Our Story
Epic Flavor Since Day One!
History
Epic Deli originally opened in 2011 in Johnsburg, Illinois, located at 3312 N. Chapel Hill Road.
In 2016, it relocated to its current address at 2616 Schaid Court, McHenry. The move was driven by issues with the previous location and a desire for a more reliable, spacious facility.
The owners continued the same menu and style with the move, bringing over their “epic” signature items.
