We grabbed dinner at Chuy's last night. While I don't particularly enjoy chain restaurants, this is one I can get behind. The food was tasty, quick service, and the prices were more than reasonable. The chips, salsa, and ranch are on point. The chips are super thin, which I enjoy, makes me feel better about eating a ton of them. Thin and salty. We got the shrimp tacos and the comida grande. The shrimp was crispy. The comida grande was a ton of food and good for leftovers. Rice and beans were good. The restaurant was clean and kitschy. Lots of convenient parking. Good place for a large group. read more

Larry was awesome. Next bartender horrible. Bill was $45.01. Paid $80. Cash, wanted to tip Larry. Asked new dude about my change he said I gave $60. I went to machine on my way here, took out $200. I have $120, I am not an idiot. read more

Inviting and colorful atmosphere from the moment you walk inside. Lots of seating with options is tables, booths, or bar area. Unlimited refills on chips & salsa. Our server was efficient and friendly. I had the creamy green chile chicken enchiladas and they had a little kick of spice to them that I cooled down with the avocado ranch sauce. Delicious and perfectly paired with a blackberry margarita! read more

Chuy's - Guacamole - Tex-Mex Near Me - Madeira, Ohio

I never write reviews. And I used to like Chuy's. But this was literally the worst meal I've had in a long time. Firstly, the salsa was extremely watery and unappetizing, and the queso was almost as bad. It tasted like fake cheese. I ordered the chimichanga that was most suggested online. It was extremely filling but was disgusting. I also ordered the much-hyped "boom-boom" sauce (which costs $2 extra). NOT WORTH IT! I can't believe how bad my experience was. I'm not a hard critic either! read more

Met a friend here for dinner over the weekend. We each ordered a drink, my margarita was good. The chips are crisp and light, I really like them. The salsa has a bit of kick to it. The other sauce for chips is good, though in not entirely sure what it was. I had the shrimp tacos for my entree, they were good, but I'm use to most places offering tacos in sets of three, and these are an order of 2, so it wasn't the most filling meal I've ever had. The rice in the side was ok, and I got my order with no beans, because I'm not a fan of refried beans - honestly, it's a texture thing. The atmosphere is fun, the place has a good energy to it. Service was good, and you do have the option to take your beverage home in a sealed container if you don't finish it - my friend was bested by her frozen drink. read more

the jalapeño creamy dip has a grip on me. I could drink that stuff. Went during early dinner on a wednesday and had very quick service. everything came out super fast. Our server did an amazing job keeping the chips and salsa filled as well! The portions are big and well worth it. Love this place! read more

I have been to this and other locations before but tonight was amazing! Yona was the best server! Kind, attentive and courteous! The food was really good and wasn't just the basic fare but not gourmet either. Flavorful and great presentation. The decor is fun, comfortable and a bit goofy. Love this place. read more

Enjoyed a nice supper here - had the Chuychanga. It's a big portion, served with rice and beans. The three fellows I sat with all enjoyed their meals as well...burritos, fajitas...the food was hot and delicious. Our server was very nice, and kept our cups filled and beers on the table. A good pick for Mexican! read more

Chuy's is great for what Chuy's is. Good ol tasty tex mex. I stopped in for happy hour and was a little disappointed that this location does not celebrate the end of day quite how my old Nashville location did--with a nacho bar. It was also a paired down menu that did not include my fav variety appetizer that had a little bit of everything. Alas, i chose a meal. Got a delicious HH margarita and had a very friendly and attentive server/bartender in the bar area. It was a good night, i just have adjust to the changes. read more

Service is always great and food comes out fast. My favorite is the Chicka Boom Boom enchilada. Moist pieces of chicken wrapped in white cheese and stuffed into a tortilla. Spicy, creamy sauce covering the enchilada. Served with rice and beans. Rice is ok, but the pinto beans are fantastic! read more

Did the Elvis. It was good. Service was efficient. Spouse loves the spicy ranch sauce.

Had dinner at chuys this Friday. Great experience with our waitress and great food! The only thing was that the bartender seemed to not want to be there at all. We went up to the bar for more drinks after our meal and he did not great us so we ending up leaving. Saw him speak a little aggressively to other staff members and he did not seem happy to speak to us. Our service was great before that! read more

The service was really good I had the chicken tenders and Mac and cheese they were delicious but the chicken is really oily from the grease but that's the only thing that was wrong the server was just great and friendly I will definitely come back here read more

This ended up being a great lunch spot! I ordered steak tacos and it was a huge portion size. The rice and everything that came with it was good. It kind of seemed more like fajitas tacos than what I was expecting, but the flavor was good. My only complaint is the pieces of steak were really big and a little chewy, so it was hard to eat. I ended up using a knife and fork for most of it, so my recommendation would be to make sure any and all steak tacos come in bite sized pieces. read more

Great place to stop whether you're looking for a full meal (try the vegetarian plate), happy hour (get the blackberry margarita, and of course can't miss out on the Nacho Car Bar!), or just some apps to share with your friends. And don't forget dessert! The tres leches cake is perfect, and they have the best, fluffiest sopapillas in town There's beef, chicken, and vegetarian entree options. The staff is great and service is speedy. Can be a long wait depending on day of the week, and parking gets out of control in the evenings since there's a lot of shops sharing one small lot. Would return! read more

I'm giving this location of Chuy's a five star review based on a specific visit to the bar on 11/18/21. Like every restaurant it seems, they were short on help this night and one woman was working the bar and all the tables in the bar area. We sat at the bar and watched her hustle the whole time we were there. She made drinks, took food orders, cleared dishes, refilled tortillas and did it all with a very pleasant attitude, even coaching some other employees with some hints and tricks. The food here is always good. The chips are perfect- warm and salty and that jalapeño ranch dip is addictive! I had a chicken quesadilla that was tasty and plenty of food. The chimichanga also looked great and there was enough for leftovers. What really made this visit was the hustle and great attitude of the service. Thanks! read more

Have eaten here plenty of times over the years and don't honestly review chains but figured this was worth reviewing. Went here with 6 other people, pretty much a normal visit until we noticed the stench of rancid piss coming from the men's room filling the dining room every time someone opened the bathroom door. Apparently they have some kind of backflow issue or something with the urinals which has not been addressed. I brought this up to the manager when he walked by because the smell was horrendous. He acted as if he knew nothing about it and kept on moving. Some time later the entrees came. To be honest my food was great as it always is. My sister in laws had a whole toothpick in it. This was addressed and the manager and server were extremely apologetic. All in all, I really hope they address the issues there because I have always loved Chuys and hope it doesn't go under. read more

Average tex mex. Prices have gone up and quantity seems to have gone down. My favorite thing is their light and airy chips with their special ranch/jalapeño dip, sooo good. Ordered curbside and my huge order was mostly correct, they just have two orders of steak vs beef tacos. I will always go for their chips and a margarita. read more

This was my 1st time at Chuy's. I realize that is a national chain and that doesn't really effect my opinion on the food, so here I go. Even though they had a limited menu, they still had a decent amount of options. I ordered the steak fajitas...shocker. They were good but lacked a little in the seasoning. The onions and peppers were nicely cooked...and sizzeling...but they didn't seem to be seasoned. The steak was really good though. The portions are generous and the food is decent, but it had that national chain "feel" to it. As part of our pre-meal noshing, we had the taco meat queso. That was quite yummy, so I do recommend that. The chips are a little thin, so be prepared to wear some of it...as I often do. Not that I am a big dessert eater, but as part of their "limited" menu, they had none. Their staff was friendly and the service was good, so, it was pretty...ok. read more

If your looking for a place with the nostalgia of Don Pablo's and chi-chis this place is definitely the place to go I've ordered from here via DoorDash and have never had any problems delivery is fast food is always the right temperature and nothing ever missing , I personally enjoy their chuychunga with queso sauce it's awesome the different sauces and variety you can choose from I personally prefer the queso , I ordered the queso which comes with chips and their salsa they give you a huge bag which is pretty awesome most places don't give that much they give you a hefty amount The tres leches is a pretty big slice more cake than leche but still worth it as big as it is If your looking for a Texmex fix Chuys is definitely the place to go! read more

The last three or four visits to Chuy's indicate that this location is slipping a bit, at least when it comes to the food. Carnitas and chicken have been nearly flavorless or overly dry, or both. Beans and rice have also been lacking in the flavor department, and the beans have been a bit dried out. These last few plates simply do not justify a four-star rating. And the prices have ticked up a bit, too. read more

I took my daughter here for the first time and it was delicious. Some of the reviews sucked so we were skeptical but the food was awesome! Ariel was a friendly and attentive server and took great care of us. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend the Chuychanga. The roast chicken smothered in cheese inside was delicious and the deluxe tomatillo sauce topped it off perfectly as well. The beans and rice on the side were even super tasty. Would definitely come back! read more

Take out here is horrible. Whether you pick it up or use a delivery service, something is always messed up. Unfortunately, I love the food so much that I keep subjecting myself to the poor service. 1. One time waited 30+ mins on a curbside order. Called a few times from the car and they said it would be right up. Finally went inside and they accidentally gave the order to someone else. Had to remake entire order. 2. Another time I used DoorDash and ordered several dips. No chips in the bag. I called and asked the employee, "Do chips usually come complimentary with the order AND especially when you order several dips?" He said "yes". I asked "does someone not check the orders before going out?" He said "No". 3. Wife always ordered a cheese enchilada and a chicken enchilada. Pretty simple. Nope. More times than not, it shows up as 2 cheese or 2 chicken. Just order from somewhere else read more

Amazing food! This was my first time eating here, and it was beyond my expectations. The service was fast and friendly. The wait was minimal. I had the chicken, soft tacos and they were delicious. Refried beans were really good and smooth, the chicken was grilled perfectly. This is become my new go to Mexican restaurant when I am in town. read more

The restroom smells horrible. When brought to the hostess attention she replied, "Yes it does." The restaurant is very worn and does not show well. Now I'm second guessing that I order and if the kitchen is clean. read more

The menu used to have more choices. The waitress was nice. The chips were hot and fresh served with two dips, kinda a ranch dip and fresh salsa dip. I am not a fan of ranch anything but a lot of people are. The enchiladas plate was more than enough, 2 enchiladas with beans and rice, enough to take home. The guacamole was good but had lettuce underneath so you think you are getting a lot of guacamole. Ok place, nothing special. read more

Still dreaming of the white sauce!! Chuy's, I am not a lover of Mexican food but you won me over. Your Tex mex vibe, caring waitress and killer food left me feeling happy and full! We had a group of 6 on a Thursday night. The hostess and waitress were very patient with us as we all arrived separately. Only one in the group had been to Chuys before so we were mostly newbies. Our lovely waitress did an amazing job explaining all the sauces and even offered to bring out samples for us to try when we just couldn't make a decision. Most of the table ordered Chuy-changas (chimichanga). For $10 it comes with a large portion of rice, beans, sauce, sour cream and chips with salsa. The salsa is a tad spicy but the chips are deliciously thin. The beans were out of this world. I tried the soup beans and loved them. The chimichanga was perfect. Everyone was pleased, some of the other guests thought the chicken was dry but the sauce made up for it. They provided crayons and paper for my little one, definitely kid friendly with a few kid menu options. Chuys gets a stamp of approval from our family. read more

Food was mid at very best. Disgusting torilla on my burrito and my girlfriend agreed on her chuychanga. Pathetic service from a "trainer" who was never around. Waited for 15 mins just for another server to drag her out to service us. Took a very long time for all food and drinks. Was there over an hour and didn't even receive a refill. We were expecting a fun and friendly place but recieved nothing but disappointment. I will never ever return. It seemed like a fun ambience if you have enough money to get blackout drunk and forget about service. read more

I have been coming to this place since they opened and I'm surprised I haven't reviewed it yet. I love this place! The chips are probably the best chips I've had in a restaurant. They are warm and thin and crispy. The salsa has a kick to it, but it is so good! When they just opened, they had green rice and they also had beans but they've since reduced their menus like many other restaurants. Now they only have Spanish rice and refried beans. The refried beans are vegetarian friendly. This last visit, was a pick up that I called in. Typically, when I eat in the restaurant, there is a wait. It is decorated with pictures and posters and it is extremely colorful and inviting. The food was ready when promised. I ordered veggie enchiladas and guacamole. I also received jalapeño ranch on the side. I made the mistake of bringing it to work and my hungry colleagues pretty much at most of the chips and salsa. I kept the guacamole for myself. Sadly, I have the rest away because the enchiladas were so filling. I wish I could get to Kenwood more often as this is my restaurant of choice for the area. Keep up the good work! Sorry, no pics. I drove in and dove in one I walked into work. read more

I had heard Chuy's advertised and was looking forward to trying it, but the husband tends to be resistant to Mexican restaurants, so it took some convincing to finally get him to agree to go. We had a little bit of a wait, but we had had to park clear across the parking lot, so at this point, we were determined to just stick around. Parking is not great here around dinnertime. They have a designated lot, but it is limited, and most of the nearby areas have signs indicating you can't park there. There were a fair amount of vegetarian options that were clearly noted. I ended up with the quesasillas - spicier than average - and the husband had the Vegetarian Combo. I thought the food was very flavorful and tasty but everything was definitely on the spicy side. Our server didn't explain about the free queso or anything, but I had thought I'd heard mention of this in an ad and I saw people going up behind us and coming back with bowls. So, we checked it out, and the free queso definitely made this visit a win for me. Gotta love free cheese! ;-) Would have been helpful if he'd shared that information upfront though. Good margaritas, too! Complimentary queso bar: Monday - Friday, 4 - 7 PM! read more

Wow the margaritas, chips & guac, salsa, queso & jalapeno ranch sauce are amazing. I attended the Chuy's Cincinnati preview event on July 10th, there was a huge crowd in a tent to the side of the restaurant as final renovations are in progress and this place will be hopping when they officially open to the public on August 20th. All of their food is made from scratch daily, tortillas, chips, salsa, guacamole. I went back for three servings of guacamole at this event, it was that good! Chuy's is a chain out out Austin, Texas and very involved with the community. They already have events scheduled with Circle Tail and a few more non-profits prior to the grand opening. This will be my go to Mexican restaurant in the Kenwood/Madeira area. read more

The food was good and came out quick. But the service was awful. The waiter handed me a hot plate without telling me it was hot and it burned my fingers. It seemed the waiter intentionally handed the hot plate. Rude comments made by the waiter as soon as we sat down. We asked for napkins and the waiter never brought them. Also they gave us no refills on our drinks. The food and the ambiance was good. But with the service we are very dissatisfied. read more

What an enjoyable visit. The waitstaff was kind and courteous. They took us directly to our table and our server came right over. It felt safe and clean. I ordered the bean and cheese burrito with boom boom sauce-a spicy queso that is flavorful and definitely has a kick. The lime margarita was also delicious. Their tortilla chips are thin, but still quite good and the pico salsa that comes with them tastes fresh. I will be back! read more
