I came in on Cinco de Mayo, to say it was packed is an understatement. Â But we were really in the mood for Mexican, so we waited about 25 minutes or so for a table! Â We sat outside of the restaurant where we could hear our table called! Â The time just flew right by.
Once were were seated, we received very warm chips and salsa! Â There were $2 margaritas which we chose to partake in! Â They were awesome! Â We ordered our food, which didn't take very long! Â I was disappointed that they had run out of guacamole by the time we were dining, but I didn't let that spoil my experience!
The food was consistently good and the service was good as well! Â It was extremely crowded, but that didn't stop our server from providing us with very good service!
Sad that I even have to give this a star because it doesn't deserve one...I have got to say something about the visit my boyfriend had at the above location on Saturday afternoon (5/25/13)..I have never in my life had such bad food. Â Let me start by saying years ago I used to frequent the Chevy's in Annapolis MD and the food was good. Â This past Saturday my boyfriend and I had plans to stop and eat before heading to the Washington Nationals baseball game. Â We had originally gone to Cheddars but they had a 2 hour wait..(unfortunate for us) so we saw the Chevys and even though we had been told by a friend the food was terrible, we went anyway..Their was very few people in the restaurant. Â The first thing I noticed was the very limited menu. Â Not much of a selection at all. Â Not even an alternate area for people dining that don't see any "Mexican" entrees they like, a burger or chicken sandwhich isn't even offered..For starters the Queso Cheese dip was nothing more than lukewarm Velveeta Cheese with some salsa mixed in. Â The dip started to clump not even 5 minutes after we got it because it wasn't even hot. Â The food came out and the only thing we both liked was the corn bread lump whatever that was. Â My vegetarian enchiladas had potatoes in them..I have never in my life seen potatoes in an enchilada, and needless to say they were not good at all. I took 3 bites of them and left the rest. Â No flavor whatsoever which was the standard for the rest of the food. Â The rice my boyfriend and I agreed was tasteless, the beans tasted exactly like a packet of taco seasoning you would get at the grocery store. Â Now my boyfriend works at a Mexican restaurant in Va and let me tell you, Chevys was put to an absolute shame if the food we got is considered Mexican cuisine. Â I guess I've been spoiled by eating at his resaturant. Â If we would have had more time (since our waitress kept screwing up the payment on our check) we would have had some serious complaints for management but we had a game to go to. Â Odd considering both of our plates were pretty much full and hardly touched that the waitress said nothing about that, didn't ask if there was a problem or anything..So for now I'll just say we should have listened to friends about staying away from this Chevys...I sure hope you all can get some better people in that kitchen or you'll not be in business very long. Â Maybe take a peek at some of the other Mexican places around for menu options, such a disappointment. What a shame..
Review Source:I'm a Chevys fan. I used to frequent the location in my old neighborhood for happy hour and lunch so I was happy when this location opened in my current neighborhood two years ago. The restaurant is located in the Brandywine Crossing Shopping Center near Target and Safeway. Love the chips, salsa, shrimp fajitas, fish tacos, chicken quesadillas, frozen fruity margaritas, and enchiladas. As a chain restaurant, Chevys has been pretty consistent in terms of food. I've been to happy hour at this location several times too and left happy. The half-price appetizers - I usually get the nachos - and the margaritas are super yummy and affordable. This is a good location for children, family, friends, and groups.
Review Source:Le sigh.
So yes, I ate at Chevy's Friday night.
As a parent, sometimes you just have to DO things you wouldn't otherwise do!
The Bonefish Grill across the street was the intended destination--being one of my favored chain establishments--but they were on an hour wait, which wasn't gonna happen with a hungry 2-year-old in tow.
So we walked over to Chevy's, where I just KNEW there could be no wait....
There was...and we were not sat for over 20 minutes after being quoted 20.
The food was very meh.
My hubs is a real fan of Americanized Mexican and even he kept commenting that the chips and fajitas at Chili's were far superior. We ordered guac and it was sprinkled with parmesan cheese? It was better after I squeezed a lime in it. My beer, a tall Modelo Negra, kept me content through the meal.
Our 2 and 6 year olds loved the queso cheese dip and the chips. They also were given a big ball of  cookie dough, crayons and an activity book to keep em busy and a balloon as they left --a nice touch from the parents point of view.
I will say we had a very good server who was on it! We received everything super quickly and he made sure we were taken of.
All in all, this is but another Tex-Mex chain cranking out the generic. Nothing memorable but could be an option if you need something very kid-friendly where you can also grab a margarita?
This location is one of the few restaurants close to my work, so it came up in rotation when my coworkers and I were planning our monthly dinner out. Â The chips here are amazing, making up for the chips on the servers' shoulders. Â The Santa Fe chopped salad I had was pretty good too.
Review Source:My husband and I were in the area and had eaten at Chevy's years ago so thought we would give it a try. I think our taste has refined itself for we found this food pitiful. Â Everything tasted very artificial and processed. Â Our waitress was pleasant and efficient. Â The table we were shown to was dirty. Â The salsa had no heat to it and there was nothing fresh in it (such as jalapenos, onions, tomatoes, cilantro..things you would find in salsa). Â I would not recommend Chevy's to anyone that wants authentic Mexican food. If you are looking for a place that serves over-processed food you are in the right location!
Review Source:Yes. I'm admitting it. I stooped very low on a Sunday afternoon, because I was in the neighborhood and I wanted to get my chips n salsa on. My one dead Mexican grandmother and Mayan and Aztec ancestors are probably turning in their graves. Especially at the sound of Traditional Mexican folk music that switched to Britney Spears and then back. It was like Chevy's suffers from Mexican music Tourette's syndrome.
Oh my god.....I ate at a Chevys.....(deep breath)......and I kinda liked it. The taste of it's cherry chapstick. Oh wrong reference.
I'm so ashamed!
The service was slow. Sorta kinda real slow. I wasn't appreciating that. We of course were started off with chips n salsa. The salsa was kinda watered down and mild. It was just okay. After I started eating the salsa I had to really take a look around me. Not one Hispanic/Latino soul in site. Hahah! I guess that explains it.
For my main entree I went with a combo of chicken tamale and chile relleno with rice and beans. The tamale was pretty good. It wasn't too big and had a nice saucy texture mixed with the corn masa. My chile relleno was ok. Big pablano stuffed with cheese and batter fried and topped with a New Mexican red sauce. My refried pinto beans came topped with melted jack cheese.
I'm not gonna lie. I ate it all. And I washed it down with a lemonade. Why I didn't have a Corona or Dos Equis I don't know. I was driving and I had to make a quick getaway before anybody saw me coming out of that place.
I feel so dirty. Ok, lets just keep this between you and me.
My son and i went tonight for the first time..the sign advertised Wed nights as $3.00 Margarita Night! That sounded great..except when i ordered i was told that it only applied to the regular margarita, and not the fruit ones such as Mango, Raspberry, ect.. they would be an additional dollar ($4.00), and the Watermelon Margarita would not be included at all and was $7.50..the sign never mentioned any of that...so that was a little deceiving i thought..
Our waitress, Ashley, was awesome! Very friendly and helpful..never stopped smiling! We ordered Table Side Guacamole that she made herself and it was great! Served with wonderfully baked tortilla chips..The salsa they serve is good, but not great...I ordered the Shrimp Fajitas and they were good, not great. My son ordered the Chimichanga, also good, not great.. On an up note, the portion sizes are monsterous, and 2 people could easily share one dinner!
We will go again, and try something different..if nothing else, go for the Table Side Guacamole..and ask for Ashley!
