It was amazing. The rice and gravy had tons of flavor. The chicken and dressing had the right amount of dressing, gravy, and tender chicken to go with it. You could cut it with a fork. The yams could have used a little more love. A little more brown sugar, vanilla, and butter would have taken them to the next level. The roast beef would be great on a sandwich. It was very tender. The cornbread had the right balance of savory, light, and sweetness. The greens had a meaty flavor to them. A pinch of vinegar and they would have been perfect. The mashed potatoes had great texture to them. And last but not least, the rolls had the perfect amount of toast on them. They made them taste like my Mamaw used to cook them. I will definitely be back here.
We love this place and have been coming here for several years. Favorites are the broiled trout and pork chops. Never disappointed! I have to snicker at the reviewers who have complained that their children weren't allowed to sing their numbers and abc's. I say good for the staff for not allowing it. We come to enjoy our meal, not listen to your kids performances. And for the reviewer who said the Epicurean doesn't like "colored" people. Wonder what color they were referring to? Green people, purple people? Inquiring minds want to know!
Absolutely love any dinner I get here!! Great food for excellent price!!! Sometimes I dine in sometimes I take out...
Love Tuesday at Epicurean. Prime rib, salad and baked potato. I also loved the broiled trout, steamed cabbage and stewed prunes. This is my happy place for local good food.
I am livid about my experience at this place today.After picking my child up from school we decided to try Epicurean in East Ridge. We have a party of 5 my parents and the boys. We go in and the boys have their tablets. The hostess asked us to turn them down while walking in so we want disturb anyone. Ok that’s fine we will. So we look around and it’s like 6 people in the place and we are the odd ones out. My son loves to sing and say his letters, numbers, etc but if he gets loud I address him(like the teacher I am). We decided to ask the lady if that will be a problem and she said yes. We get up and leave. My child is 2 years old and we have never been asked to turn down a tablet. Then you trust to say he can’t sing. I truly believe it.
Food was really good this time. wife hat the trout and I had the pork chops. Both were seasoned right and cooked perfectly. What really impressed us was the server Janet. They were obviously short staffed and she must of had 12 tables at one time. She was a machine and knocked it out like a champ!!!! WE ARE NOW TEAM JANET!!!!
It wasn't all bad, but my shrimp was left off my seafood platter, the oysters were not great, my mother's to go order was tough, and my husband and I were given the check for a table of six. Other than those problems, the food, overall, was not bad. We won't go back but I would say if you want a quiet dining experience with so-so food, go for it.
The food and staff are fantastic! I’d eat there every day if I could!
