Stopped by to grab lunch. I got the chipotle chicken enchiladas w beans and rice. Also, a plate of Carne fries. The view from the pier out back was awesome. The food was good and the service was fast. It can get packed, so you may want to go early. The view from the patio is fantastic as well. Great for watching the sunsets!

This Chevys should be the best ever. With it’s space and views, it is very disappointing to not be satisfied. The salsa has changed for the worse. It is now very soupy. The daiquiris we ordered were both bitter and not sweet. We did enjoyed the sampler platter. Our server was nice and helpful.

My recent visit to Chevys was, as usual, a wild ride. This restaurant chain holds a special place in my heart, as it does for so many others. The ambiance was fun and festive, and the service was excellent. Our waiter was very attentive and brought multiple refills of chips and salsa. The food was average (C for Chevy’s) and, of course, very filling. The main downside was the parking lot – it was a complete mess, with tiny spaces that were difficult to get in and out of. Finally, it was disappointing that the table across from us received a huge birthday celebration from the waitstaff, but our birthday girl was overlooked and had a much more muted celebration from the team. Will we be back? You bet ya and can’t wait!
UPDATE 09/2023 (1 year later):
As promised, we found ourselves back at Chevys, this time one year later. The roller coaster of fun seemingly never stopped and we hopped right back on. It has been said, “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.” And so I abashedly admit we attempted to park in the main lot only to be once again chewed up and spat out by the vortex of chaos that dwells outside the Fresh Mex front steps. Tip: Go directly to the back left parking lot and save yourself. In regards to food, no change. Server was A+ quality and overburdened by apparent staffing shortages, so service was quite slow. All the more time to enjoy the bay views and festive atmosphere! Chevys must have heard we were coming because this time our birthday girl got QUITE the celebration and they even brought back the free Chevys hat! Finally, we appreciated Chevys playing college women’s soccer on the TVs – hat tipped to Chevy. See you next year!

If I could give zero stars, I would. This place was terrible, the only thing they have going for them is their location. I don’t like leaving negative reviews but there is absolutely nothing positive to say about our experience. The food was salty and served to our table cold, no one came back to check on us so there was no one to tell. The quesabirria was soggy and falling apart. My carnitas tacos were cold, soggy and so salty I couldn’t eat them. Ordered queso for an appetizer and was served melted processed cheese with some tomatoes thrown in. No one at our table finished their food and the server could have cared less, didn’t even ask how the food was or come by long enough that we could tell them. Save your money, plenty of other better choices out there. We can’t figure out how they stay in business.

My sisters and I went to the Emeryville location on 7/16/23 @ 11 am. My older sister is allergic to avocado. The waiter put on his ticket no avocado. The cook still put avocado on her omelette. She was throwing up after one fork full. Manny the manager came over laughed and asked my sister if she wanted an alcoholic drink. He was making fun of her allergies. Now if she had to be hospitalized or died, would he continue to find her reaction to avocado funny?
More things noticed about the place:
1. We had to get the manager just so we could get water at the table.
2. The floors were so slippery even the waiters had a problem walking. Manny the manager said he would get someone to clean it, as he was slipping. He never had the floor cleaned.
3. The women’s bathroom is terrible. There are missing locks on the stall doors. No soap or tissue. My sister and I had to take turns using the one useful stall.
4. When we walked outside there was dog throw-up sitting in front of the door.
My younger sister plans to return, but I cannot in good faith. Joel the manager was helpful, but Manny needs more training in empathy, because if my sister was sent to the hospital would laughing help a lawsuit?
Lastly, some people do not like to mention their allergies due to all the new diets and such, and should not have to. If we ask for something to be left off the plate then just don’t add it to the plate.
It’s unfortunate that location is a nice area, but management and corporate is letting it turn into a horrible establishment.

Beautiful busy restaurant, we waited 15 minutes to be seated on a Saturday evening not bad, after ordering the food came out on about 15 minutes and the portions were huge, the food was a bit salty and the fajitas were overcooked. Gorgeous views of the bay with a spectacular sunset.

Stopped by for happy hour drinks and appetizers before heading to a concert at the Oakland Collisium and loved the bartender Cristina!!! She was movin and groovin and was so friendly and personable. I think just because it was her it made our experience THAT much better!! The food was delicious and well definitely be going back the next time we’re out that way!!

Went there my first time on Saturday. Took my oldest son back today. Our waiter is the kindest and most attentive I have seen out and about. I will return whenever I am in the area.
