Haywire on Gessner was such a fun spot for a birthday dinner! I came with a group of about 10, and it worked really well for a larger dinner without feeling crowded. The decor is beautiful -- a polished Western vibe that feels modern and warm,. There's also an upstairs area that would be great for a more private dinner, with a nice view of the space. Bonus points: they sell candles in their signature scent, and they smelled delightful. The restaurant also seems like a great option for larger events. There was actually a wedding reception happening the night we went. Parking was easy too, with an attached garage and valet available. I completely forgot to take pictures, but the food and drinks were good. Definitely a place I'd visit again! read more

Came here for the first time a couple of weeks ago for lunch. I loved the ambiance. Kind of like a rustic chic. The service was very attentive. Food (pics attached) - we started with the Vaquero shrimp. It's fried, dipped in an ancho hot honey sauce and served with a side of BBQ lime aioli. Very tasty and highly recommend. - For my main, I selected the chicken club and substituted the aioli with bbq sauce on the side. Just okay. I'll try something else next time. However, the fries are fried in beef tallow and were excellent. - my friends got the chicken Cobb and the Western Burger. They both enjoyed their meal. Great hang. I'll be back. read more

We love this place! Have eaten here several times, enjoying the ribs, meatloaf, venison chili, corn bread and wedge salad. It's such an elegant aesthetic too...dress pretty! read more

Tried Haywire and I'd give it about 3 stars. The atmosphere was nice and the service was decent, but the food itself was just okay. It lacked seasoning and didn't really stand out flavor-wise. Not terrible, but definitely expected more based on the hype. read more

If you're looking for a place that feels like Texas turned the charm all the way up, Haywire is your place! From the moment you walk in, the rustic-modern atmosphere sets the tone - warm lighting, beautiful wood finishes, and that upscale ranch vibe that somehow manages to feel stylish and comfortable. I total complete transformation from the Vallone's restaurant that was here before. Looking at the menu is an eyesore. The food is just as impressive as the setting. Every dish tastes thoughtfully prepared and packed with flavor. The menu does an incredible job of highlighting classic Texas comfort food but elevating it with high-quality ingredients and creative touches. Elk tacos?! I've never heard of that but I'm intrigued! What really drove me to come to Haywire was their popular Cowgirl Dinner they have featured for the month of March. You get 5oz of steak prepared to your liking, crispy tallow fries, Caesar salad AND a dirty martini or lemon drop martini to wash it down all for $30! A price you cannot beat. Service was another standout. Sebastian was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely friendly without being overbearing - exactly what you hope for when you're settling in for a great meal. Between the fantastic food, inviting atmosphere, and top-notch service, Haywire is the kind of place that feels perfect for everything from a fun night out to a special occasion. If you want a restaurant that celebrates Texas flavor with a little extra polish, this spot is a must-visit! read more

This restaurant had been on my list for a while, but I finally made it there one weekend during Rodeo season. I didn't make reservations and decided to just walk in. It turns out the Yelp reviews were fairly accurate as the service was lacking and the food wasn't the best. The host indicated all reservations were full and there were no walk-ins available, so my only choice was to try and find a seat at the bar. After looking at both bar areas (upstairs and down), that was useless and proved to be the entire evening as no one ever got up! My next best bet was their lounge area. Over there, I could view patrons coming in and going to the host/hostess stand then waiting on seats, so it seemed like they were allowing some parties after me to get on a waiting list. It made no sense since many tables upstairs were actually empty. I grabbed a menu at the host stand, sat in a 2 top in the lounge area, decided on the elk tacos, a filet, and blackened snapper. Then went over to the bar and ordered with the bartender. It seems like this restaurant's whole business model is a little off. The bartender came back about 10 mins later with the drinks and 2 small glasses of water half-way filled, while other tables received whole pitchers of water. First dish to arrive was the elk tacos, they say mini but these are basically a regular-sized taco and there are 3 to an order. They're very good but just seemed to be missing something, maybe lettuce or hot sauce? The elk is very mild, zero gaminess, and almost tasted like ground beef. The next dish to come out was the filet cooked to order. This ended up being very tender and probably a choice cut. It came with brussel sprouts which were ok, but not prepared in away I'm used to. They were mushy, with feta cheese and red jalapeños. The last dish was the snapper. With the first bite, I could tell there was something off as the fish was not fresh. I had the waiter replace this with the blackened catfish and shrimp, which turned out to be very tasty; however, the whole ordeal was just a hassle. Parking was free and easy in the garage, which was nice and turned out to be a great spot since the sky fell out right after I found my seat in the lounge. read more

So glad I came, loved this experience. From the decor to the seating, the aesthetic was luxury western. The food superseded my expectations. I originally came for Cowgirl Dinner but after looking over the menu, I had tk try somwthing else. My server, Kendall was phenomenal and made a birthday celebration very special. I'll definitely be back! read more

I recently came here for a group happy hour and had heard lots of hype surrounding this place. The vibe is very western and reminds me of the Rustic. This was quite timely, as we were coming as part of a Rodeo group! Parking can be limited, as it's valet or self-park in the garage. I decided to self-park and found a spot on level 3. Luckily, the garage has direct access to the restaurant so it wasn't a far walk. The restaurant itself is massive with 2 stories and expansive seating on each floor. There are a lot of rooms for events and parties as well as a large patio on both floors. Our group had a large table on the 2nd story patio which gave us a nice view looking towards Memorial City. It was a breezy night, however they brought over an outdoor heater to our table keep us warm. Happy hour is Monday-Friday from 2-6pm and includes $7 select cocktails, wine, and beer, and $7 chips & queso, elk tacos, and sliders. I started out with a Bourbon Smash cocktail which includes bourbon, berries, lemon, simple syrup, and a mint garnish. This was nice and refreshing and was a bit more berry-forward than I was expecting. I would prefer a little more on the bourbon and a little less on the berry. I also got the happy hour red wine which was a red blend and really liked this one! For food, I got the sliders. I think these are exclusive to happy hour but are essentially 2 x mini cheeseburgers from their menu. These were very good - the patty was smash-like and was topped with cheese and sautéed onions. Would definitely order again! I also tried one of my friend's elk tacos, which were actually delicious. I hadn't had elk before but it did not taste gamey at all and the taco seasoning used on the meat was very tasty. My only (minor) complaint was the service. Our servers were also the two bartenders on the 2nd floor, so if the bar was busy, we didn't see our servers for a while. Also, one of the food orders in our group got mixed up: instead of a chips & queso, an elk taco plate was brought out. It took a while to get this remedied due to not having dedicated servers. I look forward to coming back here and trying the chicken fried steak! It's of my favorite foods and I heard they do it great here. They also have a variety of Old Fashioneds, so I look forward to trying those with my CFS! Also given the expansive layout, I now have ideas for my next birthday party! read more

Obviously us girls had to try the Cowgirl Dinner (only in the month of March), $30 for a Caesar Salad, Beef Tallow Fries, Steak and a Lemon Drop or Dirty Martini! We also ordered wine off the Happy Hour $6 a glass and some Brussel sprouts because why not! Our waiter was quick and attentive. The ambiance of Haywire leans more western/country but also modern and cute! We love Haywire and probably come once a month! Everything on the menu is good! They have one of the best steak salads. read more

1,000% you should try this place! First of all Christmas there is country magic! I love how country it is and warm-cozy it is. The decor & ambience were a big part of why we chose that for my family bday dinner. The food & drinks did not disappoint either! We order the appetizer sampler: onion rings, friend green tomatoes, queso, and THE BEST tacos I have ever tasted! (Elk so super lean, not greasy but oh so flavorful!) My son ended up ordering the tacos on the kids menu after tasting them and ate every bite! The Fried green tomatoes & onions were perfectly battered & tasted delicious. I went with the steak topped with lump crab and mashed potato side. My husband got the chicken fried steak which I stole a bite of and OMG best one I've had since Dirty's closed down. Def want to return! read more

My friend invited me here for a birthday lunch on Monday around 1 pm for a group of 4. There is a parking lot and garage. It was busy and I did have to circle around given to find a spot the lot but they do offer valet as well. I was first to arrive but there wasn't anyone to greet me for about 5 minutes despite seeing a couple employees so I felt little awkward sitting and waiting. I did admire the beautiful downstairs sitting area and massive bar. The Christmas decor made it feel cozy. Once the remaining party arrived, we were led upstairs which was just as beautiful with the multiple chandeliers, bar and nice view of Memorial area. The server was nice overall but had a flat affect so it didn't feel as welcoming despite celebrating a birthday. I ordered the steak salad medium rare with a side of in house cornbread and it was so fresh and delicious! The meat was tender and cooked as specified. I had to leave early and ordered the highly raved bread pudding to go. I wish the server warned me there was ice cream because it completely melted into soup by the time I got home. The bread pudding was still good but very dense than what I'm used to. Overall, we did enjoy our food but wished we had a more welcoming customer experience. read more

I went to Haywire with friends last year and had the most amazingly tender BBQ ribs. They were so fantastic. Last night however, we went back and I was so excited to get the ribs again. They were terribly over cooked, hard a chew. Not fall off the bone as before. I was so sad. I only ate half and brought home the left overs for lunch today. I just ate them and was reminded at how terrible they were. Not sure what happened. We had a fantastic waiter though! Beautiful restaurant. read more

We went here for Mother's Day Brunch Buffet and it was not good at all. I was looking forward to the cold shrimp and smoked salmon. The shrimp was so overcooked and rubbery. The salmon was, well I have no idea how to describe it but it was different and not in a good way. I went to try the prime rib and it was very tasty. I looked at the buffet where they fish, chicken, vegetables, etc were and 3/4 of the pans were empty and the serving area a mess. This was just not a good experience at all. I know many restaurants are overwhelmed on Mother's Day so I am taking that into consideration, but if you are going to put on a show, do it with excellence. Clean the space. Fill the trays. Keep the food warm. read more

This place is super cool and so laid back. The balcony bar is inviting and the TVs make watching afternoon college football easy to do. My husband really wanted a steak so we stopped in and grabbed one. I just wanted a great salad and landed on the cobb. He devour his steak and claimed it was perfectly cooked and well seasoned. He loves a good side salad and this one might be one of his all time faves. My Cobb was delish... and HUGE. I didn't finish it and he had the leftovers for dinner. We live about an hour away, but will definitely return to try more items. read more

I had such high expectations for Haywire after a great first visit, but this experience was truly unacceptable. Weeks prior, I made reservations for a party of 10 for a family birthday dinner. Realizing I needed to add 2 additional guests, I called 48 hours in advance to request the additional seating. I was repeatedly told no, by both staff and the manager. They said it would be too difficult for them to add 2 extra seats to my table because they were booked solid. We even arrived an hour earlier than our reservation time to request in person, but was told no again and warned that extra guests could be turned away as they were not taking any more reservations or walk-ins. We witnessed walk-ins being seated, by the way. This back-and-forth pressured me to uninvite two close friends, who were already in route, in order to avoid putting my guests in an awkward, embarrassing and confusing situation. Then, right before seating, they suddenly said they could accommodate the 2 extra seats after all that stress! It was too late for my friends as they were already headed home. As an apology, I felt compelled to purchase dinner for my friends; still patronizing a business that did not see my business as valuable. Silly me. Meanwhile, there were visibly several empty tables in our section the entire time. Our server, Gabriel, was great. He was attentive, personable and consistent. He more than deserved the additional tip I provided on top of the obligatory 20%. However, the reservation experience was poorly handled and unnecessarily stressful. To make matters worse, I was also charged the 20% gratuity on the to-go orders for my guests I had to turn away because they would not separate these orders from the table bill. Go figure. In a city like Houston where the food scene is competitive, diverse, and constantly evolving, ambiance alone isn't enough. You can have all the fancy chandeliers, ultra-chic aesthetics, and hype, but if the guest experience is mishandled, that's what people remember. This is what makes or break a business. Overall, I was left feeling disappointed and frustrated and I will remember this, always. read more

The last time I was at Haywire I dined on the first floor. The first floor was full, so I was directed upstairs. The place is so much larger than I imagined. Haywire is all things elegant and sophisticated. There is a canapy of chandeliers that creates drama in the room. Upstairs for your dining pleasure you can choose the main dining room, private rooms and indoor and outdoor bar eating. I choose a chicken cobb salad and a glass of Prosecco. Omg the cob was so freshly made where each ingredient was distinctive. My grilled chicken was actually grilled not microwaved. My bacon was crispy without any fatiness. The tomatoes were sweet like cherries and juicy. Before I made my healthy choice, I had a nail biting decision, baby back ribs, double cheeseburger or meatloaf. You can choose from waygu steaks to roasted chicken and many other items in between. I sat at the inside bar and was served by Daniel (a master mixologist), Brad and Essence. I felt the service love! Another great dining experience at Hauwote... read more

This place is so unique. Right here in the middle of memorial city. Great place to host corporate events, birthday parties or just have a great time with family and friends. My plan was to book my birthday here last year but unfortunately other things happen and I was unable to. But they were so helpful and helping me set up and book the reservation as well as continuous communication to assist me. The menu is broad, the drinks are great and the service is phenomenal. I truly highly recommend. read more

Friendly, courteous top notch valet opened both doors arriving/departing, $5 Valet and efficient valet app. Greeted upon entry at Hostess Stand, acknowledged Open Table reservation, immediately directed upstairs via stairs or elevator including the name of my waiter serving my table upstairs. 5/5 Isaiah, courteous and personable waiter 5/5, picked his brain of his menu favorites. It's always a plus to learn of the staff and guests menu highlights. Full Bars on both floors, private dining, high top tables, smaller tables to accommodate any party size. The noise was very loud in the full medium sized 2nd floor was noisy due to at least 3 company parties, and TVs along the wall. Tons of chandeliers, great ambiance and soft music playing, waitstaff bustling about the restaurant. 5/5 Great food selections, reasonably priced, and portioned. Ordered the appetizer board- fried onion rings, fried green tomatoes, queso, elk tacos, redfish(smaller cut) shrimp sauce, mashed potatoes, salad, pork chop (looks and tastes identical to Perry's Famous Pork chop), Mac and cheese, stroganoff, and chile chocolate cake. 5/5 I will return! read more

1. Service - excellent customer service regarding hosts and waiters. People were friendly and attentive. 2. Price - $20-$60 an entree depending on your selection. 3. Ambiance - this place is beautiful, the feel is very Texas, Leather couches, stools, chairs, and Lone stars. I love the decor. Dress code here is street smart. Don't dress too casual. It's a special occasion. 4. Food - I had their PETIT FILET (6oz) with FRIES. I was here for my Dad's birthday. We all had different dishes, but the consensus from everyone in our party is that they were heavy handed on the salt. I've been to their other location in Dallas and the food was so much better. I think it's something they can easily tweak, but way too salty to our liking. Hopefully it's something they can improve on. 5. Cleanliness - dining area and restrooms are super clean. They keep this place in tip top shape as far as cleanliness. One complaint though, they had a water leak from their AC system. It was dropping on us while we were on the couch in the waiting area. Something to fix! SUMMARY - Service, Ambiance, and Cleanliness are outstanding here, but with the food being too salty, it can be a disappointment in the experience. I may come back one day to give them another chance, but not anytime soon. read more

Went with my family for a birthday. It was a weekday with reservations at 6:15. Parking was easy in the garage, and the place was beautiful inside. I loved the ambiance, lighting, and seating. The waiting area and bar were very relaxed and giving good vibes. Our waiter was very nice and got us started right away. The food was ok but not my favorite. My favorites were the appetizers. The crab dip was delicious and the onion rings were so good! Our waiter split two house salads for the table, loved the herb goat cheese! He was awesome! Great service! We had the ribeye with Mac and cheese (ribeye was cooked well and had good flavor, the mac and cheese was delish but I wish it came with one other side, I've never heard a steak come with just one side), the two burgers with tallow fries ( the fries were the highlight), the chicken fried chicken with the whipped potatoes, green beans and asparagus. (Chicken fried chicken was meh, looked flat, but I heard their asparagus was the best out of anywhere else) Prices were decent and not as expensive as I'd thought they would be. Overall there were no complaints. The food tasted good, and we had a good time. Would I be back....maybe if I'm invited, but I wouldn't initiate the place. read more

Came with a group on Sunday for brunch/lunch for the first time. Great place for large groups, or birthday dinners. Or a boys night out for a whiskey flights or other libations. My friend explained to me while waiting for the other members of our group, that she had visited the franchise in Dallas and really enjoyed the food. Not sure how long they have been in Houston for, but seems newish? First off the decor is like cowboy chic. Definitely more moody with the darker wood elements and deep hues, but in the best way possible. Fancy barnyard vibe. Very Texan or Western style. Kudos to the designer and decorator of the restaurant. It's a very large space and it's hard to pull off cozy and inviting with multi levels and seating areas, but they did. Service- I don't recall our servers name and it wasnt on the receipt, but he was great. We were able to be seated in one of there many dining rooms, there was only 2 other groups in the room. So we nearly had the place to ourselves. But we were always checked in on by the server, which I liked. Food- I had already eaten a pretty heavy breakfast at another spot. So I wanted something light for this lunch for me. Of course I had already gone over the menu prior too, which is my usual habit. I decided on the soup & salad, the price is a great deal for $11.95. I wasn't sure what kind of salad it came with, but the server was kind enough to allow me to choose the cesar salad option if it was possible, and it was, yay for me. The salad was actually more substantial than I thought, which was a win. It was the gem cesar salad and it was very yummy. I was too full to enjoy the spicy tortillia soup, so took that home. When I had it at home, it was really good. I would def get that again. I had a bite of pork belly that was yum. And a bit of the chicken fried chicken as well. All of there entrees are homey American style food. Everyone enjoyed there meal and left full. Could definitely see myself coming back to cozy up by the fire at there outside patio with a hot toddy if feeling spicy, or tea. We explored there upstairs patio which was nice spot to watch a game or hang with friends. Wishing this business well, I think they will have much success here in Houston. read more

Came here on a Sunday with some friends for a brunch, and as always, Haywire doesn't disappoint! Fortunately, I am very happy to be an avid lover of Haywire. I started coming to their Frisco location years ago, so when they opened in Houston, I was ecstatic! The group was not familiar with Haywire, so seeing it through their eyes for the first time was very exciting for me! The ambiance is always top notch here. There is a parking garage you can park in, but I like to valet at the front. As soon as you enter, you're greeted by the hosts and a beautiful bar in the backdrop. The downstairs is great for when you're wanting to hang with friends for just drinks, a very cool vibe, definitely you know you are in TEXAS!!! The second floor, you can head up on the staircase or the via the elevator! When you arrive to the second floor, the entrance is just as beautiful! You feel like you are an in Texas Ranch house, surrounded by beautiful chandeliers, beautiful dining areas. This place is an excellent place for large parties, without a huge wait time! You definitely feel as though you are truly sitting around the dinner table at home. Now for the drinks, I love love love the drinks here, because you can tell that they've curated a very thoughtful menu to represent something that everyone can have. The whiskeys that they have are all served up on Texas imprinted cubes (all in the details). They have a great variety of bourbons, mezcals, tequilas, and non-alc drinks! Everything we tried was amazing! Now for the food. I don't think in all my years of coming to Haywire, that I've ever had anything bad. I love their Elk tacos, great for starters and sharing. This go round, also got to try the pork belly, and wow wow, WOW!! So delicious! Even though I wanted to get brunch, when I saw the chicken fried steak, I just couldn't get my thoughts to go anywhere but there, so CFS is what I got! And again, amazing! Someone's mama taught them how to season food, because everything was so flavorful. The crust on the steak, chef's kiss, the steak itself, super tender, the jalapeno gravy, delish (and not spicy if you're concerned about that, just a very small tint of a lil oof, lol). The mashed potatoes where super yummy and the asparagus, I could've just had several servings of that as a meal in itself! All in all, wonderful experience. I've sat in the bar before, at the hightops, this room was one that was a new area for me to try, and the servers continually came in to check on everyone, fill drinks, take orders, clear the table, and were very communicative. Isaiah was our server, and I think he may have been a little newer, but he did extremely well. Always smiling, always asking if we need anything. Great service!! Will be back. And they also have a great HH!! read more

Great place love the vibe, super country and chic. There is parking in the garage or valet . So reservation was at 9:30. They said the kitchen closed at 9:45 that didn't make any sense to me. I feel like the waiter was trying to rush us a little bit because of that and we were celebrating a birthday. The food on the other hand, the steak was recommended to us, but I've had better steak that was actually moist and when you get a ribeye it's usually Moist. The bread pudding was 10/10 def get it. It's huge so def shareable. read more

Haywire Houston is such a nice spot to hang out. The outdoor seating is perfect for a chill brunch or a happy hour date, especially when there's a breeze. They've got big fans out there too which definitely helps on warmer days. Inside feels a little more upscale and would be great for a date night or dinner with friends. It's cozy but still has that luxury vibe inside. We shared a bunch of dishes and everything was really good. The toast was done perfectly, crispy and warm. One thing I wasn't a fan of was the croutons in the Caesar salad. They were like cornbread and kind of melted in your mouth in a weird way. Just not what I expected. Service was friendly and overall we had a great time. I'd go back for sure. read more

I'll keep it short and sweet, the restaurant ambiance is beautiful and elegant. The service was amazing! Brandon was the best waiter I've ever had at any restaurant. He was very attentive and informative on the restaurant. He gave me some history of the restaurant and made suggestions of the local favorites. The food was beautifully presented and very delicious. The only flaw I encountered there was the valet team. They did not acknowledge the fact of me wanting to valet. The 3 guys were just there playing on their phones and couldn't care less about parking my vehicle. So I end up parking in the garage. But my overall experience was great. Happy Yelping read more

Visited Haywire in Houston this week -- such a beautifully decorated restaurant! The Western theme is done so well -- rustic touches, cozy lighting, and attention to detail that makes you feel like you're stepping into an upscale Texas ranch. The presentation of the food was equally beautiful. Every plate that came out looked Instagram-worthy. I had high hopes, but unfortunately something was a bit...off with the seasoning. The dishes somehow managed to be both salty and bland at the same time -- a confusing combination that left me wishing for a more balanced flavor. The saving grace? The drinks! We tried a couple of their specialty cocktails & mocktails, and they were delicious and well-crafted. Definitely a highlight of the evening. Bonus point for the chocolate cake -- rich and indulgent, a sweet ending to the meal. Overall, it's a gorgeous spot with a great vibe and solid drinks, but I'd love to see the kitchen dial in the flavors to match the stunning presentation. Our waiter was great as well! read more

I absolutely loved my visit here. We wanted to go somewhere close to the rodeo but not too close to handle massive pockets of traffic. This was the perfect spot. We sat at the bar patio side. It's covered but you still get the vibe of being outside which is the best. It has an elevated vibe with the chandeliers, I loved the feel. We ordered espresso martinis and the queso. They both hit the spot and were a great choice to kick off our evening. I'd for sure visit when in town again! read more

My friends and I decided to try Haywire for a girls' night and "cowgirl dinner" after seeing the restaurant online. It looked like a nice upscale place, so we were excited to give it a try. The restaurant itself is very nice--while not extremely upscale, it has a welcoming environment where guests can dress however they feel comfortable. When we arrived for our 8:30 p.m. reservation, we unfortunately were not greeted right away. The host took about 5-7 minutes to acknowledge us as she was upstairs. After about 15 minutes, we were finally taken upstairs to be seated. As we entered the elevator, we were informed that the restaurant had already run out of the "cowgirl dinner," and no one had reached out beforehand to notify us, which was disappointing since that was the main reason for our visit. Once upstairs, we noticed the restaurant had a beautiful rustic-themed ambiance that really fit the concept of the place. We asked our server if substitutions could be made so we could still enjoy the cowgirl dinner, but she was unsure. After about 30 minutes, the manager stepped in and worked something out for us, which we truly appreciated. He was very accommodating and helped both our table and another group of women with a similar issue. The steak and fries were amazing and definitely a highlight of the meal. However, the salad dressing was not our favorite and the lemon drop martini was not the best in our opinion, though everyone's taste may differ. Overall, while the experience had some bumps in the beginning, we appreciated the manager's effort to accommodate us. Because of the beautiful atmosphere and some of the great food, we would like to return during the week to give this restaurant another try. read more

This was my first time coming to Haywire, and I was genuinely impressed by how stunning and stylish the space is. There is dark and moody lighting, setting a cozy and upscale tone. There are two floors. The first floor has comfortable booths and a bar area, and the second floor has plentiful amount of seating. There's also an event room outside the main dining space that looks like it could hold around 100 guests, but I'm not sure on that number. In terms of service, the hostesses were friendly and seated us immediately with a reservation. However, we felt that our server was a tad bit cold with us. I ordered the Western Burger, which I greatly enjoyed. My friends loved the BBQ baby back ribs. The tallow fries and mac and cheese weren't anything special in my opinion. There's complimentary garage and lot parking available. There's also valet available (I believe it was $5 or $10). Overall, I had a decent first experience at Haywire. I was mostly amazed by the beautiful ambiance, and would love to try more of the menu! read more

This is my new favorite restaurant in Houston. From valet to exit, service was great. The decor and ambience were warm and welcoming. There is a huge lounge area with couches and tables. Last night was my first visit, so I have not sampled much of the menu, but what I had was excellent. Onion rings are served on a vertical stake and cooked perfectly. I'm a big connoisseur of Brussels sprouts, and these were among the best I've had anywhere. My entree was the brisket stroganoff, unique and excellent! For dessert, my wife and I split a huge slice of some of the best pecan pie I have had. I look forward to coming back and trying more items from the extensive menu. The prices are quite reasonable for the quality of food and service. I think this would be a great place for a first date or a family celebration. There is also a large party room for private events. Overall a great venue! read more

I had an amazing experience at this place. It was my first time trying the food here and since the beginning my experience was great. There is not much parking but the guys at the valet were very attentive. Then we tried elk tacos for the appetizer and it was delicious. For the entree I chose the ribs and the portion was so big that I had to take some home. The waitress was really kind and gave us good recommendations.

First time experience and although there was a small hiccup, I will not complain. Stacy has the best table service, polite attentive and friendly. The atmosphere was beautiful, relaxing and just made you feel like you in your own world! The Cowgirl Dinner was just the right amount! read more

Haywire has been on my "before 2026 gets here" list, so I finally made it. This Houston location comes with valet parking and self parking garage. I met up with a couple of people for brunch. We had reservations but ended up at the bar, which honestly worked out perfectly. Finding them was a little confusing since I came in on the 2nd floor (this place has 2 entrances depending on where you park), but the staff was quick to make sure I didn't wander around like a lost child at the mall for too long. They have outdoor and indoor seating both on main and 2nd floor. Elevator for easy access and beautiful chandeliers throughout the restaurant. Our bartender; Dominic (pretty sure that was his name) was a gem. Attentive, friendly, and even jumped into our conversation a few times like he was part of the brunch squad; ATP he is! Nothing on the menu really screamed order me, I went with a spiked mojito refresher. ("spiked," because the original was listed as non alcoholic and, well, what's brunch without a little spirit?) Food: there was steaks & eggs, crab cakes Benedict, and wild berry & vanilla French toast with a side of bacon. For once, I stayed loyal to my plate (allergies will do that). The French toast was has just the right amount of sweet but not over the top, with bread that managed to be both crispy and soft. And the bacon? Perfectly cooked with the right amount of thickness. Overall: service was on point, drinks hit the spot, and the food was delicious. Haywire definitely earned its place on the brunch list. read more

Had a reservation and was running late we called to see if they had a grace period or if we needed to cancel. They told us they had a 15 min grace period. We get there and the host didn't even look up to greet us! Had her head down looking at the iPad. Said "are yall ready to be seated" like no after we are 10 mins late we wanna stand and talk to you.. we respond yes.. Still looking down at the iPad she points and says you can take the stairs or elevator someone can help you there. So we walk up the stairs no one is there. So we're just standing around. We had to walk up to someone and ask them where to sit... they sit us in the very corner a sever comes to greet us after almost 10 mins. My friend and i really just wanted to walk out but our server ended up being really nice so we stayed. Food and Drinks were good but i definitely won't be back. read more
