I arrived late for my reservation but, was still accommodated. The music was not so loud that you could not have a conversation. Our server David was great. The overall customer service was a 10/10. The food was soooo delicious. I ordered catfish, lobster Mac n cheese & okra. My friend ordered greens & they were really good. I’m new to Dallas & will definitely bring every visitor here.

Always a great experience at Haywire. The building they are located in recently converted parking to a ticketless system. It was a bit confusing to navigate, so I asked about it when I arrived, and the Manager came over to talk to me. He explained that parking was, in fact, free and validated, despite the parking company asking for my credit card info. And, once I finished my meal, I went through the validation process and it worked seamlessly. A tad bit annoying, but not reflective of the leadership at Haywire. As always, the rest of my experience at Haywire was fantastic, and our server was delightful!
