I work for the nearby Mega-Corporation, so travel here 1-2 years, and I've eaten quite a few comp'ed meals here...it's a great American steak house, with noticably lower prices than my native San Diego! Elegant, romantic, luxurious but not pretentious because its South Carolina. Friendly professional service...and most importantly, the steaks come a side! $65 Beef Wellington...better than the one ate at a Gordon Ramsay Las Vegas restaurant. The puff pastry was warm and buttery, perfectly wrapping the tender juicy filet mignon inside, so good! $48 14oz New York Strip...an American classic! Thick, meaty, with a nice amount of char and marbling. I got the potato pancakes as a side, fully loaded with bacon, chives, butter, and sour cream, yum! $110 48oz Epic Tomahawk Long Bone Ribeye...it's humongous, generous, and epic! The steak had a perfectly marbling fat content, for a deeper, rich buttery and beefy flavor so good! It's expensive but could be shared between 2-3 people...worth it! All the sides are spectacular...mac n cheese, baked potato, cream spinach, etc. But definitely get the desserts! The cake and key lime pie are to die for! read more

Epic Chophouse... Was not my first visit to the epic chophouse as we've been there several times before. The first concern was parking all they offer VIP parking which takes up some of the closest spaces to their business. We parked approximately 1/4 mile away and walked. More parking would be appreciated. The service was excellent with no issues. Our server was kind, offered suggestions and professional. The meal was ok, where I had a ribeye and my wife had the sirloin. It was nothing spectacular but ok. I was hoping for an excellent steak but it didn't live up to my expectations. The ribeye is my favorite cut of meet and there is always fat that gives it flavor but the tail of my ribeye had excessive fat. Both steaks were cooked med-rare and it was cooked to order. The creamed spinach was good and my wife ordered a side of potato cakes. The potato cakes came out cool, not warm and my only taste was of pan grease. The French onion soup was excellent. This meal was jot up to par from other trips to the Epic Chophouse and was off on this night. The occasion was for our 36th anniversary. Not a normal visit but ok. read more

Food is okay for fine dining, great presentation and enough variety however the service is not up to fine dining standards. 1) reorders on drinks (especially cocktails) should be refilled or at least asked about. We had to request additional drinks and water 2) no bread service? 3) party of 6 and several items took forever to arrive which made everyone wait and then food was like warm 4) more valet parking attendant or state in your reservation tool, limited valet service. read more

Celebrated my dad's birthday this past Saturday at Epic Chophouse. It was absolutely amazing from start to finish! The food was incredible, the atmosphere was beautiful especially that wine wall, and the service made the experience even better. Tiffany was our waitress and she was outstanding, attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect throughout the night. She truly went above and beyond and made us feel so welcomed. Definitely one of the best dining experiences I've had, and I can't wait to come back! read more

I suggested this place to celebrate my son's birthday... Surprisingly, even on a weeknight, the place was packed. Luckily, we made RSVP in advance, so was able to slide into one of their cramped seats. In any case, we started with their appetizer special, Shanghai Shrimp (their version of Bang Bang Shrimp), which was really good...but really a small portion for the $17 pricing. Think we actually had this the first time we were here too. For entrees, my son got Steak Frittes, my husband ordered this BBQ Chicken dish (forgot the name), and I got their Epic Parmigiana with Linguine. Well, unfortunately, I wasn't a fan of my dish...it was too heavy on the red sauce...and the Chicken Parmigiana was too thick. The portions were huge though. I definitely liked what I had the first time here much more...thought their Short Rib was solid! Think the highlight for me was the drink I ordered...this Toasted Coconut Martini. I know more and more restaurants are skipping on complimentary bread service, but it's something that's quite disappointing. They did offer a nice birthday card for my son, but frankly, I expected a bit more hospitality for his birthday. BTW, our server was fine, but wasn't particularly attentive. Like I mentioned, I was the one that recommended this restaurant for the special occasion...but frankly, I'm just not sure if this is a good place to celebrate special occasions. Although I like their diverse menu, I'm on the fence with the ambiance. While the setting itself is nice (I love the contempo "alcohol" paintings on the wall), and the Frank Sinatra overhead (though very muted and mumbled!), there's definitely something offputting. For one, the acoustics is so loud, it's kind of hard to talk to each other...and by the time we left, I almost had a headache. Secondly, I hate their harsh lighting. It's very dark, then this lamp causing this harsh stage lighting?!? I felt like I was in some "Rocky Horror Picture Show". Just not a comfy or cozy vibe at all. Also, near impossible to take a decent picture of the foods with the harsh lighting. Lastly, I'm just not a fan of their cramped, half-booth seatings. This is the second time we ended up in one of their tight half-booths (despite my request for a 4x4 table). There are only a few full tables...and I feel sure they reserve those for their favorite, regular guests. As much as I THOUGHT I liked the place the first time, I left not liking the place this time. Who knows...maybe we'll return one day to try something else on the menu, but I won't be itching to run back here anytime soon. I'll also probably try to sit in their patio areas instead...since I can't stand the acoustics, harsh lighting and the half-booths inside. read more

A first class restaurant. This was our choice for dinner tonight. We wanted to keep it a little on the casual side so we sat at the bar. The bartender was very engaging and very helpful with drink and food suggestions. My colleague chose a craft beer and I went with a four roses old-fashioned. The bartender made my drink to perfection. I went on the lighter side for dinner choosing the soup and salad option. I went with the French onion soup and the iceberg epic lettuce wedge. On the salad, beside the iceberg lettuce were bacon, bits, tomatoes, and Dutch blue cheese chunks. You don't get much here, but what you do get is fresh and tasty. Loved the French onion soup though I'm not a huge fan of onions so I don't eat them. I know, that's no way to get the full "French onion soup" experience but,, I did enjoy it. The soup wasn't super salty, but the cheese was nice and "cheesy". read more

Beef Wellington OK, let me step back for a moment. I'm not the best person these days to review steakhouses. Perhaps because I grew up on a farm eating our own steak routinely, perhaps because I've had more than my share of business dinners at steakhouses during my career or perhaps because I can no longer eat a pound of beef with sides and walk away feeling well (or walk away, period), they no longer hold any thrill for me. They all seem to have similar decor, same white tablecloths, sorry but I've seen that same wine closet a hundred times, and similar menus. I fully understand why many people love steakhouses and that's great. Basically though, we're over one another. But Beef Wellington. I've previously had this dish twice in my entire life, both as part of memorable holiday occasions. My wife asked where I wished to eat for my birthday, someplace nice, I was scanning menus and saw at Epic Chophouse an individual sized Wellington. I had to try it. So how was it? Almost, almost ideal. My first bites of the filet, coated with duxelles and wrapped in a pastry were wonderful. The flavors melded, the meat melted in my mouth. But as I dug in I found that the Wellington was slightly undercooked. The center meat was very red, just beyond rare which I actually don't mind. But some of the pastry was still just a bit doughy. Overall though a good attempt at a very difficult dish, a solid B+. The remainder of our meal was fine but yes, so typical of standard steakhouses. The meat (including seafood) is premium, the serving sizes are very large, the wine list is solid, the service is attentive. Thank you, takeout bag. (PS - I was dubious but my remaining half of the Wellington warmed up terrifically the next day in the air fryer. Still medium-rare, it was perhaps even better as a leftover.) read more

I'm honestly really disappointed writing this because I have recommended this restaurant to so many people over the past couple of months. I've always raved about the lamb chops, the drinks, the ambiance, and the service. Personally, I have never had a bad meal or experience here -- which is why I felt confident encouraging a coworker to book for Valentine's Day. Unfortunately, her experience was not the same. She and her fiancé made a standard reservation but were told upon arrival that they could only order from the Valentine's Day special menu. That was unexpected and a bit disappointing since they were looking forward to trying items from the regular menu. Her fiancé enjoyed his meal, but she ordered the stuffed chicken and described it as absolutely horrible -- completely lacking seasoning and flavor. For a special occasion, especially Valentine's Day, that was really disappointing. I'm sharing this because consistency matters. My past experiences have been wonderful, but it seems that on high-volume nights with limited menus, the quality may not reflect what the restaurant is normally capable of. I truly hope this was just an off night because I've always loved this place and want to continue recommending it with confidence. They spent $300. Please see confirmation to confirm their total. read more

Had a very nice time at Epic for a night out overall. Firstly, the food was truly the shining star. We ordered the cheese toast as a starter. Tasty without being too heavy. For mains we had the epic burger with Brussel sprouts side, and the smokin hot couple which is three filet medallions and Cajun shrimp. We asked for rare, which many restaurants claim to offer but usually get medium rare. Epic truly delivered rare and both were delicious. We split key lime pie for dessert, which was not too sweet, and the lime was very refreshing. Waiter was speedy, knowledgeable, and had great recommendations. The ambiance in the room was also very nice. Where it was darkly lit overall, each table had bright smaller lights which made it easy to see my husband and our menus clearly. Added intimacy despite being packed for dinner. Only downside was the front of house staff. We had made reservations inside and were initially seated outside. We asked right away to be moved and were met with an eye roll. Then as we were waiting to figure out our next seat the front staff just stood around gossiping and laughing. Not quite the caliber experience compared to the rest of the staff or the night. read more

I loved this place! 10/10 service, food & great ambiance....cherry lemon drops are dangerously good, taste like a popsicle. Bang bang shrimp was delicious, calamari was okay. Ribeye was cooked to perfection and the mashed potatoes are amazing. Omg and the star of the show French onion soup 100/100, so YUMMY! Our server William was a sweetheart, so attentive. He prayed with our table at the end and also called me because my necklace fell somehow and he waited for me to come back for it. AN ANGEL! I can't wait to be back!!! read more

This was an amazing experience! The food was absolutely fantastic. I got the chicken pasta and it was so creamy and filling. The service was a little slow because of a big event. The decor was beautiful. There was these cute lights that we are getting for our house. I will be coming back. I also my cousin gave my 5 dollars to eat a lemon peel. LETS GOOOO. read more

Love epic and is a go to for celebrations or a date night! Sit at the bar grab an app and some wine!

You can't go wrong with choosing Epic. We were told there wasn't a wait when we called but found out otherwise when we arrived. But Joshua made up for it. He was amazing. Hubby started with an Old Fashioned and said it was good; he's critical. I always have the Hess Cabernet Sauvignon because I typically get steak. But Joshua threw a monkey wrench in my plan when he described the specials. I couldn't resist the Chilean Sea Bass special with lump crab and butter cream sauce atop spinach. Please please keep that on the menu! It was fabulous...buttery and flavorful. I chose the cabbage as my side dish. It was reminiscent of my late grandmother's well-seasoned cabbage. We are ending the night with an espresso martini! read more

The servers were wonderful although our meal was not timely and our drink refills were not so much. In their defense it was a large group of about 35. I love this restaurant and their desserts are excellent and HUGE! But last night I had possibly the worse cut of meat I have ever had at a restaurant. Even lesser cuts I have grilled at home. While large, it was grizzly so that I couldn't even cut it and finally gave up. The mashed potatoes were good so I left hungry. My friend ordered the salmon and it was great! Just extremely disappointing to eat at such a lovely restaurant and get grizzle for your entree. read more

Food, services, ambience excellent. Great and Fully recommend, 100% I will be back. Thanks.

We moved to the area about a year ago and have been to Epic Chophouse about 10 times. All visits delivered very solid food and excellent service. On our last three visits, we were privileged enough to have Joshua as our server (the last two by request). I can say without hesitation he delivers welcoming and extremely professional service and has a masterful command of the menu and anticipates our every need. Perhaps the best service we've ever received in any restaurant. read more

Great atmosphere and decent food. However, slow and not great service. Pay attention on what you order and what you get... we ordered a bone-in NY but got a none bone-in and didn't realize until the end... NO APOLOGIES from the server or manager! In addition, no specialty for birthday celebrations... Next time, we would prefer a server with more passion with the job! read more

Excellent food and service! I have been here serval times and enjoyed many menu items including - wedge salad, French onion soup, steak, pasta, burger and short ribs! Every item was delicious! read more

The food was very good. The service was great and the staff were all professional. When we arrived, some of our party hadn't arrived so we were seated at the bar until everyone arrived. We had to have at least 12 of our 14 patrons at the restaurant before we could be seated. We were seated outside as it was a great afternoon and the temp was perfect. Kiona was our server and she was professional, she remembered our orders and was knowledgeable about the menu. There was another server that came to assist in taking orders for faster service. They were dressed neatly and gave service with a smile. We had a large birthday party so gratuity of 20% was automatically added to our bills. Two of the guests in our party had to return their entrees because the steaks weren't prepared to their liking and the bill doubled the entrees but was deducted. There was a mistake because the bill charged the gratuity on the incorrect amount. Once we brought it to our server's attention she had management promptly correct the error. We greatly appreciated that. I'd return. It was a busy Saturday evening but we definitely enjoyed ourselves. read more

My wife and I went to Epic tonight for the first time. We didn't have reservations but got lucky and sat at the bar. The place was packed. But immediately upon walking in we were hit by the upscale, calm vibe. Almost candle lit. The bartenders were super helpful and gave us time to choose our cocktails and food. My wife had a gin martini extra dirty with blue cheese stuffed olives I had the McAllen 12 yr neat. Perfection! Our orders were simple. French onion soup and fried oysters Rockefeller. The soup was very good with generation portions of cheese. The oysters were the BEST I've ever had ! And the cost was very reasonable. I cannot wait to go back with my family and reserve a table and order a full meal. I could see by the filets that were delivered to the people next to us that they were cooked to perfection! We will definitely be back soon and I highly recommend epic! read more

I have never been so disappointed wow service was awful. Steak was covered in sauce and butter. It has never been like that in the past. I've ordered this so many times this time the food was gross. So disappointing...thanks again to Charlotte for destroying something that was really really good. read more

I can't go 5 stars so a sold 4 is realistic. I went here for a milestone birthday celebration with six others. We had a 730p reservation on a Friday evening. I liked the complimentary valet parking option, right at the front door. It's decorated the way you would expect a fine dining steak house to be. For appetizers we had calamari, wagyu meat balls & the grilled shrimp. It's a steak/chophouse so you have a large selection of meat options. I was thinking surf & turf but sadly, fewer choices here. I had the 12 oz filet with baby lobster tail and added the wedge salad and roasted veggies. There was almost a 45 minute wait for our appetizers. I also liked their $15 corkage fee when you bring your own wine. The service was dreadfully slow even though we were all having a great experience by the time we all ordered and got our food, it was 845p. We had one server and I know she had other tables. Everyone seemed to enjoy their food and the GM came over to our table to wish me a Happy Bday. By the time we finished it was 945p and no one ordered dessert. The food quality was good, I didn't hear anyone complain about their meal but everyone was ready to go by that time. I noticed nearly every table was full and the patio was packed as well. If you have a large group, I would recommend an early reservation, especially on the weekend. read more

It is pricey, but worth it pricey!, Sat promptly, beautiful place, our server JT was great, he did everything right, artesian breads were fabulous, especially the cranberry, lobster bisque had large pieces of lobster, salad was fresh, wifes chicken parm was not only huge but very good, my Wellington was super tasty and cooked perfectly (Gordon Ramsey would approve!) I'm not generally a cheesecake fan, but damn!.... Just wow! Only slight not perfect was for birthday, nicer places usually had a little piece of cake for you, they all did acknowledge birthday and gave me a nice card. read more

This was my first and last time dining at Epic Chophouse. The Service, drinks (cherry lemon drop= cough syrup) and food were all horrible. Unfortunately the very pleasant waitress assisting us was in training and her trainer lacked server etiquette and communication (Eddie). Patronize at your own risk. There are far too many area restaurants that offer an overall better experience (Webb's Custom Kitchen, Steak 48, Eddie V's, etc.) read more

Patio service, very loud, went 30 min without seeing our server- fish & steak were very good, but Shrimp was average quality.

Unfortunately my wife and I had an unforgettable experience at the Epic Chophouse's Kingsley location: After being seated in their "VERY CROWD" dining area another waitress inadvertently dropped the contents on her serving tray on my wife. ACCIDENTS DO HAPPEN. Although the MANAGER'S RESPONSE was surprisingly pathetic and unapologetic. When I questioned his concerned for my wife's wellbeing he hollered "WHAT DO YOU EXPECT ME TO DO". I replied first and most importantly "AN APOLOGY" secondly a relocation to a safer area. However with her head sore, her hair wet and her clothing soiled she was NO LONGER interested in dining. Also frustrating and very embarrassing was the implication that we were expecting some type of compensation. Which was never implied or requested. It would be remiss if I didn't mention, their oversetting arrangement is probably to maximise sales, unfortunately it's almost impossible for the servers to navigate through the restaurant without (as they put it) "these things happening". GOOD LUCK DINING THERE! read more

Visited for a birthday shenanigan. Needed to make reservation because it does get packed for a Thursday night. We opted for outside because it was already packed inside for a 6:30pm dinner. Wes was our waiter and he was wonderful. I ordered the Sage 12 and my friend order the old fashioned. Which was good and nicely priced. For apps: we had the cheese toast and crab critters. I enjoyed both of them. For main course: I had the Ribeye. It's a little salty on the outer layer. However, the steak was nicely done. I ordered the roasted veggies with I never got. Guess he didn't hear me or got confused. I just leave it with the baked potatoes. To finish the night off. I had the best crème brûlée. Nicely done and very creamy. Perfect dessert to end the night. Definitely a good place to go for a celebration. read more

Okay , lately I have been so disappointed in chain steakhouses. The steaks get thinner and thinner and nothing is the same. I found this place while working in Rock Hill SC. What a find! When you dine here you feel like a king! I love the French Onion Soup with three cheeses melted on top of the rich flavorful thick onion soup with the bread soaked in the goodness. The Steaks are tasty ( I had the 401 Ribeye) Tonight I had birthday dessert : the cheesecake and one bit and I'm hooked .. it's soo creamy ( rivals New York cheesecake at Juniors in Brooklyn) . I'm not kidding this place is special . Save room for the cheesecake and let me know how much you like it, or anyone of my other recommendations. Enjoy good food! read more

First time diner: bartender great! (didn't get his name) Server Alan was great! Food was very good. We shared two of their best steaks. (4 people) the kitchen was kind enough to slice them for sharing. French onion soup was deemed very good by our French onion soup expert wives. The fries were killer!!! The restaurant is very attractive as well. Well done Epic! read more

Epic has been our go to "special event" restaurant since we moved to Fort Mill in 2021. We have never had a bad dining experience here, the food has always been superb, the service impeccable and the restaurant has the perfect atmosphere for any celebration. My husband and I chose Epic last night for our anniversary dinner. Luke was our server and went above and beyond to give us a wonderful dining experience. For our appetizer we shared the Shanghai Shrimp, an Epic "special" that we both hope never stops being a special because it is so delicious. I had the Sea Bass sauté for my entree, while my husband finally, after wanting to try it many times but always going with something else, ordered the Flaming Hot Couple (he loved it) read more

Super late review! I was traveling for work (July 2022), and my team members at work selected Epic Chophouse Kingsley for dinner. According to their website, Epic Chophouse's goal is to become the top local favorite in Fort Mill for anyone seeking to enjoy exquisite dining, relax at the bar, or indulge in a special celebration. I tried the following: - Bone In Ribeye - my manager's boss recommended this... er, voluntold me to order it because it was THAT GOOD. LOL. I ordered it cooked to RARE, obviously. - Glazed Mushrooms - Creme Brulee - Blueberry Lemondrop Cocktail Food, drinks, and dessert were delicious!!

Disappointing. Arrived 15 mins early for a dining room table reservation. Told to grab a drink at the bar and we will come get you when your table is ready, no problem. Enjoyed a glass of wine till we noticed it was 10 mins after our reservation so went up to the hostess stand to inquire. They said go ahead and cash out and we will seat you. Apparently, they can't just add your bar drinks to the table. Despite three bar tenders working we waited 20 mins to cash out! Finally we were ready to be seated, but the only thing available was outside. Made our displeasure known to the waiter but there was nothing they could do unless we wanted to wait another 30+ mins. We ordered drinks, appetizers and mains. Mains were delivered while we were still finishing up our appetizers. The quality of the food was good, but I expect much better service from this caliber restaurant. Very disappointing evening. read more
