HOW IT STARTED. HOW IT's Going

In 2010, we proudly unveiled our first location on Main Street in downtown Mooresville. But this place has a history as eclectic as a yard sale on a rainy day! Picture this: a century ago, you could have snagged a pair of dapper men’s pants right at the bar. And if you ever needed to feed your farm animals while shopping, no worries, we had bags of feed and seed casually chilling in the kitchen area.

Now, don’t get too excited, but we even had a sweet deal on some patent leather oxfords in the dining room! Talk about a one-stop shop, right?

Our building dates all the way back to 1888, when it was home to the famous Rankin Store. W.W. Rankin himself was practically a walking department store, selling everything from clothing to fabric to seed—pretty much the OG Amazon.

But wait, there’s more! This place also holds the prestigious title of housing Mooresville’s first electric elevator. Yep, we’re not just about delicious food; we’ve got some historical elevator action too!

After the 1950s, when it traded pants and shoes for sofas and tables as Morrow Brothers Furniture, we decided to reclaim this gem and brought the first Epic Chophouse to life. And boy, did it become a local sensation faster than you can say “steak”!

With our success in Mooresville, we couldn’t resist spreading the joy down south to Fort Mill, SC. Our second location was a hit, and let’s be real, who doesn’t love a good Southern welcome?

Hey all, EP/C Chop House Greensboro officially opened its doors in May 2024!

Great dinner tonight, we ended up eating at the bar because we had such a great bartender named Rudy. The bacon and French onion soup were perfect starters and the porterhouse steak was cooked perfectly.

Came here with my Husband for a date night and was not disappointed. Staff pays close attention to details, the food was marvelous, and the building is incredible. I would recommend it to any couple looking for a nice dinner with great atmosphere.
