    Corned Beef hash
    Mary C.

    The corned beef hash is very good. The bacon was very good too. It was thick and not too salty. The pancakes were okay. I like that the price is affordable. Coffee is good. Place has an "oldish" vibe. Service was excellent. Food came out fast and it was hot. Our server, Beverly is so sweet and she was very efficient. Thank you!

    My first time going here but wanted a quick breakfast and overall I was not disappointed. This place is usually crowded on weekends but during the week it wasn't bad. I was just by myself this trip so was sat right away. My server greeted me quickly and took my drink order. She was also attentive throughout my time there. Since I was my first time I asked her what's one of the best things on the menu and she recommend the apple pancake. Now in my head I was thinking a normal pancake with some fried apples on top. I was wrong. She told me it would take about 25 minutes to prepare so I knew I was for something. After about the 25 minutes later I see my server coming back with this mound of apples baked into a this bread like bowl with brown sugar and steam rising like the Statue of Liberty in the night sky. I was immediately invested in this journey I was about to undertake. I cut into it and take my first bite and I am taken on a taste explosion of cinnamon, apples, and brown sugar. I don't know how to describe the "pancake." It tastes like a soufflé and pancake mixed together so has a kind of "eggy" taste to it. It's thinner than a pancake for sure. The cooks slightly crisped the outside (don't know if that's common) so added a slight charred taste to it. Overall I was impressed with it. It was massive so it's definitely one that can be easily shared with another person. This was definitely a good place for some nice eats. I will definitely be going back to try some more items and hope that others do too!

    First time here. Went here with my kids for breakfast. Simple breakfast restaurant, many good options for whole family, nothing real special.

    Corned beef hash
    Autumn B.

    Omgggggggg! Pancake house never disappoints! Yesterday I went here and had my usual, the corned beef hash and pancakes. The hash was so fresh and perfectly seasoned. The pancakes were so fluffy and literally melt in your mouth! It felt like I was eating nothing when I ate the pancakes, which is very dangerous because I could eat so many! I cannot wait to return and have my favorite again.

    Mushroom and Spinach Omelette
    Tony P.

    We had our late brunch here we ordered Western and Spinach/Mushroom Omelettes. Also, a short stack of Pancakes. They're delicious. Serving staff was so patient waiting for us to finish, we're the only customers since they're closing at 3pm. Well lighted and decorated restaurant.

    Fiesta Cheddar Omelette
    Michelle I.

    Started coming here for breakfast since we moved here. Love that they are fast and efficient and the wait is never long however, we always come before 9a. We ordered the omelette, duct baby pancakes, and blueberry waffles. The omelette is not pretty looking but its is good. You can get 2-3 servings from this omelette. My husband loves the Dutch baby pancakes. It's soft and custardy in the center. It is his new favorite breakfast item. The blueberry waffle is delicious. The waffle is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside filled with blueberries. It also comes with a blueberry compote that is not too sweet. My only complaint is the add on of eggs and bacon is $12 alone. However, the other price as pretty good. 100% recommend. This is our go-to breakfast spot if we want to be in and out. Some of the booths up front is really tight, can barely get in, even as a smaller person.

    Horrible Service. Ok food. Stay away from the gimmick bacon steak, its not good. Condensation was dripping from the vent in the waiting area, and mold is growing from the vent in the Men's restroom.

    spicy Breakfast Quesadilla

    I went to get brunch and got the spicy quesadillas. I brought my leftovers home and found a wire in the food :/ the food was okay and the service is good but this is disappointing and unsafe to eat.

I've…read morevisited many restaurants throughout Plano and Legacy West, and Haywire consistently stands out every single time. The atmosphere, scenery, food, and customer service are always top tier. I usually head to the third floor, which has become my favorite spot. During my recent visit, Fanny was absolutely amazing -- incredibly sweet, attentive, and welcoming from start to finish. Her customer service truly elevated the experience. My go-to order is always the mini elk tacos with flour tortillas, and of course the mac and cheese, but this time I tried the queso and chips and it was divine -- rich, flavorful, and honestly one of the best I've had in a while. I paired everything with a Ranch Water and had such a relaxing evening. I returned again on Memorial Day and although the third floor was closed, the second-floor experience was just as exceptional. Lauren -- the one with the long dark hair -- was incredibly kind, warm, and attentive. Ask for Lauren if you visit. She provided genuine hospitality and made the experience feel personal and welcoming. 10/10 every single time. Whether you live in Plano or you're simply visiting the area, Haywire is absolutely worth experiencing for yourself. The menu has a great variety, the ambiance is beautiful, and the consistency in service and food quality keeps me coming back.

Dessert looks delicious and I'm definitely planning to return. Pro-Tip. They have happy hours, get here early to experience the rooftop happy hour.

The French onion soup seems to be popular here, and as soon as I saw that buttery-looking pastry puff baked on top, I knew I had to order it! It was definitely hearty, with plenty of onions (which I love). However, it was a bit saltier than I prefer. I do wish there were an option to substitute the onion soup with a chowder, like clam or corn chowder. The Reuben eggrolls were surprisingly good! I'm used to traditional Asian eggrolls, so I really liked this creative twist. The house-smoked pastrami, sauerkraut, and melted Gruyère cheese worked so well together. They tasted amazing with the spicy Russian dipping sauce (which I appreciated wasn't too spicy). It was such a flavorful and memorable dish! I'm glad I gave it a try.
