    Celebrated our 8th anniversary at Pappas Bros Steakhouse. The staff and manager were fantastic. Food was out of this world! Joyce took time to explain the options, showed us different cuts of meat and gave us suggestions. We had the Prime Ribeye (18oz), skillet potatoes and chocolate cake to finish. Every bite was delicious! Joyce even brought us a special dish (on the house) - sautéed jalapeños. I can’t even begin to describe how good this was paired with the potatoes. For drinks, we had red wine (glass), Moscow mule, Long Island, and a lychee martini. First time in Houston, first time at Pappas Bros. Will do it all over again the next time we’re in town.

    The food was amazing and we just loved the build out of the restaurant. Just felt really fun and elegant. We had the deviled crab and the sausage flatbread to start and they were amazing. I had the pork schnitzel which was huge but OMG amazing. Several in our group had steaks which were really good. Cooked to perfection. To end the night we had the most amazing coconut pie. I have never had better. As if this wasn’t all enough, Rusty, our waiter was so attentive. His suggestions were all great. He really made the night for us! Overall, We were all very happy and will definitely come Back. Thank you for an amazing night!

    Last minute decision to dine at Haywire. Got a quick reservation for our party of 5. We arrived early, but were sat immediately. Our server, Greg, was informative and knowledgeable about the menu. We decided to share the Cowboy Feast. The meat was cooked to our liking and all the butters that came with it were delicious. Our drinks were tasty. Overall, a great dining experience and we will go back.

    Great selection and value for Christmas Eve dining! Wonderful rich lobster bisque with chunks of meat to start,followed by an 8oz filet mignon with crabmeat lumps. Other great choices as well. Personal service by U.T., our smiling waiter. Excellent wine choices with a wide price range. We had a nice quiet booth and went early before it got too busy. Impressive.

    I really like the menu. It has a little bit of everything. The ambiance is pretty. But I must say above all the service was excellent! Ask to sit in Kyla’s section. She is so nice so attentive. She smiled the whole time and it was busy when we arrived. She made my experience even better! Thank you!
