| - Chuys is definitely a casual dining place. It refers to itself as a mesquite broiler, but the food seems pretty standard Tex-Mex. I remember going to the location near 28th Street and Indian School when I was a teenager and it was a similar decor...however the old one seemed more beach-like than, as Margaret said "cheesy spray paint t-shirts from swap meet."
What I did like about the facility is that it was very clean, well lit without glaring light, and spacious -- the tables aren't so close that you hit the people behind you when you are getting out of your chair. Why do some restaurants do that? How can being constantly bumped be an enjoyable meal time activity? Again though everything was clean.
Thankfully, we didn't get a stuffed animal marker. The idea of having stuffed animals in a greasy food establishment is quite disgusting. I only saw one table get one and it was a family with wee little children.
I am not a partaker of buffets since I am not a fan of having everyone who has come through a restaurant touching my food, so I wasn't excited about the serve your own chips and salsa. However, the sneeze guard was so large I could hardly reach the salsa -- and I have long arms.
You do order your food at the counter and get your own chips, but the waitresses bring it to you and come by often to refill your drinks.
The food was good. We got a quesadilla, fajitas, and fries/chicken. The portions were good with one exception...there were minimal tortillas with the fajitas, not near enough for all of the fajita insides.
It definitely seemed like a place where everyone should be drinking!
