We most often go to the location at four corners. The bartenders are always friendly helpful, and attentive to their customers. They no all.the regulars. The good is always good. Breakfast all day, how can you go wrong? We've been to the Thunderbird location a couple of times. read more

They make the best French toast. And they're not skimpy on what you get like many other places are.

Good food! Great staff It's a great neighborhood restaurant that has good food and drinks read more

We love the Haymaker! My favorite is their Caesar salad with hot chicken on top but their pulled pork is absolutely amazing too! The staff is always so friendly and knowledgeable. I also love the prayer that's on the wall - we say this every time before we eat! :) read more

The manager Tara is outstanding I saw her give an employee the shirt off of her back managers should aspire to be as good as Tara ! I've been coming for years and every time my experience is awesome I see her in the background behind the scenes making magic happen ! Thank you Tara! read more

A+ service, food and atmosphere in their new location. We always enjoy Sunday breakfast/ brunch as a family here!

I am always pleased with my food, I usually order the same thing and it's always cooked exactly how I like it. The new location on Lake Pleasant is very nice. Today however, while waiting for someone to come up front to seat me, a young waitress came up , walked right past me to the people next to me and asked to seat them. Fortunately the party advised them that i was there first. I was of course the older person so she went straight to the younger group like i didn't exist. Not a good start. But as usual the food was good read more

We were in the area on Thursday, 8/19, so decided to have dinner here. BIG mistake. The beer was good but the food needs work. The burger i ordered was overcooked and very dry. My husband had the two piece cod dinner ... very bad. Before happy hour ended, we ordered two mixed drinks .. both were watered down. Disappointing experience. A positive was the waitress. We will not return. read more

The adult grilled cheese was so good! Also enjoyed the pink lady drink. Everyone enjoyed the meal and we will visit again. read more

Good beer, good food, good service. What else? Stopped by here for late lunch on weekend and I really enjoyed their ambiance, very good local beer, friendly service and food. They have happy hour all afternoon and local beer is $4. Some beer is only $2 should you prefer. I ordered darkest beer they had and it was rich and creamy, I liked their dark beer. My grilled cheese was served with bacon, avocado, and some others, it's not traditional grilled cheese we used to eat as a kid, their adult grilled cheese is quite filling and good. Our server had a nice smile and he was friendly. Really liked their decor, they support military and nice to see that on their walls. If I am in the area, I would come back again read more

Went for breakfast! Amazing food, service and ambiance. Love the breakfast burrito! Had several networking events in their space and it was an excellent venue! read more

Been to this location many times and had a good breakfast! This last trip a couple days ago was tearable! The waitress acted like we were bothering her and the food was poor at best! Had the Avocado Toast which did not have enough Avocado to turn the toast green and the poached eggs were solid in the middle! The sausage and cheese was OK, but overall a bad experience! read more

Comfort food! Great breakfast choices. I do love their French dip but the last few times the meat has been tough. The cook should trim the fat off. Burgers are very good. read more

Decided to give this place a try since it's right down the street where we live and reviews seemed convincing. What's cool is that you can call them ahead of time and join a wait list if they're busy. I ordered the Huevos Rancheros and specifically asked for scrambled eggs instead of sunny side up. Can't have undercooked egg yolk because I'm pregnant. Food came out in about 15-20 mins and as I immediately cut into my eggs, they were runny. I let the waitress know as soon as I saw and she was happy to fix my order. It sucked that I had to sit and watch my husband finish his plate while I waited for my plate to come. The reason to my 3 star review is not the quality or taste of the food, it's mostly on service. She seemed so rushed and as soon as my new plate came out she served us with the check. At that point, I felt rushed to finish my food and I didn't even get to enjoy it all since more than half of my plate was boxed up. Food is great, I just had a bad experience with our service. I do want to come back and try different things on the menu and hope this time around it works out better! read more

I really wish I was able to take this business back home with me, after vacation. I've been to the Phoenix area two times in my life. Each time I've made a point to come to this restaurant, and specifically this location. There's something about the Peoria area that I love. Maybe it's the scenery, or people, or my slight obsession with The Haymaker. Its probably just all three. The drinks are amazing. I'm a "Old Fashioned" enthusiast, and this restaurant does not disappoint. There's not much to say about the food. Other than you cannot, yes cannot go wrong. The last time I visited this majestic restaurant, I brought my entire wedding party. The poor sever was running around all night. We had people from as far East as Raleigh and as far West as L.A. And when the food came out, crickets! Keep a seat warm for me, I'll be back. read more

I have tried many breakfast places in my area and breakfast is my favorite food. I went to the Haymaker for the first time today. I live in the area and have always passed by it. I ordered the Strawberry Cheesecake Pancakes and an order of Hashbrowns. This has been the best breakfast I have had here in Peoria, AZ. They were very clean on the inside and delicious food can't get any better than that. The service was also amazing as well even though I ordered to go. read more

Food has always been good, lots to from and we get a seat pretty quick even when it's crowded. A great place for family breakfasts.

Great for both dine in and takeout. This is one my my consistent and reliable places to eat at. I've had several menu items and everything is just as good as the last, and they give nice big portions. Always have friendly staff from the managers down. read more

Great food; wonderful staff! Gluten-free options. Friendly staff. Would rather eat here. Local business

I was so excited this morning to meet a long time friend I haven't been able to see in forever at The Haymaker off Lake Pleasant and Happy Valley in Peoria. It's been forever and couldn't wait to catch up. We were looking for somewhere close enough for the both of us and couldn't wait to try someplace new. Parking can get a bit tight in front of the building, especially if the McDonald's drive thru is busy, but there's tons more spaces across the way with no real extra walk. The Haymaker has multiple locations so you are not limited to this one. When we arrived we were greeted quickly and were seated with no wait. The location isn't small, but it's not super huge either. Even though it was a Wednesday around 930am they were filling up fast. It's an obvious favorite for many. I could not wait to get one of their Eggs Benedict options because I'd heard from so many how tasty they all were. If you know me I'm on a bit of a Benny kick right now ha ha. Our waitress took our drink order and gave us a little time to decide. My friend went with the waffles and country potatoes with a side of fruit. After a hard decision between their Classic Eggs Benedict or the Left Coast Benedict I went with the Left Coast Because the grilled Turkey sounded different and it also was topped with grilled tomato, sliced avocado as well as the poached eggs of course. You can choose between one egg if you can't eat two of the Benedict. I ordered the two with hash browns and a side of fruit. Why? Because I live to be happy and full ha ha. I also know the owner of The Haymaker owns NW Coffee in Peoria as well which is awesome so I ordered the Cocomo Joe iced coffee. I 100% knew it would be well worth it. Our food came out very fast and all looked wonderful. The fruit was fresh, my eggs Benny were cooked perfectly and not bland or soggy like some. The tomato was grilled to perfection and my avocado perfectly ripe. The hollandaise sauce was flavorful. The hash browns perfectly browned as well. My friends plate was just as great. We both ended up clearing our plates. My coffee was so delicious. The whip on top sealed the deal. We were able to sit and chat a bit longer while We finished our drinks without feeling rushed. I almost drove over to NW Coffee when we were done for more, but unfortunately I ran out of time. Our server was friendly and attentive. Great breakfast, good portions and the prices were pretty good in this economy where everything is so pricy. read more

First time here. It's hard to find a good fun west valley brunch spot. This wasn't too bad. The staff was nice, place was clean & food was pretty good! The only things I would say was my food could have been a little warmer (it got cold within about 5 minutes) & I wish there was some music playing. Price wise was great as well. We will definitely be back to Haymaker! read more

After consulting a few of the locals here on Peoria, we were told by several people to try breakfast here. We were a bit concerned though as it was a Sunday morning and we expected a crowd. Luckily we got here right before the NFL crowd shows up. We were able to pick from seating at the bar or in the dining area. We chose the bar and we immediately greeted by Cori. She showed us a few things in the menu and took our drinks orders. We got a couple of the Bacon Bloody's and some coffee. We then were served our breakfast. I got the Huevos Benedictos (AWESOME!) and my wife got the Salmon BLT (AWESOME!). We really enjoyed our time with Cori, enjoyed the food and the other patrons at the bar. Very cool and we will be back when visiting read more

First time to Haymaker as it is close to home. In the mood for a lively place for breakfast and burgers. We arrived at the peak of lunch on a Saturday and was hoping to grab a quick bite. Unfortunately we were sat by the bar at a side table with no dedicated server. Good selection of food but service and execution was poor. I believe our order got lost and conveniently found after asking for an update upon waiting 20-25 mins. A bit sad when you notice when folks who are seated same time as you have been and gone, and still no food or drink refill. Places like this only survive temporarily. It seems like a trend here on the West side. Sadly I will wait to revisit this place. read more

My wife and I tried this place for lunch. Had the fish and chips and fried zucchini for appetizer. Both meals were greasy and soggy. Worst I've ever had. Ambiance was average. Service was ok but not great. Will never go back. read more

We came here for lunch a few days ago and we're so pleasantly surprised. The bar is small but cute with a tv for sports on. The bartender, Shane, treated the whole bar top as one which was so smart as it allowed us to meet the couples to the left and right of us and everyone had fun talking. I had the French dip and it was awesome. They have fruity pebble French toast on the menu which I do want to try next time. Only down side to this place is when it finally gets cooler here they don't have a patio. Will be back on hot days when it's best to stay inside. Thanks again to Shane who really was so welcoming and kind to everyone. read more

The service was just ok but the food was great. We ordered to go as usual and it took about 10 minutes longer than the 20 minutes we were quoted. 4 stars because the hostess freaked out and snapped at her co-worker when all seemed pretty chill. Food: he had the bacon burrito and also strawberry cheesecake pancakes. He raved about those pancakes, which were enjoyed a few hours after we picked up the order so I guess they held up well! Burrito was easy to eat in the car. I had the classic Benedict on gluten free toast. This was a bit messy even though they put the sauce on the side. Much more difficult to enjoy to go as the bread was tough and cutting through the box was a risk. Overall good taste and I had fries with it which was a good choice. read more

I have only done breakfast there, and it was good, but not amazing. The restaurant is extremely dark, and sometimes feels like you are in a cave. Every time I have been there, the service has been slow. read more

Nothing worse when you have been sick for a week and you are finally feeling better and your husband says what can I get you to eat. I say the French dip from Haymaker. He orders to go and comes home and they do not put the aju with the order. The sandwich has no melted cheese and the beef has no flavor. This is what I really wanted and Haymaker really let me down. I could have chosen anywhere. Well it won't be Haymaker anymore for me. read more

I want to mention that I've never given a bad restaurant review. This will be the first. This evening I decided to try Haymakers on Lake Pleasant for the first time. I ordered the Brisket Platter. Over half the brisket was actually fat, the macaroni and cheese was absent the cheese/flavor & I made a sad mistake in thinking the cowboy beans meant baked beans with the sweet taste. I was so very disappointed with the whole order. I probably don't have to say it but I won't be going here again. I wasted my money and didn't get to eat dinner. Apparently there are some that like this food but I'm not on that list. Really wish I could post the picture here. read more

Haymaker - Brisket Platter - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Peoria, Arizona

We had a great breakfast here on a weekday morning. The service was very friendly and attentive. The interior was clean and well maintained. The donut holes are a MUST!! Hot, fresh and delicious! My eggs Benedict was cooked perfectly and the hollandaise was spot on. My husband loved his chicken fried steak as well. Definitely a great place for breakfast in the area. We will be back for lunch or dinner, for sure! read more

The outside can be deceiving. Once you find the door to go in, the place is big and the smell of smoked meat and atmosphere is great. Our waitress was very attentive and took good care of us. All of the food looked and tasted fantastic. The brisket fell apart easily and was mouthwatering. Everyone loved the macaroni and cheese, the beans. My wife and I loved the onion rings appetizer. It had great flavor and was crunchy. My son ate ribs and the meat had its body, but fell off the bone easily. The BBQ sauce was sweet and spicy. The waitress told us it was house made. To bad we couldn't buy a bottle of it. My wife ordered the southwest chicken salad. She said it was fantastic. Hopefully we can go here again while we are out here on vacation. read more

Took the two grandkids there to get some dinner we ordered some cheese curds, the kids decided they wanted breakfast for dinner so we ordered a blueberry pancake, some broccoli, macaroni and cheese and 2 BLAT's the cheese curds were OK. The blueberry pancake was not good at all and the sausage that came with It looked like it had been cooked that morning and sitting all day . We were eating at 5:00pm the BLAT's had absolutely no taste where we couldn't even finish them. My wife who loved pancakes, tried the blueberry pancake and said it was awful the kids Love mac & cheese didn't not even finish the plate. When it became time to pay the waiter who was good came over with the bill and asked how everything was. This was the first time I've ever said that the food was not very good. He did want to bring over the manager, but I said that was not necessary. I just paid the bill and we left. It will be the last time we ever eat there again. We have eaten there before at the old location and it was good. I don't know if because of this new location or what but the food for some reason was really bad tonight. read more

We always frequent the TBird location, but we thought we would stop here today. Wait time was long. It seemed like they were short staffed. We ordered, and they were out of chicken fried steak. So I just ordered French toast. My husband ordered, and they came back like 15 minutes later and said they were out of brisket as well. Service was slow and just a little disappointed because we never have problems at the other location. read more

The service here is absolutely amazing. Our waitress was so nice. The food was good, but we had a bunch of issues with our orders. I ordered a vegan burger with tomato and lettuce. When I got the burger it had cheese and some house sauce and no tomato. A couple other people had missing sides and brought us the wrong dish for another person. Once the food finally came it was good but a lot of issues. Wish there were more vegan options. read more

Atmosphere, D'backs on tv, food, service, military discount. We have really enjoyed this place the past 8 years.

Yelp asked me to do a review of my restaurant experiences in my area. First I'll do Haymaker. I've NEVER had a bad meal at Haymaker. If I didn't have a medical issue I would go there more often. It reminds me of Coco's in Scottsdale in The 70s and 80s. Their onion rings are area awesome. Same as the Blueberry pancakes, French dip. Any time I've had an issue they're quick to make it right. It's clean and management knows how to run the business. I know there's a Beef shortage going on but when it clears up it would be nice if they had steak on the menu. Nothing like Steak and Eggs read more

Food is always great at Haymaker, no complaints there. That's why I'm giving 2 stars. Usually service is decent. And perhaps I'm not understanding the role of a server. My thought would be that their main responsibility is to SERVE the food, keep drinks refilled, SERVE the customer etc. I would have gladly dined at home if I wanted to serve myself. The servers multiple times would pass myself or one of my family members drinks or plates to pass onto the person sitting next to me... just walk around and serve the item. It's literally in the name of the job description. Additionally, drinks were ignored and left unfilled for the duration of our visit. After the server asking us, the customers, to pass out all the drinks and majority of the plates, we asked one of the servers to please SERVE the hot plate herself instead of myself or my elderly family members sitting next to me passing it to the recipient. She scoffed and slammed the plate on the table. We used to come here often, and would rave about the great service, friendly staff, and how they really take care of those who have served (great military discount). The customer service has rapidly declined, even the presentation of the staff is... dirty, not put together... poor reflection on the establishment. For lack of a better term, this location of the Haymaker is trashy. I guess they're trying to align the staff to the overall ambience of the restaurant. Apples don't fall far from the tree. read more

Fairly decent food. The fried zucchini and meatloaf are good. Breakfast is a bit greasy. We enjoy the bar setting.
