Heritage - Shamokin

My boyfriend and I ate dinner there last night...he had a cheeseburger and fries and I had the fried chicken and a salad. Everything was so fresh and delicious and cooked to perfection!! The service was great! The restaurant is immaculate and filled with ambiance! We'll definitely be returning!! Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $10–20

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.

My wife and I stopped in for dinner Friday night. The atmosphere was fantastic and the lady who served us was very friendly. We got the Buffalo Shrimp appetizer, and it was really good. That’s where the good part of our evening ended. After a while our server came out to let us know that while she thought our food would be ready by now, she actually forgot to send the order in their system. When we got our food it looked fantastic, but it wasn’t. I had the fish and chips; the fish had a nice flaky crust but was undercooked on the inside. I was underwhelmed with the chips, I expected the food to be much better based on the review but the chips were as disappointing as the fish. They were frozen fries from a big box store. My wife had as bad an experience as I, with the fried chicken. After finding a hair in her first piece, she set it down and moved to the next piece. By the look on her face I could tell she didn’t like it. I asked her if it was ok and she said it didn’t have any flavor. I tasted a piece and I can say the only flavor it had was the undercooked Bisquick they used to batter the chicken. On a good note, my wife loved the green beans and we were given a 10% discount for the order mix up.

I cannot believe Shamokin has a place like this! The food, service and atmosphere was great. Owner John and his wife are really nice and have done a great job there. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

We’ve been here numerous times and have never been disappointed! Tonight, we had the Ahi Tuna appetizer with plantain chips and it was amazing!!! We had salads with basil vinaigrette and seafood platter and these were both amazingly delicious as well!! Also, we had Amelia for our waitress the last several times and she is a top-notch waitress! The food, service, atmosphere and prices are A+!!! Service: Dine in
