    You can tell JG's has a lot of history! They make hamburgers the old fashioned way and they are tasty! They even still have a salad bar to put your own toppings on your burger. I am glad that I live close by and can stop in more often! I would recommend if you are looking for a quick cheap place for a burger!

    Cheeseburgers!
    Colin S.

    Loved the ambiance of this place! It felt like its name, old fashioned. Counter service was convenient and the big menu above the counter was clear and easy to read. I think about these things now because my vision is starting to fail me and sometimes I literally cannot see the print on the menu board. I ordered a cheeseburger basket with fries and also onion rings on and a cherry fried pie. The burger was a solid classic no frills burger cooked to order and it was perfect. The fries are skin on and hand cut, with perfect crunch and soft interior. Your toppings are self service and lets you customize your burger however you want. I would have liked some jalapenos but they aren't available in the toppings bar. Great place and fun experience!

    Veggie Burger (10/10 delicious!) and tater tots :)
    Sage M.

    The girl with the curly hair at the counter was so kind and professional. Pulled out the ingredient list for the veggie burger for me. Explained the process for us! The ambience was nice, no blaring music or loud TVs. Good came out hot and very quick! The order was right. The tater tots were perfectly crispy and the veggie burger was the BEST one I've EVER had anywhere. It had a crisp outer edge and SO much flavor with an excellent flavor! The cheddar cheese on top was the icing on top and the Mayo at the bar was perfect on top of the crisp burger bun. This was an overall perfect experience with an amazing meal!! I can't wait to come back. I found my new burger place!

    Double Cheeseburger
    Karson M.

    I was very excited to try this place. My husband considers himself a hamburger expert. We often try new burger places and JG's was on our list. Today we tried it and sadly it wasn't as good as expected. The burger patties were very small compared to the buns. They also had a taste that I can't pinpoint. Almost like plastic? It was very expensive. $11 for a double cheeseburger. $16 for a meal. The worker taking our order wasn't friendly either. This place had a great atmosphere and I wanted it to be good so badly. Overall, It's up to you if you'd like to try this place but we won't be returning.

    ****** OMG - DON'T GO ****** I'm a huge foodie and cook - my only mission it to guide you to awesome food - and keep you away from the worst! This place has horrible food on any level. The meat is obviously preformed and frozen when it arrives. The shape, texture, inability to cook anything but well done... and absolutely NO FLAVOR in the meat tells me McDonald's has better flavored meat. (Not a compliment!) I've been 3 times over the years, each time... "ugh, why did I come back!" Well, this time I learned my lesson. I had sweats and horrible diarrhea from 3:30am until 7am... and yes I took meds at 3:30!!! No sleep during those hours - pissed me off to be exhausted at work!!! I felt like I was eating 'air'. The only flavor I could perceive was lettuce, ketchup, bacon, cheese and bread! Absolutely no beef flavor anywhere!!!! No grease because it was frozen and cooked well done. No salt/pepper or anything to say "I'm tasty" - REALLY?!?!!!!!! As though this wasn't enough, I cut my burger in 1/2 as usual to get a photo. Although the bun was cut in 1/2... the meat was a different story. (See photos) One half had almost NO MEAT... it was literally 2 bites and what remained was bread and toppings. The meat is 30% smaller than the bun!! What a joke for $15! I don't judge, but the clientele I saw has no concept of dining etiquette. People stood 4 inches from my table!!!! I felt like asking them if they were trying to sit with me! Disgusting and ruining my meal. Where do people learn such unacceptable behavior!! On the streets?!?!?!!! So, now on to the fries. Yes, they seem to be hand cut (through a slicer) with skins remaining, but they are generally soft and limply. If that's what you like - great. Personally, I expected very crispy fries that crunch when you eat them. (No way of getting that here.) And the worst part was the Coke fountain. The syrup was obvdialed back to increase profits. (It was not low syrup with high carbonation, it was less syrup!!!) It was horrible and I poured it out and went with' 'city water' from the tap. Ugh! So about 1/2 way through my burger I started to feel odd. A sour stomach of sorts. By the time I got to the end of the burger... I knew I was in for a bad GI episode and did not finish my meal. I left as fast as I could! You should do the same... or better yet - trust me and eat at McDonald's instead!!!! At least you will sleep through the night and avoid major GI issues!! Eat there are your own risk!!!

    This is the milkshakes on their website. Mine was the worst strawberry milkshakes ever, I didn't even finish it :(

    Worst $6 "Strawberry" Milkshake Ever It was pulled from a below-counter cooler, and tasted more like freezer burn than vanilla, much less Strawberry.

    Passing thru Dallas Texas and stopped to eat at this place and this was the best homemade hamburger I have tasted in a long time. The buns were put on the grill also and fries were very crispy

    My bestie recommended this restaurant, so we decided to check it out with a party of three around 7…read morep.m. We did make a reservation, which turned out to be a great idea because it was fairly busy when we arrived and most of the tables were already full. Thanks to the reservation, we were seated right away and immediately greeted by our server, who was honestly amazing from start to finish. She was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience feel effortless. We kicked things off with drinks. I started with an espresso martini, and it was really, really good--smooth, balanced, and exactly what I was hoping for. For my second drink, I tried the smoked Old Fashioned from their holiday menu. It was good, but I'll be honest, it was extremely strong. Like, really strong. In general, their drinks definitely pack a punch, so that's something to keep in mind when ordering. For my entrée, I ordered the Mediterranean smoked chicken salad, and wow. It was hands down one of the best salads I've ever had in my life. Everything was perfectly balanced, flavorful, and satisfying, and it didn't feel like a "boring" salad at all. It was so good that I already know I'll be coming back specifically for that dish, though I'm also curious to try more of the menu next time. Overall, this place absolutely lived up to the recommendation. Great service, strong drinks, and standout food. I'll definitely be back.

The layout feels open and comfortable, and the overall vibe is upbeat without being overwhelming. That said, service on arrival could use some attention. There was a noticeable gap at the host stand with several guests waiting and no staff in sight, which set a slightly off first impression. Once seated, though, the experience improved. Ally at the bar stood out right away. Friendly, attentive, and welcoming, she helped turn the visit around and made the experience feel more personal. She did come back to check in later, which was appreciated and helped round out the service. On the food and drink side, they carry Manhattan Project Beer Company's Half-Life, which is a big win and pairs exceptionally well with the French dip. The sandwich itself is flavorful and satisfying. The fries were a bit on the softer side, so if you prefer them crispy, I'd definitely recommend asking for them extra crispy when ordering. Overall, Thirsty Lion has a lot going for it. Great atmosphere, solid menu, and standout staff like Ally. With a little more consistency at the front of house, this place easily moves from good to great.

First up, the pirogies--holy moly, these little pockets of joy were just unreal. Perfectly soft, stuffed to the brim, and fried up just right. I'm pretty sure if my tasted these, she'd give a polite nod and say, "Not bad, eh?" Then came the pot roast poutine, and let me tell ya--this isn't just food, it's a life experience. You've got those crispy fries, squeaky cheese curds (as they should be, eh!), and gravy so rich it could probably pay rent in Toronto. And then--BAM--tender pot roast on top. I nearly stood up and sang "O Canada," no joke. Now the Canadian Eggs Benedict? Ohhh, beauty. The peameal bacon was thick, juicy, and cooked just right, sittin' pretty under those poached eggs with hollandaise sauce that was smoother than a fresh sheet of ice. Absolute perfection, eh. And don't even get me started on the everyday breakfast. Classic, hearty, and no funny business--just how we like it. Eggs done right, toast that actually tastes like toast (imagine that!), and portions big enough to fuel ya through a full day of shovelin' snow... or, you know, strolling around Dallas. All in all, Maple Leaf Diner absolutely crushed it. Let me tell ya, the service was so fast and smooth, I thought I was dreaming eh. Great food, friendly vibes, and enough Canadian charm to make ya wanna say "sorry" when someone else bumps into you. 10/10, would recommend--now pass the syrup, eh?

Often times after it's all said & done, you wonder - was that worth it? Thankfully, that is NOT the experience I had at Haywire! I ate here on August 9th, 2025 and enjoyed everything about it. I was with a large party but would love to return for a more intimate experience. On this Saturday, my younger cousin was graduating from Parker University so I was in town for the weekend. At around 1pm, I was one of the first to arrive at the restaurant. Unfortunately the parking is a bit confusing. There was construction being done on the same street when I went but there's a parking garage for customers that's difficult to navigate AND the elevator that connects wasn't operating at the time which was an issue for many (but not me, I got a good spot & walked). My party hadn't all arrived yet so I took a gander. Upon entering the tall doors, the space breathes southwestern elegance: wooden structure, leather seating, separate dining areas with highlighted ranch-style art. The abundance of space gives it an open-concept feel. The lighting fixtures are modern, the space was dim but not too low, with an option to utilize the large windows also. I was quiet impressed at the overall presentation. When my party did arrive, I wanted to keep it simple so I ordered the Chicken Cobb Salad and a Hibiscus Haze with Vodka. The table shmoozed as we ate some of the appetizers: the Crab Dip & Green Tomatoes, both amazing. The food did take some time but, considering it was 10-12 of us, that's expected. The Hibiscus Haze was splendid: smooth & flavorful, a great concoction. Cobb salads are usually pretty thick but this one was HEARTY. It came in a large bowl stuffed with the all the toppings. The dressing it was tossed with was well balanced but could've used a tad bit more. With some pepper & a little ranch, I was set! I defeated the salad but it also left me stuffed to the gills. Satisfying meal that I would order again! There are tons of restaurants to dine at in Dallas & sometimes you never know which is worth your time. Despite the inconvenience of parking, I'd bet my bottom dollar that this is a good place to eat. Whether you want a fine dining experience, it's a special occasion or just want a good drink with a meal, Haywire has enough to satisfy all interests.

Knowledgeable about the menu & great recommendations. Kev was a joy to have as our server. The food is amazing & love the ambiance of the restaurant. My only complaint...we came in early Saturday prior to Stars game. The restaurant wasn't busy at all. We were asked if we had a reservation. We did not, the restaurant wasn't busy at all. We were asked to wait. Waited maybe 5-10mins. No biggie, A lot of open tables were available for immediate sit down. Again that wasn't a big deal. I had asked for a booth & wanted to sit in front room. The hostess said no a problem. She handed us off to a younger hostess and she took us to a table. I told her I had requested a booth. In the front room only 3 tables were occupied. I pointed out the booth and she said that's for party of 6. However, we could have the 1/2 table/booth. Made absolutely no sense because that was for a party of 6 as well. I made this comment & she just stared at me without saying a word. I didn't want to seem difficult and took the table as she just walked away. Kev was confused as we were. No good communication skills. It was an awkward encounter. The restaurant wasn't busy at all & never was whole time there. Kev wasn't sure why she didn't move us a requested & was puzzled himself. However i apologized to him & explained I wasn't trying to be difficult, but prefer booth sitting and most times we will wait for one. We left at 1:45p and restaurant was no busier than when we arrived. Reservation/Booth or not! I guess saying all of this, your front staff need to have more people skills when dealing with your customers. They are the face and first point of contact. Again Kev was amazing & food was outstanding!
