    Tortilla chips

    I have no clue what is in the tortilla chip bag but I threw it out. That is so disgusting.

    Steak Burrito
    Gem T.

    First time at Chuy's. Came here for a team dinner after a volleyball tournament in Buda. A 5star rating is well deserved at this location. Our server, Raudy was cool as a cucumber dealing with our noisy and hungry group of 20. We ordered a variety of items and drinks. Everything was good. Our margaritas and palomas were boozy and refreshingly. My steak burrito was huge! Appreciate everyone who took care of us. We will definitely be back when we're in the area and can't wait to check out the newly opened Chuy's here in New Braunfels.

    Supposed to Beef taco Al carbon.

    Order tacos Al carbon beef. This is not worth $15. Literally 4 tiny pieces of meat. Will not be returning. Save your money and go somewhere else. Literally Taco cabana quality.

    Ordered curbside. Sat in the spot waiting for the food to come out for 54 minutes. After calling the restaurant at the 32 minute mark, we were told the wait would be 5 more minutes because they ran out of tortillas for the quesadillas we ordered. I questioned how all the other cars around us were getting orders out, and I was told they all ordered salads. 22 minutes later, they strolled out with semi-warm quesadillas and the remainder of the order was cold. We tried to question the guy that dropped off the food at curbside about it, and he blew us off. I tried to call inside, and, after holding for 10 minutes, I was hung up on.... not because I was rude... they picked up the phone and hung up without saying a word. This happened twice in a row. Apparently Chuys is overwhelmed and just throwing trash on a plate tonight.

    Jhett is a STAR!! Chuy's is a go-to stop for Tex-Mex, and most of you already know how good the food & drinks are. The Fajita Nachos and Baja Shrimp Tacos were delicious as always. BUT the STAR of this locale was our server 'Jhett!' (Yes, this is correctly spelled.). He was easily the best server we have had in months! He had them plate our shared dishes separately to make them easier to eat, refilled or replaced drinks without us having to ask, and assisted with a smile at every juncture! He would be the top employee at any restaurant; he is simply fantastic!

    Are dogs allowed?

    I'm sure they will accomodate service dogs indoors. All others must remain on the patio.

    Can I bring my dog and sit on the patio? She's about 11/12 pounds. Thanks!

The bartenders are lead by the awesome Rene(i hope i'm spelling that right) and Miguel. I haven't learned the names of the others yet but I have never had an issue with any of them and they are always so polite. You can drink at the bar and even order food from the Taproom. Now for the bad or what needs to improve. The Porch used to have a nice outside 'porch' area with nice chairs and even porch swings. That I always felt was the selling point of this place as when sitting outside i would constantly hear passers by comment on the swings and even come in to sit on them. These have been replaced by very cheap metal chairs most of which are broken now and for some reason an elevated table with barstools which isn't in the porch motif. The interior used to have nice comfortable couches and chairs but pool tables have replaced those. Its fine I mean business change with new owners but it lost a little of what it was. I would be fine with all of that, except the outdoor chairs, if it wasn't so hot inside. The AC barely works if at all and half of the fans do not work so there is no air circulation and in Texas during the summer you want a nice cool place to relax. They need to fix the fans, cool off the interior and put some fans on the exterior. In the spring time, fall and winter its a great place to hang out, but until they fix the summer issues, I can't say. It is better than when they tried to be a disco club during the pandemic lol.

You can sit facing the street, inside with both a street view and TVs, or in the back where there are more TVs but a bit darker. The bar is smack in the middle with a cool circular projection screen above it. I ordered a Deep Eddy Grapefruit with Sprite and watched the FIFA World Cup. The bartender was cool. It is definitely a cool bar with great drinks.

I will admit that my social battery corroded while here, so the last bit of time, I was just done. I know I am rapidly aging out of college bars and that atmosphere, but the most questionable people here were clearly older than me. There's a lot of space in Nephew's. The leftmost room seems pretty open, the middle is the dance floor where the DJs work out of, and the right room has all the photo op spaces. I spent most of my time in the middle. The DJs were great, playing all the club heaters everyone wants to hear. The variety from classic and new hip-hop to reggaeton was appreciated by all except this one white guy with a combover who lost all his sauce when it was a song with lyrics he couldn't understand. There was a guy with his partner who was trying to start dance circles. It was weird because his buddy in the Looney Tunes beanie reached over to grab my friend's drink twice. Like back up, buddy, no free handouts. The bottle service here seems a little out of control because the people ordering it were so unreasonably drunk that we got to watch two basically create a baby and another person shake their bones because they had nothing to really shake. I don't really believe in bottle service as a concept, especially at a college bar. Other fond memories were of me watching a three-person grind line. I wanted to join, but I was nervous to ask. As a whole, the place is just a mess of drunkenness. The floor is confusingly sticky and the people are confusingly sticky too. It made for great people watching. RIYL: Degeneracy

Bouncer was rude straight off the bat to my friend with an ID from Louisiana, he made him pull up his Apple ID because he apparently didn't know how to tell a real ID from a fake one. Whatever. We go inside and the girl is just as rude. We just had a few simple questions about their selection and recommendations and she talked to us as if we were stupid. Did I mention that she was absolutely trashed behind the bar?? I'm talking like very clearly intoxicated. It should be illegal for the safety of the customers for her to be serving alcohol in that condition. After watching her get into multiple altercations with the other customers and make an absolute fool of herself, my friends were able to gather that she is somehow the manager who was very clearly trying her hardest to be on a little power trip. The other staff had to make her sit down because she was so bad!! Hopefully they can get their management under control because it was completely dead in there and very clear why it's that way as soon as you go through the door. The only people in there were friends of the workers who were very clearly under 21. The rude workers (and the "manager" was even worse!) this girl even made comments to her coworkers about us as we were sitting right there. Then took it a step further and made rude comments towards my group as we were leaving which were very mean spirited. Learn how to work in customer service! I tipped but I really shouldn't have. When you're incoherent and "managing" I feel like it's time to grow up girl because you are making a fool of yourself to your customers and to your staff I'm sure. Dangerous spot to find yourself in if you can't control your alcohol, how are you supposed to be controlling anyone else's? Couldn't tell you why anyone would want to hang around such an environment. Only the Minors who can't get into the other bars I guess!

He said do you like strawberry, I said, I love strawberry. Then he said he would fix me something nice. And he was right. Strawberry lemonade. The drink has a mellow strawberry flavor, so it's actually not too sweet. Had like 4 drinks. The bar was pretty quiet for a Saturday night. It's in the heart of down town San Marcos I would imagine. Looked like the town hall was across the street. There was a group of people that came in, maybe a dad and his son, and son's friends.
