The only issue I have is I can't have a burger from here every day. My partners dog stole my left overs and I seriously considered prying his mouth open to save my beautiful burger for myself. Such a travesty.
Service and atmosphere were good. Great beer selection. A little skimpy on the fries for an almost $20 sandwich.

Everything was awesome. I ate my whole burger all my fries and drink my milkshake. My burger had no pink and was still juicy. My fries were not overcooked. Our server.
Was over the top. I felt bad for my server. Having to call her back several times but she reassured us that. That's why I'm here And for that I tipped at 25%.

I was craving a Rueben sandwich, so decided to try Haywire, ive had their sunny side burger before and it was really good. So got it for take out, the girl was very pleasant when i paid
for it. when i got home opened it up the sandwich wasnt cut in half ok no big deal i cut it knew instantly the meat was going to be tough thought to myself oh no! Took a bite and yup i was right the meat was so tough and parts were really dried out! I couldnt believe thats what they put on that sandwich to serve! I was so mad was looking forward to that rueben but now i know not to order it again! Got the sandwich along with fried zucchini sticks and those were good not greasy at all tasty.

My wife, daughter and I went to Haywire Burger Bar for the first time this evening 8/15. Parking was ample and we were seated quickly. Water was brought to our table and the waitress followed shortly thereafter. She took both cocktail and food orders. My wife and daughter both ordered cocktails; I went with water as a beverage. The appearance of the restaurant appeared clean but rather dated. I asked the waitress about whether she would recommend the blackened salmon burger. She told me it was one of her favorites, everything was made fresh, and I went with that. Both my wife and daughter ordered burgers, my wife's with a gluten-free bun.
The cocktails arrived. My daughter at first, made a face so I proceeded to sample each of theirs. Both tasted rather watered down and overall, were far below average from what I'm accustomed to.
The food was delivered promptly. My wife and daughter did enjoy their burgers. However, my sandwich was an entirely different story. The salmon burger was literally impossible to eat. The bread was dry, tasteless, bordering on stale. In addition, mayo was layered on extremely heavy. When I picked up the burger, it literally fell apart, and my hands were covered in mayo. The avocado and onions rolled right out across the plate. The entire experience was neither tasty nor enjoyable. I ended up just eating the salmon, which was not blackened, overcooked, but edible, the avocado and a couple of thin slices of tomato.
The waitress never returned to ask us how our food was. When she returned to pick up our plates and see if anyone desired dessert, I explained to her politely about the issues I had with the salmon burger. I told her the bread tasted stale and the entire affair was unacceptable. She advised me that I should have ordered it with a different bun. I responded, this was my first time there, I had no idea what the correct bun was to order and went with what was recommended on the menu. As we were discussing this, she periodically poked the broken pieces of bun on my plate, I guess verifying that it truly was stale. She said she would let the manager know.
My daughter ordered dessert. It arrived promptly. She mentioned it was OK but very sweet. Quite a while passed, we were finished and the waitress never returned with our check. I finally asked another employee if we could have our check. The waitress finally appeared with the check. At that point she told me that she notified the kitchen about my concerns.
After we paid, another individual showed up and apologized. I presume she was the manager, but she did not identify herself. She advised me that the multigrain bun that's served with the salmon burger is dry, and that I should have chosen a different bun. I reiterated that this was my first time visiting and that I had no idea what was appropriate to order. I went with what the menu advised. She again persisted that the bun that came with my sandwich is dry and that I should have chosen something different. I felt, she was putting the onus on me for the poor quality of the product that was served to me. She did absolutely nothing to try to resolve the complaint. Finally, I politely thanked her for her time, told her I will not be returning and that I was going to leave a review describing my experience.
I do not recommend Haywire Burger Bar. There are so many other competitors in the field to choose from that offer a solid product along with good service. My experience tonight, unfortunately, was a failure.

First and foremost, I want to express the greatest, thank you to the staff who accommodated our large family. You did a great job of making sure we had everything at our large table.
Reason for not providing five stars was because we were shocked as we were celebrating a birthday and typically when that is mentioned a scoop of ice cream or a piece of cake and a candle would be brought out to the birthday person.
Instead we were charged $8 (eight dollars REALLY OMG) for two small scoops of ice cream and a candle.
We were also told that there were no free refills of soda or ice tea with our meals and would be charged additional dollars for refills.
After the amount of money that we spent that was in the “hundreds” of dollars, It was embarrassing and shameful on the owner of the burger joint. If you’re business is that desperate for money or that cheap, You should modify your menu in big bold letters, stating that nothing is for free, no matter how much money or what special occasion you’re celebrating! (Incredibly sad)

Awesome first visit. Friend and attentive staff. Pretty large inside with a few different rooms for seating. Also looked like there was outdoor seating as well. Burger was very very tasty and cooked perfectly. Every other member of the party also loved their burgers. Fries were decent. Shoestring onion straws not bad either. Real winners here are the burgers though.
