I hate that I'm writing this review during the COVID-19 crisis, but I can't ignore eating bad food despite the circumstances. This is also another one of my, "I keep giving ____ (restaurant name) second and third chances," and ultimately being disappointed every single time. At least they are consistent. Took this straight from their YELP page: "About the Business At Chuy's, we don't take anything seriously, except our food!" In my opinion, they don't take their food seriously either. Chuys, to me, is over priced, under-delivered tasteless Tex-Mex cuisine. I'm almost tempted to not even use the word cuisine here. I am limited to what I love at Tex-Mex restaurants, I'll give you that. I usually stick to what I know and order the same item despite which Tex-Mex restaurant I choose to dine, however, you can't neglect quality and freshness in times like this!...You have to be on top of it, on your A-game to keep your customers coming back...unfortunately, Chuy's always fails to deliver. It's a Sunday night, my fiance and I are starving and #hangry, and I don't want to order Chipotle, but still want something Tex-Mex, and I remember there was a Chuy's nearby. Soooo...I decided to cave, and order from them through DoorDash. We both order their "custom" enchiladas, which really their choice of enchilada sauces are what make them "custom." I ordered the tomatillo, and he ordered the ranchero. Let me tell ya, it wasn't "love at first bite." My chicken was flavorless, and dry. Then they skimped out on the cheese...barely sprinkling anything on top of the enchiladas and just dousing it with their tomatillo sauce. Beans are not homemade (in house), and rice was tasteless as well...so bland. It felt like we were eating cafeteria food, honestly. The ranchero sauce was too salty, and the tomatillo sauce was too sour. Oh...and what I really wanted was some queso, but I wasn't going to pay $8 for a "SMALL" order of queso...that's just ridiculous...when has queso been given an inflation??...really, c'mon guys. This is why those food trucks still stay alive. Disappointed at most, I'll probably wait another several years, or another decade before I order/dine at Chuy's. PSA: I'm not a fan of fajitas, and I know many tex-mex restaurants in the HOU area are known their "fajitas," which boosts their popularity. Sorry, restaurants, you're going to have to find another way to capture my attention, haha. read more

Taste wasn't great and lack of sauce and flavor. Beef chimichanga! Service at the bar was slow but they were packed. read more

Chuy's - Taste wasn't great. Beef chimichanga! - Tex-Mex Near Me - Houston, Texas

Chuy's is decent and I would go back, but I wouldn't go out of my way to go back. On the plus side, there are lots of things to look at (great for kids) and the service has always been amazing. The food is lackluster but I seem to be the odd one out. My sister is obsessed with Chuy's and doesn't have a location close by where she lives in Savannah, GA so whenever she's here she makes me go once or twice. She recommends the chicka chicka boom boom mostly because she's obsessed with the sauce. read more

I've been here twice now and had the same waitress both times (what are the odds?!) I'm sad I didn't get her name, so I could give a shoutout. The 2nd time I came was during HH (yay). They have a decent happy hour, which includes both drinks and food. The inside is colorful, funky and fun, and the drinks are pretty and good. I LOVE their green sauce - I can literally just eat that while the people with me eat real food hahah. The last time I came, I ordered based off of our waitress' recommendation and it did NOT disappoint. SO yummy - love Chuy's! read more

Chuy's - Tex-Mex Near Me - Houston, Texas

The service here at this location used to be really good, so I'm not sure what happened. There were very few patrons inside this establishment, yet it took us forever to be served. Waited probably 10 mins just flour the chips and salsa. The waitress was nice and the food was good, but everything was so slow. I was served my food, but the drink I had ordered (virgin mojito) didn't come until I was already halfway through eating my meal. Very disappointed by my last visit. read more

Ah. My, by a huge margin, favorite salsa at a Mexican restaurant. Well, kinda Mexican restaurant. They embrace the Mexican theme but offer some dishes that aren't exactly Mexican in nature. But who cares. It's delicious. They have a yearly hatch chili menu. And this is the reason I come here so much during hatch season. I'm from Colorado and could get fresh roasted hatch from the store and this really adds some nostalgia for me. I haven't had a bad dish here. Some folks or shills will say this. But honestly. I haven't had a bad meal. Their kitchen consistency is on point. Now a secret that you all need to know. Their tres leches is probably the best ever. I'm a fatty at heart, and have had lots of desserts. I've actually had dinner at another restaurant and left there to have their dessert. Gah as I'm writing this I want to leave and go get some. Okay if you haven't been to a chuys before you're doing yourself a disservice and need to get here. Quickly. read more

Wow! 4 minutes after being seated and still no one bringing chips and salsa, no ons taking drink orders or acknowledging me even being there. It's not incredibly busy as there are MANY empty tables and booths. At the 5 minute mark someone flew by and said "be right with you"..... and another minute goes by.... And another.... Yeah, I'm done. So long Chuys - too many mistakes too many times; I'll stick with real Mexican food and Tex Mex places that want and value customers and serve actual cooked food, not just fast food heated. read more

Original review: We ordered delivery through the restaurant's website and they use doordash to deliver it. Usually, not a problem, except this time our order was missing our $8.50 queso. I called the restaurant and spoke with a "manager" who didn't even offer an apology and told me that I'd have to get the refund through doordash... even though the order was through the restaurant's website and their restaurant screwed up the order, I now have to call a third party to request a refund. Update: The manager (Darrell) called and apologized for any confusion and refunded us for the queso (which he was able to do because we ordered on the Chuy's website) and was very kind! We will be giving them another chance soon! read more

Chuy's not so tasty. I ordered to go. The food was cold and chips were stale. It was quite disappointing because I was really hungry. It wasn't worth the wait, I sat at the restaurant and could not figure out why my food was cold when it was brought out. Not Fresh, Not a fun dining experience. Leave it! Chipotle has better food. read more

This is a great spot for happy hour with Bethany and Alex. They have awesome chemistry and compliment each other. Got tragic news tonight, though. I heard that Bethany was leaving her bar clientele. Alex, you are great, but we need both of the dynamic duo hear at the bar or we will probably, no probably, go see Juan at el Palenka or spelling? Across 249. Management needs to make her stay at the bar for all of their loyal customers. read more

Chuy's - Tex-Mex Near Me - Houston, Texas

Great place to dine in during happy hour! I've eaten here before but only take out, and after today dining in will be all I come here for. I sat in the bar area and it was great with the windows how bright and open it was. After reviewing the happy hour menu I talked with a few people at the bar and found out there was a nacho station that was free during happy hour. I thought that was amazing because I didn't come in for much. I ordered a half order of the tex mex enchiladas and added chicken it was just enough to eat and take a little bit home. The green guacamole/ salsa, whatever that delicious sauce is, is what made me come in for happy hour. After the great service and experience from that time will keep me coming back and inviting people with me ! Great place for happy hour or just simply eating out with friends. read more

Chuyis place to go if you really hungry. Love their sauces. They took one of my favorite off the menu. Haven't ask .but pretty sure they still make it . They also have outdoor seating. Just writing the review,it's making my mouth water. I Have never found anything that I don't like. Only night not to go is Cinco de mayo. They always have specials . Everybody is celebrating the day May 5. The best is The Elvis meal. They always have a lot of workers. They always are filling your drink glass. read more

We recently found this place, and have returned almost weekly for lunch. I'm in a wheelchair so we have to sit in the bar area. The waitress/bartender is fantastic. She knows EVERYTHING about the menu, makes perfect recommendations and does it all with a huge smile! Quite rare post-Covid! Great food but even better service. read more

This is my favorite restaurant around here top notch service also a great team since the pandemic haven't been able to get my self to Geaux inside server Judy goes above and beyond also manager Kylie goes above and beyond we appreciate you're team thank you so much for keeping are food great my food is always on point gracis read more

Chuy's - Omg - Tex-Mex Near Me - Houston, Texas

I love Chuy's. They usually have great atmosphere and food! I saw this new location and while it's not close to my house, it isn't too far. If there were one near my house, I'd be eating there all the time! Great burritos and tasty sauces. I love the chimichanga. Nice happy hour with nacho bar in the back of an old 'car'. This new location seemed so small from the outside. I ate in the bar for happy hour, so I didn't really check out the dining room. The atmosphere was still fun on the inside, but the outside wasn't as cool as other locations. The bartender told me that all the new Chuys were going to be like this one. read more

After a long day of moving, we decided get some dinner. My eyes were bigger than my stomach. The tortilla soup was amazing! Are way too much jalapeño cream dip that I didn't have enough room for the chicken taco. The hubby said that his burrito could have used more green chili, but was delish. The deduction of 1 star was because the waitress didn't come back and refill the hubby's water or sweet tea. read more

This was my first time at Chuy's, I came here with my friend for her birthday celebration. Like many restaurants in Houston, the food was exceptionally delicious. We were served starter chips with salsa and Chuy's "creamy jalapeño" dip - would highly recommend. In addition to this we also ordered queso, which was great. I ordered the Chile Rellanos stuffed with oven roasted chicken and cheese, drizzled with the creamy jalapeño dip. It was served with a side of refried beans, rice, lettuce, pico, and jalapeños. Our food was delivered very quickly, even though the restaurant seemed busy for a Wednesday night. I tried the sangria and the Piña Colada. My friend and I ordered the Piña Colada at the same time; when we tried it, we agreed there was too much orange juice in it and it was pretty watered down. I was a server in a restaurant for three years so I usually try and suck it up when I dislike my order because I understand that mistakes happen. I did end up sending the drink back along with my friends, and the second Piña Colada we both received was much better! Overall, my experience at Chewy's was great and I will be coming back again! read more

Chuy's - Refried beans, stuffed chicken and cheese peppers with drizzled creamy jalapeño dip, rice, lettuce, and jalapeño. - Tex-Mex Near Me - Houston, Texas

Ok I know this place o believe has been open for a whole 2 weeks or so and close to home so I wanted to try it. I'm very picky with Mexican food being that I am a Cali girl. I was greeted by the hostesses and sat down promptly. I was served fresh salsa and chips the salsa was spicy and very good flavor. The server was Jacob a young 18 yo who obviously hasn't had much experience as a server he seemed rushed and didn't ask me a lot of questions when I ordered, etc; I ordered iced tea and he brings sweet tea, my plate came with beans I thought I had a choice between charro or refried, they served me refried, and apparently there is a salsa bar? Because I saw a patron walking with two bowls of salsa to her table. I feel since they're new and I may have not dined here before he should make the effort to tell you about "Chuy's". I tell you what it took me longer to get here than to get my order, I literally live 3 miles and 5'oclock traffic was bad, my order was on my table in 8 minutes and the plate and the food were extremely hot like I'm not used to this lol Jacob checked with me a few times after being served and at the end he offered dessert I was so full. Oh I didn't even tell you about the food?! Well I got the -#6 it comes with a taco enchilada and chalupa that's basically a tostada where I'm from. The enchilada was super good it was cheese and it had this thicker red sauce almost like a mole it was very delicious, I suspect heartburn will be visiting tonight. The crunchy taco was good too, the chalupa (tostada) didn't need refried beans on it since they serve it already with your meal, kinda redundant, but good it needed like a sour cream or some type of creamy sauce. All in all good food, server could have been better but this place has been opened for a nanosecond so I'll let it slide and I'll be back! read more

Didn't really enjoy the service nor the food so much. Had the server by the name of Jess, and when asked what sort of mixer they used for the michiladas, she stated "zig-zags". I politely asked if she meant "zing-zang"? She responded "zig-zag, zing-sang, same thing". Umm... no not really. Food was okay, nothing spectacular. I typically order the chicka-chicka-boom-boom when I visit a Chuey's. This place just didn't fit my expectations with the dish that was presented to me. My husband ordered the steak burrito, which was not your typical burrito that you get to hold and eat. Knife and fork was definitely needed. It was more like a huge ass enchilada topped with cheese and chili. He wasn't impressed. Hard to say we would come back or not. read more

I'm so impressed with management. He called me about my review and listened to my concerns and made things right. Now that's real customer service! I truly appreciate it. I still love Chuys as I've posted in a previous review and will definitely return. Their fajitas and that white sauce is everything. I'm also looking forward to trying the veggie mix he told me about. read more

Chuy's - Entrance - Tex-Mex Near Me - Houston, Texas

Excellent good with reasonable service since we visited on New Years' Eve. My seafood fajitas were outstanding!

It's really just average Tex-mex as far as Tex-next goes, anyways. I don't think I've ever had mind blowingly delicious Tex-mex before so this was just like any other experience. The staff was very friendly though and our waitress, Danielle, was a total sweetheart. I did have their ruby red margarita and THAT was divine. So if you come here, don't expect to be blown away by the food but do order yourself a drink. read more

Very dry and nasty i don't recommend this place at all, not even my dog would eat it.

Food was good, they still have to iron out a few things, we did not have utensils until after food succeed and I asked for them, also napkins, the waiter Leo was great, he promptly made everything right, the fajitas where very good, the flour tortillas excellent! Don't know if I'll return just for the tortillas, all the other food was just as good as other good Tex Mex restaurants. *Had to edit my rating down to 3 stars, as we walked out of the restaurant, the ladies at the entrance thanked customers as they walked out, we walked out about 30 seconds later, talking back and forward amongst each other, within a Couple of feet, no acknowledgement, didn't even raised their head to look at us, I don't like thinking it might have been because the other customers where White and we are Hispanic, but what other reason is there? What, they only thank every other customer? read more

My go to place for Tex Mex. The food is always delicious, margaritas are good and strong, and that creamy jalapeño!! Soooo good! I put it on everything. Lol The stacked enchiladas or panchos are my favorites and it's always enough food for two meals. Prices are great especially since you get two meals out of it and always good customer service. Love it here! read more

Chuy's - Stacked enchiladas - Tex-Mex Near Me - Houston, Texas

We've been sitting here 2 hrs waiting on our food our waitress isn't checking on us to make sure we needed anything kept asking for the same thing multiple times, we've also been waiting for the general manager who can't seem to come talk to anyone because he's busy on the line but meanwhile you have customers leaving because we aren't being tended to. This is not a good location for big parties or busy weekends I'm really upset with this location because Chuys is our family spot but we despise this location be careful coming to this location customers aren't important enough for the "GENERAL MANAGER" to come out I don't believe that shit at all!!! Worse customer experience ever and when I food came out it was cold so we couldn't even enjoy it now we have to go somewhere else and eat and it's late on top of that read more

The manager here is kinda rude and condescending. She greeted me not with a welcome, but with a "excuse me, are you lost?" Plus, the food is terrible. read more

We stopped in on Mother's Day Weekend. They were packed but allowed us to do call ahead seating. We were sat down within 3-5 minutes of showing up with a large party. Our servers name was Chris. Sorry I didn't get his last name. There wasn't a single thing that he could have done any better then he did. He was very attentive from start to finish. ""GREAT JOB CHRIS"". Thank you sir for making our Mother's Day meal out a great one. read more

Took the family to eat there this past Saturday. I don't remember the food being so spicy at other Chuys locations. Everything on my plate was too spicy, including the rice and the charro beans. We like spicy, but this food was overly spicy. Also, they bring you one tiny bowl of salsa and one small bowl of chips for a group of four. It seemed kind of stingy for such a well-known restaurant. Nowadays, most Mexican restaurant provide salsa individually for each person. While waiting for a table, I saw an elderly couple leaving the restaurant give the hostess some advice about seating people with physical disabilities. As soon as the people left, she turned around and rolled her eyes and made a face at another staff member. I felt like it was unprofessional and flat out disrespectful. Clearly this person needs a refresher in hospitality training. read more

Service is spectacular. Margaritas are my gold standard by which all other margaritas are compared. And good has been consistently delicious. If I lived there, it would be a problem for my bank account and my body. read more

I'm not a big fan of the revisions to the original Chuy's menu. The tortilla soup I've been ordering at Chuy's on Barton Springs in Austin for the last forty years was served differently. The tortilla strips, avocado slices and cheese were on the side. Tonight however, they were already added to the soup. So, the whole dish was soggy upon arrival at the table. Also, they have discontinued the red salsa with carrots and the green chile rice. Unfortunate indeed. read more

So this is my first time at this restaurant and do To be honest I've never had to wait as long just to be served. Then later I seen a couple ask about a reservation and they faked looking at their tablet just to deny the couple. This made me curious. The reservations were for 7:30pm and I am still not seated at 8:10pm we where also trying to surprise a friend so the surprised was totally ruined due to useless lack of timing. Thank you, i will not recommend anybody ever! Thank you, Emmanuel T. Ponce P.s the girl in the front acted like she seen The reservation but was caught her only typing in fake numbers to make it seem as if she was looking it up. This place doesn't actually save reservations. read more

Awful! My first time to any Chuy's Tomball Pkwy. Hostess wasn't pleasant, waitress was great, bar tender w/glasses & ponytail unprofessional and last but not least food a disgrace! The manager was understanding and compromising but still didn't make up for what was in my food. I suggest they check their lettuce before serving. Margarita was requested to be made with a sugar rim and bartender made w/ salt and sugar. Asked to be remade and it wasn't. They need some help w/customer service and drink making. read more

For some reason, I remember chuy's being better than what we had tonight but maybe because I was in college? Ha ha. I have no idea! I still love their salsa, margaritas, and martinis. I think there's other places to eat Tex mex in this area but chuys are still decent. read more

Normally I don't write reviews but I thought this time I had to say something about the service and sitting at the (empty) bar .The bartender Kathy with glasses seemed to be in a bad mood when I walked in so I tried to lighten up the mood and make a little conversation. My wife and I ordered a couple of drinks 3 minutes prior to happy hour and were charged full price. I politely asked if we could get Happy hour prices and she didn't respond she just called the manager with a bad attitude. (sorry to bother you) We didn't like the attitude after that and left after just one drink. I appreciate and look forward to good service and won't spend my money where theres negative energy especially when I try to be nice and it's not reciprocated. Sorry ! It sucks because we there not only for one drink but to have a a great dining experience. read more

Always a great place to hang out after soccer games always great service !! The food is very good, and the fajitas are the best I just don't like having to wait for ever ...45 minutes plus to be seated !! read more

Only had happy hour and was not impressed... Drink price is good but the drink which was a frozen margarita was not good... They offer a free nacho bar which includes queso, ground beef and refried beans... Which was subpar... Nothing fancy much would I may rave about when I was in college due to the free nacho bar and low price drinks... The bar area had plenty of seating and very attentive servers... read more

My first time at Chuy's but what a fun experience! The walls were covered with random paintings and other eccentric decorations, as well as casual dining area. A great place to take the family for dinner or even date night. Chips, salsa & this delicious jalapeño crema sauce was delivered to our table and was refilled often. Our waitress was training someone (she did great) so it took a little longer to order but it was fine, we weren't in a rush. Our food came out quickly & they checked back on us a few times. They sell t-shirts and had a 2/$22 sale so i picked up a couple to take back to NY with me. I love quirky stuff like that! I don't live in TX but I'll definitely come back to Chuy's the next time I'm in town! read more

My wife and I went to the Chuy's over in Humble week before last who does OK but they're still on the Covid menu, very limited. Yesterday on Father's Day there were five of us and my mother likes the taco shell taco salad so we went to theChuy's on 249 closer to her house and once again they still are on the Covid menu very limited no shell. The good part was there was no wait the restaurant only was about 50% all the others we passed head lines out the door, we won't be going back until the full menu is back. My suggestion is waiting till it's back to full menu !!! read more
