Heartland Bistro And Chophouse In Warsaw, IN
An independent restaurant in downtown Warsaw, IN, built on the belief that great dining should feel welcoming, steady, and personal.


Established 2025
Community Focused
Locally Owned
Hoosier Proper was created with a clear point of view and a long-term commitment to investing in downtown Warsaw, IN. We are an independent restaurant built on the belief that great dining should feel welcoming, steady, and personal. That approach guides everything we do, from the kitchen to the dining room to catered events.
Our goal is simple: serve food and drinks we’re proud of, create a place where people feel comfortable, and build something that lasts for our friends, family, and neighbors in the Warsaw, IN community.

Food And Drink
Our menu focuses on hand-cut steaks, balanced dishes, and seasonal ingredients sourced as locally as possible. We prepare each plate with respect for tradition while still leaving room for creativity.
That same approach carries through to the bar, with well-balanced cocktails, wines that pair easily with the menu, and beers from regional breweries alongside familiar favorites.

Hospitality First
We believe hospitality is about people, not just service. Our team focuses on getting to know our guests, remembering the details, and welcoming both first-time visitors and regulars with the same care.
Whether you’re joining us for a quiet dinner, a celebration, or a weeknight meal, we want you to feel comfortable from the moment you walk through the door.
