Heritage 71 — Restaurant in Sherwood

If you’re reading this instead of driving to Heritage 71 right now, you’re doing it all wrong.

First of all, I had the pork nachos with queso and I’m 97% sure they were engineered by NASA because I lifted off.. idk what in the world is in that queso but it can’t be legal. The brisket was so tender I almost asked it what its secret was. the cornbread straight up healed something inside me. and the truffle fries? shut up. Those fries and the sauce are the side dish equivalent of a mic drop. I didn’t know I could leave a place still feeling emotionally attached to my food

Atmosphere? Immaculate whether it was inside or out. Outdoor patio was a 10/10—perfect spot to let our kids roam semi-feral while we focused on the important things: smoked meats and pretending we were in Texas. oh and they just put in an outdoor bar. You’re three drinks deep all of a sudden and start whispering “i think i live here now” And even though they were absolutely slammed, the staff was busting their briskets to take care of every table with kindness, hustle, and good energy you unfortunately just don’t get at most places these days

Heritage 71 isn’t just food—it’s an experience. A smoke-kissed, sauce-drizzled fever dream that lives rent-free in my brain now. I would eat here daily if my arteries signed a waiver.

Run, don’t walk. Bring a bib, your stretchiest pants and maybe a life coach because you’re about to rethink everything you...

Tried Heritage 71 for the first time today. Got there before the rush and we ordered two of the specialty cocktails - an old fashioned and a Bahama Mama. My boyfriend liked the old fashioned however the Bahama Mama so strong I could only drink half. I don’t know if the bartender made this incorrectly or the ratio within their recipe needs to be tweaked but it definitely needed more of the fruit juices added in. And for $11, I was expecting a much better drink. The bartenders also gave the impression as being pretty disorganized as we kept being asked over and over if we needed another drink (as the other bartender was busy making our drinks) or if we wanted to order food (after we had already ordered and were waiting for the food to arrive). We ordered the pulled pork nachos for an appetizer and they were very good. The homemade cheese sauce was great. We would definitely order this again. For dinner we had ribs with mac & cheese and french fries. The ribs were good but the mac & cheese and french fries were both cold so that was very disappointing. Overall, we would try this a place again, as they just recently opened and need to work out the kinks, and hopefully have a...

My wife and I visited Heritage 71 for the first time. We chose to sit at the bar for a drink while we waited for an open table. She ordered a whiskey sour and I a whiskey old fashioned sour. We both found them to be weak. We were seated before finishing and discussed a drink to have with our meal. My wife decided to switch to wine but I chose to roll the dice hoping for a stronger whiskey old fashioned sour. When our drinks arrived I was surprised to see my drink looked completely different than the first even though the same bartender had mixed it. We stopped our server to request the correct drink which she took back to the bartender and he proceeded to simply add old fashioned mix to the incorrect drink while laughing about our request. It was still not correct since it would be impossible to correct a drink without starting over. We chose to not make an issue but decided to post a review in hopes of educating the staff with the understanding that they have only been open a short time. The drinks aside we found the smoked meats to be right on point and the sides were all very good. We wish you the...
