    Chicken Caesar Salad
    Shelby B.

    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!!

    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.

    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

    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

    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.

    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.

    House Truffle Fries

    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!!!

    BBQ Pork Chop
    Kent B.

    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!

    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.

    Fresh flowers and adorable decor

    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.

The food quality consistently shines, with the burgers earning high praise for their robust flavor and perfect preparation. Accompanying the mains, the french fries are impeccably crispy and seasoned, providing the ideal side. But the undeniable stars of the show are the mozzarella cheese sticks - they are nothing short of amazing, boasting a golden crunch and gooey, savory interior that exemplifies comfort food at its best. As a cornerstone of the local dining scene for decades, Digby's expertly balances classic pub traditions with modern culinary execution, making every bite a delight. Service at Digby's is commendably efficient and friendly, ensuring a pleasant visit without unnecessary delays, even when the atmosphere buzzes with live music, which adds an excellent touch for both locals and tourists. Parking is remarkably easy to find, alleviating any pre-dinner stress. While Digby's focuses on an adult-oriented experience and does not cater to younger children with highchairs, it excels at providing a lively and enjoyable setting for its intended demographic. The overall positive energy and seamless logistics contribute to a top-tier pub outing. Must-order: Definitely get the mozzarella sticks. I will be back!

    The Bryant is a solid, mid-to-high tier spot that delivers the look, feel, food, and service…read morequality I usually associate with larger cities. Everything was excellent. The space looks great, it's clean, and the staff is genuinely friendly. Service was very fast, even with multiple large groups in the room. Noise was completely reasonable. If anything, it may feel "a little loud" to someone whose baseline is the quieter side of the Lafayette-area dining scene, but compared to bigger-city restaurants it was fully fine and well within what I'd expect. Overall, The Bryant would fit right in in a market like Oklahoma City, Dallas, New York, or Pittsburgh and wouldn't feel out of place at all. Highly recommended.

    A few locals recommended this restaurant, so I thought I would give it a try while I was passing…read morethrough. Upon entering, I was promptly seated, and the decor and atmosphere are stunning. I thought I was underdressed, but the dress code seems pretty casual. Water was served in a cold milk bottle. I could not decide what to order; everything on the menu looked absolutely delicious. The menu described the items well, and when I asked the wait staff for their preference or any recommendations, she told me five different favorite items that are often ordered, which was nice, but was not what I asked. I finally decided on the strawberry-and-brie cheeseburger. I ordered it medium well with fries. I was really disappointed in the French fries; they tasted old and cold, and when I cut into the hamburger, it was bloody. I sent the burger back, and this time they brought it out well done. The staff argued that it was medium well, with blood coming out of it. And before anybody thinks I'm confusing the strawberry jam on the burger with bloody pink meat, please see the picture. Upon receiving the new burger, which was cooked well done, I found it to be very good. It was tasty and juicy. As I was finishing my meal, a young family came in, and their child was making a lot of noise. A gentleman told them that if the child did not calm down, they would have to go outside. When the family tried to speak with the gentleman further, he continued walking away and did not stop to answer questions. I was not sitting close to this table, and yet I heard the gentleman talking to the young couple. Had I not already received my food and been getting ready to leave, I would have gotten up and gone with the couple in support. I understand setting standards, especially when the restaurant is bustling, but at this point, as a server, I could only observe two other tables in the entire restaurant, and one of them was preparing to leave. If I ever returned to this area, this restaurant would not be one I would return to.
