    Delicious food amazing atmosphere friendly people. Family of 8 we all had fantastic food. Steak and chicken fajitas, chicka chicka favorite, queso, guacamole all great. Highly recommend

    Fajita Chicken or Fajita Beef
    Micki P.

    Great food with quick service! I got the chicken fajita and it was delicious. Only major complaint would be it was quite messy. Dirty napkins on the floor and crumbs all over. Besides that the ambience was awesome--not too loud and great art/style to the place.

    Left- Green Chile Chicken Enchilada-- Middle- Refried Beans and Rice -- Right- Chile Relleno stuffed with melted cheese.  8/10

    We go to this location for lunch every time we go to Opry Mills and the food is always fresh and the service is usually good. Today our server was Awesome !! I usually get Beef Enchiladas with the Boom Boom Sauce, but today I got a new item on The menu and it was really good. My wife always gets the Steak Fajitas. They offer appetizers, burritos, tacos, house specialties, Enchiladas and a couple of desserts. They Have a full bar and a covered outdoor seating area. They have 9 housemade signature sauces along with housemade tortillas and some of the best complimentary fresh salsa and a creamy Jalepeno Ranch. It's worth a try if you're wanting some good Tex-Mex and a Margarita

    Chicken Flautas

    We travelled from DC to Nashville just to go. We were looking for new places to try and couldn't remember if we had been to Chuy's but after we sat down we remembered we went to the one in Springfield, Virginia. Upon arrival, (Sunday, 10/26/25 at approximately 2 or 3p) there was a girl at the host stand (I tried to look at her name tag). I THINK it was Alicia, however, Alicia didn't speak or acknowledge us AT ALL. She didn't say a word. She stood there shuffling through whatever she was doing, and then another woman walked up a few moments later, asked us how can she help us (Alicia walked off) and she took us to get our seats. When we got to our seats, they was refried beans and some other stuff splattered on the seat. Since the one who seated us had already walked off I went back to the host stand to let the girl know who sat us down and she said OK give me a minute and then she proceeded to go see someone else. A guy was at the front that I believe was the manager and he quickly came and cleaned it up. Our waiter came and he bought our chips and salsa. I immediately saw something sticking out of the salsa (not sure how he missed it), but I couldn't be too sure what it was until I got a closer look. Once I looked, I discovered it was one of those twisty tie things with that thin wire that comes on a loaf of bread to close it. I saw who I believe was the manager again, and I quickly notified him and he came and he got it. He apologized and he bought us some fresh salsa. I didn't like the way the salsa looked anyway, even without the twisty thing sticking out of it, so I didn't eat any. He then bought us some queso for the inconvenience. Although already turned off by the place because of "Alicia", the beans and the salsa mishap I decided to stick it out. The queso was actually really good. We ordered the flautas and the shrimp Baja tacos. The flautas were ok so no complaints there and the shrimp tacos had a nice flavor but the presentation sucked. We both ordered frozen margaritas that gave no kind of buzz but they were really good. I then asked for silverware (I usually ask for plastics but just said forget it). The waiter bought them and when I took them out the paper sleeve (that read "this silverware has been sanitized for your protection" might I add) that they came in, that too was a turn off. I then asked for plastics (as I should have to begin with) because the silverware wasn't too clean the waiter chuckled a little (not in a rude way but as if "sheesh they can't catch a break" kinda way) and he bought us plastics. The manager and the waiter were polite, the experience not the best.

    Always a good time and good food at Chuy's!! Today was no different. Quick service and great food!

    How do I use the Yelp app to check in the host had no idea how to, he did try though?

    Under the five stars were you rate the business is an area that says "check in". Click that and you are now checked in for that business.

    I don't understand how you get in line from yelp. There was no option, so I thought there was no wait. I get to the restaurant and there's a 20 min wait. How will this help at all?

    We figured out that Chuy's at Opry Mills doesn't participate in that part BUT you can see where you are in line. My husband figured that part out.

    How do you get inline from yelp? They used to use the Nowait app.

    Hi Todd! You will need to download the Yelp app on your phone, and if we are on a wait it will display when you open our page. You will have the option to add your name to the list that way. If we aren't on a wait, it will simply ask you to come on… 

    Is it happy hour.?

    I'm not sure what was on it as it has been months since I was there but I know they do have one.

We ordered the family style pancake, which was massive. Think as big as a pizza and there was not only one but two of them! The pancake itself was delicious, warm, fluffy and perfectly cooked. My only critique was with the syrup. It's promoted as buttermilk syrup but it tasted like strait caramel/butterscotch. Think of those little butterscotch hard candies. This was the only disappointing part, I was looking forward to a light buttermilk syrup to melt into the pancake but it was heavy and had way too much flavor. I will definitely be back to try other items on the menu! Super cool place and a great atmosphere. Also, they have their own parking lot with lots of spaces! So helpful.
