Chuy's is amazing! Everything is so fresh and delicious. Don't fear that's it's a chain as they source local ingredients with the freshness that you would get at any local restaurant around town. I personally love the fun colorful vibe, a love of Elvis and their awesome patio! My go to dishes here are their fajitas and the fajita chicken burrito or ground beef burritos covered in queso. They make their tortillas in house and you can definitely tell. So good! And if you are there when they happen to have the blackberry margarita, just get it! You won't regret it!

Wow! The meal was great! The service was impressive. I explained this was my fist time visiting. The server brought out all their samples of sauce for me to try! The manager stopped by and greated me and the. brought me a "free " Tres Leches. Wow! Highly recommended!

Unfortunately this place is lacking in service and food quantity. We walked in and was sat right down, but we asked to move to a booth because the tables and chairs are tiny and low to the ground. The host said this was all he had, but thankfully one of the servers asked me if I wanted a booth after overhearing our question and walked us over to a booth. Young female of color, was the only upbeat person in this restaurant, I wish I would've had her as a server! Our lady server came over and immediately was off putting, we order drinks and you can tell she just didn't want to be there, which is fine we all have bad days. We order the food and it came out with 10 mins, and I could tell them these plates had been served early and reheated, plates were extremely hot and the food just looked old. The taco was ok and you can really mess up enchiladas, so they were ok, my friend order a chuychanga, after expressing his love for them as a kid as they would go to Chuy's as kids in Texas. But this one just didn't surpass the expectations! Was hard on one side which is a sign of microwaving! And was just bland and blah! Sad this franchise has taken a hit, major rebranding has taken this hometown place and made it just another place on the street! Only tasty item was the margarita but again you can't really mess that up!

This MEXICAN food is as close as I can find to real and authentic Texas BBQ. Sometimes their service is slower when they are busy; but their salsa is to die for!!! And their tortilla chips. I've never had an allergic reaction here, as I have SOOO many food allergies; so this is one of those restaurants that I just keep coming back to every time. When I went, they were still having inside dining; but with the new restrictions, that isn't accessible. While taking it home rather than sitting in the restaurant isn't ideal, it doesn't mean that I won't eat here.

If you are going here and looking to compare it to authentic Mexican food, you'll hate it.

It was chilly outside so it was a nice surprise when the young lady asked if we wanted to sit by the fireplace. Yes, please!! It was so comfy and warm right there. Our waitress came right over and was so sweet and attentive. I ordered their morning glory burger with the salsa on the side and a salad, and the hubby ordered a cheeseburger with fries. The wait was short and the food was excellent! They forgot to put the salsa on the side for my burger, but it was very good anyway. I'm really starting to enjoy burgers with eggs on them. The salad was enormous! I thought they made a mistake and brought me a $10.00 salad, but no. It was so huge I couldn't finish it, which was a shame because it was so delicious. My hubby said that his was the best burger he's had in a very long time. We were able to leave quickly after finishing our meal since the waitresses carry portable card readers with them and they check you out right at the table which is so very convenient. When we're back next year for Scarefest we will keep Drake's on our radar!

Southern Cookhouse & Bar - Nashville Hot chicken

While out shopping, the movies, and enjoying a great day in Lexington, the Fat Man and his wife…read moredecided to get a late lunch. We swung into Southern Cookhouse & Bar. Southern Cookhouse features scratch-made dishes using local ingredients, a variety of burgers, pizzas, and classic Southern entrees. I started with the Chicken & Sausage Gumbo because I love soup and all soup-adjacent things. The gumbo had a good, rich flavor from the roux, with subtle heat and a sweet finish. The chicken had a nice flavor, a little saltiness, and it was tender. The Andouille sausage was cooked well and rounded out the flavor profile. The tomatoes and scallions added brightness and crunch. The rice had a few hard pieces, but overall it was good. I do want to mention that I did find a few chicken bones in the dish, just so people are aware. My wife tried the Dunwoody Cobb, made with Grilled chicken breast, boiled eggs, bacon, avocado, tomato, and blue cheese crumbles, with spring mix tossed in Dijon vinaigrette. The lettuce was crunchy and fresh. The bacon had a great salt level, crunch, and crispiness. The avocado added a creamy richness to each bite, while the tomato's acidity cut through the Dijon mustard's sweet and bitter notes. The star of the show was the salty, nutty, creamy blue cheese crumbles, which meshed well with all the other components. The chicken was cooked well and had good flavor, but it was dry. While I avoided it, my wife said the boiled egg was well-cooked and added it to the salad. I had the Nashville Hot chicken, which comes with spicy pickles, coleslaw & mayo on slider rolls with potato salad. The potato salad was mustard-and-mayo-based. The potatoes were soft but still offered some texture. The mustard and mayo balanced each other and added flavor. There were eggs in the potato salad, but they blended into the background and did not stand out. The sweet pickle relish added crunch and texture without being overly sweet. I'm not sure if it was made in-house or from a container; it was good nonetheless. The slider was fresh, soft, and nicely toasted. The slaw was medium-chopped, with a great mayo ratio and a good sweetness, tasting fresh, crunchy, and creamy without being so rich as to drown out the vegetables or the chicken. The pickle was not spicy, but a thick-cut bread-and-butter type with a little sweetness and a velvety, buttery flavor. The chicken was juicy, tender, and cooked well. The Nashville-style spices were mild to medium, just enough to know it was there but not so overpowering that it was all you tasted. It was not overly oily either, which often plagues sandwiches of this type. The entire sandwich worked well together. Southern Cookhouse has a full menu, but some items do rotate or are seasonal. The bar is fully stocked, offering draft beer, tea, and soft drinks. They offer counter ordering, and the staff is very friendly. The Fat Man says that Southern Cookhouse & Bar is Fat Man Approved with 2 chins.

I guarantee that you won't find a similar dish on anyone's menu. I love the gravy over the top of a chicken pot pie chimichanga. It is brilliant!! Anyway, they have great burgers and it's a great neighborhood bar. You should check it out. It is owned and operated by a family that lives in the neighborhood.
