Chuy's first location opened in 1982 on Barton Springs Road in Austin, Texas.[6]
On May 31, 2001, then President George W. Bush's twin daughters, Jenna Bush and Barbara Bush, were cited for using fake IDs at the Barton Springs Road Chuy's,[7][8] which put Chuy's in the national spotlight.[9][10][11][12]
In 2009, Chuy's opened its first restaurant outside of Texas, in Franklin, Tennessee.[6]
On July 24, 2012, Chuy's went public with a $75.8 million dollar IPO.[13] At that time they operated 36 locations in 7 states.
Cofounder Mike Young died on August 11, 2023, at the age of 74.[6]
Chuy’s Children Giving to Children Parade has annually collected toys to be distributed to underprivileged children via the Operation Blue Santa's city of Austin Police Department not-for-profit organization since 1988.[14]
