Chuy's to Open Tuesday at Springfield Town Center

Chuy’s opened its doors Saturday at Springfield Town Center for a sneak preview of its menu, decor and more before its opening Tuesday, Oct. 28.

The Tex-Mex restaurant features three dining areas, a large bar, two outdoor dining areas, a tortilla-making area and a huge kitchen with an emphasis on fresh ingredients. The back of the bar — serving up margaritas and other also opens to one of the outdoor patios.

The eclectic decor includes hubcaps on the ceiling, straw light fixtures made in Mexico, an Elvis shrine/booth and a nacho bar in the back of a classic auto. The nacho bar is free during happy hour from 4-7 p.m.

If you’re doing a little shopping and looking to pick up dinner on the way home, you can order from Chuy’s and stop by and pick it up. Check out some of the signature dishes here. See the full menu here.

In addition to the Springfield Town Center location, the Texas-based chain has opened a restaurant in Fairfax and plans more in the area.
