i LOVE this place. first restaurant i had on a trip to indiana and i thought about it for months, until i finally came back and got it again. read more

Wow!! We called ahead because we wanted to make sure they could accommodate a late arrival. The staff was friendly and helpful. They said, "come in! We are happy to have you." The bartender, Austin, was on it! He made us amazing drinks, welcomed us, and made us feel at home, right away!!! We were traveling all weekend and ending up here felt like such a wonderful gift. I would highly recommend this place! Brandon, the manager, was also so helpful. They ran out of the ingredients for what we ordered and he did everything he could to make us happy. This place is customer first!! Well done east end grill! If you are in town and want a great experience - go here!!!! read more

Even with no reservations we were seated quickly at the bar. The service was very attentive and the food was delicious . Special thanks to our server Dylan and the kitchen manager for helping us navigate the food allergies of my dining companion. I will certainly return next time in town. read more

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!! read more

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. read more

Food was delicious, we came here for a double date after tulip picking and we are so glad we did. We got the ribs and a burger. DELISH! The service was good, and the restaurant was fancy. The price wasn't bad ether for the quality! For both me and my boyfriend it was 43$! Definitely coming back. read more

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!! read more

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. read more

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 read more

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. read more

Nice restaurant and good food. Ambience is very and welcoming but on the loud side. Service is very good and special shout out to Kristi. We had the ribs, flat bread and spinach bacon salad. The reason for lower stars was full rack ribs arrived not even warm and had to taken back to be heated. The ribs were very good but mine were a little dry. Another at the table got the half rack and there's was hot and juicy. I thought the flat bread was good but it needed something more to pull it up. We will return and try the burgers next. read more

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! read more

Food was amazing, and I loved their caesar salad and garlic truffle fries. The hummus and falafel were delicious as well! Will return if I am ever in the area again! read more

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. read more

I went to Purdue University for a campus recruiting event for my company. I asked one of my co-workers that just graduated from Purdue her recommendations and she steered me to East End Grill! I walked and the place was packed! The restaurant was really nice inside and the patrons were all having a good time with the food and conversations. Since I was solo, I sat at the bar. I placed my order for takeout but decided to stay and the bartender quickly changed my order and set my area up at the bar w/ utensils. I ordered the falafel dinner and house truffle fries. The dinner had 3 falafel pieces which were flat versus the traditional round shape. it came in in a bed of hummus and drizzled with a garlic sauce. It came with grilled pita triangles which had a perfect char taste. The falafel was coked nicely and had a soft texture on the inside and crisp on the outside. The flavors were traditional. Let's talk about the truffle fries which can be risky. This was a shareable but if I was with others, I don't think I would share! They were so good with the right amount of truffle and cooked nicely. The price I paid for both was approx. $25 and was well worth it!!! Anytime you are in Purdue make your way to the East End Grill and be sure you order the fries!!!! You will not want to share it!!! read more

Loved the vibe of East End Grill. I was in town with my 16 year old daughter for a volleyball tournament and I let her choose our dinner spot on a Friday evening. We had a short 20-minute or so wait for our table, which was no problem as we took a short walk around the neighborhood. She ordered the cheeseburger and had asparagus ($2 upcharge) for her side. I had a 12 oz pork chop covered in a peach BBQ sauce. Sides were fingerling potatoes and grilled green beans. Wonderful meal. The drink menu looked interesting, but since I was there with my daughter, took a pass on it that night. I look forward to returning! read more

Pretty much every restaurant in town close at 9, East End Grill is one of the few that close at 10. Upscale restaurant with upscale prices. Reason I said that is because I only order Chicken puff pastry which is a fancy alternative of Chicken pot pie. It was $24. Taste no difference than the one from KFC, the puff pastry is better here. The tab ran up pretty quick with a house salad and a drink. read more

Stopped on the way to Chicago. From the reviews I knew I wanted to try the shrimp and grits. It was very good. But tried my husband's pastrami sandwich with fries and liked it as well ...if not more. We shared a cup of soup which was delicious. Decor and service both great. Recommend this place. Kristy was a attentive server. read more

First time here. Ambience was great. Service also great. Had the shrimp and grits. Later that night I was sick as hell. I should have called them the next day but was too worn out to even deal with it. Such a bummer. The 2 stars are for our server who was great. read more

Shout out to Austin from IT support, deciding my dinner order, and providing appropriate cutlery - 5/5 stars would recommend. Austin delivers on every front ! read more

Had a wonderful cocktail and burger here! Loved the vibes and aesthetic of the place, and the fact that they offer so many locally sourced options. The cherry limeade cocktail, pictured, was tart and tangy and sweet--just the right combo. The burger was classic and tasty and a good sized portion. I was happy with the pricing and the service as well. Street parking on this street and the surrounding block is easy and lots in the downtown area to check out after you've eaten! read more

Everything is excellent! I agree with others that this is the best steak house in town. Must try and don't miss it. Service was prompt and good! Love the ambiance, it's lively but not too loud. We can still carry out our normal conversation without yelling at each other. If you're visiting Purdue University, must stop by. However, reservation is highly recommended. read more

Got the steak frites with truffle fries. First of all I like the look of the dish presentation, but by the time I eat half of my fries it becomes hard to dig through the rest of it. The truffle fries were delicious at the first few bites, but when you eat more the greasy feeling of the truffle oil is a little too much. Asked for the steak to be cooked medium, it has been done well, but I'll say 6oz is a small portion. Overall the service was friendly and nice. read more

The food was excellent, enjoy the crab cakes as an appetizer. Had the burger and truffle fries and both were very good. Our waitress was also excellent, attentive and friendly. Atmosphere was great for a business lunch. Look forward to going back. read more

The East End Grill did not disappoint! Delicious fresh cut truffle fries . Just went for a beer and a snack. I can't wait to try more off the menu. Will definitely be back! read more

They have a lunch special steak and frites that is amazing it is so well prepared and portion is perfect! Our service has always been fantastic with the staff ready to answer questions and give recommendations that we have always found helpful. The inside is simple but seems elevated and offers many different options for seating. The outside patio is also great. We have nothing but the best dining experiences here and highly recommend, it is a bit pricey for dinner, but it's worth it!! read more

The Ambiance: there's a very hip and cool atmosphere. It has a mix of contemporary decor and art mixed with classic elements such as exposed brick and a lot of wood. It is also much more spacious than I thought. The Service: I often seem unapproachable out of survival habit so anytime I walk in a room I expect an amount of tension which was what I initially felt from the hosts but my waiter was very nice and energetic. The Food: they don't have an extensive menu which for most is not necessarily a bad thing. That fact that I don't eat beef or pork and only eat certain seafood and chicken limits my options everywhere. I went with the seafood pasta dish. It was a great portion size and perfectly flavored. There was nothing overpowering in taste. It tasted like a 72 degree slightly sunny but breezy day. Conclusion: My plate and a coke was $33 which may be slightly expensive but you're not just getting food here, you're getting an experience. This is the cool side of town. This is where you take a date or hang with close friends. Side note: It's also family friendly. The bar has its own designated section with two tv's. I WILL BE BACK!!! read more

Stopped in for a date night and I absolutely love this places. Its always great and great food from the specials to the desserts. You can tell the chef takes pride in there food, and makes sure everyone is happy. We had the truffle fries and the filet mignon with a side salad and mash potatoes. My husband had the shrimp and grits. We had the special dessert which was Tiramisu made in house and it was impeccable. Our server was Courtney and she was absolutely amazing. She was so inviting and just made the experience extra ordinary I will be back . read more

Let's start with service. Clay provided a cheerful and helpful experience. Very polite. We all enjoyed our meals. My 2 friends were 1st time visitors. I'm a local. My salmon burger and Caesar salad lunch was outstanding. My guests suggested we visit again next time they're in town. Ambiance pleasant, but unavoidably noisy due to interior design. Food and service more than make up for din. read more

What a great place. Great food, service and feel. Who would have thought you would get a great charcuterie board and steak in Lafayette? But they have it. One of our group raved about the ribs. and very reasonable. I cannot too strongly recommend the place! read more

Food was great and came out pretty quick! All the staff were so friendly and the ambiance is so nice for either day or night time. Portions were good. I had a hard time finishing my food. We ordered the pastrami melt with a side salad and the east end burger with a side of fries. I'm definitely coming back for the pastrami melt. The east end burger however was mid and I think we'd try something else next time. Everything else was great! Great for hanging out with friends, taking the family somewhere to eat (especially if anyone is visiting Purdue), and dates! But maybe not the most ideal for people with younger children. read more

Stopped in on our way to Chicago. Place was a very nice surprise. Very nice decor and ambiance. Was expecting something more bar like but it's actually quite nice with lots of natural wood. Also the tables are nicely spaced and you are not stacked on top of other people as so many places seem to do any more.... I had the pastrami while my wife had the shrimp and grits. Both were good but I liked my pastrami better. Service from Kristi C was quick and efficient and our waitress did a good job of balancing helpfulness without being intrusive. Would gladly eat here again next time I'm in the area. read more

Stopped in for Graduation weekend. Our server was very friendly, personable, and gave great recommendations. Got the ribs, truffle fries, and the flourless chocolate cake. Was delicious. The layout of the room was well designed and it made for a great celebration. Would 100% recommend this spot, and then go to the coffee shop right across the street after! read more

My family ate here after my sister's Purdue graduation ceremony and it was as expected VERY busy. We didn't mind the slower service as our waitress was amazing and still attentive, accurate with our order, and she was around my sister/I's age so adorable in personality/style. We sat outside which was way less chaotic than inside. I had an amaretto sour to drink which was 10/10 and we started with the truffle fries as an appetizer. Definitely a must try! Their fries are pretty unique in texture and addicting like chips. Everything we got was really good. My sister had a filet, my mom got the ahi tuna, my dad got a caesar salad, and I got the bbq rib basket (I probably wouldn't order again). read more
