  • Neighborhood gem
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.

    Atmosphere was great not much background noise and lighting was perfect. The food was delicious and at a cost that was very reasonable. The staff was friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu and drink’s. Definitely will be back.

    We always have a great time at Eppings! This birthday celebration with 8 people was wonderful as well. Food was delicious and service was great. We did miss out on the entree specials for a 7:30 reservation, this is the only thing we were disappointed with. Can’t wait to go back !

    We usually try to sit at the bar and always look forward to talking to Tyler and getting his recommendations on different wines, but he was off last night. Everyone behind the bar was so accommodating and just as knowledgeable and we really enjoyed the evening as we always do. The menu has changed a little bit, but we always stick with the burnt ends and the brussels sprouts because they are out of this world good.

    Delicious food and wonderful drinks at the restaurant. The location was about 2 miles from where we were staying for a quick overnight in Lexington, and it was fantastic to get away from fast food and chains. We loved everything we ordered, but there was a hiccup with service, very slow to get our second round of small bites, and when it arrived, one was not the salad ordered. More of a wait to correct this, but management comped the salad. The restaurant otherwise is well staffed, friendly, a comfortable place for dinner.

    Eppings provides a wonderful brunch environment. This was my second time for brunch and we brought some friends for the first time. Our food was delicious and our service was wonderful.

    Small plates are SMALL and very little food for the price. Chicken Satay $17 was 4 tiny skewers of chicken. Delicious but certainly not enough food to be called a meal. An appetizer? Burger was GREAT. Gnocchi was OK but not the same recipe I had previously. More Tomato sauce than I wanted.
