    Truffle fries

    Very good tenderloin sandwich. Truffle fries very flavorful. Waygu burger excellent service was great.

    My boyfriend and I came here for our anniversary and were very pleased! The service was fast despite it being busy, the portions were on point, the entrees were amazing, and the drinks were made very well. The restaurant interior is very well-designed as well. We will probably be back soon. Thank you!

    BLT and floppy truffle fries.
    Frank T.

    We came in on our way to CIN. We sat outside and the service and staff were amazing. We ordered our soda's and then decided to split the BLT and an order of the truffle fires. The BLT was great! lots of crispy bacon. The truffle fries were wimpy. there were a few crispy ones but totally disappointing. We mentioned it to our server who graciously brought us another order. It was slightly better. But way too soft. They said they were double fried, but they didn't taste like it. Not planning to return.

    Chicken Caesar Salad

    I found this gem here on yelp while visiting town for graduation. It was everything I hoped it would be and more! The service was great, our waiter was friendly, the vibes were moody and modern, the food was DELICIOUS! We made a reservation and I would absolutely recommend that because they were super busy. 10/10 experience!!

    East End Grill was excellent! We were promptly seated at the time of our reservation and had excellent service throughout our meal. Very clean and modern feel, but I wouldn't say cozy. They have a small sidewalk patio for outdoor dining. We each had a cocktail, and entree, and we shared the roasted cauliflower appetizer. This appetizer was excellent. We asked for the harissa on the side but I would just go ahead and have it on the dish next time. I had the hanger steak and I'll be dreaming of that cowboy butter for a long time. That was so good! My steak was perfectly cooked and I enjoyed the roasted potatoes on the side. I'd like to visit EEG next time I'm in town and I highly recommend you do too!!

    Spinach & Candied Bacon Salad (with avocado and shrimp)
    M. Spencer H.

    Brought my parents in for dinner and we ate at the bar. Austin was an excellent server and took great care of us. I had the Spinach & Candied Bacon Salad (added avocado and shrimp); it was really good and the avocado added a great juxtaposition of texture against the candied bacon and crispy chickpeas. My dad ordered the Flank Steak Tacos and liked them, but my mom couldn't stop raving about her Mushroom Ragu! We had such a great time we came in the following night for a nightcap of the Amarula Ethiopian Coffee Cream Liqueur that was on the dessert menu. Definitely the right choice. It was dangerously good and you could get in some real trouble sipping on that deliciousness.

    Flatbread
    Antonio R.

    We came on a Thursday evening after a campus tour and this seemed to be a good option for dinner. We ordered the wagyu burger, flank steak tacos and the flatbread with prosciutto as appetizer. Service was great and our waitress was very nice. The flatbread was average in flavor, the tacos were very good and the burger was tasty and delicious. We dined at the patio and they had music which made our night out great. Loved it

    Stone Fruit Burrata
    Erin J.

    Always great food and service at East End Grill! I wish I remembered our servers name because she was the sweetest and just had the perfect timing to stop by the table and check on us. Food was excellent as always. Stone fruit burrata was so amazing we ordered a second one for the table. I could have had a plate to myself for dinner! But I got the halibut and it was 5 stars delicious. Everything we ordered was so delicious and presentation was lovely. We discovered East End Grill my daughter's freshman year at Purdue and have been going back ever since. We love this place!

    Cheese Board
    Phil B.

    A few months ago we were here and had a really really top notch meal. We were heading back home from Chicago thru Lafayette and decided to stop by. Well the menu had changed considerably. No meat and cheese tray and no salmon. Decided to try the salmon burger and got a Caesar Salad. The salad this time was served on the side of the plate with the salmon burger. It was not as big as previous visit. The salmon burger was way too soft and squishy and barely warm and really lacked flavor. Very disappointed. Husband said his hamburger was ok. His salad was also served on the plate with the burger. Went away just underwhelmed today. Service was good and our drinks were kept filled.

    Hanger steak with roasted fingerling potatoes, snow peas and cherry tomatoes.

    Had some business up in Lafayette this evening and found this gem in a quaint neighborhood thanks to Grok. The place was packed but we found a couple seats at the bar and Alicia was on point with a bubbly attitude, recommendations and service! Note, for being completely packed, the noise level was moderate, surprisingly! We loved that! We started with the truffle fries, sadly no picture. But a huge basket of hand cut, double fried potatoes, covered with Parmesan cheese and herbs. The truffle aioli was so good. There are enough fries for 4 people! My gf went with the hanger steak with chimichurri sauce along with roasted fingerling potatoes, snow peas and cherry tomatoes. I decided to try the pan seared duck breast with glazed carrots and cauliflower puree. Both were amazing, everything seasoned just right and cooked perfectly. If I had one critique, it would be the plating of the vegetables on my gf's plate, they looked to just be tossed onto the plate at last minute. They were still delicious though! We topped off the fabulous meal with a coconut cake with pineapple filling. We will be back.

    Another great night at East End Grill! Our server was Michael. He really knew his stuff! Made great suggestions and really knows the menu. We all orders something different and shared. While we felt that the cheesy grits and the Cole slaw were bland (optional sides), all the entrees were phenomenal. Don't miss out on this Lafayette gem!

    Bacon, lettuce, tomato with fresh cut fries
    Tom P.

    So, continuing on In Lafayette, Indiana lunch for the day was an outstanding spot. Make sure you make a reservation this place gets packed. Everything looked so good but after eating an entire scone earlier I thought lets go lite. Well this wasn't true at all. This bacon, lettuce, tomato sandwich came out with a huge side of fresh cut fries.. I also opted for extra bacon which wasn't needed but oh well. These fries were so good crunchy on the outside and soft inside, needless to say I left so full. I must also let you know the taco's looked so good, but this will be for next time.

    Everything! Food was excellent and service great. The housemade cauliflower curry was so fabulous.

    Prices are hoping visitors and Purdue tourists cannot go more than a mile from campus. Sadly the…read moremenu has wildly bloated numbers double what many similar restaurants offer, Town and Gown, Bistro 501, RedSeven deliver and reach above expectations unlike the dull expensive dry roast recently eaten this past week. I cannot comprehend this place, after four visits with friends, unable to recommend any dish or drink as a standout win up against the cost. Let me nail down each dish we had this past Wednesday, the grilled bacon was entirely fine, quite tough but nice fatty flavors, I like Teay's River candied bacon app better. Oyster was good, east coast briny does me right. Our Old Fashioneds were insanely expensive without offering any memorable flavors, balance seemed restrained neither giving a forward bite or a smooth sweetness. Strawberry Lemon sprits was similar, an overpriced kid's slushy. Asparagus was fine. Potato sides surprisingly flavorless, we all couldn't believe how dull the potatoes were. My sister's salmon looked half the size of Town and Gown's while costing fifty percent more and offering half the food. She did finish the ocean protein but left most of the rice. Thankfully the desserts were better, bread pudding somewhat dry and needing a sparkle of that smooth actual pudding but the winner was definitely the key lime. Rich and dense, dreamy and tangy, I got happy! Sure the atmosphere and staff is enjoyable, providing some fresh city vibes compared to the homely and old school Mountain Jacks. However Jacks and Mcgraws Steakhouse both do far better as culinary is concerned. Would be exciting to see this place fix up their inconsistency, out of touch pricing, or they'll be the next to go the way of Bowen Bistro during the next economic crash.

    Lovely, classy bar on Purdue's campus! The drinks and mocktails here are fabulous. They also offer…read moresmall bites here. Such a great place to meet up with people or to hang out solo. Highly recommended!
