    Chips, Jalapeño Cilantro dip, salsa 4/5 & Strait Rita 5/5
    Jose L.

    Visited on a Sunday, it wasn't too busy. There is outside seating available but be sure to check with host/hostess. Upon walking in was greeted and asked number of party, it was only me so quickly sat in the bar area. Upon sitting, bartender came and brought menu & chips, the infamous Chuy's Jalapeño cilantro dip and salsa. Chips break easy & were bit warm, but also have some hard pieces, think I got more small broken pieces than regular chips. I ordered according to the drink menu, The Strait Skinny, basically a skinny Rita. It was refreshing and well balanced & mixed. Tequila didn't overpower the drink. My actual waiter, Keaton, came around a bit after the bartender asked my drink order. He was servicing other tables but he was quick, attentive & friendly. He checked in on me throughout my visit more than thrice, which was very much appreciated. I ordered the fajita combo, served with refried beans, Mexican rice, choice of corn or flour tortillas and side of guacamole, pico de gallo, cheese & sour cream. The fajitas arrived sizzling, both the chicken and beef were juicy and flavorful. The tortillas had an ok flavor, they'd tear easily when made into a taco even though they were a bit thick. The place overall is fun and lively, depending the day and time could be busier than my visit. The were playing good music the whole time I was there. Also, It can get a bit cold, which I'd rather be cold than hot in Texas suggest bringing a sweater in case you get cold easy.

    Coming back into Houston from IAH and the bf was hungry so we decided to stop at Chuy's since it's been awhile either of us had been to Chuy's. The restaurant had a 20 min wait, so we opted for bar seating instead. The service was a bit on the slow side but that's ok - it was expected at a chain restaurant like this. We ordered the tortilla soup, the panchos with beef/chicken, the steak burrito and a margarita on the rocks! *Panchos with Beef/Chicken Combo - Wow, I have never had a nacho this bad. Like seriously, how do you screw up on nachos right? Well, this one came on a huge chip (like half a crispy taco shell) per "chip".. it was covered in cold cheese, with guac and jalapenos BUT the chicken/beef was flavorless, cold and dry! Ack! It was so gross we barely ate more than 1-2 "chips" and threw away the rest. 1/5 *Steak Burrito - I didn't taste any of this but the bf said it wasn't good. I'm assuming the meat was the same as the one on top of the panchos. The green sauce was super spicy and didn't add to the flavors at all. He seemed disappointed but I won't rate this dish cause I didn't try it myself and can't vouch for it. *Tortilla Soup - I remember really liking the chicken tortilla soup at Chuy's. This one was ok - the broth was fine, though it was lukewarm and I wanted some hot soup after a long flight. The chicken pieces were on the dry side and it was hard to eat. I thought it was ok - nothing to write home about though. 3/5 Overall, this was the worse Chuy's experience I've ever had. I don't remember Chuy's being so bad - but maybe it's just this location? The chips were greasy, where you can see the oil it was drenched in. The meats were dry and bland and tough. Even the margarita wasn't good. We wouldn't come back here - the normal taco bar with the spices/pico/salsa was empty. The restaurant wasn't as clean as it could be - especially the bench seating. I think the Kirby location is better inside Houston - I'm sure hoping it's not Chuy's going downhill cause I remember thinking it wasn't bad and actually liking it. I really wanted a tres leches cause I remember liking that as well, but in the end I decided not to order it here cause of how disappointed I was with everything else.

    Chuy's has become a quick favorite! I love the laidback vibes and pictures of all the cute pups decorating the space. We were greeted and seated quickly. Once we sat down the greatest thing happened and they brought out chips, salsa and the best creamy jalapeño dip I've ever had at a Mexican restaurant. We went through several servings and I even got some to go! On to the food and drinks... everything was delicious. The Paloma and Mexican martini were a hit. I tried all of the food in the photos and my favorite were the shrimp tacos and chicken enchiladas. Our server was very attentive and the manager checked in with us and took plates out of our way after our meal. We will definitely be returning!

    just got this "ice water"

    Took an hour to get our food. Chicken was discolored. My sons fries were cold. My beef quesadillas were very salty. Our drinks had no ice. Bathrooms were disgusting.

    There is something about Chuy''s that's a little different than most Tex-Mex restaurants. Yes, you can get the staples of enchiladas and fajitas with beans and rice. But you're not going to get the multitude of sauces and food combinations in portions that are slightly larger than most of the other places. Combine the food with an impressive choice of margaritas and other cocktails all enjoyed in a unique and festive atmosphere results in a fun and satisfying dining experience.

    It was ok but wouldn't go again. Their "salsa" is like pico. wasn't a fan at all. The food was mediocre at best. The service was great!!!

    The parking lot is well lit & large. The bar is nice size with a good bandstand. There is also a…read moregame room off the bar that has shuffleboard & pool. The bar is clean, along with the restrooms, which have surfboards as handles, which is cute & unique. They also have bar food, which is good. We went to see Al Bettis & his band and they were great! The sound in this bar is very good, no echo just pure sound! They are a tight band! Now let's get to the service... a big HUG shout-out to LOREN!! She became our favorite server as the drinks kept coming, as they should! She is cute, friendly & a good sense of play!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!

    I happened to be in Kingwood for my friend's engagement party and decided to stop by Cowboy Surfer…read morefor a night cap. I've been to the original location in Spring Branch, but this was my first time visiting this location. The bar is located in a shopping strip off of 59. Parking is plentiful. Unlike the original location, you do not have to scan your ID (if you've been to the Spring Branch location, then you know what I'm talking about). It was pretty early on a Saturday evening, so it wasn't terribly busy. I sat at the bar. I don't know the bartender's name that served me, but she was nice. I ordered the Kingwood which is a gin based cocktail with cucumber. The drink was fine, but it was a little tart for my preference. A splash of simple syrup would have balanced it out. I did request for it to be less spicy (it has jalapeño in it). They have live music, though when I was there, they didn't have a band playing. They serve typical bar food like burgers, salads, and nachos. The vibe wasn't quite the same as the location in Spring Branch, but it was fine. This is a nice option for craft cocktails in Kingwood.
