Chicken and fries
Julie C.

You can smell the food well, while you are waiting for a parking space outside the restaurant. The wait, for your food maybe a good 35- 60 minutes, before you may receive it, but Brandy the Manager will make sure, that your food is hot and finger tasting good

Menu

I have been waiting to come here for quite some time and try out the black box. Got here after work and the black box was sold out so we went with the crab boxes. We ended up getting the last of the crab and it showed. After our order they were sold out of all seafood. The flavor on the crab was really good and the butter sauce it comes with was so delicious. But the crabs were small and not the best quality. However, I enjoyed the sausage, corn, and potatoes it came with as well. Service wasn't the best but I'm just going to assume it's because we went after work and they were basically getting ready to close within the next two hours. I will say, I plan to come back and try way more items because the seasoning and flavor is on point.

Wing and fish plate

Do not worry about the expensive price because you're going to get your money worth one plate feed three. Food is cook to order, fish was crispy and hot, and wings well seasoned. I've been to Aunt Irene several times and will definitely go back. P.s. great customer service

There is minimal seating. Cozy neighborhood eatery but the food is fantastic.. seasoned served hot and fresh. You walk up to the counter place your order and receive an order alert. The fried shrimp box was delicious, the shrimp are collasoul, buttered texas toast the cheesy potatoes were cooked soft. Cheesy and delicious the side of corn boiled sweet with that old bay OMG The wing and shrimp box was just as good if not better, the wings are whole big wings. The lemon pepper was spot on. We were visiting the Dallas area and this spot was on our list of local places to visit and I'm glad we did.

Believe the hype y'all! Aunt Irene's is the best Cajun/creole food spot in Dallas. I've been here multiple times and have never been disappointed. EVERYTHING is so good!! The flavors are bold, soulful & unique. If you love flavor, then you'll love it here!!! Besides food, it seems always busy but there's never a long crazy wait and the hospitality is always great. What I also love about Aunt Irene's is how vast & diverse their menu is. There is so much to choose from, and all of it is good!!! You must try it for yourself, if it sparks your interest.

Absolutely delicious! Everything was well seasoned and freshly prepared. The sauces are amazing! This place is worth the 4-hour drive from Hoston! I will go back e-v-e-r-y time I'm in the Dallas area! I only wish they had larger building, as they were quite busy and we had to wait a long time for the limited seating. I have to say it's well worth the wait and I'll be waiting whenever I have to in order to get m yummy food!!

The black box
Shan H.

Seafood was overcooked. Flavor was good. The sausage was really good. Definitely pricey so be prepared to spend more than $35 pp. The parking is limited but there is no charge. Location is near the fairgrounds. They serve premixed drinks in a bottle that is well prepared.

Black Box
Andi R.

So I'm conflicted. I want to give this between 3 and 4 stars. The service was good, and we were given everything we asked for! The portions are huge so definitely worth the amount you're paying for seafood. The flavor of everything was very good from the seasoning to the sauce. The sausage, corn, and potatoes were absolutely amazing. The issues are with a few of the main food items. The crab legs were a little bit on the drier side, so we had a very hard time getting the meat out which is wild because that's the most expensive part. The shrimp was delicious but not deveined which is a bit odd. The fried catfish tasted a bit one note. My husband didn't even make the fried shrimp sound appetizing, so I didn't try that. The fried box came with cheesy potatoes which was just the plain potato with cheese on top. I wanted to like this so much more, but unfortunately there were just too many big misses! They had a ton of customers though and a lot of whom seemed like frequent fliers, so they have to be doing something right.

What is the best day to go, we drove down today and it was so packed we just left?

You have to take your chance with the rest of the folks waiting in line.

So you guys take phone orders and then we just pay and pick up?

I've tried calling in the past and no answer. I think they only take walk in orders. The wait is really not that long and it's worth it, even on busy days.

What time do they close on fridays now that covid is around?

9pm

What is the phone ni?

(469) 899-7927

Do you need to make reservations? If not how long is the wait normally?

1 hour

I called 5 times at different times not close to closing time and no answer, yalls phone work?

Lol you have to go up there .. it’s worth it tho .

Is this place open on Sundays?

Yes it is.

I regularly dine for business purposes at the best steak houses in Dallas, New York and Las Vegas…read more Andreas is as good as it gets. Very interesting menu. We ordered the best Wagyu on the menu, lobster thermidor, foie gras and burrata appetizers, and a variety of sides. All were excellent. This will be my go-to in Dallas for my best clients. Expensive but worth it.

Underwhelmed by another Dallas steak house…read more Atmosphere 5/5 Service 4/5 Food 3/5 With so many choices for steaks in the area you really have to stand out and the price to value and quality was not there tonight for this early out of the gate steakhouse. With several months under their belt in this location I was very disappointed in what I received. Lamb meatballs were fine as well as the Lobster Bisque which most people get, along with the salads we tried and the French onion soup but beyond that, the main courses were woefully underwhelming. Steaks were fine and cooked to temperature but that's it. No seasoning, nothing special, just slapped down in front of you like it came off the grill in the backyard. With prices at the top of Dallas area steakhouses per ounce of meat, I would rather be at one of the other well known spots around town. The lobster tail was absolutely awful. I guess at $60 for a 10oz tail I should have known it was too good to be true. I mean when a 10oz tail is less than their 8oz filet, I really should have passed. The tail was basically not edible. The skin of the tail stuck to the meat making it like chewing wax paper. I was able to cut that part off and eat what was left. Other people had NY strip which was good and the sea bass which was better than the lobster tail. Overall it's a nice quiet romantic place to try out but I'd stick to drinks at the bar and some appetizers. Just my opinion and maybe it was an off night.

Fancy spot! You wouldn't mind if I review it, would you? Eating out in Dallas can get really…read moreexpensive, really quick. Often times after it's all said & done, you wonder - was that worth it? Thankfully, that is NOT the experience I had at Haywire! I ate here on August 9th, 2025 and enjoyed everything about it. I was with a large party but would love to return for a more intimate experience. On this Saturday, my younger cousin was graduating from Parker University so I was in town for the weekend. At around 1pm, I was one of the first to arrive at the restaurant. Unfortunately the parking is a bit confusing. There was construction being done on the same street when I went but there's a parking garage for customers that's difficult to navigate AND the elevator that connects wasn't operating at the time which was an issue for many (but not me, I got a good spot & walked). My party hadn't all arrived yet so I took a gander. Upon entering the tall doors, the space breathes southwestern elegance: wooden structure, leather seating, separate dining areas with highlighted ranch-style art. The abundance of space gives it an open-concept feel. The lighting fixtures are modern, the space was dim but not too low, with an option to utilize the large windows also. I was quiet impressed at the overall presentation. When my party did arrive, I wanted to keep it simple so I ordered the Chicken Cobb Salad and a Hibiscus Haze with Vodka. The table shmoozed as we ate some of the appetizers: the Crab Dip & Green Tomatoes, both amazing. The food did take some time but, considering it was 10-12 of us, that's expected. The Hibiscus Haze was splendid: smooth & flavorful, a great concoction. Cobb salads are usually pretty thick but this one was HEARTY. It came in a large bowl stuffed with the all the toppings. The dressing it was tossed with was well balanced but could've used a tad bit more. With some pepper & a little ranch, I was set! I defeated the salad but it also left me stuffed to the gills. Satisfying meal that I would order again! There are tons of restaurants to dine at in Dallas & sometimes you never know which is worth your time. Despite the inconvenience of parking, I'd bet my bottom dollar that this is a good place to eat. Whether you want a fine dining experience, it's a special occasion or just want a good drink with a meal, Haywire has enough to satisfy all interests.

WILL NEVER BE BACK!…read more HATED. EVERY. MOMENT. OF. THIS. PISS. POOR. EXPERIENCE. EVERY. SINGLE. MOMENT. VALET. NOT. FREE. I called before deciding where to eat on a Sunday afternoon to confirm parking situations. Parking is not easy downtown so this played a huge factor in figuring where, out of the dozens of brunch places, to eat. Definitely a bit of a walk to get accommodated at the actual restaurant so valet seemed the most reasonably enticing for parking solutions. Well, I called and spoke with the lady at the front desk. I confirmed with this little girl FOUR TIMES IF 1. They had valet available today 2. If it was complimentary. Come to find out it was not complimentary. And $7 for parking just doesn't sit well with me when there are ample free options else where with satisfying beverage, meal, ambiance, and service. All of which, I DID NOT GET AT HAYWIRE. I come in and although I had a reservation that I was 10 minutes early for while noticing tables available, I was told by that same girl who lied to me about parking I needed to take a seat. Reassuring me that it would only take two minutes to be seated. 10 minutes later I see coupled and groups walking in and guess what? They were immediately sat. While I am waiting to be sat at one of the three clean tables I'm staring at. I finally tell my boyfriend I am about to eat at the bar and he goes to the hostess stand to inform them our frustration and guess what? We were sat immediately. I get seated and there are two standing fans placed next to my table that's blowing my hair all over the f*****g place. I had to tell them to turn them off. What? No AC in this place either?? We immediately ordered and got the elk tacos for an appetizer. The tacos are WAY too spicy and way too salty. Too spicy AND too salty?? They're a no for me. You literally can't taste anything because of both! I HATED these little tacos. Probably the worst I've ever had. Ever seen someone attempt to pinch a bit of salt to season and the entire top comes off?? These tacos. My boyfriend had the chicken fried steak. He loved it (loves spicy and seasonings because he's Cajun) but I tried it and it was over seasoned. Again? Couldn't taste what I was eating. The mashed potatoes were divine. Enjoyed those! And then the green beans were tasteless. Hahaha what a joke. I ordered the barbacoa chilaquiles and it was literally too spicy to eat. Inedible. My eyes teared up, my nose started running, and I couldn't taste anything after a couple bites of the spice. I was so f*****g over this place I just ate my boyfriend's mashed potatoes and we left. If I had it my way, I wouldn't have paid for a thing here. They don't deserve our money and I HATE they got a cent from me. I'm livid. I hate this place W I L L N E V E R B E B A C K

Truluck is always a good choice!…read more A group of 6 of us visited Truluck's to celebrate a friend's birthday and our server was as attentive to our group as if we were there as pairs or individuals. You can tell that the restaurant prides itself on excellent hospitality from entering to exiting. The crab cake was so delicious that once it arrived I forgot to take a picture and started eating it immediately It was a nice size and had plenty of crab meat. Whenever I see sea bass on the menu I go for it and the miso-glazed sea bass was delicious. The crab fried rice was a perfect pairing and I really enjoyed the shave vegetables. I ordered the petit sized meal. I love that they offer this so that you have the option to try multiple items or simply don't want leftovers of a dish. For dessert we had the baked Alaska. I heard of the dish but this was my first time trying it and I am in love. I attempted to order it on a cruise and while decent it didn't stand a torch to Trulucks! I always thought of it as a special occasion restaurant because of the upscale atmosphere but I just discovered they have daily happy hour so I will be checking that out soon!

Wine service to food and any other requirements. Well trained committed staff There were shared starters of crab cake, shrimp and Caesar salad. Shrimp was firm and tasty. Large shrimp. Crab cakes were also cooked well and the crab content was solid. Served on a bed of tartare sauce. Salad was also crisp and fresh. I chose the branzino and loved it. Cooked perfectly with a lot of lemon on it. Sides were mashed potatoes, mushrooms and asparagus. All cooked perfectly. Key lime pie ended the evening. That is a good key lime pie!! I highly recommend this place!
