Uniquely Cleveland Restaurant Concept

Cozy dining at three locations.

Our journey began in the early seventies (1974), when Hecks decided to share their passion for food. Since then, we’ve built a restaurant that’s all about bringing people together with great food and even better company. Our values have remained the same.

Hecks offers a great variety of food options, from our award winning gourmet grass-fed burgers to globally inspired meals. Whether you’re in the mood for brunch, lunch, or dinner, our locally sourced menu caters to all different tastes. From our hand cut steaks, fresh seafood, handmade pastas, and homemade decadent desserts, to our signature coffee. We take pride in being quality driven. Simplicity is our keyword, local is our vision and community is our focus.

From our bar we offer a great selection of signature cocktails, each crafted to elevate your experience and delight your senses. Our mixologists blend classic techniques with unique flavors to create memorable drinks that complement every occasion. In addition to our expertly crafted cocktails, we are proud to present a thoughtfully selected wine list from around the world, offering a perfect pour for every palate.
