The Hayden

My friends and I enjoyed the NYD pajama brunch at the Broadway location. It was their first visit and they couldn’t say enough about the food, atmosphere and service. Our wait staff was so attentive and friendly. She was knowledgeable about all menu items and made great recommendations. We asked to be moved to a booth as it was more comfortable and private than a table; we were easily accommodated. A barbacoa omelette was ordered to go and feedback was that it was the best he had ever had! We also had Irish coffee which was delicious and warming on a chilly morning. We had a fun and wonderful morning enjoying our food, atmosphere and experience.

My family and I visited The Hayden for the first time the other day. Even after days after our meal, the overall experience stuck with me. So much so, I felt reason to leave a review. The aesthetics were picture-perfect. So cute, trendy, and clean! The wait staff was amazing and attentive. We met the owner, Adam. It was a pleasure speaking with him. It is evident how much he cared about the restaurant and his customers. Last but not least, the food was INCREDIBLE. My family and I were floored by the authenticity of the dishes and the flavors. It was awesome. I highly recommend!! We thank Adam for the outstanding hospitality!

This is an experience I had dining at The Hayden. Was recommended by a few online reviewers and decided to try something new on a lovely warm Sunday noon. Definitely did not disappoint. It is located at a small plaza right off of Broadway and crossing Hilderbrand Ave, which is the exit off of 281 fwy you want to get off from via highway. It is diagonally across from Jim’s restaurant. Parking is decent with about 4 rows of space in front of the restauant where the first row is 20min only, so you may have to walk a short distance during busy hours. Interior decor is modern and hip. It can get quite noisy during busy hours; definitely keeps the vibe lively. Ordered the Chicken & Latke Waffle. It was very well prepared with flavorful seasoning, extremely crispy chicken on the outside. The Latke Waffle is not your typical waffle but stuffed with hash. It actually tastes a little like the “tsai bao hong dou bing” (vegetable round cake) when I used to eat as a child back in Taiwan. Amazing taste and mix of sweet and savory chicken. Also ordered the Carajillo, which was the perfect dessert after the meal. I’d especially like to recommend the staff including Ronaldo, Brittney, and Abigail. Ronaldo has been working there for merely about a month but handles everything so well as if he’s already worked for years; he even recognized my military status. Brittney made the Carajillo amazingly in a glass cup with the fiery performance I expected; she was also very friendly and gave good service despite it being extremely busy at that time. Last but not least, Abigail, though not my main waitress, took the time to explain what the Latke waffle was made of when I asked and even recommended some good local places to go in San Antonio; great attitude! Because of the great food and the fabulous services from Ronaldo, Brittney and Abigail, will definitely come back to try more dishes again if in the area. Keep up the great work Ronaldo, Brittney, Abigail and The Hayden!
