Best Southern American Restaurants in Flower Mound

Honestly, we had Valentine’s Day reservations months in advance at a steakhouse, but to our surprise upon arriving we were informed they had to shut down due to construction workers hitting a gas line. Highly disappointed, thinking we would not find a last minute reservation anywhere on Valentines night, Haywire had a few available slots on open table and it was right around the corner. We reserved for 2 not knowing what to expect, but I am SO GLAD WE DID! The elk tacos appetizers were delicious! The redfish w/crab and shrimp was amazing! I was also celebrating my birthday and the warm pecan pie w/ice cream was definitely the cherry on top! Our server was so attentive and took great care of us! We had reservations at 10pm and were done eating dinner at 10:40pm. 🥰 THANKS HAYWIRE.

We enjoyed our visit. It was very very popular so hence service was a bit slow. But staff very pleasant and food when it eventually came was very good. Will definitely be back but will try a week day when hopefully it will be a little quieter.

I can’t say enough good things about this place! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. But the real star of the experience? Roque. Roque went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. His attention to detail, kindness, and knowledge of the menu made our meal even more special. He had excellent recommendations, and in particular the wine pairing recommendation with our dish. The food itself was outstanding—perfectly done, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor. But it was Roque’s incredible service that truly set this experience apart. If you’re looking for a restaurant that delivers both amazing food and top-tier service, this is the place. Highly recommend, and if you go, be sure to ask for Roque! You won’t be disappointed.

Amazing Food & Incredible Experience! From start to finish, this restaurant delivered an unforgettable dining experience. We kicked things off with the deviled eggs and gumbo, and as a self-proclaimed gumbo connoisseur, I can confidently say this was one of the best I’ve had in a long time—rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. For the main course, we went with a family staple: fried chicken. It was everything you want in fried chicken—crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and seasoned to perfection. The collard greens were packed with flavor, and the shrimp fried rice was a delicious surprise, full of bold and savory notes. To top it all off, my cousin and I enjoyed a few of their specialty cocktails, the Purple Rain was absolutely fantastic. Meeting the chef was a highlight; she was incredibly kind and accommodating, which made the experience even more special. Although I don’t live in Dallas, I’m already looking forward to coming back. If you’re a local or just visiting, this place is a must-try!

Service was really great and the food was good. I like that there’s a variety of options on the menu.
