At the Heritage Restaurant Diner, we don’t just serve food—we serve stories. Every dish that leaves our kitchen carries the flavor of family, the warmth of community, and the pride of a diner built from scratch, one recipe at a time.

For over 25 years, the Kalafatis family — Gus (father) and Peter (son) — have remained deeply involved in every detail. From the first prep to the final plate, they’re in and out of the kitchen daily, ensuring each item is crafted with care and consistency. Gus laid the foundation with timeless recipes and a commitment to quality; Peter continues the tradition with bold flavors, inventive new dishes, and a focus on healthy, satisfying options.

It’s not just about what’s on the menu. It’s about how it’s made, who makes it, and the experience it creates. That’s the Heritage difference.

What We Stand For

• Authenticity: No shortcuts, no gimmicks. Just real ingredients and real heart.
• Creativity: We take diner staples and give them a twist—because nostalgia tastes better with innovation.
• Community: Whether you’re a regular or a first-timer, you’re part of the Heritage family the moment you walk in.
• Legacy: We’re building something that lasts—through flavor, through storytelling, and through every detail that makes Heritage unforgettable.

Behind the Counter

We bake our own sourdough bread from scratch—never frozen, always fresh. It’s the backbone of our gourmet sandwiches, toast for eggs, and the base for entrées that deserve more than store-bought slices. We also craft our own rich brioche bread, the star of our gourmet French toast lineup.

Greek staples like our chicken souvlaki platter—tender chunks of grilled chicken, warm pita, crisp Greek salad, and golden fries—sit alongside fresh-baked bread bowls filled with fig & feta or steak & eggs.

Our 8oz rib eye steak sandwich on grilled sourdough is a local legend, and our diner burger deluxes are one-of-a-kind. The newest addition? A steak burger made with rib eye, topped with bacon, fig jam, and peanut butter—yes, it works, and yes, it’s unforgettable.

We stretch our own 12″ pizzas to order, handcraft acai and Greek yogurt parfaits, and blend protein-packed smoothies that fuel your day. Our overnight oats are wholesome, hearty, and never boring.

Dinner? We’ve got it covered. From salmon dishes and chicken teriyaki to homemade meatloaf, each entrée includes your choice of potato, vegetable, soup, or salad. And when it comes to steaks, we don’t mess around—hand-trimmed cuts from a 3lb rib eye tomahawk to 20oz porterhouses, cowboy steaks, and NY strips are trimmed and grilled with precision.

We’re not just a diner. We’re a destination. A place where tradition meets innovation, and every plate tells a story worth savoring.
