    What A Beautiful Way To End My Work Day. Peaceful, Serene & Awesome Customer Service !!! Chevy's On The River Is Truly My Hangout. I've Been Coming Here For Over 15 yrs, I Have So Many Memories With Family & Friends Shared Here. Thanks Manny, Alex & The Crew!!! You All Are The Bomb !!! Dia'Mond

    The outside area

    First of all, wow. The location could not be better. It's very unique in that it almost has a Louisiana bayou/ Xochimilco vibe going on. The river views are absolutely fantastic and could not be in a better place. The only downside is that the parking lot is small and cramped but you should be able to find a spot. Angelita gave amazing service. Her friendliness was so memorable I made sure to get her name. Our food came out rather quickly for a party of our size. The flavor of Chevy's is as close to authentic as you can get. It's a chain so the difference in flavors is going to be minimal. Overall, expect to walk out of here for about $25 a person and you should be good. The views are some of the best I have seen in Sac. Bottom line/TLDR: Angelita was a life saver

    Just say no. Seriously! For those that read my reviews, you know I'm not a fan of most chain restaurants, we decided to give Chevys a chance. I haven't been to this restaurant or location in years, so this is definitely the perfect opportunity I called ahead to see if they were busy, and to ensure that we would be able to be seated inside because it's still pretty cold in Sacramento. We were greeted by a confused host, who seated us at a dirty table. Before we actually sat down, we asked if we could have the table cleaned or be seated elsewhere. He ended up moving us to another table that was clean, but questionable. I'd asked about happy hour because it looks like this is one of the few places that has an extended happy hour menu which is always exciting for me We decided to forgo happy hour and just order our meals. They brought chips and salsa to the table. The salsa was incredibly bitter and watery and words cannot describe how bad it really was. The chips were stale, so it made for great combo ( insert major sarcasm) We had to ask for cutlery and napkins because none were placed on the table, as well as asking for water for the same reason. So far, Customer Service has been mediocre. We ordered the "steak "and the large three enchilada platter I will preface this by saying I'm not sure which one was worse. The steak: this has to be without a doubt, the worst piece of me that I've ever seen served at a restaurant. I don't even know what kind of beef this possibly could have been, but definitely was not one that should've been served. Don't let the looks for you. There is no seasoning on it, it tasted like shoe leather, and it made me seriously sad to have to try to eat it. The black beans tasted like someone opened a can and threw them on the plate. Just gross. I always look at rice as one of those indestructible foods. How does anybody really ruin rice?!? Well if you want to find out, this is a place to find out at. The enchiladas: it came with a chili relleno. I was really looking forward to trying this. Like Rice, how does anybody really mess this up. It's supposed to be cheesy and yummy and it was none of that. The actual chili that was used was still hard, I don't know what kind of batter they used, but this was like a floofy egg. It was thick, mushy, and just gross. There wasn't much cheese, and what was stuffed into the chili. I don't even know what that was. Yes, there's cheese or something that was very plastic. He tasting on top. But that's where it was on top. The enchiladas... I don't even know where to begin with us. They were completely inedible. The meat was absolutely horrible. The chicken, I don't even know what to say about it, because the sauce is over the enchiladas tasted like burnt tin. Are the pictures pretty of the food? Sure. But I'm telling you there's horrible things happening on these plates. Same rice and same beans and same bad experience. Overall, this is definitely been one of the worst meals that I've had at what should be a reputable restaurant. The one thing about chain restaurants, is that they're supposed to be consistency. If that's the case, I'm telling you right now, avoid this restaurant! This was over $60 experience gone wrong.

    This was my first time trying Sunday brunch at Chevy's on the River and I absolutely loved it! My sister and friends brought me to celebrate my birthday and it was such a great experience. We waited about 10 minutes for an outdoor table, but it was way too hot, so we asked to sit inside. They kindly put us back on the list, and after another 10 minutes we were seated around 1:45pm just in time to enjoy the all-you-can-eat buffet before brunch ended at 2pm. It was packed, with people waiting and enjoying themselves everywhere; inside, outside, even at the bar. Definitely recommend making a reservation if you plan to go! The food was fantastic. I had a made-to-order omelet from the omelet station and it was the cook's first day, but he nailed it! Delicious. I also tried the shrimp tacos from the taco bar, which were amazing. There were plenty of options, from Mexican favorites like enchiladas to desserts and more. For about $40 per person, it was well worth it. Our server was funny, attentive, and really made sure we were taken care of. The view of the river added a beautiful backdrop to our celebration. Perfect spot for families, celebrations, or just a great brunch outing. I'll definitely be back!

    Wife's super Cinco. A lot of food.

    It's been a minute since I've been here. This place has cool vibes because it's on the river. So you get a meal with a view. Bringing my family here is a different experience than coming with my co-workers and friends. We came for a late lunch or rather an early dinner. The day was hot for a late summer day almost at the end of this Indian summer (i.e. hot late in the season) so we opted to sit inside when usually we'd sit outside and enjoy looking at the river while we eat, but it was entirely too hot this day. We ordered a Super Cinco for my wife, and I had the beef birria tacos off the HH menu. We also ordered the Spicy BBQ quesadilla from the HH menu and the fajita from the kids menu. My beef birria tacos. The meat was really good and the fried soft taco shells were so scrumptious. Overall, service was pretty fast and the food was good. We've not been here in many years or in any Chevys in quite awhile so it's good to know their fresh mex food is still solid. Kind of pricey unless eating off the HH menu which was good value.

    Little Lucie was with us for happy hour so we walked around the side to the outdoor seating area. There was a open door with a staff station there where I asked the male manager if we could be seated. He looked at us and said we have to enter through the front door to be seated. The front door and host station was about 20 feet in clear view from where we standing. His directions didn't make any sense so I asked again and he repeated himself. Okay so I guess he thought the hostess couldn't grab some menus and just walk to us in the empty restaurant? Fortunately the hostess was smarter than the manager. She saw us and came over to seat us. Unfortunately we were told you have to sit inside for happy hour and they would not make an exception because Lucie wasn't allowed inside. Well what garbage management in a 95% empty restaurant. Our hostess and server were nice though. Needless to say we left.

    Not so medium rare steak

    We decided to take the family out to Chevy's on the River because my sister was in town, and as parents of young kids, we don't get out much. It was a beautiful evening with perfect weather by the river so we figured this would be a nice treat. Unfortunately, the nightmare began the moment we walked through the door. I had called earlier in the afternoon to make a reservation for 5:45 PM. We showed up on time, around 5:40, and I let the hostess know we had arrived. She said, "It'll be just a few minutes," then immediately changed it to "about 10 or 15 minutes." No problem, we waited outside. After 15 minutes passed, I went back in to check. She said it would be another 5 minutes and asked if we needed a kids' menu. I said yes, we have a toddler. She said she'd bring one. Another 15 minutes go by, still nothing. I go back in, and finally, after a 35-minute wait with a reservation, we're seated. What's the point of making a reservation if you're going to wait that long anyway? It gets worse. We were finally seated outside by the water, great setting, nice breeze. Our server introduced herself and brought chips and salsa. We all just ordered waters. (We never got a single refill, by the way, the entire night.) We were ready to order quickly, but she didn't come back for another 10 to 15 minutes. We placed our food orders: I ordered the combo with steak, chicken, carnitas, shrimp, and veggies. My wife got chicken tacos, refried beans, and Spanish rice. My sister ordered chicken flautas. My son got pizza and fries. It took about 30 minutes for the food to come out, and then unbelievably, our son's food didn't come out for another 20 minutes after that. We all sat there awkwardly, refusing to eat while our 3.5-year-old watched us. By the time we finally all had food in front of us, everything was cold. His pizza looked unappetizing, and my steak, ordered medium rare, was cooked almost well done. Our server was trying her best, but they were clearly severely understaffed. She kept saying things were "coming right out," but they weren't. Eventually, a cook, not the server, brought out the pizza and said, "Talk to your server, I didn't even know you guys ordered a pizza." I said wow. The manager finally came over, apologized, comped our meal, and offered dessert, but by then the experience was ruined. We just wanted to leave. The worst part? I've actually had decent experiences here before. But after tonight, I won't be coming back. Unless this location goes through a serious overhaul, I don't see it surviving much longer. If you're thinking of dining here, think twice.

    Chevy's with friends
    Roya J.

    You're wondering why I would give a Chevy's 5 star as the food is consistently the same. The views, the service and overall vibes... Company may also be a contributor. The Chevy's near our place in San Jose closed a few years back and I miss their fajita combo platter and was so happy to come visit friends and family in Sacramento and get what I've missed at a waterfront setting. Will admit they seemed a little understaffed, but appreciated that the staff were hustling to meet everybody's needs with a smile. In my opinion the service, food and views earned it a five star. Please understand I am not comparing it to higher end restaurants but taking it for what it is.

    Went here today, food was good, but the service was horrible. We had a reservation and were asked if we preferred inside or outside seating. We chose outside and waited 30 minutes. I went back inside to check in with the host and they said, "Oh yeah, your table is actually ready." They also didn't have enough high chair, and we have a 20-month-old, so we ended up moving inside and sitting in a booth. Our server (a guy) took our order and brought complimentary chips and salsa twice. When the food came, a different staff member from the kitchen delivered it but forgot the tortillas. She said she'd come back, didn't even ask if we wanted flour or corn--and completely forgot about it. Meanwhile, our server seemed busy, he passed by our table three times without checking on us, and it took forever to get drink refills. We literally had to stop him and ask if the fajitas came with tortillas, he said yes and ended up bringing them himself. Food is 8/10, but service is 2/10. We were really excited because it's by the river, but the vibe just didn't match at all. Was actually planning to come back for their Sunday buffet, but I don't think that's happening anytime soon.

    2 crab & shrimp enchiladas with black beans and rice.  Yum!
    Jamille H.

    I stopped coming to Chevys for a while because of poor service, but today was different. I was promptly seated upon arrival in a booth as requested. I have been craving guacamole so I ordered the table side guacamole prepared by my waiter Alex and it was worth the wait. Prepared just right, and eaten with their light and crisp chips. The chips were lightly salted and perfect with the guacamole. For my lunch I chose the crab and shrimp enchiladas with black beans and rice. So so delicious! I strongly recommend for anyone that enjoys seafood. You will not be disappointed.

I am not one of those people, but it was a good latte for a breakfast/ brunch spot. I wish there was more ice tho.  The skillet cornbread with sharp cheddar, creamed corn & garlic, honey butter & house made seasonal jam on the side was a great starter dish. I enjoyed the garlic and cheese. The temperature/ toastiness of this was yummy.  We couldn't decide between the cornbread and the sticky bun, so the only obvious solution was to order both.
