We came here on a Wednesday for lunch. The restaurant is so much nicer than the menu prices suggest. We didn't have reservations and were sat right away. We came back on a Saturday for dinner with reservations and highly recommend that. The restaurant is at a mall, so there is a ton of parking. On the weekends, parking isn't as easy, but they do have valet for $10. You pay through a text link, but it doesn't have Apple Pay. The first time we came, we sat downstairs and had the smoked fried chicken and the meatloaf. Both were incredible. The second time, we sat upstairs and I got the western burger and my wife got the Cesar salad. Both were great, but the burger was really messy. Downstairs was really nice, but a little loud. Upstairs was more intimate and quieter. They have an elevator, but it was out of order when we came for the second time. On both visits, our servers were great and really seemed to know the menu and care about service read more

They declined to seat my party of two without a reservation but invited me to find seats at the bar. You would think I would be mad but the hostess was courteous and sincere. Guys it was crazy busy on a Monday night, I can't imagine what kind of nightmare it is on Friday and Saturday. Anyway, it was a good first impression. The chef's appetizer plate for $22 was a good price to try four appetizers. Big chunky onion rings, good chips n queso, fried green tomatoes, and (yuck) elk tacos. Still a good deal if you wind up not liking the elk tacos. I had the tortilla soup, tastes like enchiladas sauce, more creamy than brothy. It is good and has a spicy kick, I have had better but it is good. I had the cobb salad for my entree, tasted good and was decent size. Liked the signature house vinaigrette they use. I had a cazadores "margarita in marfa" which was strong and gave me a relaxing attitude after sipping over my food. Dessert tonight was the carrot cake, it was a little dry, not the best I have had. Will try something else next time. read more

Eh. 1st time we went and sat at the bar and had great service. Good drinks. Ended up having dinner. Very nice. 2nd time- no spots at dinner on a Sunday and we left. 3rd time. The bartender (female) seemed to be bothered by us asking for (temp) hot queso and just about anything else. The (male) bartender took my husband'a beer order but never brought it even though they weren't that busy for a Thurs evening. The original email bartender sent back our "extra hot queso". It's the little things... seriously? You don't think we can see or hear staff? Can't recommend. Maybe your experience will be different but we will not return. Sadly- I thought we had found our place for a quick drink and delicious dinner. Nope. read more

I visited Haywire on a Sunday and arrived without a reservation. My party of 5 did have to wait approximately 45 minutes to be seated and we grabbed cocktails from the bar while we waited. Most of the guests were wearing their formal cowboy hats and western wear which made the experience feel truly "hill country". The food was amazing and the service was great once we were seated. Everyone loved their meals and the steak salad was especially enjoyable. Definitely will be back! read more

First time eating at this restaurant. I went for brunch and the service with perfect- the atmosphere is with such beautiful art pieces and all from local arts. The food was amazing! The only draw back is they did not have dairy free creamer for coffee - but they were able to accommodate my meal as I have some food restrictions. I definitely need to go back for dinner - highly recommend! read more

I could go on and on about how much I love haywire! I recently went for my first time about one month ago, and have since gone back three times!

This is a great spot for a date, birthday, or any special celebration! I highly recommend this place to everyone I meet! read more

Upscale dining spot where we celebrated a birthday. Good chicken fried steak and charcuterie starter.

First time visiting this place as it has been recommended by others. We arrived around 9 and asked the hostess what the wait was for a party of 3. We saw around 8 people in the waiting area and the restaurant doesn't close until 11pm on Saturdays. The hostess informed us that they were only taking reservations for the rest of the evening. That was surprising to hear as they were maybe about 60-70% full inside. Luckily we found available seats at the bar. There were several tables emptied behind us and those were never filled the 1.5 hour we were there. Service: bartenders were nice and stayed busy. Unfortunately when we sat down we didn't have utensils or plates. We ordered appetizers and drinks and the plates/utensils were not brought to us. We asked about 10 minutes after the apps were dropped off and they didn't have enough clean plates for us. Then it was another 10 minutes until the last person in our group got a plate. Super disappointing. Drinks: They were all fantastic and made well. Prices are the norm for the area ($12-$15 per drink.) Food: Also delicious . Onion rings were crispy and the crab dip was flavorful. I couldn't taste the crab though. I don't know if we will be back. read more

Haywire - Beef Steak, Pinot noir wine and side of tallow fries - New American Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

We came here for an anniversary lunch and honestly had such a great experience from start to finish. We started with cocktails. I got the Front Porch Swing, which was super refreshing, sweet, and absolutely delicious. My partner got the Tequila Old Fashioned, and he really enjoyed it too. For appetizers, we ordered the fried green tomatoes, and I'm not exaggerating when I say they were the best fried green tomatoes I've ever had. They were served over a green goddess dressing that paired perfectly with them. Seriously so flavorful and just amazing. I also got the venison chili, which was so good, especially with the side of cornbread. Warm, comforting, and full of flavor. For my main dish I ordered the Cobb salad, and it was HUGE. I couldn't even finish it all, but it was really fresh and delicious. My partner ordered the redfish plate, and it was amazing too. The mashed potatoes were incredibly garlicky and flavorful, the fish was cooked perfectly and stayed tender, and the lemon cream sauce on top pulled everything together so well. For dessert, we got the chipotle chocolate layer cake, and wow... absolutely one of my favorite chocolate cakes I've ever had. I normally hate chipotle flavoring in desserts, but this had the perfect subtle warmth at the end without being overpowering. It was served with ice cream and was honestly the perfect ending to the meal. Overall, this was such a great anniversary lunch. Great food, great drinks, and everything we ordered was genuinely enjoyable. We'll definitely be back. Our server was so sweet and wonderful as well! 10/10 recommend the fried green tomatoes and that chocolate cake! read more

They really did well with their design and decor. Reminded me of a large home in Boerne, just had that great feel. Cowboy meets glam! Drinks whoever was making them for Sunday brunch was on a vibe to make sure everyone walked out happy!! They packed a punch. The food was okay. Didn't really care to take pics. I would still come back. Our waiter seemed a little overwhelmed. But I would come back, give them another shot once they've gotten things down!! read more

First time and it was absolutely fabulous! The drinks & food were on point. Everyone at the table enjoyed their food. We had the ribs & the conb salad. Absolutely DELICIOUS!!! The cornbread was the perfect sweet & the mac was do creamy w/ a tad of spice, absolutely delicious! The apoetizer was good. The onion rings were good but a tad too much breading gor me. The green tomato taste great with the smokey chipotle sauce. The chios & dip hit the spot. Now, let's talk about the dessert. OMG!!! This is one of the best bread puddings I've ever had and we've had a lot. It was absolutely delicious.! The old fashion was excellent too! We can't wait to come back to try other options on the menu read more

Haywire - I had the meatloaf with green beans and potatoes. Honestly I couldn't stop eating the green beans, they were amazing. - New American Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

If you're looking for that sweet spot between upscale and laid-back Texan fare, Haywire's got you covered. I'll definitely be back for round two, especially those elk tacos! The moment you walk in, you're welcomed by that modern-rustic, Texas-chic vibe that promises something special. It's not exactly Perry's steakhouse, but for me, it definitely beats your typical chain steak joint like Saltgrass. read more

Not Worth the Hype or the $250 Price Tag I had high expectations for Haywire, especially given the $250 Cowboy Feast, but unfortunately, the execution was a huge letdown. To be clear, service wasn't the issue, our waitress did a solid job under the circumstances. However, the bar was painfully slow, taking 10-15 minutes just for a single pour of bourbon, long after the cocktails had arrived. The real problem? The steaks. We ordered the feast medium rare, yet what came out was completely inconsistent: - The wagyu tomahawk was rare, barely cooked past a sear. - The strip was medium well at best, a total overcook. - The filet was also rare, nowhere near medium rare. For a steakhouse that prides itself on premium cuts and top-tier service, I expected much better attention to detail. The steaks were sliced before being served, so the kitchen should have clearly seen that they weren't cooked properly, but they sent them out anyway. To make matters worse, when we brought this up to the manager, they simply threw the already-sliced steak back on the grill for a quick fix. At this price point, nearly $600 for the meal, I expected more than just tossing a ruined steak back on the heat. A premium experience should come with premium service and accountability, not just a halfhearted attempt to patch up the mistake. By that point, some of our party had already started eating because we didn't want to wait even longer for the food to be fixed. That shouldn't have happened in the first place. On top of that, the sides were served without any serving utensils, meaning everyone had to use their personal forks... a minor issue, but not something I'd expect at this price point. And please, try to tell me again how the steak is "medium rare" and not straight-up rare/blue. At this price, we shouldn't have to choose between undercooked and overcooked steak. If you're going to charge top dollar for a premium experience, the kitchen needs to be on point. Unfortunately, it wasn't. At least the vibes were vibing. read more

Dropped in to celebrate a birthday and was overall impressed with the space - large, well-lit, fun bar area, big booths and cozy tables, and a semi-open kitchen. Huge wine wall and a modern country feel. We had a reservation and were seated immediately. Service was casual. Large menu with plenty of options! Note that they do not serve many steaks during lunch, only dinner. Overall, the food was good but I felt like I've had better versions of it elsewhere. I would revisit to give their steaks a try, but it's nothing to write home about. QUICK FACTS: - Parking? Yes, valet is available for $ or you can find a spot in the parking lot. - Reservations? Recommended since it's new and if you have larger parties, but not required. There may be a wait without one. FOOD RATINGS: - Appetizer sampler (5/5): A great starter for the table! The onion rings are HUGE and so crispy. The queso is delicious, though a little clumpy. Chips were great and the sauces were delicious. The fried green tomatoes were my least favorite part, as they didn't seem ripe, but overall a great starter. - Red fish (4/5): Tasty and generous portion. Needed a little salt but otherwise good. Loved the mashed potatoes and citrus salad that comes with it! I added the corn bread for $3 and it was worth it. - Pork chop (4/5): Giant pork chop similar to Perry's famous pork chop. Juicy and cooked perfectly, but needed more flavor or a sweetness to it. The chipotle butter it comes with is okay. You get 1 side with it but can order more. - Mac and cheese (4/5): Pretty tasty overall. Small portion for the price but enjoyable and would order again. - Pecan pie (3.5/5): The only reason this didn't get rated higher is because it was served cold/slightly frozen! The flavor was rich and incredible, but it needed to be nuked. We had to saw bites off and stab it with our spoons, and the ice cream wouldn't melt at all since the entire slide was frozen. It would be incredible warmed. read more

Oh man, they really got the name right. This is the weirdest, most confounding restaurant I have ever experienced. Surreal, but not in a good way. Arrived Monday, May 11 for our 6 pm reservation for 9. There were plenty of tables. Upon check in, hostess said they were just going to check that our table was ready. That's when things went off the rails. It was obvious they had screwed up the reservation-managers heading to the front and you could see the hostess was flustered. Then they started setting up our table - a table right by the door. Not cool for a reservation but no biggie. For some reason it took 15 minutes to bring out the extra place settings. Then while we are standing there watching, they started pouring water. Really? Just seat us already. Now for the table. Long, u shaped booth, impossible for conversation. Picture the last supper. My dad and I on the ends couldn't really converse with anyone. Just a dumb set up for any party larger than 4. We did try for another table, but of course not available even though we made a reservation 2 weeks ago. Pretty sure they don't understand what a reservation is. Then we got the spiel and I asked for a wine list. That took about 10 minutes. I ordered a bottle of white and 2 bottles of red. 20 minutes later, she returns and tells us they don't have the white. I order a different bottle. 20 minutes later, they come back and say they don't have the red and offer a bottle that's $15 more expensive. In between, they tried to upsell our water to "coca cola products." Anyway, I let the waitress know this upselling wasn't acceptable and to bring back the wine list. Another 20 minutes goes by and now a manager comes and apologizes and says the refrigerator was broken and she wanted to chill the wine first. At this point I asked, "what about the red?" She said, "what red", and gave some excuse We are now more than an hour in and not a drop of wine has been poured. The apps game. They were ok. Fried green tomatoes were too green and were not cooked properly (raw), but Ok. I think we also managed to get our orders. Finally the white wine came, then maybe 10 minutes later the manager showed up with 1 bottle of our second choice red (we ordered 2). The waitress, bless her heart, could not open the wine. She said she was trying to remove it so it didn't pop (it was Pinot Grigio) and actually accidentally smashed the bottle on the table. She ended up breaking the cork and pouring too many glasses of white. No biggie . The "manager " handled the red. She also could not open a bottle of wine and broke the cork. Meanwhile, the poor waitress who had obviously been thrown into the fire with no training and no support, offered to get an ice bucket for the white. Came back, forgot it, came back again 15 minutes later, poured water from the water bottle on the table into the icebucket and proceeded to put the red bottle "on ice." So at this point, we are just going with it. Pushing 2 hours in, we had finished apps and finally had wine. Then the food came. We were missing some items. I had the 13 oz ribeye. I ordered it medium. It was well done, not medium, and very salty. Smallest spinalis I've ever seen on ribeye-maybe it was a select cut? Green beans were raw and flavorless. Loaded mash potatoes had good flavor, but were lukewarm. And no steak knives? Why?? I didn't have the heart or another hour to spare , so I didn't send it back. When they realized it was my birthday, they offered free dessert, which I declined because I knew it would be another 30 minutes. We never got the second bottle of red or anything other than excuses from the manager- who we did not call, she came of her own accord. I feel our waitress was just hung out to dry by a terrible system. Bill was presented and they clicked past the receipt and straight to the payment screen and the waitress pretty much ran way after that. Given the chaos and missed items, including the wine, as well as no communication around gratuity being added or not, we had to go to the hostess to check the bill. Cherry on top? She said we had to run the card to see it. What the actual hell? Frankly, reading other reviews about how they run out of wine and food, and always suggest a higher dollar item to replace, I suspect this by design. It certainly felt like a bait and switch to me. Anyway, we got out alive and fed and have a story to tell. I can't imagine how this place stays in business. Haywire, indeed. read more

OK, full disclosure I went to Haywire 8 days after their grand opening and just now getting around to posting my review. I am shocked that the reviews have not been more positive. It has no bearing on my opinion though. Here's my experience. Haywire at La Cantera might be my new favorite spot in San Antonio. The place has a true Texas vibe - like an upscale ranch house - and the service was awesome. We kicked things off with the Chef's Favorite 4 (queso blanco, branding iron onion rings, mini elk tacos and fried green tomatoes). Every single one was tasty and honestly could've been a whole meal by itself. For mains, we had the Slow and Low Chicken, which was super juicy and flavorful, and the Double Cut Pork Chop, which stole the show. Perfectly cooked, so tender and packed with flavor - it practically melted in my mouth. And I can't forget the Bourbon Smash I ordered... top-notch cocktail and the perfect match for such a great meal. I highly recommend Haywire and will definitely go back. read more
