New restaurant review: Haywire Uptown
Yesterday I had a little time between meetings, so stopped for lunch at the haywire in downtown Dallas. I've been to the Plano location multiple times and love it, and was excited to experience another rendition of it.
The decor is rustic and flavors of Southwest style. I went around 11:30 and sat on the patio, they had nice airflow and AC pumping so it was quite cool.They had a small RV camper inside set up with a fun and funky table.
My server was extremely friendly and took great care of me. I had the steak salad and subbed in a spicy dressing. It was good and I'm glad to have tried something new but the meatloaf was really on my heart. I'm kinda regretting my decision...
The kitchen has a clear view from the inside of the restaurant through the glass. They have a large and inviting bar with a cool pulley system for the shelving, rustic wood floors and a longhorn sporting pride colors. I particularly liked the ceiling treatment and one of the side dining rooms had a cool rope treatment with some awesome light fixtures.
The VP of the company was walking around and we had a conversation, very friendly guy. He was telling me about the Houston location. Would love to give that a try in the future.
One thing Haywire always does is have exceptional customer service. I have never had a bad experience and thoroughly enjoy every dining opportunity.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1Business owner information

I've been to this Haywire location a few times and the overall service has stayed consistent. It wasn't crowded this time and so service was a bit more thorough and timely.
For starters, we tried the Fried Green Tomatoes and Blueberry Biscuits. They were both very good. The biscuits were a perfect size and came with a side of vanilla glaze; although not needed, it definitely takes the biscuit to another level)
For my meal, I had the Barbacoa Grilled Cheese. This was grilled to perfection; medium firm in the middle and crunchy around the edges. The barbacoa was seasoned well and it was plentiful despite my picture (my apologies). My only issue is that all the meat was stuffed into the middle as opposed to being spread evenly. Because of this, I ended up cutting off the corners and basically wasting a lot of bread. My sandwich came with a side of Tomato Soup, but to my surprise, it wasn't your regular tomato soup. It came with shredded chicken and chunks of avocado. So delicious.
The serving sizes are usually generous so it fills you up pretty quickly. Next time I'll be sure to save room for dessert.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

**Rating: 3.5 out of 5**
I visited Haywire in Uptown on Sunday, June 30, 2024, and had a mixed experience.
Starting with the valet service, I was put off by the attendant's rudeness. The valet stand is across the street from the entrance, and when I asked him to cross the street so I could get out and walk right in, he instructed me to meet him across the street instead. He didn't even open my car door. The restaurant manager informed me that the valet company is a separate, third-party service.
Once inside, the dining experience was better. We started with the Lump Crab Dip, which was delicious and well-seasoned--perfect for sharing between two people. My date ordered the Smoked Angus Prime Rib, but it arrived cold, so we sent it back. Not sure if it had been sitting out or if the server delayed bringing it to our table. We opted for the Ribeye instead, which was juicy and flavorful. The Mac & Cheese he ordered was also tasty.
I wasn't very hungry and decided on the Gulf Coast Ceviche, which was just okay. Being from Panama, I'm used to a different style. As I'm limiting alcohol, I chose the Mojito Refresher mocktail, which was so good and refreshing.
The service was good overall, and the restaurant wasn't busy during our visit around 3 pm on a Sunday. Valet parking costs $7 plus tip, but they do have self-parking with validation available. Overall, Haywire offers a decent dining experience, but there are areas for improvement, especially with the valet service.

Hi Shareen, thank you for your detailed feedback about your experience and area for us to improve upon, our valet service. We will partner with the valet management team to assure that we are providing quality, hospitable service, both inside and outside our restaurant.
You are correct, we do have a self-parking garage, that is attached to our building. We validate parking passes for guests that dine with us. We recently posted signs at the entry of the parking garage to help our guests with parking;)
We look forward to your next visit and hope to see you back soon for an opportunity to turn your experience into a 5 star!!

I came away with what I believe to be food poisoning. I was sick all night long in the bathroom. So much so that I thought I was going to have to go to the hospital.
We were not impressed with the food and needless to say will not be going backHelpful 1Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 2Business owner information

A must try if you're in Dallas!
The vibes and lighting for dinner are immaculate and the staff really show their southern hospitality.
Crab Dip was a big fat, YES!
Chicken Fried Chicken. The perfect comfort food and so delicious.
The Pecan pie, yall. Out of my group of five, I was the only one who wanted this dessert and everyone agreed it was way better than the chocolate cake. Like, this honestly might be the best restaurant dessert I've ever had.
They sho know how to cook here. Do not miss this spot!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 1Business owner information

Haywire offers a great dining experience with its fresh, farm-to-table concept. Everything was tasty, and the mac and cheese and cornbread were amazing! The only downside was waiting 40 minutes for our reservation, but they made up for it with complimentary appetizers. The quality of the ingredients really stood out. Overall, it was a fantastic meal, and we'll definitely be back!

I wanted a true Texas dining experience and this restaurant delivered. The interior made me feel like I was visiting a Texas ranch for dinner. Most of the menu is for a carnivore but there are a few less heavy goodies on the menu.
I started with the Mini Elk Tacos. Yes you read that correctly, Elk. Not a common meat choice in my region so had to sample. Meat was flavorful. The taco was all meat no extra veggie fillers. Very good eats.
I wasn't really in the mood for a big carnivorous meal so decided on Texas Redfish for my entree. Never tasted Redfish. It was nicely grilled with no odd seasonings. A basic white fish would be my description. It was paired was rice and salad greens. I really enjoyed the entree. It wasn't too heavy but was filling.
Service was really good. I ordered and was served my starter within a few minutes. My entree was also timed perfectly to be delivered shortly after finishing the starter. Nicely done with the service. I hate waiting extended periods of time between my courses.
Overall this was a win. Good food. Good service. Interesting decor.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0Business owner information

A group of us had a team dinner here at the suggestion of a co worker who lives in Dallas. I'm glad we took his advice. Haywire was phenomenal. Great food, great drinks.
Seriously, there wasn't a single thing that we didnt love.
Started things off with a chef's platter appetizer that featured, onion rings, fried green tomatoes, elk tacos and a queso dip. Everything on this tray was outstanding. The rings and tomatoes were nice and crispy, great balance of breading and veg. I didn't get to a taco, but those who did raved.
For an entree, I got the chicken fried steak with a side of roast corn. Again, this was a nice portion size and the steak didn't get overshadowed by the batter. One thing I really liked was the fact that you could see the corn was cut off the cob and it was fresh not frozen.
The show stopper though was the dessert sampler. THe pecan pie with the cinnamon roll crust was life changing. Don't know if I ever want another pecan pie without the cinnamon roll crust again. The bread pudding was terrific as well. I didn't care for the chipotle chocolate cake quite as much, but then again, I'm not a big spicy/ sweet combo fan.
Would definitely go back to Haywire next time I'm in DallasHelpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information
