Heyday is one of my top places to grab a drink, to have wings, and believe me TACOS!!! They do a pork belly taco that's so good! Although they aren't a designated sports bar, per se. I've watched Seahawks games there, and I watched the Mariners in the playoffs there. Had so much fun!!! read more

Had a great night out at Heyday last weekend. We were looking forward to their fries, specialty burgers, and unique list of starter plates. This restaurant can get a little busy in the evenings but we arrived around 4:30pm for that reason. The spicy pickle starter was fun and had a lot of variety to the vegetables- went well with our cocktails as well. The Saigon Burger is a full commitment to its inspiration. The blend of meats, pickled radish/carrots, fresh jalapeño, and cilantro was delicious. We split our large order of fries which apparently use a special potato which makes sense because I've only had fries like these here at this restaurant. Service was great- plenty attentive without feeling pressure to zoom through our meal. read more

Great service. Great food. Great special of the night. Highly recommend the Brussels and the Party Melt with tots.

I live in Mount Baker and would love to support this business. I went there during Happy Hour. I had 4 items which should have cost $46.00 including tip. I was charged $97.00, which I was shocked by. I paid because I was with other people and did not want to create an ugly scene. I later went back to confront my server, he said he tried to follow me and correct the mistake. I must say that I did not believe him. I truly believe that he tried to stiff me. By the way, he was the bartender, the slim guy with a knit cap and lots of tattoos. The restaurant business has gotten really sketchy, it's a shame, I will never done here again. The food is mediocre at best. read more

I like coming to Heyday for a nice casual meal where the staff is friendly and the burgers are good. Dang and his crew are wonderful and I always enjoy my meal when I come. I had the tacos this time while my friends had the jerk chicken burger and the lamb burger. My friend who ate the lamb burger said she would've licked the plate if she could. We also shared the large tots which hit the spot. I also had the salted caramel which was dessert but then, we had surprise dessert of the chocolate chip cookie in a cast iron skillet with ice cream on top. Can't go wrong with cookies and ice cream! Always street parking but it's never hard to find a spot. Thanks for a delicious meal Heyday! read more

So many good things about Heyday. We love the spicy chicken sandwich, the halloumi eggplant sandwich, all the burgers, and the quinoa crunch salad. Be sure to order the tater tots as well! Service is great too! read more

We came here on a whim on a weekday evening. It's a relatively small place but we were seated right away. It wasn't empty by any means but there were still a number of open tables. The food was above average but nothing mind-blowing. I had a codwich, my partner had fish and chips, and we shared a Mac and cheese special and Marion berry pie. My husband wanted Manny's since it was our last night in Seattle before moving away but unfortunately they were out. The service was pretty slow despite it not being super busy. It took a long time in particular to get our dessert and our check. I was seated facing the street but my partner said that the staff weren't busy tending to tables, just chatting with each other or with people at the bar. We'd probably come back again, but it wouldn't be at the top of our list. read more

A great brunch spot nested in the central district! Are you in the mood for a standard breakfast? A fancy one? Or maybe you just want to try something new? Look no further than Heyday, a restaurant in the Central District. This one one of my go-to brunch spots in Seattle. Their food is amazing, the staff is A1, and you'll always be satisfied--it doesn't matter if you're going for a brunch drink, a filling meal, or just to chat with friends. As I mentioned, the food is phenomenal. If you're open to trying something new, I highly recommend the pork belly barley bowl, but you can never go wrong with the Benedict, or breakfast burrito! I would also recommend sitting at the bar if you can. The staff behind the counter are great people to talk to! read more

Loved the experience bringing my kids here. Super kid friendly and quality food. We arrived around 6pm on a Saturday, no reservation. We were told about a 10 min wait and their timing tracked. There were lots of seats at the bar and every table in the dining room had kids, which is why we had to wait. Menu and drinks were super straightforward. We both got burgers. I loved the bacon bleu burger, the bacon jam was very flavorful. My husband got the Saigon burger. If you're looking for a non traditional burger, this is it! The space is on the smaller side but it feels very open and big, they do a good job with spacing between tables, they also seem very accommodating to larger groups. Good family friendly neighborhood vibe, looking forward to bringing my family back. read more

Adore the quinoa crunch salad. So nice to go out to eat and have something healthy and delicious. I like to add chicken or haloumi. The burgers are also tasty. Fried brussels w apricots oh gosh so good. Great spot! read more

Came for Brunch! Little bit of a wait - they are busy! And make sure you have a proof of vax! Got a short stack of Johny Cakes ($7) and added two poached eggs (+$3.5). Eggs were perfectly cooked and the Johny cakes were like eating two very fluffy rounds of cornbread - cheese curds in the middle were a nice touch! Friends got the BEC ($14) and the Heyday Breakfast ($10.5) which looked amazing!! Coffee comes from QED from down the street and is great! Definitely need to come again and try more things. Staff was very nice and attentive :) read more

I've been coming here for many years. The food has always been good, but it has definitely gotten even better. I got the bacon bleu burger this time and asked for it to be cooked medium rare. I also got a side of fries. The burger was delicious. The flavor of the bacon jam and the blue cheese really came through. It was sweet, salty, and had that indescribable blue cheese flavor. The burger patty was not very thick, but I did not mind. The meat tasted good as well. The fries were also delicious, medium thickness. The aioli that it came with was also great! The inside of the restaurant has a family-vibe in the seating area. There is also a bar, but it seems very grownup as this restaurant is in a neighborhood. The service was friendly and quick! read more

Love this place! Service and foods are outstanding. I'd recommend this place for brunch and dinner.

After our runs, we decided to treat ourselves with some brunch. It was a little busy when we got there but by the time we finished, there was a wait, so we got lucky. We ordered: Pork belly barley bowl: love the flavor and texture of Everything besides the pork belly. It should have been cooked longer cause it was just mushy and soft Lamb baked eggs: the eggs was overdone and the lamb was too fine that I couldn't tell. Bread was good though. Shortstack of Johnnycakes: first time having it and it was like a savory piece of bread. Goes pretty well with the syrup. Special of the day: lamb sausage with babaghanoush, olive tapanande, pita bread and golden beet slaw. This was soooooo good. I love everything except for the lamb sausage, a little too soft for my taste. But everything else was super good. Service was a little off, feels a little rush from one of the waiter. He took my plates away when I wasn't finished with eating but didn't take anyone else's. He also tried to take a plate of food away but we weren't even finish eating.. Overall, I want to come back to try their burgers one of these days :) read more

A few weeks ago I came here for the second time in about a year. The first time I went I ordered the fish and chips and I was disappointed. That was my bad since I already knew they were known for their burgers. For some reason I can't resist ordering fish and chips no matter where I go. Anyway, this time I ordered the bison burger and it was very delicious along with the crispy tots. We ordered the brussels sprouts again and they were also delicious. Great place to hang out. I love these neighborhood type joints that have a lax atmosphere. read more

We came in on a Sunday with the family for brunch. There was a short wait for a table but everything worked out very nice. Area: Located in a neighborhood area. Seemed to be very popular on the weekend of breakfast/brunch. Street parking nearby in a very walkable neighborhood. Streets felt safe and clean. Environment: Very nice interior dining area with a full bar and selection of beers & cocktails. Clean and tastefully decorated. Restaurant was brightly lit with a lot of natural light. Customer base was a good mix of families and adults with no children. If there is a wait and if you have no children, sitting at the bar is a nice option. Food: We ordered 4 different dishes to share. Everything was fresh & tasty. Our server made several recommendations which we tried and were very happy with our choices. Service: From start to finish the whole staff was very nice. Service was prompt and efficient which made waiting for a table go relatively quickly, since they are able to turnover the tables after guests leave fast. Overall, great experience. We plan to be back. Perhaps to try dinner next time. read more

Did they recently change management? Food tonight was a step down from a few months ago. Where are the homemade pickles?

Wow was this a hidden gem. It was too busy in downtown so we looked elsewhere and this looked good. So glad we tried it. It's got a low key vibe with tables inside and out. The servers are kind and the food comes out quickly. And the food is FANTASTIC! We got burgers and chicken sandwiches and you think that's safe and should be good. But they were great. The flavor in the meats was on point. The ingredients were fresh. There were 5 of us and we just kept saying how good everything tasted. Oh, and try the beer battered onion rings! read more

3.5 stars. Was super excited about this place after seeing lots of good reviews recently. I don't venture south too often but it was a good in between spot for a girls' brunch. We went a few weeks back on a Sunday around 12:30 and there was about a 20 minute wait for a table -- the place was busy! I don't believe they take reservations (at least they don't for 4 people). I wish I had more positives to say about this place b/c it has potential! Let's start w/ the positives: Pros: neighborhood parking, unique dishes on the menu like johnny cakes, lamb baked eggs, etc. (a nice deviation from the normal sausage and eggs, eggs bene, etc.), casual neighborhoody vibes. The Johnny Cakes were a highlight and I highly recommend them! They are pancakes filled w/ beecher's cheese and scallions (and then served w/ maple syrup). So, savory AND sweet - the perfect combo! We got a short stack to share :) I had the grapefruit and mint mojito and it was pretty small and average tasting ($8). I expected more of a mint flavor but the mint was just a garnish and the drink just tasted like grapefruit juice for the most part. Kind of disappointing.. I would not order this again. I had the smoky lamb baked eggs after the server recommended it as a top dish. At $13.50, this dish was pretty small. It was also not what I thought it would be -- the server described it as like a quiche -- but it was not fluffy at all nor runny (like baked eggs usually are). The egg yolk was light light yellow, like when you completely overcook an egg. ugh. The bits of lamb were fairly small too. It was also strange that the dish is served with grilled bread. Usually you use the bread to dip into the eggs or to put the somewhat runny/liquidy eggs on top of the bread. In this case, the eggs/lamb were dry/crumbly that it seemed weird to eat it with bread. It wasn't terrible but definitely small and not what I expected. :( Maybe this dish is usually better and I just got a not so good batch? I didn't get to ask my friends what they thought of their dishes, but I'd come back just for the johnny cakes and maybe would try a different entree as well... this place has potential and others seem to love it so I'd give them another chance... read more

This neighborhood burger joint features the best selections of burgers and seasonal salads! I was thrilled to see not only one but two vegetarian burger options on the menu! And the special of the night was crispy tofu salad! We ordered the bacon bleu, BYO and beety bean burgers. They were all fantastic! My bean burger was especially delicious! Loved all the toppings! The kale quinoa salad was very satisfying too. Gotta order tater tots with your burger! Highly recommend this friendly eatery for the tasty burgers and great beer selection! read more

Definitely one of the best burgers on Seattle. Haven't eaten here in person as we discovered them after COVID. They don't overcook and seem to hit the temperature we ask for. The bun is also good not too this or that. Other big bonus is they offer tots as that has been very hard to find in Seattle. Please help keep them in business! Cute neighborhood so hopefully someday we can eat in the restaurant. read more

Simple and delicious! Came in for a quick dinner and saw they had a happy hour until 6 so we hopped in the car and headed over. Happy hour was worthy of our attention so although the regular menu looked inviting, the deals were more luring. We opted for the BYOB BURGER, shareable happy hour tots and a couple vodka tonics. When the burger came out, my first impressing was..It's kind of small. But once I took my first bite, the juiciness of the meat, the softness of the ciabata bun and creaminess of the fontina cheese had me singing a new song. With each bite l savored the amazing awesomeness that was happening in my mouth. Then popped a few tots with a dab of aioli in my mouth and I was singing with the choir! Tots were crispy and delicious. Drinks were simple but well made and a deal at $6! We ended up speaking with the owner for a short bit and he was a super friendly guy. Turns out we're all from the same VALLEY ;). So happy to see a small business succeeding! What a great local eatery! Will be back next time we're in Leschi! read more

Awesome clean place. Tables were clean and the hostess were very friendly. Food was delicious, I tried Verde burger and my partner got the spicy chicken burger and we both were delighted with the taste. One area of improvement could be, for the price tag, maybe a bigger portion size or at least a side of fries would have been great! read more

Cute neighborhood spot for Mt Baker and Leschi community. Weekend brunch is usually busy but the wait is never longer than eight minutes. Great for small groups of four or less.

Great little bar and restaurant in Mt Baker! Friendly service, good food, and family friendly.

The place was very nice on a summer Saturday at 1pm. The restaurant was 2/3 full but the staff were not very attentive and the food took a while. As in we sat down, for some reason no one decided to check on us after. I had to grab someone's attention eventually to put an order in. Not sure why this was since it didn't appear very busy. Chocolate shake was good. Veggie baked eggs was ok and was quite filling. If that's all I had I could prob have just a bit more than half for brunch/lunch. The johnny cakes tasted kinda like if pancakes were made of cornbread. Wanted to try it, not bad, but not a must get again. We ordered one more thing and now I barely remember it. Overall, food was normal/average and a bit of a set back from the service. Best part was the summer day and layout of the restaurant with open windows. read more

We live in the area so we gave it a try but the menu seems like a scam... build your own burger start $9.75 then you add your topping .. which is fine but sliced few red onion is $1.00 two thin sliced tomato $1.00.. im mean other add in i understand to pay like bacon egg avocado but... few slices of red onion for $1.00???? Owner. Please just raise the burger price to $11.00 and have those add on to be included...and the lamb burger tasted very off... couldnt even finish the burger.. please taste that pattie before selling anymore... and these days apple or goggle pay is available but not here... good thing we live near by... read more

We walked here for brunch and had a great time! I will say it does get pretty busy so prepare for a little wait during the weekend. I ordered the eggs Benedict over potatoes instead of the bread (I'm GF) and it was delicious. Lovely mimosas as well. This place is a vibe! Highly recommend. read more

Heyday is in my neighborhood so it's a frequent spot for us, particularly for brunch. I love the lamb skillet for breakfast on the weekends. The burgers are excellent, and if you can swing a weekday happy hour the value can't be bread! $6 for HH burgers is hard to come by in these parts, so get here early for a good deal! read more

We've tried several of the burgers over several visits, and each was tasty. My favorite was the bacon bleu and my partner really enjoyed the bison. The beer and cider selection is also great. The restaurant always feels pretty buzzy although we've never had to wait for a seat. We'll continue making our way down the burger menu! read more

My first time at HeyDay 8 months ago had me wanting to come back for another date night dinner. However, our revisit here was unfortunately not as good as our first. I'm not sure, but the quality and finesse of the food seems to have downgraded since my first visit here. My partner ordered two different burgers than our first visit, and onion rings and tater tots like before. We tried the lamb burger and the bacon bleu burger this time. Both we're decent, but I was feeling really overwhelmed by the flavor. There are so many strong flavors going on that each flavor is no longer complimenting each other. Instead, they're all yelling and shouting over one another at the same time. The result is a burger that has overpowering flavors stacked on each other. It's really hard to appreciate the quality of the meat and it's side components when there are explosive flavors competing one another. In terms of our sides, the onion rings seemed to have been prepared with less attention now. Compared to my photo from our first visit, the onion rings are primarily oily, greasy batter now. The onion ring itself is very thick, and puffy. One of the reasons I liked HeyDay so much on our first visit was because of the light, thin coating of batter on the onion rings. This doesn't seem to be the way they're prepping it now. Furthermore, I felt like their tater tots didn't dazzle anymore. Honestly these tasted similar to the ones that you buy frozen at the grocery store. I was pretty unhappy that they weren't delicious like before. The place gets busy and it leaves servers moving around left and right. Service was great before, but my last visit left me feeling pretty standard about service. Overall, I was sad to leave HeyDay feeling like it didn't live up to its expectations from the first time I came. I'm on the fence about returning, especially because the place is bit on the higher end of price. If I'm going to be paying a higher price, I would hope that the satisfaction with my meal would correlate in the same direction. read more

PROS: Clean attractive restaurant. Plenty of interesting choices on the menu. Bleu Cheese Burger was cooked to order. The Jerk Chicken Sandwich had plenty of flavor. The tater tots were hot and crispy. CONS: Avoid the greasy, heavily battered, tasteless onion rings. They were just plain awful, even after I added more salt. The buns on both the burger and sandwich were way to wimpy to support all the drippy goopy toppings. It literally fell apart before 1/2 done eating it. The potato chips weren't fresh. The caramel boozy milkshake had very little alcohol in it. I could hardly taste the bourbon or the walnut liquor. The service was lacking, and generally rather cheerless. We had three different servers visit our table delivering food, etc, and no one cleared the empty drink glasses, until I finally said "You can take these." read more

Cute place. Straightforward menu. You can do eggs any style but no real scrambles or omelettes. No wait! A good number of outdoor tables. BUT, the eggs... someone doesn't know how to cook eggs. I had sunny side up but the yokes were half solid but the whites were still partially uncooked. My husband had over easy and got at minimum over medium. The lady at the table next to us had an avocado toast and her poached eggs were hard boiled. Come on... Home fries and tots and sausage were amazing though! read more

I absolutely love coming here for their brunch and I almost always have to have their delicious Johnny Cakes! Another favorite is their Quinoa Crunch that's full of amazing flavor and textures. I have tried all their baked egg dishes and they seem to come different each time with either the egg being over cooked and no yolk oozing, or the yolk cooked just right eith the ooze (my preference). The best time to come is early in the morning to guarantee seating (unless you have a group of 6 or more to make rsvps) so I like to get here before 11. read more

A trendy, upbeat, modern and hip eatery, with lots of kids? More on that soon. Upon walking in, it's like, okay, 8oz burger bar feeling, wood and metal abounds. It's warmly woody and dimly lit, but spacious and clean. They have a menu that rivals any burger place, because of the addition of skakes, drinks, and things like pork belly. It was a date night for us, but I think this is really the neighborhood family eatery. I enjoyed the fries there, they were nicely cooked, and seasoned nicely. I wished they came with the burger I ordered, but it's a la carte here, so a burger with fries is well past $18 bucks. I'm not a particularly cheap person, but I appreciate a good value. I think their pretty ambitious menu of Bison (which is already $17 if you include bacon), Jerk chicken, or even Cod for burger meats is pretty awesome. The Pork Belly was a nice welcome dish, while small plate, still tasty. So when I was there, we were at a booth (thankfully) but every table around us, has kids, and I wondered if that was the idea of this place, a nice, modern, family friend bar. I think if that was the case, it wins. Yes, not the cheapest place for a night out, but it's a nice night out you are looking for, Mission Accomplished. Look, we got there around 5:30, so it was probably the time when families go eat. I would suspect that later, it's more adult. I think it's still a nice 4 star yelp reviewed restaurant. read more

Heyday Bar & Restaurant - Burgers Near Me - Seattle, Washington

When all is said and done, Heyday is a smartly decorated bar with burgers and salads plus some interesting appetizers. Sitting atop Mount Baker Ridge, many table offer a view (from where I was sitting, I was able to see the iconic Pac Med Center over on Beacon Hill). From home, we hiked up Mount Baker Ridge to Heyday early this past Wednesday evening (OK, so actually we just walked up some stairs). Heyday was hopping with nearly all the tables taken. Service was friendly and quite good, though there was a rather long lapse between when we finished eating and when we were able to get check. Perhaps in keeping with the name Heyday, the eatery was playing an abundance of old music (including from the fifties). That's fine (each to his own), but the music was too loud, making conversation difficult to maintain in the din. We started out with the house-made Kennebec chips that came with a thick green onion dip. The not-exactly-but-kinda-sorta-kettle-cooked chips were excellent. We really liked the tasty dip and Heyday provided the just the right amount of dip (but certainly, none was left over). JP ordered a lamb burger and I went with an $8 BYOB (build your own burger), where I had a tomato ($1) added. The burgers don't come with fries, but do come with a little bowl that contains pickled kale. I'd never had pickled kale before and it's something I've discovered that I quite like. We were excited to try the burgers because the menu stated that Heyday used potato buns. As a personal preference, I have to say I like potato buns the best. The fixings inside the burgers were tasty. The lamb and beef meats were high quality. But the Macrina-supplied buns themselves, well... My bun looked like a tire with half the air let out; one side of it had completely collapsed. The bun was a fragile thing too; it fell into pieces before I was done eating the burger, requiring a fork to finish up. Are we sure these weren't the dreaded Brioche buns? Oh, we also ordered a side of tater tots and they were perfectly decent. Would we come back? Maybe. Like I said, the starter menu looked good, and we would consider the chicken wings (if we can get them without the by-default cilantro). But the too-loud music and poor hamburger buns give me pause. Still, Heyday is not a bad place, and I would recommend trying it out. 3.51 stars rounded up to 4. read more

Decent food although it's a crapshoot whether or not you'll get right order. I've gotten home only to find wrong items in the order. Staff give off a feeling as a customer as though we are lucky to be there. Answer phone only sometimes, making to go orders difficult. Have online ordering but not always convenient for me. Seems like prices are too high for what you get. Not a lot of options for a burger in the neighborhood and I think they know it. read more
