Back here again, We kicked things off with the taco sticks and potato wedges, both solid starters that hit the spot. For mains, our daughter ordered the New York Strip, and it was cooked perfectly. My husband had the Heinnies Melt and couldn't stop talking about how good it was. I went with the pork tenderloin sandwich,crispy, flavorful, and just plain delicious. We definitely over-ordered, but no regrets, we packed up the leftovers for later. This is clearly a beloved local joint, but if you're in the area and want a hearty, satisfying meal, don't skip it. I'll definitely be back. read more

Still love getting the head off dinner. My wife loved her Philly cheesesteak sandwich.Service is excellent as always. We arrived about 415. The bar area is where we sat. The dinner area doesn't open until 430. Many TVs to look at in the bar area nice. read more

Heinnie's Back Barn - Haddock good fish!! - Steakhouses Near Me - Elkhart, Indiana

We have been going here for years, and Im telling you that I have NEVER had this many issues with this place. The salad they brought to us was OLD, so old the eggs were brown and smelled bad, and the server tried to tell us that this is the way that they get cooked, um no!. The server argued with us from the time we sat down to the time we left. We got the prime rib, and it was suppose to be a pony cut, it was all about maybe 6OZ if were lucky, cut so thin you could see thought it, ordered mushrooms with it, got like 6 small button mushrooms. This place has gone downhill very bad..... read more

Great food, service and atmosphere. Friendly staff! Great history of restaurant shared by our server. We recently moved to the area and it took us a couple years to finally give Heinnie's a try. Now we are upset it took us so long! Lol Great to eat and drink local at a local Business! read more

The food and service are both excellent. This restaurant is locally owned and loved by locals and travellers alike. The decor is basic but clean. (They do have a Christmas Story leg lamp, as a point of interest.) The side salad, salmon, and baked potato is my go to order. It comes with garlic bread and dill sauce. The prices are a bit high, otherwise we'd be regulars. read more

Absolutely amazing prime rib. Staff is super friendly. Mushrooms are amazing as well. Very clean and sporty atmosphere on the bar side. read more

I need to go back soon. Food always amazing. Big portions. Prime rib is so tender and is always the highlight of the meal. Never go home hungry read more

We have been to Heinnies many many times over the years. The food is always hot and delicious! The atmosphere is very -Grandmas house/farm feel. Each table has a wood partion separating it from the next table, making a very cozy private ambiance. The food is exceptional! My husband loves the steak sandwich or a delicious huge burger from there. I loooove the steak fries! Also fried zucchini is always crispy and delicious. We bring out of town guests for a perfect homestyle meal that never disappoints. I unfortunately do not pictures to share, I guess that gives me an excuse to head there again very soon read more

Went twice when in Elkhart. Once for supper (had the tenderloin) and a couple days later I met a couple friends there (I just had some carrot cake). Food was great and the service was exceptional (despite it being very crowded!) read more

Heinnie's Back Barn - Steakhouses Near Me - Elkhart, Indiana

After looking at the reviews we were excited to try it. My Wife said the Prime Rib was very good. Shrimp Dinner was just ok. Be careful when they ask if you would like your potato loaded $1.78 fee for that and .99 for each items you have on your salad Cheese, Bacon and egg. Should be told there is an add charge when ordering. read more

I was with a party of eight people and everything we ordered, from steak, prime rib, haddock, shrimp, burger, to hot ham and cheese, was absolutely delicious. The portion sizes were huge and everyone ended up taking half of their food home. We sat in the bar area where the atmosphere was laid back and relaxing. I would definitely go again and highly recommend this place. read more

`This is an excellent place to visit with family or friends. It is peaceful, family oriented, and NO music to assail the customers ears. No blaring televisions, either! Conversations are very easy to carry on. A very special mention I must make is that Angie is the best of the best! Dianna is second on this list. They can give as good as they take when it comes to teasing them. Ten Thumbs Up for both of them! I also like that one of the televisions carries PAWS tv. For us animal lovers this is yet another great attraction. Tell everybody that Mick Slater highly recommends Heinnies. Whoever he is. read more

Fun place. Casual, family friendly and busy. They don't take reservations except for large groups, so we waited a bit to be seated on a Friday night. We had a burger and a pork tenderloin sandwich; both were good. Servers are great and accommodate special requests with a smile. read more

If you're up in Northern Indiana near Goshen then stop by Heinnie's....and you may want to get there early because when we showed up at 4:30p on a Saturday night the wait was 60 minutes. It was worth the wait! We got on the list and then sat in our truck until GO time. One of their specialties is the fried chicken and it's fantastic! I grew up on a farm. Both my mom and grandma had their recipes of fixin' (yeah fixing') fried chicken so I know good fried chicken and this is awesome! The cup of house made chili was really good and the sampler platter for the appetizer was well done. Did I tell you the chicken was some of the best I've had? My kiddo had the pork tenderloin and it came out in true Indiana fashion, IYKYK. I had a sample of the half she couldn't eat and again, fantastic. For the four of us to have drinks (sodas), two beers, three entrees (2 split the chicken because it's half a chicken), two beers, soups, salads, and the sampler platter it all came to $102 including the tip. I tip well because I used to be a server, they did a great job, and I'm not cheap. ;-) BTW, we paid at the table as all the servers have the mobile devices for payment. Many simple things done very very well...especially the fried chicken. P.S. I hear the prime rib is especially good, but I'll have to save that for next time. read more

7/19/2024 Dinner Food: The food was not up to par. My loaded potato and ham & beens soup set too long and was warm instead of hot. My steak was poorly seasoned and not hot. Service: the place was crowded. We expected a wait. We went to the bar where the service and ambiance was very nice. We were seated in the dinning overflow area. We waited a long time even after we had been seated. Other people who were seated after us got waited on and served before us. Our waitress had on a supportive Trump shirt. Although her political views are her right and her business, it is inappropriate for business attire. The other waitress appeared to go out of her way not to even say hello is us. In fact, she was simply rude. Our experience was terrible. read more

We went here for the first time recently. We liked the ambience and our waitress was very friendly and helpful as we were newbies. We went on a day when the special was prime rib. It was well seasoned and tender. However, we didn't realize how expensive it would be, even when it was the special. So the final bill was a bit of a shock. So it won't be the place we visit often, That said, we understand that a lot of that isn't their fault, but the pricing of meat these days. read more

Very good food in a medium price range. Good service. They need to fix the odor in the bar area, the bathrooms are highly pungent.

The remodel is wonderful. I never knew the difference between a bar and a pub. The remodel has real pub vibes for me. The individual booths cut down on noise and you can hear . The food is always outstanding. I don't know anyone who makes baked potatoes so perfect. Our Prime rib was delicious. Great to come back to the new setting. read more

This place used to be really good at one time but it is really bad now!! My husband I had gotten cheeseburgers and they were the worst burgers that we have ever had, they were lacking in seasoning and the meat itself was awful! I would rather of had a Mcdonalds cheeseburger then that burger and it would of been a lot cheaper!! I won't ever come here again!!!! The only good thing was the waitress!! read more

I wanted to try somewhere local in Elkhart so I came here. It's very '70s Moose Club looking inside. There's a front bar and then the back barn. The service was incredibly fast. The steaks are wet aged and extremely juicy although I don't think they are using prime beef, This is a local, old school steakhouse. It's low cost but high on service. I would definitely repeat. read more

Dianna did a great job taking care of us. My girl and I both enjoyed everything about Heinnie's. The food was great the service was better. We ate early (about 4pm) and were glad we did, because before we finished the place was jammed up, busy. I will def return. read more

Best burgers & steak in town. Waitress and staff make you feel like family. Makes you feel like you are in the barn with your family.

Great food -- large portions! Worth the wait if there's a line, and they're usually pretty busy.

We were visiting from out of town and thought we would try this place. The menu online listed completely different prices than the menu in the restaurant. The prices were 50% higher on the items we were getting. So that was surprising. Our server was fantastic. Friendly and nice. That was the only positive. the quality of food was horrible! My daughters burger was a frozen burger from a box. It was so greasy and soggy that the buns fell apart she couldn't even eat it on the bun. As we left the restaurant we saw other people with burgers that had huge nice looking burgers and her burger was a piece of crap. I got the pork tenderloin which was breaded but the breading was horrible. It was heavy and thick and tons of pepper. The waitress said the fries were steak fries-- they are not. For her crappy burger, my horrible sandwich, and the fries, our bill was $30. Too much considering the poor quality of the food. Definitely will not be back! read more

Out of towner and popped in on a Friday night with a group. All of us had the same reaction to the service and food. Loved it! Not sure what they are known for but if I had to guess. I would say the prime rib and it did not disappoint. Service was great and we would definitely visit again next time in town. read more

Excellent Prime Rib. Wait staff are very attentive. Their dinner rolls are excellent.

Great food, awesome service . The filet was cooked to perfection, the loaded bake potato was over loaded, dinner salad was a meal alone. And, YES we will return for the prime rib. read more

Love this place. Never disappoints. The waitress and all staff are very good. Food is always as ordered.

Nice experience, great atmosphere, food and service. This place never disappoints. Great prime rib, steaks and cocktails! read more

Best Prime Rib anywhere! The prices are on the high side, but it's worth it! Downside is they don't take reservations and it's very noisy. They offer being seated in the bar area to wait for a table or you can opt to eat there in the bar. read more

Very good food and drinks! We stopped at this place two days in a row and were satisfied each time!!! Definitely recommend if you're in the area, our service was fast and very friendly. read more

Didn't know that I needed Heinnies in my life until I went met some friends here for dinner. All around solid meal. Steaks were solid and the side salad was good for a steakhouse. Nothing fancy, but sometimes who needs the fuss. read more

Decent food, decent service. Seems like all the locals eat here and know each other. We ordered steaks; my filet and his ribeye was less than spectacular and could have used some salt/pepper. The baked potato was hot and the salad was large. But for $75 + a tip seemed way too high... read more

My boyfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. We loved the food so much that we went back TWO nights in a row. My boyfriend is a cheese burger enthusiast and let us just say he ordered the exact things TWO days in a row and was just in love the second time as he was the first. I had the grilled shrimp one night and the breaded Haddock the second night and both meals were delicious. The next time we are in Elkhart, we promised ourselves we would return again. Not only was the food amazing but so was the customer service. read more

My wife and I had a phenomenal meal with friends. The food was fantastic, and the server was outstanding. My water glass was ever empty. I had a grilled pork chop with steak fries, and the pork chop was perfectly prepared. The cost of the meal was very reasonable. I definitely want to go back there again. read more

Good food, good service. Always a wait but worth it. I would just suggest more room the sit while waiting.

I love Hooters, butt I love me some Heinnie's even more. The owner is awesome and so is the food. Gotta go back soon. Thanks Troy.

Might be the best steak I have had in any town in quite a while. In town on business and a group of us went to this place around 8:45 at night. Not very busy that night so seated quick and drink orders taken. Had the NY strip which seemed larger than a 10oz and cooked perfectly, juicy and thick. Great steak fried and salad was good too. Will certainly come here again the next time I am in town. read more

Love stopping in here and grabbing a bite. Probably the best side salad in Elkhart too (if you get everything on it).
