    Egg, Bacon, Keep it Simple Salad.
    Linda F.

    The Hayden-1.8.24- 2/100 We went for brunch today for the first time. Half of us did order lunch though because their menu had such good selections and curiously named sandwiches. My Mom and Dad got a Hayden Burger and Patty Melt. Both were large portions and delicious. The French fries here are colossal and taste great. We didn't even need the ketchup but my Mom can't live without it. My Husband had the Frito Pie Chili Cheese Burger with fries. It was goood! I ordered the Build Your Own Omelette with Swiss, mushrooms and caramelized onions. This was a generous 3 egg omelette with huge breakfast potatoes that were perfectly seasoned. I didn't even need to add anything to my omelette because the potatoes complemented the Swiss cheese so well. Mijo had an egg with bacon and the Keep It Simple Salad with a Raspberry Lemonade. He really liked it and mentioned the lemonade was "very satisfying" :-D We were so blessed to have KATHY help us out today as we barely scratched the surface of all the appetizing items in the menu. We definitely have to come back for more. I'll include photos with close-Ups to help you really see how generous the portions are and how delicious they looked (and everything tasted great). ~LindaD

    Pancakes and salads verde omelette
    Karla C.

    Obsessed. I really enjoyed coming here with my fiancé for brunch. We came on a weekend and got to enjoy a nice sunny day in San Antonio by sitting outside on the patio. The food was so delicious and the portions were very generous. We like to get something sweet and savory which lead us to the barbacoa omelette with salsa verde. We also got the stack of pancakes which paired so well with the blueberry compote. I ordered a side of sausage and was pleasantly surprised when I bite into it and it had cheese. The oatmilk chai latte is one of the best I've ever had, I can't wait to come back! Staff were extremely nice, they provided fast service, and great recommendations.

    This is a burger as a lettuce wrap.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Good healthy food in an upbeat positive environment with friendly service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You can rely on the Hayden to produce.

    Fun place to visit because it takes reservations and you don't have to hope you get there and wait in line for hours. The menu is different and smaller than the original Hayden on broadway but there are still plenty of choices to select from. Staff was friendly and efficient! I appreciate the Mobile POS unit because it saves time finalizing your bill rather than waiting for your server to come back after you have waited. Nice idea!

    The food was great ! Was there for breakfast! Service was good, but a bit slow. The restaurant has a good vibe and it is small - I do recommend as the food is 5/5

    1/2 Pastrami sandwich and Salt-and-Vinegar chips.
    Rudy F.

    Stopped into this new location on a mid-afternoon Friday. The first thing that struck me was the nice interior of the restaurant. We were seated promptly and the server greeted us soon after. The table was clean and the rocking seat was very comfortable. I did notice the considerable bar area... and while half of the restaurant certainly felt like a nice diner, the other half was a bar with music that was far too loud - which only created a distraction during a lunch service. So I ordered the Pastrami sandwich on the menu, and at a $19.99 price point, was expecting a mile-high construction of a sandwich the likes of Katz Diner in NY. To my disappointment, I got a regular sized pastrami sandwich with kraut and spicy mustard. That's where the disappointment ended. Other than the soggy bottom slice of bread, the sandwich was absolutely delicious and the pastrami tasted completely house-made. I ordered the salt and vinegar chips with the sandwich, not knowing they were house-made. It was certainly a big mound of chips, but they were over-cooked.. and left something to be desired. Also the pickle spear that accompanied the sandwich was the bottom of the barrel. It was barely cold and very limp. The service was fine, but not over-the-top, nor did the server seem very friendly. Finally, as far as the price point, a $20 sandwich that delivered on flavor but not on size was disappointing. I might be back to try another menu item or two, but I'm not going out of my way either.

    The food was yummy.

    We came here on a Saturday between lunch and dinner. This is in a large shopping center with tons of parking. We were sat right away. Our server was attentive, but really soft spoken. The music was a little loud, which didn't help, but not too loud. We got here just after three and were on the midday menu. I got the pastrami and Swiss with a side of matzo ball soup. My wife got the Ted Danson with a side of salt and vinegar chips. We both loved our sandwiches and the soup. The chips were good, but didn't taste much of the salt and vinegar. The sandwiches were huge and we each took half home.

    Service was great at giving us time to decide and suggestions on what to order. Food was quite good.

    The Hayden on Broadway was a frequent stop when it first opened. I loved their Ted Danson, Salmon Sandwich and Elaine's Big Salad. Therefore, I was very happy to see them open a Hayden closer to me. But this new Hayden has some differences. The Broadway one is more bougie, while Alon's is a bit more casual. It is also a smaller space, but clean and inviting. And service was efficient. Food is similar, but we were disappointed because some food items were not included in this menu. Missing were the Beet Hummus & Egg Toast and the Shrimp Noodle Salad, the two plates that we want to try. We were told they would be added to the menu at a later date. Thus, we went ahead and ordered something else. There weren't any big issues with this other Hayden, except for one: the music. There weren't a lot of patrons at the time we showed up, around 10:30, but at some point, the music volume was raised! It was loud enough to make communication challenging and uncomfortable. I wouldn't say the differences at The Hayden at Alon are bad, just a change. Food was similar, albeit with a more limited menu, that will grow, I was told, as time progresses. Location and service work fairly well. And, hopefully, the music issue will also change.

    Been here a few times. It never disappoints. The Matzo Ball soup is the best I've ever had. Staff is super cool. Food is good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Atmosphere is chill.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Half price burger night on Tuesdays. Plus they quote Seinfeld on the menu. This place is legit. Give them a try...great neighborhood gem.

    Elaine's Big Salad
    Vanessa C.

    This was my first time to The Hayden and it might be my last. This was their first week and they have the service down! We arrived for Happy Hour and the drinks were good. We ordered the Pimento Cheese dip on the HH menu (not pictured). It was good. The pimento had some spice to it. The chips were overly seasoned though. We also ordered the Brussels for the table ( also not pictured ) and they were ok. I had the pork schnitzel it was good. The sauerkraut was different. The breading was good but also over seasoned. The German potato salad was tasty. My friend had the salad and there wasn't any dressing with it so we had to ask for it. It was good. My other friend who had the chicken fried chicken really enjoyed their plate. The sandwich was also good, but nothing extraordinary stuck out about it. The staff was super friendly and very attentive. It was a bit loud in the restaurant so just fyi. The place is smaller, diner style. The pricing was a bit high, but whose pricing isn't nowadays? Overall it was a pleasant experience. The food didn't stick out to us as being extraordinary so not sure if I will be going back.

    Chili cheese frito burger with house chips
    Rachel C.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]First time at Hayden. Nice place. Bartender was great[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The Frito burger was good but could have been better if the chili actually tasted like Chili. It didn't have that chili flavor Plus the house chips were cold The cucumber Ricky was very refreshing When we got the bill my boyfriend asked me what's this happy kitchen fee ‍ I asked and was told it was a tip for the cooks Just a little something for them I know they work hard But!!!! I feel that with the higher prices to eat out there employer should give them a better wage and not tack it onto the customers All in all it was a good experience

A cute spot on Broadway in downtown San Antonio…read more Sylvie the owner is originally from Western France and moved close to Paris then came to San Antonio. Their baking ingredients are sourced from France and the recipes are from her and her husband. And they're a local restaurant which I love supporting! We had the Petit Dejuener Deluxe breakfast which includes one pastry (either a croissant, chocolate croissant or bread pudding), a baguette (with either butter, homemade jam or honey), organic fresh eggs made to order or quiche slice, fresh squeezed orange juice and a yogurt with granola and fresh fruit and a black coffee or tea. It's a great option for those unable to decide on what to eat for breakfast. They have sandwiches, individual baked goods, à la carte items and hot and cold drink options as well. Coffee is strong n tasty Quiche is not dry at all Baguette and croissant are fresh baked Homemade jam Fresh squeezed OJ! Makes me happy! And for those in Austin...they opened a second location in Austin West lake area.

Downtown residence, if you haven't gone your missing out (from a guy who lives in Europe 3-4 months out of the year) Tourist... You will thank me later.

Light dish. Tc double cheese burger: very strong flavors, somewhat sweet. Dense/heavy dish . Our waiter was quick and friendly. The restaurant lighting was dimmed and gave a more intimate /bar environment. I think the ac was broken here because it was very warm and they had fans going on around the room. I think this place would be good for someone who is prefers an American fusion cuisine that leans heavily on the western style dishes. The fusion elements were cute but I still left unsatisfied but still full. We did not park. We walked here right from the river walk. Not a bad place to go if you arrive in town after 9 pm.
