Here’s just one of their many five-star reviews:

“This place is a hidden gem! It’s so fantastic! You’ll have such a great experience because you’ll not only get a delicious, home-cooked meal, but you’ll also feel like family once you’ve dined there. My father-in-law always takes us there when he comes into town, and it’s always special. Their menu is small, but each dish is specially prepared. It’s quite a drive from our house, but it’s worth it. I can’t say enough good things about this place! You have to try it. Make sure you make a reservation because this small place fills up fast!” – J.B.

It is because of excellent reviews like this that Epi’s Basque Restaurant is now able to call themselves a Top Rated Local award winner!

Not Your Average Restaurant

We were excited to learn all about Epi’s Basque Restaurant and how they have gotten where they are today, so we sat down with the owner, Erik McFarland.

The first thing we wanted to know was what it is that makes Epi’s Basque Restaurant stand apart from its competitors.

“We’re more than just food or the service; it’s the full experience. We’re willing to adapt to our customers’ requests and do our best to make every customer experience unique.”

Building Success, Online And Off

Epi’s Basque Restaurant has earned a fantastic reputation, so we asked Erik how they have managed to grow their business and get such great reviews. He said:

“We treat every single person that walks through the door like our best customer, like family. We try to be authentic and real.”

In addition to building the kind of online reputation that any small business would envy, Epi’s Basque Restaurant has spread the word about who they are and what they do by finding ways to give back to the community.

There are many businesses out there that are looking to build as impressive a reputation as Epi’s Basque Restaurant has managed to. We asked if Erik could share any expert advice with these companies. Here’s what he had to say:

“You have to have grit; every single day is a challenge. You need to keep your eye on the end goal, but you have to get up every day with a purpose.”


Congratulations to Epi’s Basque Restaurant for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and special thanks to Erik for taking the time to speak with us!
