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.

We had our kids with us and thought we would be eating in the kid friendly area- I think that area was reserved for a party. we were out in the bar area which was fine with us. We got the impression that maybe others weren’t comfortable with kids around. However, our waitress was excellent with them and very attentive. Food was great as always- loved the specials too!

Server brought wrong dish. French onion soup was not soup but mash. Gnocchi was below average. Other food was good including pork belly and cabbage salad. Hush puppies were below average.

Great experience. First - I was concerned about taking our toddler because it is a nicer place. Turns out they have a special kids menu (with butter noodles and grilled cheese - bingo) and crayons with a cool piece of art to color on. Great touch. We had the fries and carrots as our small plates, the crab cakes and filet special as our large plates. All but the carrots were outstanding. The carrots were fine - they're carrots after all - and were ordered as a backup in case our daughter didn't like her dinner. She was thrilled with her noodles. Mom and Dad should have gotten the hushpuppy special, instead. Our server John was great - friendly, responsive, but not intrusive. The cocktails were great as well. The eastsider is delicious. I can't recall the name of the other - a margarita riff with mango and a spicy salt. Also great. We really enjoyed our meal here. I've been underwhelmed with a lot of our recent Lexington dining experiences, particularly when it comes to steak. I was not disappointed here. Epping's will be our new go-to. Bonus points for the location near Mirror Twin brewery - grabbing an afternoon beer and walking down to Epping's for a great meal made for a fun Mother's Day.

Eppings is always wonderful. They take bar reservations, so we can sit on the end and enjoy watching the bartenders work while we chat. Food is excellent, it’s never too loud, and the light decor and skylights make for a great ambiance.

Our server was very nice and did excellent job. Some of our food was barely warm which was disappointing to the first timers. Epping's does have the best mimosa price for brunch.

We had a wonderful for our anniversary dinner. We tried a couple of the appetizers, split an entry, and two of the desserts. Shiela was our waitress and she was lovely, kind and attentive. We left feeling quite full with several of the items still to bring home all at a good price. Highly recommend the chocolate tart.

We have had dinner here several times before. The food and service is usually very good. However, last night the service was not what you would expect. (They seemed to have plenty of staff and were not especially busy before 6:00 pm). We waited at the table for several minutes for a server. The staff apologized to a table behind us for the slow service and they arrived 15 minutes after us. We finally got drinks but another long wait to order food. I rarely write negative reviews but we will not be back for awhile.

Food met and exceeded expectations. Our waiter was very personable and knowledgeable. Will definitely be recommending Epping’s to others and going back! Only complaint would be that there are 3 different single bathrooms spread across the restaurant that is a little inconvenient. Otherwise great place!

At the behest of my girlfriend we returned to Epping's despite my eventful last trip. Again, shared four of the sharable plates. A couple cocktails. Everything well prepared. No post-meal illness. Epping's is redeemed.

We were in town to go to Keenland and a friend from Lexington recommended. It did not disappoint. Meal was fantastic, server really knowledgeable. Only issue I had was with the parking. We had to park in a neighborhood street a couple block away. Not a huge deal just a bit of a pain. Overall amazing!
