Chuy’s is a fast-growing, value-driven, full-service restaurant concept offering a distinct menu of authentic, high-quality Mexican food. Founded in Austin, Texas in 1982 by Mike Young and John Zapp, we own and operate more than 90 Chuy’s restaurants across nineteen states. Chuy’s restaurants have a common décor, but each location is unique in format, offering an “unchained” look and feel, as expressed by our motto “If you’ve seen one Chuy’s, you’ve seen one Chuy’s!” Our restaurants have an upbeat, funky, eclectic, somewhat irreverent atmosphere while still maintaining a family-friendly environment. We are committed to providing value to our guests through offering large portions of made-from-scratch, flavorful Tex Mex inspired dishes using fresh, high-quality ingredients. Our employees are a key element of our culture and set the tone for a fun, family-friendly atmosphere with personalized service. We believe the inimitable Chuy’s culture is one of our most valuable assets, and we are committed to preserving and continually investing in our culture and our guests’ restaurant experience.
