The Heyday

The best veggie burger I’ve ever had. Menu is super simple, but what they do, they do well. Mushroom patty is perfect. Bun is soft but doesn’t fall apart. Toppings are messy and abundant but not impossible to eat. Also ordered full order of late night fries to split - was massive and memorable. Tasted great; love the queso. Wish I had appetite to also get onion rings. Short wait around 8pm on a Saturday night. In town for Indian Wells tennis tournament. If I had time to come back for another meal during my trip, I would. Both the table server and host were friendly, quick, and happy to chat and went out of their way to give other vacation recommendations. A great experience.

Such cute little spot! This restaurant, despite being new, is located inside an old, little building that has an older vibe to it, and it’s great!! The servers are nice and friendly. The food is also excellent!! We loved our burgers that were absolutely phenomenal. The late night fries were also very unique and had an incredible taste of their own. The wings were also cooked properly. Overall, this was a great experience! I highly recommend it for your burgers and fries needs!

If you're looking for a great smash burger in Palm Springs, then head over to The Heyday on North Palm Canyon Drive near Vista Chino. Loved the double smash burger, crinkle cut fries, and the tasty Michelada. The Heyday also serves some local craft beer and specialty cocktails, as well as a Martini & Burger Special. Definitely recommend checking this place out on your trip to PS.

A+ Recommended by the Fleur Noire as an amazing smash burger. True enough. I had the lemondrop Martini special and it was amazing. There are only 5 entrees on the menu and 3 of them are smash burgers, but that’s enough when you do one thing very well. Highly recommend.

This place Always hits the spot after landing in Palm Springs! It’s such a delicious smash burger…patty is seasoned well and grilled perfectly; yummy sauce and just everything right! They even made my son a kids version. Or for $9, make it an adult meal with a martini…because, why not?! The cook on the crinkle fries are just perfect too. Crisped and seasoned just right! Cool and casual, old school diner vibe. Quick and friendly service. Always a nice little stop for us here!!

Quote from my mother after her first bite: "I'd given up on beef and thought I'd imagined how good it tasted." HeyDay does burgers RIGHT and the meat was so fresh and delicious, the bacon thick. It was the best burger we'd had in a long time. Our server was lovely and they staff was attentive as they were able to be considering we were seated just before a rush of people came in. Great cocktails too, and you can't beat a $20 martini and burger!

What a delightful burger and cocktails joint! The service was excellent and everyone incredibly friendly and welcoming! We ordered a bunch of smash burgers, fries and onion rings. All of the food was great. I am a huge fan of any burger with thousand island, grilled onions and lettuce! They are also dog friendly which gets a huge thumbs up from me!

This is a cute little spot with only about 11 tables. The funky decor and casual atmosphere are a great place to stop for lunch. We couldn’t pass up the $20 burger and martini special… one of the best smash burgers we’ve ever had. It comes with caramelized onion and 1000 island, and we completed the meal with crinkle cut fries. Everything was served fresh, hot, and under ten minutes. Highly recommend! My husband said why can’t we give it 6 stars?! 🍸 🍔

This was my first time at The Heyday. I can’t say better things about this place! I’m a dirty Martini girl and honestly a little picky. When I say this was THE BEST martini I’ve ever had. I’m serious. Rachael is the most amazing bartender and Taylor had incredible service. Our burgers and fries were amazing. We’ll definitely be coming back!!!!!

On a mission to try the best smash burgers out there, and the one at Heydey definitely makes my top list. I love this place — it’s like diner meets cocktail lounge meets burger joint, and I’m obsessed. Where else can you get a big, meaty smash burger and a well‑crafted martini at the same time. Truly the best of both worlds. It’s centrally located with a small parking lot in the back, plus plenty of street parking. The fries are crinkle‑cut (my favorite), the ranch is solid, and I’d recommend the Caesar salad — it has a fun twist on the classic. They also have a small outdoor seating area, they’re super dog‑friendly, and the vibe is casual enough that walk‑ins work great. A must‑stop if you’re chasing great smash burgers.
