you partake in the nightly happy hour . The bar is covered in pics of cute dogs, and if you bring in a framed pic of your pup, they will not only put it on the wall, they will give you a free appetizer! While I'm mostly interested in Chuy's happy hours, I have tried their regular menu and it's pretty great too! The green chilie fried chicken is super spicy and crispy, and just great comfort food. Because Chuy's is new to the area, and in Short Pump, its always been packed to the gills whenever I've been there, but I guess that is to be expected. Awesome chain tex-mex and great deals on drinks. Sounds like a winning combo to me! read more

Sorry, I don't get it. I love good Mexican food and this is nowhere close. I come from Tucson so I know what good Mexican food is. Even if I didn't know what good Mexican food is I would NEVER classify Chuy's food as good. Certainly not "great" The food tastes canned and is EXTREMELY salty. In a word, Chuy's sucks. read more

Between the loud obnoxious music, staff who couldn't get anybody's orders straight and the mediocre food, I won't be going back. Beware restaurants that have tacky stuff all over the walls. . . distractions from what's on your plate. read more

I'm from Austin so I'm so happy to have a real texmex restaurant right near home. Love the food and the queso is awesome.

I haven't been to a Chuy's in perhaps a year or so and I was elated to come across this brand new Chuy's while visiting family in Richmond. I was salivating at the idea of dining here, but apprehensive that the same great flavors would not be available in this east coast outlier. But, thankfully, I was completely satisfied. Same addicting salsa and queso. Same delicious and strong Texas martini. Same outstanding chick a chick a boom boom. I loooooooove green chile. THIS is THE place for good times and great food. read more

After just having some great Mexican in the Fan this place did not even compare. I went for a work lunch so it's not like I was expecting an amazing experience but this place is pretty much just a straight up mexican chain with nothing too special. There are many better options out there and everything was just ok. Doubt I'll be back. read more

Worst Mexican food I ever had. This is what white people think is Mexican. Bland over conceived. I got the Special Chuy's Enchilada. Nothing special about it. Blue Corn Tortillas with chicken and cheese and no sauce. The Spanish rice was dry. NO Alcohol in the "special" Chuy Margarita. If you want a pre-packaged, nick-nack filed loud restaurant, come here. People think they can put up anything in Short Pump and make a fortune. Lot of cool thngs to look at, but your tongue will be ignored. read more

First time visit, will be my last. The only thing freshly made was the tortillas, chips and Salsa. The guacamole tasted like something I could pick up from the store. Now I know not all Mexican is made fresh but considering the prices for everything I thought something else would stand out or make this place unique. Granted this place is tex-mex I think it's more Texan then anything everything is Americanized including the beer selection which to no surprise there is nothing on Tap. Food was okay at most but not worth the prices the only person I felt sorry for more then anyone else there was the poor Spanish woman who probably gets paid less then everyone else to make tortillas behind a glass case. read more

The "Traditional Enchiladas" are actually covered in a verde sauce. No Bueno. The burrito was much better. 4.5 /5 according to mi hijo.

Amazing service as always! Servers are always punctual and ready to do anything that will satisfy their tables. Would have given five stars, however, I have to give three stars. The host that was working was too busy on FaceTime with both AirPods in to seat us, ignoring the fact that we were ready to be sat. read more

A couple of us went to Chuys for the first time this week. Not impressed. Nothing special. Not going back.

My absolute favorite place to eat! This location isn't my normal Chuy's but it's actually a lot slower and quieter every time I've gone in. The bartender, Aimee is great and the staff is too! Highly recommend! Anything you order will be amazing, I promise. I could eat here every day! The steak is the best thing! read more

AWESOME PLACE! Always come here during Happy Hour (Monday - Friday, 4-7 pm) at least once a week/every other week to just wolf down a ton of chips via their chip bar in the bar section of the restaurant. Chips + creamy jalapeño + refried beans + my Diet Coke = happiness! Best staff around so you all out there better treat them tenfold! Entree-wise, best bet is the oven roasted chicken burrito. Dip that in the creamy jalapeño = perfection read more

Love love love this restaurant! We drove especially from Maryland to visit this place since it's our favorite restaurant. We are from Houston and got introduced to it while in Texas. Try the creamy jalapeño sauce with the chips. Sometimes they don't bring it out so you have to ask for it. Also try the chicka chicka boom boom, which comes with boom boom sauce. They staff was nice and we got seated quickly. The food also came out timely and the margarita was amazing. Hands down the best Ted Mex place to visit :) read more

I went here with some friends and it was pretty good--I wasn't wowed though. I got the tacos al pastor for the Wednesday special. It was pretty good! My friend got the chimichangas and she said they were good too. I would come back, I just wouldn't rush back if you get what I mean. Also you can make reservations for a party of 4 and up! Enjoy! read more

There tortillas are awesome! Also, the waitress this time guided us to a "scret menu" this trip. We have Suzy Goo! it is rice with grilled chicken then nacho cheese on top! we asked for extra tortillas! YUMMY read more

Good chips, good salsa, good margaritas. It's your standard tex mex restaurant...kind of like On the Border, etc. The service was fast. They give you plenty of food. Everything was reasonably priced. Nothing really stood out as fabulous, though. read more

2 stars for the food, an extra star because of the amazing waitress!!!!! I wish I had gotten her name. I was a little disappointed by the menu, I didn't see anything that caught my eye. I didn't even come across chorizo on the menu which was disappointing. That was a sign for me that it wasn't going to be authentic. Our waitress was able to recreate a dish that's very popular in other Mexican restaurants, arroz con pollo y camarones. It wasn't the best here because this isn't authentic, but it was doable. The drink I had was amazing although I can not recall the name. read more

a bunch of Texans transplanted back in Va on vacation, this was a welcome find for dinner. Food is good, but we had to sit our party of 6 in the bar, with two wobbly tables pushed together. They were busy and our server was a little scattered. read more

I guess Chuy's is a southern chain restaurant? I don't think we have it in the North. Anyways the food was really good. I ate the small version of the chicken burrito which was still humungous! The queso dips and pico de gallo was tasty. read more

This place is great, I'm glad we finally stopped by. The ambiance is great. The salsa is amazing! The guauc is nothing special. Def not Plaza Azteca. The rest of out meal was outstanding! The best chile relleno I think I've ever had. Crispy and the sauce is great. If ur in the Pump and looking for solid Mexican/tex mex, stop in!! read more

Favorite restaurant for Mexican food! Free queso Monday through Friday from 4-7PM- which tastes incredible! Cool atmosphere. Wish that there were beers on tap. Highly recommend chicken quesadillas with blue corn tortillas! read more

Bad experience. Bad food. Bad service. Burnt chips. Consistently bad. Find a better Mexican restaurant. There's are few in the same neighborhood. read more

Chuy is a family friendly restaurant with a fun decor where the service was friendly, and menu reasonably priced. The food was fresh and good. This will probably become us go-to "American-Mexican" restaurant. read more

We always have a great time at Chuys every time we dine here! The food is very good, consistent, and affordable. The service is hit or miss, especially on weekends when it is super busy. You have to keep reminding the server to bring more chips and salsa. But overall, a great place to visit atleast once! read more
