Great place for a quality meal. Greeters and wait staff are always pleasant and happy to help. Love the French onion soup, excellent burgers, prime rib to die for. I have never been disappointed there yet. Highly recommend. read more

I place an order to be delivered for 430pm the food never showed up. I called them at 505 pm n they just sent it out then. This is bullshit. My food was ice cold and I should not be charged for this inconvenience. If something is ordered for a certain time that's when it should arrive not an hr or so later. Not happy with this service. read more

Excellent food and great service.Soups are especially tasty,and burgers are good size and satisfying .Early bird specials have a good variety of selections to choose from read more

My church was down the road on retreat and we wanted to have a bite when we first arrived. This was only a 1/2 mile down the road and hard to find since it's in a large plaza. There was ample parking. This is a very simple diner with simple food but it was just what we were looking for. We both ordered Manhattan Clam Chowder which I think was homemade, I enjoyed it. I followed it with the coconut chicken breast, baked potato and vegetables. The chicken was tasty, the potato seemed microwaved but it was edible but the vegetables were awful soggy soft and just disintegrated in your mouth. My friend had the balsamic chicken, it was edible. The chicken was fine but no balsamic flavor I could pick up. It was topped with spinach and mozzarella which she said made it extremely watery. Her fries were delicious though but the vegetables were just as bad as mine. She enjoyed the rice pudding for dessert and I the red jello. Our waiter was very very sweet. This is a small town without a ton of options for restaurants so this is a clean pretty good place to grab a bite if your in the area. Ps they have free refills on soda just a note read more

Used to be our go to place when visiting the in laws. The food was good for a diner style restaurant. They understood the clientele and provided vegetables they could eat , lots of hot coffee and a three course meal . It has become a place we avoid . The last three visits ( kept giving them a second chance ) were inedible. The food was sent back because it was either the wrong order or under/ over cooked. If you have your taste buds still working avoid the Heritage. read more

The food here is very good, large portions, and well worth the price. They offer daily early bird, lunch and dinner specials. A huge menu- breakfast, starters, salads, wraps, soups, sandwiches, steaks, classics,  comfort food, and the desserts yummy. The staff are friendly  remembering their customers and we only visit several times a year. They honor our fallen military with a table set for them when you enter. A military discount and catering. Reading other reviews the Heritage caters to their clientele who are mostly older being they are located in the middle of 55 and up community mecca. read more

Barnegat Bay Benedict with a crab cake and the other Sunday breakfast specials are amazing..

Too many issues to go back to this place although it is very close to where I live. Pancakes are my test. They tasted of meat grease so clearly the grill is not being cleaned between foods. And the water is undrinkable. They need to filter the table water better. A lemon might disguise the bad taste but my tap water does not taste as bad as theirs so I have no idea what their problem might be. The wait staff is very nice but the food is not. read more

Back here again, good local place with great food service and prices, y'all come. Here for the 5 th time all meals great. read more

The Heritage Restaurant - New American Near Me - Whiting, New Jersey

Service and food have gotten worst. I think their menu is too big. That's a tipoff that the food can't be fresh. Thus sacrificing taste. Prices have gone up. But the taste is way bellow a diner. I used to call a burger or sandwich for pickup. But the cashier tells me they're too busy when I call. I think they just want me in for the tip. I wish they get it together. For its a convenient stop for us. Would hate to see them go out like so many others. And it's a family business that's been there a long time. read more

I had a very good meal but the girl did not keep up with our drinks had to keep on getting up and asking for more ice and another drink. Then there was another party in there and they were short on staff waiting on us at the meal was wonderful was a California hamburger. read more

What a wonderful restaurant and server. We had a turkey open faced platter and a chicken sandwich. The platter came with a side salad and I got the homemade thousand island salad dressing which was delicious. The serving sizes were enormous and we brought home our lunch for tomorrow. read more

We've lived in the area for a little over a year & have gone to The Heritage Restaurant quite a few times and have never been disappointed! Breakfast choices are many & all are delicious. Lunch & dinner menu items are also plentiful & great portions. Servers are all friendly, professional and accommodating! Food is like home cooking. You will not regret trying this restaurant! read more

My favorite local restaurant. Service has always been great, prices are reasonable. Great burgers, try the prime rib, shrimp in the basket and excellent sandwiches and salades, a meal in itself a bowl of French onion soup. I have never had to wait for seating. Seating in the patio, ask for table seating. Great for one, two or many. You really can't go wrong for a good snack, sandwich or dinner here. I highly recommend visiting here often. Enjoy. read more

Went to visit friends that live in area. They suggest this place. What a great place! Nothing fancy just good, hot wholesome food. If you are a senior, you really luck out . For just over $11.00 you can order off the senior menu and get a appetizer, entree and dessert . The entrees are large and portions and delicious .No skimping here. Service was prompt and courteous . I heard breakfast is even better. Will definitely return again. read more

Home fries are great. Make a good pork roll egg and cheese and french toast was delish. Happy they continue to stay open.

This is a nice and cozy family style diner that we love to go to for weekend breakfast or weekly dinners with my wife. The food is always of a great quality and the prices are moderate and fare. We enjoy this restaurant a lot. read more

Yesterday, April 28, 2019, a neighbor and I went to have a late lunch/early diner. For me it was the first time since The Heritage Restaurant took over, and for my neighbor it was one of their several visits, takeouts, and deliveries. My neighbor kept telling me many times to check out this place, but never did. Let me tell you, this is the best place to eat, service was fantastic, better than other any other places, the food was delicious, portions of food fantastic, (enough for next day's meal). The prices are affordable for the amount of food one gets. Also, if you are a Senior, their menu is made out to accommodate. I definitely will take my visitors here, use their takeout service, as well as call for delivery from time to time. If you live in Whiting, NJ and have not visited The Heritage Restaurant, do visit asap, don't miss out! Anyone, traveling through Whiting, NJ, please stop in, you won't be disappointed! read more

This diner is the best one I've found in this area. Yes, there are a lot of seniors, but they have great waffles, and when they say they have "fresh fruit" it is actually fresh fruit as opposed to that stuff you get in a can or jar covered in syrup. If they run out of it, then that's it. Which is the way it should be if you want good food. Great omelettes, home fries, all the breakfast stuff. Crispy bacon. Good coffee. Friendly and timely service. Great place. So happy it is here as the other places I've been since I've moved here have been pretty disappointing. Looking forward to trying some of their other menu items. read more

We went out for breakfast this morning, they were quite busy, and we were seated at a table in the front area. There were people who had finished eating, but were sitting with coffee talking. We were served rather quickly. My companion finished first, and was drinking his coffee, I was still eating, the waiter came by and asked if we wanted more coffee..........we said "no". The waiter reached over me picked up my plate with half my breakfast still on it along with my companions empty plate.....and left the check! We paid the bill and left......we will not be going back, as the people who were sitting and chatting over coffee when we got there were still sitting at their table along with two other tables just chatting. I feel we were rushed out of there because they needed a table............before I had even finished eating!!!!!! read more

Food was great, stuffed grouper and penne ala vodka w/chicken! Portions were on the large side. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Brian the owner made sure we were happy through out the meal. I will definitely come back!!!' Jenna our server was spot on! read more

Wasn't really impressed. First they got the order wrong, french toast instead of pancakes. I ate them as the wife waited for her pancakes. Mine was kinda mushy, tasted ok, the pancakes were not cooked in the center. Take the trip to Sandy's read more

We went for breakfast when visiting a friend. The food was great and the service speedy and friendly. We had an assortment of items chicken fried steak and eggs, corned beef hash and eggs, heritage breakfast, and Belgian waffles- all yummy! read more

DON'T EAT HERE. I don't understand some of these reviews here. I think wait staff is great , but the food is horrible . I understand that there are not to many place in this area to eat. They basically take FULL advantage of the elder in the area,( even have home delivery) . But the Cook could care less about the customer. Any questions ask of management are answer with Lies and the Statement , "that's how thing are done here" They tried teling us our sandwich was made with Real roast Turkey (BS) is was lunch meat , and cheap lunch meat.And If order Roast pepper sandwich , none of stuff is chopped making for a impossible eating experience(just use a for and knife) Warning Don't eat the Coleslaw. I have given place a chance, like once a year for last 4 years. I am now done , Unless management and the cook change , I am NEVER going back. I'll make a PP&J sandwich at home ,its safer.Or make the drive to Lakehurst. read more

Over priced and Poor client table side care...Read on. Our last time dining here. Go to the Red Lion Diner on Route 70 at the circle. At the Heritage Diner we arrived were seated in a booth as we entered so no waiting. Our server took our beverage order and we had beverages in a few minutes. Being our 1st time we took a look at the specials. My husband chose PrimeRib $16.95 it was good to his liking. I ordered Fettuccine Alfredo broccoli w/chicken $14.95 was good the alfredo had a nice taste the chicken was good. Our daughter order the same as I. As she was enjoying her meal she can across a BLACK HAIR in her food...gross. We brought this to the server' attention as asked if the manager would do something. She was running back an forth to get us answers. The manager DID NOT come to our table to address this gross issue he had his server do it for him. They finally took the meal off the bill. They would not give my daughter dessert as a 'comp' as a sorry for their gross hair issue. We ended up buying her Choco mint ice cream $3.50 for 2 scoops w/whip cream over priced (I can get 2 containers of Turkey Hill for this price). The manager was no where to be seen when we paid our check in leaving. Never said 'we are so sorry for what happen'. Thumbs down never again. read more

A great local diner. Never had bad service or a bad meal. Breakfast is out of this world. Best waffles ever. Not haute cuisine but never a disappointment. Try and get Karen as your waitress. Great sense of humor! read more

The variety of meals to choose from is outstanding. We try something different most times and have not been disappointed. You never leave hungry and most times you are taking enough home for another meal. Large menu for Early Bird dinners. Good prices. Service and atmosphere make your meal more enjoyable. The best rice pudding. read more

I have serious food allergies and staff at the heritage has always insured that I have never had a reaction to anything I order. Once I said I had allergies they remember and they question... They are diligent the food is excellent, The service is excellent and they have a new dessert case with really good desserts read more

Food was ok, nothing spectacular but the service was terrible. The waitress acted as if I was an inconvenience from the moment I sat down. I ate around 1pm so the place was not busy at all. She asked, "What do you want?", never recommended anything nor responded when I placed my order. She waited for her other table's food to be ready before bringing out mine for her convenience making my fries room temperature. Not worth your time; find somewhere else to go, trust me. read more

I am handicapped and always have to pay someone to bring me an order. Wish they had delivery available. Crest wood Family Rest. Had delivery ordered all the time. Tired of. Pizza places read more

We've been here a few times for breakfast. The food is good. Standard breakfast fare. No complaints. Food is good.

Food and service has been going down hill, but we continued to go because my husband is a retired air force veteran and likes to use places that honor those who served. When we went to pay the cashier/host was very rude. He said all the other times in the past year that we ate there, the discount was a mistake. He would not get a manager, said he was not getting yelled at over this. Said it was our prerogative not to come back. Needless to say, Heritage Restaurant, who's food is not all that great, has lost a customer over $3.80 read more

So, this has been our go-to place for breakfast when visiting dad at his retirement home. Past few times, not thrilled. The staff is friendly and prices are reasonable, but the breakfast cook needs to figure out how to make an omelet. The omelets are very dry and boring. Not at all tasty. Me thinks we will find another breakfast nook for the time being... buh-bye Heritage. read more

Stopped here since my Mother-In-Law had a Gift Certificate. The service was slow and the food was not that good. The Ruben Triple Decker Sandwich was barely 3 bites and dripped grease. The Fries were mushy and my son's Chicken Tenders had a fishy taste. The Apple Walnut Chicken Salad was ok at best but some of the lettuce had seen better days. Iced tea was very weak. On our way out ,the Unfriendly Hostess told my Mother-In-Law that she couldn't use the Gift Certificate because we didn't order from the "Specials" Menu. Didn't say that on the Certificate. We won't be back and besides, the place was full of flies buzzing around us. My wife used the Ladies Room and said there was vomit all over the sink and floor! There are better places in the area. read more

This place is awesome. The person at the front counter was so nice, our waitress was a doll and the food! Out of this world. I ordered the Havana panini and you could tell the bread was so fresh! My husband had the country fried steak... to die for! We will definitely be back!! read more

i'm 66....have earned the right to relax, be nice to others and assume that others will be nice to me....go in for routine bloodwork across the parking lot from Heritage...they open at 6 but this place not til 7 so i go for bloodwork later (fasting with no coffee)...i'm so looking forward to hot cup of coffee and senior special breakfast....get there at 8 am and only 1 car parked near them....i look for special menu and none so i ask the one waitress....without greeting me or smiling she takes out pile...i ask her a favor...could you please put on channel 56...she says she's not supposed to (nobody in the darn restaurant and it's breakfast time in a retirement area where almost nobody works) but will until it gets crowded (doing me a big favor)...i grab special menu and go to sit down in front of tv....orig channel is gone and now it shows channel 50.....i thought she hit the wrong button so i told her again, "channel 56"....in the nastiest possible voice she retorts, "i heard you; i picked up the wrong remote"...i don't do well with nasty and neither should you....i said, "i'm leaving; you're too nasty for me"....i'm a career sales rep....15 yrs ago i won trip on Munchmobile for Star Ledger newspaper because i wrote that i've eaten out over 20,000 times....that was 15 yrs ago...it's increased since then....i'm an expert on which restaurants deserve "OUR" business...this one certainly does not! read more

Good food. Prompt service. Have been here many times when out for a ride and will keep coming back.

Best diner around here. Food is pretty darn good and the people who work there are great!

Terrible. Got sick eating your stew (with mushrooms?). Vomited twice in your restroom. Manager behind the desk acted as it was my fault, and still charged me for the soup as it "was already in the computer." Will never eat there again. read more
