    We had booked due to it being a public holiday. When we arrived we were shown to a table and despite the restaurant not having many customers at all we waited for 20 minutes without any service. No drinks order or food order taken by the staff who seemed to be chatting a lot with each other near the kitchen. So with no sign of being served, we left and walked a short distance up the road to the California Pizza Restaurant where we received great service and food. So I cant comment at all on the food or drinks as we never actually got served!

    We had a reservation made that morning for 6pm. We arrived to find that all but the bar area was closed for a private party. There was not even a table large enough for our party. Service was sluggish. Staff was kind and friendly but severely overworked.

    First the servers didn’t know there was a Mother’s Day menu so we didn’t receive our starters until asking multiple times and the starter came with our meals. One party’s meal didn’t come until halfway thru our meal. The Bottomless Mimosas, Beverages etc advertised was false advertising and pricing should have been adjusted. The menu indicated not only on the location website but also on the placard menu itself that there was bottomless drinks. The manager explained it was against the law in Arlington, however as an Arlington resident I know several restaurants have bottomless drinks with brunches. The manager comp’d a round of mimosas (4) but it was very frustrating when your mom is in town; you want to celebrate and drama gets in the way. We will not return to Chevy’s.

    We had a reservation but they essentially didn’t honor it and took us 45 minutes to get seated. The food was not great and people in the party got sick from it.

    I made a reservation for 630 and arrived at 625 to be told they are not honoring reservations and despite having a hungry 2 year old the earliest seating was at 8pm. The manager said it was a problem with the corporate office and could do NOTHING.

    Two tour buses came in to dine while we were there, and the service and speed was still excellent. We had a terrific server (British gentleman) who was very attentive and timely. Kids dessert had everyone’s mouth watering.

    Our service was less than ideal. We had a new server, Yamileth, which is totally fine but we felt that she didn’t even try to do anything to change our situation. We didn’t get our drinks until the END of our meal, she joked that she was running around and would be back in a second and ended up never coming back. She didn’t know what draft beers they had and then said they didn’t have any, when the menu said they did. The hostess was amazing and said he’d tell her it was my nieces birthday which I saw him do, and she never acted on that. The manager was amazing and did give us a discount, but we were disappointed about the lack of birthday love. The house margaritas were not good, but the food was phenomenal.

    i am not sure how this place is in business. our waiter was kind, but since he was also the bartender, after he took our order for drinks and appetizers, he never had time to come back the the table. after waiting for about 15 minutes, we gave up as we had plans for the remainder of the day. the hostess was completely unhelpful from the moment we arrived - why even have one if literally all she did was ask if we wanted to sit in the happy hour section or the regular section - a sign would have provided more value.

    I was very disappointed that they were "out of guacamole" but half an hour later we saw someone getting tableside guac. When we asked about it they said it wasn't an option at the time we requested it.

    Went on cinco de mayo so the place was understandably really busy, we had a reservation for 8pm and didn't get seated until 8:20 but they gave us a free appetizer coupon (then didn't let us use it?? said we have to come back and use it another time) so it was fine. The food was alright (I got chicken fajita--chicken was a dry but the beans, corn, veggies, etc. was great and portion size was massive). The queso is great and the free chips/salsa is a nice bonus. Service was really slow (especially for drinks) and it was very loud, but still a good experience.

    Considering I relocated here from Texas. I find this to be the closet Mexican food I can get in the DC area. They make good margaritas the staff is good and the food is above average. It might not be fair for me to judge considering.

    My family and I were visiting VA and these were one of the few places open at 8pm. When we arrived it was almost empty. Not sure if that was a sign or not but the restaurant is huge! The server was kind and took our order in reasonable time. The food was ok, the drinks could use some improvement. The give an extra shot that just does not blend well with the margarita, it’s so left field. I didn’t mix the two and still two different flavors that don’t combine well. I didn’t leave pleased.
