    Crab cake entree
    Aria M.

    All I can say is WOW - after a long day my partner and I wanted some good food and good drinks, and fortunately we picked CraftWay. We came in pretty late (urgent care visit slowed us down lol) but were treated with kindness and quick, attentive service. I love a good frozen drink and the frozen Paloma did not disappoint. I ordered the crab cake on advice from our server and my partner got the steak frites. But we're amazing, but I swear - the lemon butter sauce that came with the crab cake is magical. Plus the brussel sprouts were probably the best I've ever had. You can tell everything here is made with care and the staff takes pride in the service and food. We will definitely be back soon - this might be a new regular spot for us!!

    Appetizer sampler

    My wife and I stopped here as stop #2 of our day date and it was a great experience. The ambiance was nice and welcoming. There were a lot of people having lunch there. We sat at the bar and the bartending was very friendly and helpful as it was our first time there. She let us try a bunch of different tap cocktails and frozen drinks. I ordered the frozen old fashioned, it was delicious! Super tasty, strong, good size, and price. My wife ordered a pineapple martini, which I tried and it was also tasty. The bartender came over and gave us a free appetizer tasting which was awesome. It was coconut shrimp, fried asparagus, chicken tenders & crab stuffed mushrooms. You can tell they really care about the customers. I would love to come back and try a full meal with my family.

    Where has this place been hiding? I swear I've drivin this shopping center a hundred times over and never paid any attention to this cute little place. My friend suggested it and wow! I'm going back. We started with a few froze's. Shared the Spinach Dip, Coconut Shrimp, and split a bowl of the clam chowder. All of it was amazing. The service was great. Such a cute place and they have a great patio situation for when the weather gets warmer. We will definitely be back.

    When I was here last month, I was brought to this location by the group that I was with, and the food was delicious. So when I had to return this month for some training, I brought the individual I was traveling with here. Great service from our server, Caleb, he was friendly and outgoing and truly displayed great hospitality. Their menu has so many great things on it that it is hard to choose just one item. Because I wasn't that hungry. I decided to go with a salmon bowl. This, in my mind, is actually the perfect portion sizing for dinner as it was a nice piece of salmon perfectly cooked and season by the way, on top of a small bit of cilantro rice with some tomatoes , avocado, red onion, and arugula. Truly the perfect portion size and I devoured everything on the plate.

    Went for a birthday lunch. Everyone ranted and RAVED about their food. But the star of the show? The blue cheese chips!!

    Pasta, beef wellington

    I love when restaurants split the plates without having to ask. This was my first time having beef Wellington and wowwww! So good. Service was great! Drinks were strong and tasty. Can't go wrong at craftway at all.

    French onion soup
    Amy D.

    Craftway Kitchen is extremely popular for a reason. We had a table outside, which was seasonally decorated and fun with surrounding holiday lights. Everything on the menu sounded delicious. I ordered a chicken Cobb salad which was generously portioned with extremely fresh ingredients. The French onion soup came with a delicious and generously sized puff pastry on top. It was equally excellent. Our server was friendly and attentive. Highly recommend this restaurant!

    French toast and tacos
    Shonna R.

    The service and atmosphere of this place is a delight but the food fell short of the greatness I expected. Both the french toast and the tacos lacked proper flavor that one would expect. The food was so beautiful but the beauty did not go beyond a cute pic. We had fun and the drinks were good but I think next time we will try some lunch options.

    Frosé
    Beryl D.

    Staff was super friendly. Restaurant was nice and clean, including the bathrooms. Food could've used more flavor, but a dash of Crystal's hot sauce helped to balance out the flavor. The frosé is delicious!

    Salmon
    Pam C.

    I can see why Craftway has so many positive reviews. However, after visiting many times in the past few years I would honestly would give it 3 1/2 stars. Here's what I like: I like the overall energy, it's warm and friendly and service is good. I like the cocktails and wine list. I did enjoy my entree which was the steak salad. Steak was cooked exactly as I ordered and was tasty. What I think is a miss-the salmon is consistently overcooked. Not a lot, maybe a couple of minutes but in those minutes salmon goes from juicy to dry. Another miss for me is the noise level-it is SO hard to have a conversation here! My ears were still ringing after I left the restaurant. This really affects my enjoyment level.

I've…read morevisited many restaurants throughout Plano and Legacy West, and Haywire consistently stands out every single time. The atmosphere, scenery, food, and customer service are always top tier. I usually head to the third floor, which has become my favorite spot. During my recent visit, Fanny was absolutely amazing -- incredibly sweet, attentive, and welcoming from start to finish. Her customer service truly elevated the experience. My go-to order is always the mini elk tacos with flour tortillas, and of course the mac and cheese, but this time I tried the queso and chips and it was divine -- rich, flavorful, and honestly one of the best I've had in a while. I paired everything with a Ranch Water and had such a relaxing evening. I returned again on Memorial Day and although the third floor was closed, the second-floor experience was just as exceptional. Lauren -- the one with the long dark hair -- was incredibly kind, warm, and attentive. Ask for Lauren if you visit. She provided genuine hospitality and made the experience feel personal and welcoming. 10/10 every single time. Whether you live in Plano or you're simply visiting the area, Haywire is absolutely worth experiencing for yourself. The menu has a great variety, the ambiance is beautiful, and the consistency in service and food quality keeps me coming back.
