“Clean, quiet, local restaurant. Tried bacon cheeseburger, waffle fries, chicken Philly sandwich, and two soups. All was good. Very clean, not busy. Easy to have quiet conversation. Staff pleasant, helpful. Yummy dessert case with several options, cheesecake, cakes. Carrot cake looked good, as did mango key lime cheesecake. No room for dessert, maybe next time. Prices reasonable.“

“More of a bar that serves good food when you're inside. You order at the back of the hall, pay there, then wait for your buzzer to go off to go get it. Burgers were great! Barman was friendly and helpful about learning about their craft beer“

“Excellent staff, lots of laughs, great music inside and outside!!“

“Haydens is a great place to eat! they are the best restaurant in town. The food is wonderful and their soups are out of this world. I only wish they would get this website up to date and working properly. I try to check it every day and am often disappointed with it not being updated.“

“1.00 beer!!! Friendly bartender!! Free pool on Monday!!!!“

“Great chicken sandwich and fries!“

“Had to wait a long time for our order because the owner was the only one working. Her employee scheduled didn't show up... Again. That being said the food was excellent! Everything is made fresh, no frozen. The burger was high quality and fantastic. My husband had brisket sandwich which he liked also. The baked beans were thick and hardy with pulled pork meat in it. Yum! They were out of several items due to supply chain issues. Which, is happening all over. We will definitely be coming back. Thanks Jodi keep up the good work! Hope you can find some reliable employees to help you.“

“fun bar great music and great bartenders“

“We had a funeral luncheon today, perfect location for the Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery- the set up/family style food they have specifically for this type of event is great- private area, pleanty of food, good food. But what made me come on to leave a review was the great waitress we had. She went above and beyond, finding out my daughter couldn't eat much because her wisdom teeth had been pulled last week, and got her pleanty of mashed potatoes, and she was able to take some to go too. I know it doesn't sound like much, but when your 13, you haven't been able to eat much for the past week, have to go to all day funeral services, and then a lunch where your not sure what you will be able to eat, her kindness was very much appreciated! Thank you!“
