    a parking lot with parked cars
    Steven L.

    Well, I was going to review while I was in the restaurant but could not get Internet signal. Anyway, look at our pictures of our dinner. I got pork chops because of other reviews and am glad I did. It looked and taste like two thick steaks when they brought it to me. I was very happy with the way it taste as it was as close to perfect as a pork chop can be. It was moist and juicy yet very tender. My friend got New York Strip steak. Look at picture I took. Now that is a good steak. She enjoyed it and she is very picky. And if she likes a steak that a restaurant cooks, then they have done a great job. This is a hidden gem of East Ridge, TN. We found this after shopping at SAMs Club. We wanted to go to a restaurant that we have never been to and Yelp took us here. Superb restaurant, wished we live closer.

    Pork Choo and mac & cheese and mashed potatoes
    Stephanie T.

    I really don't know how to accurately depict my experience at Epicurean Restaurant. I know I've been curious about this place since I moved to Chattanooga. What was this place exactly? A great friend took me to dinner here and she loves this place. Said they had the best pork chops. So off we went. First of all, this is a favorite place of the Early Bird diners, if you get my drift. LOL. Nothing wrong with that at all, and hey, everyone loves to have their favorite comfort food and reasonable prices. My friend ordered the pork chop dinner, which comes with two pretty big chops. I ordered a veggie plate and then we were able to share our dinners that way. First they give you this cheesy phyllo dough thingy that was very tasty. The pork chops were very good indeed. I would definitely go back and order that again. The sides were a bit odd to me. The mash potatoes had a strange taste to them and they were heavily salted. I couldn't eat them. The coleslaw was good, as was the mac & cheese, though they use some sort of cottage cheese or something like that in it to make it soft and pudding-texture like. I have to say this was one of those unique dining experiences that I'm still not sure how I feel about it, but one I won't forget.

    Mmmm Mmmmmmm .. great potato

They were okay, but for 5 bucks...what do you expect?‍. I would say the accompanying butter was supposed to be honey butter, but it seemed like regular butter to me! The server was polite, but I was scratching my head because she started with---"Let me go see what's not available anymore." Shouldn't she have done that before speaking to us?? The atmosphere is relaxed, but there isn't much to the decor. It was just casual.... there was brown butcher paper on top of white table cloths...kind of tacky really. It was busy, however, which added to the noise. Hubby and I both ordered the 1885 burger. Now, we are talkin'! The burger was delicious! . It was juicy and tasty. Just an all around fantastic burger. This alone is what will bring me and hubby back. The loaded baked potato was standard, but good too.

It was also a beautiful day so we sat on the patio. I love that they work with local organizations for fresh vegetables and meat! Our waiter was very nice and fairly attentive. But the food... For the good - the crab cake was delicious. It was like all crab meat with no filler and was very tasty. The pimento cheese was also SO yummy. You could tell it was made fresh and had a great flavor. The pita it came with was fine, a little over-grilled. I was not crazy about the fried okra. I wish the pieces weren't just cut in half, because to me they had that slimy okra texture inside. My gf said they weren't THAT bad, but I really had to push myself to eat them. The rosemary fries have a great flavor and were crispy (I prefer thicker fries but my gf enjoyed these). I LOVE mac and cheese and was super excited to try theirs. It was very creamy and had a good flavor but there was way too much cheese for the amount of noodles. Like the ratio was pretty off. Now for THE issue. My gf ordered the Filet Mignon, medium. It came raw and without the blue cheese compound butter. By the time the waiter came to check on us, I was half done eating. He took the steak to be put back on the grill and brought it back with a bowl of crumbled blue cheese. It was still raw inside. He brought us extra fries, but by the time it came back I was done eating. She asked for it to go and it was STILL RAW. She had cut it, so it was super obvious if you looked. The manager came and talked to us and they took it off the bill, but for a $40 filet mignon it should not take 3 tries to cook it right and it still not really be right. She said there are cold spots on the grill and they're training a new line cook, but it was not a good look... I'd maybe give more of a pass if they were packed, but there was no one eating inside and maybe two other tables of folks outside.

In the end I ordered 3 things bc I was dining solo: -Hummus with crudité (veggies instead of bread) -Fattoush - seasonal ingredients. -Red Snapper - about 3oz so small portion but perfectly cooked and flavored. Loved this. I very much wanted the knafeh dessert but I knew the portion was big and didn't want to be miserable and waste it. They have a nice non-alcoholic menu with some interesting drinks as well. Overall - perfect final meal in town and I can't wait to come back with my husband and try even more!

The patio is huge, with covered sections and outdoor heaters that kept us comfortable even when the weather turned rainy.
