Chuy’s to open in January

Austin-based Chuy’s, a Tex-Mex restaurant, will open its first Northwest Arkansas location in Rogers early January 2014.

“We’re so excited to introduce Chuy’s to Northwest Arkansas,” said Jason Crane, local owner and operator for the new Chuy’s under construction at 4889 W. Pauline Whitaker Parkway, near the Pinnacle Promenade exit on I-540.

“We can’t wait to give this community their very own Chuy’s experience with made-from-scratch Tex-Mex in a fun and funky atmosphere.”

For more than 30 years, Chuy’s has served fresh Tex-Mex cuisine in a fun and vibrant atmosphere the menu features authentic family recipes from South Texas, New Mexico and Mexican border towns.

Flour and corn tortillas are hand-rolled all day on the authentic comal located in the dining room, allowing customers to experience the freshness firsthand.
 
The eateries décor is complete with an Elvis Shrine, wall of local dog photos, funky art, metal palm trees and a hubcap-covered ceiling.

A cornerstone of the Chuy’s philosophy is to give back to the local community. A Rogers charity partner will be announced later this month. Chuy's is still evaluating a few details regarding staffing and hopes to make a hiring announcement in a few weeks regarding.
 
Chuy’s launched its first Arkansas location in Little Rock May of 2013.
