I wanted a true Texas dining experience and this restaurant delivered. The interior made me feel like I was visiting a Texas ranch for dinner. Most of the menu is for a carnivore but there are a few less heavy goodies on the menu. I started with the Mini Elk Tacos. Yes you read that correctly, Elk. Not a common meat choice in my region so had to sample. Meat was flavorful. The taco was all meat no extra veggie fillers. Very good eats. I wasn't really in the mood for a big carnivorous meal so decided on Texas Redfish for my entree. Never tasted Redfish. It was nicely grilled with no odd seasonings. A basic white fish would be my description. It was paired was rice and salad greens. I really enjoyed the entree. It wasn't too heavy but was filling. Service was really good. I ordered and was served my starter within a few minutes. My entree was also timed perfectly to be delivered shortly after finishing the starter. Nicely done with the service. I hate waiting extended periods of time between my courses. Overall this was a win. Good food. Good service. Interesting decor. read more

Food took over 1 hour and then they informed us they ran out of some items we ordered. Good atmosphere, sloppy service.

Our waiter was awesome, we had a group of 12ish late after a workout competition and the waiter was so patient and kind with all of our substitutions and requests! The food was great, pricey but the quality was top notch. The housemade tortillas just gave it the touch it needed. The bread pudding was fantastic.. the chipotle cake, not sure lol I think our friend was trying to order the whiskey one and ordered this by mistake but it wasn't any of our cup of tea lol. The place was decorated so cute for Christmas! read more

A friend and I recently met here for lunch and to catch up. It was our first time dining here, and we both loved it. We've already decided to go back! The atmosphere was casual. The ambiance was quite nice, as was the staff. The music wasn't loud or distracting. The decor was good, and they offer a choice of seating. The patio looked great, but we chose to dine inside. The food didn't disappoint either. It was delicious actually!! Haywire is a scratch restaurant, which we didn't know beforehand. The food was absolutely delicious. They have a very nice variety and the cost was reasonable. Based on the location, I was concerned about parking. But we parked in the garage next to the restaurant. So the walk was short, but an elevator takes you right to it. They validated our parking, which was also a very pleasant surprise. If you haven't already, I definitely recommend this one. read more

Went for date night and the experience was awesome. Had a very lovely steak and the chips and queso were to die for!

My husband and I came here for dinner. The server was slow and not really attentive. We ordered two low and slow chicken plates. The chicken was tender but extremely salty. Level 10 salty from 1-10. Almost unbearable to eat it was so salty. Had I not been hungry I would have sent it back. read more

A group of us had a team dinner here at the suggestion of a co worker who lives in Dallas. I'm glad we took his advice. Haywire was phenomenal. Great food, great drinks. Seriously, there wasn't a single thing that we didnt love. Started things off with a chef's platter appetizer that featured, onion rings, fried green tomatoes, elk tacos and a queso dip. Everything on this tray was outstanding. The rings and tomatoes were nice and crispy, great balance of breading and veg. I didn't get to a taco, but those who did raved. For an entree, I got the chicken fried steak with a side of roast corn. Again, this was a nice portion size and the steak didn't get overshadowed by the batter. One thing I really liked was the fact that you could see the corn was cut off the cob and it was fresh not frozen. The show stopper though was the dessert sampler. THe pecan pie with the cinnamon roll crust was life changing. Don't know if I ever want another pecan pie without the cinnamon roll crust again. The bread pudding was terrific as well. I didn't care for the chipotle chocolate cake quite as much, but then again, I'm not a big spicy/ sweet combo fan. Would definitely go back to Haywire next time I'm in Dallas read more

Really good UberEats delivery while at the Hilton Anatole Dallas. I ordered the Chicken Fried Steak and Peacan Pie. The portions are plentiful and extremely flavorful. The entree container is vented to keep your Chicken Fried Steak crispy! The Route 66 pecan pie á la mode is huge! Save 1/2 your dinner for tomorrow so you'll have room for dessert! read more

Evan and Jaylen made sure our first visit here was an excellent one. They both greeted us like we were regulars and took all the steps to make sure we were taken care of and that our cups were full. This place makes for a great venue whether on an intimate date or in a big party. The decor is Texas-cool in keeping with the dishes offered here. From the pics and some recommendation, we started with the "Chef's Favorite," which is a collection of four appetizers: elk tacos, onion rings, queso, and fried green tomatoes. The fave was the elk, but that wasn't an easy decision to reach. I had the biscuit and gravy, while my lady went with the chicken and waffles. Each of our dishes came weighed down with huge portions and we weren't disappointed in the quality, either. My bacon, eggs, and especially the biscuit covered with gravy were all flavorful. I had to force myself to take breaks. We can't wait to come back and experience more great food and top notch service. read more

Such an awesome place. We made reservations so we were seated right away. Upon arriving I was in awe of all the decor. I wanted all the furniture lol. A+ for the interior design! Shadayah (I hope I'm spelling that right) was our lovely server. She was so sweet, very friendly and helpful when it came to recommendations. We ordered the ceviche, the elk tacos for appetizers. Then ordered burgers for the kids, I got the steak salad and my husband ordered the steak. I also got the velvet pear martini and my husband ordered the spicy Texas mule. Everything came out pretty much around the same time. Every dish was so tasty and cooked perfectly. Loved the elk tacos and my steak and salad were so tasty. read more

5 stars all around!!! Had an excellent meal and already can't wait to go back. Ordered and shared the fried green tomatoes and kolaches/queso to start. Then shared chilaquiles and biscuits/gravy as our mains. All of the dishes were incredible!! The queso dip and the sauce on the tomatoes were both sooo good. My only note is that the chilaquiles had so much sauce and could've used some more chips to balance it out but were still tasty regardless. The jalapeno is a nice addition to the biscuits and gravy without overpowering it! Would highly recommend. read more

Let me just start off with the ambience of this place ! Gorgeous decor that is cohesive to each level . I love that it has levels ! This is a place you'll definitely need to call in advance to get a seat , but normally you can find something at the bar upstairs . This is where we sat . The food is immaculate. The double pork chop didn't disappoint and it's huge . They also make a great old fashioned. Top notch ! We ended up getting dessert too. The carrot cake has a ton of layers and it's divine ! Also , the pecan pie with ice cream is heaven ! Perfect for a date night with some intimate areas , and great for just hanging with friends . I'll return again and again! read more

This is a huge restaurant! I attended a work holiday dinner here and had a wonderful experience. Our servers, Perry and Denise, were patient, courteous, and managed our group perfectly. The food was served promptly and tasted great. Favorites included the hibiscus drink (I had two!), the quesadilla, and the bass. Having a separate room allowed us to be loud and really enjoy ourselves. They also validated my parking, which was a nice touch. read more

Haywire was not on the radar and there was a 2 hr. Wait at the original restaurant. We took a shot at a new place and boy did we hit the jackpot. Haywire was amazing in all phases(food, service, and ambiance). The food was amazing and deserts were to die for. The taste of the food was spot on and no complaints from anyone at the table. My daughter said it was the best steak she ever had. I want to thank the staff and our server "Richard" for creating a great experience for our family. We will definitely be back again and bringing others. read more

This place has good drinks and good food. I have been here twice now and the service has been excellent each time. My top recommendation for all lovers of pasta and cheese and chicken fried steak. I hope this place lasts a long time. read more

If you're catching a show at the House of Blues, this spot is about 10 blocks away and offers free parking with restaurant validation (though be warned, in hot weather, those 10 blocks feel more like 10 miles!). Turns out, it's the sister restaurant to The Ranch, which I already love, so expectations were high. Our server, Ridge, was attentive, and the place is beautifully decorated with a massive picture window that lets you peek into the kitchen--always a plus if you're into dinner theater. This is definitely a spot where you could enjoy a cocktail and snack at the bar. Speaking of cocktails, I ordered a "double" martini, but somehow, it still arrived only 2/3 full. Either I'm bad at math, or that martini glass has seen better days. Hubby and I went for the Wagyu chicken fried steak, which comes with mashed potatoes and green beans. It was definitely enough for two people, but the Wagyu part? Let's just say I wasn't convinced. In hindsight, I kinda wish we had just gone with the chicken version. But hey, live and learn! Oh, and my friend ordered the filet, and while I'm not usually a filet kind of gal, I had a bite, and wow--exquisite. So if you're feeling fancy, go for the steak. They apparently DO have the out of this world Chipotle Chocolate cake like at The Ranch, so if you are feeling like desert, do not hesitate, as this might be my favorite chocolate cake I ever had. The bathrooms? Spotless and on brand with the rest of the restaurant--because yes, I'm that person who notices. read more

The steak came out perfectly, and the service overall was excellent. I only wish our server had been a bit more familiar with the wine options, though he seemed pretty new, so it's hard to hold that against him. Overall, still a very positive experience. read more

I started with The Judd smoked tableside and it was excellent, with a great presentation. For dinner, we ordered the wedge salad to share. I had the Double Cut Pork Chop with brussels sprouts and my wife had the Low & Slow Chicken. The salad did not come, we said nothing. The pork chop was absolutely massive with a fantastic crust. It was as tender as a piece of country ham. To be succinct, it was the best pork chop I've ever had. Ever. Our server explained that it was cooked sous vide. Now I want every future pork chop to be cooked sous vide. In contrast, my wife's chicken came out cold, pre-cut in half and had a strange texture. She asked for it to be refired and by the time it came back out I was mostly done eating. She did not like the flavor of the second attempt but we didn't say anything about that, she just didn't eat much of it. Now for the really aggravating parts. The restaurant was very busy and seems to be a pretty upscale place in an upscale area with a great vibe. Then the record screeched to a halt when not one but two different couples at different tables, one after the other, got into huge altercations with screaming matches that went on for a total of nearly 50 minutes. Not only did the restaurant not handle it well, they didn't handle it at all. The staff just sort of awkardly tiptoed around the fighting while the GM let it continue. My wife and I waited it out in our ringside seats, but several other tables of people in the immediate area asked for their checks and left. It was truly absurd. For our anniversary, our server offered to comp us a dessert, so we ordered the Buttermilk Pie. It was good. But to cap it off, when we received the bill, we were charged double for my wife's chicken, and for the salad. My pork chop was just so damn good though. read more

A really pretty room. The place was an absolute madhouse after a hockey match let out (I had no idea - eesh): we got there five minutes before our reservation and were seated fifteen minutes after it. During the interim, we were crowded into a tiny pocket of the bar near the host stand while more and more and MORE people kept packing into the atrium. Eesh. And when we were seated in the (beautifully decorated) dining room, it was crowded (giant baby strollers in between the already crowded together tables) and terribly loud. Think Texas-themed Carnival cruise. We got water right away but it was a bit of a wait before our order got taken, and a bit of a wait for the food (no surprise, the place was a zoo). And our server smiled throughout all of it, calm, gracious and welcoming - Jenifer H., you're a peach. The food was good but not turning-cartwheels-great (to be fair, it was pretty reasonably priced, particularly for such a pretty room): I had the chicken fried steak (tasty jalapeño sausage gravy, for sure) with beans and mashed; my wife had the chipotle meatloaf (generous, but seriously lacking in flavor) with corn and mashed. On request, Jenifer instantly brought us an extra boat of the tasty gravy for my wife's meatloaf at no charge. The place calmed down somewhat after the hockey crowd moved away, but it was still louder and more crowded than I prefer. We had planned on meeting friends for supper but our friends had to cancel due to COVID; it turns out that was a good thing because there was no way Haywire would have suited for a quiet conversation to catch up. Perfectly fine place, but not what we were after. read more

Walked in on a Monday night without a reservation. The restaurant was busy but we were able to be seated immediately. The atmosphere was very clean, hip, southern and sophisticated. Shortly after we were seated, our waitress arrived to talk to us. We took advantage of the happy our to try drinks and apps. They were tasty. Our meals arrived a little while after the appetizers. The menu had menu had many options (various cuts of steak and other Texas staples). The food was flavorful, however, I would have liked it to be a little hotter upon arrival. While finishing our meal, the power suddenly went out. Later we found out it went out on the whole block. In the midst of the power outage, the staff was very friendly, offered us free drinks and still tried to remain attentive as much as they could. read more

Kitchen is so slow. We waited 45 minutes for our appetizer and are still waiting for our meals (another 45 minutes and counting).

Just a damn good meal. Every bit of this place is delicious. Every course hits & I left feeling full & fulfilled. Absolutely my go to spot when I'm in town staying in Uptown. read more

We had our team dinner here and it did not disappoint! I studied yelp prior so I knew I was getting the four board with elk tacos , nachos, onion rings and fried green tomatoes. Elk taco was just as described. You don't even know it's elk. One of the best street tacos I've had. I also had a couple of the nachos with the blanco queso and that was delicious as well. I ordered the 6oz filet medium with whipped potatoes and corn bread. Everything was so good. We had 12 in our party. 6 bottles of wine, 4 chefs boards, 8 steaks, 1 chicken fried steak and one prime rib. I'm pretty sure the massive prime rib won everyone over. The size alone and the meat looked juicy and tasty! Not one complaint from any of us!! The bill? $1200 which I felt was very reasonable with the wine and beers and drinks. I wanted to order the 66 pecan pie dessert but I was stuffed. So was everyone else. Perry was our waiter who was attentive, kind, funny and patient. Thanks for a great dinner. read more

What a great place to wind down with friends! Starting the evening with cocktails in the cozy waiting area near the bar was perfect. The drinks and experience were upscale but not pretentious. The staff was engaging, warm, welcoming, and happy. On to dinner, every bite of the food was perfection, starting off with the appetizers. The app for 4 was delicious, the sauces paired perfectly with the dishes and the elk tacos were a true standout! The burrata was good, but I would not say there was anything super special about it so I would probably pass on ordering it again. The entrees were all perfectly cooked and paired beautifully. I give kuddos to the chef, the steaks were perfectly seasoned and cooked to the exact temperature ordered. The "icing on the cake" was your selection of a compound butter to top the steak. We all selected the garlic butter and it elevated the meal! Lastly, the brussel sprouts were inventive and fantastic, not your average steakhouse brussels and certainly worth a try... Be careful of the red peppers, they can be a bit spicy. Haywire is a must try place in Uptown Dallas! read more

Pros: Service and food were amazing! Our server was prompt and gave great recommendations as well as explained the restaurant concept. We tried the app sampler with had the elk tacos, the onion rings, Queso and fried green tomatoes. All were delicious and a great item to sample multiple apps. We got the red fish and the chicken fried chicken, both delicious. Cons: although we made a reservation, our table was not ready for 30 minutes. Which would've been okay but the restaurant's AC was not working, which made the entire experience a bit uncomfortable. We dined on June 9th, so if you are sensitive to heat, give them a call and ask about their AC, they said It's been broken for 2 weeks, Other than that, it was a great experience! Would return once the AC issue has been sorted out :) read more

I've had Haywire MANY times. In person and just yesterday I ordered it via UberEats. I will 100% tell you my salad was half as big as it usually is, and the quality was subpar. In person everything is simply wonderful! The salads, the ribs, the tacos! All great choices. I would NOT recommend a Togo order. Oh and the homestead cake is exceptional. read more

On my second day in Dallas, one of my co-workers recommended Haywire. I came for lunch after a conference. My waitress recommended I try their 8oz garlic stuffed angus steak $49. Wow, this was terrific. I've never had garlic placed inside a steak before. The closest thing I had previously was at a Korean steakhouse where they put a small foil tray on the side with garlic and butter where you can spread the overcooked garlic as a spread. The chef at Haywire did a good job with searing the outside of the filet with the proper seasoning. Service was excellent. This was one of the best lunches I had in Dallas. No wait on a Friday at around 1pm. read more
