Ownership is super kind and hands-on, husband and wife. We were passing through town on Motorcycles and this place caught our eye, on the corner. Seemed like a nice place Went in, saddled up to the bar, got some food and drinks. Place is very nice. Menu has a lot to choose from. The Ahi Tuna bowl was the best. Highly recommend. The wings are smoked and done in a different way than anticipated. Some will like it, some may not. Overall, we'd come back to try other things, when back in the area. read more

Heritage Restaurant - American Near Me - Shamokin, Pennsylvania

IMHO, base upon my experience there in July, I can't imagine this place getting anything less than 4 stars. I'm giving it all 5 stars because the experience was that good. The only problem with this place is its distance from my house. If it was closer I'd be there on a weekly basis. The ambiance is historic with tall ceilings, period embellishments and decoration, and comfy seating. We were greeted quickly and the service was amazing. We had the opportunity to speak with one of the owners. He gave us some of the history and we were happy to let him know how much we liked the food, service, and ambiance. The duck fat fries are some of the best food I have ever eaten. A creative combination of salty, sour, umami, crispy, spicy, herby, etc. It's $10 and worth every single penny. So good. I would honestly eat two of them and call it a meal. Not kidding. They are that tasty. I would LOVE to know the secret to their pickled fennel seed thing. I don't know how they do it but I crave that flavor. Hubby had the heritage burger for $14 and he absolutely loved it. It's a patty with brisket and chuck and it's smashing. With the onion straws and the garlic aioli (plus other things) it's a great flavor combination. So good and it comes with more of the duck fat fries (win-win). I tried the Polish Flatbread because I had never seen anything like it at any other restaurant. The combination sounds odd but the flavors marry quite well. Polish flat bread: smoked kielbasa, mozzarella, pork belly, pepperoncini peppers and garlic aioli over a nice, bright tomato sauce. So yummy. I have to be honest. When it arrived at the table, I thought to myself, "that's it?" But once you taste it, you appreciate the amalgamation of flavors. The chef, Erik, is from the city and he needs to be bronzed because he has that ability to creatively combine unique flavors to create really special dishes. We weren't drinking anything other than water, but the cocktails look really good. So, cheers to the mixologist, the chef, and the owner for making this a top-notch location. They have outdoor seating that I'd love to try now that the weather is cooling. This is a two-thumbs way up place to eat. I am currently looking for excuses to be in that neck of the woods just so I can revisit this restaurant. For the record, it was our first time in that city and we tried to eat at several other places and couldn't because they were closed (at that time), closed (permanently), or had nowhere to park. So we expanded our search zone in Yelp and found this place. One of the best "where are we going to eat?" happy accidents we've ever had. read more

Awesome service and wonderful food especially all of the fried food was cooked in lard instead of seed oils. You can also upgrade your fry order with duck fat which adds to the flavor of the French fries! read more

What a great find! Me and my family are traveling for business and while I was looking for somewhere to eat I came across this place! Tia was our waitress and she was very welcoming and helpful! The food was really delicious and came out quickly! We had the duck fat fries, I had the spicy scallop linguine, and my parents had the fish&chips and the ribeye! We all really enjoyed our meal and would recommend it to anyone in the area :) it's got a great cozy but upscale feel that makes it special and inviting. We also had cheesecake and it was light and fluffy. Not the heavy kind that makes you feel sick! Very good! read more

The drinks were the only reason for two stars. The pretzel was still frozen when they served it and the entrees were just fine. The servers were loudly joking around and speaking inappropriately and my drinks were simply never refilled. The owner came to introduce himself at the worst time and talked to us while our food got cold. Just not the ambiance I expected with all their 'upscale and fresh food' claims. read more

A truly amazing experience. Food, ambience, attentiveness to detail, creativity, front/back of the house, serving... it's all exceptional! read more

Heritage Restaurant - Delmonico steak, scalloped potatoes, and roasted Brussel sprouts-- very very good!! - American Near Me - Shamokin, Pennsylvania

We stopped here for a late lunch while passing through. The place itself is really nice inside - it has a beautiful decor. The menu seemed really appealing as we were ordering. Unfortunately, our experience wasn't great. Our biggest complaint was that the food took way too long to arrive - around 45 minutes - which when you have two hungry kids, wasn't a good thing! The food itself was mixed. The grilled chicken wrap and chicken tenders received great reviews. I had the chili and didn't enjoy it at all - maybe I just wasn't familiar with that style of chili. Another had the steak bowl and said it was just ok. The place had such potential, but we left disappointed. read more

I recently had dinner at The Heritage Restaurant in Shamokin and it was amazing! The food exceeded all of my expectations. I had the fish and chips and it was delicious. The best I've ever had. The breading was so crispy with the perfect amount of crunch and the fish was tender, moist and so flavorful. And the fries were awesome too! We also got the Pulled Pork Nachos and the Duck Fat Fries and let me tell you they were so so good! Better than any nachos anywhere. The pulled pork and homemade bbq sauce had such a great taste we finished it all! The fries packed with so much umami (I wasn't quite sure what this word meant until I had these fries) and richness they were hard to put down. I also tried some of the Fried Chicken Sandwich and it was also amazing! The chicken thighs were so juicy and the sauce was perfect. Again, probably the best chicken sandwich I've ever had, and I've had a lot. The restaurant itself was very nice and rustic with an upscale feel. A beautiful decor filled with signs and memorabilia of past tenants and local favorites. And the service was prompt and friendly, which is rare these days. I swear I could have been eating in one of those trendy restaurants you'd find in a large city like Philly or NYC or on a food show. I highly recommend The Heritage Restaurant. Their menu recently changed, which it does seasonly, and I can't wait to try their new offerings. read more

I wanted to like this place. I hate eating in the coal region when I visit my parents. This place seemed like it would be a great new restaurant and a breath of fresh air in this dilapidated area. I want start by letting you know our food took close to TWO HOURS to come out to us. Multiple tables (who arrived WELL after we did) had gotten their food before we were served anything. Our waitress checked on us once in this timeframe. I would go into further detail but I really want to get into the how the food was. This place is disgusting. It is a pathetic excuse for a restaurant that made me sick as soon as I walked out the door. I didn't eat more than two bites of each part of my meal and my stomach was in shambles. What I ordered... "Cedar Plank Salmon, Garlic butter sautéed mushrooms, and Mac and cheese(because I heard this specifically was good from here)" What I got... I don't even know how to comment on the cedar plank salmon. Have the cooks at this place ever eaten any food flavored with wood? I HIGHLY doubt they could have. Why? They smothered this fish in the most unappetizing slop I've ever eaten. It wasn't the way a real restaurant would approach the same meal. Maybe a dry rub and some lemon and butter? No... A coating of sauce that caramelizes as the salmon cooks to create a savory layer to the flaky fish? No... They flavored it with something that tasted like chinese duck sauce and red pepper flakes. Through the horrible sauce you got the piercing bite of gamy salmon. If that wasn't enough once I scrapped away the mound of sauce I revealed the true color of this prime cut of fish. The grayish pink flesh of this "locally sourced" salmon. Where Did you source it? The Walmart in coal township? The salmon was pathetic. You should be ashamed of serving it to a paying customer. Next is the "Mac and cheese". How dare you do this to Mac and cheese... Again, you should be ashamed. There was no real taste of cheese and looked and tasted like maybe ketchup was in it? What in the world is wrong with you people?! Seriously? What the heck are you doing? I have nothing else I could possibly say. It was so bad you offended me. Your Mac and Cheese is SO TERRIBLE that I feel disrespected by it. MOVING ON! Lastly the mushrooms... Soggy garlic mushrooms that had absolutely no depth in flavor. The person cooking them had no clue how to prepare a mushroom and didn't let the moisture cook out while they sautéed them. The result? I wet mess I was served. They were covered in butter and garlic but tasted only like mushroom because they didn't let them actually absorb the VERY simple flavors they chose to use. This should have been a cakewalk. It was a travesty. I deserve every penny of my money back. I am sure that won't happen but hopefully someone choosing not to eat at this place because of the review will give me a bit of satisfaction. read more

Heritage Restaurant - Danielle, the bartender is an excellent mixologist! - American Near Me - Shamokin, Pennsylvania

If you squint you will be able to see the very beginnings of a fragile rebound. Shamokin, a city on life support at best is starting to stir a bit, and it's because of dedicated citizens putting their money where their mouth is. Heritage is a very nice restaurant that celebrates, you guessed it, our local heritage. My family ate there for the first time last night and we were blown away by the work put into what was a pretty dilapidated building. The food was excellent and the service was good. One of the knocks seems to be prices. I didn't find anything expensive for what it is. The prices are quite fair for what you're ordering. It's not fast food or bar prices, but it's not fast food or bar food. By the time you pack up the car and drive to Selinsgrove for Applebee's you would save money by keeping it local. The work put into this place, the unique food and drink menu, and the faith the owners put in the local community to support them makes Heritage a must visit. read more

The Heritage Restaurant is Shamokin's best by far. You won't find several menu items anywhere else in the area. A must try.

The food and service was top notch! The atmosphere was very interesting and very welcoming! It was a very nice experience! read more

Our trip to see the leaves changing brought us here, came for lunch and my wife ordered a chicken coous coous salad and loved it, I ordered the shrimp and frys platter, their crunchy frys are really good, the shrimp had a funny taste and were hard , to hard to eat, I told the waitress and the cook was out in a minute to apologize and wanted to know if I wanted anything else, I ordered a hamburger, while we were waiting he brought out 6 large shrimp, and they were the best shrimp I have ever had, they called them bang bang shrimp, with in a few minutes my hamburger arrives and was very good also, the staff was wonderful, the place was clean and the atmosphere was nice and historic. Would I return? Ooohhh yes, and remember Bang bang shrimp.. read more

What a great place with people who seem to be putting their heart and soul into their offerings. The inside looked very nice as I walked through to the patio and btw the bathroom was charming. I enjoyed a drink on the patio while awaiting my pigeon dinner (stuffed cabbage). I chose a baked potato and Brussels sprouts instead of asparagus for my sides. Was nice of them to allow me the substitution for no additional charge. The portion size was wonderful & the food better than expected!! They weren't very busy when I was there, on a Friday night. They are a little spendier than an average place but truly worth it.. The staff was friendly and attentive!! Go check out this place and enjoy the creative things on their menu!! I hear the meatloaf is pretty amazing!! Hoping to return there soon to try it for myself ~ read more

10/10 will be coming back. If your riding in aoaa and need a spot to grab some food give this place a try. Food and drinks are great, service is great. Wish I took pictures of the food but will next time. Pulled pork egg rolls were awesome and the mozzarella bricks. Meatloaf was outstanding I would come back for this alone. Support this local spot! read more

Live music. Great food. Unique choices. Full bar, with excellent speciality cocktails. Indoor and outdoor. Great atmosphere. On two floors.

I had the pierogi's and french onion soup. It was delicious and the staff was personable. Really good food and our waitress was awesome. I luv the ambiance and photos that remind me of my childhood and even further back before my time. A little expensive for this area but overall a great experience. read more

Appetizers were pretty good, thats it. I went for my friends birthday. Ice cream was freezer burnt. Waiter told us staff ate one of our meals. They "burnt the gnocchi" - waiter. which how the fu** do you do that??? Polish flat bread looked like it came out of a easy bake oven and a 6 year old made it. Burgers were burnt. Philly cheese steak wrap was pretty satisfying. But overall half the stuff was low key inedible. Server was one most honest people i have ever met and was the only thing that made it kinda funny. But seriously this place is a joke. (Cool bathroom art though) read more

Excellent place in this small town. The Ruben Egg Rolls are insane. Tenderloin burger was perfect. Beer was ice cold. Service by Tai was excellent. Great place, especially for ATV crowd, you can ride right down the mountain from AOAA into town. Highly recommend. read more

This place was more than awesome. Can't wait to go again. Food was excellent. Very fine dining. Reasonable prices too. Staff was very friendly. Can't say enough good stuff about this place. We started off with fried chicken skins for appetizers. Never heard of them before, but was very surprised and delighted. They were drizzled with hot sauce and honey. Next time I plan on getting the chicken pot pie rolls. For entrees we had the grilled meat loaf with stout gravy and mashed potatoes. And I had the chicken thighs atop potato cubes with a cream sauce. Both entrees were outstanding. We finished the meal off with a slice of pecan pie. As we had anticipated, it was delicious as well. Not real sweet like you would have thought. Just perfect. read more

Traveling through town and this small town restaurant was AMAZING!!!!! Customer service was wondering and the FOOD, Just WOW! Solid win and VERY unexpected! Thank you Heritage Restaurant! read more

This is a great restaurant! The service is fantastic with very friendly servers. The building is remarkable which has been remodeled with a huge conservation effort. From saving the original tin ceiling tiles, the bay windows and the wood floors to incorporating a reclaimed brick wall from a burned down turn of the century building, the result is an inviting and very tasteful design! The food however is the star of the show with both unique and time proven plates. For the unique, the Bao Buns are delicious and very well executed. The steak chili is awesome and hits the mark! The Heritage Burger is simply the best burger I have had in a long time. Juicy, perfectly cooked as ordered and a fantastic bun with the special sauce. I was pleasantly surprised finding this gem, which would easily do well in culinary cities like New York or LA, but I'm glad it's in the town of Shamokin, PA. read more

We made a reservation as a big group - they sat us at a long table upstairs, which was ready when we got there. Our entrees took over an hour to come out (and had to ask for an update after an hour), but we gave them some benefit of the doubt since it was a big group. A good number of us had ordered the Heritage Hot Chicken Sandwich, and what a dumpster fire those were. The skin on the meat was wet and gunky, kind of how food can get when you stick it in the microwave; it was also devoid of spice/seasoning. It was just a regular chicken sandwich, except a mediocre one at that. Then, to add insult to injury, the french fries we paid the additional charge for were, as someone in our group put it, "half raw potatoes." Quite disappointing to get sad fries on top of it all. As another reviewer said, this place is a bit pricey for the area. So I'd say if you're coming with more than a couple of people, consider going somewhere else. read more

Food is very bland. I wanted to like this place, but three strikes and your out for me!

Disappointing. For the price you are paying, the food should be somewhat decent. Ordered the shrimp scampi which was essentially plain cardboard pasta sitting over a soup of garlic and wine. The two sides I ordered came out soggy and tasted microwaved. Better off going to OIP or Two Guys for a quality meal at much better price. read more

I grew up here and graduated from Shamokin and now manage restaurants in San Francisco. I was visiting my parents this week and Heritage was open on a Wednesday for Cinco de Mayo. Not only were they open for a bonus day, they bravely rose to the occasion with an entire Mexican menu. As a fan of Mexican food from the second-most authentic Mexican food (California), I was a tad worried that I'd feel snobby and find faults. Our party of four ordered five mains and we were beyond impressed with every dish. I'm so happy Shamokin has a restaurant like this to raise the bar and challenge competitors. I forgot to grab our servers' name but she was a rockstar. Attentive, sweet, and accurate (we modified some things). Good job to all. Bravo read more

I just had a very rude encounter with Brandon, a manager there. Based on his rudeness alone, I would not recommend going here.

Amazing pan fried pierogies! Thank heavens I ordered them or this would be a one star review. The haddock, sadly, was absolutely inedible. It was like eating a soggy piece of garlic. I don't think I've ever had anything that bad in my life. You really need to take this off the menu and come up with a better fish dish. I can't stress how insanely bad it was. You put some much care into the restoration (beautiful)...please take as much care with the menu. Fish parm or even fish (seasoned beer batter) and chips might hide the frozen fish in a more acceptable way, rather than overwhelming customers with garlic. read more

They just opened this past week. Had a lot of different mixed drinks and bar. We sat upstairs. Had a pear martini, the jambalaya and crab bread. Would definitely recommend. read more

I used to love this place but after this past weekend the service and taste of meals have gone downhill.. come to find out a new chef the old chef used to come out ask how food was and everything was delicious.. we used to go here often let's just say this will be last time here. read more

First time here. Building is very nicely remodeled. Like the large open feel of the place however the service and the food was terrible. We ordered sandwiches at 6:00 and the place was not very full. We waited over an hour to get them. Menu does not go into great detail as to what is on sandwiches. Chicken sandwich was so spicy I couldn't eat it. Manager came and apologized and comped us a dessert. If I could post a pic of the dessert, it would be a joke. It was the corner piece of a cinnamon coffee cake that was over baked. Ordered an appetizer and it took forever for that to come out. Took a few bites and couldn't eat the rest. The oil that it was cooked in should have been changed a week ago. Sorry to give a bad review but you know what they say about first impressions. Won't be returning here!! read more

I went with my friend and ordered the heritage burger with fries and the mac and cheese. The mac and cheese was ok but the burger was HORRENDOUS. Easily the worst burger ive ever had in my life. it tasted like a frozen patty that was in the freezer for a little too long, Like a few centuries too long.. I wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy, It reminded me of that creepy krabby patty that spongebob served to the food inspector who almost died afterwords, it was THAT. BAD. A positive side note is that If someone ever does me wrong in life i know exactly how to get them back.. ill tell them to go here and GET THE HERITAGE BURGER! :) read more

Delicious food, friendly service and great atmosphere. The whole experience was so enjoyable; I'll definitely be going back again soon!

Went for the first time this past weekend. Thought the lower part of the restaurant was very nice but we unfortunately sat upstairs. Tables upstairs looked like they were from a sub shop so was not impressed. They also didn't have a draft menu which we were disappointed about. Food was okay. We got the meatloaf and spaghetti. Spaghetti was way too spicy, would never get again. Not sure if we will come back as of yet. A lot of work clearly needs to go into this restaurant. read more

The worst food and service. I had the Greek chicken salad. The chicken was like rubber, the couscous was in clumps, and it had so much dressing on it was like soup. We got our food then had to wait for utincles, napkins and salt and pepper. They did take it off my bill but I went home hungry. read more

This was our first visit to this restaurant but certainly not our last! The server was so friendly and the food was great. The Shamokin memorabilia was so fun to look at and made our experience here even more enjoyable with a walk down memory lane. read more
