"The fact that there were 40 to 50 people in line outside when I arrived on a tells you everything you need to know about how good this place is. Fortunately the line moves very quickly! Hot tip: if you're a small party of just a few people, or even an individual, there is open seating available at the bar counter with full food service. The best thing about heirloom is the quality and fresh ingredients used in the food. As if that's not enough, the prices are very reasonable and it's topped off by excellent service. Although there's not full table service, you will order when you come in the door and then they will guide you to a table so it's very convenient. They do not take reservations."

"Was out in Fresno for a track meet and I always look for new places to try when I’m out of town. A friend suggested this place and I’m glad I listened. First off, if you’re going to eat here plan on trying there before 4 pm. I got there about 3 pm and there was a short line but when I left about 5 the line was looooooong. I was warned about this so I went earlier. This is not a bad thing at all it’s a good sign that people are willing to wait to eat here. The menu is very diverse, there’s literally something for everyone. You order at a counter then they bring it to your table which is cool. I only eat one meal a day and I eat healthy portions so I had the lamb burger, eggplant parmigiana and sweet potato fries. It was all very good, everything was fresh. The prices are also very reasonable. I spent about $45 including a tip for all three items. This is now my go to spot when I’m back in Fresno or passing through."

"Food, drinks and service were all 10/10. I ordered the surf and turf and the hipster Caesar. Everything was so fresh and flavor. The tritip melts in your mouth and the salad was huge! The drinks were good as well. I will definitely be back!"

"If your dining decisions are flavor and freshness driven, heirloom delivers. We loved this place enough to visit 3 times in 3 days. Some of our favs were the beet salad, tomato salad, fig pizza, passion fruit drink. Like the best Disney rides, there’s always a line out the door — more about the-order-before-you-sit setup than available space. Consequently, service is minimal, mainly from the register and walked to your seat. I personally have misgivings about tipping a counter business the same as one would a sit down restaurant but I’ll let you cogitate on that. And while atmosphere is comfortable the lack of table service doesn’t demand a level of patron organization that accompanies a more dynamic machine. But these are small negligible matters when you’re in it for the taste."
