Both times I have been here, I left disappointed. The first time, the waitress was more interested talking to her friends than refilling my drink. The next time, I got the wrong sandwich. Even a lunch special, double cheesburger and 2 sides is still $13. I would hate to see how much it is not on special. The lemonade is good, but is mostly ice. The fries were cold. And they close really early for some reason when they used to stay open later.

This place is a JOKE!!! To whomever the new own is of this childhood gem, you really should think about new MANAGEMENT!! the woman who is currently running it (I believe cat was her name) is running away all you customers and stealing from your business!!SincerelyA customer who doesn't want to lose a good childhood memory!!

Food was amazing and service was great! Not to expensive! Sunrise burger was super good!
Great food and awesome place to eat. Has great atmosphere, and the manager Kat does a great job. Has a new owner and look forward to all changes he makes.

I was visiting family in Polar Bluff and went to Hayden’s as a kid visiting PB during summers. The Hayden’s pink lemonade is world famous! You must try it if you’ve never had it. It was interesting revisiting the place as an adult. It was as good as I remembered. I ordered a cheeseburger and fries, it was the best mealI had during my short 3 day visit. It’s a special place, hold lots of memories for hundreds if not thousands of people. The building has changed over time, but the inside was clean and welcoming. The food was prepared to order, served hot and yummy. I look forward to another visit with my fam, and of course, another stop in at Hayden’s.

I'm from out of town obviously. So I went in and I ordered a burger and fries. 5 minutes a mailman came in and ordered the same. I was waiting around and then I had to run out to my car for a second because I have my dog with me. When I came back in the mailman was leaving with my food and I had to wait another five or so for mine. Ain't no local mailman that's more important than any other paying customer. The food was low-grade. I don't know why some Cooks think they got to smash and cook the hell out of a burger and turn it into a piece of leather...

I ate a late lunch at 2 pm . THEY CLOSE AT 3 PM DAILY ? Very good barbecue sandwich and a huge side order of fried okra . I didn't have room for a slice of pie .They had 5 different kinds ! Pink lemonade was great . Waitress was very attentive and helpful .
I paid $12.00 for a “bbq” sandwich that had never even seen a bbq pit. That was the worst meat I’ve had in a bbq sandwich by far. Incredibly dry and flavorless. Just get the pink lemonade if you don’t mind paying for a cup filled to the brim with crushed ice and maybe 3-4 shots of lemonade. Ridiculous. Wouldn’t recommend. The staff were very friendly though. That’s about it.

Small diner with good food. The cheese balls are the nest I've ever had. The burger was basic but well prepared and delicious. The lemonade really is good and served in generous portions. Staff did a great job.
