Alon Bids a Heartfelt Goodbye to The Hayden
The Hayden is an American restaurant, originally located on Broadway, San Antonio. The restaurant opened another outlet in 2023 at 10003 NW Military Hwy #2115, San Antonio, TX 78231. This was its Alon market location, which offered a Jewish deli twist.
On May 20, 2025, the official social media page of The Hayden announced that the Alon market location has closed permanently. In this journey of about 2 years, the community welcomed The Hayden with open arms.
While the business had seen success, limited foot traffic may have contributed to the decision. The post noted that the decision to close was difficult and made without prior notice. The restaurant thanked the diners who justified their efforts and purpose. The post also quoted a saying by Kenny Rogers, “ you’ve got to know when to hold ‘em & when to fold ‘em.”
Future Prospects of The Hayden
Fans of The Hayden’s Jewish-American menu staples, like pastrami, matzah ball soup, and more, need not be disheartened. The original location of the restaurant at 4025 Broadway, San Antonio, TX 78209, is open for diners.
The future plans for The Hayden are clear. The restaurant is now planning to improve what they already have and double down on the efforts to extend hours. There are new additions to the menu, better catering packages, and a comfortable atmosphere, and the restaurant has promised additional enhancements.
Given the announcement of the Alon outlet closure, the community expressed their love and disappointment at the restaurant.
