Ya'll...why didn't anyone tell me the lamb chops were bite-sized? Lol. Well, I'm telling ya'll do not order the lamb expecting a decent sized portion because you will be disappointed. Very disappointed! I had to order a side of shrimp to feel like I was getting an actual meal. Anyway, the food tasted good, the ambiance was nice and the service was good. Our server Ashley was fabulous. I'm just not sure I was impressed enough with the portions to go back to this steakhouse. read more

Sat at the bar on Valentine's Day. Great service, food & atmosphere. It is a new "go to" when we want steak.

We were so excited to dine in for Valentine's Day. Upon arriving we had to wait a little even tho we had reservations, no biggie. Once we sat down our server told us they were out of multiple items on the pre selected valentines menu again (it happens) but maybe prepare better next time? The food was ok but the worst part of this was our service. Our waiter must have never served before. He dropped our silverware multiple times, forgot our orders...THERE WERE ONLY LIKE 4 things on the MENU! He didn't even wish us a nice evening or happy Valentine's Day literally said "I think I have your stuff" when it was time for the check. The worst part of this is that even tho the service was so awful (he forgot my wine as well) 20 percent gratuity is already added to the bill. When you are paying 300 dollars for steak, and service you expect the service to be good not awful! I really wanted to like this place since we live right down the road but I don't think we will be coming back anytime soon. Very disappointing. read more

OMGEEEE, when I tell you that this was 1 of the best dinner experience I have had in a long time. We decided we wanted to sit at the bar and that will be our place from now. First we had Tom as our bartender and he answered every single question that I had. And I went with his recommendation. Next up was another bartender, named Itzy who was great like Tom was. We actually ordered 3 app and while waiting on the meatballs the chef came out to let us know it would be a minute before they come out so he actually sent out shrimp for us which we totally appreciated even though I'm allergic to shrimp. Then came the best part of the night. I had the opportunity to talk to the main men, Ken and Greg. We got to talking about the different desserts and our favorites, low and behold, it was red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting. I was joking that this needs to be added to the menu eventhough the key lime pie was absolutely fantastic ( without the the fluffy stuff on top. My husband had the cheesecake with caramel and pecans. Everybody went above and beyond with their customer service. We will be back and sit at the bar, as its an entire different vibe. And hopefully they will add red velvet cake and name it after me, lol. read more

What a wonderful atmosphere! The service was truly outstanding, and the food was absolutely delicious. It's a place I'd love to visit again!

Our server Michael was the one!!! He was great!! Very attentive, pleasant and offered some great options. The food was good, not great but good. We started with the wagyu meatballs, which were real good. We had the special for our entrees, this night it was a 14oz blackened Ribeye with a Bleu cheese crust(which I didn't get)with shrimp, potatoes au gratin, onion rings. My partner opted for the Bleu cheese crust and said the Bleu cheese was overpowering. The drinks were great. I had the black walnut old fashioned, I got it smoked but that came with an additional 3 dollar charge. My partner had the French passion, which she loved. Our dessert was also good. We had the molten lava cake with ice cream. Didnt realize it came with a chocolate AND raspberry drizzle. I would have opted out of the raspberry drizzle but it was still good. When we got the bill I noticed a 20% service charge. Didnt know if it was gratuity or a "service charge". When our server Michael gave us the bill he was transparent and told us that it was actually gratuity, its a wknd thing. They only charge the "service charge" on the wknd. If you're the type that doesn't like to tip, just be mindful of this when you go on the wknd. Michael was great so we gave him additional on top of the "service charge" the ambience was perfect, dimly lit, quiet, tables were spaced far enough to have a private conversation. I would recommend this restaurant(brier creek location) for a date night . Don't come here with alligator arms. Expect to spend 150 and up. Enjoy. read more

Last minute decision to have dinner in the area and we looked on open table to see if there were time slots and fortunately we saw multiple. We were literally outside, so we walked in vs booking a table. (5:30 on a Wednesday). The restaurant was empty maybe 4 tables and the 3 hostesses looked at us, asked if we had a reservation. We said no and they said, we're sorry, we're completely booked! We went to Lulu bang bang down the street, in and out in 45 minutes or less! The hostess greeted us, the restaurant was 3/4 full, got a quiet table and had a fabulous dinner! Epic's loss, the location in Kingsley is amazing! Not impressed with the staff at Brier creek. read more

Been here twice. Both times my food was prepared incorrectly. There seems to be no scale in the kitchen either. One visit my petite filet was a nice size. The second time it was about the size of a medallion. Prime rib was very fatty and tough. We watched our bottle of (white) wine sit on the side of the bar for 20 minutes before it was brought over. Wait staff took orders for half of the table and left. Had to request the server come back to take the remaining orders. Large party but wanted to sit us at two separate tables. Calamari tasted frozen and was overcooked. They like to put cabbage and hollandaise on everything. Very pretty inside. read more

We anxiously awaited a new restaurant to open in Brier Creek and tried this for our anniversary dinner. It delivered on all levels. Steaks were cooked to perfection, delicious sides, and a solid wine & bourbon list. The staff is attentive, professional, and genuinely welcoming. The ambience is warm and polished. It's the kind of place where people still dress up a little, not because they have to, but because the experience feels worth it. We will return! read more

First visit to this location in Brier Creek, in the old Brazilian steakhouse that closed up. Totally renovated and very nice inside, with great bar and private party dining area as well. Food and service were top tier, with the pacing of the meal just right. Two dings I marked off for were unavailability of food (we heard 'sorry, we're out of that' twice and we dined one hour after opening. And, while they posted a dress code, we saw several guests coming in with shorts, what looked like leotards and tank tops, and more than one coming in with baseball caps. We dressed up a bit because of the posted dress code, but if we'd known anything goes, we'd have dressed down a bit. So please don't post that you have a dress code when it was clear there was a 'let anyone in' model in place. We'll consider a return maybe after they iron out some kinks, they've only been open less than a month. Some good potential here. read more

Epic Chophouse - Boneless short rib, creamed corn risotto, Mac & cheese..... - Steakhouses Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Fantastic cocktails, steak cooked to perfection with great flavor, starter salad dressing is delicious and the service is excellent! The only disappointment was the potato pancake. Very dry and flavorless for my taste and it was served loaded. The restaurant is a modern steakhouse/chophouse vibe. read more

I was excited to see a steak house in Brier Creek because I live across the street. I went with my spouse and two friends. Food was good although sides were a little small when shared. The NY strip steak was good. Service was good but it took a little too long to get some things. My friend's filet ordered medium rare was way too red even for me and I like pretty rare meat. The wines are really lackluster for a place like this. I am not a wine expert but I know wine. I had a $16 glass of Napa Cabernet that is supposed to be $30 a bottle retail. It is worth no more than $10-15 a bottle. The only Syrah was a mediocre one according to online reviews that was $7 per glass. My friend has a gin martini that she said didn't taste right. I often go to Metro 8 in Durham which has better wine and similar prices. read more

I took my wife out to dinner for her retirement! The food and service were great! The atmosphere was amazing! I loved the decor! Great place to go for a special occasion! read more

forcing me to tip will never fucking happen so I will not be back. I was there at Christmas an had the worst service and they canceled my New Years eve and valentines reservations because I complained about the forced tip. you do this because other races don't tip and that is not my problem. the server needs to earn their tip and if it's all ready on the bill that means shitty service. I hope your business fails. read more

The service was great. The team worked Well together. The menu selection and the food was amazing. Already planning to return. read more

That was the worst ribeye I have ever had in my life. (And that includes the ones I have overcooked or otherwise gotten wrong.) It was grossly overcooked, burnt and cold. They slapped a pat of butter on it that would not melt. I ordered the 104 Ribeye and it ate like a NY Strip. So, the Epic Chophouse was an EPIC FAIL. The drinks were good! The lobster tails were cooked well and the cheesy bread was amazing. I gave it 1 star because if you have chophouse in your name you should be able to cook any cut perfectly EVERY time. read more

They bend to stop putting an auto gratuity on peoples checks. I will tip for good food and good service. Not going back.

it was so amazing!!! I was there before it even got packed on a Thursday night!! the food. The drinks were amazing. It had a nice vibe and flow to it, and everyone was so caring and making sure I enjoyed everything.. I will definitely be going again! read more

The food was delicious! Our server, Craig was amazing with his charm and experience. It was a wonderful Mother's Day celebration. I highly recommend the lamb chops and the mashed Yukon gold potatoes. read more

When I first walked in, the ambiance hit me in the face. Gorgeous! The staff catered to my needs with their great service. And the food...the food was exceptional. I highly recommend the New York Strip or Filet Mignon. read more

My family and I visited for the first time to celebrate my mom's 76th birthday and had an overall fair experience. I had the stuffed chicken which was pretty good to me, and my nephew enjoyed his burger. Unfortunately the other (4) did not enjoy their meal. In particular the short ribs. Although, they were extremely tender, it was just as bland in taste. And I must mention the appetizers were DELICIOUS! The recommendations from the server were a miss for those who took it (I didn't and was very pleased with my choice). She was very talkative and less attentive to the table. The manager was a joy. The ambiance was perfect. The atmosphere was cozy and warm. Loved the bar area! I think, if I visit again, it will be to the bar. On a scale of 1-10, I give the overall experience a 7 read more

Birthday girls food was burnt, wasn't fixed until everyone was done, manager walked away ignorantly multiple times. Short insecure manager acted annoyed and said frustratedly "heres your stake, it's done." Waiter was nice pre incident and food was good, fillet especially but Wedges were burnt and unflavored. read more

First time going to Epic Chophouse in Brier Creek and went for their Thanksgiving buffet. Food was excellent with turkey, roast beef and fish for the main with many delicious sides available. Desserts were also just about anything you could ask for. The service from the greeters to our waiter John were super professional, attentive and friendly. Even though it was very busy no one rushed us and the atmosphere was relaxed. I cannot wait to go back and try their regular menu. The price for the meal was in an accessible range compared with other restaurants in the area especially considering the amount of food they offered. Will definitely be going again. read more

We went to dinner on 2/12 to celebrate Valentines Day earlier and it was a horrible experience. we made a reservation for 730 and waited 15 more minutes for a table for two. Then we got to the table and ordered appetizers and drinks. The 5 mins later ordered the ribeye special and salmon. We waited almost 50 minutes with no updates. We had to waive the waitress down to check on the meal. What concerned us is the 4 parties that came in after us and ordered after, received their meals and boxing before we got ours. When we finally got our food the waitress and manager on duty was not so concern about us not being happy and that I had to send my food back due to my salmon being over cooked as if they forgot about it and tried to reheat it. This was disappointing because he was excited to take me there due to his previous visit with his coworkers. He said the service was fast and great that night. I asked for a general manager information, and they first tried to get me to just try corporate. After finally getting a card, I was just disappointed that the supervisor that night said tell the truth, how long did it really take? As if we didn't want to pay and we paid the full amount but just wanted better communication and treated fairly. I work in Property Management and will not be recommending this restaurant for no property dinners. read more

Parking was easy, the ambiance was pleasant, the service was great, but the food was just okay - especially for the price.

The lobster shrimp pasta was to die for!! The pasta is chefs kiss!! You have to add that to your list of things to try here! But if you order is a steak ask them not to char it because it will taste like you're eating a grill! But the bartender is amazing and you will have a good atmosphere when you come here! Long Island Tommy is amazing please ask for him read more

First of all, the food was amazing and the prices were reasonable. The service left a lot to be desired. Is it because we were a party of 8 and she knew she was going to get 20% regardless. Our water glasses went empty, the food was brought out piecemeal as was the wine, and it took 20 minutes to get the check. It's really too bad, for that kind of a restaurant the service should be spot on. It was my birthday, but it didn't feel like it. Couldn't find a waiter to take a photo read more

Went to Epic Chophouse for date night and had the calamari and cheese toast which were both amazing! However the entrees were not so good, both our entrees lacked flavor and were very bland. Service was great! read more

Nice atmosphere. Food is not really worth the price they charge for it. Waitress was nice and checked on table a lot. Dessert took forever to come out waited 20 minutes. read more

not a bad mid-level steakhouse similar to an outback or Texas Roadhouse but slightly more up-class feeling. My food was just okay My steak ordered medium rare was definitely on the rare side. brussel sprouts were good but completely drowned in some type of oil and honey. seems like this place is new and probably needs to work out a few kinks. place was crowded people seem to like it. read more

Great food, great service and fun atmosphere. Seriously like this place. Was shocked to learn it has only been open three weeks. Seems like a great flow between staff. read more

Greeted and seated by very pleasant hosts. Dining experience took a downturn from there. Both wait staff and management need some additional training. read more

Drove over two hours to try this newly opened restaurant and was unimpressed. Food and service were off tonight, unfortunately.

I really wanted this place to be as amazing as it sounds. The high dollar renovation plus the fact that this area is devoid of respectable high dollar steakhouses. Just didn't do it for me. I'm willing to try again, in hopes that I went on their 1st Saturday. The cheese toast appetizer was amazing. The drinks were about a grade B. Just ok but nothing to rave about. My biggest issue was the ribeye I ordered. $45 ribeye and it was about a half inch thick, and extremely fatty. No idea what was going on there. Also the service was top notch. They definitely invested into having a full stable of staff ready to check on you, deliver food, and offer recommendations. Just had to go with 3* strictly because this is a high end steakhouse and the steak fell flat. I'll be sticking with Vinnies until I find something equivalent or better. And that bar isn't that high. read more
