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.

Normally I don’t give reviews. But my father and my children we love coming to this restaurant.
The food is great, and there are always new specials on the menu. The staff is upper friendly and welcoming and of course the atmosphere is beautiful.

Lost our reservation made a month in advance but finally got a table. Food was okay but nothing special and over priced.

This is a top restaurant in Kentucky. Staff is accommodating and hospitable(even with little kids!) But the food is why we come here. Everything we've tried has been unbeatable. I hope the mastermind behind their menu never quits.
