I can give this place a solid 4. I tried it for the first time about a month ago and have been back an additional three times. I don't like thick, rare burgers, so these burgers are right up my alley. They are a good size and delicious, as are the fries. A few people are mentioning the "high" prices, but I think they are fair. $14 for a combo (burger, fries, and soft drink). I would much rather buy a great tasting burger from a small restaurant than give my money to big-time chain burger places and receive mediocre food. The customer service has also been very good every time I visit. I have only gotten taken out, but the food is super fresh and tasty. I would highly recommend trying this place out. read more

Came back with a group of friends during burger week. Could tell they we're getting rocked all week but staff were still friendly. I asked for my burger toasted with extra cheese. Bun was toasted, extra cheese forgotten...see picture to see how they fixed that . We got in before the dinner rush so it was still quite but by the time we left the place was jam packed! read more

Heyday - impossible burger + house burger - Burgers Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Solid burger and sides (highly recommend the tater tots, delightfully crisp, fries also good). We came in on a Friday about 5:30, and was quickly seated. This place is smaller in size, so there can be a wait during peak meal times. I enjoyed the sauce on the burger and may try the smash burger next time. read more

Best chicken sandwich I've had. Fries are amazing!! Smashed burger 10/10 . We love this place.. yummy yummy read more

I never leave reviews, but this was one of the worst service experiences I've ever had in my life. We walked in with our 2 year old son and grabbed a table. The waiter said he would "hopefully be with us in 2024". We sat at our table for 20 minutes with our son on our laps because high chairs were in the back and no one offered us one or came over for us to ask for one. We didn't receive waters or even menus, and watched our waiter take a to go order for a group of six who walked in after we were seated without acknowledging us at all. After more than twenty minutes sitting there, having googled the menu so we could be ready to order when we were finally served, we gave up and walked out. I'm sure the food is good but not worth the horrendous service. read more

Burgers are subjective. But I really enjoyed the burger at heyday. It was exactly as I hoped it would be based on the photos I saw. Delicious. Soft bun. Good flavors. Teensy bit of char. My tots were also perfect. Crunchy on the outside and hot on the inside. They aren't normally open for lunch yet but today they were because of the pottery fair. What a pleasant surprise. read more

Heyday - House burger with fries and house burger with tots. - Burgers Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

The house burger was one of the best burgers I've ever had and the customer service was amazing, place was clean, just a little small but with the way the food tasted they'll need to upgrade to a bigger space! 10/10 recommend read more

Got there tonight at 6 and the place was empty. We left at 7 and someone was waiting for our table to open. This place is delicious. We each had the house burger, he had tots, I had fries. Perfect, perfect. They have huge containers of Duke's Mayo (best ever) to show what's in their special sauce. The beignets made me rethink my other experiences with them in NOLA. Light, crispy, fluffy, and filled with chocolate. So good! We will be back. This is not a cheap eats place - employees make a living wage here. Also, no more pies here, but that's ok with those beignets and high quality fries. read more

Heyday is the perfect middle ground of classic flavors and high quality execution. The fish sandwich is just as good as the burgers and the fries are quite excellent. It's clear they care about quality and the service is great. read more

Heyday - Burgers, fish sandwich, fries - Burgers Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

It's good! I won't crave it but I would come back. Burgers are a good smash-style. The fries were really good- hand cut and soft in the middle. We did take out and they did forget to remove the lettuce on one of our burgers but not the end of the world. read more

I came here after a short binge drinking experience on the main strip near this place. When I arrived I have to say I wasn't expecting much because frankly the bar is low for food in this area. To my surprise when I arrived not only did they have "regular" sounding menu items but they had a special that included the house burger, fries and a beer. Imagine a whopper with the charbroil and a Big Mac with the Fixin's but better ingredients, hand made patties and much better customer service. This is one of those spots I would definitely come back to because it's really hard to find good burger joints without going to Northern Kentucky or Norwood....AND, this burger deal is undefeated! Looking forward ti trying other menu items but this one has me sold. Not so humbly submitted, Michael C. read more

This is my new favorite burger place! Very small dining room, about six tables plus a few seats at the counter and as small outside patio. Almost has a 20th century diner vibe. You can choose house burger, which comes with American cheese, onion, pickle, lettuce and special sauce or build your own. I got the house burger and would get the exact same thing next time, Delicious! We split a a plate of fries but can definitely have split a side for 2 people. Beer on tap and cans. Woodburn Brewery right around the corner too for a cool spot to hang out after you eat! Can't wait to go back! read more

O-Pie-O. What happened? Been coming here for years and while I understand the concept was refreshed as a business decision, it in my opinion is not successful. No milk or coffee with the limited pie selection? An attempt at a Shake Shack style burger that has limp lettuce and a weird sauce? The final straw was the poor customer service. The woman at the counter was disinterested, never asked if we were dining in or out and just asked us what we wanted with indifference and got us out the door. If you have a sweet tooth, I recommend Hello Honey across the street. read more

Service: terrific Food: ok Then there was a $5.80 'service charge' in addition to the 20% tip they added up front. Typically I tip 20% but to have it added on the bill when it's handed to me plus an additional service charge for what? I will not be back because of that. read more

Tried Heyday after it's grand opening in Walnut Hills and I have nothing but good things to say. A super simple menu done extremely well. I had the impossible burger, which was the best I've ever had. The house sauce is magical, and the fries are delicious- perfectly crispy and seasoned. The inside is small and simple, just like the menu and the staff was friendly and super helpful. The place was packed but we still received excellent service and an overall 10/10 experience. Will definitely be a regular spot for me and my friends!! read more

This area needed a place like this for so long. Simple, solid menu. Clean interior and great tasting food. It's the perfect combination of a fast experience that feels high end. Smash burger is amazing and so are the tenders. Will be my regular spot moving forward. read more

Heyday - Chicken Tenders, Smash Burger - Burgers Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

This is a great little burger joint. My husband got the Cavalier burger and said it was the best burger he had had in a long time. My simple hamburger was also very good. The tallow fries were SO good--best fries I've had in months. I'll definitely be headed back here. read more

Very simple menu, but that's okay. Burgers are very good and worth the wait. Pleasant staff. The burgers alone are 5 stars and the fries are perfectly seasoned. Really probably the best fries Ive had in a very long time. Unfortunately the cost for a small burger and small cup of fries and a very small soda was 16 dollars. Its a good burger but it wasn't exactly filling. I dont like when restaurants serve too much food because that is just wasteful, but with Heyday, I walked out after eating a combo and was still hungry. My ten year old who never cleans his plate or even finishes a meal ate his entire combo (not the kid combo, I am so glad we didn't order the kid combo as Im assuming it was even less food than the regular combo). Finally, we asked for no lettuce or onion on one of the burgers and we were told there can be no changes to the combo. We were given the offer to "build our own burger" which would not be a combo. I can understand no additions to the burger but they can't take the lettuce off? C'mon! When we got the burgers, the lettuce was all chopped up; I'd much prefer a nice crisp leaf of lettuce than chopped up bits. To wrap up: burger and fries tasted great. I mean, really good. Portions are very small. Prices are pretty dang high for the serving size and they won't take lettuce off the burger. Ill probably go back. Eventually. But there are other places for good burgers that aren't nearly as expensive. read more

Excellent Smash burgers, fries & tots and fast, friendly and accurate service. They have a plant based burger if you have a vegetarian in your fam like we do. Do note this is really meant to be more of a takeout burger stand and the interior seating/bar is small & simple. They charge a 20% fee to dine in and gratuity is expected in addition to that fee. This is clearly posted in the restaurant, but we didn't know that,prior. No big deal. Just a heads up in case that pushes your budget a little bit farther than you would want to go. read more

Offered to pay $1 -$2, whatever was needed to get a tomato put on a kids burger and got a lecture About how kids pallets and kids burgers do not include tomato. have sent probably 50 people here. The attitude I got over a tomato was over the top. read more

No frills burger spot that has a limited menu but makes the most of it! Smash burger was incredible and fries had really good seasoning. I got the adult combo and it came with a beer which I thought was pretty sweet for only $15 total. read more

My friends and I get this all the time while over at the Growler House and I've never been disappointed. Love the smashburger! Fries are really good too! read more

The big boy was a great take on the original and the staff were super friendly and attentive.

Amazing burger with really good fries. Big boy was really good. Service was very good.

My favorite place for a burger these days. No frills, double stacked smash burger with just the right crisp to the edge. Paired with fries and craft beer, ya got yourself a meal for $15! Every time you go back, the taste and service is spot on, A+! read more

For many folks who live in the neighborhood, there's kind of a running joke of whether Heyday will be open (even if their sign is left out in front) and what the service will be like (it can often be slow). That being said, the food itself is good - it is a proper smash burger with no real surprises. Both the tots and fries are cooked well but nothing that really exceeds expectations. read more

Always on the lookout for a great burger joint, I stopped in... I'll keep looking... The patties were so thin they might as well just given me a bun with just the fixin's. They have only two beers on tap. Why bother? Lastly, if you dine in they automatically add a gratuity, leaving you no option but to dine elsewhere if you don't want them to assume they are entitled 20%. On the plus side, the fries were decent. But not worth another visit... read more

I first moved to East Walnut Hills a little over a year ago and tried Heyday for the first time the other day. It was delicious but way too overpriced. Also, I ordered online and was expecting to pick it up on my way home from work but apparently they don't start making your order until you get here. I thought the whole point of ordering online is to have the food ready to go when I arrive!? The waitress handed the people in front of me a bag with their food and she just handed me the container the food came in.. not sure how she expected me to carry it all. I would recommend this place if you want a good burger but be prepared for mediocre service. read more

We needed a great hamburger and fries Sunday and ended up going to Heyday! It was perfect! We had the House burgers with extra pickles and a side of tots and fries. The hamburger had the crispy edges that I love and the special sauce was perfect! The tots and fries were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Our servers were very sweet. My husband loved their small batch root beer! We will definitely go back! read more

Small sandwiches not worth the price 3 sandwiches 40+ buns are cheap fish and chicken sandwich was not good

Heyday did not disappoint! They have a simple menu but everything is very good, burgers, fries, chicken fingers, and even pie. The service was great, and even the owner was going around making sure everyone had a great experience. All of the staff were friendly and patient. We were originally carrying out because there were no open tables, and then one of the staff found us a seat which was also super nice. This will be a regular spot for us! read more

Great place. Some people may not be familiar with "smash burgers." This is a smash burger place. Best smash burgers in town. Locally owned too. read more

I was very disappointed with the food and price. I ordered food while at growler house and there was such a large service fee for them to walk it across the street and get a tip. We got a burger, fries, chicken sandwich, and chill cheese fries and it was almost 60 dollars. The chicken sandwich was inedible. It was a bad piece of chicken that should have been thrown out. It was hard and chewy and was super disappointing. The fries were pretty good. They charge a dollar for one tomato slice to add to a sandwich which is way too much. Very disappointed. read more

I went to Heyday for lunch today & it was delicious! My only issue was that the lemonade tasted extremely watered down. Other than that, I had no issues! Would definitely reccomend! read more

Great food. Cozy dining space. Simple, straightforward menu. Quick service. House Burger was great!

Love this place! Simple menu, delicious and approachable food, great beer. What's not to like? Have done takeout twice, eaten there three times and had a good experience throughout. I've been cutting back on meat so I opt for the impossible smash burger lately (I've had both the regular and impossible versions at Hey Day--both are yummy) and it's pretty perfect. Satisfying and prepared just the way their real meat version is prepared. I mix up the toppings but keeping it simple is my go to--special sauce, lettuce, pickles, onions, tomato. The pickled ramps on the tots are a delicious option I've never really had anywhere else. Highly recommend them and, well, everything! read more

The artist formerly known as, O Pie O. Same great owner, friendly staff and delicious pies. Now DBA, Heyday. I can't think of one burger in the city that I'd rather have right now more than this one. Smash burger style with glistening bun and the perfect accoutrements plus stupid good fries and easy parking. Haven't been to this spot lately? Come see for yourself. read more
