So "Haystack " must be Lakewood lingo for filthy mess. A weekday visit, admittedly forty minutes before closing and this place was a wreck. Cleaning supplies everywhere, filthy floors and counters. Make a left going to the toilet and you risk stepping into a pit of garbage bags. All of that said, the staff was super friendly and the Taos chicken sandwich and fries were world class... read more

Fantastic burgers! These are large customized burgers and the choices offered are all delicious. I particularly enjoyed the patty melt, especially with the addition of some jalapeños! My wife is a purest and enjoyed being able to order her burger exactly how she like them. read more

Food is fine but not great & too pricey. The real issue is how filthy the dining area is - food etc on the floor, under the seats, & crumbs on the tables. Then I look over to the cashier & he's on his phone rather than pushing a broom. This is my 3rd & last time here. It's all dudes working here each visit & a couple really sketch. Maybe try hiring someone who wants a clean work environment. read more

I loved my burger from here! It was $10 and lasted me 2 meals! The place gets packed but we had great service at the bar. They have tons of beers on tap, outdoor seating and really good fries. Definitely will be going back! read more

Mediocre with potential. Flavor was good. Could be solid. All sandwiches are weak on protein; you're going to have about 30% more bread than you need. The ratio is jacked on the melt, burgers, and wrap. Fries are OK. Haystack onions are solid but definitely not worth more $ than the fries. Good luck eating the wraps without it falling apart. Maybe a chipotle training sesh is in order? :) Overall it's so close to being really solid, make a few tweaks on sandwich ratios, tighten up presentation / eating ability, throw some more salt and/or use tallow for the fries and they're on their way. read more

Service and burger excellent! I see the reason why it stays packed ! The gentleman that run this place are awesome they are constantly asking if you need anything ! I'll be back more on the menu to try ! read more

Haystack Burgers and Barley - Whether it's the haystack or the down on the farm !!! everything is delicious!!! - Burgers Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Came here for Sunday lunch with a friend and we thoroughly enjoyed the food! The restaurant is located within a shopping center with plenty of parking. There's a small bar situated in the center of the restaurant so we seated ourselves there. We both ordered mimosas and they were delicious! Later on, I ordered the Haymaker but it was a tad bit sweet for my taste. We started out with the chips and guacamole which came with salsa. This was your standard dip and nothing too fancy about it. For burgers, I ordered the Down on the Farm add mushrooms and my friend ordered the Double Bourbon Bacon Jam burger. We added a side of fries which was enough to share. The burgers were huge and delicious! It's definitely enough for leftovers but no shame if you finish it all. I will definitely come back to this location to try out their other food items and drinks. read more

The food is fantastic. The fries are excellent. I had the Taos chicken sandwich and it was delicious.

Very good burger joint! On the pricey side if you add on to the burger, but worth it. I had the Farm Burger (regular cheese burger) and added avocado and bacon. The burger was cooked perfect with plenty of flavor. Side of fries were nothing special. You order at the counter and they deliver to your table. Busy place for a Sunday lunch, but they did turn the food out fairly fast for a cook-to-order place. It had a bistro style feeling inside. A little noisy, as expected. A ton of tables, window bar seating, and a standard bar in the middle. They had plenty of adult drinks on the menu as well with what looked like a somewhat extensive draft beer selection. Their salads also looked really good. Might have to try those next time. Parking is in a strip mall. So depending on how busy the other stores are will determine your parking difficulty. At least it is a large lot and not just street parking. read more

Finding a needle in a haystack is easier than finding something not good on this menu! All I can say wow. The shakes were so good we had to get a second. The staff were beyond friendly and the place was spotless! This is a MUST stop for all burger enthusiast. read more

A friend recommended this place so I had to try it out. I love the vibe and it's in a great location. They offer several burger and sandwich options, but I ordered the Haystack Burger and added a fried egg white with a side of fries. Our food came out impressively fast during a somewhat busy night so kudos to the kitchen staff! I wanted to love everything about my burger, but something was throwing it off. I was getting a salty/tangy taste that I didn't enjoy and I think the bbq sauce was the culprit. Since bbq sauce was already smothered on the burger, it was hard to escape the taste. For the bites that I managed to scrape the bbq sauce off of, I could taste the potential. The fries were pretty good though. Next time, I'll have to hold the bbq sauce so I can get the full Haystack experience. read more

Boss lady and I ordered to-go. I ordered the goat cheese and fig burger... fabulous! (I don't use that word often) The meat was cooked medium, and the toppings made an amazing bight each time. She had the regular burger with bacon, really good! The 50/50 fries onion ring combo would have tasted better eaten in-house. The joint is like a fish bowl with two walls with windows everywhere. You would think they'd keep the place cleaner. read more

Used to come here when business was booming- Returned today with my wife and very disappointed in the atmosphere. Dirty dishes in the bar with flies around and cooks eating and drinking in the prep area. On top of that what seemed to be a shift lead could not describe the dishes with details that made anything appetizing. Will NOT be returning. read more

Cleanliness is clearly not a priority. It's a lot more pleasant to enjoy any meal when the establishment is clean. This was our first time eating at this location and it was a pretty bad experience. The employees going in and out of the kitchen walked over and around trash as if it wasn't there. There were tables that needed cleaning and food on the floor in several areas that needed to be removed. The employees had plenty of downtime that they used to socialize with each other instead of picking up the restaurant. There didn't appear to be a Manager on duty as nobody seemed to be 'in charge'. read more

Super expensive for an average burger! While I appreciate the packaging of packing separately the condiments, the burger, mustard and Mayo soaked through the bun and it was all soggy! Also - the amount of onions was pathetic. See pic. Got a whole bag full of fries...too many really. And they're very salty. Service was great. read more

My favorite burger spot in Dallas right now is always on point super chill environment. And the staff are great too! The spicy ketchup bomb!

No pictures of our food this time but I'm loving the new Haystack's location in Lakewood! Haystack burgers are top 3 in Dallas in my opinion. Everything is delicious! Don't get me started on the mozzarella sticks. Crispy perfection! This time I ordered the avocado ranch burger, with applewood smoked bacon, provolone cheese, over medium well. I could only finish half it was so big! Dangerous that they've opened a location closer to us. :) read more

Eh, it's a nice place. Quick service but outside of that the burgers aren't that tasty. They seemingly have unique ideas about them, but when played out it just isn't there. My guest also got 2 burgers and they had the same conclusion. It just seems to be poor execution of a good idea. The burgers were also very very well done which made the burgers tough. The fry's (we got 5 baskets total lol) were very similar. If I was to compare them, they are somewhere between Burger King quality and five guys. Not something I was amazed with. For over 12 dollars a burger there are soooo many better places. This was again, a good thought but poor execution. read more

2nd time's the charm! Great food and service! This was my second time here after the first being a multiple level disaster of an experience that was significant enough to me where I had no desire to come back for months. My first trip was a few days after the opening so perhaps worth forgetting that trip. A Yelp friend, Stephen W, wrote a great review and that convinced me to give it another try. There is plenty of parking in this strip mall shopping center. It is easy to find and has a fantastic patio with a wonderful view of the parking lot and setting sun! Indoors is cozy with a modern feel, lots of TV screens and a small bar. The bar has some wonderful local beers including my favorite, Lakewood Brewery's Temptress! Plus, this place is 1/2 mile from my house! Ordering can be done on line or at the order counter. I ordered from the office to pick up on the way home. The order was very well packed taking into account hot stuff, cold stuff and ensuring vents open for items that would get soggy or wilt. They have many interesting burgers to include a couple of vegetarian options! There are some great salads and some fun items for kids! There might some specials for seniors, but I refuse to be old enough to consider that possibility. I ordered the Down on the Farm burger, chocolate milkshake, cup of chili and an order of their thin onion rings that obviously were not good for me so I was absolutely thrilled with my choices! OH, I also ordered a side salad to appease my medical support team with something they might approve. The food was fantastic! The bun was tasty and the patty was perfectly cooked as ordered. It was well caramelized and was moist but not greasy. The high quality toppings were full of flavor! Crispy lettuce and gorgeous tomato slices. The onion rings were decadent! Right amount of spice and absolutely amazingly habit forming! The shake was creamy and smooth. The salad had a great tasty mix of greens and large enough to be quite healthy. The chili was greasy and would make the perfect chili pie as corn chips would suck up that grease. By the way they have chili pie on the menu. I'm certain it must be fantastic! Service was friendly, focused on customers and driven to exceed customer expectations. Prices were quite reasonable for a gourmet buger restaurant. I'll be back many more times! read more

Haystack never misses. Burgers are legit -- juicy, cooked right, and loaded with flavor without being over-the-top. The Haystack (with the fried onion strings) is my go-to, and the chipotle mayo ties it all together. Fries are solid, and if you're into local beer, they've got a good lineup. Service is fast, place is clean, and it's always consistent. Just an easy, reliable spot when you're craving a good burger and don't want to mess around. read more

Thoroughly enjoyed the burger and fries here. You get large portions here, and you can even split if you're moderately hungry. My mom and grandma split a burger, an order of fried pickles, and an order of fries. As for me, I devoured a whole turkey burger in my first visit, and I'm glad that I did. The meat was tender, and the bun was perfectly smashed down so you don't get a mouthful of bread in each bite. I'd visit this post again. read more

Wow, this place has excellent burgers! It's right up there with Hopdoddy and Stackhouse, maybe even better because it's closer and has ample parking. Lots of outside seating when the weather is nice. The restaurant is clean and modern. They have cloth napkins! And non-styrofoam plates. Metal knives and forks. Like an upscale restaurant, but it's burgers. About the burgers: excellent. Big, juicy, messy, stuff running down your arm good. My haystack was excellent and so filling. Very tasty. I would get that again in a heartbeat. The wife's Avocado burger was similarly big and tasty. The avocado was fresh and not spoiled. Impressive. The onion strings are excellent. The fries are crispy. Both were excellent. And they have beers! Not a huge selection but decent enough to find something to go with your burger. This place is a real find. It shoots to the top of my go-to burger joints. read more

LOVE Haystack!! I live that they have a veggie burger! They are always so good! We are inside and the place was clean. Our food came out super fast which was great because the kids were hungry. I didn't know how my nephews would respond to the kids cheeseburgers since they don't eat cheeseburgers often but the older one said it's the best he's ever had and the younger, pickier one ate more than expected. They wanted to go back the next day like I did my first time! Needless to say we'll be back! read more

The Haystack salads and burgers are our go to! Try the seasonable burgers for something different.

Very slow Tuesday 2:30 PM, 4 customers. I wanted to return here for the portobello mushroom burger! But, this time I switched to the meatless Portabello Sandwich, basically same as the hamburger without the beef patty. Did not work too well. This time the mushrooms were sliced much thinner, the inner ingredients: pickles, tomato were sliding around, got messy. Maybe switch to an artisan bread roll? Zucchini slices, instead of pickles? The Picnic Salad looked great! Then I sampled one of the "spiced pecans" and it was way too spicy, supposedly with black pepper, etc, etc. I grew up eating hot jalapeños, serranos, but this was different spicy. After removing the pecans, I put on the balsamic dressing, and it was a good salad. The dried cherries and shredded cheese were great flavors in this salad. Some red chili spicy croutons would do well in this. ***If you order this Picnic Salad, get the pecans on the side to begin with! Maybe it's me, and not you? I dunno, the 1st time was so good here, I should have known... read more

Bleh. It wasn't outstanding like I had heard. I expected more from the food. Service was okay. Nice but they never checked on us. Ambiance was incredibly serene and cozy. Overall bleh, read more

This place is great. Burgers are seasoned great and are made medium-medium well, so just ask if you want it prepared differently. Jack was awesome, he even went out of his way to get us condiments even though they're right there to get yourself (I'm blind, my bad ). At one point, these three little girls accidentally broke a pepper shaker and it was all cleaned up before anyone could notice. It was an awesome experience overall. They even gave us a little incentive to come back in the form of a coupon pack that you have to open when you come back, no sooner. Check it out, I think you'll be happy! read more

Great restaurant and food! Service was great and the establishment was spotless! Would definitely recommend this place!!!

I ordered my food through UberEats. I expected the food to be cold since it was delivery. No fault of the restaurant. The fries had a wonderful flavor, and my burger was absolutely delicious. I can only imagine how good it would've been had I gone in person. I'm ashamed of how much food I ate. Can't wait to visit Haystack and experience these burgers fresh off the grill. read more
