SO WHAT IS THE HAYDEN ANYWAY?

Community means everything to us at The Hayden, a restaurant where everyone is welcomed to come together. We’re a friendly space, where we mingle our deep love and respect for the classic Jewish delicatessen with the charming vibe of a South Texas diner. 

With The Hayden, we set out to create an all-purpose (and eventually all-day) neighborhood spot where both our Jewish food and craft cocktails will always be creative and thoughtful, just never overthought or fussy. 

We want to serve you delicious food and deliver authentic hospitality; quite simply a reimagining of your typical old school diner. Come to think of it, that is honestly why we got into this business in the first place.

The team at The Hayden is more than ready for you to take a seat, break some challah with us (we’d recommend the Pastrami & Swiss), and finally find a place that reminds you…we aren’t really so different from each other, after all.
