Outstanding service, delish sandwiches and large portions. Earl Kaimuki on Kapiolani is a win win win. Our Philly Cheesesteak and Rueben without the Rye were ready in half the time I'd been quoted for takeout to home. Small eating space but with two tables plenty of room for four at each booth or six small folks. We didn't try their fries but they looked outrageous at the next table with plenty of embellishments. Yum! read more

TOP-NOTCH ITALIAN SUB SANDWICH !!! First time for me and I was really impressed with the Italian submarine sandwich. Lots of ingredients spilling over ... so I wouldn't let go of the sandwich once you pick it up. I would put this sandwich place in my top two favorites with Storto's. I'll try some other sandwiches the next time I'm in the mood for a good sandwich. read more

We discovered these sandwiches on our last trip to Oahu and had to come back. We ordered ahead online, and our sandwiches were waiting for us when we got there. You can also order inside at the kiosk. - Caprese -- filled with ingredients and super saucy. The peppers make it really good - Turkey Club -- really good flavor, like a salad in a sandwich - Cubano Italiano -- good, spicy, not dry The bread really makes the sandwiches...crunchy but soft. They've added two booths since last time we were here, so a couple of parties can sit. Artwork on the walls shares the history of the chain, and there is music playing from the kitchen. They have Pepsi fountain so we brought our own drinks. And their waffle fries are so good -- they were still crunchy even though we were a little late getting our food. read more

Great food!! Fresh ingredients and bread is fresh and semolina like I use to get in New York were in from

Finally writing a review for EARL at this Market City location. For how l-a-r-g-e these sandwiches are, and the quality of ingredients, you really can't go wrong. Sure, the cheesesteak is great, but what really impressed me this recent visit, was The Italian. It was giant (expected), but the sandwich itself was exactly what I wanted. The meats, veggies, and the spicy peppers in it were perfection. I ate it while driving in traffic, so it was messy af, but that didn't stop me. Toppings and sauces dripping out galore, it was amazing. And the spiciness of the peppers (there were a few kinds, some sweet) just went so well with this sandwich! I was getting so tired of being disappointed at every other boring Italian sandwich, so I'm very excited to finally have one that I love. I also tried going for the golden ticket week, but sadly did not win. BUT the sandwich was a WINNER in it of itself, so thank you, EARL. Your "The Italian" is the true golden ticket winner. read more

Work lunch Wednesday was delivered to us via DoorDash from Earl kaimuki. I ordered the Reuben (not on rye) with added cherry peppers. Oh was that addition of hot pickled peppers the literal cherry on the top. It was such a great flavor combo with the pastrami and thousand island sauce! I would definitely get that sandwich again! The only downside to ordering from this location ( possibly because it's via online food delivery) is that they don't have the specials I receive text updates about that the Kakaako location has. read more

Only my second visit to Earl's Kaimuki location in Market City Shopping Center...though I've visited Earl's OG Kaimuki locale on several occasions. The initial visit, I ordered takeaway via mobile online, but this time I utilized the self-service payment machine on the counter by their large menu boards. All of their sandwiches are excellent...except any seafood type as I do not care for seafood. Got a Frozen Custard soft serve - they only have one size - for takeout. It was good and sold at a decent price, $7. read more

Cruising the South Eastern Side of Oahu today. Hunger pains have me searching for a YELPTASTIC Sandwich and my Yelp App quickly has me zeroed in on EARL's Kaimuki! A small simple establishment tucked into the Foodland shopping complex. They have 3 small tables for dining in, with a very brisk takeout cliental that smartly orders ahead. My first time here and walking to the counter, I bypassed the large poster board menu in the corner, asking for a menu, I was warmly greeted and directed to their large printed Menu. They also have a small electronic kiosk where you can join their rewards club, scroll through their delicious menu of colored photos of their classic house sandwiches, to include Classic Authentic East-Coast Cheesesteak, Chicken Sandwiches, Huge Chicken Tenders and Burgers. My focus went to the luscious looking Earls Cheesesteak! WOW! EARL's Cheesesteak with crusty outer edge, soft & chewy bread on inside & da Bomb perfectly seasoned Steak, Cheese Sauce, smothered in grilled onions! Served up Hot off da grill, wrapped in the perfect coated Wrapper to help keep the juices from saturating your lap as your taste buds explode with delight of each tender mouthwatering bite! Five Star Orgasmic Foodie Groan & Moan! ‼ Seriously, a bib would be recommended if you decide to chomp down on this incredible Cheesesteak inside your car! Ok, I was feeling super hungry and also got the smaller 2 chicken tender box, comes with 2 HUGE plump & juicy Crusted Chicken Fingers that are a match made in heaven, with EARLS dipping sauce! The waffle fries are spot on with that full potato punch of flavor that match the goodness of the chicken perfectly. Two small dill pickle slices tucked neatly in the corner, finish off this box with a magical exclamation point! Note: They charge a 3.5% transaction fee when using a credit card. A bit on the pricy side but well worth the money for quality! Five Fabulous Stars for this Sandwich Mecca of Spectacular Flavor! I'll be back! End this review by BOOK MARKING EARL, ON YOUR YELP APP! read more

EARL Kaimukī is a cozy little sandwich spot serving up East Coast-style subs with aloha. We tried the Chipotle Chicken Cheesesteak and the classic EARL Cheesesteak, along with a side of bacon fries. Both sandwiches came generously packed with meat and toppings--definitely hearty and filling. While we added extra toppings hoping to elevate the flavor, the overall taste didn't quite pop like we expected. The fries, though, were on point--crispy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. What really stood out was the great customer service and quick, convenient setup. The staff was friendly, efficient, and kept things moving smoothly. Even though our first visit didn't blow us away, the solid service and promising menu have us willing to come back and give EARL another shot. Looking forward to trying more of what they've got next time around! read more

Tonight was my first time trying this location. While it wasn't perfect, good service brings high points for me. I came to try to use a coupon I received in my email. It didn't originally work on the self service kiosk, and at the cashier it also didn't work. She had a workaround and found out how to input the code and was very friendly. We got the waffle fries and the special sandwich today which was chicken parm. My mom, who is pretty critical, said it was messy, but she'd order it again. She loved the toasted bread and said it didn't even need the chicken! It would've been good as just a cheese pizza sandwich! I didn't care for how the fries were cooked. It was so crispy and dry it was almost like chips. I can't wait to come back to try other sandwiches. Free parking in Markey City Shopping Center! read more

This review is only based on my late-night visit for a gelati! I called ahead to make certain that the Marketcity location had the gelati available before heading in. I was in luck! The staff that answered the phone and helped me in-store was very friendly. I ordered the mango Italian ice with custard. I grew up on Rita's gelati, so I was really excited to have a taste of nostalgia! The gelati was pre-prepared in the freezer, but it didn't necessarily affect the quality--just the texture slightly. The Italian ice had a good mango flavor, the custard was decadent and rich. The custard was the main star for me! I'd order it on its own--I'll ask if that's a possibility next time! The store was clean even an hour before close, and the merch was so cute! T-shirts were wrapped in sandwich paper, looked like little hoagies! I will definitely be back to try other flavors and the breakfast available on weekends. read more

I decided to stop by because I saw on Tiktok that they have gelati and I needed to try it! I made the drive out to Kaimuki and it was definitely worth it. My boyfriend and I shared a gelati and it was perfect for a hot day out! The staff was so friendly and patient as we browsed through the menu. Will definitely be back to try some of their subs! read more

I remember when EARL kaimuki first got to market city, their menu board was very limited. So years passed and I finally returned and omg! The food (sub sandwich) and waffle fries is so delish! do satisfying! Service was good, food is made to order so there's a little wait but so worth it! A few tables to dine in and a clean place to have your meal! I'll be back to try other things! read more

I remember when Earl's opened in Kaimuki and they had this amazing bacon jam. Then I moved off island..... And now I'm back home! And I totally forgot about Earls until I went to a school event and they brought Earls for lunch. Creamy. Chicken. Sandwich. Omg. So friggin delicious. And hearty! The two times I've gone, everyone was nice. Ambiance, though a smaller establishment, was clean and similar to Teddy's regarding decor. I cannot comment on the other sandwiches, and sadly, I can't eat cold cuts anymore, so there's some I can't try BUT, I'm glad they have hot options and veggie options! read more

Finally had a chance to try EARL Kaimuki. I wish I could say I had a better experience, but maybe next time? I ordered 2 subs: Chicken Vodka Parm and the Cheesesteak. I was debating on the Chicken Vodka Parm but after seeing it on Instagram, I was sold (pic included here for reference). I asked if it was spicy, to which the reply was "no". First off, I attached my own picture here and you can see it looks nothing like the IG pic, which I totally get since everything looks better on social media. Second, when I actually ate the sandwich, it was so damn spicy. After eating half of the half sandwich, my mouth was on fire. It made it really hard to taste anything else. I was totally disappointed. After going back to look at what was in it, I noticed it said it has a pepper relish, so my fault I guess, but I don't know how anyone can say it isn't spicy. The only reason I'm giving it 3 stars is because the Cheesesteak was tasty. I'll probably try here again, but sorry to say, there are definitely better sub places. read more

I used to eat here a lot when they used to be further up Kaimuki. Boy the menu changed a lot! I miss the avocado toast. Got an email about an incredible looking fish burger so had to check it out. Super easy to order online and pick up (when there's ample parking in market city). Customer service could've been more smiley but that's okay. The fish burger was a good size for $14. Great crispy batter. But lacked salt. Needed pickles or something to enhance the flavor. Good that they packed it partially open so it stayed crispy and easy to hold. Also ordered the turkey club for $14.95. It was decent. Size was smaller than I thought but good enough. At first I couldn't see any "guts" but after cutting it in half, it looked better. Had way too much Pesto though. Needed avocado and tomato to balance the mayo and salt. Also tried the 2 piece chicken box for $13.95. Sorry but not worth it. The chicken pieces were great sized and cooked well. But the waffle fries were not good at all--no taste, no crisp, we actually threw them away. I wonder if they would've been better not in a box; perhaps the box made them steam. read more

Delightful! I got the original philly cheesesteak and substituted the cheese whiz for provolone. A great decision indeed--The bread had a great crunch without tearing up the roof of your mouth, and it was filled to the brim with meat, cheese, and veggies. My husband had the hot honey chicken sandwich and I was able to snag a bite before he gobbled it up! It had a nice kick to it without being too overwhelmingly spicy. The winner for the both of us though... was the waffle fries! Holy cow, some of the best waffle fries on the market. They were not overwhelmingly greasy and they were cooked to absolute perfection. Nice and golden and crispy and stayed warm throughout the entire meal, yum yum yum! My only wish would be something different to dip the fries in, their ketchup isn't bad but I'm not that big of a fan of ketchup in general. Some sort of homemade fry sauce would have leveled it up! The price is a little steep, $35 for everything, no drinks included, but I know that if you sign up with your phone number and gather up 100 points you can earn $5 towards your next purchase. TIPS & TRICKS: * We were not able to find a public restroom around, so don't plan on staying long! There was some seating but it felt like a lot of people were calling in orders to go and taking it out. read more

We were in Kaimuki and stopped by for some lunch. Ordered our favorites Classic Cheesesteak and Reuben not on Rye. Tried the 4 piece fried chicken box. Wow the Fried Chicken was amazing, crispy,moist, and delicious . You can order from their new ordering counter, online, phone, or right at the front counter. Food is always made fresh and hot. Wonderfully delicious. They've refreshed the dining room new tables and bench seats. Fresh bright paint gives a nice touch to the restaurant. Check out their specials that start every Thursday. read more

Had to go to Market City. Like this location better than the old one...closer to home/work. Saw they were gonna do the Krabby Patty Sammy...whatever it's called...so heck yeah, i'm there! People park like crap in that lot, so be careful, but otherwise can typically find parking fairly easily at least during the slower times. Got 2 of them krabbies...one for me, one for my mom. Felt heavy so thought to weigh one after I already took a few big ol bites. Buggah was 11oz. 2 crab patties, sauce, pickles, tomato, lettuce on a toasted bun. Bun little bready for me, but I just ripped some off and was perf. YUM. Totes 2 meals worth... $30+ for 2 of um. Pretty much the going rate for burgers/sandwiches nowadays I guess. Now I gotta look out for the fish sandwich... read more

Will start by saying LOVE the chicken sandwich's and normally pretty okay with how the customer service is but today was not great. I feel like I always have an issue when people just look like they hate their job and don't want customers in the last 30 minutes of their shift. I understand wanting to close and go home but I swear the front desk person had literally rolled his eyes when we walked in keep in mind I ordered over the phone but regardless food is great just think a smile would go a long way read more

Ordered takeout and both service and food were exceptional! Hands down this was the best (and most unique) Italian sub I've ever had. Loaded with meats, peppers and other goodies, it is enough for 2 - 3 meals! The staff here is really friendly, helpful with the ordering and quick in preparation. You can tell that they care about both customers and, quality of food coming out of the kitchen! Mahalos! read more

This is located at Market City. Parking can be tight because there are a number of restaurants there as well as Foodland. Earl is a small shop mostly meant for pick up. Call in your order or you'll be waiting a while for your sandwich. I ordered and was given an estimated time of 25 minutes, but it was ok because I just went over to Foodland to browse. My food was ready just a few minutes before promised so that was nice. I ordered the cheesesteak and the turkey club. Both were really delicious, but I personally preferred the cheesesteak. So good! There was a good amount of meat sauce, onions and cheese - a good ratio. it is pricey for what you get though. I will probably be back. read more

I can't believe this place doesn't have more ratings than this . They say they have 40,000 followers though on Instagram which I would really believe. . So I was really undecided to what to order and ask the cashier . She recommended a few things. I did not take a recommendations. I ordered a spicy fried chicken sandwich. It was good, but not worth something. I would literally go back for. . So I read more reviews and went up and ordered another sandwich. I got the Earl Italian. Now that was very special. It was incredibly good. I don't know how you can make a sandwich taste so different than other Italian sandwiches but it was delicious. Gotta try it. I'm not a Italian dressing person on sandwiches. I would hold it or put it on the side if I were you, I'd rate this sandwich at 10 out of 10 though the bread is unbelievable. They make it in House. Good job. read more

Everything is always so ono here, but had the Prime Rib French dip with French onion soup today & was even more blown away!

It's only a Monday while entering the last week of January and into the new Lunar Year and my day has been total crap. I made phone take-out order and intended to take it home in solitude with my meal. Upon arrival, I instead dined-in and ten minutes later, Neoma came to inform that I forgot my wallet on the counter, and handed my wallet. The last thing I'd thought I could ever forget in these days... I am leaving tomorrow for mainland and had a lot of cash in that wallet. My ID and bank cards to aid my trip were all in that $5 Ross wallet... When she approached me about wallet, the amount of stress I already had, was relieved by the genuine compassion of her Aloha Spirit that there are still great people in this world. It just takes one person that can make a complete total difference and Neoma was it. I would like to ask management and owners to please recognize her beautiful integrity that many parts of the world lack of. That one action kept the faith going that there are still good people in this world and it was all by God's wink. Mahalo. Please enjoy the Italian sub, fish sandwich when it's available and definitely the fried chicken and single patty burger cause those are my personal favorites! And Neoma. read more

I love the seafood sandwiches when they do it, but the crab cake is definitely my favorite but they barely have it anymore They had a $10 lobster roll special on New Year's Eve. It was such a deal I had to get it. I ordered online morning of and got a confirmation email that it should be ready around 1025. I get there and there was a very short line. That very short line turned into a very long line within an hour. My order was not ready and I think they weren't prepared for the rush with walk ins, phone order and online orders. I even saw some people who came after me get their food first *cries* The lobster roll was great tho - as expected? But was it worth the hour wait when I did a online order ? Probably not. They are located in market city shopping center with shared parking which could be pretty busy depending on the time you go. read more
