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

Good Haywire never disappoints. The atmosphere is upscale Texas rustic, the food is consistently excellent, and the service is top-tier. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and well presented. Great spot for date night or bringing out-of-town guests. read more

Normal steak. It was decent 7/10. The customer service wasn't well. Unsure if it was because we were young but we received butter knives to cut our steak & once we asked for proper knives we received an attitude from waiter. We never received napkins until we asked for them. Unsure of dinning here again. The dining aesthetic was good for pictures. read more

Haywire - Steak, Macaroni & Green beans - New American Near Me - Houston, Texas

This was technically my third visit to Haywire in Memorial City, but my first time sitting down for a regular meal. I went with the chicken fried steak and made a last-minute call to swap out the green beans for cornbread--easily the best decision I made all day. The chicken fried steak was solid, with a tender cut and a crispy exterior. The jalapeño gravy added a nice kick and tied the dish together. Mashed potatoes were nicely whipped, though a bit mild in flavor, but the gravy helped with that. The real standout? The cornbread. Slightly sweet, moist, and just delicious. It's the kind of side that could steal the show. Of course it didn't make my photo, oops! Overall, a satisfying meal that left me full but not overly stuffed. Looking forward to coming back and exploring more of the menu! read more

Haywire - Chicken fried steak - New American Near Me - Houston, Texas

Great attention to detail in this place! Not only the decor, but the presentation of table settings, the food, the service, and everything in between was great! We had a high top table on the second floor with the most comfortable seats, and a great view of the the surrounding area below. The drinks were flowing and the service was great. I had the hamburger with a wedge salad and fries. Everything was delicious! The bourbon smash is very good. Slightly sweet and crafted very well. Reservations are suggested. They get fairly busy, so reserve your table ahead of time. Valet is available for $5. It's worth it to not have to navigate the parking garage. Our server, Kevin, was great! Will return! read more

I will preface this review by saying it is admittedly harsh (for justifiable reasons). As perfect as Haywire's vibe, service, and cocktails were, one dish made my brunch experience there subpar. We went for a birthday brunch of 12 people. Haywire's rustic, open space with warm-wood and leather Texas aesthetic give it a modern country feel that isn't too kitschy. For the size of our group, service was pretty attentive and kindly accommodated splitting checks and us bringing in a birthday cake with no issue or upcharge. The cocktails were amazing. 10/10. Everyone raved about their drinks. My Front Porch Swing was so good I got it twice, a well done balance of citrusy and sweet. The espresso martini seemed to be a hit as several people ordered them. The blueberry biscuit and queso with pork appetizers were delicious, a perfect match of sweet and tart and smoky savory. The mini kolaches had good flavor but were a overcooked, turning hard once they were tepidly warm. Now here is the rub...If you are a southern themed restaurant in the South and have chicken and waffles on your menu, it should be one of the go-to staples. And in a city like Houston with nationally award winning chicken and waffles, it should be at least good if not great. Haywire's chicken and waffles was bad. Like I didn't finish it bad. The chicken tasted like something from a fast food restaurant or frozen and pre-breaded from a bag. The waffle was hot but already soggy when it came to my table, most likely because it had been pre-poured with syrup--an absolute sin for chicken and waffles. And despite this, I still needed more syrup as the waffle was somehow also dry with a grainy, unpleasant texture. Of the four people who got this dish, none of us were happy. The other ordered entrees seemed to be good. Friends at the table, as well as past reviews from my parents, imply the dinner menu is more solid. As I said, I would be willing to try Haywire for dinner, but I can't say if it will be any time soon. read more

Dim lite romantic atmosphere. We tried the grilled chicken, ribeye, and filet mignon. They were all great! Service was epic.

Trendy spot with upscale western vibes with southern style offerings, across from memorial city mall. Let's start with the food --- overall, not bad! Food gives me upscale chain vibes for a reasonable price. The space -- the main dining area is on the second floor accessible via stairs or elevator. The decor is great! Various seating options are available and more private nooks that offer space for larger parties. Parking - -valet for $5. Might be able to self park around somewhere but probably not worth the risk/hassle. Overall, a trendy, consistent spot that would be great for families, girls night, brunch.... really any time! read more

Ambiance - this place is absolutely stunning. The food was average and I was expecting more. I tried the redfish and my friends had the chicken fried chicken and the pork chop. The redfish was only decent because of the zydeco sauce. Needed more flavor in my opinion. My friend enjoyed their dishes for the most part. No cocktails this time around d but not sure if I would've enjoyed them. I don't mind giving this place a try again but not anytime soon. read more

Some colleagues were in town so we stopped in for a team dinner. Love the location and the ambiance. When you arrive you can either valet for $5 or self park in the garage. The downstairs bar and entrance are very stylish and welcoming. Very Texas rustic chic. Our party sat upstairs near the bar at a high top table. Service was good the waiter Bradley was very attentive to our large party. I originally planned to order the Texas Redfish but they were out of that and the Bass. So I got the blackened catfish shrimp with mashed potatoes and corn. Everything was prepared and seasoned well. The potato were creamy and delicious and that corn was so flavorful. I didn't get the cornbread but one of my coworkers raved about how delectable it is. I didn't have a cocktail this visit but I plan to go back and enjoy the bar and hopefully the Redfish. They also have 3 enticing Mocktail options available. I was full but had I had room I would have ordered the pecan pie dessert. It was truly an enjoyable evening read more

I've been wanting to try Haywire for a while now so when my daughter decided to go there for her birthday I was excited. They have valet parking, which is $5. The ambiance is nice. Downstairs there is a bar area and what appeared to be a lounging area. I believe all the dining room seating is upstairs. The dress code is casual, I wish I would have worn my boots instead of heels. It was a little noisy because of a table across the room but it was manageable. Our server was nice and attentive. The food was just okay. We started with the lump crab dip and mini elk tacos which were a little bland. We then ordered the Bone-In Cowboy Ribeye steak with grilled asparagus and Mac and cheese. It was good but not the best I've ever had. If we go back it'll probably be for happy hour because the drinks are good. read more

*BRUNCH REVIEW* Haywire absolutely nails the Texas ranch-inspired ambiance--it's rustic, cozy, and effortlessly stylish. The upstairs main dining room where we were seated for Sunday brunch had a warm, inviting feel, and the downstairs bar and lounge area looked like an ideal spot for happy hour. Unfortunately, the food didn't quite live up to the setting. We started with the Kolaches & Queso, which sounded amazing on the menu--house-made pretzels stuffed with local jalapeño cheddar sausage, paired with queso blanco. In reality? Just okay. Not bad, but not nearly as flavorful as expected. For my entrée, I went with the Steak & Eggs, featuring wagyu sirloin, roasted potatoes, and eggs. While the steak was cooked to my requested medium, it was incredibly tough--like, you better have some strong teeth tough. I gave up after eating about half. My friend ordered the Barbacoa Chilaquiles, and...Y'ALL. There was no barbacoa. As in, not a single bite of protein on the plate. When we pointed this out, our server was quick to fix it, bringing out a properly made dish, but how does a mistake like that even happen? Service was decent, and I can't stress enough how much I loved the aesthetic of this place. But in a foodie city like Houston, the food itself has to deliver--and this just didn't. I'd come back for drinks in the lounge, but for a meal? I'll be looking elsewhere. read more

We just had my dad's 80th surprise birthday at Haywire in their party barn area. The party barn is private and located right outside of their restaurant. I highly recommend them if you're looking to have a really nice party for 100 people. Everything was perfect for what we needed. Planning went smoothly and they executed it with precision. Their food and drinks are always amazing. There wasn't a dish or side that I didn't like because I liked them all. Highly recommend if you're willing to splurge! read more

Haywire - Inside the party barn area - New American Near Me - Houston, Texas

I went to visit Haywire for a mother and son date this past Saturday. We made a reservation it wasn't busy so we were immediately seated. The hostess came to assist us and offered water and proceeded to take our order. The food was pretty good I would like to opt in for a little more seasoning. The establishment is pretty and very welcoming everyone was helpful and did a wonderful job. I will recommend idk if I would visit again it's a bit far from me read more

I visited Haywire two nights in a row. Both were work functions. The first night was open bar appetizers and a buffet type meal for 40ish people in a private room upstairs . The service was great as was the food. The second night I was with a much smaller group of 10 tucked in an area just to the left of the entrance. Everyone enjoyed their meal and I do t think you could go wrong with anything on the menu. If you are staying in the Memorial City area or the Westin next door .... This is a great dining option! read more

All I can say is wow about this place. Haywire has been in Houston for about a year or so ago and it's a shame it took me this long to check it out. This location is one of 5 throughout Texas and I believe they originated in Dallas. I don't give props to Dallas often, but I gotta give credit where it's due and thank them for giving us a location here. Houston's location is in the Memorial area in Gateway Memorial City complex. They have complimentary valet as well as a covered parking garage. Haywire is two stories with 9 different event spaces throughout that can accommodate groups as small as 10 people all the way up to a 100 people party barn that's separate from the main building. I don't know many other restaurants in Houston with options like that. The way I would describe this place is upscale country. You got the country western theme throughout but it still feels somewhat fancy inside. From the minute we walked in until the time we left, we had excellent customer service. My group of 7 had Isaiah as our waiter and he did such a great job. He was super friendly, prompt, and knowledgeable about the menu. We came for a later in the day brunch and were seated right away with a reservation. The brunch menu has everything from starters, soups & salads, brunch items, burgers, and lunch entrees. We started off with some cocktails. I went with the Cowboy Carajillo. It was a perfect brunch drink because it was like a hybrid old fashioned and espresso martini. It was very good. On top of the nice cocktail selection, they have a nice collection of spirits and wine as well. A few people ordered the Crispy Pork Belly Bites for starters. These little bite size morsels was like eating meat candy. They were cooked perfectly and had a sweet glaze. It was topped with pickled fresnos that gave it a nice bite. When it comes to southern, American cuisine, there is only one right choice if it's on the menu. The classic chicken fried steak. I did my research and also was told this was a hot seller. It usually comes with mashed potatoes and sautéed green beans but I went with mac & cheese and charred broccolini. When all of our food arrived, the wonderful aromas hit us right away. At first glance of my CFS, it looked like the batter was thin and not crispy. I was wrong. They used wagyu beef and the breading was seasoned to perfection. It was topped with one of the best creamy jalapeno and sausage gravies that I've had in a long time. I would say that this CFS alone might be one of the better ones in the city. The sides were also really delicious. They know how to season food here. Every component of every item was executed flawlessly. I tried bites of the crab cake benedict as well as the chicken fried chicken and egg biscuit. Both the crab and chicken were really good, but those biscuits were top notch. I wish I had room for dessert because they had some of my favorite, next time. Overall, I'm glad i finally crossed them off my list. This may be one of my new faves in town. I will most definitely be back. read more

A group of friends and I went for the Cowgirl dinner they were promoting. The dinner included a steak, fries, Caesar salad, and a martini for $30. Ok...say less! Everything tasted very good and had great flavor. The drinks were strong and delicious. Our waitress Xochitl was exceptional. I asked her if she had been serving for a long time because she was so so accommodating and impressive. I couldn't believe it when she said she was new. I will definitely be returning to try some other dishes. read more

Super cute place with indoor/outdoor seating and two floors. We made an early reservation and glad we did because there was a wait and a lot of bigger parties.

Haywire - Ranch Hand breakfast - New American Near Me - Houston, Texas

Booked a large party for my partner's birthday. Despite my best effort, I missed three people on my RSVP count, but they quickly accomodated us. Our server was Ezra and he did a good job managing all the requests, being extremely polite and of course getting our orders right. In fact, the only mixups that occurred happened because the staff who brought out the food didn't bring the ticket numbers so we had to a few extra passes until everyone had what they needed. We ordered the Chef's "Favorite 4" and each item was good. I particularly liked the mini elk tacos. Overall everyone liked the queso. I ordered the venison chili and thought I wouldn't finish it in anticipation of dinner, but it was so good, I ate all of it and the cornbread that came with it. Side note, the cornbread had enough sweetness and butter and it was soft - the perfect pairing. I ordered the meatloaf for my main at Ezra's insistence that it was good. I will admit when I ate it that night, I wasn't that impressed but a few days later when I ate my leftover, it was really good. The standout on the plate for me initially were the green beans - I'm not a green bean person but had already subbed my potatoes for mac n cheese (no bacon), so I decided to keep those and I'm glad I did. The combo of onions and seasoning was just right. This is the place to go if you want to try other types of meat beyond beef, chicken, pork and turkey, but need to dip your toe in the water without fully committing to a meal. There were enough items for everyone in our party who had different tastes to find something they like. Most everyone took home a box because the servings were good. One detail in particular I appreciated is the care they showed for the kids in our party. Ezra made sure to get their order in early so that they wouldn't be hungry waiting for the adults. Those are the little details that matter and make the experience. Will go back as now I want to try the chicken fried chicken and get some more chili. read more

Checked out the new-ish Haywire in Memorial City. Gigantic space with all kinds of seating options including a party barn, dog friendly patio, lounge, private rooms, upper and lower dining rooms. Service was friendly and knowledgeable. Everything was quite good, only the steak was not noteworthy. It was fine, just not better than the dozens of other steak places. The time between courses was overly long for some reason. Parking in the open lot, garage or valet. Entrance on the Gessner side. read more

I came with a group of friends for a birthday dinner and was pleasantly surprised by the decor. The restaurant is actually located on the second floor but on the first floor there is a bar/waiting area. I also saw a private room and some outdoor seating as well. Their theme is western but also trendy at the same time with chandeliers and nice iron doors/windows. The restaurant wasn't very packed but service was a little slower than what we expected. We were all looking around ready to place our orders for food and drinks. We started off with some shared appetizers and drinks. The menu includes some salads, steaks and mains like chicken fried steak/chicken/etc. I was surprised to see steaks on the menu ranging from $40-250 as for that price range I'd probably just rather go to a nice steak house instead. After the appetizers I had the guava margarita, Butcher's Cut Steak Salad, and some cornbread. We were sad to find out once our food all came out that they were actually out of fries which they failed to mention earlier so we settled for some onion rings instead. The steak was well cooked and not too chewy. I felt in general everything I had was saltier than I prefer but not unbearable. We ended the dinner off with some bread puddings which were a little hard and dense. Overall, it was a decent dinner. I didn't have any major complaints about food but also was not super impressed. I can see it being a nice spot to catch up with some friends. Service was okay, they didn't really say or come by much. I would have gladly ordered another drink but they never asked or gave me the chance to. We also were just handed one check for the entire table of 10 people without any offer to help split. read more

I stumbled across this location from a girlfriend who invited me to go out for happy hour! I love me a good HH so of course I say yes. We ordered some of the best French 75s I've had to date. I even tried the Bourbon blast which was also delicious. Now while I wasn't a fan of the Elk tacos, found them to be wrote quite mid, luckily the waitress was lovely. The place is beautiful too. Wooded out with a rustic look to it. Would I return? Hmm idk. Yet for the service alone I might give it a go. read more

I have been many of times prior but am sad to say, not sure we'll be back. Had a large party I wanted to reserve for dinner to occur last night. I had tried, many times, to get a hold of someone, well in advance of our date, and at a time they'd not be busy to take my information - like during lunch hour. Anytime I called, they were not open but the fact I could not leave a message on their mailbox full VM was disappointing. Everytime I called this was the case. When I did finally get ahold of someone, she wanted me to call them back! What!!! Take my info and call me! I'm done trying to track y'all down! Lost our business... we took it Ciro's! read more

This place came highly recommended and I definitely see why!!! Haywire is located right across the street from Memorial City Mall and this place is huge! I didn't even walk all around to explore the right side and upstairs but a friend told me they have plenty of room which is great for large parties. They offer valet for $5 so of course we used that service. We had reservations and were immediately sat at our table and greeted by our server. She offered recommendations since it was our first time and we decided on the Lump Crab Dip as an appetizer. It was served with grilled flatbread and was absolutely delicious! I ordered the Frozen Texas Tea and that was very good as well. For dinner I went with Blackened Catfish & Gulf Shrimp with creamy cajun corn. It came with 2 large fillets and 3 large shrimp. I made a very good choice as my meal was full of flavor. My friend got a steak salad and said it was very good as well. They offer $7 Happy Hour Mon-Fri 2-6pm that includes select drinks and bites to choose from. I'm looking forward to going back to try their brunch as I've heard great things about it and based on my dinner experience I'm a believer that it'll be just as good! read more

We stopped here for a break during a day of shopping in the Memorial City area. It looked like a cool new spot to relax at. There is regular parking facing I10, a garage behind you can pay to go in, and valet right out front. The design of this place really pops as you walk up and inside. It's clearly an elevated level of decoration that fuses rustic farmhouse and super modern. They have 2 floors and tons of area to sit depending on how big your group is. I believe they have only been open for 3 months, so the staff is well versed on their menus and happy to help with any questions. We don't eat fried food often so decided to get their combo of their 4 best appetizers along with cocktails. It was so tasty and not too heavy where we were knocked out the rest of the day. Will definitely be back for their brunch or dinner in the future! read more

Dropped in for a Friday, 2pm cocktail. The restaurant is well-designed and was surprisingly busy with a late lunch crowd. There are bars up and downstairs and a soon to open outdoor turf patio that leads to a new party room. Generally speaking, this place was designed with indoor/outdoor dining in mind. Drinks were good. Service was in between shifts so understandably slow. We only had the happy hour queso, which was good. We will be back for a proper meal and updated review. Nice addition to the Memorial City area. read more
