    Waiting for our food! Love these booths
    Kathleen L.

    Today we were in the area and decided to stop in for lunch. It has been a year since we left a review. The dining room is the same and very clean! The person who took our order was really nice and professional as always! I ordered the 1/2 slab of ribs it came with a side salad, a 6" piece of corn on the cob, and fries which I upgraded to the baked potato for $1 more. The baked potato was quartered and a huge potion size so definitely worth the extra $1. The 1/2 slab of ribs had about 7 bones... so you got a decent amount! My husband ordered the Italian beef and added Provolone cheese for 65 cents which was well worth it! I posted a video for each of our food items. We loved our food and would definitely order it again!

    Country bowl - A black takeout container holds shredded beef topped with melted cheese, crispy fried onions, and gravy, typical of a comfort food dish.

    Its always a hit or miss here. I got a italian beef . The bun was hard like stale. Not enough beef on it. When i say that its bad because i usually take some off. Im sorry should never have a stale bun for any sandwiches why serve that. Even dipping it in extra au just didn't help. The fries were different then last time too. Didn't care for them. I really want to like them

    inside was clean

    Interesting concept. I had loaded baked potato - son had one of their bowls. Potato was undercooked and a bit hard - cheese sauce was flavorless. Bowl came with fries and instead of a bowl felt more like loaded fries. Beef patty tasted odd. Would most likely would give it another go,

    Skirt Steak Sandwich - A beef sandwich with a toasted bun, partially unwrapped from paper, showing the meat filling inside.

    I got the skirt steak sandwich and a side of mashed potatoes. The mashed potatoes were a little disappointing. Tasted like a box mix and could have used some salt, BUT THE SKIRT STEAK omg it was so good i highly recommend it. I wish I lived closer cause I would if I would get it often.

    A Salad, balsamic vinegar, with side of chicken kabab - A takeout salad with grilled chicken, vegetables, and dressing is on a table outside, accompanied by fries, a soda, and a drink.

    Excellent quality real food here. Highly recommend the A Salad with balsamic vinegar and a chicken kabab side, you can't go wrong! Will be back!!

    The Country Bowl, but I swapped out the fries for mashed potatoes.  YUM!

    Well, I shot my diet to hell. I guess it should not come as a surprise to me - eating at a place called Meat and Potato. But I am a meat and potato kinda guy, so I had to try it. And I'm so glad I did! I had the country bowl, which was pot roast, gravy, crispy onions, and shredded parmesan. On the menu, it is served over a bed of fries, but I tweaked it, and had them serve it over mashed potatoes. I really enjoyed it, and highly recommend swapping out the fries for mashed potatoes. This is a fast-food restaurant, but it is high-quality food. The restaurant was clean, and service was fast and friendly. I will definitely be back (I'll just have to make sure I hit the gym afterwards).

    Worst gyros I have ever had in my life. Meat is thick chunks of cubes. Then the sauce was just heavily scooped on top. This gyros was completely inedible and met the trash can. Called the shop to voice my displeasure and I was offered a replacement, I told them I will pass as I don't trust food after a complaint. Highly recommend not eating here if a basic gyros cannot be made.

    Gyro tasty with lots of meat
    Amanda G.

    Staff was fabulous, friendly and just good. Food was tasty and good portions. The fries were fresh. Friends first time. He enjoyed it and said he will go back. We had a gyro , and a beef sandwich chili cheese fries and reg fries.

    I had the hotdog

    Not bad but nothing special either. I've had better gyros from the food truck at Lily lake.

    Normally don't like giving bad reviews. Hopefully was on off day but I've had many gyro sandwiches. Unfortunately this was not up to par.

    Way too expensive for crappy food. You could go to a nice sit down restaurant for the same price!

    The waffle fries are the best in the area. Also I highly suggest the meatball sandwich!

    Super fun place. Great menu- lots of options. Delicious food. Service prompt and friendly.read more

    I don't know what I was expecting from Epic Deli, but it was not a compact remix of Dave-n-Busters…read more I might order from there again, but I will never eat there again. Epic relies heavily on the video game machines to hold the weight of a decor, while the table tops you sit at are one giant billboard ad filled with QR codes. The walls seem to have band type memorabilia hung from years ago when they all were in their prime, along with ads for local festivals that you would never see because there is so much going on with the walls, the table tops, and the signage that is wrapping the standing video games to show what game it is. Overall, the food is solid. Out of everything I ordered I would say the cheese curds were really done well.. I'm not into cheese cards per se, but I've noticed that in this particular area being so close to Wisconsin that the quality of cheese curd is important to customers that seek out this appetizer specifically. Because I ordered cheese curds I did not want french fries with my sandwich. I found the alternatives offered for sides were overall not appealing, and I couldn't substitute cheese curds for an extra fee.. I got the Italian pasta as a side and it was disappointing.. I got the Soul man as my sandwich. I don't know if I'm just used to Jimmy John's., or if I just don't like the bread that epic uses to make their sandwiches. I felt like I was biting into my pillow and not an actual fresh chunk of bread. One impressive thing I noticed about their sandwiches.... They travel well and stand up to being a solid left over.. I was only able to eat half of my sandwich. On the next day by sandwich tasted exactly the same, which is something I cannot say of any other sandwich shop that makes sub sandwiches.. There's a lot to sift through when it comes to the menu. I would eat here again, but I don't have this excitement towards eating here like most of the locals were excited when epic deli finally had a location out in this area.. My advice would be to order to go unless you appreciate retro video games. I can only imagine what that place is like after 5 PM.

    Updated my review with pictures of the best tuna subs in town. During Lent, it was a blessing. Love…read morethe music as well!!!! Love this place!! My favorite Tuna of all time. The staff is always so nice. The ambiance is cute and charming. The service is speedy with a great attention to quality. Their sandwiches are excellent. From the tuna, to the Donald J to the Perricone.. I am going to try their paninis next. And then move on to this "Let's go Brandon" . I love the way they run their business. How they see what is truly going in America. DONT BACK DOWN. And DONT GIVE INTO THE DESTRUCTION OF OUR COUNTRY. First amendment is always key. And always remember that these leftists think they are the majority but they're just little insecure sheep. The restaurant is extremely clean. I have read the negative and positive reviews and the negative ones aren't based on any sort of facts just based on the fact that Perricone's is owned by conservatives and the leftists in our area don't like it. We are many, and the leftists know it. If you have a chance to stop on by this sandwich shop, make sure you also try their soups!!! I forgot to mention those above!!! They are so worth it! My only regret is that I bought a very small serving and didn't have any left for lunch the next day!!! I wish Perricone's would actually claim this business on Yelp so they can see how many people in the area actually applaud them!!!

    This place never disappoints. Ordered the All American- lil guy online and it was ready when I got…read morethere. Sandwich was fresh and service was great.
