    Mediterranean Frittata
    Sean C.

    Good spot to come to grab food before going out for drinks or to grab a good burger after drinking a lot. Went for brunch so got the mimosa tower and the frittata. The food was good and everything in the frittata tasted fresh.

    Buttoned Up Jack Burger + Side Salad
    Kevin Z.

    Nice vibe, pretty good price. I was looking for a good burger today, and this place did not disappoint. If you're a fan of a sesame bun, I thought this one was quite good. The buttoned up jack was a nice juicy burger with good onions, cheese, and mushrooms. I got the side salad which was $1.50 extra and asked for caesar dressing. I thought the dressing was pretty odd - it was sorta chunky and not like other caesar dressings I've had before. Wouldn't personally recommend it. I'm not a fan of potato chips being the default side while french fries are $1.25 extra, but overall the pricing here is pretty good so I don't mind. Waiter was nice, check is done via mobile device rather than paper, so pretty efficient.

    Came here for drinks on a weekend night with some friends. The margarita was great, not too sweet. We sat outside on the patio towards the corner back. Our server made sure to take our orders in a timely matter and check up on us throughout the night. He also let us know when last calls Were being taken before close time. He also got some fries to share, which were really filling and yummy. Would come back for sure.

    Had brunch with some friends and enjoyed it! This place is very affordable too! Ordered the eggs my way dish, which was only $9 and very filling! Had 2 over easy eggs with 2 pieces of bacon, some toast, and some potatoes, which were really well seasoned! Our waitress was very attentive and sweet! The inside is very modern and colorful, with lots of seating: booth and bar. The outdoor patio also has lots of table seating, and it is fully covered! Bathrooms are super clean. Highly recommend this spot for brunch!

    Servers are very kind and patient. Willing to answer any silly questions we had. Nothing beats a specialty shot with skittles

    OG Cheese Fries
    Konnori B.

    I have never had Roy G's before despite living right by it for so long! Last Friday night, it was time to visit and see what it was about! Upon entering, you seat yourself and a server will come to you (which they did pretty quickly). The atmosphere is relaxing and reminiscent of an LGBT bar, similar to Hamburger Mary's but toned down a little. All of the drinks are pretty strong. The pink-ish one was very refreshing, while the blue one is a strong frozen lemonade. It is definitely bitter and not sweet, so be warned if you're not a fan of that! The margarita was great tasting and had a nice spicy kick to it! The cheese fries were great and priced well for a half order ($7) with a generous amount. My only critique is that their actual fries have seasoning on them, and I wish that could have been added on the cheese fries. I'd still eat them again though! Now for the best part: the burgers. What came on it was Gorgonzola cheese, onion rings, and caramelized onions; I got a beyond patty with mine and added "G sauce," which is like a chipotle mayo. This burger was amazing! I loved how crispy the patties were which I haven't experienced since eating plant-based burgers! The fries, as mentioned earlier, have great seasoning on them. I couldn't stop eating! Service was great as it always is on the strip on Cedar Springs! Overall, I am going to have to return here and get more food and drinks because everything was all priced well, not to mention it was great! Roy G's did not disappoint, and I will definitely be back for more!

    Soft pretzels and espresso martini
    Michael C.

    Cute little bar. When we went in there was almost no one in there and the music was really quiet, which made the atmosphere awkward. We were just snacking, so we ordered soft pretzels and espresso martinis. Given that we were like 50% of the people in there, I was shocked by how long it took to get our food and drinks (and later on, our second drinks). The pretzels got rock hard fast and the martinis tasted like burned cigarettes.

    What a difference a few years have made. I've been back a couple of times recently and I couldn't be happier. The fried mushrooms are amazing and so are the burgers. Great service and ambiance.

    Buttoned up Jack Burger with Fries
    Shayla N.

    Hello? If you're in the neighborhood, you have to come here. Especially on a weekday, stress days, in the afternoon, about 3-6pm. When you come, you'll definitely see me here for their $5 burger deal + sides!!!! Besides the affordability, the drinks and food taste so gooooood. Man, I can another Winterberry Twist. Let me give you the run down of my experience. It's not a super busy place, luckily. It feel so comfortable to come with your friends and gosssip. That's what I did and we stayed for 3 hours. The food: Buttonup Jack - the bomb dot com. I love mushrooms and this is the burger for me. It's well made and only freaking $5!! You're crazy if you don't eat here. The fries was part of the deal too and that is seriously enough for dinner. Fried Mushroom - all I got to say is finally! I found a place that sells actual fried mushroom that taste like mushroom more than dough. It's good. $9 is plenty of mushroom. It's enough to take home and air fry for later. Winterberry - yum. It's super sweet with a nice punch of liquor. Will order again. By the way, if you don't tip, you're also crazy because the service there is so nice. Everyone is super friendly. They refilled my water without me knowing and I talk a lot. Fully appreciate it

    Our cold cheese fries we endured to ignore waiting for a longer period of time
    Vick V.

    The waiter took our drink order for us not to get it. But all of the tables around us got their drinks. After 35 minutes, we said to cancel them because it was obvious we weren't getting them. He said okay, and didn't even seem to mind. He has glasses and seems like he's in his 20's-30's. So many tables he was serving got their drinks and food before us, and they arrived after us with more people than we had at our table. Our food came out only when he looked at us after 30 minutes and went to the kitchen. I got the grilled cheese and the soup, which were barely warm. My friend got the chicken sandwich and cheese fries, which weren't even warm. After multiple times of coming here, I expected the service I received before. I will NOT be coming back to Roy G's. After all these years. Terrible. I'm so disappointed. Don't come here. They've apparently changed employees and only care about a certain demographic.

    Mimosa Tower!
    Parker G.

    Roy G's was a blast! We came here on Sunday for some mimosa fun and didn't regret it one bit. It's in Cedar Springs, a great area for the LGBT community to hangout and have fun. There's both an interior dining space and an enclosed patio area that we sat at. It was very relaxing and fun. Our server was awesome! We had some great conversations with him and he was super friendly! It also didn't take long to get our food or anything else that we needed once we asked. The mimosa tower here was so much fun!!! I haven't seen something like it before, and we had a blast using it to have a bunch of mimosas. They had several different flavors, so we decided to give pineapple and cranberry a try. The food here was also delicious - I loved my caprese panini, and the Buffalo bites appetizer was also really yummy. Reasonable prices - no complaints! I have nothing but good things to say about Roy G's, especially because of the super fun mimosa tower and the really friendly service. Coming here for brunch was a really unique experience that I thoroughly enjoyed. I definitely recommend experiencing this place!

    The rainbow
    Sheng H.

    Came on a Saturday for a late brunch. Didn't do any reservations so we were seated outside. It was a nice day, so I didn't mind it. Of course I got the rainbow shots for IG purposes only, the drinks were not my most favorite. Egg Benedict was amazing!! I highly recommended Roy G's was good, so I will go back. I can't wait to try more of their drinks

I just got the burger as it came, it seemed like it would be good as is. And it was! Had a spicy kick as you'd expect. It was very busy when I was there so there was a bit of a wait for orders to be taken and for the food to come out however, again, it was pretty packed so I'm not gonna begrudge anyone some delays when things are busy. I sat outside as it was a nice evening albeit slightly chilly and I didn't have a sweatshirt or jacket but that's my own fault. I'd definitely go again but I would also definitely get something other than the Hot Bastard - not because there was anything wrong with the Hot Bastard it's just the are so many good looking burgers on the menu I want to diversify!!!

The burger was juicy and the sweet potato fries were solid. They've got an amazing diverse burger menu and I can see why it's a local favorite. Would definitely come back again.

It just didn't seem to be anything over the top special so I would rather order something else as an app. My husband ordered the fried chicken and I got the Crispy Chicken Katsu.

    I'll start with a positive -- the appetizers were actually quite good. The deviled eggs, dragon…read moreroll, and pigs in a blanket were all tasty, and that's honestly the highlight of our visit. Unfortunately, everything else was a struggle from the moment we walked in. We didn't have reservations, but eventually found seats at the bar. Given how busy the place was, we figured the bar would mean faster, more attentive service. We were very wrong. We ordered two beers, a non-alcoholic drink, and three appetizers. The drinks arrived, and the appetizers followed about 10 minutes later -- fine so far. But there were no utensils. We had to ask for them, and we asked for plates as well, which never came. The empty dishes from our appetizers sat in front of us for a solid hour with no one clearing them. The bartender who took our order never once checked on us. With 3-4 people working behind the bar, only one server approached us during the entire 40-minute wait between appetizers and dinner to ask if we needed anything. The bartender told us twice that our food was "coming out shortly" -- and still, 40 minutes passed. When dinner finally arrived, my order was wrong. I ordered the Mongolian Short Rib, listed clearly under the Entree section of the menu. The bartender claimed I had ordered off a "happy hour" menu -- one I never saw or was told about -- and had swapped it for BBQ Pork Ribs without saying a word. Knowing a replacement could take another hour, my friend swapped plates with me and took the ribs. He had ordered the steak frites, which, for a rare steak, should have taken no more than 5-6 minutes to prepare. The third entree, fish and chips, was just okay -- a bit soggy and not particularly fresh. To top it all off, after everything we dealt with, the bartender never asked how our meal was or if we needed anything else. The food has potential, but the service was inattentive, disorganized, and frankly unacceptable for a busy restaurant that should know better.

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.

    WILL NEVER BE BACK!…read more HATED. EVERY. MOMENT. OF. THIS. PISS. POOR. EXPERIENCE. EVERY. SINGLE. MOMENT. VALET. NOT. FREE. I called before deciding where to eat on a Sunday afternoon to confirm parking situations. Parking is not easy downtown so this played a huge factor in figuring where, out of the dozens of brunch places, to eat. Definitely a bit of a walk to get accommodated at the actual restaurant so valet seemed the most reasonably enticing for parking solutions. Well, I called and spoke with the lady at the front desk. I confirmed with this little girl FOUR TIMES IF 1. They had valet available today 2. If it was complimentary. Come to find out it was not complimentary. And $7 for parking just doesn't sit well with me when there are ample free options else where with satisfying beverage, meal, ambiance, and service. All of which, I DID NOT GET AT HAYWIRE. I come in and although I had a reservation that I was 10 minutes early for while noticing tables available, I was told by that same girl who lied to me about parking I needed to take a seat. Reassuring me that it would only take two minutes to be seated. 10 minutes later I see coupled and groups walking in and guess what? They were immediately sat. While I am waiting to be sat at one of the three clean tables I'm staring at. I finally tell my boyfriend I am about to eat at the bar and he goes to the hostess stand to inform them our frustration and guess what? We were sat immediately. I get seated and there are two standing fans placed next to my table that's blowing my hair all over the f*****g place. I had to tell them to turn them off. What? No AC in this place either?? We immediately ordered and got the elk tacos for an appetizer. The tacos are WAY too spicy and way too salty. Too spicy AND too salty?? They're a no for me. You literally can't taste anything because of both! I HATED these little tacos. Probably the worst I've ever had. Ever seen someone attempt to pinch a bit of salt to season and the entire top comes off?? These tacos. My boyfriend had the chicken fried steak. He loved it (loves spicy and seasonings because he's Cajun) but I tried it and it was over seasoned. Again? Couldn't taste what I was eating. The mashed potatoes were divine. Enjoyed those! And then the green beans were tasteless. Hahaha what a joke. I ordered the barbacoa chilaquiles and it was literally too spicy to eat. Inedible. My eyes teared up, my nose started running, and I couldn't taste anything after a couple bites of the spice. I was so f*****g over this place I just ate my boyfriend's mashed potatoes and we left.
