    BLT and floppy truffle fries.
    Frank T.

    We came in on our way to CIN. We sat outside and the service and staff were amazing. We ordered our soda's and then decided to split the BLT and an order of the truffle fires. The BLT was great! lots of crispy bacon. The truffle fries were wimpy. there were a few crispy ones but totally disappointing. We mentioned it to our server who graciously brought us another order. It was slightly better. But way too soft. They said they were double fried, but they didn't taste like it. Not planning to return.

    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!!

    Chicken Caesar Salad

    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!!

    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

    Truffle fries

    Very good tenderloin sandwich. Truffle fries very flavorful. Waygu burger excellent service was great.

    My boyfriend and I came here for our anniversary and were very pleased! The service was fast despite it being busy, the portions were on point, the entrees were amazing, and the drinks were made very well. The restaurant interior is very well-designed as well. We will probably be back soon. Thank you!

    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.

    Stone Fruit Burrata
    Erin J.

    Always great food and service at East End Grill! I wish I remembered our servers name because she was the sweetest and just had the perfect timing to stop by the table and check on us. Food was excellent as always. Stone fruit burrata was so amazing we ordered a second one for the table. I could have had a plate to myself for dinner! But I got the halibut and it was 5 stars delicious. Everything we ordered was so delicious and presentation was lovely. We discovered East End Grill my daughter's freshman year at Purdue and have been going back ever since. We love this place!

    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.

    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!

The…read moreatmosphere was absolutely perfect--upscale yet comfortable, with a vibe that made it easy to relax and enjoy the night. We started with drinks, and both were spot on. The 8Eleven Signature Old Fashion was smooth and well-balanced, and the Tamarind Mule had a unique twist that made it really stand out. For the main course, the 28oz Tomahawk Ribeye was the star of the show--perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and definitely something to come back for. The braised beef was just as impressive--tender, rich, and done right. Even the asparagus was cooked to perfection, which really shows the level of care that goes into every plate. Our waitress was delightful--friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Between the amazing food, great drinks, and top-notch service, this place truly stands out. We will definitely be back.

First off, I have always picked where I want to sit, the part about "server is busy, and that table is served by a specific server" is nonsensical, they should really change or add a server to the seating area that customers prefer (near window, more lighting etc) rather than having the customer sit somewhere else for their servers convenience. Secondly, I picked up the glass for water and it smelled like an egg, I called out the server (who already seemed annoyed to change of seats) and told her about the glass and the response I got was "we wash our glasses in vinegar so it must be that", well first off, I know the difference between vinegar and egg smell, secondly, it was disgusting and I cannot drink water in it, instead of arguing, she really should have just changed the glass, it's not that hard.
