Right when I walked in I was greeted by the friendly staff! Heyday is locked in what seems to be a new neighborhood. I stopped by to grab a to-go lunch while working on John's Island. The inside is clean and very open, and I saw outdoor seating too. I ordered at the counter Andy food was ready quickly. I got the Italian ceasar sandwich and it was great! I probably could've split it or saved half for another day.
Had a nice lunch here during the holidays. They have both indoor seating and a small nice patio as well. Service was good and food was solid as well. They don't have a huge bar selection/beers, but some good offerings. If you're in the area, is a nice complement to some of the other places that are nearby (i.e. if you're thinking you want to go to X you can do Y instead and vice versa).
As soon as you walk in you'll be delighted to find a place that absolutely feels elevated on Johns Island! Being my first time there with our kiddos, it was a welcoming experience, as there were already several families with littles of their own. Inside the interior is warm and welcoming - a distinctive blend of modern with a soul all its own - the perfect place to grab just a quick coffee or stay and have a full meal. The bar was inviting and would be great for later in the day to enjoy a real cocktail, which they have a variety to choose from. It also includes mocktails for those looking to sans the alcohol ; ) Seating is comfortable and spread out, enough to have some privacy from other guests, meanwhile allowing proximity perfect to cross paths as desired. We went on a Sunday after church, which allowed for plenty of parking and quick seating. The menu consists of curated breakfast and lunch choices, including vegan and gluten free options for those seeking them. I personally had a delicious steak, egg, and potatoes dish with a Matcha Tea that will have me coming back asap! Definitely one of my new favorite spots on the Island! Guten Appetit!
My daughter and I ordered carryout service as an early Mother's Day gift. We ordered the Sirloin and Lions mane skewers, She Crab Soup, Confit Chicken and Fish sandwich. The ordering process was easy and the food was ready in 10- 15 minutes. The restaurant was new and very nice. It is located near Somm. There is plenty of parking. Seating is available inside and two outdoor eating areas. The restaurant offers an expresso bar with a wide selection as well as beer and wine. The food was very fresh and flavorful. I especially enjoyed the Steak skewers. Each item.was beautifully presented with a side.and fresh herbs. The service was friendly and attentive. The menu is smaller and focused. I would recommend Hayday and look forward to exploring more of the menu.
Upscale take on a sandwich shop, with soups, salads, and sandwiches, but everything is up a notch or two, in a good way. We ordered the wagyu sliders and the local shrimp roll. Others ordered the honey roasted beets and the country ham, for sharing. I wouldn't say anything knocked out socks off, but everything was good, and the pricing was fair, especially for the happy hour items. It's just a little different than a typical restaurant - you walk in and order at the counter, then take your seat and wait for food delivery. Don't sit and expect a waiter to take your order. Not as problem, just be prepared. On a Friday evening most seats were filled, and we found it to be fairly noisy and hard to eat your table mates. They could do with some more soft surfaces to absorb sound. Decor has the same theme of everything at Hayes Park - modern, beachy, mostly white or grey.
Beautiful space. Love the attention to detail. Service was wonderful. Friendly and attentive. Cocktails were good with their mule being one of the best I've had. Food is attractive and yummy. The steak was delicious and the olives and small bites of grapefruit were a nice touch, adding unexpected but epic flavor profiles. I didn't get lemongrass from the salad at all but it was tasty. The she crab was a bit too sweet for my taste. Cudite beautiful. The star for us were the grits and greens. They cream the greens which isn't typical but so nice! Lovey addition to the island and I was shocked at how reasonable the prices were! An upscale evening without breaking the bank, so rare! Can't wait to come back for a happy hour and a brunch! Thank you, Heyday!
Got the chance to grab takeout from The HeyDay. Super cute decor and setup with lots of indoor and outdoor seating. We ordered a few dishes to try. The confit chicken was a little dry for confit and definitely lacked flavor, but obviously the parm orzo saved the day there. The sirloin and lion's mane skewers were perfectly medium and super tasty. The salad accompanying it was a little weird, limp, and unnecessary. The grits and greens with the catch of the day stole the show! Those grits were so tasty and creamy and the fried fish - chef's kiss! Can't wait to come back and try brunch.
Decided to try this new restaurant on Johns Island and was completely impressed with the food. We had shecrab soup, sirloin steak skewers, confit chicken and a fish sandwich. All of the food was delicious. We order it as carry out and it was ready in 10 minutes. Customer service was excellent. I would recommend that you give this local restaurant a try, I believe you be impressed.
Stopped by The Heyday on Johns Island, and I was really impressed by the vibe! The staff was so welcoming. The outdoor patio looks super inviting, and it's a great spot to enjoy a coffee or a bite. Loved the decor and bat!The place has a cozy, laid-back feel, and I love that they have live music. Definitely seems like a great spot for lunch or dinner next time I'm in the area. Can't wait to come back and try it out!
We went to the Heyday soft opening and it was wonderful! Sandwiches, salads, light fare. We tried a lot of different things. The highlights were the beets (warm and sweet with some salty goat cheese and pumpkin seeds), baked clams, and the shrimp salad (we had it as a "shrimp roll" but you can also order it on a salad. We had a lot of fun. Seating is indoor or outdoor. Outside you can sit around a fire.
Service was poor, felt more like we were bothering the young lady that waited on us. Then the other young lady started waiting on my husband when his drink was empty. I didn't eat there, my friend had a small bowl of shrimp salad, wasn't impressed. My friend asked the first young lady what do you suggest? The young lady said the salads are really good lol. My hubby had the fish sandwich said it was OK. They don't beat you up on the bill so that wasn't a problem. We just didn't feel like they wanted to wait on us. The three of us were in our 70s and 60s it felt more like maybe a young crowd place. Probably won't go back.

I recently visited Heyday Restaurant and was immediately struck by how beautiful and inviting the space is. It's a truly lovely, relaxed setting--perfect for sitting down, catching up, and enjoying a slower pace. While the service was kind, it felt a bit less attentive than expected, especially since the restaurant wasn't very busy. We found ourselves needing to ask for a few basics like place settings and salt and pepper, which took away slightly from the overall experience. As for the food, there were definitely some highlights. The scrambled eggs were impressively fluffy and generous in portion--closer to four eggs than two--and the peach jam was a standout touch. The sourdough could have been toasted a bit more, and the bacon was slightly undercooked for my preference. The avocado toast, while creative, had quite a few competing flavors on top that overpowered the simplicity I was expecting. Our cappuccinos were average, but still enjoyable. Overall, Heyday has a lot going for it with its beautiful atmosphere and laid-back charm. With a bit more attentiveness in service and small refinements in the food, it could easily become a favorite. I'd absolutely return, especially for the ambiance and a relaxed place to meet and chat. read more

Second time coming to The Heyday and it's worth shouting out! I first came here when they opened up and I love how cozy it is! They have a nice patio to bring your dog and a fire pit to light during the evening. They also have cute little shops surrounding it to pop in and find some great goodies. The coffee was also delicious, a little on the pricey side ($20 after tip) but worth it! I ordered the vanilla bean iced latte and my mother in law got the iced mocha! Definitely check this place out if you're ever in Johns island read more

Every visit has been an exceptional delight! They don't slack on the effort, quality, and presentation for both the food and coffee. It's quite a beautiful space with outdoor seating that give that "Sunday brunch" vibe. Worth if it you're around Johns and West Ashley. read more

The heyday is a great spot to stop in the middle of John's island. They're Located in acute spot near someone bar and a couple of eclectic shops Near the intersection of main road in maybank highway. Across from the library and nestled in a in process new home development. The crownuts are fantastic and wonderfully layered. They brew second state coffee beans which is a positive for me. There are full service cafe with Eden options and indoor and outdoor seating. Upscale Beach vibe. Staff is eager to serve and eager to make you feel Attended to! Downside is that it's a little overpriced For pastries. read more

Going to the Heyday on Johns Island is like going to lunch at your friend's beach house. The vibe is super casual with a nice beachy decor. Tables are spaced nicely so it doesn't feel cramped. They have a nice back porch area with trees and a fire pit. I have read in previous posts that they do counter ordering, but this was not the case when we went as we were seated at given menus. We ordered cocktails which were very reasonable at $10 a piece. I had the Peach Old fashioned which was bursting with peach flavor without being too sweet. My wife got the Tequila Mule which was bubbly and refreshing with a nice spicy tajin rim. We started with a Chocolate Hazelnut Cronut which sprinkled with powdered sugar and topped with a strawberry. It was nice and flakey and was devoured quickly. Next up our favorite item we ordered, the Jalapeno Cornbread muffins with peach butter. They arrived nice and warm and soft. The peach butter was the star as you could see small bits of peaches mixed in. Next, we tried the Sea Salt potatoes with a horseradish remoulade which was nice and tart and tangy. They disappeared quickly as well. I ordered their play on steak and eggs with the steak being a steak skewer. The steak was nice and tender with a nice earthiness from the chimichurri sauce. An over easy egg rested atop a root vegetable hash with beets, sweet potatoes, asparagus, and peppers. My wife enjoyed the Local Shrimp Croissant. The croissant as well as all the other baked goods are made in house. The dill creme fraiche mixed well with the nice chunks of shrimp. It came with potato salad which was not listed on the menu. We thought all the food was creative and tasted very good! I am however grading them down a point as service was scattered and not very attentive. Also serving warm tap water is a downer. read more

Amazing food, beautiful setting, and a personable chef. The food - each dish was not only delicious but also beautifully presented. It's clear that the chef puts a lot of heart into their creations. Speaking of the chef, Ryan came out to chat with us and he made it a personal and memorable touch. His passion for food and genuine warmth truly elevated the entire dining experience. I can't recommend this place enough! read more

I have mixed reviews for The Heyday in Hayes Park. They have a beautiful patio and fire pits, so points for ambiance. My lunch with smoked trout dip and roasted cauliflower were excellent, however, my bacon egg and cheese sandwich was cold, runny and underwhelming. A bit inconsistent and my girlfriend has had a similar experience. The service is just ok. read more
