Restaurant
Bar
Beer garden
Legacy Hall is a cutting-edge culinary and entertainment destination in Texas, offering a diverse range of dining options from over 20 artisanal food stalls, full-service bars, an on-site craft brewery, beer garden, and live music stage. This innovative space allows families and friends to come together to savor the freshest local ingredients prepared by talented local chefs and artisans. With indoor and outdoor restaurants, bars, patios with outdoor seating across three floors, Legacy Hall provides an unforgettable experience for visitors.
If you’re not sure what you’re in the mood to eat, Legacy Hall has you covered with a variety of options all under one roof. It’s perfect for groups, date nights, or spontaneous foodie missions. Families with small children will especially love it—kids can burn off energy on the outdoor patio while parents get a small taste of nightlife. The atmosphere is lively and family-friendly, with multiple bars and a phenomenal patio space when the weather cooperates. It’s the kind of spot that works for almost any occasion. The hibachi grill is 🔥💯; I ❤️ the fried rice - hibachi sauce with steak & shrimp add the yum yum sauce. Roots also has phenomenal banana pudding. Unfortunately during a recent visit - I’m giving legacy hall a 2- star rating due to the service at the bar. I was hoping to try something new and asked what options were available beyond my usual go-to. The bartender listed on my receipt responded with what I can only describe as passive-aggressive energy. No effort was made to upsell or even offer a drink menu. What could’ve been a fun, exploratory experience turned into an uncomfortable one. Unfriendly and seemingly biased service like this can really take away from an otherwise great venue.

I can't report on the food as I didn't eat there due to my allergies, but I wasn't there for food anyway. I was there for the last performance by tribute band Forever Mac! They were amazing, and Legacy Hall's sound production was incredible. I can definitely recommend the live music!

Have been here before but never for a Music event. We came to see the Chris Stapleton tribute and it was awesome. We enjoyed their music, the set up, the food options and how organized it was. I just mention we paid for a table and there seemed to be some people that were just I. The area and stayed., we literally had a family dancing around with their kids right in front t of us (not in the dancing area). We missed a good part of the initial intro of the concert 🎶 Eventually they weren’t anywhere to be seen so it made us think they just were hanging out without admission. After that their whole experience was great. We really enjoyed the whole event. Will definitely return.

Legacy Hall in Texas is straight-up a foodie paradise with main character energy — like, imagine a place where your indecisive self can grab gourmet tacos, truffle fries, and craft beer *all at once* without judgment. The vibes are top-tier: live music floating through the air, rooftop seating that hits different when the sun sets, and a crowd that’s just the right mix of chill and fun. Whether you're on a casual date, third-wheeling your friends, or just there for the vibes and vibes only, this spot delivers every time. It’s giving “weekend plans sorted” energy — and honestly, I’m already planning my next trip back.

Legacy West gets a four-star rating from me. It's a cool, trendy place with the best restaurants, offering amazing food of all types. My only issue is that it has basically little to no seating, which can be a hassle. Despite that, it's still a fantastic spot to enjoy great meals and a lively atmosphere. 4 stars!

Foodie Heaven with Live Vibes 🎶🌮 Tried Velvet Taco, Vegan Vibrationz, and Chilangos Tacos—and every bite delivered! The place has an amazing atmosphere, with tons of food options no matter the time of day. Big win? Order with a QR code and they bring your food to your table! Tables were cleaned quickly, and the staff kept everything running smooth. The outdoor area had live music, and the indoor space is super kid-friendly with plenty of room. Trendy, family-friendly, and full of flavor—definitely coming back to explore more stalls!

We spent here a very good time during a Elthon John tribute. The guys who were performing here were amazing. They made all people to be singing despite the rain menace. A very nice show. A very good moment with family. We bought tickets in advance and it was easy and fast. There are other tributes planed during the year. You should come and enjoy this high quality musical shows.

New American restaurant
Southwestern restaurant (US)
Haywire is a multi-floor dining experience located in Plano, Texas. It is part of the Front Burner Family of restaurants and offers a high-end New American dining experience. The restaurant features a 1st floor whiskey bar, 2nd floor dining room, and rooftop patio. Guests can indulge in Southern-inspired American favorites such as lamb burgers, fried Gulf oysters, chicken fried steak, and more.
The Haywire team did an outstanding job making my birthday dinner feel special! My party was running late for our reservation, but we called ahead to let them know and the staff were so accommodating. They were able to hold our table for an additional 30 min, which we greatly appreciated. Jordan, our server, was fantastic and very attentive. He was very helpful with his suggestions and frequently checked on us during our meal. The food was fantastic - especially the whiskey bread pudding. We are already making plans to go back just for the bread pudding because it is so phenomenally good. One of the best desserts I've ever had. The decor and ambiance is sophisticated and elegant, but still retains that Texas charm. We visited both the 2nd floor dining room and 3rd floor rooftop. My only negative is that the noise level was a bit too loud while dining, but we also went on a Saturday night for dinner, so it may depend on the time/crowd. Overall, incredible experience and Haywire is truly deserving of 5-stars.

We ate here on Sunday night when it wasn't too busy or loud. The food was great, although a little pricey, and the service was very helpful and friendly. It was such a big barn look that I didn't think was the greatest and might be very noisy when it's full. There are three levels and there are some rooms for a copier atmosphere that might be better for a more intimate setting. There is also seating outside on the 2nd and 3rd floors that overlook the stage where the entertainment is on weekends.

A great spot for a date night or just a girls' meet-up! We had reservations, but they do accept walkins. Relaxing atmosphere and great portion sizes. The food was really good and Dallas, our waiter, was very attentive to us! I will gladly go back again! The pork belly bites are our absolute favorite!!

This was my second time at Haywire and I truly enjoy this place. Ambience is nice, lighting is low, and the place is HUGE (three stories including a rooftop) The first time I really enjoyed the steak I ordered! My second visit I wasn’t overly wowed by the food, but I still enjoyed nonetheless! I also got the mojito refresher and I highly recommend for a non alcoholic beverage. Marcus was our server and he did an exceptional job!! He was very funny, attentive, quick, and gave us great and super honest suggestions over the menu! Definitely recommend as your server! Haywire is the place to go for a date night or a special occasion!!

I came to Haywire in Plano to celebrate my birthday, and it couldn’t have been a better choice. I ordered the 12oz NY strip steak, which was cooked perfectly—tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The mac & cheese was creamy, rich, and the perfect side. Their frozen Texas Tea quickly became my new favorite drink—refreshing and dangerously easy to enjoy. Between the food, drinks, and the warm, welcoming atmosphere, it felt like such a special night. The service was attentive without being overbearing, which really made the celebration even better. Haywire made my birthday dinner feel memorable, and I’ll definitely be back!
Amanda F — Google review
This restaurants strong suit isn't their food but the ambiance. They have 3 floors where you can dine, each level with its own vibe, so you get a different experience on different levels. I mean the food is ok but for the price they charge it's not something that has you wanting to come back. The interior decor is very nice and the location makes it a date worthy spot, though. I recommend checking it out but not for its food or service.

My husband and I had a wonderful first experience here. Heidi the GM is wonderful and you can tell her staff all love working there. Our server Britany was very attentive and so amazing. My husband had their signature Old fashioned and the double burger which he loved. I had the hot chicken sandwich and the Guava Jalapeno Margarita ( I always swap tequila with bourbon, trust me on this one, just do it.) Wonderful meal, we will absolutely be back.

This was a recommendation from some guys we met at a brewery and it did not disappoint! Jonah was our server and is the best server we experienced while visiting Frisco/ Plano TX. Jonah recommended his version of a surf & turf with a little Cajun cream sauce! It was absolutely mouth watering!!!! I had it with the garlic stuffed filet! This will be a meal I will remember for a long time!!!!! My hubby had the Ribeye with Chimmichurri rice and added garlic butter to his steak! It was perfectly seasoned and tender!!!! The bread pudding is to die for! The whiskey caramel sauce is sweet without being too sweet!!!! Do yourself a favor! Get to Haywire and ask for Jonah!!!!!! You won’t be disappointed!!!!!

Solid place to post up, shop, eat, or just walk around and vibe. 🛍️ Good mix of food spots, boutiques, and nighttime energy. You can pull up casual or clean it works either way. Parking can get a little packed during the evening rush, but the atmosphere makes up for it. Definitely one of Frisco’s go-to lifestyle hubs when you want to eat good, look good, and move right.

My go to here is We Whiten!!! It's excellent and has financial assistance with your dental goals! I love the calm music, the staff is a riot and surrounding the store is a fabulous hair salon and delicious restaurants!! Parking garage is your go to. Curbside parking just is an excuse for birds to poop on nice cars. Overall, it's a hell of a scene and shopping is great too!!

The Shops at Legacy is a beautiful and vibrant destination — easily one of the nicest shopping areas around. The atmosphere is upscale and well-designed, with tons of shopping options ranging from boutique stores to well-known brands. There’s no shortage of great restaurants, coffee shops, and spots to just hang out and take it all in. It definitely gets crowded (especially on weekends), but that’s to be expected with a place this popular. Despite the crowds, it’s still a great place to spend the day shopping, grabbing a bite, or just walking around and people-watching. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a well-rounded shopping and dining experience.

Legacy East in Plano delivers an elevated yet approachable experience. From thoughtfully curated boutiques to a wide variety of dining options, it’s the perfect place to spend an afternoon that effortlessly turns into evening.

Sushi restaurant
Last night, my wife and I had an unforgettable dining experience at Uchiko Plano. From the moment we stepped inside, we were enveloped in a beautifully designed space that seamlessly blends modern elegance with traditional Asian elements. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, setting the stage for what would be a remarkable evening. Despite arriving early to avoid the dinner rush, we found the restaurant bustling with energy.
Service was super nice. We sat at the sushi bar and the chef was pleasant to talk to. Wasn't afraid to answer any questions. Some of the dishes didn't line up timing wise from sushi bar to back kitchen, but portions aren't massive so it didn't clutter the dining area at the bar. Spent quite a bit of money ,but quality wise, some of the better sushi I've had in the DFW area. Will definitely visit again.

I had a wonderful time dining at Uchiko. They have a separate vegetarian menu which was impressive. I had Makimono - Inari and Veggie Crunchy (red kosha was super yummy) Nigiri - Kinoko Tempura Kabocha Everything was delicious, service was great too. Overall had an amazing experience. Thank you !!

Love Uchi? Don’t want Nobu overhead? Enjoy the Legacy West vibe? Uchiko is ready to take you on a journey. The Blue Fin tuna selection is amazing! The team was well trained and attentive. Hama Chili kicked off our meal with beautiful yellowtail and bright flavor. The Toro Nuta was unexpected, memorable, and gone in 60 seconds. The Kombu Carrots were like nothing we’ve really had before. Delectable. The night started with the warmest Valet we’ve had the pleasure to work with. What a treat.

Don’t expect to leave with a full stomach or in a timely fashion! It took over two and a half hours including a 45 minute wait for one roll in the middle of dinner. The serving sizes are tiny, the service is slow, and every dish is expensive. The fish was extremely fresh and delicious, but was overshadowed by the poor service and overall price. We paid more for this dinner than a Michelin star meal. We ended up going across the street for food after to actually get a real meal. This was more like extremely expensive appetizers. I would not recommend this restaurant for sushi. Also note, the restaurant was not located where Google Maps directed us.

I came here for a guys’ dinner, and Uchiko Plano was absolutely perfect for a group of four or larger. The atmosphere is lively, social, and welcoming and exactly what you want for a night out with friends. Everyone we interacted with was warm and attentive, but our server really was the height of the experience. He was incredibly knowledgeable and guided us seamlessly through the SOMAKASE, where the server curates each dish for you. What impressed us most was how well he tailored the selections to our group. A couple of the guys aren’t big sushi fans, but he listened to our flavor preferences leaning more savory and less “fish-forward” ...and every recommendation hit the mark. By the end of the night, even the skeptics were convinced that SOMAKASE is the only way to go here. Every dish was spot-on, beautifully presented, and a rich tapestry of flavors. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a group dinner that’s equal parts fun and elevated dining.
Jim N — Google review
Some of the best service in DFW, they thoroughly made sure to verify each dish was in our dietary restrictions. Appreciate the more grilled component compared to uchiba and uchi. From espresso martini, hazi no daza, and lychee martini, the l.m was the standout. Espresso martini was a little too sweet. Nigiri orders were good, the maguro was deliciously seasoned. The crispy makimono rice puffs did leave an odd taste of cereal, which felt a little too far from maki rolls. Atmosphere was also excellent.

Uchiko was some of the finest food we’ve ever had. And we’ve had Michelin star restaurant food all over the world. Taste was next level. Service was excellent. My wife was impressed with her birthday dinner. Therefore I’m a happy husband. Uchiko accommodated our halal requirement with halal beef sourced from Australia.

Oh my god! This was hands down the best over all experience we had at a restaurant. We ended up her by chance. We almost went to a different Brazilian restaurant but since it was across from a horrible hotel and next to a place called “condom sense:smoke shop and pornography” we googled Brazilian steakhouse and with almost 5 stars we decided to make a reservation. It was my birthday and our server Kara made my day. From her friendly demeanor to her attentiveness I couldn’t have asked for a better birthday. I only regret not having enough time to go back again before we left. We plan on going back to TX for Christmas or maybe in the spring and we can wait to visit this restaurant again. We had many amazing culinary experiences while visiting Austin and Dallas, but Brasão was hands down the best! Best food, best staff, best environment, best location. *** try the flaming cheese cake! I’m not a dessert person but it was fabulous!***

My boyfriend and I visited for our anniversary dinner, and it was such a wonderful experience from start to finish. We had the 17 charcoal-grilled cuts, and every single one was amazing. The meats were tender, juicy, and cooked to perfection, with so much flavor in every bite. The service was outstanding, with everyone being so kind, friendly, and attentive, making us feel truly welcomed. As a special touch, they brought out an anniversary dessert for us, which was the cherry on top of a perfect evening. Definitely a memorable experience, and we can’t wait to come back.

This was such a good experience. It was our 20th and it was all so good. The service was phenomenal, my only feedback was that we didn’t see any of the bacon wrapped meats. So make sure to ask for a list of meats so you don’t miss anything cause there is a lot going on. They had two drinks that were unlimited the rest were per drink even the fancy water. Just make sure to say I’m good with the water when your bottle is empty. One bottle went pretty far for our table of 3. The salad bar was really good, I’d go just for that if it was closer to me. The Brazilian lemonade was delicious. We put in our reservation that it was our anniversary and they had the card in our table, and we got a beautiful free desert to share. 10 out of 10 Please tip your server well they deserve it.

Italian restaurant
North Italia is a trendy trattoria with a vibrant bar that serves modern interpretations of traditional Italian dishes. Situated in the Legacy West area, it offers a great view of the fountains and is perfect for people-watching. The restaurant hosts happy hour on weekdays and features discounted drinks and dishes. On Sundays, guests can enjoy half-priced select bottles of wine and indulge in a delectable brunch menu. The restaurant's upscale location among popular shops and eateries makes it an ideal dining destination.
I’ve been to this place numerous times, so I’m a bit late to write this review. The ambiance is incredible, and the staff is always friendly and welcoming. Reservations are highly recommended, as the place gets busy quickly even on weekdays. They have a great selection of food items, and some of my favorites are on the menu. They also have a decent wine collection.

Our lunch at North Italia was an absolute delight! The atmosphere was fantastic, with a lively and warm buzz that made us feel good. The service was truly exceptional; our server was a total pro, expertly guiding us through the wine list and even recommending the perfect pairing for our meal. And the food? It was as delicious as it was beautiful. Each dish was crafted with care and presented wonderfully. For anyone craving authentic Italian food, this place is a must-visit!

Great place to get a refreshing cocktail or a light lunch, or have lunch if that is your preference. I stopped by for a late lunch yesterday and I loved the environment. The interior decor is welcoming and warming. They have indoor and outdoor seating. I sat at the bar which had comfy seats. The female bartender wearing the black shirt was great. She had been working there since 8am but still managed to put a smile on her face. I ordered the salmon and replaced the pasta with vegetables. The vegetables were well seasoned and buttered. The salmon was good but a little dry. It didn’t come with any type of sauce or even a lemon. One thing I did notice also was that the female host was a little dismissive and unwelcoming. I remember walking in and the first thing she said to me was “can I help?”. Of course this is not how you should welcome guests into your restaurant. Overall, though I wouldn’t mind coming back to this place. They do have a great atmosphere.

North Italia is one of our favorite chain Italian spots in DFW. We often go for brunch and it never disappoints. We haven't had anything there that we didn't like and the service is wonderful. I can't recommend the white truffle garlic bread enough. I would go there just for that! This time I also had the bolognese which is the house specialty. It was excellent! My husband had the chicken pesto and loved it as well. We were seated in the back right by the windows to the kitchen. I loved watching them prepare the pizzas and entrees. I trust a restaurant more when they have an open kitchen. We could see all the ingredients and brands they used and everything was top notch.

Looking for a nice Italian restaurant that understands Italian? Here's your spot. The service was great as the server was very engaging. She made sure to offer drinks, appetizers and entrees separately. She was on time for refills on drinks. The food was well cooked and tasted wonderful. I suggest the lasagna and spicy rigattoni. Great for business meetings, special occasions for couples and dates. I suggest making reservations in advance. Enjoy!

I hate having to write this, as I have been consistently going to this North italia location for the past few months on a weekly or biweekly basis. The food is always spectacular, however, over the past couple weeks, the service and staff started treating myself and my coworkers rather terribly. I’ve been a big advocate of this location, as well as have been telling others about how good the service has been, however, unfortunately, after this week that has all changed. I always order my food in advance and ask to sit at the bar. The past few times I have came, the staff has been treating me and my coworkers rudely telling us that we’re not allowed to do that despite having had done it in the past. I understand that rules can change, however, I really don’t think it’s a good look considering I’m just as much as a paying customer as everybody else. Not only that, but the staff claims that they’re doing this because they need to save space… I’m including an image of the bar when I left it…completely empty. I can’t help that I have too quick a lunch break to sit down and order right then and there. They have the space and have always had the space, they’re just determined to be rude to myself and my coworkers, for whatever reason— not wanting to seat us. I hate to say this, but I will no longer be convincing my coworkers to continue our weekly trips to North Italia. I don’t feel welcome here by the staff and I also cannot encourage anybody to continue eating out at a place where they are so quickly turn on consistent paying customers. They were rude, reluctant to give us water, and reluctant to give us cutlery. The staff at the entrance and the bar tried to ignore us and also gave us dirty looks. Horrendous Horrendous
