    Food was amazing. I had the chicken fried steak, fresh vegetables, mashed potatoes, garlic bread. Absolutely wonderful. Friendly service.

    BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger
    Ariyana J.

    My family have been treating me out to lunch lately. (My mental health thanks them!) My mom and I were hungry so I drove us to Perko's! This was my first time eating at Perko's but not my mom's. I ordered a BBQ bacon cheeseburger w/fries. My mom ordered a club sandwich with sweet potato fries. She also ordered us a banana split that I forgot to take a picture of! Overall, the food was amazing! Great portion sizes. The service from our waitress was excellent as well. She was fast and efficient. (Can't remember her name.) The restaurant has plenty of seating and a homey vibe that I loved. Hopefully I'll be back soon for more yummy food!

    Went to have breakfast at Perko's and was greeted by host who sat us at a booth. Table was clean and had condiments on the side(hot sauce,jams and sweet n low). Our server was very courteous and friendly. Food was delicious and good sized portions as well. I would definitely recommend!!

    Another great meal they do not disappoint. When we decide to go out This is our breakfast lunch and dinner spot. The service is amazing as always. The chicken bbq wrap is a secret menu Chris suggested and it did not disappoint.

    Always great service and delicious food! Family owned establishment, familiar faces (staff) makes it even cozier.

    Service was great. Waitress was very attentive and asked multiple times if we needed anything else…read more Food was great. We tried a new hot honey pizza. Spicy and sweet at the same time. Mozzarella sticks are always a must. We got the mango habanero wings and those were also spicy and sweet. Everything was a 10/10 The lady marmalade is a must try if you like a sweet savory seltzer.

She didn't get any of the orders wrong, was quick to wait on people and. Lean up after them. She gave great explanations of specials and really was quite welcoming and a believer in the beverages and food items sold. 5/5 rating for customer service!! The food was typical bar fare for me. But she made it taste better! I will say whoever was frying the food not only had the perfect temp on the fried food choices but also perfect timing. Everything was super crunchy and perfectly salty! This is hard to do, definitely wasn't expected at all place like this!!! Perfectly frying and salting food 5/5 She recommended the pomegranate beer and it was delicious!! It was crisp, floral, lightly sweet, bubbly and everything she promised it would be!! We ordered several items to share. All items ordered were based off her recommendation.. Wings: Fried to perfect texture.. flavor was ok.. the texture made them taste better!!!!! Fries: perfectly crispy on the outside stood up to both time and being dipped while remaining crunchy!! Perfectly salted also! Nothing sucks more than getting a fry that isn't salted! Italian nachos: we were all hesitant about this order. The pesto was a perfect addition it it was actually delicious! I've made this at home since!! Would I return? Her customer service knocked it out of the park for me! The place was incredibly busy and she multitasks like no other! She didn't forget a single thing, was hustling and kept the place very clean all by herself! The perfect fry for average flavor food made it better!!! HELL YES!!

    Honest Review The…read morefood was honestly pretty mid. The pasta tasted mid and was a little disgusting, and it didn't really have much flavor. The burger was okay but definitely overcooked and not very juicy. It was missing some flavor. The garlic fries were probably the best thing we ordered. The hibiscus lemonade was decent, and the mocktail we got was actually really good. As for the service, some of the staff were really nice and welcoming, but I did feel a little uncomfortable toward the end. When I asked if I could pay with cash instead of card, I got the impression that the person seating us assumed I was going to leave a tip and seemed disappointed when I clarified that I was just paying cash. I also felt like some of the servers were giving us an attitude afterward because we didn't tip. Overall, tipping is a personal choice, and I don't think customers should feel judged or pressured because of it. Some of the staff were genuinely kind, but unfortunately the food and the experience weren't enough for me to want to come back.

    Sometimes you go to a restaurant and the food is the star. Sometimes it's the atmosphere. And then…read morethere are places like Heirloom, where you realize the entire experience has been thoughtfully put together. We sat at the bar on a busy Thursday in Fresno, and honestly, I highly recommend doing the same. This is a quick-service-style restaurant where you can wait in line to order and then be seated, but snagging a seat at the bar gives you a completely different perspective on the experience. Aaron and Johnny were an absolute dream team. If you're there on a Wednesday or Thursday, look for these two. When they told us to "sit back and relax," they actually meant it. We didn't want for a thing. Water stayed full, we were consistently checked on without ever feeling hovered over, and their food recommendations were some of the best restaurant suggestions we've had in a while. And that last part is important... the suggestions weren't just upsells, but instead they were thoughtful and intentional recommendations that genuinely complemented what we were ordering. You could tell they weren't just trying to add another item to the ticket but were really were trying to make our meal better. That kind of service is becoming very rare, especially in a quick-service setting. Meanwhile, the restaurant itself had that great something's happening here energy. Busy, lively, people coming and going, the bar buzzy. This is exactly the kind of place you want to stumble into on a Thursday night in Fresno. Heirloom gets balance. It is casual enough to feel approachable, but intentional enough that you leave feeling like someone actually cared about your experience. And with Aaron and Johnny behind the bar? Sit back. Relax. Let them take it from there. (Side note, I believe it is Johnny but might be John, I know for sure if you are manager of this place you know who I am talking about!)

    Stopped here on our way to visit a loved one and tried a variety of items. We ordered chilaquiles,…read moretwo kids meals (mac and cheese, and a corn dog with fries), and pigs in a blanket breakfast. The chilaquiles weren't spicy more like chips with salsa and ended up being pretty bland with light salsa. However, the country potatoes were really good and definitely a highlight. The pigs in a blanket were also tasty, and the hashbrowns were perfectly browned. The kids enjoyed their meals, although the corn dog was a little overcooked on the outside and slightly undercooked on the inside. Service was great, our waitress was attentive and kind throughout our visit. The only other downside was the coffee, which tasted a bit watered down or just not very strong. Overall, it was a good experience, and I'd come back to try different items.
