This is a burger as a lettuce wrap.
Eric G.

Good healthy food in an upbeat positive environment with friendly service. You can rely on the Hayden to produce.

Egg, Bacon, Keep it Simple Salad.

The Hayden-1.8.24- 2/100 We went for brunch today for the first time. Half of us did order lunch though because their menu had such good selections and curiously named sandwiches. My Mom and Dad got a Hayden Burger and Patty Melt. Both were large portions and delicious. The French fries here are colossal and taste great. We didn't even need the ketchup but my Mom can't live without it. My Husband had the Frito Pie Chili Cheese Burger with fries. It was goood! I ordered the Build Your Own Omelette with Swiss, mushrooms and caramelized onions. This was a generous 3 egg omelette with huge breakfast potatoes that were perfectly seasoned. I didn't even need to add anything to my omelette because the potatoes complemented the Swiss cheese so well. Mijo had an egg with bacon and the Keep It Simple Salad with a Raspberry Lemonade. He really liked it and mentioned the lemonade was "very satisfying" :-D We were so blessed to have KATHY help us out today as we barely scratched the surface of all the appetizing items in the menu. We definitely have to come back for more. I'll include photos with close-Ups to help you really see how generous the portions are and how delicious they looked (and everything tasted great). ~LindaD

Pancakes and salads verde omelette
Karla C.

Obsessed. I really enjoyed coming here with my fiancé for brunch. We came on a weekend and got to enjoy a nice sunny day in San Antonio by sitting outside on the patio. The food was so delicious and the portions were very generous. We like to get something sweet and savory which lead us to the barbacoa omelette with salsa verde. We also got the stack of pancakes which paired so well with the blueberry compote. I ordered a side of sausage and was pleasantly surprised when I bite into it and it had cheese. The oatmilk chai latte is one of the best I've ever had, I can't wait to come back! Staff were extremely nice, they provided fast service, and great recommendations.

Fun place to visit because it takes reservations and you don't have to hope you get there and wait in line for hours. The menu is different and smaller than the original Hayden on broadway but there are still plenty of choices to select from. Staff was friendly and efficient! I appreciate the Mobile POS unit because it saves time finalizing your bill rather than waiting for your server to come back after you have waited. Nice idea!

Overload- very filling
Ana A.

The food was great ! Was there for breakfast! Service was good, but a bit slow. The restaurant has a good vibe and it is small - I do recommend as the food is 5/5

Service was great at giving us time to decide and suggestions on what to order. Food was quite good.

1/2 Pastrami sandwich and Salt-and-Vinegar chips.
Rudy F.

Stopped into this new location on a mid-afternoon Friday. The first thing that struck me was the nice interior of the restaurant. We were seated promptly and the server greeted us soon after. The table was clean and the rocking seat was very comfortable. I did notice the considerable bar area... and while half of the restaurant certainly felt like a nice diner, the other half was a bar with music that was far too loud - which only created a distraction during a lunch service. So I ordered the Pastrami sandwich on the menu, and at a $19.99 price point, was expecting a mile-high construction of a sandwich the likes of Katz Diner in NY. To my disappointment, I got a regular sized pastrami sandwich with kraut and spicy mustard. That's where the disappointment ended. Other than the soggy bottom slice of bread, the sandwich was absolutely delicious and the pastrami tasted completely house-made. I ordered the salt and vinegar chips with the sandwich, not knowing they were house-made. It was certainly a big mound of chips, but they were over-cooked.. and left something to be desired. Also the pickle spear that accompanied the sandwich was the bottom of the barrel. It was barely cold and very limp. The service was fine, but not over-the-top, nor did the server seem very friendly. Finally, as far as the price point, a $20 sandwich that delivered on flavor but not on size was disappointing. I might be back to try another menu item or two, but I'm not going out of my way either.

Side salad with Citrus Vinaigrette
Karin And Nick S.

Been here a few times. It never disappoints. The Matzo Ball soup is the best I've ever had. Staff is super cool. Food is good. Atmosphere is chill. Half price burger night on Tuesdays. Plus they quote Seinfeld on the menu. This place is legit. Give them a try...great neighborhood gem.

We came here on a Saturday between lunch and dinner. This is in a large shopping center with tons of parking. We were sat right away. Our server was attentive, but really soft spoken. The music was a little loud, which didn't help, but not too loud. We got here just after three and were on the midday menu. I got the pastrami and Swiss with a side of matzo ball soup. My wife got the Ted Danson with a side of salt and vinegar chips. We both loved our sandwiches and the soup. The chips were good, but didn't taste much of the salt and vinegar. The sandwiches were huge and we each took half home.

Chili cheese frito burger with house chips
Rachel C.

First time at Hayden. Nice place. Bartender was great The Frito burger was good but could have been better if the chili actually tasted like Chili. It didn't have that chili flavor Plus the house chips were cold The cucumber Ricky was very refreshing When we got the bill my boyfriend asked me what's this happy kitchen fee ‍ I asked and was told it was a tip for the cooks Just a little something for them I know they work hard But!!!! I feel that with the higher prices to eat out there employer should give them a better wage and not tack it onto the customers All in all it was a good experience

Inside bar area

The Hayden on Broadway was a frequent stop when it first opened. I loved their Ted Danson, Salmon Sandwich and Elaine's Big Salad. Therefore, I was very happy to see them open a Hayden closer to me. But this new Hayden has some differences. The Broadway one is more bougie, while Alon's is a bit more casual. It is also a smaller space, but clean and inviting. And service was efficient. Food is similar, but we were disappointed because some food items were not included in this menu. Missing were the Beet Hummus & Egg Toast and the Shrimp Noodle Salad, the two plates that we want to try. We were told they would be added to the menu at a later date. Thus, we went ahead and ordered something else. There weren't any big issues with this other Hayden, except for one: the music. There weren't a lot of patrons at the time we showed up, around 10:30, but at some point, the music volume was raised! It was loud enough to make communication challenging and uncomfortable. I wouldn't say the differences at The Hayden at Alon are bad, just a change. Food was similar, albeit with a more limited menu, that will grow, I was told, as time progresses. Location and service work fairly well. And, hopefully, the music issue will also change.

tomato bisque - soup of the day
Anna Marie S.

I had the tomato bisque soup of the day, followed by pot roast with vegetables (Brussels sprouts, carrots) and mashed potatoes. I finished with a comforting warm apple pie and ice cream for dessert.

Recently we hosted our Morrissey After Party at Bang Bang Bar, following the former Smiths…read morefrontman's sold-out January 10th performance at the Boeing Center at Tech Port and honestly, we couldn't have written a better script. Morrissey hadn't graced San Antonio in over 10 years, with past cancellations and postponements haunting fans along the way. So when he finally returned, San Antonio Moz fans showed up and showed out. Despite multiple after-party options across the city, fans from Brazil, the UK, Canada, Japan, and all across the U.S. chose Bang Bang Bar as the place to be on a cold Saturday night. Hosted by local emcee Ricardo Moz and Apollo DJ, the night turned into one for the history books. Bang Bang Bar is easily one of Texas' best dive-lounge bars...the perfect blend of gritty and cozy. Great cocktail program, solid beer selection, and a vibe that just works. The décor leans heavy into a 1950s-60s lounge aesthetic, with intimate spaces like the Blue Room and Yellow Room, perfect for groups of 7-10. Low lighting, warm atmosphere, and zero pretension exactly what you want for a night like this. Bang Bang Bar consistently supports local and touring acts, spanning punk, alternative, and DJ-driven nights, and this Moz Smiths Disco was no exception. It was wall-to-wall classics all night long. Major credit to Phanie and the Bang Bang Bar management they rolled up their sleeves, brought in extra bar staff, and handled an overwhelming crowd like pros. Fans waited up to 45 minutes in the cold, with a line wrapping around the building, and the energy inside never dipped. As the host of Panic On The Streets, I'm incredibly thankful to Bang Bang Bar for helping us pull off one of the best after-parties we've done in years. Fittingly, 2026 marks the 10-year anniversary of both Bang Bang Bar and Panic On The Streets of San Antonio and what a way to celebrate. Bang Bang Bar has long been one of my favorite bars in town, and after this night, that reputation is more than earned. Can't wait to do another Moz Smiths Disco here. -- Panic On The Streets of San Antonio

I've been here a couple of times and have always had a great time. The server/waitress was very…read morefriendly and knowledgeable on what they offered. They were happy to answer my questions and I was never made to feel rushed. The bar itself has an awesome vibe. It's divey but offer fancy drinks. The bar has a stage (we've seen FEA perform there) and they have ample seating (tables, couches, stools, etc). I also enjoy how each couch area is its own living room setup (think of what you see when shopping for couches/coffee tables) and feel/vibe. I make it a point to come and visit this bar any time I'm in San Antonio. We love supporting Phanie and her bands in any way possible. Girl in a Coma and FEA 4ever!
