The Hayden - Diners Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Meet friend for brunch! It was busy and Ebony was on top of our orders and very friendly!

Phenomenal spot. They have an all day breakfast menu that goes until 5 pm daily, as well as lunch options and dinner entrees. Everything the table had was delicious! I got the chicken and pancakes with baked apples. The pancake was super fluffy and the apple butter was so flavorful. The meal came with two chicken tenders which were pretty juicy. I also got to taste some breakfast potatoes which were super good. Everyone at the table enjoyed their meal. Portions were good and our service was event better: Our server Nathaniel was really nice and on top of everything. The food didn't take too long and it all came out hot and fresh. He had no problem splitting checks and making recommendations for nearby attractions. This was a great elevated diner experience. The interior is super cute and casual, while also well decorated. read more

Tried this place tonight for the first time. Party of 5. Service was AMAZING. Staff was very polite and helpful with recommendations. Food was GREAT, we will be back. We tried the pimento cheese (loved it), barbacoa fries (very good) and the pretzel. Entrees were: meatloaf, fish and chips, chicken sandwich, burger and schnitzel. All were very good! Dessert - we tried the toffee bread pudding. This is the only item I would say was just ok and I probably wouldn't order it again. read more

We were looking for a new breakfast spot, and Google recommended The Hayden. Our server, Blair was excellent service. We had the meatloaf hash, and the fried chicken and Latke waffle. Food was very tasty and perfectly seasoned. Average cost per plate was 17. Patio seating was dog friendly and the vibe was very hip and chill. Loved everything. Blair kept my coffee cup full. read more

The Hayden - Meatloaf, Meatloaf Dinner - Diners Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

This visit to the Hayden was truly a blend of a Jewish deli in Texas comfort food. I had matzoh ball soup for the first time and I paired it with the barbacoa grilled cheese sandwich. Both were cooked to perfection. The sandwich was full of meat on Texas toast with perfectly melted cheese. The matzoh ball soup was so good. I'm so glad I tried something new, I highly recommend it. Our service was phenomenal and the specialty cocktails that they serve were fun to try as well. This is such a cute restaurant with an upgraded diner feel and such amazing food. read more

With this cool weather I HIGHLY recommend the tomato soup, DELICIOUS. It was recently my the waiter who was so sweet. He went through the entire menu, he recommended the Cucumber drink ( can't remember the name) so refreshing. The restaurant have old diner vibes with a store next door. It wasn't packed cuz we went in the beginning of lunch time. It did start to fill up as we enjoyed our lunch read more

Thank you so Much for the amazing service Blair! Food was amazing, experience amazing love this place.

This is my third time to visit The Hayden (the last time was years ago), my husband and I came for date night and it was just PERFECT to relax and enjoy great flavorful food! We had the smoked whitefish dip with veggies to start and my husband who doesn't eat fish really enjoyed it. Then we split a pastrami and Swiss sandwich and the chicken fried chicken with mashed potatoes, gravy, pickled red onions and candied jalapeños (I asked for extra red onions and jalapeños). Both were delicious and worth every bite. This place is awesome and we can't wait to come back. **I do have one constructive comment: the booth to table height is disproportionate and made eating my food uncomfortable read more

Picture it! Planning my husbands birthday brunch, we wanted something new so of course we look at Yelp for inspiration and we find this amazing place. Located off broadway in Alamo heights. They worked with my reservation issues because I kept changing the number. And they were super sweet about it. The restaurant was busy but the waiter Bill was helpful and attentive. He was on point with refills and checking on us. We had a table of 14 with two kiddos and a lot of food was placed on that table. He kept on cleared plates and restocking our cutlery and napkins. The decor was very modern to me but when I was headed to the bathroom the bar area was clean and efficient. I loved they had a place for a silent auction for the community. The thing you all want to know about, the bourbon berry smash was smashing! Strong, delicious, coy, fruity, I might be buzzed from it. Was perfection. I don't think I could have ordered a better drink before the meal. We had Brussels sprouts, pimento cheese dip, and smoked whitefish dips(times two) as appetizers and it was shareable for the entire table. Each appetizer was big enough to share and was just the right amount for a taste to enjoy with leftovers for those who loved it. I had the bagel and lox, I shared with a table mate who had the meatloaf hash. And dang. Just delicious. The bagel was fresh and toasty with the cream cheese melted just right. Seasoned lox with the veggies. Reminded me of something not found in San Antonio. All in all highly recommend. And hope to be back soonish. read more

The Hayden - Seating area - Diners Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

This place was packed but thankfully, we had reservations. We waited about 20 minutes before we were seated so we positioned ourselves in their waiting area and grabbed some mimosas. We also waited a bit before our server came to our table but we were not in a rush so it did not bother us too much. Dariel was our server and she did a great job. She was friendly and our orders got to our table fairly quickly. We all enjoyed what we ordered. Pastrami sandwich with garlic potato soup, Ted Danson sandwich, biscuits and gravy and a vegetable omelette. Two of us also had a banana bread espresso martini which was delicious. Parking was tight but we managed to snag a space. I imagine it's always like this on a busy day. All together, we enjoyed the service and we definitely loved the food. read more

My husband found this place recommended on Reddit so we decided to check it out for an early dinner. We split an order of the crab cakes, he got the Nashville hot chicken sandwich, and I got the Ted Danson sandwich. The food all came out quickly and everything tasted amazing. Also the portions are big, so come hungry. Rocco was our server and was friendly, attentive, and an all-around great dude. We'll definitely be back to try their breakfast and happy hour! read more

Visited for the first time. The space is quaint and warm. The service is quite friendly. I was with a large party and they not only accommodated us but they were total pros! And the food! WOW! The food! I had the avocado toast with eggs. And it was devine. Everything was made to order and extremely fresh. All the dishes I tasted were nothing less than explosive. The price is equal to the freshness and quality. I can't wait to return. read more

I can't believe that I haven't tried this place sooner. What a great spot to pop in a for a chill, yet absolutely delicious dinner. The service was outstanding. Our server Luis was great. Very personable, attentive. He treated us very well. The food at The Hayden is great. I am at a loss for words for how great a dish is the Barbacoa Stroganoff. It is truly next level!! It was so good I didn't even want to eat it all so I could have some for tomorrow. I also ordered the Poblano Bacon Cheeseburger. So full of flavor. The pimento cheese just adds so much to the burger. The matzoh ball soup is some of the best I've ever had. So much depth of flavor with the broth. The pastrami was obviously done with care. I am genuinely looking forward to going back again to try other items on the menu. read more

This is my favorite brunch spot, period. I normally like to try something new on the weekends, but I just cannot keep myself away from the Hayden and their amazing pancakes. My favorite is the apple one, but all of the flavors are excellent. I've also had their breakfast sandwich and pimento cheese dip, which are on point as well, but I can't keep away from those pancakes. My wife loves all of their dishes with fried chicken. We've come for lunch and dinner too, and the burgers are solid. They have all of your standard diner favorites, like burgers, salads, and sandwiches, as well as some really unique things like latke waffles and a fish dip. We never wait long, the hosts are always polite, and the waitstaff are wonderful too. We love being served by Anna, but there are no bad options! read more

I love the decor, it was very welcoming. We had a group of 12 and I felt like we were in a family's dining room. Our waiter Phil was so friendly and energetic. I had the crispy Brussels and the were delicious and flavorful. For my main course the chicken biscuit and potatoes hit the spot. The chicken breast was cooked to perfection. I ate the top of my biscuit with some of their honey butter and it was yummy. I can't wait to visit again. Oh and the hazelnut latte was the best I have ever had. read more

Another place that has been on my list, but I have failed to visit when I am in San Antonio. Now that I have, believe me, I will be back. Super cute interior, and the owner or manager came by and chatted with us for a few minutes while we sat at the bar. Parking is a little tight, but it is free. The smoked whitefish sandwich is like the best tuna melt you'll ever come across with a real depth of flavor. Next time: the pastrami! (I want that T-shirt, but I felt silly getting it without getting the pastrami itself.) read more

I was hopeful coming in - all those five star reviews - and very disappointed walking out. My over medium eggs were cold with white runny stuff. Ugh! Toast...also cold. I liked the potatoes and bacon but my sister thought both were overcooked. Really too bad all around. Phil, our server, was nice but could have checked in us after the food was delivered. read more
