    crawfish beignets
    Tanera J.

    Havent been here in a while and went back with my homegirl recently. I tried the chargrilled oysters, the wings, crawfish beignets, and a mixed daiquiri. The food was actually pretty good like I remember. My friend enjoyed her crawfish as well. Our drinks were also strong. I got Julies pimp cup sub gin for tequilla and it was straight tequilla I suppose because I didnt taste anything else lol. The vibes were great when we went and there was a dj. I really enjoyed myself and will def come back to try more menu items. The service was also great!

    The crawfish here is really good. Closest I can get to the quality back in Louisiana so it hits the spot. The shrimp were a little hard to peel. Seemed a little overcooked but still good flavor.

    Jambalaya egg rolls and frozen daiquiri

    I went to this place on a whim for happy hour on a Thursday. I had so much fun! The happy hour food and drinks selections are really good. I started with the eggrolls and a frozen cocktail. The staff was great. The server was really nice. On Thursdays, they have a DJ and karaoke. This is when the fun started. After a couple of drinks/shots and a little more food, the place was alive ! I enjoyed the diversity of the customers. The icing on the cake was hearing a few kids perform karaoke to their favorite songs. Can't wait to go back.

    Happy hour menu

    10/10 I recommend! They have a happy hour Monday through Friday I believe until 6 or 7! $6 wells and many other drink deals $4 jambalaya egg rolls and other food items. The service is very attentive and quick! If you happen to not like something they are very flexible with switching something out! The uptown oysters are not on Happy hour and I see why it's so delicious they can't give that way at a deal! I usually order the same thing everytime and the uptown oysters are on that list! As well as the seafood egg rolls are delicious, they have a Cajun flavor and the sauce is to die for with a little spice! I also get this every visit. The jambalaya egg rolls are on the happy hour, four dollars it's worth to try. It's too spicy for me but I still say try it for your self. The ambiance is a very relaxed environment! I also always get the hurricane everytime, 2 to be exact! That's all you need. They are $10. The alligator dog is also delicious, I didn't get a pic of it because I ate it too quickly lol . On my last visit I got the hot sausage, I wasn't a fan I'll still to my gator dogs! See you soon!!

    I went to grad school in Louisiana. I don't remember much about what I learned there. But I do remember how much I enjoyed Cajun food! A good friend of mine from Louisiana recommended me this place. So I felt pretty good to try it out. I ordered two pounds of crawfish with potatoes and corn. I did take-out to avoid the crowd. I loved the crawfish! It was so delicious - fresh, spicy, and savory. They did tossed in a couple of "jumbo" crawfish! We also liked the corn, but the potatoes were a bit bland. The place is not too big, but all the patrons seemed to be enjoying the food. The decor is very New Orleans. I'd love to come back and try the other items, like the charbroiled oysters, poboys, jambalaya, beignets. P.s. Come on (Tasty) Tuesday. Crawfish is just $7.99/lb. What a deal!

    When I read the menu of this place, I was so excited to go and try so many different things because everything sounded so good. But that was shortly lived. The ambience of the place was average Wood. You typically will see like a Cajun restaurant it was packed. Unfortunately the service was not good. I'm sorry the hosts had us confused with another person and told us she gave our table away because she called and we didn't answer. Sorry, but there are multiple people in this world named Erica so she completely had the wrong number when we verified the telephone number in the wrong party. Once we were seated, the waitress was not the friendliest person. We had a party of five and it was all of our first time being there so we were asking what are the favorites that she recommends and she was very dry and basically was like whatever you want. She made us feel like we were getting on her nerves or she was irritated with the day and was ready to go. I get that you're working in front face customer service and sometimes people may not be as nice but every new customer should be treated fairly. We wanted to try everything and unfortunately for me the food just tasted hot like they mix a lot of different hot sauces together to call it cajun and everything was nasty to me other than the hush puppies and the oysters. I forgot to take pictures of the noodles. They were not good at all and also the shrimp we had got a pound with the seasoning and it wasn't the greatest. I don't ever foresee myself going there again and we went on happy hour and I was mad that I spent $60!

    Back again and I was not disappointed. Jseca was our server and she was so kind! Melony the manager also stopped by our table to make sure we had everything we needed.

    Crawfish Nola style

    It's crawfish season & Tasty Tails is my favorite place to get my crawfish fix. I came on a Tuesday because you can't beat 7.99/lb crawfish. To get the price, you have to get it NOLA style & even though I love the butte sauce, the NOLA just hits. Without all the butter, you really get to enjoy the crawfish and the seasoning that the crawfish gets soaked into. It's spicy and I can literally just sit there & eat 10 pounds. Unfortunately, I did not eat 10 pounds but I did get 2 lbs to go & it was even better the next day. I went during happy hour & got boiled shrimp & seafood egg rolls (not on the happy hour menu but definitely worth full price). The egg rolls are hearty and so good with all the cheese & seafood. Definitely recommend. Their oysters are bomb too. Our server, Amanda, was super attentive & friendly. Julie also stopped by our table & gave us great service. Even though it's just the beginning of the season, the crawfish were good size. Can't wait until Tuesday again to enjoy more crawfish.

    Second time. Kinda hungry! lol

    This place doesn't miss honestly 10/10! Brought my dad here for Father's Day 2025 since we always liked seafood! Service was very attentive. Atmosphere definitely gave a bit of New Orleans madigras!

    Best thing on menu... beignet sticks
    Michelle K.

    I'm born n raised in New Orleans.... Had an oyster poboy... nothing like New Orleans style and flavor... I am very disappointed! WE DO NOT EVER COUNT THE PIECES OF SHRIMP OR OYSTERS ... rule 1. Great Ambience for drinks but not enough flavor to make me wanna come back!!!

    Traditional Charbroiled Oysters (Happy Hour)
    Michelle C.

    After hearing rave reviews from colleagues, I finally had a chance to visit Tasty Tails, and I'm glad I did! Although the crawfish boil was out of season, we were excited to explore the menu, especially since it was happy hour. French Quarter Fries: Flavorful but a bit on the salty side. The seasoning is tasty, but it might be a bit much for some. Traditional Charbroiled Oysters: These were decent and met expectations but didn't stand out. Jambalaya Eggrolls: These were surprisingly good. Some reviews mentioned they lacked flavor, but I think that's just the nature of jambalaya. The accompanying sauce was a great touch! Walk It Like a Dog (Gator Dog): It was okay--couldn't really discern the gator flavor. It's a solid hot dog but nothing extraordinary. NOLA Pasta: This was off the happy hour menu but a real highlight. Rich and flavorful, it was definitely a standout. The ambiance was authentically Cajun, with vibrant decor that brought a touch of Louisiana to the place. The service was excellent--Vietnamese-owned with a Cajun twist, and the staff-the three girls that helped us were all very attentive, helpful, and kind! Especially the blonde with piercings, was incredibly friendly and helpful-thanks to her we got to try the jambalaya egg rolls which we actually had initially passed on. Overall, Tasty Tails offers a great experience, particularly during happy hour. Even outside of those hours, it's worth a visit. Highly recommended!

    On the bright side, I love the environment here! When you enter, you're greeted by a beautiful, colorful mural of all things New Orleans. There are beads dangling from the ceiling, and lots of other small decor that recreates that comforting feeling of New Orleans that everyone loves. The music is lively. They play both old and new school R&B, which I love! I sang along to every song while I waited for my food. The staff was also kind. Our food didn't take long to come out either. On the contrary, this place has a hit or miss menu. I think the key is to know what to get from here and stick to it. We ordered the crawfish (NOLA style), which is your traditional boiled crawfish and it was good! There is a slight spice, but it isn't overwhelming (I would like it spicier, but all Nola style crawfish is cooked the same way and spice level). I would've loved to taste the flavor a litttttttle bit more if they left the crawfish juice in the bag (they drain the juice and bring the crawfish to you dry), but they were nice enough to bring us some on the side. Unfortunately, by the time we got the juice, all the crawfish had been eaten. It looked good though! I will try next time. We were offered their house sauce to eat our crawfish with and it was not good. I'm not sure what flavor that was, it almost tasted like an oddly spicy barbecue sauce and there's an aftertaste I can't put my finger on?? My family didn't enjoy it. You have the choice to get your crawfish with that sauce or without. I would opt out and maybe ask for some butter and seasoning on the side. They have Tony Chacheres in the kitchen so that's a great sign!! I think this will be my new go to spot when I'm craving crawfish! I've also had the fried fish and shrimp with fries. It was okay. I ordered catfish but it tasted more like tilapia. The shrimp and fries were nothing to write home about, but they were all edible. I just wish they were more hot and fresh when I had them. The crawfish pasta I didn't like at all. The sauce separates and is salty but doesn't have an actual flavor it seems. I do love the rotini noodles though! Like I said, find what you like here and stick to it. I have a few more items on the menu I'd like to try like the crawfish empanadas and the beignets, so I'll definitely be back!

    The food was so good. The fries are must try. The gumbo was not my fav but I will definitely be back.

    We came here on a whim. A last-minute brunch decision. Nothing planned. No expectations. And what…read morefollowed was a core memory in three courses and a complimentary Bloody Mary shot accompanied by the cutest green olive. The moment we walked in, it felt like home, but not in the "kick off your shoes" way. No, this was the "you're safe here, baby" kind of home. The vibe? Cozy. Elevated. Like Restoration Hardware met someone emotionally stable. Elliott was our server and an absolute delight. Joseph was the manager, casually spreading joy like Oprah with a tray of Bloody Mary shots. Amber... now let me pause here, because this woman deserves a paragraph of her own. Amber isn't just a GM. She's the kind of soul you meet once and never forget. When I asked for her to come to our table just to pay her a compliment, we both practically teared up. She received it with open arms, no ego, no deflection, just pure, gracious presence. I was mid-sentence and suddenly I had that Creed song stuck in my head. You know the one. "With arms wide open..." That's the kind of energy she brought to the entire restaurant. Amber made every person in that room feel like they mattered. Not because it's her job, but because it's who she is. She's fresh off earning her master's in hospitality, and if that degree came with a crown, she's wearing it. The Porch doesn't just run smoothly. It runs on Amber energy. But let's talk about the moment I saw God. Cornbread Eggs Benedict: Not crab. Not salmon. Corn. Bread. And not just any cornbread. The softest, fluffiest, most cuttable cloud of golden glory I've ever had the pleasure of annihilating with a fork. A fork, not a steak knife. Do you understand how rare that is? Normally I'm out here sawing through an English muffin like I'm in a lumberjack competition. This? Melted like butter. Tasted like a hug. 12/10. Incredible. And then, as if the eggs benny enlightenment wasn't enough, Joseph reappears with a tray of free Bloody Mary shots for the entire restaurant. With olives. For everyone. The joy? Immediate. The energy? Electric. The crowd? Unified. I watched a grandmother at the next table raise her glass like the queen she is. I nearly cried. This wasn't service. This was a masterclass in human connection. Restaurants can be transactional. Robotic. This was the opposite. This was care, intention, soul. My high school principal once said: "The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little bit of extra." The Porch brought extra, bagged it, garnished it, and served it on a tray. Final thought: If you're not brunching here, I'm concerned. If you are? I'll raise my Bloody Mary shot to you. And Amber, if you ever run for mayor, you've already got my vote. I'll run your campaign and show up in a custom t-shirt.

I do want to start with the positives. Our waiter was fantastic. He was very attentive, explained the menu thoroughly, and provided excellent service. The food also came out incredibly fast and piping hot, which is becoming rare these days. We started with the cornbread, and it was easily a 10/10. It was worth every bit of the $12. We ordered the fried chicken, greens, shrimp fried rice, biscuits, and hot water cornbread. The fried chicken was crispy and tender, but it lacked seasoning. I'd give it a 7/10. They served it with a house hot sauce, but surprisingly it had no heat and almost no flavor. I even asked the person I was dining with if they tasted anything because it was like pouring sauce on the chicken without changing the flavor at all. The greens were just okay on their own, but once we added the vinegar they became amazing. That made me wonder why the vinegar isn't incorporated into the greens from the start. The hot water cornbread had virtually no flavor. The shrimp fried rice was cooked really well, but it had an unexpected Caribbean-style seasoning that threw me off. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't what I was expecting, and it made it hard to fully enjoy. The biscuits were probably the biggest disappointment. They were dry and hard. One thing I also noticed is that, for a family style restaurant where you're encouraged to order several dishes to share, the tables feel too small. Once all the food arrived, there wasn't much room left, and even packing up our leftovers was awkward because of the lack of space. One standout that deserves recognition was the iced tea. It had what tasted like a subtle hint of mint and was incredibly refreshing. Easy 10/10. From the cuts of chicken we received, it appears they break down and fry whole chickens, which is perfectly fine. However, at $56 for a fried chicken that lacked seasoning, I found the price hard to justify. Maybe the cooking method or oil contributes to the cost, but I expected much more flavor for that price. Overall, I'd rate my experience a 7.5/10. Would I come back? Yes. I'd be willing to give Roots another chance and try something different from the menu. But when I hear Southern food, I expect bold seasoning and comforting flavors, and that's the one area where this meal really fell short.

Came with choices, I had the pancakes-2 big ones, large pat of whipped butter and syrup. So filling. My husband had a huge bacon omelette. HUGE!!! Served with grits. The chicken fried steak had sauce on the side-juicy. There is a daily special. We got a pecan pie to go-the most popular pie here! Yummy! Did not last long! Coffee and iced tea are fresh! Summary My husband loves this restaurant-aDallas landmark overlooking the Trinity River park. We bring out of town visitors here for a taste of Dallas. They loved it. Best breakfast in town! Specials are awesome! Always happy here! See you there!

    This breakfast spot is really cute. It's going to give a homestyle breakfast type of that. The…read morebiscuits were really nice and thick and soft as well as the pancakes. I would say this is a place to try when you just want to have a really well done southern style simple breakfast. The service was very good. Everyone was very nice and the environment was extremely welcoming.

    Fancy spot! You wouldn't mind if I review it, would you? Eating out in Dallas can get really…read moreexpensive, really quick. 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. If I had it my way, I wouldn't have paid for a thing here. They don't deserve our money and I HATE they got a cent from me. I'm livid. I hate this place W I L L N E V E R B E B A C K
