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.

    I love this restaurant! Everything about it is great, the food is amazing and the service is wonderful. I do wish the hostess would be more welcoming and friendly, but the servers in the actual restaurant are great. I love that they are accommodating. For example, we are trying to minimize cheap carbs and typically ask for no bread, fries, etc. They substituted some smoked, glazed carrots that were amazing (yes, I realize they have carbs, but they also have some redeeming nutritional value). Plus, they were so good! They have salmon that is simply the best salmon I have ever had. Their burger is great too. This is one of the best places in Lexington to eat. It’s a relaxing environment and one of my favorite places to eat.

    Our entrées were never put in, had a huge delay, one of them was forgotten completely. That was corrected by the manager, but we didn't even bother when the second round of drinks we ordered never arrived. Been here quite a few times and never had an experience this poor.

    Food was good, service was good but there were several loud groups and we were seated right next to them. Not really the restaurant's fault but couldn't hear the conversation at my table so wasn't as nice as it could be. Would recommend but not if you want to actually talk to your brunch friends.

    Food was good. Our waiter Jaylen was very knowledgeable about the history of the building and the menu options. I should have asked more questions about my food choice, if I had known it was bone in chicken I would have picked something else, it was still good though. My husbands NY Strip was fantastic. Cute and elegant for a special occasion but not somewhere we will eat for a while.

    The restaurant was selected as the location to conduct the casual get-to-know-you meeting. This was the first time any of the attendees had gone to Epping's but it looked like an ideal place for the meeting. Everyone was disappointed with the poor service, food quality and temperature, and the overall experience.

    Service slow and food mediocre. We’ve had much better experiences in the past and was surprised by our experience. The salad was especially bad- mainly consisted of water down lettuce. In the future we’ll just go to happy hour in the bar.

    First time there and it was great! Jalen was our server and he was amazing. Gave us all the history of the building and gave us a great menu rundown. He had great recommendations and all of the food was so delicious! Tried their version of an espresso martini and it was one of the best I’ve ever had! Really had a great time and will definitely be coming back!

    Jalen was a terrific waiter with wonderful knowledge of menu items. Very large BOURBON selection but out of 2 I wanted. Short pours of liquor. Lovely setting in upper level, especially all the way back right. Bisque was the best I've ever eaten and living on the coast for 40+ years I've consumed many. The Roman suppi was underwhelming. NY strip tataki was plentiful and nicely served but needed a pinch of sea salt (opinion). Wine by the glass could improve/expand. Varied menu so we'll be back for another day
