    Updated review if you don't know by now, I think it's been 18 months since Chuys was bought out by Darden and boy. Oh boy this was mine and my families spot one of our key places that we shared a lot of time together over the last 20 years and it's been ruined. I haven't been there in six months because the last time we went, the experience was bad. The service is bad and the food is starting to take take on the look and premise of prepackaged right out of a can. I literally almost cried. I love the restaurant there in Saint Matthews. My family and my two daughters my wife we were regulars at that restaurant. I knew a lot of the waiters and waitresses. I'm not sure if the manager I've only seen him once, but I think he may also be or was an owner then. He would usually be sitting up at the bar and he made sure things were perfect and most of the time you couldn't get in that place especially on a Friday or Saturday you could forget it. It would be backed out going out the front end. Not anymore the first thing that happened was tthey used to give you free chips and queso or queso was just like under five dollars a bowl now it's almost $10 a bowl now and filling up your chip basket is a lot less frequent than it used to be & you have to ask for salsa and the cream chip dip. Your food comes out to you. It's not hot I got the Elvis Presley combo and it was just warm and guess what else the size of the food your portions are shrinking and they increase the prices. They evidently brought in a whole new set of waiters and waitresses either they're using that chewies for a training for all their other Darden restaurants or what is happen when you have a a giant conglomerate like Darden come in the entire atmosphere changes Used to have beautiful Spanish sometimes a little rock 'n' roll music playing.....that's over I suspect they've gotten a new manager and he's come in and doesn't know the first thing about that restaurant. It's food or how to keep the chewy atmosphere the way it was, and here she is coming and made a bunch of changes and a bunch of the senior staff has quit or maybe I hope that they got promoted to another restaurant or something. It's not the same. It's not special anymore. It's not unique. It's not fun. It's not the Chuy's that made it successful. It's Darden's version of a Mexican restaurant. Good luck.

    Tres Leches cake, to go.

    Absolutely love Chuy's! We used to have one nearby in the Chicago area, but it closed. The chicken burrito bowl I had for lunch was so large I was munching on it, from my hotel fridge, for a few days. The chips and salsa were delicious and fresh. But the highlight of the meal was the Tres Leches cake. It was so fresh, moist and just the right amount of sweet.

    Strawberry & Lime Margarita...it's that kind of day!!!

    I may not be in Texas right now but no reason can't eat like I am. Amazing bar service!! Andrew the bar tender is so on point! Exactly what I needed today being exhausted in all capacities. My dad passed away today in 2020 and my soul still feels like it was just two minutes ago. Grief is a crazy ride and creeps up on you from nowhere. Today I am allowing my comfort food & drink to help soothe my soul. I needed consistency and finding nothing more consistent than Chuy's. Chicken deluxe is so creamy spicy good. I barely had to speak and Andre's knew what I was asking for. I choose to believe that is Angel sent. I didn't realize Chuy's was outside of Texas and today I am so happy I saw it from the highway! Cheers dad!! Miss u sooo much! If you are in Louisville and in St Matthews area check out this Chuy's and sit at the bar. If you are lucky, you will get Andrew from the bar and it will fill like coming home.

    Taco and one enchilada
    Saphace A.

    Came for dinner around 7:15 ish on a Saturday night. I had put our names on the waitlist online and there was only a 10-20 min wait so we drove over right away. No more parking spots at the front but there were plenty at the back. When we checked in with the hostess, we didn't wait long to be seated. Tons of groups here. Always loud, always a fun vibe. The decor seems mismatched. Palm trees, strung up lights, black and white photos of people I don't recognize. Why does it remind me of Bahama Breeze? We started off with chips, salsa and their jalapeño sauce. Delicious! The chips are thin and easy to munch on. The salsa to me was kind of acidic. Not the best. I like the jalapeño sauce. Creamy and kinda sweet. For our entrees, I got the taco with one enchilada, my sister got enchiladas, and my mom got the combo fajitas. We all liked the food! Tex Mex ain't bad. Food portions arent too much. Doable to eat it all but I was pretty filled up on chips. I only ate my enchilada. I used to come here a lot ten years ago. Brings back memories. Hope to be back again soon!

    Red Robin

    When it comes to cheeseburgers, I always want to eat at Red Robin. Something that looks cool about this place is how they decorate their place is the Statue of Liberty, but instead of the torch, it's a cheeseburger. Pam (our waitress for today) was awesome. They gave us our food in about 4-5 minutes. Speaking of the food, it was also awesome. Gourmet is their recipe. When my dad told them I wanted a plain cheeseburger, they listened. We came out with full stomachs when we exited Red Robin. Their logo looks nice as well.

    I quite enjoy the Chuys chain, and this location is a great reflection of what it's all about! Quality staff provide a friendly, ubeat experience 7 days a week. This location is always consistent, the quality of the food never wavers, and the interior is always very well maintained! I always recommend their steak fajitas with a side of red chill sauce, and ending the meal with a Tres Leches Cake!

    I usually don't bother with chains, but Chuy's is just something different. I dunno, maybe it's the insane decorations, or the different furnishings each sections have, or hell , maybe it's even the food. The chips and jalapeño ranch dip is by far the most addicting thing on the menu. Spicy, but not very. Just the right amount of goodness. The texmex fare is usually pretty good, but won't blow you away. Service is good. Drink menu is good, too. Worth checking out, especially if you've never been. I know I'll be back, as both my kids love this place.

I'd skip the slaw next time, not bad, but would try something else. The warm cookie to finish the night was epic! Baked fresh and did not disappoint.

It could just be mediocre pub food, but the food here is very, very good. I don't know why, but when I'm in the south, I get the hankering for a deviled egg. So we started with the deviled eggs (Los Huevos El Diablo), which, despite the name, were not super spicy. They had just the right amount of spice. One thing to know about me is: If I see a patty melt on the menu, I will order that. So I got the Merle's Melt, which is a burger patty with cheddar and Monterey jack cheese, plus bacon and special sauce on buttered toast. It was sublimely tasty! It comes with house-made chips, which were good. They also offer tacos on the menu. One of my children got one steak taco and one chicken taco. The tacos are topped with tomato, lettuce and cojita cheese. I was told that these were very good! My kid eats like a bird, but ate one and a half tacos, so that must say something, right? The Lip Smack'n Mac & Cheese was also ordered, as well as the fried chicken, because the menu says that the fried chicken is award-winning, so how could we not? The fried chicken was super crispy and tasty, and the mac and cheese was creamy and made with large shells, which is the best kind of pasta to use for mac and cheese (in my opinion). The service was great, the lighting was great, and we were seated quickly, even though they seemed busy. It was a good place to have a family dinner in Louisville.

Due to a tornado warning, we decided to skip driving to Agave + Rye (big mistake) from Veterans due to living over 30 minutes away and needed to get home stat. So we ordered from what we thought was an interesting menu compared to most taco spots. Sadly, the tacos received were child size, yet cost $7-$8. My shrimp taco had one shrimp on it, and the rest sauce. While my chicken taco that was supposed to have quirky ingredients was missing said ingredients and the chicken was raw. I immediately spit it up and threw it in the trash. While my stomach did hurt for two days, I'm still alive. So, it luckily didn't kill me but there is a serious disconnect in the kitchen. I attempted to contact the business to discuss the order issues but a manager never called back. Wouldn't have left this review if communication was followed through on. I work hard for my money and was expecting a loaded high-quality $8 taco worthy of the investment. Torchys, sadly, didn't deliver on that promise. From the muddled flavors, missing ingredients, raw chicken, and dollhouse sized tacos... Torchys won't get my hard earned money again.
