The barbecue was pretty good when you slice your brisket. So thin you can’t tell if it’s it’s that good a quality or if it’s just easy to eat, but it also dries out fast.
The burn ends were pretty good but not the best.
Also the ribs were pretty good. Close to perfect but I also like mine fall off the bone. Or maybe just pull the bone right on out…
Also headed key lime pie which was pretty good…
If you like your fries, it’s crispy on the outside with a good amount of potato inside. This would be your place to get from fries. No dead fries found in the whole batch.
Unfortunately, I didn’t think about taking a picture before we devoured most of it! The burnt ends and ribs were cooked to perfection! The brisket was sliced thin, so it was what we’re accustomed to. Brisket in Texas is cut thicker with a smoke ring. Their brisket was tasted good, but was sliced to be served as a BBQ sandwich. The homemade slaw and potato salad were excellent. We loved the onion rings, they lived up to their reputation. Homemade spicy BBQ Sauce had just the right amount of kick.
Our server was fantastic and the ambience was family friendly. The price was very reasonable considering the amount of food we were given. Even if you don’t live nearby, its worth the drive! Highly recommend, 10 out of 10!!! Pictures are of our leftovers.
8/10 Spare Ribs: nice tasty ribs that aren’t too burnt and have good flavor. Pretty great! $20 special
9/10 BBQ Beans: Delicious rich flavor with great meat inside, hint of spicy but otherwise fabulous
9/10 Honey Mustard: Delicious and perfect, not as good as Joe’s but fabulous
4/10 BBQ sauce: To spicy and dark in flavor, not my favorite and original Haywards had sweeter flavor. This one is like a ketchup with spice. Would probably go for honey mustard instead
Nice crunchy toast and pretty good service! But the toast needed butter! Was misquoted a price but they made it right! Meat was a little greasier than preferred and I would love to have another option for BBQ sauce as the sauce here was not my thing, but I enjoyed my meal here and liked the service and atmosphere! The Original Hayward’s memorabilia was fantastic I’ll be back!
I took another friend and treated him for lunch here. The staff at Hayward’s was super cool and friendly. They were so kind. Jinger was amazing! That makes this next part difficult.
The meats were not good. We went in at about 3 PM on a Sunday. We ordered the variety platter for two with ribs, brisket and burnt ends. Also some beans and potato salad.
When Jinger brought out the meat platter with lovely serving tongs and bread we were hopeful, but then my buddy remarked that the brisket was gray and I said “Oh boy.”
The beans and potato salad were very good. The bread was old and crusty and seemed stale. The gray brisket was nearly inedible. It tasted old and almost like it had been held way too long perhaps from a few days ago.
The ribs had decent flavor, but they were dried out and chewy. I held out hope for the burnt ends, which were very burnt. Some of them were slightly fatty and moist and juicy like they’re supposed to be, and some of them were like super hard, crunchy and dried out.
Not much consistency here except for consistently bad meat.
I so very much wanted to love this place, but we will not return. It started raining right before we left and there was a big group of about 10 people standing under the awning out front and as we walked by I heard one of them say “Well I made sure my last bite was potato salad so I ended on a good note.”
I feel the same. Dang it.
