"They had no diet soft drinks. I did not see any adults working there. Food was not as good as in years past."

"We went on a Saturday afternoon and it was not busy and we told the waiter we were in a time crunch. Well we realized 20 minutes later he didn't even put our order in the system and continued to take drink orders and other tables orders and put them all in the system at once! The kid behind the bar was on his cell the whole time. I realize they have changed..." Read more

"This was the worst take-out food I have ever ordered. The portions were small. My daughter ordered a large ceasar salad with chicken. She was not even half filled with ceasar salad and a piece of whole chicken breast on the side. She added inlettuce to the salad. The hand-held sandwiches, (chicken) were served on soft, soggy potato rolls. not the rolls desc..." Read more

"Their pulled pork is good but they insist on including a truly horrendous gloppy coke slaw."

"There were 11 of us on Sunday 10/2, one of whom was vegan. Despite the menu having a "ve" code for vegan food, there was none. My son in law had to make a special request and the waiter didn't know what was vegan and thankfully asked. The bloody Mary's were terrible but the manager gave us new ones and removed them from the bill. The kitchen was out of Brie..." Read more

"Outdoor seating over looks a parking lot - car traffic and exhaust came with dinner. Our table was near a smelly trash can. The food was not tasty. Super bready and very bland. Servers were nice. Nothing on the menu I'd go back for."

"Service was fantastic. Food was pretty great (so we thought). The next day, my husband & I were sick all morning long. We didn't go anywhere or do anything after we ate here the night before, so we don't believe it was anything else. The food was genuinely very good, just not worth being sick the very next day."

"First of all I didn't know they were BYOB so I was very disappointed not to get a cocktail on a Fri night after work. Friend and I decided to get two different kinds of sliders. I got short rib ones and boy were they were greasy! I needed to use fork since I couldn't pick up the slider roll. My friend said crab cake ones were ok but they had better elsew..." Read more

"I appreciate all they have done to address covid. The personal outdoor tents are outstanding! My husband and I just don't like the food. We both had a bad meal on our first visit. Our sandwiches were dry and boring. For the quality and innovation, this place is over-priced."

"This is our third time to the restaurant . The food has always been good but the service very slow . Never left a review bc it's a new restaurant and was giving it some time to work out the kinks . However tonight was ridiculous . I am leaving two stars bc my risotto with shrimp was actually really good . Everything else not so much . They weren't that busy..." Read more

"Wow, talk about disappointed. Heard a lot of great things about this place. Definitely appreciated the BYOB alcohol approach. The dinner was bad. The lollipop lamb chops were overdone and quite thin. To their credit they trying to do a sautéed calamari, but unfortunately the effort was ill-fated and pretty bland. Lots of apologies which I appreciate but does..." Read more

"A large group of us (30+)went to Epicurean Garage Wednesday night and I'm sorry to say I was very disappointed. We have a monthly dinner at various restaurants in the area and we are always looking for something new. When I saw the menu on line I thought; this looks great! But it was not. Our group arrived and were seated at a large table. More of us showe..." Read more

"Service was very attentive & management was out & about and checking in. Food came out timely & was mostly very good. My husbands steak was severely underdone & had to be sent back. They brought out a second one and waiter said "if it's not cooked right again, I'll buy the steak myself" and waited while my husband cut into it. Well, again it was very raw, n..." Read more

"I found this place to be just so confusing. You sit at a bar where they really can't serve you alcohol. It's nice they're willing to give complimentary beer or wine, but I expected a nice beer list from a place that advertises beer in its logo. We sat at the bar where the expo window is easily visible, and we unfortunately witnessed an employee stand at the..." Read more

"Was disappointed no liquor license. Wings were actually tasty and pretty good size. Mac & cheese no real flavor and otherwise food underwhelming and overpriced. Beautiful interior though and staff was extremely nice and friendly."

"I came as a single, no one waited on me until I looked for someone. I asked for fries as an appetizer and they came out with the meal and cold. No silverware and my seasonal salad was ok. Won't ever come back."

"Save your money. First of all, the place is way too loud. During the dinner hour, you can't hear the people you're with. The food is mediocre (fresh cut fries are good, though). The burgers are good, but tiny for the price. They only had 4 beers on tap. Tonight my pulled pork sandwich was made wrong (multiple items left off the sandwich). The waitress offere..." Read more

"I had a business lunch here on 12/12/18. We both had a lunch special, me a hamburger and my guest the hot roast beef sandwich. The hamburger was pretty good but not great. The French fries were absolutely awful. Greasy, limp, and cold. My guest liked his roast beef except it was covered with a garnish, which he did not like and didn't ask for. I would not go..."

"4 Nov 2018 ** My wife had the Epicurus garage sampler. Portion control is a problem. It looks like quantity come before quality. My wife's meal sampler had two pancakes the size of the dinner plate, approximately eight inches in diameter. The berry jam/compote that accompanied them was good. The home fries were not appealing, they were very dark and not cr..." Read more

"Excited to see a restaurant open up here after so long. My wife, daughter and I tried this place on Saturday (It was my wife's birthday). A bit disappointing however. My wife's steak was rare at best (Asked for medium), my daughters burger we were told was "OK" but we had to pay extra for an order of fries (Really?) A burger and fries = $16.50...wow! We..."
