I was truly expecting to be blown away by the food here based on word of mouth, but that was not the case. Heritage espouses a farm to table ethos, with meat and vegetables coming from local farms throughout North Carolina. I appreciate the effort to provide customers with ethically raised food, but overall found the meal to be bland.
We had the deviled eggs (classic) and sweet potato chips to start. Deviled eggs were good but nothing to write home about. Sweet potato chips were the major stumble of the evening - they were chewy and hard to eat, w the "foam" wholly unsatisfying. Entrees were the sea bass, pasta minus short ribs as that had run out, and pork tenderloin. Sea bass was fresh and cooked well but sauce was too salty. Pork was also cooked well but came out lukewarm. This was a dish on the sweeter side w sweet potatoes and a sweet/sour sauce. Companion found the pasta to be bland but perhaps this could be remedied with short ribs included. We ended the meal with a lemon chess pie which came out cold. This again was good but not memorable. I would like to note that the service was fantastic and the ambience also wonderful - very homey and welcoming. This added a star to the overall experience.
To sum up - I would not make the hike out to waxhaw just for heritage. But if you are in the area and want to enjoy ethically raised food and a warm atmosphere, I'd stop by.
