Company Story

How Chuys Came to Be

It started in a small kitchen in Katy, TX with a big dream: to recreate the warm, indulgent spirit of giordanos-style comfort dining — deep, hearty, and made to satisfy. Founder Carlos "Chuy" Ramirez spent years perfecting family recipes before opening the doors to the public in 2009.

What began as a neighborhood secret quickly became a community staple. Word spread fast — the food was bold, the portions were generous, and the atmosphere felt like someone's home. By 2013, Chuys had expanded its kitchen, its team, and its devoted following.

Today, Chuys is a landmark in United States dining — a place where first dates, family dinners, birthday celebrations, and everyday cravings all find a welcoming table. Our giordanos pizza-inspired deep-dish specials remain crowd favorites alongside our signature Tex-Mex creations.

Family-owned and operated since 2009, rooted in community values
Ingredients sourced fresh daily from local and regional suppliers
Recognized as Katy's top comfort dining destination three years running
