Chile, if y’all are tired of looking at the same dinner rotation at home, January in Hayward is about to save you. The City’s Economic Development Division is running the 3rd Annual Hayward Restaurant Month from January 1–31, 2026, with 20+ local spots doing exclusive menu items, limited-time dishes, and straight-up discounts.
Most deals are 10–50% off or free add-ons, which means you don’t need a fancy prix-fixe budget to eat out this month.
Here’s the thing that makes this different from a regular “Restaurant Week”: it’s a whole MONTH, and the deals are casual. You can walk in with the kids on a Tuesday and still get the deal. The City partners with Yelp on a customized in-app map and a collection that lists every participating restaurant and its special, so you’re not guessing. Go search “Hayward Restaurant Month” on Yelp and the map does the work for you.
The standout for a date-night-on-a-budget moment is Storybook Bar + Kitchen at 943 B St in Downtown Hayward.
They’re doing a 3-course menu for $45 — Kale Caesar, a pizza of your choice, and a signature dessert — plus 10% off takeout and a buy-one-get-one free on desserts. For weekday family meals, Los Dos Hermanos at 28257 Mission Blvd is doing 50% off select Super Famoso Burritos, Super Burritos, and Palomas, Monday through Friday all month.
That is not a typo. FIFTY percent off…
