Tiffany was an outstanding server. She made excellent menu recommendations, and she brought refills without even being asked. This was our first visit and were very pleased. The food was delicious. The chips and salsa with their homemade ranch was good. The restaurant was very clean. It is easy to find using Google Maps.

..meh, it wasn’t what I really had hoped for. Not bad just, not my style of flavors I assume.. Others at my table liked it alright… The silverware packets … Are paper, which is fine, but they have in various languages, religious prayer. I don’t particularly care for it though it was very odd.
Our waitress was nice & did her best … the atmosphere was busy, loud, displayed beautiful classic photos everywhere. I enjoyed.

Staff was AMAZING!!! We had Cielo (Cici) and she was so friendly and so attentive, as was the manager on duty. Food was fantastic and two in our party split a meal and they pre-split it in the back and brought it out on separate plates. 100/10 for that customer service and to-go drinks.

Chuys is a Mexican Restaurant, right? odd, we did not see a single Mexican in the restaurant, customers or employees…
Anyways, I had the beef fajitas, and the veggies were great, however, the steak was not very exciting at all. The corn tortillas was a bit too hard, however, the beans and rice was fine.
The wife enjoyed her meal, and brought about half of it home.
Our friends thought it was ok, but was disappointed with the fairly poor service. However, I loved the chips & salsa. it was awesome, and I loved the thin, lightly salted chips.
I find it to be a bit on the expensive side, and there is better alternatives.

We went for lunch and we got queso which was delicious! That creamy jalapeño sauce is incredible . Hubby & I got taco salads and they were so fresh/huge! We had excellent service as well. We will be back, for sure!

I met my boyfriend here for supper about two weeks after they opened. I had just gotten off work and he was already there waiting to be seated and knew what I wanted to order. He got a table within 15 min and was given chips, salsa, and a few others to try while he waited on me. I met up with him and tried some of the dips/salsas. He had already ordered for both of us. As a vegetarian, I was a bit disappointed when looking at the menu online prior to going. Again, another bean and cheese burrito with the deluxe tomatilla sauce and a side of rice. The sauce was really good and added a little variety to a dish common to most vegetarians. I really enjoyed it because of the sauce, but was disappointed at the vegetarian options that gave me another bean and cheese burrito. It was busy and quite noisy as it had just opened. A little overstimulating. I don’t tend to actually sit down at restaurants to eat because of that and it’s harder to hear each other when talking. I just got a bit too hopeful in having a new vegetarian option that wasn’t the same common dish. Otherwise, I enjoyed it and can’t say it’s much different than elsewhere.

Love the Atmosphere, booths and the decorations, but we were a little disappointed in the food. We ordered the chicken fajitas for 2. The chicken definitely had seasoning, but the vegetables and especially the guacamole needed more seasoning, it all tasted very bland. The tortillas were made to thick also. I am hoping they work on applying more seasoning to make the food taste like authentic Mexican.

I first discovered Chuy’s a couple of years ago in Kennesaw, Georgia on New Year’s Eve. Stopped at a nearby On the Border first and got no service. I had never heard of Chuy’s but I saw the building in the distance and followed the glow from the sign. I thought it was a Chevy’s at first but it was Chuy’s (what’s a Chuy’s). That night, our food was incredibly delicious. I have been really excited about Chuy’s coming to Evansville.
My mom is in the hospital nearby (almost two hours from home) and I stopped by Saturday night after visiting hours were over (just after 8 PM). It was pretty busy, had to wait 15 minutes. Not a problem.
I am an annoying vegan, I know, I know. The server was really nice about it when ordering. I went with the veggie enchiladas because they were only $12. I would have liked to have ordered fajitas but they were $20 (twice the price as my favorite Mexican spot). That’s Chili’s level pricing, way too expensive! Anyway, I just asked for no cheese. According to the internet everything else in the dish was vegan.
My kids eat whatever they want. One had a chimichanga and he loved it. I can’t remember what the other ordered but he said it was basic. He had went for something cheaper too.
Also, the chips and salsa is worth talking about. I was surprised more reviews didn’t mention this! The chips are excellent. They are thin, remind me of Chevy’s or On the Border’s Cantina Thins. But the salsa is really, really hot! It’s probably a “medium” salsa but I was surprised by the kick it had. The kids switched to this jalapeño ranch they offered. They liked that stuff, even poured it all over their food.
My meal was pretty spicy too. The ranchero sauce is what put mine over the edge. It was spicier than I expected. I got the chili lime rice and should have got the regular Mexican rice instead. I really enjoyed the beans. The enchilada was good but I had to scrape all the sauce off.
My sweet tea was not good. I drank one and it was pretty bad. Our drinks sat empty for a long while. We needed refills because of that spicy salsa. She eventually brought another round and my tea tasted unsweetened and gross. I asked for another one and she made sure it was sweet. It wasn’t good either. I ended up putting sugar packets in it and didn’t drink much
It was a pretty average experience. I wanted to love it as my previous experience with Chuy’s in Georgia was outstanding. But the Evansville visit fell well short in every way. It’s not a bad restaurant but not a great one either. Prices are pretty high, service was okay, food was spicy, sweet tea was meh. Bill for all three meals was $50 which is more than my favorite Mexican restaurant but probably cheaper than Chili’s.
