The food was good. Had prime rib, was good, salty but I am particular about my beef. Service was great...friendly n knowledgeable about South Bend when your going to the game. Amanda gets five stars. Chowder good, n bake potato was great with horseradish sauce. Will recommend. read more

Excellent place with great steaks and a sportsbar atmosphere. They do have a dining area away from the bar and TVs. The 6 oz filet was perfect. read more

Hats off for Heinnie's Back Barn, had there grilled salmon dinner, it was the flagship of the stars, nestled in with a gorgeous baked potato, with a house salad, I have been around for a long time,this is the most amazing fresh seafood, I have ever eaten, grilled to perfection, (I miss you bill) "thank you for all your endeavors "you have a beautiful family" read more

We live in Elkhart but, looking for a good filet mignon, found Heinnie's on Yelp. Family dining is totally separate from the bar. Being "teetotalers" we like that. Dining room entrance is on east side with large paved and lighted parking lot in back. Enjoyed the privacy of high backed booth seating. Larger tables are available. Service was almost immediate and friendly with food arriving in 10 to 15 minutes. (We did arrive just before 6 PM. They were much busier later.) The Filet (Mignon) was delicious.with a slight smoked flavor. It was a different format, about 1 1/4 inches thick, 6+ ounces. We tried and it cut easily with a fork. The baked potato and garlic bread were also done right. An enjoyable meal! read more

My mouth waters just thinking about the food. This is just plain old awesome American food made the way you want in a relaxed atmosphere. The steaks are award winning and I love the Heinnie burger. read more

As usual Yelp did not let us down. We were wondering as we were going through the neighborhood of industrial properties of what type of restaurant we would find, but pulling into the full parking lot told us the Yelp high ratings must be true. All the food coming out of the kitchen looked plentiful and good. We enjoyed the deep fried haddock. The service maybe was a tad slow, but considering we were there at peak dining hours, it was acceptable. read more

Host staff service was quick and friendly. Server very personable and had great suggestions. Meal was hot and prompt. Fish dinner was generous and delicious. Love the hours of operation and the family feel...great atmosphere. read more

Forget Applebee's, this place is amazing. Sit at cowhide covered tables inside stalls that used to be for milking, or in the bar area with a NASCAR theme, select from a wide variety of beers, with several on tap, or cocktails, order charred salmon or filet mignon or a Heinnieburger, I'm coming back! read more

Heinnie's Back Barn - I helped this guy for sure! - Steakhouses Near Me - Elkhart, Indiana

The food was pretty good but the hair in my mushrooms was gross. However, the waitress kept saying it was a grill brush hair and got defensive and told us we should just go back in the kitchen and look for ourselves, and how no one has hair like that. Which I'm unsure how a "grill brush hair" would get in my bowl of mushrooms. Then finally she agreed that it was a hair. In the middle of our meal she told us that she was going to ruin our fun time... I don't know what that was supposed to mean. The food was great but the server could've acted more professional about the issue and the comment she made. I'm happy that the charge for the mushrooms was taken off my bill but it would've been nice for an apology. I would come back but not with that server. read more

My wife and I are on a short vacation. While traveling around we like to eat at local restaurants rather than chains. When we pulled into Heinnie's we saw that it was in a light industrial area. The parking lot was quite full though so we ventured inside. I had the New York strip steak. It came hot and was prepared perfectly. It was a good piece of meat and tasted great. I got the baked potato. It was also prepared good. My wife also got the strip steak. Hers was excellent as well. She had ice tea, but it was very weak and she switched beverages. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful. If I am ever in the area again I will probably stop back in! read more

We have been coming here for years to celebrate special occasions. Food is always delicious and staff if beyond wonderful. If you want to splurge on a tender Prime Rib Dinner this is the place. Don't be in a rush plan to wait 30 to 60 minutes; but well worth it. read more

Today was my 1st time there. It's close to work. I couldn't decide if I should have the BLT or the Fish sandwich!! I ordered both and glad I did. I took half and half home. Very good and will be back. I would like to try a Steak and also a salad! Friendly waitress who was on her game. Super nice. read more

I stopped by for lunch for my very first time. Bartender Troy provided me with great service. The buffalo burger I had was absolutely delicious. Fries if I put it honestly tasted like burnt plastic (yes I've tasted it). Tends to attract a more middle aged crowd. Another slight caveat is that it seemed like I'm the first minority to have ever stopped by (probably not) but it sure felt like it. Overall this is nice place and a very appropriate place for lunch. read more

Was working in the area and looking for a place still open for some late dinner. I have to say one of the best steaks I've had from a restaurant. Thursday night 10oz filet with Cajun seasoning special. Can't beat it. read more

I have been hearing about this place for a long time and decided to give it a go. Staff was friendly and attentive. The burgers were just okay in my opinion. I asked for a salad as well and we all had a bit of giggle when it arrived. It had a solid top layer of cheese across top. read more

Heinnie's is an excellent restaurant and Nice neighborhood bar, the servers are some of the best in the business. This place is rich in Elkhart history third generation family owned and Elkhart oldest liquor license. read more

I've had lunch a few times here. It's location is near my office and is a great respite from the usual fast food fair that surrounds it. The burgers are great and it is definitely an excellent place to stop for lunch rather than eating Burger King read more

Saturday night we went to Heinnie's and were a little disappointed. They had raised their prices, somewhat. Of course, this is to be expected. What really bothered us were two things: 1) There were no prices on the menu for steaks even though all other items had prices. It was like they were trying to hide something. 2) The Prices on the steaks were too high. We go to two other steak places and the prices for steaks are about half the cost and are just as good. read more

If you want to eat where the locals eat then this is the place. Great food in a small town bar atmosphere. Steaks, burgers and seafood were great. There is limited seating so plan on arriving before 6 or expect a wait, read more

Went there for my first time tonight and the food was excellent! Service was great and the food came out quickly. The servings are HUGE. Definitely worth the price. read more

I'm an Elkhart native... Heinnies is a local tradition. Give 'em a try... their food has been pretty good for YEARS. If you aren't happy with it... tell them. They'll make it right. They are carrying on a family tradition and will do what it takes to make sure you're happy. That's something to be proud of and as a customer... its something to come back for. read more

We got here between lunch and dinner. Dinner isn't served till 5:00 so we we were a little early for dinner . We decided to try the burgers. We were not disappointed. husband had The claybaugh but with only one pattie. Can't imagine it with two. it was so big he couldn't pick it up to eat it without wearing it. I had the chili burger and it was great. Homemade chili lots of meat melted cheese , it was awesome. Coleslaw was very good and fries were good size and looked hand cut. Want to try to come back for the steak. read more

The food is always good and the service is good also. A nice place to take friends and family. Good environment and good prime rib.

My family and have been going here for years and although the prices are high has been a good place....until. My wife ordered the fried chicken dinner, when it came out it was way over cooked. She tried to eat some of eat but it wasn't good. When she told the waitress that it was over cooked and asked if they could cook her new chicken the waitress immediately got an attitude and said "yeah, but it will be 20 minutes". Now I don't claim to be a chef but if you burnt someones food, you would think you could expedite it quicker since chicken takes less than 10 minutes in the pressure cooker. My wife just said no that's ok just take it off the bill. What aggravated me most was they messed up her dinner, but made sure she paid for her salad. I think it pretty low. read more

Wanted a quiet st down dinner. This place has a western decor that is getting a little old looking. Very noisy. Waiters too busy to stay on top of service. Food a bit disappointing. Ordered the 1/3 pound buffalo burger. No lettuce tomato or any expected toppings. Served on a tiny plate that made it seem even smaller. Burger was definitely not 1/3 pound. read more

I had the worst service ever. The waitress here are absolutely terrible . I have never been more disrespected in my life. I will not be eating here again . home wreckers work here read more

This place is great. The restaurant is very rustic and clean. The people are very friendly and personable. We are from out of town & were referred here by a local. When we arrived, we realized that we were here last year when passing through. Wife ordered haddock and I ordered the 16oz rib eye. Haddock was fried and enough for two people. Really good. Steak was cooked a perfect medium rare and was very flavorful. Also had sautéed mushrooms, small order. Small was a lot. We would go back. read more

We visited Heinnie's for the first time last week. It was delicious! The salads were very crisp and tasty. The steak was some of the best I've had and the baked potato was moist and flavorful. Another member in our party had the shrimp and thought it was good too. We had a cheerful waitress, even thought it was an obviously busy evening. read more

Sammi the server waited on us, what a shiny spectacular personality. We had the incredible prime rib and filet mignon sooooooooooooooooo fantastic!! The baked potatoe was the best! And make sure you get the horse radish sauce. I could eat it without the meat! So yummy. I'm speechless . read more

Steaks are OK (could use some seasoning), but try the taco stix appetizer...love it!

We went to the back barn first time for me. I have been in the bar and ordered takeout for forever it seems. So I wasn't sure what to expect. It was very clean, I liked that we sat in a "stall". The appetizers were extra yummy we had potato wedges that were covered in cheese and bacon. And a sampler platter work jalapeno poppers mozzarella sticks and onion rings. They were all very tasty I had the pork tenderloin and Joe has me prime rib the Clydesdale prime rib which was huge and he said it was absolutely wonderful. My grandson had a hamburger my daughter had a hamburger and my son in law had a steak everybody was very pleased with their meal. I would recommend this restaurant to anybody it's a great place to eat with great food and a good history as part of the community read more

A great local place. The service is fast and friendly and the food is very very good. The value for the price is fantastic. Im guessing this is a family-owned restaurant. Will definitely return each time I'm in Elkhart. read more

I wasn't in the Back Barn, but I did sit at the front bar for lunch. Found it on Yelp while I was down the street on business. I had the double cheeseburger and house salad and it was great. Service was perfect and the prices are fair. read more

This place was great !!! I used yelp for the first time and located this restaurant. the service was excellent and the food was amazing I would highly recommend them. read more

This was the best prime rib i have ever ate! The atmosphere was awesome..has a western feel. We will definitely be back!

My husband and I ate here while in town based on yelp reviews. We were not disappointed. He had the 6oz steak with loaded potato and I had the black n bleu burger with a fries and coleslaw. We were both pleased. The shrimp cocktail was good with just right amount of kick in the sauce. I liked how the individual booths were Sectioned off offering privacy. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Would recommend. read more

LOVE THIS RESTAURANT!!! Food is amazing, atmosphere is nice, casual and quiet. Service is excellent! Would recommend highly!

We called ahead at 6pm and were told it was an hour wait for us and our 3 children. We arrived at 6:30 and checked in at 6:50 when the (very rude) hostess finally made an appearance. She informed us it would be another hour. According to her your wait doesn't start until you are actually checked in. A little after 8pm were finally seated. They we were out of prime rib (the reason we came) by then but being that we had 3 kids to get fed it was too late to go somewhere else. Our waitress was very nice but the food was just ok, definitely not worth the wait. read more
