We're a bit like our hometown: sophisticated, well-traveled, but grounded in our roots. We believe there's nothing more important than taking time to dine well with family and friends in a beautiful space. And we have a passion for all things Bluegrass - curing our meats in-house, supporting the region's diverse farming and food community, and keeping a local-first mindset in everything we do. Epping's is located in a renovated historic building that once held Epping Bottling Works, home to the hustle and spirit of local entrepreneur John G. Epping. Today, we are proud to honor that history and be part of the energy of downtown Lexington's Warehouse Block.

    It was another excellent evening at Epping’s. We are never disappointed by the service at the counter (bar). The staff is always friendly, makes solid recommendations, and the cocktails never disappoint. While their small plate menu is excellent and diverse, I would ask about the daily specials and mix it up, as some new gems are always available. Tonight, we tried the Kimchi and crab-stuffed hush puppies, which were very good. We did have a minor issue with our requested seating location, and that was a bit of a disappointment as we had asked in this app on other occasions with no problem, but that is a small bump in an overall excellent evening.

    We recently had the pleasure of dining at Eppings restaurant, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The warm and inviting ambiance made it the perfect setting for a relaxing meal. What truly stood out was our waitress, who was attentive and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. She provided excellent recommendations and made sure our glasses were never empty. The food itself was delicious, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor. Overall, Eppings exceeded our expectations, and I can’t wait to return!

    Went there for Saturday, lunch/brunch and were seated promptly. Excellent menu with lots of selections to appeal to most people looking for lunch or brunch. Menu prices were reasonable, but everything was pretty much à la carte. if you wanted, bacon, sausage, hashbrowns, etc. it was all at an extra cost and all the sides seem to be five dollars. I had the sautéed mushrooms over scrambled eggs, which was the special that day and it was really very good and big enough to have fed two people. Our waiter was a bit scattered and made a few minor errors but the service was pretty fast and efficient.

    As usual, a wonderful meal. Dined on a Friday evening with another couple. Everyone's food was excellent. Eppings never disappoints. Our service was good, but not great. We have had this waiter before and he is always a little awkward, but he still did a decent job. It is one of our favorite dining spots in Lexington.

    This is one of my favorite places to eat. I love the menu variety and the large selection of small plate options. I do have one complaint and ask. PLEASE pay more attention to your TVs. Two of the three TVs were showing the local news. No one wants to see that when they are out. I’m guessing you have access to many channels. Show horse racing or more sports, anything but the news. Oh, and please add the bitterballen special to the menu. So good.
