Not a good experience. No personality/southern hospitality. Food was not great, but very pricey. Manager was very nice and apologized for the inconvenience.

Howdy Guy, We're truly sorry to hear that we fell short of delivering the warm, hospitable Texas experience we strive for. That’s never the impression we want to leave, and we hope for an opportunity to do better by welcoming you back for another visit. Also thank you for addressing that we had a team member on our management team that made efforts to turn your experience around. All the best, Haywire Uptown Team

The food and service were excellent! The drinks were good and strong! I will be back and would 10 out of 10 recommend you others! My only complaint would be the hostess team. They weren’t that friendly upon checking in for my reservation. And honestly had it not been for what I think was the manager who walked by and noticed that we had been sitting for a while, I would’ve had to go back to ask about our table. We got there at 3 pm and our reservation was for 3:15.

Howdy Amanda! Thank you so much for your kind words and positive review about our food and service—we’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed everything, especially the strong drinks! We also truly appreciate your honest feedback about the check-in experience. We’re sorry the initial interaction at the host stand didn’t reflect the level of hospitality we aim to provide. Your experience is important to us, and we’ll use your comments as a valuable guide for improvement. We're glad our manager was able to step in and help get things back on track, and we appreciate your patience in the meantime. Thank you again for your support and for recommending us—feedback like yours helps us grow. We look forward to welcoming you back soon! All the best, Haywire Uptown Team

Highly recommend. Went for Father’s Day brunch, restaurant was Busy but everyone was so friendly and the food was absolutely fabulous. Love that they use locally sourced foods.

The parking situation was convenient, and I appreciated that they validate—but it wasn’t super clear how it worked when we first arrived. I’m guessing they get asked about it all the time. Unfortunately, the experience inside didn’t quite match the ease of parking. The host stand set the tone, and not in the best way—the girl working it seemed annoyed by guests, and it felt like we were bothering her just by checking in. The food itself was mostly good, though my barbacoa chilaquiles had a giant chunk of fat that took up most of what should have been the meat portion—kind of disappointing. Brittany, our server, didn’t help turn things around either. She barely checked on us, didn’t engage, and honestly just didn’t seem like she wanted to be there. Overall, the staff gave off an odd vibe—something just felt off about the whole energy of the place. Because of that, we’re undecided on whether we’ll come back. The food has potential, but the service and atmosphere need work.
Haywire - Uptown DallasResponded 5 days ago
Howdy Nina, while we’re glad the parking was convenient, we apologize that the validation process wasn’t clearly communicated and that we fell short in providing the assistance you needed. More importantly, we sincerely apologize that your experience inside did not reflect the level of hospitality we strive to provide. From the initial interaction at the host stand to your table service, it’s clear we missed the mark. The lack of attentiveness and care is not the energy we want any guest to encounter, and we regret it left you disappointed. We understand your hesitation to return but hope for the opportunity to make a better impression. Though this feedback is tough, we’re grateful as it helps us improve and coach our team toward excellent service. Thank you again, Haywire Uptown Team

It was really good, just not best for a birthday….service was weird, not horrible but not close to being the best

Feel free to send us a direct message so we can connect more personally — your feedback could really help us improve and ensure future visits are everything they should be, especially for special occasions.

We tried this place recently for lunch and had a good experience. We parked in a garage that opens into the restaurant. They validate the parking, but even after following the steps, we still had to push the button for the operator to let us out. The place is massive. They have several seating areas as well as seating at the spacious bar. We started with the chips and queso. The queso was delicious. My wife ordered the chicken fried chicken and I ordered the Western burger. Both had great flavor. The portion sizes matched the price. The breading on the chicken fried chicken came off as my wife cut it, but it still was good. Our service was great. We will definitely be back.

Howdy, Jimmy! Thank you so much for giving Haywire a try and for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the queso, chicken fried chicken, and Western burger — and that our service made a great impression! We appreciate your feedback about the public parking garage. While it's managed by a third party, we're actively working with them to help make the validation process smoother for our guests. It truly means a lot to know you'll be back, and we can’t wait to welcome you again soon! All the best, Haywire Uptown Team
