More Than a Meal — a West Side Tradition
Heinnies has been feeding Elkhart's west side with honest, generous cooking for nearly a decade — charbroiled steaks, award-winning burgers, and hospitality that turns first-timers into regulars.
Heinnies | Our Story
A West Side Institution
A family-owned neighborhood bar and grill since day one, Heinnies is built on a simple conviction: cook real food well, treat people right, and they'll keep coming back. The DeShone family has made that promise good every day.
Built on Honest Cooking
Steak has always been the heart of the menu — charbroiled to order, served sizzling on cast iron with a baked potato and all the fixings. No trends, no shortcuts, just honest cooking done right.
Nine Years and Counting
The Claybaugh Burger — four-cheese, bacon, mushrooms, double patty — has been named Elkhart County's best nine consecutive years. Add the America's Best Restaurants feature and Best of Elkhart County 2025 award, and the record speaks for itself.
The Meal That Brings You Back
From birthday dinners in the back room to a Wednesday steak-for-two, Heinnies has a way of turning a meal into a memory. Servers like Dianna keep people coming back — and bringing friends.
