Excellent Tex-Mex especially for a “chain” restaurant! The way the food is prepared reminds me of my favorite family Mexican restaurant growing up. You can tell the ingredients are very high quality. Fun vibe and decor with good service. It also smells really good inside the dining area and that was helped by multiple parties ordering sizzling fajitas. Maybe the best wet steak burrito I’ve ever had

The food was okay. Good service. The music was way too loud to have a conversation. We asked the waitress to turn it down. Our request was ignored.

Probably one of the most disgusting meals of my life. Frozen food heated up in a microwave.

I was originally introduced to Chuy's when I lived in TX and it is one of my favorite franchise restaurants of all time. The food is delicious, portions are MASSIVE, and the prices are very reasonable. When I found out that there was a Chuy's in IL, I had to bring my friends to check it out. The food here was excellent and the staff went above and beyond for us. I would highly recommend that you check this place out if you're in the area because you won't be disappointed. For first-timers: I recommend getting your entree with the boom-boom sauce if you like cheesy sauces!

Came here on a Saturday afternoon. When we walked in I instantly saw they were severally short staffed with all the open tables and people waited to be seated. I've always liked Chuy's because of there ranch cream, service and authentic tex mix. The food lived up to standards, but they did not refill our chips when we ran out. I had to get up and ask a separate server for more chips. When we were done eating we had to wait about 12 minutes for the server to come with our check. I don't want to blame this on the server because they were serving many tables, but it was definitely annoying when you are trying to leave.

Don’t waste your time. You have McDonald’s cooks cooking Mexican food. Meat has no flavor and dry. Just not a good experience. I never went to a restaurant and didn’t take leftovers it was because I didn’t eat the food. Sorry fellas you all failed the test. My wife was disappointed in be for choosing this restaurant. This made me look real bad. I’ve been a chef for over 40 years and when I say this food is bad is bad. Never again will I step foot in this place.

If a places chips and salsa arnt good usually neither is the food. This is the issue here. The salsa is like a watery ranch not the typical chucky salsa. The Taco Salad was good. The Burrito lacked flavor and the tortilla was just not good

Best Tex-Mex food around. I highly recommend their “Boom Boom” sauce.

Chuy’s was highly recommended to me and I was really hoping for a better experience but the waitress we had was AWFUL.1) she was mad and abrupt when we ordered drinks2) she snagged the menus away after ordering almost knocking down sets of silverware, which she didn’t even acknowledge or turn around to correct3) she only checked to ask about the meal when we were almost done (only these three interactions happened the entire meal)4) she was jumping around to other tables often and chatting, refilling chips, etc.5) I made eye contact with her as she was looking my way and gossiping about something (us maybe?) with her coworkerI had the feeling we should have just left and canceled the order as soon as she ripped away the menus. The whole time we felt awkward and stressed about the experience.We ended up speaking to a manager who was nice and understanding. Even so, the experience was ruined and I never plan to be back. The food was okay, not necessarily authentic, but good for the price.I will not be recommending this place and would rather pay for meals at places that offer consistent, good service.
Good food and drinks ! The staff was efficient and friendly.

Been here twice and both times got the Elvis Presley Memorial Combo. There is a tone of food here! A meal fit for "The King". This can easily be split between two adults.Seasoned ground beef enchilada with Tex-Mex Sauce, chicken enchilada with Tomatillo Sauce, cheese enchilada with Ranchero Sauce, crispy taco & homemade tostada chips dipped in queso..Top that bag baby of with Chuy's signature dessert "Tres Leches" and you won't be sorry!Then, wash it all down with a Tito's frozen lemonade and call it a night!Restaurant has a great atmosphere, clean and well kept, friendly staff, and even when busy...the wait isn't too bad.Keep in mind it's "Tex-Mex" and not a 100% authentic Mexican restaurant. Still good, still tastey, just pointing that out.

It's a must stop for us any time we are on our way to Chicago. Hands down my favorite mexican food.

UpdatingYou’ll see how much I enjoyed chuys in the past if you choose to read below. But this place has fallen far. The restaurant seems less clean each time I’ve gone in. The food lost its quality and the staff turn around is non stop. I’m not sure what happened but it sucks to lose another favorite restaurant.I will sing their praises. My meal was spot on and I enjoyed the the restaurant. They did make a mistake with my wife's meal but they replaced it and had a fresh meal out in no time. The manager checked in on us and showed care for the customer. I would highly recommend this restaurant. We had our two little babies with us and they had plenty of room. We have food allergies and they helped get us through our obstacles.We will be back.Some side notes to consider, this is an open floor restaurant and is not a quiet environment. So if you are looking to relax in peace you may want to spend your time else where or take it to go. Also they do card ID if you are looking to drink so you may want to make sure you have your ID with you.I had the chuchanga with steak with the green sauce. (They are allergy friendly but you will need to talk to them and explain your allergies.)

Went here tonight, food was excellent except I think they put the outdoor seating on the wrong side, it is along busy La Grange Road and it is very noisy. They should have put the outdoor seating on the parking lot side. Also, I know the outdoor seating is outside and this may have been due to the heavy rains this morning, there were a lot of ants, maybe they should have an exterminator take care of the ants outside. Still all in all a good experience. My other complaint, no frozen non-alcoholic drinks available
