Heirloom is a “Fresno famous” restaurant at Friant Road at Fresno Street. People often line up outside the eatery waiting to get in, despite not being a full-service restaurant. Customers order at the counter and their food is brought to them.<\/p>\n
But the farm-to-table menu is popular, with Heirloom ranking as No. 4 favorite restaurant<\/a> among Bee readers.<\/p>\n Fans will have to wait for the new location. It hasn’t broken ground yet.<\/p>\n “It’s currently a dirt lot,” noted Brandon Smittcamp, who owns the restaurant with partners Rema and Kevin Koligian, and chef Justin Shannon.<\/p>\n Construction is expected to start in four or five months. They are shooting to open in late 2027 or early 2028, he said.<\/p>\n The partners are also behind other popular Fresno-area restaurants, including Saizon<\/a>, Butterfish California Poke<\/a>, Mayd Modern Mediterranean<\/a> and Otherside Cafe<\/a>.<\/p>\n Word of a second Heirloom has been circulating in the community for months. But until the deal was finalized, the owners didn’t want to share details.<\/p>\n “We finally have a signed lease on Heirloom, so that is a done deal,” Smittcamp told The Bee on Thursday.<\/p>\n The Clovis Heirloom<\/p>\n The new restaurant will have the same farm-driven menu and counter-style service as the existing location.<\/p>\n Although the menu changes with what’s in season, popular options include the tri-tip, the Santa Maria burger and the mushroom taquitos.<\/p>\n The new restaurant will have a patio. And it will have a walk-up window for online orders like the Fresno location.<\/p>\n Many of the other details are still being worked out in the design process.<\/p>\n But deciding to open Clovis was an easy choice, Rema Koligian said.<\/p>\n “As Clovis grows,” she said, “it was a natural fit to want to serve that community.”<\/p>\n Heirloom is a north Fresno restaurant serving seasonal, local farm-to-table food from one of the best chefs in town.<\/p>\n Diners at Heirloom enjoy lunch under swirling water vapors provided by misters in the restaurant\u2019s patio in this file photo from 2020.<\/p>\n Heirloom\u2019s bacon shrimp fried rice, photographed Tuesday, Feb. 5, 2019 in Fresno.<\/p>\n Heirloom\u2019s butternut squash agnolotti, photographed Tuesday, Feb. 5, 2019 in Fresno.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One of Fresno’s most popular restaurants is planning a second location.
