    First trip to Haywire and it was fantastic. The Pork Belly appetizer was delicious. And the pork chop was one of the best I’ve ever had. Somehow it took a long time for the pork chop to come out but the waiter and manager, Trevor, noticed before I said anything. I wasn’t in a hurry and wasn’t upset, but they still did the right thing. That’s great customer service that is nearly impossible to find these days. Check out Haywire and don’t sleep on that pork chop.

    Culinary Dropout is our favorite restaurant in Austin. In fact, we go out of our way when we are anywhere near Austin to stop in for a meal. The food is outstanding! No gross, exotic combinations of spices, sauces, etc. that you get at many "up-and-coming" restaurants today, just downright good food that is excellent every time we are there. We are waiting for the day when they bring their world class meatloaf back. In the meantime, we have adopted the fried chicken as one of our new favorites. And, let me mention the wonderful assortment of wait staff and other employees who treat you like royalty every time you come in. We can't thank you enough! Especially those of you who are now our friends. Hats off to your caring style and your listening ears and hearts! Don't pass this place up! Believe us, the wait is worth it if you can't get a reservation.
