Fancy spot! You wouldn't mind if I review it, would you? Eating out in Dallas can get really expensive, 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. read more

Found this restaurant here on Yelp as we were looking for something close to American Airlines to get a good meal. Loved everything about our waiter Kev. Knowledgeable about the menu & great recommendations. Kev was a joy to have as our server. The food is amazing & love the ambiance of the restaurant. My only complaint...we came in early Saturday prior to Stars game. The restaurant wasn't busy at all. We were asked if we had a reservation. We did not, the restaurant wasn't busy at all. We were asked to wait. Waited maybe 5-10mins. No biggie, A lot of open tables were available for immediate sit down. Again that wasn't a big deal. I had asked for a booth & wanted to sit in front room. The hostess said no a problem. She handed us off to a younger hostess and she took us to a table. I told her I had requested a booth. In the front room only 3 tables were occupied. I pointed out the booth and she said that's for party of 6. However, we could have the 1/2 table/booth. Made absolutely no sense because that was for a party of 6 as well. I made this comment & she just stared at me without saying a word. I didn't want to seem difficult and took the table as she just walked away. Kev was confused as we were. No good communication skills. It was an awkward encounter. The restaurant wasn't busy at all & never was whole time there. Kev wasn't sure why she didn't move us a requested & was puzzled himself. However i apologized to him & explained I wasn't trying to be difficult, but prefer booth sitting and most times we will wait for one. We left at 1:45p and restaurant was no busier than when we arrived. Reservation/Booth or not! I guess saying all of this, your front staff need to have more people skills when dealing with your customers. They are the face and first point of contact. Again Kev was amazing & food was outstanding! read more

We called ahead to confirm if our party of 8 could be accommodated and were told it wouldn't be a problem. Unfortunately, when we arrived 10 minutes later, we were told they couldn't seat us even though the restaurant appeared nearly empty at the time. It was disappointing because we had specifically called in advance to avoid exactly that situation. Clear communication about availability would have saved everyone time and frustration. The space itself looked beautiful and the menu sounded great, which is why we chose to try Haywire in the first place. I hope the team can improve how large-party inquiries are handled so future guests have a smoother experience. read more

UPDATE: Came on a Tuesday evening and sat at the bar. I will say it was busy but I was disappointed in how long it took to get my food. The bartender Myles, had to check twice. Also two men sat next to me about 10 minutes after I ordered and they only ordered the tacos but those came out in less than 5 minutes while I had already been waiting like 25 mins for my food. I ordered the $30 women's month special which consisted of a 5oz steak, Caesar salad, fries and l did a lemon drop martini versus the dry martini. In looking at the glasses other people's martinis came in, I feel like I received a smaller glass for. I drink - it wasn't in the typical martini glass. And no they didn't run out of glasses nor was it specific to this meal because other ladies at the bar who had the same meal, had a martini glass. Overall this was a 5/10 for me. Steak was salty and lukewarm, fries were cold and I wasn't a fan of the salad. I think it was the Caesar dressing na famine the lettuce. But the ranch and barbecue sauce were good. I'd still come back try something else on their menu. read more

Hey! I didn't know this was a sister restaurant to The Ranch so if you have been there it's practically the same thing. I had been wanting to go here forever and finally did I thought it would be a new experience or different but it wasn't it's the same food as The Ranch but both places are fire regardless. I loved the location and decor feels nice. The food and drinks were amazing. My friends steak was too rare for my liking but they are it anyways I would have returned it so I'm glad I got the chicken fried steak you can't go wrong with that. I totally recommend and would come back. read more

I love Haywire! Always so fun to go with a group of friends. I always dream about their fried green tomatoes. This time I got the cheeseburger and it was very good. Their French fry sides are like no other as well and the servers are always so fun and excellent. You definitely can get a better steak elsewhere but they are certainly good still and I appreciate that things like appetizers are reasonably priced here! read more

Despite having a reservation, my group still had to wait 15 to 20 minutes just to be seated. The service was just okay, nothing terrible, but it didn't exactly make up for the initial wait. However, the real disappointment was the food. Most of our entrees were over-seasoned (specifically very salty) and felt quite underwhelming for the price point. On the bright side, the drinks were well-made and definitely the highlight of the day. Thy also had fantastic salads; it was the best thing we ate. read more

Haywire - VAQUERO SHRIMP - New American Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Stopped by for lunch and enjoyed my experience! We were sat in the "covered patio" side of the restaurant which I loved. It was so warm and cozy. Our server Jen was great! The most memorable thing about our lunch was the choice of unique flavors for every menu item. From the broccolini and green beans to the creamy corn, to the chicken fried steak. Everything had its own original flavor. I can't say there's anywhere else restaurant wise I could compare the flavors here to. I think my food was slightly lacking in salt but for most things on the table I was able to add that myself. I was just hoping for more saltiness in the chicken fried steak batter. Overall I enjoyed the vibe and food here I'll definitely be returning. read more

Came here for the cowgirl dinner with a group of ladies and our waitress was wonderful. The steak was great, the fries were omg.

Some of the best bbq food I've ever had!! Baby back ribs were so lean and flavorful and sauce was spiced just right and not too sweet. I will dream about those ribs!! broccolini and tomato side was garden fresh perfection. Corn muffin was toasty and perfectly sweet and buttery. And the apps we shared were amazing! Fried green tomatoes with this cilantro crema were delicious, as well as the elk tacos and onion rings. We all loved our food!! Breakfast potatoes and fries were seasoned and so flavorful. 10/10 you must go!! read more

The fish was great. The flavor and texture was definitely immaculate. The shrimp was cooked well. Not tough or chewy. Flavored similarly to the fish. The rice was different. My first time eating Chimichurri rice was decent. The texture of the rice was good. The decor in the restaurant is very rustic but elegant. We came in with a large party but the service was decently fast. Attentive and prompt. read more

This place did not disappoint! My family and I had an incredible brunch at Haywire. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was vibrant and rustic with a great aesthetic appeal- setting the perfect mood for a short weekend in Dallas. Our server was a gem- super attentive, offering fantastic recommendations, and keeping our cocktails flowing without us even asking. The real standout, though, was the delicious food- The portions were generous, the prices were reasonable for the quality, and every dish was a hit. We're already planning our next visit! Highly recommend this brunch spot! read more

Visiting Dallas and went with a group. I ordered the Chef's "Favorite 4" queso blanco, branding iron onion rings, mini elk tacos, fried green tomatoes. The queso blanco should have came with chips. But nicely presented and tasty with huge onion rings. House salad was also huge and the greens were fresh. Couldn't resist the Whiskey Bread Pudding so no entree for me. Busy Thursday evening but we had reservations and the service was efficient. read more

Hey now! Hey nowww! What a cute rustic, place that's for everyone. I love how everyone is dressed up and wearing cowboy hats! I think that's so neat! For this outing I sat at the bar with bartender Paul to enjoy my food, I ordered the barbacoa stroganoff with everything on the side. Now while this dish was good, it did have a tang to it, weird but It did work. I had the Texas mule minus the jalapeño. The manger tuner was delivering food and cleaning tables. They do have underground parking which is validated just ask. I parked in the wrong lot unfortunately. Valet is also provided and is 7 dollars. Overall I'd be back to try more of the food. read more

Vibe Check: Realized I'd been here before (2 years ago!) upon an unplanned return. Drinks: The Hibiscus Haze (non-alcoholic) was absolutely amazing! Food: Had the Ribeye (medium rare) with garlic butter and charred broccolini. Honestly, the steak was very average and quite disappointing; I've had much better. Service: Sat at the bar and the service was fantastic! Short story: Excellent drinks and stellar bar service, but the highly anticipated ribeye was unfortunately underwhelming. read more

I came here to celebrate a friend's birthday. We made reservations for 2pm, upon arrival they told us that they only had outdoor seating, because our table wasn't ready yet. I let them know we would wait for a table inside. We waited 45 mins to get seated, which is ridiculous for having had reservations for standard seating. We ordered several things Mimosa Flight, Fried Green Tomatoes, Crab Dip, and The Cowgirl Dinner. Everything tasted really good and fresh. The Cowgirl Dinner which is their special stood out the most. It comes with a 5oz steak, Fries and Caesar Salad. The steak was tender and flavorful and the fries were delicious. The Cowgirl Dinner comes with a Lemon Drop Martini and I have to say, that is one of the best Lemon Drops I have had. Jennifer was our waitress and she was very helpful. Overall Haywire its a beautiful restaurant and very nicely decorated. They have comped parking which is helpful especially in Dallas. However the 45 minute wait was unacceptable. read more

Came here with a party of 4 on a Friday night. We had a reservation at 745, everyone arrived at that time or a little early but we still weren't seated until about 20 minutes after our reservation.

I'd come back for a drink or food in a pinch but wouldn't really seek this place out. read more

Haywire - BARBACOA STROGANOFF - New American Near Me - Dallas, Texas

If you're looking for a great steak house with real TEXAS vibes in Dallas, look no further! Haywire is the perfect spot and we had a great time. We went to celebrate Women's month with their Cowgirl Dinner-- steak, fries, salad & choice of lemon drop or dirty martinis for only $30! Steak was cooked perfectly! Fries were delicious and crispy. Salad was okay... drinks were exceptional & STRONG (we tried their Bluebonnet 75, espresso martini, a spicy jalapeño something, the mimosa flight & the drinks that came with the special). We also got their lump crab dip and fried green tomatoes, both were so so good! Our waitress was great and attentive. I deducted a star because even with reservations we still had to wait a good while for our table-- the place was SUPER busy and packed for a Sunday-- but I added it back in because of the convenience of parking and the elevator bringing you right into the restaurant. TIP: don't scan and pay in the garage, remember your license plate and scan in the restaurant for free parking during your time there. 10/10 recommend read more

This place has 3 floors! First floor is the whiskey bar, second floor is the restaurant area and third floor is the wine bar. This location is much larger than the other spot in Dallas The fried tomatoes were quite nice! Simple and not too heavy with the contrasting textures. Would get again! The beef stroganoff was new on the menu, the flavors were balanced with the fat and the spices. Would get again! They gave me a birthday cake that was a bread pudding and croissant hybrid, which was spectacular! Would come back! read more

Haywire was such a blessing of a dinner spot for me and my sisters in Christ tonight! We had a reservation for 6:45 and arrived at 6:50--no long wait at all, which was perfect since we were rolling 12 deep. Valet parking was super convenient and only $7, which covered our cars all the way until closing (a huge plus since we lingered over conversation after dinner). Our server Juan deserves a special shoutout! He was patient, engaging, and always checked in with a smile to make sure our table was taken care of. With a large group, service can sometimes slip, but he kept the energy flowing and the refills coming--truly top notch. I went with a glass of Riesling (solid, crisp, just as expected), while many of my sisters enjoyed the mocktails, which were a big hit. We ordered a variety of appetizers and entrées, and not one plate disappointed. Highlights included: * Pork belly, tacos, Caesar salad, and steak salad to start (all beautifully prepared) * Entrées like the pork chop, farm redfish, petite filet with grilled shrimp + garlic butter, ribs, and the brussels sprouts (yes, even the veggies were star players) Everything was delicious, cooked to perfection, and presented beautifully. The ambiance leans date-night chic with dim, romantic lighting, but it was also fitting for our joyful celebration of my sister-friend Precious's birthday . Overall, I'd give this experience a strong 9/10--excellent food, impeccable service, and an atmosphere that made our night feel special. Honestly, I'd love to come back for another occasion (or just a night out) and continue exploring the menu. Haywire definitely left an impression, and I'd happily accept another invite to dine here again. read more

Haywire was a great surprise. It was our first time at this restaurant. The place was very nice and warm feeling inside. The hostess greeted us at the door. We were taken to our table immediately. The waiter was very nice and brought our drinks and ask if we had any question. Sorry forgot pictures but we had the blueberry biscuits for appetizer and was great start. Four of us ordered Wife got gravy and biscuits , son got chicken , his roommate as well. I ordered steak and eggs and when we got our food it was delivered with a waiter and was very nice. FOOD was great!! Thank you for a great Sunday afternoon brunch. read more

Haywire provided a phenomenal visit from start to finish. There is a parking garage and they validate parking so that's always a win. The inside of the restaurant is well decorated in a western chic kind of vibe with a variety of seating options. The host, server and other staff were all friendly and helpful. I came for brunch around noon on a Saturday and it wasn't packed at all. Haywire has one of the best espresso martinis I've ever had. Absolutely top 3. The cold brew they use has a lot of flavor on its own and I appreciate they did not use any kahlua. My friend and I shared the lemon blueberry biscuits as an appetizer.. such a great balance of sweet and tart. I chose the barbacoa chilaquiles. My only complaint would be the amount of fat on the meat made some of the bites unpleasant. Still had great flavor. My friend chose the pastrami hash with the duck egg. Man oh man was i jealous of her dish. Luckily she shared because that dish was an explosion of flavor and richness in every bite. I do plan to come back and try dinner! read more

Brought my granddaughter her for the first time. My granddaughter said this is my first time here and the worst I've experienced. We had to send back our blueberry biscuits three times because they were cold. On the third time we couldn't even pull them apart. My food came out, I was trying to be polite. But I had to send back the sautéd green beans and mac and cheese both were cold. Tried my ribs and cornbread. My ribs were cold and tangy like they were cooked yesterday. The only thing they did get right was the cornbread because it was tasty. I wouldn't even give them a star for this dinner. The server was dynamic. Will went above and beyond to make things right. The people sitting at the table beside us got up and walked out. read more

Disappointed with our recent visit to Haywire. We had a party of 10 and the service was simply not there. My cheeseburger came out cold, and my brother's fish was completely bland. He asked for salt and pepper multiple times and didn't receive it until after dessert was served. His salad also arrived without any dressing. The restaurant was not busy, so there was no excuse for the lack of attentiveness. Our servers showed no sense of urgency throughout the entire meal. For a restaurant of Haywire's reputation, this was a major letdown. Hopefully just an off-day, but hard to recommend based on this experience. read more
