  The food is amazing and as far as price goes it's pretty reasonable for how much food you get 1 epic sandwich is enough for 2 meals

  Pricier than some places but the giant portions make up for. Inventive menu with tasty combinations has me wanting more!

  Not your average “Deli shop”. Did you know they have adult gaming and kids arcade games? I didn’t know until last weekend. My grandson suggested it for our lunch date. He loves this place, now I understand why. He loves their waffle fries, cheeseburgers, pinball machines and other arcade games. It was my first time there though. I really liked the big, open industrial look, the Metallica pinball machine and Black Knight pinball machine, the chicken sandwich and soup, and thought it was a great decision to separate the bar and adult gaming room from the main “all ages” game room where the arcade games are. The Black Knight game, cracked me up! Its quite "Bossy". When you put your first quarter in, it says "Give me more money, MORE!" Then when you do, it says "Feed me more gold!" And a few other things, there is a short video attached. The environment was great! Unexpected to walk into a place that just sounds like a sandwich shop and find the entertainment 😁🤯 Nice surprise! This past Summer they hosted disc golf tournaments on site. They have live music performances on the stage inside and in the Summer they have outdoor seating and outdoor live music as well. Check out their website for events. Pretty “Epic” place to go for lunch or dinner. I definitely recommend it!

  Epic Deli isn’t just a stop for food — it’s a stop for stories. Walk in and you feel it: the walls hum with nostalgia, with laughter, with the clatter of forks and half-spoken confidences over greasy plates and neon lights. It’s a joint where portion sizes don’t whisper — they shout, “Come hungry. Stay late. Leave full.” Their menu is a manifesto for appetite. From the loaded “Leslie Chow” sandwich to the classic “Epic Reuben,” each dish lands like a punch of comfort and grease, made with no pretense but plenty of heart. Fries? Greek fries. Appetizers? Maybe fried pickles, maybe deep-fried cheesecake, depending on your flavor creed. Vegetarian, vegan, even keto options walk in the door with a shot — because Epic doesn’t judge tastes, just appetite. But the magic? The magic isn’t just the food. It’s the vibe: equal parts dive bar, comic-book café, and after-hours confessional. Neon posters on the wall. Loud laughter at the next table. Slang, jokes, stories — some raw, some ridiculous, all real. You come in for a sandwich. You leave with a half-smile, a greasy napkin, and a tiny load of local lore. Epic Deli doesn’t need to charm you with fine china or quiet jazz. Its charm is in the hand-cut fries, the stacked subs, the ease of slipping into a booth and feeling like you’ve always belonged. If food had a soul, Epic Deli’s menu would read like its heartbeat: audacious, unapologetic, and alive. The kind of place you tell your friends about the next day — or don’t. Some nights, you just want to hold that memory yourself. In McHenry’s wider mosaic of casual spots, Epic Deli still stands out. Not because it tries hardest, but because it stays honest. Because when you open the door, the table is already set for whoever shows up. If you want comfort without pretense, flavor without fuss, and a place that feels equal parts home and adventure — then this place deserves the name it wears loud: Epic.
