We come here every time we visit our daughter at college. The food is delicious, great cocktails (also NA cucumber soda and celery soda are great), and the service is friendly and delightful. Great local place for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Abby was a great server on our last visit. read more

Came here for brunch, it was a bit busy but overall it wasn't too bad of a wait considering it was Sunday around noon. Nothing more than expected, maybe 10 minutes? Our server, Ally, was great. She constantly checked in when we needed a refill, but wasn't hovering or being too much. She was also quick to fix our coffee when it came out hot instead of iced. Unrelated to her, my only complaint would be that with all the people eating, it felt a little warm. Maybe turn up the AC/ fans if possible? But the food was delicious! Big portions, could easily be shared. I love the sliced potato's that came with my breakfast. I would come again. read more

Crystal is the best!!! Sooo friendly and never let our coffee cups go unfilled! She def hooked us up Such a great time!

We went here for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. Our server was amazing. Service was on the slower side but the food made up for that. We ordered pastrami and Swiss & my daughters had the strawberry pancakes with fruit and bacon. I also ordered an iced chai guy and bubbly watermelon limeade for my daughters Everything was so good. I love a good pastrami sandwich and this one was spot on. read more

The Hayden - The Pastrami & Swiss - Diners Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

A nice diner with some unusual dishes as well as the classics. The wife had an iced matcha latte that she gulped down because it was so good. She also really enjoyed her fried chicken sandwich with honey mustard on what looked like a potato bun. My fried chicken and latke waffle was good, but I think I still prefer a traditional buttermilk recipe. The stewed apples as a topping were good. Service was excellent. Would recommend. read more

Food was great and Ebony was a great server! Salad was fresh. The eggs and toast my daughter ordered were also great

The food is amazing, and the service is always great! I always get the Elaine's BIG salad with Grilled Chicken! This is the place I bring everyone to when the come and visit San Antonio! read more

Blair was so helpful in helping us select what to eat with so many great options available and was very attentive! Will definitely be back!

The Hayden is a kitschy, cozy eatery on Broadway near the Witte Museum. The service from Miles was exceptional. He was attentive, but not overly intrusive. Our food was good. The brussel sprouts were fantastic! Drinks are great! read more

Really good food and service! The chicken noodle soup I got was delicious and so flavorful! My husband got the fish and chips, which was also just as good! Would come back again! It was a little loud but overall a cozy place to stop into! read more

I was hopeful coming in - all those five star reviews - and very disappointed walking out. My over medium eggs were cold with white runny stuff. Ugh! Toast...also cold. I liked the potatoes and bacon but my sister thought both were overcooked. Really too bad all around. Phil, our server, was nice but could have checked in us after the food was delivered. read more

The food portion, the service, and price all wonderful. The pimento cheese dip is great too.

Ana was great, she provided attentive service for a large party! The food was perfect!!

Food was great and the whole party enjoyed their food as well! Amazing service from Dariel! read more

This was my first visit to The Hayden, and it was such a cute spot! I loved the decor, the peaceful atmosphere, and the selection of board games it felt like a great place to relax and chat. The servers were friendly and attentive. I tried the fried chicken and latke waffle, and it was delicious! The latke waffle tasted like hash browns on the inside, with a hint of sweetness and the perfect crispy crust. It came with apples, sour cream, and syrup, which complemented the dish perfectly. The fried chicken itself was a bit dry and lacked flavor, but the toppings helped enhance it. I also tried The Hayden burger, it was simple but still a solid, enjoyable bite. Overall, I had a great meal and would definitely come back. Thanks for the experience! read more

Huge servings, great prices! Service was great. Perfect ambiance. Ally was excellent.

This is my third time to visit The Hayden (the last time was years ago), my husband and I came for date night and it was just PERFECT to relax and enjoy great flavorful food! We had the smoked whitefish dip with veggies to start and my husband who doesn't eat fish really enjoyed it. Then we split a pastrami and Swiss sandwich and the chicken fried chicken with mashed potatoes, gravy, pickled red onions and candied jalapeños (I asked for extra red onions and jalapeños). Both were delicious and worth every bite. This place is awesome and we can't wait to come back. **I do have one constructive comment: the booth to table height is disproportionate and made eating my food uncomfortable read more

First be careful on where your map takes you because my map was taking me to a different location. Luckily I was paying attention when I was driving and I noticed the location and turned just in time. The location is gorgeous and there is plenty of parking. They do have indoor and outdoor seatings; dogs are welcomed in the outside area. The food was ok. My friend ordered one of the salad entrees, which would have been better served in a bowl versus a plate. I ordered the fish and chips, a bit greasy for me. I wish I would have ordered something else. Drinks were disappointing. I ordered 3 different kinds -none that really stood out. Cute names but I wouldn't return for the drinks. It was a nice place to try since I have never been there. I would try this place for breakfast sometime in the future. read more

Stopped in for a late lunch/snack to hold us over on a weekday. We ordered an appetizer/starter and each a mimosa. The starter was the Crispy Brussel Sprouts. Didn't care for the sweet red pepper jam. Made is soggy as it was just glopped on them. I'd suggest asking for that on the side. Our mimosas were good, nothing special about them. The one starter and two drinks came out to $40 which I thought was very excessive for the lackluster starter and two generic drinks. Not sure I'd go back even with my positive past experiences. Just not worthwhile for the prices. Not to discount our waiter he was very nice and attentive. The atmosphere was great, not loud & fast service. read more

Food was (chefs kiss) and Phil was super nice and attentive! I got the crispy chicken sandwich- the chicken was perfectly cooked, juicy and crispy with a bit of acidity from the pickles and pickled onions. Smothered barbacoa fries were delicious. My fiancé ordered the Pastrami and Swiss with the side of coconut curry soup. And last but not least chocolate chip cookie to go. 10/10 would recommend again and again read more

Ok let me start with what I really care about... The Apple Butter Pancakes! They truly are a bite of heaven! They are "THICC" but still fluffy and light with hints of buttery apples and cinnamon throughout the batter! They are amazing even without the topping which is definitely not from a can or prefrozen, you can tell right away they thinly slice the apple and make the semi sweet reduction in house! Yes I said semi sweet because you think they would be too much covered in a pie style filling but no way, they let the flavors of the apples speak for themselves without a ton of sugar. It can satisfy a sweet tooth and still get a thumbs upfrom your dentist! I drive from Austin to San Antonio just for this! DELICIOUS The staff is friendly and the restaurant feels upscale with out an ounce of pretence. I really enjoyed the chicken fried steak, the best I've had in San Antonio, the gravy was unique, flavorful and creamy, not too thick or dry. I'm not sure quite what the flavor was hinting at but it was YUM! Love this place, I'm going for my birthday I dream of those THICC Cakes!!!! read more

We really enjoyed our visit to The Hayden for brunch! We ordered a lox bagel and the barbacoa omelette and shared a specialty pancake.

We came for the first time about a month ago and since we've been back 3 times already. We've only had the breakfast but want to come back for lunch/dinner. Wait time can be quick or about an hour depending on when you come. But the food & service made it worthwhile. Virginia & Allie were great, very attentive. Super appreciative of replacing the toast that my son dropped on the floor. He's 10 and wanted to cry. That's how much he loved his food. Solid bacon, eggs and potatoes. Barbacoa omelette was delicious. My daughter gets chicken & waffles everywhere and said the chicken & pancake was great. Flavorful chicken, again I think we will be back for dinner. read more
