Haystack Burgers and Barley

This is THE place to get a great burger. I got the combo with fries and a drink which wasn't cheap. Honestly wasn't crazy about the fries. But the Barn Burger was so freakin' amazing it was worth the price (and the wait time b/c it took longer to make than I expected). Staff was friendly, ambiance is much nicer than a typical burger joint, and they have a giant TV over the bar (got to watch the Stars game). Highly recommend.

Amazing food and amazing service and atmosphere. The employees are amazing and super kind! Their ketchup is amazing!!!! Gives it a really good spicy kick and their service is really fast! The place itself is a really good vibe! Coming back again! For my burger I got it to go, and they gave me my veggies separated and adjusted my burger to my liking. They asked how cooked you would like your patty. Amazing Burger Place.

Such nice variety! I love their seasonal options in addition to their Haystack house specialties. They even have gluten free buns!

This is HANDS DOWN my favorite restaurant. The food is always made fresh. It's not frozen. It's so good that I will drive all the way across town to go eat there.

Had a great time at this place. Food was spot on. I had the Vanderslice Burger and I added Haystack battered onions to the burger was flavorful and the bun was good too. Their homemade thousand Island dressing was good but a tart version. Fries were good and well seasoned

Probably the Best burger I've had in a long time! Soft firm bun, thick tasty seasoned beef patty medium well cooked to perfection, fresh green lettuce and the fries were seasoned perfectly. Excellent Customer Service with Smiles and upbeat music made the location have a good vibe. Great place to chill out and relax and eat good food!

What a great place to eat. The burgers are FANTASTIC! We had the haystack burger (with fried onions on top. YuM!) and the avacado bacon burger. We also tried the fries, definitely homemade, they were absolutely delicious! Our server was so nice and we were very taken care of while we were there. I hope I get to visit again before leaving Dallas because this place is DEFINITELY worth it!

Both the food and service were above the norm for a Burger Experience. I at the Esccabeche Burger and my dining companion had the Avacado Burger. Both were of very good quality with regard to both content and flavor. With a HALF/HALF side of fries and onion crisps, we left happy and very well fed. I see they also serve craft beers. Ill have to try those next visit. Also, their management supports local comedy. You should support them back if value people who uplift other.

We've decided that whenever I'm craving a burger, this is where we need to go. You get a lot of protein a lot of flavor and the prices aren't bad at all! I like that they were plenty of options for the kids, but they weren't super basic or frozen. That means a lot to me! It was a great place to take the family and everyone got to try something different, and everyone seemed to like it! I've enjoyed everything I've gotten on their burger menu so far. I've had the Vanderslice and the double bacon, burger, and each of them checked the boxes and was very satisfying! If anything, they could use a little more sauce, but if you take some ketchup when your kids aren't looking, you should be just fine

This homemade fried cheese never disappoints. There is no other place in DFW that comes close. Other restaurants typically buy a bag of frozen mozzarella sticks, not Haystack. It came out in three minutes. They give out ranch and marina for dipping. I liked the ranch better. I will keep coming here.

The quality of the meat of the burger appeared to be decent, but the burger was seriously undercooked and heavily salted. It was Salted to the point where it was nearly inedible. The pudding was a fail. The actual pudding itself tasted fine and the bananas were the correct ripeness, but the vanilla wafers were put in at the very end, as opposed to having some time in the pudding to soften up so they were hard. The presentation was unique, but didn't add to the experience or the product. I would have preferred to have less product, but served in a smaller container, that was prepared better. I got the Ruben. For the price there wasn't a lot of meat particular when you compare it to competitors. The quality of the meat was OK but not stunning. It was kind of an also ran. I did like the bread was toasted and the combination Was good but not great. For the price, I was looking for something with a lot more wow. Either flavor or quality. Overall we were just disappointed. The fries and haystack onions were very very salty. The burger was extremely salty. Nothing really stood out as being a reason to come back. We were very much looking forward to this, but I don't think we're going to return.

Decided to get the Is La Bella mushroom sandwich and onion rings tonight. They were both delicious. Haystack is the only place that I know of that serves mushroom burgers in our area and I LOVE it! If you're addicted to mushrooms like I am, this will definitely hit the spot. The food came out quick and hot, and the server was very careful to make sure my order contained everything I requested. Bravo!

Came here for lunch with my coworker and we had a good experience. Parking was easy, ordering quick, and ample amount of seating. I ordered the Down on the Farm turkey burger with no mustard and it was very juicy and tasty! The side of fries I ordered to accompany the burger was crispy and fried perfectly (the sides do come separately). Overall, nice burger experience and I will come back.

I went yesterday and tried the Patty Melt and half-and-half French fries and fried pickles. It was really good, though a bit expensive. The burger was seasoned well. At the recommendation of the cashier, I went with it cooked medium. I definitely wouldn't do that again as it was a little too raw for my liking, but it was good. The fries were tasty and the fried pickles were my fave! I'm excited to return and try another well-done burger and alllll the fried pickles.

Club sandwich is great - a lot of food! Chips and queso are a win. Fried pickles are also a good choice for apps.

Solid burgers and patty melt. The staff is very friendly and the place is extremely clean. The pricing is a little on the high side, and is the only reason I can't give a five star. The quality of the food is fantastic, but 4 burgers, 5 sodas, 1 appetizer, 2 orders of fries, should not be $100.

The food was ok...the Frito pie was just dry...so get a big glass of water to drink with it. The chili on top was like a bowl of dry meat. There was absolutely no juice or moisture at all. The onion strings were good but the fries tasted like they had been sitting for a while. The burger was good according to my friend.

Big burgers with quality beef cooked the way you like it; lots of options to add on top plus hot, crisp fries on the side; add a little chili if you are really hungry and you wont be disappointed.

I like the burgers here but not the best I've ever had. But a good place to go for a decent burger. Would recommend if you're not looking for a wow experience just for a yummy burger meal.

Burgers are always soggy without fail omg. But still devour. Would never crave this bc there is absolutely nothing special ab this place, but price is actually pretty reasonable. Service is fine. Ambiance is whateverrrrrr

Best Patty Melt and Onion Strings I have ever eaten, bar none. If you are fortunate enough to try Haystacks Burger & Barley in Richardson you will become addicted as I Have!

This is our favorite place to grab a good burger!! The burgers are juicy and the buns are great! AND their gluten-free buns are the best we've had at any area restaurant. Management is very accommodating and welcoming as are all of the employees. Although we haven't indulged, they have some amazing sounding creative shakes. Their draft beer selection is good, offering local options.

It's the best place that you can eat burger the real burger, the best food, the best service,

Burger was under cooked and so salty. I have tried twice because my wife likes the salads. I am done. Seems like kids running it. Where's the oversight.

Burgers were good but messy. Fries are standard. Nothing bad but nothing special. Fried onions are a novelty and good. Service was fast and friendly. Sunday lunch rows was light. Very casual vibe.

My wife and I had a great meal here. The haystack burgers were great. Portion sizes matched the price. We split the fries and also tried some fried pickles. Everything was great. The outside patio is nice, but too windy for us when we went but we will be back.

For the $21 I spent, I could have gone to Wendy's and been just as satisfied for a 1/3 of the price. Pros: 1/2lb patty cooked medium, ingredients looked fresh, chipotle mayo was tasty Cons: burger left a greasy mess, nothing special about the patty (not hand formed nor Angus beef nor anything other that helped it stand out), a bit too salty, fries were hand cut but nothing else to help them stand out either. The decor was nice and they have beer on tap but other than that, you can find better and less expensive elsewhere.

Creative healthy menu. Fresh ingredients. Love the specialty tea but can't think of the name. Bar with cocktails is a appealing. I've gone multiple times at lunch & the place was packed every time. A little pricey. Sides are shareable.

Top-notch burger, local beers and great-looking space. Try the barn burner if you can take some heat. Or give the Escabeche a shot if you like eating delicious things!

Ordered the Escabeche burger. Lots of options on their menu and huge burgers, but the taste was alright. Not much flavor to the beef itself and the toppings could have been fresher.

I originally stopped to eat at Rickys Hot Chicken (next door) but they were closed until 4 so this starving belly of mine decided to try Haystack Burgers. I asked about the top seller and the guy said it was their "Haystack " so I got the Haystack burger. Unfortunately it was very dry, like it was missing something to bring it on in. The crunchiness on there was good but it was just dry. Also, quite expensive and the $10.89 burgers don't include sides. So once you add fries you're looking at $16 now I don't mind paying $16 but it damn sure better be worth it. Honestly I won't return unless they decide to sale fries with the burgers as a combo deal AND add some kind of sauce.

As soon as I was asked "the burger will be medium is that fine?" I reacted like no way this burger finna smack. and it did, finished it all. Gotta get the haystack. Shouts Out to the homie Juan Vargas pmo

I can't believe I haven't reviewed Haystacks before since I've checked in over 60 times!! Obviously one of my all-time favorite burger places! I always get the Down On The Farm burger and the mozzarella sticks and they both never disappoint. Today I also tried the sweet potato chips - OMG why haven't I seen this on the menu before and tried them!?! The chips are homemade and light and crispy and not greasy at all. I will be ordering them many times in the future! The mozzarella sticks are the best ever!! Tip- mix the ranch and the marinara sauce together for dipping - Yummy!! Get ready for a yummy meal that is a game changer!! When you feel comfortable dining in, they have an awesome selection of craft beers on tap.

One of the best burgers I've had in a long time. Burger was perfectly cooked and the accoutrements were delicious! It's a casual place, that's not too loud so one can have a conversation! Busy at 2:00 in the afternoon shows how good it is! Outdoor seating for a nice Dallas day! The staff was friendly and helpful! I look forward to returning!

One of the best burgers in Dallas. Love the Taos Burger. Try the onion rings. Great beer on tap. Just don't go on Friday night. I don't like to wait in line.

The food is good. We had the patty melt and truffle fries. Probably would not order the patty melt again. We also had a steak salad which was good. I would like to try the picnic salad instead. My daughter had the hot dog and she said it was ok.

Alright y'all. We are always in the mood for a good burger (extra drippy please!). Haystack delivered with near perfect execution. On order today: Homemade Fried Mozzarella: melty, gooey mozzarella in a light crust, served with a lightly spiced marinara and homemade ranch. Fantastic. Nothing pairs better with fatty cheese sticks like fresh, spicy marinara and cold, tangy ranch. Ranchero Chicken Stuffed Jalapeños: SPICY Guys...trust me...do not fail to order these. Moist, shredded chicken, zesty sauce, stuffed into a FRESH jalapeño then battered and deep fried. Think of the best taquito you've ever had...then shove it in a wicked hot jalapeño and you still won't come close to how good these were. Half & Half (not pictured): a single bowl with the best of both worlds: hand cut fries and onion strings. What's an onion string, you ask? An onion ring, basically, but more consumer friendly. Sliced super thin before being fried up, it is incredibly difficult to serve these without them sitting in a pool of their own grease. And yet...haystack did it. I think we all know how good handcut fries are, and these were cooked to perfection. Chicken Fried Burger: tasted exactly how the menu says. Great burger to batter ratio (about 4:1, not ideal for a classic chicken fried steak, but exactly what you want for a fried burger). The jalapeño gravy was good also, but I would have liked it to have a kick of fresh black pepper (I'm picky about my CFS gravy). Burger of the Month (January) / 3 Alarm Burger: Please don't draw & quarter me if I got the name wrong, we ate there several days ago and I failed to note the name. For the average consumer, this would more than likely pack a punch in the spice department. For my chili-head boyfriend who eats whole habaneros for fun, it wasn't spicy enough. I didn't manage to snag a bite, but he assured me that it was an absolutely solid burger. The Haymaker (not pictured): I probably should have read some reviews before we ordered this because my lil Texas self CANNOT stomach whiskey, and this is a frozen whiskey drink. I know, I know. I can't drink whiskey (I've tried! I promise! But it makes my stomach extremely unhappy). If you like old fashioneds, this frozen twist will be perfect for you. Our food and beverage experience warranted four stars, but the service rounded this out to a five star review. The woman running the counter was friendly and efficient, not only with us but with the next guest that came in. During our dining, a group of gentlemen came in and asked multiple questions about the menu. At this point, a male staff member had taken over the register and answered all of their questions without hesitation and offered suggestions based on what the group was saying they liked. That's the kind of service I love to witness, and to see it at a quick counter service establishment is almost unheard of. Haystack made for a truly pleasant dining experience from start to finish.

I am not one to order a burger out because when I was a kid a burger was something my dad made and it was the only one I liked. Well I tell you what, once I tried a Haystack burger I was a changed woman and I crave a burger from here often. The burgers here are delicious and made to order (go with medium). The sauces also provide a great variety as well and you can choose from traditional mayo and ketchup or go for the avocado or three pepper ranch. The big secret about haystack though is they have quite possibly the best grown up mozzarella stick in Texas. It's huge, it's perfectly cooked and most importantly it makes you reconsider "healthy eating" every time. I typically go for the Haystack salad with a burger patty, add poblanos, no fried onion and add an avocado ranch. It's delicious and fits into most "diets" but still feels incredibly indulgent. Enjoy and don't forget to add a Haymaker.

I've loved this place for a while but finally writing a review! This place is a fantastic burger spot, cold beer, and even healthy options as well. I was able to get this burger and my friend enjoy a Mediterranean salad and both were very well made. We were too full this time, but i rave to anybody that'll listen about their milkshakes!

Happy Saturday beautiful people *Last night I was in Richardson,TX and stopped by Haystack Burgers. They sell burgers, sandwiches and salads. I prefer turkey or veggie burgers and they had BOTH as an option so I was sold! *Food details are listed below... BYOB (Build your own Burger)- 9/10- $10 (there was a base price & each add on was extra): I got a turkey burger w/ cheddar cheese tomatoes & chipotle Mayo. The patty was very dense and cooked all the way through. I asked for well done, im not sure if it was or not but it was cooked enough for me. This is a quality turkey burger if you enjoy a turkey patty. Also, It was seasoned perfectly. Half/Half (half fried pickles, half fries) $4.45... details below Fried pickles -8/10: Slim cut pickled chips. They didn't look like they would be good but the flavor was perfect. Not too salty. Paired nicely with their ranch dressing. Fries- 7.8/10: they were decent. A bit too salty for me and a few had an oil taste. However, they paired nicely with the other food items especially the turkey burger Bc of the density of the fries. 3 jalapeños - 8/10- $6.85: They didn't look like much however these were very tasty. The jalapeños had a pickled flavor. It tasted like it was stuffed with chicken and salsa or small tomatoes. To me they were over priced for the amount you get.

We can vouch that the new Haystack Burgers & Barley is excellent. Had lunch at the new location Preston and Forest today and the food was delicious, service excellent ,and restaurant spotless. The owner Kevin Galvan took our order and treated us more like guests in his home than restaurant patrons. He offered my husband a sample of beer so he could decide on the one he'd get and he also brought us a helping of chili to sample. After enjoying our burgers, fries, and beer we purchased chili go go, and that was our dinner tonight---perfect on a cool, rainy evening. Please give Haystack a try you won't be disappointed. By the way, the menu has more than burgers, so we'll be going back to sample some of the salads and sandwiches since they all sounded scrumptious.

Jalapeño Escabeche Burger - BEST Burger I've tasted in Dallas!! Looking forward to trying the Haystack Dawg and Stuffed Jalapeños. We tried the Jalapeño Escabeche Burger, Haystack Burger, Fried Pickles, and Chili Cheese Fries (off-menu request)

Great food, good menu with options for everyone . The staff is great, friendly and welcoming. Dinning room offers a lot of seating options included outdoor dining.

Read some good reviews about their burgers and decided to stop by. They didn't have the La Bella mushroom that I read about so I decided on the Vanderslice and added mushrooms. The burger was flavorful and satisfying. Unfortunately something went wrong because I had to find a water closet quickly right after eating there. I called back to let them know and they said they would be willing to give me a small discount if I went back. Perhaps it was just my burger and no one else phoned in so they weren't sure that it was their food. I would say that the burger was delicious but my experience makes me hesitant to return.

Good Afternoon Linda's, Let me tell you about this burger place that I recently tried. I'll start by saying that the customer service was great! Let me get to the meat and potatoes of this review. I didn't know that the burger was going to be deconstructed , so I had to pick up my face when I opened the box. The grease was dripping from the burger as soon I picked it up, which for a burger would be good. However, I took one bite of the burger and the salt hit me. It was as if it was bathed in salt and hypertension. Disappointed is understatement, because I was extremely hungry. Go for the excellent customer service, but not on your lunch break. Linda's enjoy the journey of trying new places ,but tell them to calm down on the salt and you might be able to enjoy your burger.

This place is amazing! The meat is always so juicy and the fries fresh. Never disappointed here.

Looked up this place while I was in the area with my kids wanted a burger decided to go with this place first everything was great place is a little pricey spent $50 on just 4 of us but I had no issues with place or service only complain is the chicken more crispy I would come back try something new and since I like local businesses

Very good Great value Amazing service Highly recommend Hidden gem! Will be back! Tasty

Ordered Delivery.. Chili burger had no chili. Chicken fried burger had no gravy. Both burgers were dry. Both drenched in salt and pepper like they were hiding something. The bun was good. The fries were cold and soggy. Enough Catchup for a quarter of the fries. My daughter enjoyed the pudding. No utensils. Ordered a Dr Pepper, got No Dr Pepper. 2 people: 2 Burgers, 2 Fries, 1 drink and 1 pudding. Over $60. The only item that wasn't wrecked or missing was the pudding. We can't recommend this spot. Keep looking, there are better burger joints. My daughter didn't even eat her food. She had the pudding, gave me a dirty look and went to bed. Yes, unfortunately Haystack was my idea. Dad's, if you love your daughter, you'll keep looking. Lol

Lots of creative and delicious burger options (and Frito Pie!) Great option especially if you're looking for a place to eat before or after a movie at the Alamo Drafthouse in the same shopping center.

Okay, I'm gonna be honest... I don't really care for their burgers. Don't get me wrong, they are pretty good, but not my favorite. Now... the reason for the 5 stars... IS THE PATTY MELT. Something about their patty melt makes my mouth salivate uncontrollable; it's so bad. This is my favorite place to get patty melts (I think it's better than Whataburger's). The first time I had it, I could not stop thinking about it for months. Now, it is VERY greasy (even more so than the first time I had it, I think), BUT it is worth. It has this spice that is the perfect kick. Their fries are also pretty good, very well seasoned. The chipotle ketchup is also fire. Would highly recommend if you are in the area.

Oh my gosh, y'all, these burgers were worth the calories and the mess! My husband and I stopped by for a weekday lunch recently and ordered the Haystack burger, the Avocado Ranch Burger, and a half-and-half order of fried pickles and french fries. The restaurant itself is tucked inside an unassuming strip mall but the interior is clean, modern, and inviting. The gentleman who took our orders was incredibly friendly and helpful, as were the other employees we encountered during our visit. My Avocado Ranch Burger was everything I hoped it would be - perfectly cooked, juicy, and well-seasoned. The flavor combinations really complemented one another. This is not a petite easy-to-handle burger and I probably looked a bit ridiculous leaning over my plate while trying to avoid getting food all over my shirt - next time I might opt to knife and fork it. The fried pickles and accompanying sauce were addicting and I would order them again in a heartbeat. My husband was equally happy with his Haystack burger and fries, and we both loved the chipotle ketchup.

I arrive at haystack burgers & barley then I am promptly greeted by the staff I believe the name of the worker was "Kaitlyn". I perused the menu carefully going through the different options in my mind. I came to the conclusion of a Nutella milkshake. I couldn't wait to taste the hazelnut spread in a delicious milkshake concoction. I sit down at the bar and watch the action packed game of the Washington Nationals verses the San Francisco Giants. Time passes quickly after watching stud pitcher #21 Tanner Rainey bombard the San Francisco giants batters. (Spoiler the Washington Nationals beat the San Francisco Giants 11-5) asking the mixologist "Kaitlyn" for extra Nutella she obliged and added more. Viewing the shake (sorry I couldn't get a photograph of the shake, it was tooo tasty and I had to dig in.) I could taste the hazelnut spreads with cream and a strong taste of love and respect. Whoever made this shake truly put their heart and sole into this shake, there were obvious notes of someone trying their hardest and succeeding. The way I can describe all of the feelings that were brought upon me when I slurped up the milkshake was the feeling of trying at something for long, and finally succeeding. This was the best milkshake I have ever consumed and the way it tasted and was made is impossible to do it again. The environment was curated by another person of the waitstaff, her name seemed to be "Ava". She worked tirelessly at making sure the space was happy, clean and safe. as I was ferociously devouring my milkshake I made the small mistake of spilling some of my delicious milkshake that was carefully created. Ava ran over and quickly wiped away the fallen puddles of my Nutella milkshake. I even saw her clean the floor with a toothbrush. Wondering what she was doing I asked her and she said she didn't trust mops and felt as if the toothbrush was an extension of herself. I saw no grime or gristle on the floor and I feel confident in saying I would eat off the floor and feel good about it (I kindve wanted to). "Ava" curated this wonderful establishment to feel like somewhere you've been and have been accepted. This place felt like home. Hell! it's better than home, my kids are crazy and Always talking about tic Tok and instagram! When are they going to talk to me! The person I went with got a burger and they said it was good. I struggle with infidelity and haystacks gives me the confidence to become a better father husband and forklift operator. I also take the people I cheat on with my wife here and they love it!

Yum! Love the burgers and local beer options. The sweet potato fries are good as well.

I arrived ten minutes before they closed on a Monday night. Most places would cop an attitude with an eye roll when a customer walks in as they are preparing to end things for the night; or at the most, permit you to order something to go, but not these guys. They let me order and sit down and enjoy my meal, and they did it in a courteous manner. I ordered the portabella sandwich for my meatless Monday meal. The mushrooms were spilling out the sides of the sandwich. It was super plump and chalk full of hot-off-the-grill, deliciousness. The tin pan with butcher paper collected the gooey cheese droppings. I was able to make myself presentable using one of their fine, linen napkins. Those high quality kitchen towels had a down-to-earth look, but a lovely, luxurious feel. I ordered the Half/Half for my side. The Haystack onions reminded me of Outback's bloomin' onion. Their fries were more like what you would get at Wendy's. Both were piled high on a paper banana boat. I may check out the fried pickles next time. Beers on tap are all from local breweries. The wall art was fun and whimsical. Paper mache, farm animal heads were mounted with a colorful picture frame around them. The pub tables and bar stools are made from very sturdy metal. You know you will never need to stuff coasters under the legs to keep them from rocking. It's solid construction with an industrial, artsy look. I was impressed that they had more than just burgers on the menu. There were even a few salad and sandwich items I think my husband would enjoy trying this place. I plan on bringing him here the next time I come. I, for one, loved it. It had that funky, unique vibe of old haunts in Austin, TX and Bellingham, WA. I can't wait to return.

Amazing! We love this place. Burgers are great, perfectly cooked, and fries are so fresh and well seasoned. Its all so good, you won't have leftovers to take home. Love that you can get local brews. The atmosphere is chill, staff is friendly, and prices are good.

The burger was delicious and huge. The fries were ok but too much for just one person. The drink the haymaker was wonderful! It was a little expensive but a nice place.

I don't get the hype. Been here twice and the sandwiches and burgers are soggy messes. The chicken is so tough you can't cut thru it with the steak knife.
