Recent visits are landing softer than earlier ones did. Reviewers who mention the staff rate this place 4.9 on average — it is working in the restaurant’s favour.
Behind those, pacing is raised in 17% of reviews (4.7 average). More reviewers landed on 5 stars than any other score — 15 of 18. The split is 16 positive to 1 negative across 18 rated reviews, with 1 in the middle.
Against that, the kitchen inspects well — an A (92/100), 1 intermediate and 5 basic violations at the most recent DBPR visit. That result dates from February 23, 2026. Its inspection trajectory is upward over the records we hold. Ranked against Orange County, it is safer than 49% of the restaurants we score.

I love the Fajitas and the queso dipping sauce.
-
The food was delicious! I loved the fresh chips and salsa. The service was great they came to check on us often! And the atmosphere was amazing. The place was very clean, including the bathrooms. Wish I had these where I live!

Always enjoy eating at a Chuy’s and this one was no different. Only issue we had was getting a table. The hostess didn’t input our information into the system properly and our slot was dropped and we had to wait an extra 20 minutes or so to be seated. And they were so busy at the time that it was hard for the waitress to maintain service at our table. This wouldn’t stop us from going back though. Great place to eat.

Jalapeño ranch is the BEST!! Tried the chicka boom sauce... thought it was just ok

Would not order from again

The food was great and our server, Leandro D, made sure that nothing was too spicy for us after I told him I can't handle anything with heat.
-
Great experience! Everything was over the top. Hostess was friendly and seated us immediately. Our waitress, Lena, was attentive and made us aware of menu options. Food was superb. Fresh, well seasoned and warm. Manager even stopped by to chat. Highly recommend for authentic Tex Mex.

Before COVID they had a better selection of food to choose from now it is more like appetizers and alcohol.

Lena was great to us, food was great!

Best burrito I've ever had!

I wanted to share a new feedback regarding the excellent service we received from our waitress Cassie during our recent visit to Chuy's. From the moment we sat down, she was welcoming, highly energetic, and incredibly attentive. She took the time to explain the different sauce options and made perfect menu recommendations. She kept our drinks refilled and made sure our table never ran out of fresh chips and dip. She truly went above and beyond to make our dining experience memorable. Please pass along our sincere thanks and recognition to her Excellent service from start to finish—we will definitely ask for her section next time.
