    Went for the cowgirl meal. Portions were small . But the food was delicious. We ended up ordering the chefs favorite 4 appetizer after the meal. The tacos were mid, the queso tasted like it was mostly sour cream, but the onion rings and the fried green tomatoes were en point. The decor was cool - snazzy Texan feel.

    We were seated quickly in a side room that was perfect for conversation. I had a Cobb salad with blackened chicken which was delicious - well seasoned chicken and light dressing. My friends ordered ceviche and chicken Caesar salad. The fried green tomatoes were the best she's had. Our server brought drink refills before we asked! A very pleasant experience!

    So I went during the day on a weekday so place was pretty empty. When you arrive, the hostess was very nice and got seated right away. Our waitress was very nice, but at times it was hard to find her. When we arrived, I started with a Tito's and soda, which took quite a while to get and apparently it's because the Bartender is not always behind the bar. We started with a chef's favorite four. The queso on it was good. It was just a little too thick and salty, the fried green tomatoes. I didn't enjoy cause I like that they were battered instead of breaded. The onion rings. I have to say they were good. I didn't mind that they were regular breading and the onion inside was a good amount, which is great. Lastly, it had elk tacos, which was actual elk meat. I thought it was just ground beef because that's what it tasted like and it was over seasoned and dry. I then got the bone and ribeye and asked for a medium when I first cut into it. It seemed fine, but as I continued to cut pieces off the steak, it was well done and dry. They overdid the pepper on it. It literally was the whole flavor. The green beans tasted fishy. I don't know if they had just finished cooking fish around them so I was not able to eat them. My friend got a chicken fajitas plate and the chicken tasted fake. It was like like eating plastic. I don't know how to explain it. It had chimichurri rice, which was dry and salty. It really sucks cause there is such a high talk of this place, especially as location and how cute it is, but I sadly won't go back since the food was not worth the price at all.

    Chicken fried chicken & egg biscuit ($15.95)

    Haywire gives you that Texas aesthetic with delicious southern food at affordable prices and great hospitality! FAST FACT: * Parking - nearby parking garages with free parking * Reservations - available online through OpenTable * Delivery - available through UberEats and DoorDash * Happy hour - Monday through Friday from 2:00 to 6:00 pm with $7 drinks and bites PRICING: The total was $68.53 after tax ($5.23) but before tip for a sweet tea ($3.50), blueberry biscuits ($10.95), kolaches and queso ($13.95), hot chicken sandwich ($15.95), chicken fried chicken & egg biscuit ($15.95), and side of cornbread ($3). I think the pricing is INCREDIBLY reasonable for the portion size you get! SERVICE: The hostess greeted us right away and took us to a table and our server Sidney was super friendly and personable! There was a little miscommunication where we ordered the chicken and waffles but were brought a chicken sandwich but it wasn't a big deal. Overall I was impressed with how quickly the food came out and how nice all the workers were. BLUEBERRY BISCUITS (8/10) - I hadn't seen pictures so I didn't realize they were mini size but they were delicious nonetheless! It comes with 5 mini biscuits drizzled in the lemon glaze with extra glaze on the side. The biscuits are moist and soft, the blueberries are fresh, and the lemon glaze adds a nice tartness and some extra sweetness. These are good to share between 2 people. KOLACHES & QUESO (8/10) - Great appetizer! The pretzels are soft and chewy, the jalapeño cheddar sausage pieces are flavorful, and the queso blanco is nice and thick. It comes with 6 big pieces so it's perfect for sharing. CHICKEN FRIED CHICKEN & EGG BISCUIT (8/10) - This is MASSIVE and it comes with potatoes on the side! It's hard to take bites and get all of the toppings because there's so much going on but it tastes just as good if you deconstruct it on the plate. The cheddar, jalapeño, and bacon biscuit is soft and flavorful and holds together pretty well. The chicken fried chicken was cooked perfectly and the jalapeño sausage gravy is delicious. The green tomatoes and garlic aioli get a little lost. The egg is scrambled... I kind of wish it was a sunny side up egg instead but I'd still order this again! HOT CHICKEN SANDWICH (7/10) - I don't know if this is even a regular menu item... we ordered the hot chicken and waffles but this is what we got instead. The chicken was cooked perfectly but there wasn't much heat. The bread and fries on the side were both delicious but the sandwich was a little too saucy and kind of fell apart. CORNBREAD (9/10) - Don't skip this! It's incredibly moist and has the perfect level of sweetness. If you love cornbread, definitely order a piece or two. I visited during brunch on a Saturday around noon. I had a reservation but probably didn't need one because they weren't super busy. However, I will definitely come back for dinner in the future and would recommend Haywire as a great dining option while at the Domain!

    Pork belly bites
    Angela V.

    Went to brunch here with my husband and we decided to do several apps and share an entree. When we arrived we were greeted warmly and sat quickly. The ambiance was very nice and loved the chandelier lights. For our apps we tried the following: - Fried green tomatoes, these were amazing they were fried perfectly and the green sauce they came with was very flavorful and helped balance out the dish. 5/5 for this one. - kolaches and queso, was my favorite appetizer that we got it was a jalapeño and cheese kolach. It wasn't spicy just flavorful and dipping it in that queso made for a 5 start app. - pork belly bites, cooked perfectly and the sauce was delicious. No complaints a 5/5 for this app. - Elk tacos, so these tacos the elf comes ground and in crispy taco shells, which would have been fine if they gave you more sauce or toppings to help combat the dryness of the other ingredients. So for this dish it was a 3/5. Flavor was fine but eating it without us having to use sauce and topping from our other dishes is why it gets a 3. For our entree we got the barbacoa chilaquiles. Was a large amount of food and well balanced meal. The meat was cooked well and was a great shareable dish. Service was attentive and quick throughout the meal. I would visit again.

    Haywire is probably the restaurant I visit most often in Austin, especially for happy hour! The happy hour deals are hard to beat! My go-to is the $7 frozen margarita, which is surprisingly strong while still being incredibly smooth and delicious. You also can't go wrong with the $7 chips and queso, which are always a great snack to share. The bar has a fun, lively atmosphere, and the service is consistently friendly and attentive. Even outside of happy hour, I keep coming back for the steak salad and the burger. Neither is on the happy hour menu, but they're both consistently delicious and never disappoint. If you're looking for a great happy hour spot with good food, drinks, and a fun vibe, Haywire is definitely worth checking out.

    Love P.

    I always have great service at Haywire. Brunch has become one of my favorite times to go. The kolaches are fantastic. Their queso and jalapeño gravy are both Lactaid-worthy from my perspective. The interior design definitely fits the vibe of the restaurant.

    It's cowboy style restaurant. So they serve all kinds of steak. I ordered 13 oz ribeye. It's delicious.

    It's cowboy style restaurant. So they have really good steak. I ordered 13 oz ribeye. It's delicious. The appetizer wasn't that good. I ordered crab lump, couldn't taste any crab flavor. Very disappointed with that dish.

    Chips and queso
    Shannon G.

    Was meeting someone for the first time here for drinks. Not even sure how I blurted out the statement, but I told the bartender, Austin, that I was meeting someone for the first time. No idea what he looked like, age, like literally nothing. So I told him the whole back story. And Austin assured me that he had my back, that he was committed, if something went off kilter, that I would give him a look and he would understand the assignment. I think Austin even stayed a little past his shift to make sure I was good. And I just want to shout out to Austin on Thursday afternoon working the bar. First of all, you're a Saint. Thank you. I appreciate you. And secondly, you made one of the best mojito's I've ever had. But seriously, Austin, thank you so much!! I also ordered chips and queso. Which was fabulous. I wish the chips were a little thicker, the queso is thick and rich and the chip breaks when scooping it up. But overall, fantastic. If you haven't been to Haywire, please book mark it. Food is great. Drinks are great. Service has been outstanding, and it's just country chic inside with the crystal chandeliers. So how did this meet up go? It was good. We laughed and had drinks.

    Cobb salad with beef tallow French fries
    Felipe W.

    I got the cobb salad with beef tallow fries. Salads great as usual and could taste the beef tallow with the first half then I couldn't taste it Staff are friendly as always and the vibes vary - tent ok roof, dark inside, balcony. Lost track of how many times I've been here, ha.

    Love the vibe here. The decor is very charming and pretty. Service was great. King and Bonnie were our servers and they were amazing and attentive while also making solid recommendations. We had the chicken fried chicken and everything was perfect. We also shared the cornbread and that's not to be missed. Can't wait to come back and try more things.

    Ranch Hand Breskfast

    My family and I went here today from Easter brunch. I will say we made a reservation and was taken care of as soon as we came in, however we were there about 40 to 45 minutes before our food was on the table. The food was good but room temperature and not really even warm. My daughter got a burger and the bun was soggy when it arrived. Makes you think it had been ready for a little while. The food still tasted good, but not its best and not anything like it has been in the couple of other times we came. I had the Ranch Hand Breakfast. Good but not great! The astetics are still amazing, however so are sunsets on the lake. Im not so sure when I'll come back. The first time I was here, it was much busier and the service was faster and a lot better.

    Ribeye
    Karen C.

    Came for a birthday dinner. Got 5 star treatment from our amazing server Whitney! Ask for Whitney when you go. She's top notch. Walking in is a wonderful experience. The chandeliers on the first floor set the tone. We dined upstairs. It's much darker tones still elegant also. Haywire was great in accommodations for dietary restrictions, thank you! So we had the chicken, ribeye and chicken fried steak. The chicken was so moist and wonderfully seasoned and cooked. The fries were not too hard or too greasy, just right. The chicken fried steak was thick and tender. It had breading but the breading did not take over the entree. The mashed potatoes so nice and fluffy. The ribeye was perfectly cooked at medium rare and the asparagus was the perfect size. Our table was brought a wonderful croissant bread pudding! A treat for the taste buds! Again, I cannot say enough for Whitney. The ONLY complaint I have is there no sound buffering items on the walls or rugs. We truly had a hard time hearing each other and fully enjoy the birthday. Several times Whitney had to repeat herself, because it was so loud. She was very kind about it. If dining upstairs I would not recommend for a romantic date night. It was disappointing not being able to really have a family talk, we were only a table of 4. Other than that, it was great.

Located off Anderson Mill in the corner of a strip mall is a bookshelf with a door on the right side. If you cannot figure out the entrance, there is a doorbell to ring as well. I believe it is owned by the same people who own The Mill bar right next door, which makes it feel like a cool bonus space. My friend and I sat next to a faux fireplace, where we were greeted by the only bartender working and placed our order. Once he opened the tab, it was disappointing that he never came back to check if we wanted another drink. It wasn't super busy on the Monday we went, but since he was the only one manning the bar, the bartender was always doing something, so I don't blame him fully for not checking back in with us. I ordered a drink called the Velvet Vice. It looked nothing like the picture and tasted similar to an Aviation cocktail with egg whites. I happened to really like it. It is a very relaxed space, but once the speakeasy gimmick wears off, it does not have much else going for it. It is still a cool place, but I am not sure it was worth the lengthy drive to get there.

Drinks are expensive and served in what feels like miniature target brand, low-quality glasses, which makes the value proposition hard to justify the steep $14 price. The atmosphere is where it really falls apart. The space is set up like a bright, casual brunch hall rather than a cocktail bar--harsh, bright lighting, uncomfortable wooden chairs, and basic wooden square tables that don't align with the concept AT ALL. There's no food offering, yet the environment feels designed for daytime dining rather than an evening bar experience. From a design and hospitality standpoint, it's difficult to understand how this made it to opening in its current state. Even a VERY basic understanding of lighting and ambiance would suggest this setup is fundamentally mismatched--ESPECIALLY for something like a date night. If you're looking for a comfortable or intimate setting, this is NOT it. You'd honestly have a better experience sitting outside a gas station with a 6-pack of Coors Light.

For reasons that make no sense to any experienced summer festival-goer, the Q2 powers-that-be decided to make this a "no re-entry" event, meaning that attendees are basically locked in the stadium with very few options for relief from the heat. Thank heaven for PointsBet Sports Bar! PointsBet Austin is located inside of Q2 stadium on the north end near the Zebra Gate, up some stairs just to your right as you enter the gate. They have cold air-conditioning, at least one phone recharging station, a few table games, seating for at least 50 people, and standing room for a couple hundred others. Plus, there's a huge horseshoe bar serving plenty of canned and mixed beverages. The whole north wall is floor-to-ceiling windows, providing plenty of natural light. Lastly, there are 18 flatscreens around the walls showing various sporting events and during our concert, a couple were streaming a live view of the concert stage. As expected, prices were "high" (like everything else in Austin these days), but they were in line with pricing available at the other beverage stands outside in the stadium, so we didn't pay any more than we would have out there for the same drink. According to their website, PointsBet opens 3 hours before soccer matches on regular Q2 game days, and it's one of the few air-conditioned places where non-VIP attendees can get a break from the goings-on outside.
