We walked in Monday night after a long day, 4 tired kids and my wife, and the staff served us at their coffee table and couch area which was perfect. Food was outstanding and the drinks were fantastic. very good vibes all around too. Thanks for the great dinner! read more

Small and inviting with a cozy and unique feel. Waiter was good at helping with suggestions and did a great job. Ask for ice if you like ice in your water. We got burgers - jam burger very good, shrimp Parmagane salad 8.5/10, and the Apple grill cheese 8/10. All very good and unique. The grill cheese had a blend of Brie and another cheese and it was great especially on the toasted bread. It had a marinara sauce but I liked it without but others had it as a dip. The chips had good seasoning and were a nice complement. We would definitely go back as everything was good and there wed other unique dishes we all wanted to try. read more

I don't know what I was thinking going back to Heyday a second time. The first visit was bad enough, but apparently they took that as a challenge and said, "Hold my lukewarm beer." The hamburgers? Frozen meat patties that tasted like they'd been excavated from the back of a 2019 freezer. My fish and chips came with fish that smelled like it had been on a week-long bender in a dumpster behind the pier. And the lobster ravioli? Let's just say the only thing "lobster" about it was the price tag. The pasta was sad, the filling was suspicious, and the whole thing felt like a culinary war crime. But hey, at least the ambience is great! Beautiful lighting, nice decor, perfect for pretending you're having a fancy night out... while quietly plotting your escape to literally any other restaurant. Oh, and don't worry about the shortcuts -- when they're done disappointing your taste buds, they'll hit you with a credit card fee for the privilege. Nothing says "we care about your experience" like charging you extra to leave poorer and hungrier than when you arrived. Save your money, your dignity, and your stomach. Go somewhere else to eat. Anywhere else. Even a gas station hot dog would've been an upgrade. read more

Heyday is a maintained staple on our upscale dining list. I also love that it's not far from home and that they've added mocktails to the menu. My sons and husband love a cherry bomb and I rotate my options out. I've never been disappointed by a mocktail here. Heck, I've never been disappointed by any appetizer or entree for that matter either. They've got half off appetizers on weekdays from 2-6pm and on our last family visit we ordered FIVE of them (deviled egg cupcakes, pork belly, arpe.... those ball things, calamari, and wontons). The red sauce comes with the ball things and calamari needed salt or sugar or both--it was a bit flat, but didn't make a huge difference to our meals. Our server on our last visit was Nad and he was attentive balanced with giving us space--he showed up when we needed him and had excellent timing. One thing I want to point out is that because we love this place so much, we've gone there for birthdays and anniversaries. There's something in me that loves pairing a memorable occasion with a favorite place. However I DO NOT recommend this place for a special event. We've tried for at least our three last special events, always mentioning the event, and nothing special happens. I don't need free ice cream, but there's not even an acknowledgment or "thank you for celebrating with us." Great place for a date night or girls night, but not for a special celebration. read more

Stopped by Heyday for nightcap cocktails and it was industrial yet warm and welcoming inside. The service was excellent as well and the craft cocktails were made perfectly. The smoky old fashioned has a hint of peach and nice smokiness to it. The Pinky Pony Club was SO delicious and super cute with the silhouette dust of the pinky pony. My friend got the blind melon and it looked absolutely perfect for a warm summer night but sadly I'm allergic to melons so couldn't try it. Would love to try the food here next time. read more

Ambiance is the big winner here! Very cool decor, comfy seating and friendly staff. Great music--it was all 60's-70's oldies the afternoon we went. Drinks were good--love the options. Very eclectic choices. I had the old fashioned and my son had the cherry bomb. The pork belly was ok. It's always chewier than I expect but I liked the bulgogi sauce. Grilled Romain is not on the menu in most places but it's seriously one of my favorites. So freaking tasty. read more

Great experience and amazing service! My family and I came in late on a Saturday night, and everything was perfect. The food was absolutely amazing, and the drinks were just as good. I've heard they get really busy during brunch (which makes sense!), but even at night the vibe was great. My mom and dad absolutely love this place, and it was such a nice experience coming in later with the family -- good music, a DJ, and just a really fun, relaxed atmosphere. read more

I had high hopes and expectations based on reviews but it was just average. Not bad at all, but not a destination restaurant by any means. Service was ok, deviled eggs ok, calamari order was very small and my steak ordered rare was medium rare not close to rare. Very mid, not a destination restaurant at all. read more

Such a cute and modern place! The drinks are amazing, the food comes out hot and fresh. Everything we ordered was tasty and we didn't leave any crumbs. Our super stand outs were the Pork Belly Bites, Chicken Marmalade Sandwich (which pairs amazing with the chipotle ranch), and the poke bowl! We heard the brunch menu is to die for so we definitely will be back to try that menu as well. Thanks for an amazing evening! read more

First, I'd like to extend my sincere thanks to Anthony, the owner, and his entire staff for delivering such a flawless dining experience. Every dish we ordered exceeded our expectations. The chicken curry was outstanding, the fig pizza was exceptional, and Heyday's take on deviled eggs was both creative and delicious. To top it all off, dessert was truly five-star. We ordered the carrot cake, and it was, without question, the best carrot cake I've ever had. Beyond the incredible food, the atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming, and the service was just as impressive. Every member of the staff made us feel genuinely appreciated, which elevated an already memorable evening. I honestly don't think you can go wrong with any of Anthony's restaurants. I'm fortunate to live near his other restaurant, The Nook, and it has also been a favorite of mine. If proximity weren't the only factor, I'd happily become a weekly regular at Heyday. The extraordinary food, exceptional staff, and energetic atmosphere make it a true standout. Thank you again for an unforgettable experience. I look forward to returning soon. Best regards, Matt A read more

Nice place that's located downtown. Be mindful of what time you go as this place can get quite busy. They do offer reservations, which I recommend doing unless you can snag a place at the bar. We had a large group, so we opted for earlier reservations. We ordered several different things, starting with the charcuterie board, calamari, French fries, and the glazed pork belly. The charcuterie board was simple and came with pickled onions (my fav) and a whipped herb spread that paired well with the pita and crackers. The calamari was crispy and came with two sauces; a chipotle ranch and a marinara. The marinara was quite chunky, though the chipotle ranch was a nice addition. The glazed pork belly was absolutely delicious; perfectly caramelized with a rich, melt-in-your-mouth tenderness. The sweet-savory glaze added just the right amount of depth and balance that kept you coming back for more. The entrees consisted of several salads; house and the grilled romaine, the American burger, chimichurri steak quesadilla, and fish and chips. The salads were fine and what was expected. The burger however was ok for what it was; didn't have a ton of flavor. The steak quesadilla was alright as well; a tad greasy, but wished the steak had a tad more flavor. The fish and chips were probably the best entree of the night. The portion was huge with the fish being golden and crispy on the outside, while tender and flaky on the inside. The chips were interesting; they were flat steak fry size, but perfectly cooked and crispy. The fish paired well with the zesty tartar sauce. Overall, the food was fine, with the pork belly and fish and chips being surprisingly better than expected. The food was reasonably priced for the portion size. I found it interesting though that the fries accompanying other meals were the usual type of fries, while the "chips" were a completely different type of fry. It was a busy night with the cinco de mayo event taking place, but the service was friendly and attentive, making our first visit even better. Definitely a place I see myself visiting again. read more

Braydon (sorry if not the correct spelling) was a spectacular server. Would ask to be in his section again. Five of us sent on Sunday for brunch. The poached eggs for the benedicts were way over cooked. We pointed it out to the server and they made it right for us. The food was amazing. Steak tacos, carnitas benedicts and strawberry filled french toast. Can't wait to go back. read more

TLDR: The drinks are phenomenal and the food is fantastic. Heyday has showed up exceptionally in every way since the day they opened in Downtown Celina. A tremendous amount of care and selection has been put into the decor, the staff, the service, the food and the drinks. Whether you're a local or just visiting, you'll absolutely walk away satisfied and looking forward to your next experience here. The Food: They have a solid menu offering and seasonal rotations. I've tried dinner, lunch and now their brunch. Anything from an absolutely amazing goat filet (which I don't think they have up any more), the Ahi Wonton Tower, tenderloin tacos, Creamy Dill Salmon, Blackberry & Brie Grilled Cheese or Crab Cake Benedict. It's divine. The Drinks: Let's start with my favorite. Sage Against The Machine hand crafted with the utmost of style and perfection with Hibiscus Infused Fords Gin, Cream de Violette, Orgeat, Pineapple, Citrus, Sage. The Espresso Martini is another fav. But seriously, just ask the ultra talented bar staff at Heyday and they'll make magic happen. There's so much to take in and takeaway here. Just go and thank me later. read more

Yes Sir!!!! This place is cool- fun-hip-tasty food and drinks and great staff! Hadn't been before and wife received a gift card! The cupcake deviled eggs and corn ribs are interestingly delicious. I had the burger and fries which were both great! My wife opted for the shrimp tacos and thoroughly enjoyed them as well. Go support this small town business! I'm glad we did and will continue to do so! read more

We were visiting family and wanted to try something different. The 1st place we went to was way too busy so we looked for another option and lucked up on this gem. I loved the decor and ambiance. My Mom had the crab cake benidict and she said it was loaded with crab and no fillers she loved it. I have the classic breakfast with biscuits. I enjoyed everything and those jams had me wanting more. They should jar them up and sell them. We look forward to going back for dinner next time we visit. read more

This is a cool spot. The bar is stocked, and the bartenders really know how to make a drink. Fabulous drink menu. The ambience is old/new school whiskey bar motif. I had an incredible pork chop as well. There were not a lot of patrons when we visited thankfully. I imagine this place getting really loud on a busy night. Our servers were very attentive and friendly! Thank you so much. read more

Love Heyday! However we visited last night and had the charcuterie board. It was very sparse for the price charged, definitely felt it wasn't worth the $. read more

Great vibe for families or date night. The deviled egg cupcakes are stupidly amazing and clever. I don't know of any other restaurant that makes them. Our server, Gabriel was very attentive and personable. My husband got the Blackened Catfish Atchafaylya and I ordered the grilled pork chop and it was moist and tender. I then received a piece of their acclaimed in house made carrot cake. Wow, I do not like carrot cake normally BUT I'd go back for this. read more

Finally Celina is getting some decent night out options! Heyday is a cocktail restaurant with superb cocktails!! I've been here twice already, first time with hubby for lunch and second time with a friend for drinks and snacks. Every cocktail I've tried here has hit the mark and the food is good as well! The ambiance reminds me of a trendy Dallas spot (think Apothecary vibes if you've ever been there) and their mixologists at the bar are friendly and fun to talk to. The menu for their cocktails is extensive and the prices are really reasonable for the quality of their drinks. I have yet to try their dinner entrees but the appetizers and brunch foods are great. This is definitely going to be one of our new go to spots and love that it's only a few minutes from my house! read more

Okay!! I see you Celina!! Yall I was so impressed when I walked into Heyday! The vibes were just vibing. Calling all parents - call up that baby sitter asap and have yourself a little date night at Heyday. The cocktails do not disappoint! Order the Tropic like it's hot drink! It's sooo good and such a treat to see the bartender make it. It's a sorbet + drink an absolute treat! read more

Food and drinks are on point. Don't miss out on downtown Celina. Always a special menu item. Chef Joey is doing good things!!

My husband and I dined at Heyday on a Saturday around 6 pm and were seated immediately, but the restaurant fills up quickly. It is on the smallish side for a restaurant, but very nice decor. We had great service throughout our visit and the deviled eggs and American Burger were delicious and reasonably priced. Cocktails are okay, but not quite worth the price. Menus are available via a QR code only. Our server said it is because they are still working on refining their menu. The food menu has a lot of variety, but given that the restaurant is loud, I would not care to eat here for the menu items priced above $20. It is worth a drive to Celina, and I would return. read more

Such a fun spot for a night out in Celina! The Ahi Wonton Tower was fresh, flavorful, and honestly a great way to start the meal. The staff were friendly and really knew their stuff. The place has a stylish but comfortable feel that we loved. It is a little bit of a treat, but well worth it. Everything came out looking and tasting amazing. I highly recommend Heyday if you are looking for something special! read more

Came back to re-review. Since my first visit I have been back twice. Once for lunch and another for a Christmas party.

As always nice staff but yes come here to eat! read more

1st I want to thank Alexandra. This girl was hustling and table to table. She worked her butt off and should be the trainer or manager if she isn't. The restaurant is beautiful and designed beautifully!! I loved the bee restroom and my husband got a kick out of Benjamin Franklin blowing a bubble. For appetizer we had Bruschetta and Calamari. Fair warning though it's not true Bruchetta with motz, tomatoe, and basil. It's an olive spread with oil and ricotta. For dinner my husband got the Ribeye Tacos, and I got the Pork Chop dinner. Both were amazing. Only recommendation would to provide a steak knife with the pork chop to make it more upscale. Drinks: we got The Manhattan, Old Fashion, Espresso Martini, and Sage Against The Machines. I would order Sage Against The Machines over and over it was so good. I'm excited for this place!! read more

Really enjoyed the food and atmosphere & the bourbon collection. We spent over $300 here with over half that being drinks . Know your bourbon, they do not have a list just bottles at the bar . Food was amazing!. We came here for my husband's birthday dinner , nice intimate setting - pls note they do not comp birthday desserts . Would also be a nice spot for a small dinner party. We plan on going back to try the brunch ! read more

Hey day's food is always exceptional. Everything I have eaten I have enjoyed. I did downgrade from a 5 start to a 4 star because you must use your phone to see a menu. My husband and I enjoy going out for a meal and we intentionally leave our phones in the car. We enjoy each others company and don't want the distractions. The prices are a little high, but well worth the extra charge. read more

This is a great cocktail bar! Now the drinks are a little pricy so that's my only knock ($15-20 a drink roughly) the bartenders are knowledgeable and skilled so you do get what you pay for. I have only sat at the bar for my visits and have enjoyed it greatly. It is a great upscale Dallas type bar in downtown Celina which is a great addition. In short this place delivers great cocktails! read more

They had the best espresso martini I've ever had. The lemon ricotta pasta was very good but needs protein. The harvest salad was good. The Cuban can be better. Unfortunately, I had the steak and frites. The fries were good however everyone tried the meat and it tasted and smelled old while it was very overcooked for being medium. We threw most of it away and it's the most expensive thing on their menu. read more

Would have probably given it 4 stars if the music wasn't so loud. Food was pretty good no complaints there. Servers were very knowledgeable as well. Personally the music was too loud in there for a restaurant, everyone at the table agreed. They should decide if it's a night club or restaurant. Don't get me wrong I like some music but it was too much. Maybe I'll try it again. Probably not read more

I've been wanting to try this place for awhile and figured it was the perfect time to try since my mom was visiting from out of state. Our server was the female bartender and things started off okay. She came back to take our order and didn't write anything down even though we had a couple of modifications. We ordered an app and 3 entrees. All of our entrees come out and the app never did. She never came to check on us and we finally flag her down and we let her know the app never came, we needed some mayo and we'd like a refill. She comes back with mayo, a refill of regular coke (we had diet) and says she never put the app in and asked if we still wanted it. Didn't apologize once. We say no to the app because what's the point now. We ask another server for the manager and he was very nice and apologetic and discounted our bill and gave us some dessert. The other bartender who was the lead also came over and apologized to us and said he was supposed to be watching over her so he was at fault too. The food was great though! Both my mom and I have careers in hospitality so we know what basic good service is, I hope they learn from it because this place has amazing potential. read more
