This place is top notch. A beautiful country steakhouse with unreal meats (steak, elk, venison), tasty cocktails, and a menu to die for. Great for a fancier date or business dinner... A true CAN'T MISS. Unreal food and ambiance. 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

I celebrated a big birthday there a little over a week ago, and it was my first time, like most of my guests. I walked in, and no one was at the greeter area at first. A couple of minutes later, a guy walks up, I tell him my name and that I'm there for party inder said name, and he basically just waves me up the elevator. Like I said, it was my first time--I had no idea what to expect or how to get around. What started out as a nice experience turned into "meh" not long after the appetizers, which were good, by the way. When the main courses started to arrive, at least three people in my party weren't happy with their food. One sent her plate back and decided not to order anything else. After seeing that, I just went for a salad to avoid further disappointment with my own food. The bill was the next headache. The waitress seemed to try her best, but she needed help. It took over an hour to get things sorted out. There was no follow-up, no "sorry for your inconveniences," especially on my birthday, or anything. Other than the restaurant's look, the apps, and I guess the cocktails, I wouldn't recommend coming for anything outside of happy hour. 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

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

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. The ambiance was very quiet and beautifully decorated. I would definitely recommend it to my friends and will be back to keep trying their delicious plates. 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

I like this place. The decor is beautiful, reminiscent of a Colorado or Wyoming resort. Its all ranch land, cowboys and ruggedness. Heck Tyler Sheridan himself may have had a hand decorating. Food is good, enjoyed my redfish, topped with lump crab and rock shrimp its a winner. The barbacoa, while good is underwhelming, its a gringo version. It's like pot roast, it's lacking the gelatinous tender flavorful bites that come from slow roasted cheek meat. Service looked great at other tables, ours was not happy to have us as customers. My dining partner also felt the cold and short responses as she introduced herself and made herself fairly scarce the entire meal. I look forward to returning to enjoy the bar, a good spirit selection and the have a smoker for old fashioneds. 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

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

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

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

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'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

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

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

*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

Best things in our group order? Onion rings & that bourbon caramel sauce on the bread pudding! Burger was juicy but nothing special. Tallow fries could have been crispier. Chicken fried steak was a little thick but tasty. Brisket grilled cheese was EVERYTHING you would expect. The smoked fried chicken would have been perfect but for the hardness of the coating. Service was pleasant but slow. Overall a good lunch outing that could have been EXCELLENT with a little more attention to detail. 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

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

After reading about this place I was excited to finally try it. Unfortunately I was very disappointed and think it's mediocre at best. We got the crispy pork belly appetizer (delicious), bison tacos (average/boring) and cheeseburger (too much cheese:beef ratio and way too salty, fries were average). They also only had ~4 beers on draft, none of which were local. We didn't try the cocktails. The Texas themed decor was nice and the service was fine, with the waitress being absent for awhile but checking on us just enough. I'm never a fan of the portable electronic POS devices they use to take orders. I don't plan on returning. It's not cheap and none of the food was good enough to compel me to go back. 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.
