We knew that being sent to The Hey Day from TikTok was going to be good, but after checking out the mixed reviews, we weren't quite sure what to expect. The restaurant is small, but the decor is vibrant and very Palm Springs. Plus, they offer parking in the back. Now, for the highlight of this review. We tried the Smash Single, the Western Double, and an order of fries and onion rings. The burgers were packed with flavor and not as greasy as typical burgers. The onion rings were crispy and bursting with flavor. The fries were crispy and fresh—honestly, the perfect fries, with each one perfectly crispy and fluffy inside. The meat patties were excellent, with crispy edges but no burnt pieces. The bacon on the Western Burger was cooked to perfection. This would definitely be a go-to place for us. Plus the staff was so so pleasant and felt very welcomed.

My husband and I just got married and drove all the way from Florida on a roadtrip and after a long drive this really hit the spot by far one of the best burgers I’ve had in a while! Service was great and the restaurant was a beautiful place as well!

Probably one of the best burgers I've ever had. You'll need plenty of napkins for this one.

Ordered delivery. Only got half the order. Won't answer the phone so no way to contact them. Go to the website to order so they can rob you instead of deliver the food you paid for.
Shockingly small sizes for $15 burgers. Genuinely gone down hill from where it used to be.
Avoid.

Nice place. Food isn't good. Smash burger patty was super bland. Service is just as bad. Never got checked on during my visit. & the price is criminal for the small portions and everything is sold seperate. Small basket of Fries are 8$ lol

Burger & martini special all day long! This is a cute little spot that I’ll certainly be visiting anytime I’m in Palm Springs. The food was delicious (don’t skip the salad!) and the service was friendly. What more could you ask for from a burger joint?

Felt like a prank. We were told the wait was 45 mins, but we were committed to eating here so just went with it. We waited for about 50 or so minutes and were starving to the point of having hunger headaches. Once we got seated we figured it would turn around quickly. We ordered our food in the first 5 mins of being seated then waited an additional 45 mins— we initially only got maybe 1/3rd of our order (just the burgers). We had also ordered onion rings, a salad and those cheese fries. The sides came maybe 20 mins after the sandwiches when we were done eating those. We just sat there with nothing after our burgers were done, waiting for the easier parts of the meal? It takes 2 mins to toss a side salad. It was the most insane order to eat a side salad once I’d digested my main item. And the salad tasted like a salad kit from Trader Joe’s for an insane price. Just romaine and hardly any Caesar dressing. The cheese fries came as though they’d been sitting for an hour (the cheese wasn’t “wet” but was dried up and cakey). We couldn’t even eat them, it tasted hours old. The fries were cold. Luckily our server shaved 70% of our bill down as a courtesy without us even asking but nonetheless it felt like such a prank. Especially since our meal was meant to be maybe $160 or so. This was insane. The burger was good but this restaurant really needs training, a refresh or a new back of house or something. All and all there was about a 2 hour lead time between when we arrived and when we got our initial part of our order (just the burgers). The waiter also kept re-upping our wine glasses because he felt bad but I had such a huge hunger triggered headache already from the waiting that I couldn’t really even enjoy that. Idk what was going on. It was a Thursday night in the middle of winter. Makes no sense
