Are Burgers and Martinis a thing? Well friends and foodies.... Yes they are! One of the best dirrrrty martinis I have had paired PERFECTLY with the double-smash burger (with cheese). Crinkle-cut fries did not miss. Definitely worth the drive - but isn't PS always worth the drive? I can't say enough nice things.... but what I can say definitely go if you love martinis, & you love burgers you will love love love this place. If you don't like martinis, there's a full bar so get what you like. read more

We came by The Heyday for lunch and genuinely enjoyed it! I had seen a lot of good things about The Heyday and can't wait to come back! The Heyday is definitely on the smaller side, but makes up for it in ambience. It's just a super chill environment filled with comfortable booths. The service was really great here. Our waiter was super helpful and literally everyone working here came to check and make sure our food was okay and if we needed anything. I tried the martini and burger special and it was absolutely delicious. The meat is cooked perfectly and my martini was refreshing . My husband had the western bacon cheeseburger. He thought it was good, he just wasn't a fan of the amount of sauce on it. We then split the late night fries and the onion rings, both were absolutely to die for. I would definitely recommend eating the late fries right when they come out, since they come sauced they do loose their crisp! Definitely will be dropping by again the next time we are in Palm Springs! read more

A1 since day one! This place is still great. Been a supporter from day one, since the old pop-up days at The Cole hotel. You can never go wrong with what they do best: classic smash burgers (and a nice cold beer). I'd say The Heyday has become a top 10 Palm Springs eatery for me--right up there with the likes of Sherman's Deli. It's always a good time and a good meal here. Triple-patty smash burger: 5/5 Pilsner beer: 5/5 Late night fries: 4/5 Onion rings: 2/5 Lemon pepper wings: 3/5 read more

You come here for smash burgers and excellent cocktails. If that appeals to you--and it should--this could be your happy place. The restaurant is very small. Be prepared to wait 10-15 minutes. Order one of those excellent and extremely strong cocktails and hang out on the outside patio while you wait. My very good martini (gin, always, with olives) was as big as a fishbowl and I am not complaining. There is no way I could have drank more than one without incurring an overnight stay in jail for drunk driving. Smash burgers are not my favorite type of burgers but the ones here have a lot of flavor. I added bacon to mine because there is no reason not to do so. The bun was nice but fell apart on me. Overall, the burger is a messy feast but a delicious one. Do not sleep on the crinkle cut fries which you have to order separately. They were heavily seasoned and fantastic. This is not cheap food but it is quality grub and well-made. I would definitely return. read more

On a mission to try the best smash burgers out there, and the one at Heydey definitely makes my top list. I love this place -- it's like diner meets cocktail lounge meets burger joint, and I'm obsessed. Where else can you get a big, meaty smash burger and a well‑crafted martini at the same time. Truly the best of both worlds. It's centrally located with a small parking lot in the back, plus plenty of street parking. The fries are crinkle‑cut (my favorite), the ranch is solid, and I'd recommend the Caesar salad -- it has a fun twist on the classic. They also have a small outdoor seating area, they're super dog‑friendly, and the vibe is casual enough that walk‑ins work great. A must‑stop if you're chasing great smash burgers. read more

Driving into the Desert on a Sunday and need a quick lunch. Stopped at the Heyday at 2:30 pm and they are doing a good business! Not surprised once we sit down at a booth and look around. Great decor with old and new artwork ... definitely Palm Springs feeling but old, comfy diner as well. Very homey. Couldn't pass up on the martini and burger special (hubby driving). The martini is generous and strong! The burgers are very fresh and tasty - nothing bland about them. Same with the onion rings and fries - and I am picky about fries! Addictive. Service is friendly and attentive in just the right way. Not too much and not too little. Wasn't expecting such a great experience at the Heyday, but so pleasantly surprised. Apparently I'm in the majority because the place kept turning over for the hour we were there. Can't wait to get back there again. read more

Our hotel actually recommended this place and I have to say it was good! The receptionist at our hotel said this was in n out vibes and it definitely was. The smash burgers were very tasty good seasoning and flavor. The fries were crispy and good just how fries should be. My only complaint is the cheese sauce it was like $3.75 for a tiny ramekin size which would have been fine if it didn't taste like cheese water. So basically I paid $4 for something that was gross and the size should have been more like .75€ or max $1.50 for that size. I would definitely come back and just get burgers and fries next time I'm in Palm Springs read more

I hate to say this right out of the gate, but I was ultimately underwhelmed by both the service and the food. I first heard about this place back in 2020 when they were doing pop-ups and had always wanted to try it. North Palm Springs is a bit out of my way, but I happened to be in the area and figured it was the perfect opportunity. When I arrived, a very nice young man (who I assumed was the host) seated me at a small two-top near the bar/checkout area. Unfortunately, I waited quite a while before anyone came by to take my order. During that time, there was a guy and two young women chatting and laughing loudly behind the bar next to where I was seated. It was a bit distracting. What surprised me was that they turned out to be servers. Everyone was dressed very casually, so it wasn't obvious who was actually working there. If they all had the same T-shirt or uniform on then it wouldn't have been a mystery. Eventually, the same young man who had seated me came back and asked if anyone had helped me yet. When I said no, he was apologetic and took my order. I ordered the double smash burger with a side of onion rings and a glass of water. Everything is à la carte, and the menu seems to lean heavily toward alcoholic beverages. The food came fairly quickly. The burger was good, but not particularly memorable. The bun was quite small compared to the size of the patties, which made it messy to eat because your hands touch the patties when holding the bun. For a $15 burger, I was hoping for something epic. The onion rings had a nice flavor, but the texture landed somewhere between crispy and soggy. Throughout the meal, no one checked in on my table, and I noticed that none of the servers checked in on any of the tables. They continued to talk at the bar the whole time I was there. It seemed that the only time they went to the tables was to take orders and drop off bills. I eventually had to ask one of the servers for a water refill. The water tasted like straight up tap water rather than filtered. In the end, the bill came to about $28 before tip for a burger and onion rings. It was an expensive mediocre experience. I didn't like that they bring a handheld device to pay your bill while they are holding it. It's too invasive, when you're trying to figure out the tip. While I'm glad I finally tried it after hearing about it for so long, it didn't quite live up to the hype. It felt more like a tourist stop rather than a local hangout. read more

Came here for dinner on a Friday night. Place was busy but not so busy that we weren't seated right away. We sat inside and immediately knew what we wanted. We ordered a Smash Single, a Western Bacon Cheeseburger, an order of Late Night Fries, and a beer. Everything pretty much came out together and pretty quickly too. Both burgers were amazing and delicious. I really enjoyed the way you got a full bite of everything on every bite of the Western Burger. The fries, I was skeptical about because crinkle cut aren't my favorite, but these were also really good. The fries were crispy enough that it had that crunch and really held up the toppings and sauce. I wish it had more chopped chiles but that's just a personal preference. They were a perfect size for sharing between 3 people (2 if you're really hungry). After devouring our food, we noticed most people were eating their food with fork and knife. We felt a little embarrassed that we just ate like animals, haha, but our server reassured us that devouring our food with our hands was equally acceptable. She was really nice and I enjoyed the service. The place in general has a casual menu but it definitely felt like date night vibes. The place is low lit, a lot of people were in pairs, good for easy conversation. I wouldn't mind coming here on a first date, or any night really. read more

If you're looking for a great smash burger in Palm Springs, then head over to The Heyday on North Palm Canyon Drive near Vista Chino. Loved the double smash burger, crinkle cut fries, and the tasty Michelada. The Heyday also serves some local craft beer and specialty cocktails, as well as a Martini & Burger Special. Definitely recommend checking this place out on your trip to PS. read more

Great smashburger, so-so fries. Probably due to the time of day of when we showed up (lunch rush on a Saturday), while we got lucky with an indoor booth seating for 3 after a very short wait, the food (2 smashburgers and 1 order of fries) took awhile to arrive. For an $8 order of fries, I expect them to be fantastic, but they came out a bit soggy and not crispy. The smashburgers met expectations - soft pillowy bun and a nice flat patty with a delectable amount of fixings. The table service was excellent, and they've got indoor seating and a small shaded outdoor patio. One unisex bathroom. Parking can be a bit of a pain - we ended up parking on the street. read more

Definitely the best burgers in town!! The classic smash burger was so perfectly melty and the onion rings were super fresh and piping hot and amazing with ranch. The late night fries were extremely filling (wish we got a half size), although the chilis made the aftertaste interesting. The martini and burger combo for $21 is a great deal is well. read more

We happened to be staying at a hotel literally 1 min from this spot and we got hungry but didn't want to eat too much before our dinner reservations. So we shared a double smash burger and their "loaded fries" . Good thing we shared it because it was a lot of food . The Double smash burger was heavy even half of it filled me up. It was delicious. Simple but had a lot of flavor. Their fries were also generous, there were 2 of us and we couldn't finish it , but they were tasty , on any other day we would have finished it . Hopefully the servers didn't think we didn't like their fries lol But they were good And complimented the burger. Definitely a spot I'd comeback to since they do serve Martinis? Yes Martinis! There are flat screens in there with one of the games on. Servers were polite and moved fast. Cozy little spot in Palm Springs if you want a Martini and a Juicy smash burger! read more

A good friend recommended The Heyday to me. The burgers are excellent. They are smash burger style. Their martini and burger special for $20 is a great bargain these days. The space is small and has a very cool vibe and atmosphere. I made my first visit to The Heyday last week (Friday night), which was the very tail-end of summer. Almost every table was occupied. I am sure, during the high season in Palm Springs, there is a longish wait to get one of the coveted tables or perch up on one of the four stools at the bar-counter. Our server, Samantha, was very attentive and friendly. The manager, Ashton, also greeted us with a warm welcome. The customer service here is awesome. Thanks ladies! I think every employee in the dining area and bar interacted with us, and made sure we got everything we needed. Yes, I like this place a lot! read more

The Heyday - Extra dirty - Burgers Near Me - Palm Springs, California

Heydays hype is real and for good reason. They don't do reservations so expect a wait on the weekends and if you are coming around closing they will close the list an hour before if there are people waiting. We arrived around 8:11pm on a Saturday night and didn't get seated until 9pm but we saw them turning walk ins away around 8:45ish as they close at 10pm so keep the hours in mind when visiting. Once we were seated we ordered the burger and martini special for $20 and I decided to do top shelf for $5 extra. The bartender makes a dirty martini and I was there for it, had your girl feeling right! They have some epic smash burgers and amazing late night fries ($11.75) which I recommend ordering by all means. The burger was juicy and flavorful. One of the best burgers I have had in a really long time! Overall, a cute casual date night spot. Any time I am in Palm Springs this place will be a must go to! read more

Well first thigs first. When they say they open at noon, they mean they open at noon. I was actually second in line about 10 miniutes prior to opening. Once inside, I was greeted by a very nice fellow who suggested i can sit anywhere. Well, since i was dining solo, I decided to sit at one of the two-tops. The menu is very basic. And it is printed on your placemat. Very convenient. The tables are sparsely covered with the necessities - forks, knives napkins in a little table valet and of course, salt, pepper, hot sauce, ketchup and Mustard. I was about to do the Martini and Smashburger combo, but figured i had an hour and a half to drive home - so skip that one. Abut when i was ready to order, almost every table / booth was full up! Good for this place, I thought. I suspected the food was going to be great. Got the double smash with the bowl of onion rings and a diet coke. Service was super fast! I was not disappointed at all. Great food, cute atmosphere and awewsome crew. Give it a shot, you will not be diappointed. read more

After some time scrolling on TikTok for good places to eat in Palm Springs, this place popped up. It had a cute vibe and yummy looking food. I suggested it to my bf and he was down. We drove there from Cathedral City which wasn't too far. We got there and got lucky to find a spot in the lot behind the restaurant. We walked in and it was such a cool spot. We were immediately seated. There was a bar in the back and I felt like we were at a cozy little house party. We ordered Dr. Pepper's and looked through the menu. I got the double smash burger, my boyfriend got the fried chicken sandwich, and we shared an order of fries. The food came out quick and tasted so good. I was happy we tried a new spot and I would definitely come back because it was so yummy! read more

Super friendly service! The waiter was awesome and helped me choose my food. I'm a vegetarian, and the smash burgers and fries are served separately which would've been way too much food for one person. So I decided on the late night fries which come with crispy crinkle cuts, their house queso which they're known for, caramelized onions, and a special sauce. I added the homemade mushroom veggie patty, which was an extra three dollars. I also ordered some shredded lettuce on the side. So it was pretty perfect. I got the best of both worlds. A hamburger without the hamburger while also having the fries. Parking was a little bit difficult so I parked on the street. The parking lot in the back was really small and all the spaces were taken. Highly recommended! read more

About my third time coming here as a part time local. Today my motivation to write a positive review was in regards of the great service from Eric the bartender. Last time I was here we sat at the bar and another male bartender was also friendly and kind. Food is great. Love a simplified menu. Only thing that I would say is seating is limited and sometimes they do t let you sit outside which is a bummer because I would love to enjoy the weather and the view. Props to Eric. I would def recommend. I come here every time I crave inn and out and I don't want to make the drive or the wait. Food def is compatible. Thanks hey Dey! read more

Heyday is a big disappointment. The smash burgers were tiny, absent of seasoning and the fries were from frozen stock. Worse, the servers were slow and uninterested in serving the tables. Once we finished, they never came around to clear the table. The one nice thing is the setting. The building is interesting, as are the furnishings. The music playlist too is fun. Just wish the food was decent. read more

This place always hits the spot after landing in Palm Springs! It's our second time here and it's as good as we remembered this first time. They make such delicious smash burgers...patty is seasoned well and grilled perfectly; yummy sauce and just everything right! They even made my son a kids version, too! Or for $9, make it an adult meal with a martini...because, why not?! The cook on the crinkle fries are just perfect too. Crisped and seasoned so well. Cool and casual, old school diner vibe. Quick and friendly service. Always a nice little stop for us here!! read more

DO NOT ORDER CARRYOUT FROM HERE! We were staying nearby and excited to try this place. We placed an online carry out order. We received a text confirmation that the order was ready for pickup. Went to the restaurant and was told they were bagging it up. That was clearly a lie. We had to wait another 30 minutes. Two other waiting customers had the same issue, so it's clearly a systemic issue. When we got back to the hotel we discovered the restaurant did not pack two of the burgers. So we had to go back to pick them up. Staff couldn't care less. Food was OK, but nowhere near worth the trouble. read more

The burger was good. It's just - fries are extra $8. Ranch is extra $1. The smallest side salad was $17. It was $80 for two people to have burgers, fries, and one domestic beer. Service was fine, but not at all friendly or welcoming. Just fine - not rude - but as if they would rather we hadn't inconvenienced them. No drink refills. No checking on us. There are much more welcoming and slightly more affordable places within walking distance. read more

Wow.. why did it take me so long to check this place out! Excellent!! Friendly staff, great food and drinks!

Service and atmosphere was very pleasant at noon. Had a Western Bacon Cheeseburger and fries. Smashburger,style, totally dried out and tasteless meat. Crinkle cut fries, Sysco style. No flavor at all/. French's yellow mustard, no Dijon or any other option. Lots of better burgers and better value in Palm Springs. read more

My son and I had a delightful lunch here. He ordered a cheeseburger and I had the mushroom veggie sub patty without a bun to try to be healthier. The mushroom veggie sub patty was actually really good but I should've had the real meat cheeseburger because my son loved it and it just looked delicious. We also had the Lemon Pepper Chicken Wings which were yummy too. What I loved most about this place was how efficiently run it is. When a smaller party arrived but only large tables were available, the staff would still seat them at a large table and bring them waters and take their order. The staff would eventually ask them to move to a smaller table when one freed up. This kept the place running without a lot of people having to stand and wait around. Also, the staff would ask people to wait outside so they didn't crowd the restaurant and the patrons dining at the tables. It was great to see them run the place like a well oiled machine. All of the staff were really friendly too. I also love the idea of a martini and burger! I was driving so I couldn't partake. There were a few tables drinking cocktails even though it was lunch time and the drinks looked great! We read up about how the couple opened their restaurant at this establishment. It's amazing that they went from a pop up to the Hilton and then to this spot. We wish them the best! read more

This was our 2nd visit and Heyday did not disappoint. Love everything about this cozy little burger restaurant. We were seated immediately, go early. I was all about their Martini and smash burger special for $19.75. Service was fast and the food came out within 15 minutes. My Gin martini was delicious. I could have upgraded to Monkey 47 which is crème de la crème of the gin world for $5. Not a bad deal considering a bottle costs $50 bucks if you can find it. I stayed with well which is Tanqueray. My smash burger was a real smash burger. Smashed perfectly with crispy edges, juicy in the middle covered in melty cheese. The burger sauce and shredded lettuce was fresh and executed perfectly. This burger was delicious until the last bite. We also got an order of crinkle fries which we shared between 3 people. Keep up the good work Heyday you are one of the reasons we come to Palm Spring read more
