Heirloom Food Company — Restaurant in Killingly

Love this place!! Food is amazing!!! This is a vegetarian restaurant, but the food is so good that it is a non-issue. My husband is a die-hard meat lover. The idea of having a meal without meat is like taking a shower without water... It makes no sense to him. Finally after nagging him into submission, he agreed to meet me for lunch, but only after making it clear that he wasn't going to like it and that when I was done eating my "rabbit food," he was going to Burger King for a "real lunch." Ha! One bite of their veggie burger was all it took to turn a die-hard meat lover into an omnivore, and one of Heirloom's biggest fans. Their veggie bean burger is one of the best sandwiches I have ever had in my life. And their bakery items are, well.., I guess the only way to describe them would be to say that they are... THE BOMB!!!! lol. I don't know what they put in the oatmeal sandwich cookies, but they are sinfully delicious. I didn't know that a vegan cookie could be that good!! Yes, Heirloom is a "Vegan" restaurant, but it's also so much more than that. It's an amazing restaurant that serves amazing, top-quality-wholesome food made from scratch by people that truly care about the kind of product that they serve at their restaurant. So, to all of you die-hard meat lovers like my husband, don't let the "vegan" part scare you away. Trust me when I tell you that their vegan burger could go head to head with any burger served at any restaurant, any day, and hold its own. Yummy yummy and yummy. I always get excited when I have to work in Danielson, because I know that my reward to myself is a trip to Heirloom for lunch....

Decided to take a drive out to Danielson Connecticut to try The Heirloom Food Company so glad we did! First off the place is charming outside and in. Decks and terraces for outdoor seating along with ample indoor space. Plenty of free parking as well. I was thrilled to see several choices of smoothies that didn’t contain banana. Opted for the Raw Chocolate Medjool smoothie. Thick, creamy and decadently delicious. Made with raw cacao, avocado, medjool dates, soy milk, vanilla and a pinch of salt yum! (I may have tossed the straw, the better to savor that rich creamy goodness) I had the Beta Burger patty house made with lentils, beets, brown rice and almonds super flavorful served on a delicious sprouted wheat bun with fresh crisp veggies and a killer vegan dill mayo. Needless to say I was very pleased with my choice. My husband went for the Buddha Bowl, Chickpea salad, sliced avocado, shredded carrots, cabbage, and vegan curry "mock chick" salad, over brown rice, topped with sesame seeds and drizzled with almond maple sauce. He loved it. I did some sampling of his have to say it was awesome! My eyes may have rolled back in my head in happiness upon tasting that almond maple sauce. They have a nice selection of vegan dessert goodies went for the cowboy cookies. Crisp with just the right amount of sweetness perfect way to end our meal. The staff is extremely pleasant and helpful as well. You place your order at the counter and they bring it to you. We will happily make the trip which is an hour...

Plant-based diets have shown me so many benefits but I sometimes get sick of the same 5 healthy meals I know how to make. I make a point to now have my “cheat meal” here at Heirloom. And here’s the kicker.... I’m NOT cheating! It just tastes so amazingly good that it makes me feel like I am. Everything I’ve ever had here is superb, fresh and satisfying. It’s worth every penny. Your vege clam chowder was unbelievable yesterday. Your beet burgers are my favorite. I’m not gonna lie though... I do miss your sprouted wraps, your juices and your lattes. Those things made you extraordinary! But I understand how hard the juicer and latte machine are to maintain with the amount of customers you get. Just hoping maybe you’ll reconsider. Either way, I’ll always be ordering 🍓Thank you being the ONLY place around here that gets the importance of...
