We came here for a quick bite. Things were very fast, which was great. The bartender was also the waitress and hostess. She was very nice, but overwhelmed (not her fault). My issue was the food. My tacos came out ice cold. My friend got the burger, and the sauce and ingredients overwhelmed the burger. The bun disintegrated and was not good. I ordered 2 kids meals, they did not have grape jelly for the PB&J. The bread was also stale. The chicken tenders were not good at all. They were dry, the breading was also bad. It took so long for me to get the waitress/bartender to notice me that I just didn't want to wait for something else. Might have just been a bad day, but we paid almost $100 for poor quality food.

The old menu was unique and delicious. The new menu is predictable and average. Old vibe is gone. New vibe is just meh.

Everything was fine until a HUGE RAT ran across the dining room floor!

Everything was fine until a HUGE RAT ran across the dining room floor! After that we quickly exited the building it was too bad we had already paid the check.

Food was absolutely horrible! I don't see how this place gets so many good reviews! Probably because they know the owners hahaha

Our first visit under the new owners and we unimpressed. The food was overcooked and dry. The service, while friendly, was slow, even though the restaurant was almost empty. We used to visit EPH often since it opened, but this visit was not very encouraging.

They have top tier fried pickles, great flavor and fry batter. Tried the SotD, black bean with feta-was awesome. Also had the grilled cheese and tots, tots were great!! We took a salad to go that also looked amazing
Food was awesome, waitress knew the menu and had great responses to our questions. Cheese curds were crunchy, burger was cooked perfectly, loaded steak sandwich was amazing. Also, get the Cajun tater tots.

It's fine for a local option. I've been here many times, never been let down, but never impressed either.

Stopped in because we were working in the area and it was the best decision I've made. Food is fantastic!!! I got the campfire burger and my buddy got the fish tacos. I could have eaten 4 of those burgers absolutely delicious. The fish tacos looked great and my buddy said they were great. Good atmosphere, good service, and amazing food. We will definitely be back.

The Reuben is good but they don't cut the corned beef correctly. It was very chewy. I'd go back again.
