I truly can't say anything bad about this place. The food is always good. The waiter/waitresses are awesome. The prices are reasonable. I just wish Heritage Family Pantry served coca cola instead of pepsi (my preference). Also, you must try their home made bread, its super delicious.
Feels like your good old family restaurant. The food was great and the service was fantastic. This is one of those diners you can visit every week for 10 years and feel like it’s the same place you’ve always been to. It’s mostly a breakfast spot it seems but they have good lunch options as well.
A casual dining that u can enjoy good food and have a good time, staff is very friendly, it seems they have their frequent customers, very casual and welcoming. Toast is made there, u should try! Lots of variety, serve very hot, big portion. Free parking at the back.
Everything was amazing. I did not have to wait to be seated. I placed my order, and it felt like my food came out within 5 to 10 minutes. It was fast. The food was perfect. The pan cakes had great flavor. The gas was cooked the way I do my eggs at home. I have no complaints. Thank you
It was Labor Day, and almost everything was closed, but this spot was open—and wow, are we glad we found it! We were in the mood for breakfast burritos, did a quick search, and decided to give them a try. Before heading over, we called to check if they were open, and not only were they open, they even let us put our name on the list ahead of time (love when places do that!). When we arrived, we were seated quickly. Our waitress was clearly busy, but she still managed to be attentive and friendly, which we really appreciated. I ordered the bacon breakfast quesadilla—never thought about quesadillas in a breakfast style before, but it was packed with flavor and absolutely delicious. Sergio had the wet burrito with chorizo, and since he’s picky about chorizo, he was impressed enough to give it an A+ (that’s saying something!). Being new to the area, we’ve been on the hunt for go-to breakfast spots, and this one officially made our list. Great food, great service, and open on a holiday when no one else was—highly recommend giving them a try! PS I forgot to add they have great coffee
