Heymaker is kind of a hit and miss. I love their chicken strips, but when they come with fries, you have to make sure you ask to have them fresh and hot. Or they come warm/cold. And when they come with the waffles, the waffles are cold. The staff is great read more

Da N-n-n-neighbor Mike and I broke our fast, here, this fine, sunny day. Both of us were jonesin' for pancakes. And that's exactly what we ordered. And boy howdy were we impressed. The warm plates were delivered with hot cakes. The real, whipped cow butter had already started melting. There was even butter between the cakes -- already melted. The cakes were griddled to perfection. Light and fluffy. Not too thin. Not too thick. A perfect shade of light brown with hints of yellow from the egg-rich batter. Plateside, a gleaming mini-pitcher of warm syrup. Yes, warm. Not in a bottle. In unison we syrup-ed the cakes. First bite: swoonville! I would swear I could taste vanilla (a favorite!) and a hint of acid á la the buttermilk. For protein, Mike and I are firmly rooted in the belief that sausage is the best accompaniment. (With Cheers' Cliff Claven-esque pontificating: bacon's too close to the overall flavor of pancakes and syrup. Sausage cuts through with its salty/herb-y goodness.) And the kitchen delivered two perfectly-browned and -sized pork sausage links. Mild of spice, the links were delicious. The skin popped and cracked with each cut 'n' chew. Service? Our waitron was perfect. Aprés serving, she checked on us twice. Told us to take our time. And, refilled our coffee cups to the half point just like we asked. Again, told us no rush. Asked how we wanted to pay, I said we'd split the ticket fiddy-fiddy. And in mere moments she arrived with two tickets. Upshot? In his inimitable way Mike summed "If this is the way this place cooks and serves pancakes, I'll be back. And with our tummies full, our brains caffeinated we exited the joint through the always unlocked -- and convenient -- side door into a sun-drenched environ. read more

I've been to other locations before and hadn't had the best experiences, so coming here felt like a shot in the dark -- but I'm glad we did. This location really stood out. The service was excellent, and the food was spot-on and really good. The open restaurant feel made it comfortable, and everyone we interacted with was friendly and welcoming. Definitely a much better experience than I expected. read more

Wow! What a nice, relaxing environment. The staff is very pleasant and attentive. I try the croissant sandwich. It included ham, eggs, cheese, spinach, and tomatoes with a side of hash browns. The meal was delicious. There was no way I could finish that whole croissant, but I tried. Lol There are several TVS throughout so that you can catch the game. There is accessible parking and entrance. read more

The doughnut holes were probably the best food that we ate that morning. The biscuits were light and fluffy but the gravy was Very underwhelming. The chicken was crispy and the waffles had nice texture. The strawberry cream cheese pancakes were good. The star of that dish was the honey butter. The best things we ate today were the appetizer and the honey butter, followed by the biscuit. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere was very welcoming. Not a great breakfast spot, but not a bad breakfast spot either. *** average food **** above average food at a reasonable price. ***** Unique food. The drive is worth the price. read more

We had breakfast at the haymaker this morning and it was amazing in every way. Savannah took great care of us and the food was memorable. I tried the brisket skillet along with a Bloody Mary. The skillet did not disappoint. The ladies at the table all had the chicken and waffles and raved about it. We will be back again and again to make our way around the menu. Thanks for making service great again! read more

I've eaten lunch at two different Haymakers in the past and they were not very good, so I was hesitant to try this new one relatively close to my house. My mom's friends had breakfast there and enjoyed it, so I decided to give their breakfast a try. I got the California omelette, which comes with fresh fruit or fried potatoes as a side plus toast or a biscuit. I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was!!! The place was nice and clean inside and the service was friendly. Maybe they should be better known for their breakfasts!! I will be back! read more

This is my second time here at this location. Had a bad first experience and my second experience - not great. I ordered the eggs Benedict that comes with spinach, avocados and tomatoes. It didn't have the avocado. It didn't hit me until I was half way through. I got up and grabbed the menu just to verify. Our waitress never came back to check on us and I looked around and just never saw her again. She finally popped over to hand me the bill. When I told her, she said "you should have told me and I would have gotten you a side" I said "I couldn't find you and as I was mid sentence she walked away" I just have no need to ever go back. Just disappointed. We needed a breakfast spot in the neighborhood. read more

First time at this location. Waiter was friendly and the space is cute and comfortable. Food was super bland. I had the pulled pork and coleslaw and my friend had a burger. Whoever was in the kitchen is not seasoning anything. Food quality was good so it's not that. read more

Great eggs Benedict. Drinks are good. Service was on par. Clean and tidy both dining area and the bar.

Came in for lunch and again, Haymaker did not disappoint. I had the Brisket and the wife had the Grown up Grilled Cheese sandwich. Brisket was tasty and presented on a soft bun w BBQ sauce. The grilled cheese was tasty but the wife suggests that the sandwich could have been left in the oven a little longer to melt the cheese just a bit more. I had a side salad w the apple cider dressing that was dynamite! Anthony our server was outstanding! read more

A great fit on the island of Verrado. We already have fine dining at Tempo, and great Italian at Grazie, and then there's the grill at the golf course (which is marginal!). So, now we get a great breakfast spot with comfort food for dinner, and all of Verrado is rejoicing! We ordered the sampler appetizer platter and it was awesome! A good selection, including fried zucchini, fried pickles, etc. I ordered the chicken strips and they were fine, but my wife ordered the honey glazed salmon, and it was out of this world! You gotta try this dish. I think the server's name was Travis, and he did a great job too. Welcome to Verrado! read more

The service was great! Food not great. I ordered biscuits and gravy with country potatoes. The biscuits were so sweet they tasted more like pancakes. Biscuits should be a little salty. Not sweet. Their version of country potatoes involves chopped potatoes put in a deep fryer. Unbelievable. If I wanted deep fried potatoes I would have ordered fries. The potatoes were deep fried to the point they were a dark brown color with not much potato left inside the hard crust. My server was super nice about it and had the cook remake them. The new "country potatoes" were maybe 2 shades lighter than the first. This place needs to stop half assing it. Where in the world do country potatoes mean deep fried potatoes? No where. Get a better recipe for the biscuits too. I'll just make mine at home. Made the correct way. read more

Today we went back for the second time to the haymaker for breakfast. I had their classic eggs Benedict and my wife had their Belgium waffle the Benedict was very good and so was the waffle and as usual the service was good. read more

After visiting Haymaker consistently for four straight weeks, I've returned to update my review to five stars. My hubby and I have been working our way through the menu and have continued to find great options for both breakfast and lunch/dinner. Their Chicken & Waffles is fabulous, and the whipped honey butter that accompanies it makes it simply divine. The Huevos Benedicto is delightful (yes, I am a chorizo fan). And now, here's a real shocker -- the turkey melt! Turkey usually makes my mouth yawn, but not this yummy sandwich. Why? Diced chiles and chipotle aioli. So happy to be enjoying this restaurant weekly. You simply must give it a try. read more

Let me just start by saying that the Haymaker Benedict is a masterpiece. Very unique take on a benedict. I've had a lot of breakfast dishes in my day, but this one? It's in a league of its own. Imagine layers of flavor stacked just right--smashed potatoes (yummy chunky mashers), hand-battered fried chicken that's crisp on the outside and tender on the inside, hickory-smoked bacon, melty cheddar, fresh sautéed spinach, grilled tomato, and fluffy scrambled eggs, all brought together with a chipotle cream that has just the right amount of kick. I wouldn't change a single thing. It's that good. Now, as amazing as the food was, the real star of the show was our server Brittany. She was warm, attentive, and had the kind of energy that makes you feel instantly at home. Brittany didn't just take our order, she elevated the entire experience. She had great recommendations and kept our waters full without us even noticing. She was funny, genuine, and clearly loves what she does! If you're looking for a breakfast spot that knows how to do comfort food right and pairs it with genuine service, give this place a go. read more

Food was fabulous and service was fast and friendly! We love that there is finally a breakfast place in Verrado

My meal was decent, fried chicken sam with buffalo sauce. Didn't really notice the buffalo sauce so seems like the upcharge isn't necessary. Fried pickles with 1000 island were really good and I'm typically a chip over spear person. My wife had eggs benny and wouldn't recommend that. Between the poached eggs and the plateful of Hollandaise sauce it looks more like a breakfast soup. She ordered over hard eggs instead of poached but the order was messed up and she had to just push the eggs aside (she doesn't eat runny eggs). Will go back since it's so close to try some other things and update read more

My wife and I tried Haymakers for the first time this Saturday. We had never been to other locations but were happy that Verrado has a new place to eat(choices are slim here ). We decided that breakfast was what we were craving so we arrived around 8:45 in the morning. We found two very comfortable seats at the bar and sat down. We were greeted immediately by two bartenders. We ordered two Irish Coffees which were delicious. I am a huge cinnamon roll fan so we decided to split a cinnamon roll before our entree. The cinnamon roll had potential but not in my top 10. It was served cold, which took away from the flavor but it wasn't bad. My wife had biscuits and gravy and I decided on chicken and waffles. My wife liked hers but mine was DELICIOUS. The chicken strips were some of the best I have ever had. The waffles were good as well, but the chicken strips were an A+. Overall a great experience. We will be back not only for breakfast but also to try the other foods as well. On a side note,the restaurant is super nice inside and very clean. Thank you Haymakers and team. read more

The haymaker is newly opened and I have rated in Peoria several times. The food was as expected, the service was standard. The meal came out in a reasonable amount of time. The music I. The mid afternoon was a bit loud and created an environment that competed with a casual conversation. Will definitely go back when in the area. read more

We came out to Verrado this morning to hike the steps and had intention on stopping for coffee somewhere nearby. With the wind and such we decided to look for breakfast nearby in hopes it would die down while we ate. I was pleasantly surprised to see a Haymaker nearby. It apparently opened about a week ago. You'd never know it because they honestly had it all pretty dialed in. For a late breakfast on a Thursday it was pretty busy. We chose to sit at the bar. We were greeted quickly and our drink orders taken. We both opted for a coffee of course and waters. They brought over some creamer and a little vanilla syrup as they don't have packets. They use four leaf coffee and the flavor was great. Not acidic and hot. We decided on the All American and Cowboy breakfasts. Mine with bacon and his sausage. We also ordered a side of biscuits and gravy. Which ended up being the highlight of our meal. I try biscuits and gravy every time we go to breakfast and leave typically disappointed. The only flavor consistent seams tp be flour. Biscuits over cooked. Awful.....not at Haymaker though. The biscuit was huge, fluffy and light and the gravy full of flavor and didn't deal heavy and dry. I'd come back just for that. So dang good.. service was the only thing keeping today's visit from being five stars for me. It wasn't horrible, but sitting at the side of the bar seemed to be their dead zone. It was hard to get their attention and a few times we had to wait for quite a bit to get a coffee refill etc. Lviv's is cozy and I loved that they had so many windows. It was bright and made it feel larger. I'd definitely come back. read more

First time visiting this Haymaker location. Service was very good it's a new buildout so ambiance was simple and clean. As far as food I was a bit disappointed The zucchini was bland until I added a little salt and was sitting in a pool of oil. The $16 burger was fair. French fries were sparse and tasted like any fast food joint Not as good as in n out I'll give it a try again in a few months as we love the location read more

Just tried out the Haymakers in Verrado last night with the wife. We tied the bloddy Mary drink which seemed a little salty for my wifes tastes but had a nice kick. I tried and old fashion which was not bad and the beer was cold. I eat gluten free and the had buns and bread as options which was nice. Love the location surprised it was not jam packed. read more

Friendly staff and love the atmosphere and decor. Ordered a California Omelette. Barely a pinch of cheese and very few bacon crumbles. Also the tiniest bit of avocado on top. The hash-browns had funny taste and definitely not cooked with butter. Toast is a single slice cut in half with barely noticeable butter on it. At $16.50 for the plate, I would most likely not come back. I realize they have a captive client base being based in Verrado and running a restaurant is expensive these days but please throw a handful of cheese and lots of bacon on the omelette and two slices of toast please with decent amount of butter. read more

My wife and I have been back several times since my first post. For the most part, the food has been OK. The staff are always super friendly and nice. Never seems like they are shortstaffed, although it has been into the slower season. Last week, my wife ordered a chicken Caesar. She ordered one about a month ago and wasn't a fan of the over seasoned, on the salty side room temperature chicken. Brittany told her that the next time she orders that salad to ask them to make the chicken fresh. She placed her order and told Melissa to have the chicken prepared fresh, but it didn't come out that way. Again we love the staff, but overall the food is just OK. It's not anything to rave about. Of course we haven't had everything on the menu, but we've had plenty of items to know that sometimes things are Too salty or not the right temperature not enough sauce or too much breading for examples. read more

The food is good but the service provided by Karen is Amazing! She always makes sure the drinks are full!

Visited Haymakers on a weekday around 11am. There was a bit of a crowd, but nothing too busy, and I was seated quickly. Service was fairly fast, and my order came out correct and served hot, which I really appreciated. One thing to note -- the wait staff didn't offer drink refills, which would've made the experience even better. Overall, though, it was a good visit. Parking Warning: The parking situation isn't great. The lot is small, it was tough to find a spot, and it's shared with several other businesses, so be prepared for a bit of a struggle. All in all, solid experience with good food -- just plan ahead for parking! read more
