Hey Day Market

Hey Day Market welcomes you to a one-of-a-kind dining experience in the heart of Auburn, Alabama. Located at 211 S College Street, this vibrant food hall brings together multiple local vendors under one roof, giving visitors the chance to explore an ever-changing menu of fresh, chef-driven dishes. With a 4.8-star rating and hundreds of reviews, the market has quickly become a favorite gathering spot for Auburn University students, families, and out-of-town guests looking for variety and quality in a casual, open atmosphere.

Whether you are in the mood for a custom-built poke bowl, handcrafted tacos, a perfectly baked calzone, or a sweet treat from a gelato counter, Hey Day Market delivers a lineup that spans cuisines and cravings. Guests consistently mention the welcoming team members, the outdoor seating, and the ability to order from multiple kitchens in a single visit. It’s the kind of place where a quick lunch can turn into a relaxed dinner, and every member of your group finds something they love without having to compromise on a single restaurant.

What We Offer

The market-style concept means you step into a lively space filled with independently operated food counters, each specializing in a distinct category. Walk through and you’ll encounter made-to-order burgers, fresh sushi-grade seafood bowls, decadent breakfast-style crepes, authentic street-style tacos, and scoop shops serving gelato and extravagant sundaes. Because every vendor prepares items to order, dishes arrive hot, crisp, and full of flavor.

Beyond the core food stations, Hey Day Market features community tables, a dedicated takeout program, and digital menu screens that help you navigate the daily offerings. All-day service from 11 AM to 8 PM means you can pop in for an early lunch, a mid-afternoon snack, or a full dinner with friends. The patio seating is a particularly popular choice during Auburn’s mild evenings, letting you dine al fresco while enjoying the energy of College Street.

Why Customers Choose Us

Hey Day Market stands out because it eliminates the “where do you want to eat?” debate. Groups with different tastes can split up to order from separate vendors and then reunite at a shared table—no more endless back-and-forth. The market also emphasizes locally sourced ingredients and from-scratch cooking, so even though you're in a food hall, the quality feels artisanal.

Visitors frequently highlight three things in their reviews: the friendliness of the staff, the generous portions, and the fun of mixing and matching courses. You might start with a savory crepe from one counter, follow it with a spicy tuna bowl from another, and finish with a brownie sundae from a dessert spot. Add in the competitive Auburn location, plenty of nearby parking, and the steady buzz of happy diners, and it’s easy to see why the space earns such high ratings.
