    The interior of the bottom floor (view of the kitchen)
    Love P.

    I always have great service at Haywire. Brunch has become one of my favorite times to go. The kolaches are fantastic. Their queso and jalapeño gravy are both Lactaid-worthy from my perspective. The interior design definitely fits the vibe of the restaurant.

    Cobb salad with beef tallow French fries

    I got the cobb salad with beef tallow fries. Salads great as usual and could taste the beef tallow with the first half then I couldn't taste it Staff are friendly as always and the vibes vary - tent ok roof, dark inside, balcony. Lost track of how many times I've been here, ha.

    Chips and queso

    Was meeting someone for the first time here for drinks. Not even sure how I blurted out the statement, but I told the bartender, Austin, that I was meeting someone for the first time. No idea what he looked like, age, like literally nothing. So I told him the whole back story. And Austin assured me that he had my back, that he was committed, if something went off kilter, that I would give him a look and he would understand the assignment. I think Austin even stayed a little past his shift to make sure I was good. And I just want to shout out to Austin on Thursday afternoon working the bar. First of all, you're a Saint. Thank you. I appreciate you. And secondly, you made one of the best mojito's I've ever had. But seriously, Austin, thank you so much!! I also ordered chips and queso. Which was fabulous. I wish the chips were a little thicker, the queso is thick and rich and the chip breaks when scooping it up. But overall, fantastic. If you haven't been to Haywire, please book mark it. Food is great. Drinks are great. Service has been outstanding, and it's just country chic inside with the crystal chandeliers. So how did this meet up go? It was good. We laughed and had drinks.

    Chicken fried chicken

    Love the vibe here. The decor is very charming and pretty. Service was great. King and Bonnie were our servers and they were amazing and attentive while also making solid recommendations. We had the chicken fried chicken and everything was perfect. We also shared the cornbread and that's not to be missed. Can't wait to come back and try more things.

    Came for a birthday dinner. Got 5 star treatment from our amazing server Whitney! Ask for Whitney when you go. She's top notch. Walking in is a wonderful experience. The chandeliers on the first floor set the tone. We dined upstairs. It's much darker tones still elegant also. Haywire was great in accommodations for dietary restrictions, thank you! So we had the chicken, ribeye and chicken fried steak. The chicken was so moist and wonderfully seasoned and cooked. The fries were not too hard or too greasy, just right. The chicken fried steak was thick and tender. It had breading but the breading did not take over the entree. The mashed potatoes so nice and fluffy. The ribeye was perfectly cooked at medium rare and the asparagus was the perfect size. Our table was brought a wonderful croissant bread pudding! A treat for the taste buds! Again, I cannot say enough for Whitney. The ONLY complaint I have is there no sound buffering items on the walls or rugs. We truly had a hard time hearing each other and fully enjoy the birthday. Several times Whitney had to repeat herself, because it was so loud. She was very kind about it. If dining upstairs I would not recommend for a romantic date night. It was disappointing not being able to really have a family talk, we were only a table of 4. Other than that, it was great.

    My family and I went here today from Easter brunch. I will say we made a reservation and was taken care of as soon as we came in, however we were there about 40 to 45 minutes before our food was on the table. The food was good but room temperature and not really even warm. My daughter got a burger and the bun was soggy when it arrived. Makes you think it had been ready for a little while. The food still tasted good, but not its best and not anything like it has been in the couple of other times we came. I had the Ranch Hand Breakfast. Good but not great! The astetics are still amazing, however so are sunsets on the lake. Im not so sure when I'll come back. The first time I was here, it was much busier and the service was faster and a lot better.

    Side house salad
    Christina G.

    This was my first time here and Y'all, everything was great! The service, food and vibe all hit tha spot! I did make a resy for 3 at 6:30p on a Thursday. Because they do get busy. Our server was training a new server and they did such a great job together. Attentive ,friendly, and knowledgeable. She recommended a Cabernet and it was so good! We started with the pita crab dip and I really liked it. Not fishy at all. Great mushroom and crab flavor. I was happy to learn that you can order side versions of the salads with your dinner. So I had the side house salad and it was absolutely delicious. I really enjoyed the honey dressing. I also ordered the metal Dinner. The the flavor was good but I don't think I will order it again. I like traditional metal and this was not it. The meatloaf was molded and looked like it came out of a TV dinner. Just my opinion. I did ask for ketchup because it comes with a verde. Again, good flavor just not traditional. Anywho, them we got to dessert! The server brought out a complimentary bread pudding dessert since we were celebrating birthdays. That bread pudding and ice cream was the star!!! Delicious!!! All that to say, I'm glad I tried Haywire! We had a great experience and will be back to try more from the menu.

    I met a Yelp friend for dinner at Haywire as they were hosting their cowgirl dinner including Caesar salad, steak, house fries and a martini (lemon drop) for $30. Usually, food at Haywire is exceptionally good. Tonight, perhaps due to the mass production of the cowgirl dinner, the quality of the food was sub-optimal. The steak was rubbery and hard to eat (only ate one piece). The fries were cold when initially served and the replacement fries were not hot either. The Cesar salad served was not at all like the ceasar salad normally served at Haywire (lettuce was not fresh and crisp). Net, net, I ate very little of my food. I have decided at this stage of my life, if the food is not good, I will not force myself to eat it. The lemon drop martini was nicely prepared and enjoyable to drink. We also ordeedr the crab dip which was nicely prepared. Sergio, our server, occasionally came to our table to check on us, but not to the level that servers at Haywire normally do. The best part of the meal was visiting with my friend.

    P.R. L.

    What a great experience Sunday night with some high level service and food. Maddie (could butcher the spelling as there's many versions) was attentive and helpful all night long. The food was fun, tasty, cooked perfectly and full of flavor. It was a night that was worth mentioning to Keith the manager for such a great offering. We will return.

    This place is toooooo cute. It was my birthday (6/1) and Hubby made reservations for a booth. We had a great server and food was GOOD!!! The bread pudding was the best part!!! Our food was excellent too lol

    Stopped in for a drink at the bar while shopping...had a great experience!! Dre, the bartender was amazing!! He was friendly and upbeat. He brightened my day. I guess the fries and vodka did too. Lol! He works mornings during the week. You should definitely go see him!

    Cowgirl dinner
    Kia L.

    Haywire is offering a lovely special for the month of March in honor of international women's day! The special was a play on the viral "girl dinner" trend and Hayward's version is steak, mini caesar, fries and a lemon drop ($30) myself and two friends came tonight to catch up and enjoy what was supposed to be a good meal. Let's start with the good. This place is beautiful and very well decorated! Wonderful place for a date night or meeting friends. Now onto the food. To be honest it was awful. The steak was rubbery and didn't taste like real meat.. the fries were good but so are McDonald's fries. I would be concerned if even the fries weren't made well...The salad was not fresh. On top of that our waiter was rude. The lemon drop arrived to me less than half way full although it was good. I can see the potential, but it's so shameful that service was crummy and the food I tried tonight was lackluster. The menu is expansive and I would come back to try their regular food as one of my friends tried the catfish and her food was actually fresh!

    Southern with a Domain twist. Haywire feels like a fun, lowkey spot to grab drinks or a meal at while still being central to shops and other places in The Domain. Parking is easy to find with a small garage around the corner or the much larger red garage right down the street. We made a reservation for 4, which we were seated about 10-15 minutes late. The place was very packed and workers were moving quickly but being late for your reservation on the restaurant's fault is a ding for us. When we were seated we ordered quickly and our waitress was nice, giving us details about her growing up in Louisiana. We ordered the chicken fried steak with sides of brussel sprouts and creamy cajun corn and also a double cheeseburger with mac and cheese and onion rings. The chicken fried steak was good but the breading was very light, falling apart with every cut into it. The flavor was still very good though. The sides of creamy cajun corn and brussel sprouts were fantastic, popping with flavor and texture. The cheeseburger was also a hit, well balanced and savory. The mac and cheese and onion rings were similarly well received. We were brought out a special birthday dessert of whiskey bread pudding that was the hit of the night for everyone. It was moist and sugary, such a good way to end a savory meal. The only hiccup during service was one of our party members' burgers coming with the wrong toppings, which they corrected by quickly preparing a new one. Despite that, Haywire is one of the better dinner options in The Domain. From its atmosphere to food and service, it touches on all the things necessary to have a good time. Considering its look and location the prices are also fair and warrant a serious look for anyone looking for a higher end date night or dinner. This is somewhere we will definitely be coming back to.

Located off Anderson Mill in the corner of a strip mall is a bookshelf with a door on the right side. If you cannot figure out the entrance, there is a doorbell to ring as well. I believe it is owned by the same people who own The Mill bar right next door, which makes it feel like a cool bonus space. My friend and I sat next to a faux fireplace, where we were greeted by the only bartender working and placed our order. Once he opened the tab, it was disappointing that he never came back to check if we wanted another drink. It wasn't super busy on the Monday we went, but since he was the only one manning the bar, the bartender was always doing something, so I don't blame him fully for not checking back in with us. I ordered a drink called the Velvet Vice. It looked nothing like the picture and tasted similar to an Aviation cocktail with egg whites. I happened to really like it. It is a very relaxed space, but once the speakeasy gimmick wears off, it does not have much else going for it. It is still a cool place, but I am not sure it was worth the lengthy drive to get there.

Drinks are expensive and served in what feels like miniature target brand, low-quality glasses, which makes the value proposition hard to justify the steep $14 price. The atmosphere is where it really falls apart. The space is set up like a bright, casual brunch hall rather than a cocktail bar--harsh, bright lighting, uncomfortable wooden chairs, and basic wooden square tables that don't align with the concept AT ALL. There's no food offering, yet the environment feels designed for daytime dining rather than an evening bar experience. From a design and hospitality standpoint, it's difficult to understand how this made it to opening in its current state. Even a VERY basic understanding of lighting and ambiance would suggest this setup is fundamentally mismatched--ESPECIALLY for something like a date night. If you're looking for a comfortable or intimate setting, this is NOT it. You'd honestly have a better experience sitting outside a gas station with a 6-pack of Coors Light.

For reasons that make no sense to any experienced summer festival-goer, the Q2 powers-that-be decided to make this a "no re-entry" event, meaning that attendees are basically locked in the stadium with very few options for relief from the heat. Thank heaven for PointsBet Sports Bar! PointsBet Austin is located inside of Q2 stadium on the north end near the Zebra Gate, up some stairs just to your right as you enter the gate. They have cold air-conditioning, at least one phone recharging station, a few table games, seating for at least 50 people, and standing room for a couple hundred others. Plus, there's a huge horseshoe bar serving plenty of canned and mixed beverages. The whole north wall is floor-to-ceiling windows, providing plenty of natural light. Lastly, there are 18 flatscreens around the walls showing various sporting events and during our concert, a couple were streaming a live view of the concert stage. As expected, prices were "high" (like everything else in Austin these days), but they were in line with pricing available at the other beverage stands outside in the stadium, so we didn't pay any more than we would have out there for the same drink. According to their website, PointsBet opens 3 hours before soccer matches on regular Q2 game days, and it's one of the few air-conditioned places where non-VIP attendees can get a break from the goings-on outside.

As for the salmon, it wasn't overly seasoned and was incredibly flaky. It was a good size as well. For breakfast, The Breakfast Plate's eggs were cooked perfectly with appropriately cooked bacon. I enjoyed the potatoes that accompanied it as well. The Buttermilk Pancakes meal was a failure though. The pancakes were gooey inside. My server, Amy, offered to have them remade, but I declined the offer. So I accepted a parfait, which was easily one of the best I've had in Austin. The granola with the berries were perfectly balanced, and the granola wasn't super chunky. Amy was 100% invested in my meal satisfaction. The dining room is quite pretty with lovely set tables. Every time I ate, I felt a tad underdressed! But they don't care if you're comfortably casual, and i saw a family with small children looking very relaxed and vacationy and they were welcome.
