Epping's on Eastside

Epping's on Eastside Small plates & locally-sourced menus by Executive Chef Cole Arimes & Chef de Cuisine Nick Naylor. Epping.
(618)

We’re a bit like our hometown: sophisticated, well-traveled, but grounded in our roots. We believe there’s nothing more important than taking time to dine well with family and friends in a beautiful space. And we have a passion for all things Bluegrass - curing our meats in-house, supporting the region’s diverse farming and food community, and keeping a local-first mindset in everything we do. Epp

ing’s is located in a renovated historic building that once held Epping Bottling Works, home to the hustle and spirit of local entrepreneur John G. Today, we are proud to honor that history and be part of the energy of downtown Lexington’s Warehouse Block.

Thank you all for the support and votes! Cole Arimes, our Executive Chef and Owner, has been named Lexington's Best Chef for the SECOND YEAR IN A ROW!

Chef/owner life is a lot less Food Network glamour and a lot more everything else. We're most likely to find Chef Cole running from restaurant to restaurant wearing a funny (punny) t-shirt, multitasking, mentoring a team member, fixing some plumbing, covering for someone in the kitchen, donating a benefit dinner, camping with his kids, updating restaurant systems and, our favorite...supporting his people in every way he can.

Cheers to Chef Cole, and thank you Lexington and Smiley Pete's 2026 Best of Lex campaign for the recognition!
