    Country bowl
    Trisha D.

    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

    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

    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.

    We usually order pickup. Absolutely love their gyros. They are not stingy with the meat! Clean and friendly staff!

    Food was good. Value was not good. Ordered $7.99 meat loaf special and it was 80% mashed potatoes and 20% meat. Not worth it

    Been meaning to try this place out and was not disappointed…read more It's small inside, with larger (maybe communal?) tables, you order from the counter and they bring out the food. We ordered an Italian sandwich and Philly cheesesteak (tuesdays only), with fries and drinks. This was the best Italian sub sandwich I've had in the area. The meats were generous and it tasted so fresh. The cheesesteak was also fresh and delicious, the taste of the steak being a huge standout. Both sandwiches had amazing bread, and the fries were delicious. The price was a little steep at almost $50 for two sandwiches, one bag of chips, one soda, and an order of fries. But for me, the quality was worth the price for a once in a while treat. Our only complaint was the ketchup came in packets, and they either were old or not under proper temp control. The texture was off, and the packets were inflated... making it seem like they went bad. We will be coming back for sure.

    Why has this place turned into a dirty fingerprint and meat smudged pit? The last time I was in I…read morehad noted a decline in cleanliness, but now it can only described as so much so to be completely unappealing. There wasn't a single metal or glass surface that wasn't smeared and smudged, both inside and out. Display cases were disheveled, with price and description tags laying backward and turned over so as to not be readable. Not one, not two but at least half were this way or completely missing. Shelves were dusty. The bottoms of the freezers grimy and the glass dirty. The prep area behind the counter was none too impressive either. I ordered a Reuben and expected a real deli style sandwich with a great sauce and good kraut. What I was served looked like someone had wadded up a ball of shaved corned beef and slammed it in the middle of a very large slice of toast leaving about 1 1/2" of naked crust surrounding a ball of beef. The sauce was lackluster and the kraut almost tasteless. I've had better Rueben's across the street for nearly half the price. The ribeye sandwich was tasty, but uninspired and looked like it had been slapped together by a 3rd grader. Zero attention given to presentation. If I am going to an establishment which charges $30 a lb for ribeyes and $14 -$17 for a sandwich with only a limp dill pickle quarter as a side, I expect an equally corresponding attention to cleanliness and detail. This trip in was enough to make me not ever want to return. I doubt I will.

    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.

    The shop is much smaller than I imagined from their Instagram posts. 15 tables at most…read more The food was good quality to be sure, but sadly not what I hoped it would be. I ordered their smash burger. It was good but not impressive. We had asked for sauce on the side, but I think they interpreted that as additional sauce on the side. The burger had sauce on it as well. The flavors were dominated by the sauce. Being a butcher shop I was hoping for a really good burger. I'd rate it average. We went a long way to visit and sadly while the staff is super friendly and helpful, what my sister and I ordered wasn't something we'd make the drive for to get again. Maybe we choose the wrong things. The parking for us was easy. The staff very friendly and helpful. The pizza on the bar looked dried out or outright burned so we stayed away from that. We were looking forward to something from their hot bar, but sadly it wasn't open on Sunday. We felt it was expensive for what we received and like I said earlier we had higher hopes. If you're in the area it's a good spot to stop, but we wouldn't make the trip to there specifically... It was good...not great. We had higher hopes.
