Epping's on Eastside

Happy coincidence my wife saw this place across our destination. We absolutely loved our experience here. From the ambiance to the food and service. Everything was exceptional. Krystle was such a great server. We obviously enjoyed their happy hour and excellent wine selection. The special of the night was delicious. And management handled an issue that exceeded our expectations. We will be back to enjoy more of their menu.

Every plate was so tasty and refined with flavors and presentation. Hard to choose a favorite but the carrots, pork belly and shrimp definitely stood out. Lauren, our server was excellent with making recommendations. A definite try in Lexington.

Phenomenal food and a stunning restaurant! The service was wonderful. Everything was delicious and flavorful, wow! Can't wait to go back again.

Had a nice dinner at the bar. This place was busy, but spacious and low volume. A perfect place to have a drink and light dinner at the bar. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the service we got was exactly what we wanted.

A young family’s paradise for brunch, lunch or dinner. Great food, yes. Kind and attentive service, yes. Clean, wide aisles for strollers, chill atmosphere, yes to all. But the true highlight was the FAMILY FRIENDLY BATHROOM with a CHILD SIZE POTTY & SINK! My newly potty trained toddler was absolutely delighted and thrilled she could take care of her business all by herself. She went five times so that she could show all of our family the potty that was perfectly her size. It was literally something dreams are made of. Why aren’t all restaurants thinking like this? Do you want families to be comfortable and return again and again? Eppings has my business for LIFE because of this feature alone. Take your whole family and experience the magic!

What an amazing place! Hostess was so sweet and helpful. Our server was attentive and friendly. Food is super fresh and delicious! Awesome, unique atmosphere.

Amazing atmosphere 👏 very neat space and well laid out. We tried the Lexington Restaurant Week 4 course meal. The crab bisque had a great rich flavor, the chicken pakora was very good with a nice dipping sauce to cut some of the spicy. The pork lion could have had more flavor but the risotto and broccolini it came with was fabulous 👌. The seared bronzini was the best of the night, fish was perfectly cooked and was plated over a lovely fregola pasta!!

Food was delicious! Absolutely love the brussel sprouts and lamb skewers! Service was a bit lacking; we were ordering multiple small plates throughout the night and the waiter was to quick to leave our table missing so we weren't able to order more food, half our party wasn't able to order their dessert. In the end we just stopped attempting to order and cashed out. Unsure if it's where we sat in the booths, but the AC was blowing right on us making me wonder if they drop the temperature to move tables along. Would go again with long sleeves.

I have nothing but positive things to say about this spot. I was able to snag a last minute reservation and so glad I did. The food was fresh, full of flavor, and delicious. The cocktails were great and the service was too! Worst thing about this place was trying to determine what to order because it all looked great.

Amazing chef! Flavorful plates that create a flavor burst in every bite. Great atmosphere and options. Epping Delicious!!! Also great for sharing food with a group. Highly recommend as a Lexington must try restaurant.

A beautiful restaurant and a great place for brunch. It looks like a huge sun room, with white walls and huge windows, tables and booths with comfortable cushioned chairs. The staff was friendly from our host to our waiter and service was extremely quick though they didn't rush us while getting our orders and let us sit there and enjoy the company of the people we met after we were done eating. The food was good for most, my non breakfast entree, the Frisco Melt smash burger was quite bland and dry. The side of grits, I dare say was more flavorful, should have gone with shrimp and grits. The others at the table got the burrito, chicken and waffles, and the Turkey club. They seem to have enjoyed their selections. Epping's is a solid choice for brunch while you're in Lexington, though I'd stick with breakfast entrees. Or just have coffee and enjoy the beautiful morning in their sun room.

We ate here during their happy hour and got their mini burgers. They were GREAT! Perfect portions and great flavor. The atmosphere is perfect for a date night or a night out. They have a great bar and the restaurant itself is very nicely decorated. The service is always great. This was my second time at Epping's.

Rainy day brunch at Eppings. Several years since I'd been. Nice environs. Had a spicy Bloody Mary to start, very good. Ordered the Biscuits and Gravy. Not enough sausage. Too thick gravy. Waitress actually brought extra gravy, which was nice. I would have been good with one biscuit. Asked for jalapenos, $2.00 extra. Enough to share. Pickled jalapenos would have been better. Pricey for what my brunch was. Setrvice fine Note, a 3% charge if you use a credit card. 3

Great place for brunch! Had friends visit from out of town and I knew exactly where to take them! It was a large group and Epping's was very accommodating for all of us. The waitress was very friendly and answered all of our questions. Epping's has a great brunch menu with many options. I ordered the Smoked Turkey Club and was very impressed, it was huge! The shrimp and grits looked delicious along with the eggs benedict! Will be back!

I like Eppings. I really do. I have been there many times and it is one of my favorite in Lex Went back today after Church and as soon as I walked inside I saw some Drag event was happening While I understand in today's wicked culture businesses need to bend to the 'oppressed minorities ' I decided to just walk away and give my hard earned money to another restaurant If I want to see a clown show I go to the circus

My dining mates were not quite as impressed, and duly so. They either had extremely small portions for a ridiculous price or ill conceived dishes.

Went to Eppings with a group of 7 girls and they took the best care of us. We shared a variety of small plates and every single one was delicious. The drinks were great, the restaurant is beautiful and the staff is warm + kind. I can't wait to go back.

The food is always incredible. I've tried several dishes and I'm impressed. The service was good. The ambiance is very pleasing to the eye. I've enjoyed the experience each time. I'd like to go back, but the 3% service fee keeps me at bay. With the food ($30. for 2 crab cakes is a bit too much for me) already costing a big price, tip, and fee is more than I can afford too often. It doesn't change my opinion of this restaurant. If you have the money to go I'd suggest you give it a try.

Nice place. Good ambiance with decent food and small plates. Our waiter was pretentious and I could tell he was somewhat representative but he warmed after some banter with our table and we were clearly spending money on a variety of items from the kitchen and bar. I'd go back for the food and ambiance.

Love this spot! Great wine selection, you can actually view the bottles as you walk in. We came for dinner, ordered a bottle of wine, 2 cocktails, 4 small plates, and 2 deserts for $160 (not including tip). This was more than enough food! Do NOT skip the roasted carrots, so niche but so good. Great friendly service, i would recommend a reservation even on a week night.

I ate here for a sponsored meal upstairs. It was a presentation dinner meeting so this review should not be construed as reflecting the restaurant downstairs. That being said I thought the food was good. I had a filet which was a little over cooked but that can be expected when trying to feed a number of people at the same time. The sides were good as well. Same can be said for the trio of small servings of desert. Service was excellent as there were two waitresses assigned to the group.

Seven of us had a birthday dinner last evening & it was really nice. Very busy but attractive venue. Food was very good; service was a bit off, perhaps due to busy evening. Terrific crab bisque, chopped salad, chicken, lamb & fries. Oddities: 7 of us but only brought 5 plates for bread; two were never asked what cocktails they wanted; and 3 soups but no spoons. It all worked out; but, that's why the rating is three stars rather than four. All agree, we will return to try other items!

OMG!! I went there prior to COVID and it was good, but post COVID it's crave-worthy style food. I'm a big fan of the small plate concept and so glad to see Lexington have a good one with variety. Also know that they have a wonderful bar happy hour, half price the bar menu, wine, $5 old fashions. The mini sliders are part of that mini and probably the eBay sliders I've had anywhere! The pork chop was dry aged, full of flavor, juice, and crispy all at the same time! The gnocchi oooh to die for! And the tataki was super flavorful and perfectly seared! If you've not been run over there and get one of everything, it will be worth it!

The Fat Man's wife wanted to try Eppings on Eastside for a bit, so we decided to head down and give it a go. Epping's on Eastside is an inventive, scratch-kitchen restaurant in an elegantly restored historic building in Lexington's Warehouse Block. I started with Old Fashioned, made with Old Forrester 100, Demerara syrup, bitters, and orange expression. The bourbon, bitters, and syrup meet the tongue at the beginning and then mellow together for a nice, sweet finish. This is a strong drink. The wife tried Mamaw's Little Helper. This is made with Vodka, Limoncello, house lavender syrup, lavender sugar rim, and fresh lemon. As expected, the lavender is very forward, but the lemon cuts through it. The sugar rim adds texture and sweetness; this was a strong drink but not too heavy on the tongue. We started with Pork Belly Burnt Ends made with Compart Farms Duroc pork, house chili rub, red chili honey, smoked pineapple salsa, crispy pork rinds, and petite cilantro. The chili offers a blast heat that lingers but doesn't overpower. The pork was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a bit of fat for flavor. The pork rind was chewy but after it soaked up the honey, made for a tasty bite. The salsa was fresh and bright with a cilantro pop. We also tried the Beef Tallow Fries, hand-cut and twice-fried potatoes served with tomatillo ketchup and chipotle mayo. The fries were perfectly cooked and seasoned well. The ketchup was a sweet sauce and the mayo was creamy with good heat. Wifey had the Grilled Flank Steak with garlic Parmesan fingerling potatoes, baby arugula, balsamic demiglace, Calabrian chile butter, and crispy capers. The steak was a perfect medium rare but slightly tough. The Calabrian chili butter had a little heat and great flavor. The crisp capers offered a pop of vinegar and the potatoes had a great Parmesan taste with a slight crunch. The arugula added pepper to the bite. I went with Buttermilk Braised Chicken- two bone-in-quarter portions, pineapple BBQ glaze, sweet corn hoecake, smoked onion butter, and red cabbage slaw. The glaze had a lot of savory flavor and salt, but no pineapple BBQ. The first piece was slightly dry but the second was moist, and the skin was crispy on both. The cabbage hinted at vinegar but I wanted more as it was dry. The hoecake was fluffy with excellent taste, like a savory pancake. Eppings offers a full dinner menu, including salads, small and large plates, and desserts. They have a full bar and offer a brunch menu. The service was fantastic. The Fat Man says that Eppings on Eastside is Fat Man Approved with 2 chins.

We went here for brunch today and everything started out fine. Then we had to wait over an hour for our meal, and that was only when we called the manager over. Place is great, food, when we got it, was really good and the manager comped our meal. The issue I have is that the waitress and the manager served other people and could clearly see that our food had not come out. Once I asked the manager what the issue was, an hour+ after placing the order, he got our food out. Won't be back and have to ask if Coles has a similar issue. Sad as the food was good, eventually!

This was quietly literally the best meal I've ever had in Lexington. We got the Korean cucumbers and spring rolls for appetizers - amazing. I had the crab bisque and red lentils for dinner - superb. Everyone's else's dinner was amazing too - gnocchi, fish and chips, and salmon. All of the drinks were delicious. I had the passion fruit drink which lasted me the whole meal and every other drink we had was wonderful as well. 10/10!

Alright everyone, I'm literally obsessed with this restaurant. First time here and it is by far my favorite restaurant in Lexington. I legit cannot wait to go back. 4 small plates was the perfect amount of food for 2 people! Tara was our waitress and she was amazing, will definitely request her. Great vibe for date night. 1000/10 recommend. Photos: Crab cakes (I'm from Louisiana and absolutely loved these, literally can't pass them up), gnocchi (amazing, but super rich if you don't want something heavy; the sun dried tomatoes are the perfect addition), short rib special (very good!) Chicken satay: soooo yum the peanut sauce is chefs kiss (avoid if you don't like turmeric)

Had a wonderful time at Epping's today, which began at brunch and continued much later. Three old friends who hadn't seen each other for too long and we couldn't have been happier with the food; drinks; or service from all we encountered. Very well done, and thank you!

Went to Eppings for Happy Hour! Note, Google says that they open at 5pm, but the bar was definitely open at 4pm. Happy Hour is from 4-6pm and features a half off bar menu that has some pretty amazing options for everyone! The chicken wings were not on the menu and were pretty good, but I have to call out their homemade ranch and blue cheese dressings as the star of the show - next time, I will totally go to town with a plate of carrots and celery and skip the wings. Also during happy hour: $5 Old Fashioneds (which were delicious) and a $5 Elderflower Gin Tonic (very refreshing). Wine by the glass is also half off and I enjoyed their selection. As a bonus, I tried the Blood Orange Cosmo after reading another review - it was not on the Happy Hour Menu but I absolutely loved it (and may have had two... let's just say I went home very happy after this happy hour... ). Calling out to both the bartenders on the south side of the bar - they were kicking it all night! Also, I noticed the GM running food and busing tables which I always think says a lot about any establishment. Service and staff at Eppings is definitely a 5-star experience!

I made reservations for Epping's and was seated right away. I had the French toast and it was pretty good. The blueberries and sauce were on the tart side but they balanced the sweetness of the dish. All in all my table had a good experience here.

Person who took our reservation made a point of coming to the table and greeting us. Our waiter was also very friendly. The small plates are interesting and nice to share. The space is bright and pleasant.

First time at Epping's was for my farewell brunch with friends before moving out of state. It did not disappoint. From the ease of reserving a table over the phone, to the immaculate service, everything was perfect. I arrived right on time for my reservation and was happily greeted by the young lady in the front of the restaurant. She checked to see if our table was ready and quickly took us back. Our table for 9 was ready for us. We started with a carafe of Bellinis. The shareable bottomless serving is the way to go. You can get it with up to four glasses to share. We did that and we all had multiple drinks from the carafe. After we finished that, we went with with the traditional mimosa. Just about everyone at the table got either the brunch burger or the hot chicken biscuit. Everything was wonderful. All the food was served fresh & hot and tasted wonderful. The service was impeccable. Our waitress was so attentive and friendly. We couldn't have asked for better service. I'm sad that I won't be in town to enjoy this restaurant more. Sunday brunch was definitely a hit!!!

We went to celebrate my birthday and decided on the Restaurant Week specials. Everything was amazing!!!!!! Please keep the Eastsider on the menu forever!

A nice restaurant very quiet for a Sunday brunch The service was good and the food came out super fast Meat was more medium than medium - rare but still 5 stars

JULIA ROBERTS MOMENT. On April 4, 2024 at 5 pm we walked into Epping's. Two of us live in Ashland Park and we were entertaining an out of town guest. Our guest happened to be the COO of a high end restaurant franchise. Not kidding. Upon entering we were stopped. We said we are going to just sit at the bar and have drinks and appetizers. The "hostess" said nothings available for an hour to an hour and a half. Again, we said we didn't need a table we were just going to sit at the bar counter. She nastily said "we don't have anything." We could see two open seats at the bar although they weren't together. She was sitting on a bar seat. She never got up. She never looked at the bar. Since Epping's have two bars she could have gotten up and looked in the other room. She didn't. She could have gotten off her bar seat and tried to seat us using the two open seats. She could have asked a manager. Instead she just sat on her bar seat and smirked at us. Embarrassed and stunned we said thank you and left. Our COO remarked that the front of house needs some serious training as that is the face of the company. We went to the sister property, Coles where we had a delightful experience. Greeted and seated by two hostesses and our server. We enjoyed drinks, wine, appetizers and full entrees. Wonderful service and fabulous food. Epping's however was a horrible experience. Our COO friend usually orders the majority of appetizers to try and it's nothing to have two bottles of $70+ wine. Even with average service we all tip 30-35%. To the young unprofessional judgmental hostess at Epping's, in the words of Julia Roberts, "Big Mistake HUGE"!

It had been years since I'd been here, and let me tell you, they have truly upped their game! Previously the beautiful environment was the major draw, and the food was good but not outstanding. My recent visit truly impressed me! As always, the setting was beautiful and the service was kind and professional. I also happened to arrive during happy hour, which I will certainly be back for--$5 cocktails and half priced wine! Great cocktails. Phenomenal small plates--can't recommend the Roman Suppli enough. For my main I got the Flank Steak, which was perfectly cooked and incredibly flavorful. Everything was very reasonably priced for the quality and portion. Needless to say, I will be back!

I love epping's. What a gem. The only thing that keeps this establishment from being a consistent 5 star is the inconsistency in cocktails. Sometimes I'm served the best Negroni I've ever had, and sometimes I'm served a pretty good Negroni. Regardless - great restaurant, good staff, delicious entrees.

The food was excellent and blood orange cocktail was amazing as well. I enjoyed the surroundings and felt comfortable to enjoy myself and have a relaxing dinner with my family. All the staff went above and beyond. Will definitely return! The flank steak rocked and the miso salmon was perfect. The blue crab bisque was perfect and definitely was taken home since I was too full to eat my daughter's leftovers .

I've tried Epping's three times, and unfortunately have been disappointed each visit. The ambiance here is amazing, but the service is severely lacking. The first two times dining at Epping's, my order came out cold/undercooked - once, they fixed it! The other time, however, the server didn't stop by again for 15 minutes, and when they did they brought the check. After speaking with a manager, I was able to get the meal removed from the tab since it was inedible. My third visit to Epping's, they rudely asked us to leave only 35 minutes after we sat down... we had finished our meal, but not our conversation (we had made a reservation for this spot too, even though it was busy/peak hours, I find it to represent poor service.) From what I can tell, they do not care to serve young people unless they are drinking alcohol. Very disappointing. I wanted to love this neighborhood spot, but it is unwelcoming and inconsistent.

I've been twice now - once for brunch and once for dinner. The restaurant is open and airy with beautiful decor. Small but creative cocktail menu. They make a great old fashioned! Other winners are the Eastsider and the Orange cosmo. Their menu is so appealing with lots of really delicious choices. I had their fried chicken sandwich when I went for brunch. I really enjoyed it. The seared sea scallops for dinner are amazing! The hangar steak looked fantastic as well but apparently has a bit of a kick with the spicy chili rub. Their fries are delicious and come with a spicy aioli and tomatillo ketchup. Everyone at the table was fighting for the tomatillo ketchup - it was incredible. Reservations definitely needed though you could try to grab a seat at their bar - bonus it has two sides with lots of seats. Excellent and friendly service.

Love eppings! Always amazing food. They have my favorite lamb kabobs ever. Been going here for a couple years and have always had a great experience, but decided to write a review after tonight. My son has a dairy/soy allergy so I have been struggling to find options to eat at since he is nursing. The chef took the time to write on the menu what I could eat and came up with substitutions for sauces! It was incredibly kind and shows they go out of their way for customers.

First time at Eppings for brunch and I would definitley go back! The ambiance is very clean, comfortable, and elegant yet simple. The waitstaff were super friendly and attentive. The food was amazing- kept it simple with the breakfast plate but the flavors were so tasty! I'd love to try Eppings for dinner sometime as well!

Well, they did it again. We ate here last year while visiting our daughter and couldn't wait to get back this year to see if the food was as amazing as we remembered it to be. If it's even possible it was even better this time. The chicken satay is one of our favorites and the roasted carrots; well I didn't think it was possible to make a carrot taste that good. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The service is phenomenal. They don't cram you in next to each other like some places so the atmosphere is nice and relaxing. Just go. You'll be very happy you did.

So glad I finally checked this place off my list! Met a group of girlfriends for a late brunch and everything was exceptional! I will definitely be returning. Truly devastated I didn't get a photo of the French Toast and the Burrito because those were the stars of the show. Still thinking about the house raisin bread and Chantilly cream of the French toast. The kitchen does close at 2:00pm so they were out of biscuits by the time we ordered (~1:30pm) but honestly so grateful they let us make a reservation so close to closing! Do note they require a credit card on file for parties 8+ with a fee per person if you cancel.

We had a wonderful dining experience at Epping's on Eastside. We made reservations to dine on a Tuesday evening based on recommendations. We got to the restaurant about 10 minutes before our reservation so we decided to hang out by the bar and ordered some drinks. Before I get started on our food choice, let me say how much I liked the atmosphere and the decor of this restaurant. It was light and very modern. They had some quirky decors which were all tastefully situated around the dining area. We got to our table and ordered the following (which we all enjoyed): Charcuterie & Cheese, Garlic Hummus, Mushroom Bitterballen, Dry rubbed wings, Grilled pork chop & New York Strip. We enjoyed every one of them! I wish I had taken some photos but clearly, Yelp has a lot of them. So glad this place came highly recommended by a friend. She definitely has good taste.

I had an incredible meal at Eppings last night! The Kentucky Waygu steak was absolutely amazing - cooked to perfection and incredibly flavorful. It was definitely the highlight of the meal for me. To top it off, the Old Fashioneds were some of the best I've ever had - perfectly balanced and not too sweet. The service was good but our server did have a bit of an attitude. I would highly recommend Eppings to anyone looking for a great meal and drinks. Can't wait to go back!

Great choice for dinner !! The atmosphere is fresh and inviting. Would recommended 10/10

When I learned of their reopening, I immediately made a Saturday evening reservation, 'cause the early bird catches the worm! It's a beautiful and elegant restaurant without feeling stuffy or pretentious. You can go totally casual, or step it up a couple of notches. It's a neutral, serene space with lots of natural elements and earth tones. The lighting is soft and soothing. Makes you want to linger. Bar seating is available with groupings of 2-3 barstools, so cozy. I like to start a nice meal with a cocktail. One blood orange cosmo, please. Image blood orange house-infused vodka with citrus juice. It's as good as it sounds. I heard the cocktail shaker all night, as many of the patrons were indulging. We don't normally order wine by the bottle due to the high markup, but they had a very good 2016 California Zinfandel blend at a great price. Of course they cork the remainder of the bottle to take home. The appetizer of choice was the beautifully prepared Salmon Tartine with charred scallion cream cheese, pickled red onion, crispy capers, and petite herbs on grilled house rye. No need to elaborate, as the description says it all. It was all I could do to share this dish! You can't go wrong with the nicely seared Dry Aged Bone-in Duroc Pork Chop from Compart Farms, with a New Mexico chili rub, smoked onion butter, accompanied by beef tallow fries and tomatillo ketchup. Compart is a fourth generation family-owned farm producing a heavily marbled chop, making it more flavorful and juicier. They aren't stingy with the smoked onion butter, and I've got the stain on my sweater to prove it! It was a large chop, and it defeated me. And it's also just about the best chop I've ever eaten. Let's talk about those beef tallow fries. I've had truffle oil fries in the past, and they were always sort of limp and soggy, so I was skeptical. These are a different story. Brown, crispy, and delicious. Not heart healthy, but who cares! Turns out the tallow has a high smoking point, making it ideal for frying. McDonald's originally fried their fries in beef tallow. You just learned something new. It was a slow, relaxing meal, what you'd expect from a restaurant of this caliber. The meal was absolutely perfect, and I can't wait to delve further into the menu!

We came here for brunch with our friends who are from town. The menu was diverse and everyone could find something (except my son who only likes fried chicken, and they said they couldn't accommodate). Chicken biscuit was good, but you couldn't pick it up to eat it. My daughter's French Toast was good but had a dollop of something creamy on it she could have done without. The veggie burger was good, but huge. Fries were fresh cut.

I was really excited to try this place but felt like I came out of the evening with more misses than hits. Since I booked with Epping's I thought we would be seated on that side of the building but we were taken to the Poppy & Olive side. It's lit up like a high school cafeteria and was absolutely FREEZING in there with a constant draft on our legs. Definitely ask for the Epping's side when you make your reservation, it was enviously dark and cozy looking. I guess I didn't understand the menu well enough when I was ordering, there are small plates and large plates and I assumed the large plates were traditional dinners. I ordered the fish masala and I just got two large pieces of fish with no sides. It seems like maybe you have to order a large and a small plate to make a meal? The fish was $33 though so if I had added carrots or potatoes that would've made the meal $45. I mean it was a lot of fish but do I want several servings of only fish as a dinner? Our server seemed very new and tentative so perhaps he was supposed to suggest adding a side when I ordered? The specialty cocktails were good but minimal alcohol for $12 each. I would definitely stick to wine should I ever return. I think I would try again if I was sure I could sit on the Epping's side and I would only order a couple small plates.

The ambiance was great and the mamas little helper was the best cocktail I've ever had

Eppings has a great makeshift outdoor (heated) tent setup so decided to try out their happy hour. We arrived just 5 minutes after opening so they were still getting ready for service but were still able to get seated quickly. The RJ Wings were awesome and the sliders may be the best sliders in town. We got beer and an Eastsider too. As usual the mixed drinks were really great. For this visit food and drink was a 5+ while service was about a 3.5. For example, we tried to order the happy hour drink but the server said he didn't know what it was. We said it was fine to go check but he told us we should just go ahead and order something else for now (full price of course) because "the bar probably doesn't even know yet".

Really enjoyed bringing my volunteer group for a happy hour this week. The staff and venue were amazing. Food and drinks were great and excellent pricing.

We sat at the bar...the staff was AWESOME! Everything was so delicious. The cocktails and dessert topped off our fantastic dining experience. Shout out to management - we appreciate you. We will definitely be back.

First time at Epping's, service was wonderful... food was great! I had the Patty melt, wife had the flak Steak. Wife said the flank was the best she ever had. I recommend!

Don't sleep on the carrots! They are excellent. Great bartender and excellent drink options. The special was crabmeat hush puppies and they were so good!

My fiancé and a couple of friends had brunch at Epping's to celebrate my birthday. This was the first time I've visited Epping's and it definitely didn't disappoint. Let's start with their delicious mimosas. We ordered a pitcher and it was very fresh tasting and the champagne used was wonderful as well. What's brunch without a mimosa right? I ordered the eggs benedict. The dish was "egg-celent" to say the least! The eggs were perfectly poached on top of smoked ham, spinach and grits. The grits were made into the shape of toast, which I thought was the cutest thing ever. Parking was a breeze. We were able to quickly find a spot. Also, due to COVID, they require everyone wear a mask when not at the table and took our temperature upon entering. They also added plenty of outside seating.

Can't believe we haven't come here sooner! It was recommended by a friend for brunch and it was so good that we came back the next week! Everything is so clean and airy and the food is consistently good. The burger was dynamite and the bottomless mimosas/ bloody Mary's/ Bellinis deal is unbelievably good if you have friends to share with (~$25) for bottomless for 4 people!!!). Both of our waitresses were friendly, helpful, and personable and both times the owner (or manager?) came out to check on us. They do a good job catering to any population, namely the young and cool millennial with kids as they even have a kid friendly bathroom with a toddler sized toilette and sink, and a diaper trashcan! I am excited to try dinner here for a special occasion and will definitely be back soon for brunch!
