Paid a ridiculous price for lunch, left tip on the table and then also charged it again on our card, ordered a different side than what was on the menu which should have been an upcharge, was never told by the waitress it would be full price, should have also been given the original side. Brisket was tough and chewy. Have went there every yr for over 35 yrs the day before Thanksgiving, it’s normally packed, it was empty this time, I see why! We will never go back!

Three people $84.00 for three sandwiches and three drinks. Ridiculous they placed the tip on my card when I told them I left cash on the table. And charged full price which should have been a dollar up charge for each side, if not also give us the original side with the add on. Watch your bill, they definitely overcharge. And brisket was tough also. We have been going for over 30 years when visiting from NC, but unfortunately will not be going back.

Such a cute little place. Feels like an old school bbq house. Food was excellent. Prices are great and service was the best! Pink lemonade is a must.

Always, at least once, Hayden’s we’re when in town.
This time, I had an excellent fish sandwich with lettuce and tomato and the obligatory pink lemonade that’s as good as ever. Bought a bottle of sauce to take home. Sat outside at picnic table.
Friendly and informative counter woman.

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.

Small town restaurants don’t get any better than this. Super nice employees and the tasty food to back it up? If you’re in Poplar Bluff and want a fantastic, made to order breakfast this is the place to go. The omelet sandwich on Texas Toast was a solid hit and the blueberry roll and chocolate gravy were as decadent and yummy as they are supposed to be. It’s definitely going on our “stop by again” list because we want to give their lunch a shot next time. Plus, our puppy appreciated the love and bacon.

The business has new owners.
It’s hard NOT to compare it to the beloved Hayden’s we’ve known and loved for so long. Leave those nostalgic memories in the parking lot. Along with any cravings for fried chicken. It is on the menu, but has never been available any time I’ve been there. They were out of grilled chicken for the sandwich as well.
Also, keep in mind that this is no longer a barbecue restaurant! They do have it, but it is packaged. Not smoked or barbecued there.
The food was good, just nothing compared to what it used to be. Including the famous Pink Lemonade. It had a powdery taste.
I hope that they find their signature soon, I definitely want to see the new owners succeed!

1st time eating here, messed up my husbands order and the side we ordered because none of the burgers comes with any, was wrong one, we didn’t want to make a big fuss then his food had all the things he ask to keep off . The customer experience was not that great for over priced food that came out wrong didn’t even offer a free refill with all the mess ups.

Came here with a friend, he grew up in Poplar Bluff and goes back for a taste of home from time to time. I got to accompany him this time and it was great! We of course had the BBQ and the famous Pink Lemonade . It was fantastic and the Cafe is decorated so nicely! If you get a chance to stop in your should take it! And get a pink Lemonade to go!
