Heirloom Market

This is an Asian bbq but do not let that dissuade you. I had the pulled pork sandwich, mac&cheese, and slaw. All excellent. This is not a sit down restaurant. You order on line and pick-up your food. They do have tables outside in a heated enclosed area but you have to stand. The food and staff are excellent.

Absolutely LOVE Heirloom BBQ! Been several times but this time I got the HM HOT Chicken Sandwich with a side of the fried tofu. AMAZING!!! The flavors were astounding and generous proportion of chicken. I forgot to take a pic because I was so hungry and it was so delicious. While you may have to wait a little while to pick up your order they are very orderly and friendly, and keep you super warm under their heaters on a cold night. Highly highly recommend, it’s worth the hype.

It’s not fancy. There’a not even a place to sit and eat, but it is tasty! The kimchi coleslaw is great. The fried sweet potatoes kept their crunch even after an additional 45 min car ride. But most importantly, the ribs are smoky, juicy, and tender. They also have excellent brisket and smoked chicken. Their mention in the Michelin Guide is well deserved! Also, ordering ahead is easy and efficient.

If you've heard of it, go. Food is legit and generous. I'll need to try more of the sauces. The one I didn't mesh well with was their vinegar one, has an extra earthiness I wasn't looking for. I'm used to Carolina style offerings in that regard but the other one I had was great. Meat is tender and smoky and everything you want in a proper 'Q. Just be prepared to eat standing up as it isn't a restaurant as much as it is a food stand. Or if you live nearby take it home and enjoy it.

I had the brisket sandwich. It was in the top 3 brisket sandwiches I've ever had. Was greeted by who I think was the owner. Polite and down to earth. No place to sit and eat. There were a few tables you could stand at. If you're looking for some great BBQ you can grab and go, this is your place. Order was ready in 5 minutes or less.

TLDR: I spent $80 in Ubers to grab this food onto the plane back home. I have no regrets. Heirloom was recommended to me by a friend before the Michelin guide wrote anything. I just happened to go on the weekend they announced it so it was super busy. Somehow they still got my food out super fast and I whisked it away via plane to my home in Boston. All of it tasted great. I regret not buying via the pound of specific meats but what did I know since this was my first time? My fav experience was dipping the brisket into the gochu bbq sauce. It created this amazing briney flavour that I have never experienced. The pork belly was also delicious. We also picked up a rack of ribs that tasted amazing with the dark bbq sauce. Order extra for a saucy time. For sides and dessert, the mac and cheese was a perfect ratio. Not too dry but also not the super creamy type. The sweet potato fries were so much fun. The beans were also gorgeous and I could put those with any of the meats. What stood out was the pecan pie. We don’t have good pecan pie up here. The crust and consistency of this pie was beautiful. I miss it already. Would recommend they try a brown butter filling sometime.

Visited here for the first time and it was so delicious. It is a small location with some outside tables to eat around and a convenience store next to it. We ordered our food online when we got there and they brought our food out pretty quickly. Let me just say that the food is fantastic and I can’t wait to return and try something else. It is right next to the river and some walking trails so easy access after a walk.
