As a Californian, we have better Mexican food and thats a no brainer (sorry Texans). I will say though, for Tex Mex, Chuy's is a pretty solid option. The jalapeño ranch dip is a 10/10, would come back just for that alone. The baja shrimp tacos were good, but a little heavy on the sauce. Personal preference, but I'd get the sauce on the side and put it myself next time. read more

We went to Chuy's today for the first time. We decided to share their Appetizer Plate. It was a little bit of everything. Queso, bean & cheese panchos, chicken quesadillas and chicken flautas. Served with guacamole, jalapeños and sour cream. What a great surprise and a great way to sample several items. The queso, bean and cheese ponchos were very good. 1/2 crispy tortilla covered with beans and cheese. There was sour cream and guacamole on the plate for whatever you want to add it to. Chicken quesadillas were delicious as well with a great flavor. The chicken flautas were perfectly cooked and tasted great. They were all freshly cooked. We can't eat the spices so we requested no jalapeño's. The queso was very good with only a mild bite of spice. Our only minor issue is that the chips brought to the table break too easily and it is difficult dipping without them breaking. The salsa was too hot for us but I'm sure it is great for most others ordering. The platter was enough for the 2 of us to share and even bring some home for a snack later! This may be our new go to Mexican restaurant! read more

Finally got to revisiting Chuys and I realize I may give this place more credit than it's worth. Not to say the entire experience was horrendous, just there are far better options for Tex mex in Lubbock. The steak burrito I got was good but pretty mushy with the burrito quickly falling apart into a bit of a soupy mess. The chips and salsa were passable, and part of a quesadilla I had was alright, but overall it was all subpar to mediocre. Service was lacking a bit, and the interior is just kind of a mess of styles. 6/15 overall it was just a very passable experience, but I don't think I'll voluntarily eat there again. There is just nothing drawing me and there are much better options. GLEAMER read more

Chuy's - Famous Steak Burrito - Tex-Mex Near Me - Lubbock, Texas

While in Lubbock on our whirlwind trip, we needed a place to go for all of the out-of-towners to meet up for dinner as our party of 9 was a bit too big to figure out on a budget. Thankfully our local friend provided us with the details for Chuys. The decor on the inside really leans into the 1950s/1960s Americana vibe that's often associated with Lubbock without leaning into kitsch territory. The table we were at took about 5-10 minutes to clear up for us and once we were seated we felt right at home. Food came out hot and exactly as expected. The server also recommended that I HAD to try the local concoction adult beverage that apparently is a staple of this location. It was a nice treat and a quick way to feel at home. Our bill was also not exorbitantly high, which is also something else to note about this place. You'll get your dollar to go far while here. Parking is convenient right off the highway and in a large shared parking lot. read more

Service was great! Reagan was attentive and helpful with attention to detail on how we wanted our food. The queso was a 7 of 10 and the jalapeno ranch salsa was 6 of 10 but it may be my flavor profile favors a NM style or a Mexican take on flavors. This place is fun and the decor is reflective of that. The bathrooms were accessible and a changing table is available. The decor was next favorite to the service which was outstanding! They can accommodate groups in side rooms which gives your group privacy and space for enjoying your meal. The kitchen and floors looked well kept and clean. The tortillas were better than store bought but not momma made level. I would give them that they were better than most Tex mex fast food. They have a children's menu and the prices are reasonable. read more

Went to Chuy's today (04-19-2036 around 5:30pm. As we were being seated the floor was filthy and trashy with chip crumbs on some seats. The Hostess laughs and says excuse the mess. When we addressed it to the waitress, she said it was dirty because of shift change . So where is the manager supervising the customer dining area? When I worked in a restaurant I could not leave until the area was spotless for the next shift. We left without ordering and went to The Plaza! read more

I ordered a steak burrito and the meat was burned to the point it tasted like I was eating an ash tray. It was disgusting. This is about the 3rd time it has happened. I am so over this overpriced gimmicky garbage. You pick the to go orders to sneak this rancid meat in. It wouldn't be a big deal but for $20 I don't know how you people sleep at night.

Harry C here, visiting the ole hub city. Everyone kept telling me to go to chuys, so I ordered take out off the online website. Mixed Fajitas? Dry Chicken. Green Chili Rice? They forgot it. Jalapeño Ranch? Ordered 8oz... also forgotten. I went to call once I was home to talk to them, took 17 attempts to get an answer. Kindly enough they offered us a free dessert once we came to get our missing items, jokingly enough, they forgot that too. Hilarious Experience. read more

Sorry Lubbock, but this Chuy's is by far the worst one I've been to. Major inconsistency in the quality and taste of their food, salsa, Fresca looks like chunky tomatoes out of a can and the place is always dirty. I will say that on my most recent visit my way there was extremely helpful and did a fantastic job. read more

London our server was simply amazing. Displaying true Texas hospitality. She was fast, efficient and was always checking on us to make sure all was well. The ambiance is bright and the restaurant is clean. I highly recommend this restaurant if you're in the area and want something different. The prices are great and you get plenty of food for the money. read more

Chuy's - nasty chicken flautas - Tex-Mex Near Me - Lubbock, Texas

I would not recommend this place! I was shocked as this place was recommended and I would not eat here. The hostess was rude and then the place is not clean. There was so much trash on the floor like it had not been cleaned in weeks and when we were seated the booth was sticky and had trash and food on it. I would say eat at your own risk! read more

Waited over an hour for the food so canceled the order. They brought a margarita with salt and asked for no salt. They just dumped it in another glass. Manager didn't even care where our order was or if we even got it. 4 other tables got food that were seated after us read more

I recently saw that this location received 20 violations for food safety. A few weeks ago, I ordered carry out from them online. Chicken and steak fajitas - I always specify no beans and double rice. In the probably 15 times I've ordered from Chuy's Lubbock, they get it right half the time. A young lady brought the order to my car saying "Here you go mama", (ugh). I tipped her and she left. I checked the order and they had included beans. Yuck. So I take the order inside and the same young lady asks, "Hey mama, you need something else?" ....sigh..... So this is a problem. I get that people throw "mama" around as an endearment, but it does not sit well with me. Please, reserve it for people you know. I said "I need for my order to be right" and explained the problem. She got huffy and took the order back and returned with the right food. I get home and cut into the chicken, which is pink. I call the store, explain the issue and I'm asked if I want a replacement meal. I say I do not, but would like a refund (it could've been a partial refund for all I cared). The lady said "okay" and hung up on me. No "we're sorry", nothing. I've eaten at a lot of Chuy's throughout Texas, so it's sad that this one isn't up to par. Neither the staff nor the food had any redeeming qualities so I plan to avoid this place in the future. read more

I've been to many Mexican restaurants and this place is one of my top Mexican restaurants. First when you get seated you'll see decorations everywhere even at the corner of your eye. The service there is pretty good everyone who takes your order is chill. Now when you get the chips and salsa, you get one chip and but dip it in the salsa the chips get so addictive. And the food is amazing to the point you want a to go box. So if you visit Lubbock, you should try Chuy's read more

I am never one to complain, and it truly takes a lot for me to get upset. However, tonight was very upsetting at Chuys. My friend and I got to Chuys around 6:05 this evening, as we had a party of 8 for my friends birthday. We knew it would be a little wait and we planned for that. Sadly, we waited 1.5 hours for a table. We got seated at 7:30pm. The front hostess were very hostile, and when we tried to ask when our table was ready they gave dirty looks and said " we are waiting on a table" there were plenty of tables that were ready, but were not cleaned off. I completely understand being short staffed, but there were table not being cleaned off for 30-40 mins. The hostesses were sitting around playing on their phones, and eating and drinking. Here is the kicker, a family of 11 walked in about 15 mins after we checked in. They were also waiting for a long time. However, they were seated BEFORE us. This is what upset us. They were seated about 15 mins before us, when we were there well before they arrived. Not only that, but when we got to our table there was water and food all over the floor, and it was very slippery. Our waiter (who was working very hard, and was doing everything by themselves) sadly was not able to tend to our table. We were left without chips the majority of the night, and our drinks come out about 30-45 mins after we ordered them. Additionally, there were waiters who were sitting at tables talking to their friends, and not helping. One waiter sat at a booth for over an hour and just talked, while we were waiting for chips, water, etc. Not only that? but we're taking up the stalls in the bathroom playing on their phones. Again, I am not one to complain but this was the worst service I have ever experienced. read more

We ordered a dine out order last Sunday at Chuys. My husband went to pick it up and called the number in the drive up spots. He waited for over 30 minutes when the hostess finally answered she said it would be "right out". He waited another 20 minutes and ended up having to leave due to my baby and kids being in the car, so he wasn't able to go in. I then made my way up to the restaurant and went inside. There was about 10 other people waiting for their pick up orders as well and had the same issue that the staff was not picking up the phone. I explained to the hostess that I had a pick up order and she wrote my name on a list. I then continued to wait for another 30 minutes and one by one people were getting their to go orders. Once I was the last person waiting, I asked again on the status of my order. A waitress came out and told me that they were out of chips and they weren't sure when they were going to be able to make some because the cook "wasn't there" . I then said that's fine, we just wanted our lunch. After waiting for almost 45 minutes in the restaurant, the waitress came out and said that they didn't have record of my order anywhere and they aren't sure how long it would take to make our new order. I just had to end up leaving without our food. They DID give us a full refund. We are long time customers of chuys and usually have great service along with great food. I just wanted to bring it to Chuys attention because this was extremely out of the ordinary for them, and we left extremely disappointed. read more

Server was really nice, and the food was GREAT! Love the atmosphere too! We hadn't been in a long time, but will definitely be back!

I placed an online order for pickup. After my order the conformation said my order would be ready 7:16 pm I get to the restaurant and I was told my order would be ready in 15 minutes 45 minutes later my order came out all I was told was sorry for the wait. When I got my order home everything was cold . If I could give zero stars I would read more

I would give no stars if it would let me. Twice have tried to eat but the hostess wanted us to sit at the bar. She got a stupid look on her face when we asked to sit somewhere else.it was just me and my wife they were not busy at all. She stared at a piece of paper twiddling with her hair. We left and will never be back. read more

We had a rookie server named Cam, he was GREAT. Hostess were horrible little b word young girls, also heard multiple people complain about them. But Cam saved the day for us!

First timer. I had been wanting to try since it always looks packed so after running my errands I decided to order online and pick up on my way home. I ordered the cheese enchiladas which came with rice, beans, chips, salsa, and a jalapeno dip. I thought boy oh boy can't wait to get home and eat! Boy oh boy was right. I was deeply disappointed. The enchiladas had absolutely no flavor whatsoever, the rice was just as flavorless and the beans didn't taste like beans. The tortilla chips were good but the "salsa" tasted more like marina sauce and the "jalapeno" dip was just good old ranch dip, no jalapenos detected. Not at all impressed. I threw everything out and will not recommend or be back. The ONLY reason they received 2 stars was because the car service was great and I liked the chips. read more

The Elvis Presley Combo was delicious and lots of food for 12.99! I had the perfect Texas Tini with Patrón and Gran Marnier and it was pretty good too. The server was friendly and prompt and the music was not too loud. Lots of great 80's jams! Love Chuy's! read more

For starters this is my first review I have ever left in the 2.5 decades I've been around, so that's how you know I had a bad experience. Food was mid at best. For some reason they put the queso on the bottom of the chimichangas so it's all dry even after scooping the minuscule amount of queso on top. Oh and I totally forgot to mention the incompetent staff who stole my girlfriend's purse. While she may have forgotten at the restaurant; the staff screwed us around by claiming there was no purse or wallet. They don't even have inside cameras (how safe of them) The following day she receives a call saying they found a wallet on the floor but no purse (how odd indeed you may be thinking). She then goes to Chuys , only to find out that they gave it away to someone with the exact same name but didn't even bother to check the ID picture, so how would they know it's the same name (incompetence, lazy, or thieves I guess that is for the reader to decide). The following day she receives a call saying that they do in fact have her wallet, but still no purse. Now you may be wondering how that's possible. Why would a thief steal a purse but no wallet? I guess the thief has a modicum of decency to leave the wallet but still the disgusting morals to take something that isn't theirs. Now dear reader while there is humor in this review, make no mistake, everything is true. This location has incompetent staff, thieves and liars in their midst. Do not waste your time, money, and digestive juices on this mediocre excuse for a restaurant. Be a true American and keep your money in the community by eating at a local restaurant. Chuys if you are reading this, for God's sake get inside cameras and teach your staff to be honest and not steal from their customers. read more

Great service, amazing food! We come here often, as we love the atmosphere, love the food, and love that it's not insanely expensive. Creamy jalapeño dip is one of the best things on the planet! Fajitas are so good, as are the deluxe chicken enchiladas. Really not a bad thing on the menu! Great place to eat. read more

Chuy's is my wife & I's go to! This particular night our family wanted to hangout on a Saturday night & Chuy's was the place to be!

I had two chicken enchiladas with the creamy jalapeños sauce ... to die for! You can't go & not get the creamy jalapeños. Can't wait to go back soon! read more

It's pretty decent most of the time. Kind of depends on the service. In the bar it is definitely hit or miss. Regular staff are a little too comfortable. Almost like they are too good to wait on you. Food isn't as good as it used to be. Frozen Margarita is always outstanding. Tres Leches is excellent! read more

Horrible service, terrible service, always dirty. And...it always shows up on the food violation list for Lubbock TX.

I hate to say it, but I enjoyed it! I usually steer away from chain restaurants and eat locally, but everyone I know is always talking it up! Their salsa is more so a pico. I tried their cheese enchiladas with their signature boom boom sauce. Their boom boom sauce is basically queso, but spicy. Emphasis on spicy. Pretty delicious though in my opinion. Food was quite salty last time we were here. Service can be a bit inconsistent, but this is one of those places I crave going to now. Decent prices! Not my favorite place in town, but definitely a place I enjoyed and will happily go back to! read more

My friend was hyping this place up all weekend. She built it up so high, I figured it'd be impossible to reach the standards I expected. I'm happy to announce that the hype was worth the wait! The atmosphere and food were up to standards. I'm very picky with my refried beans. Chuy's beans were some of the best I've ever had. The main course (green chili chicken enchiladas) were something special. Very unique in appearance and taste. The only complaint I have is the salsa served with the chips and the rice included with the entree. The salsa isn't blended, which threw me off. As for the rice, it was subpar at best. At the end of the day, Chuy's lived up to the impossible standards I initially perceived. A great place for anybody to find a delicious meal. read more
