Splendid service by everyone working and we had ordered the Italian 12 inch sandwich which was reasonably priced. I would love to return here again! read more

Always appreciate Earl and their fast service. The cashiers are kind and I can usually place a to go order with ease. I've only visited twice and both times enjoyed the turkey club. There's a new green goddess sandwich, not on the menu, that the worker recommend (it was a special). Small spot near the Foodland, but has a couple booths for seating. read more

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

EARL Kaimuki - Mushroom Single - Sandwiches Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I love sandwiches so I've wanted to check out Earl's for a long time. Today I had a chance to and eagerly stepped up to the counter. First rule of a good sandwich shop, have great bread. 1 star loss, the bread on my po boy was over toasted and crunchy hard. I had the spicy chicken po boy and it was mid. It was a chicken katsu tossed in hot sauce. The best part of the sandwich was the pickle. Lastly I ordered this one sandwich, staff pressed 1 button, then turned the iPad to me so I could tip. How much do you tip for 5 seconds of service. I hate giving poor reviews but I was so underwhelmed. The place was pretty busy so maybe it's just me. 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! The roasted prime rib was plentiful & so tender & tasty with the delicious caramelized onion & French onion soup was perfect! Great value too for such a quality sandwich! I don't often write reviews unless I'm super impressed or not happy at all! 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

The Turkey club was a tad expensive now to think about it. $15 for a sandwich of this size for the amount of protein. Overall I thought it was seasoned a bit too much, the top of the sandwich was extra salty. The bread was nicely toasted. I ate half immediately in the car and had the second half the next day after storing it in the fridge (still good with slightly soggy bread from fridge storage). My SO really enjoyed the cheesesteak, the bread, cheese, meat, veg ratio was on point. Don't think this will be my first sandwich shop to return to when in Honolulu. Parking was easy. read more

Whenever I'm craving a hearty and tasty sandwich I usually find myself coming to Earl. Now located in Market City Shopping Center and open till 9pm I decided to come for dinner. I called the order in so we didn't have to wait as long. Ordered their Earl Philly, the special; buffalo chicken Caesar salad sandwich, bacon fries, and a lemonade. Every thing was amazing and cost around $50. You definitely are paying for the quality, I think it's worth it! read more

EARL = Eat A Real Lunch ... according to Raelyn B.'s review Over eight years ago, I went to the original location at the parking lot between 11th and 12th Avenues. I looked at my old photos and it seems like I had a French Dip sandwich. I think I was too traumatized by that parking situation and didn't finish my review. Today (11-27-22), I dined-in at the current location at Market City (they moved here in January 2022) where there's a free shared parking lot! Yay! Because I've been to the Kaka'ako location for Lobster Roll, I asked if this Kaimuki location had Lobster Roll... Wow! Yes! Amazing... It was the Special of the Day! For $23, the Lobster Roll came with two sides - one was a green salad with papaya and the other was an arancini... An Italian rice ball! The Lobster Roll was on the small side. There were chunks of lobster buried in the shredded meat. I liked the toasted roll and little container of clarified butter. The Yelp check in special was $1 off a drink, so, I ordered a Plantation Iced Tea. It was sweet and refreshing! When the ice cubes melted, it tasted just right! It was challenging to dine in because the air conditioner wasn't working well. I had to find a place where I could feel the cool air. Outside was cooler than the interior. Shucks! I guess it would be better to take out. By the way... Remember to mention that you're part of the Rewards Program. The cashier didn't ask and I forgot... Uhg! Next time! Note to self: get the Cubano, Avocado Bun Mi, chopped salad, and Fun Goat read more

Had to try their burgers, it did not disappoint. It was juicy and moist and just delicious. My cousin ordered the Italian sub, his fav and it was as expected amazing. The waffle fries always has my attention, it doesn't get too soggy by the time you take home to eat (I'm about 10 min away from market city location). The only glitch I have is I can't order on line all the time and end up calling in our order. Which works too, they take your cc over the phone. Parking is available, but sometimes have to go around several times, but you will find parking. This location is pretty simple counter and one person in the front handing out the orders, just pick up and go. Most times our order is ready when we arrive, plus they give you a time when to pick up. read more

Sandwiches are truly unique here. They come out piping hot. The cashier recommended the chicken sandwich and the French dip. Both were so so good. We also got the lilikoi lemonade (nothing special) but the chicken sandwich was very spicy so it was good to have something to drink. Would come out of my way to eat here. Highly recommend. read more

With all the other sandwich spots out there. I prob won't be back to this one, it was 22 for the Italian and they were skimpy on meat. This was the market city location, but had bad experince at Kaka'ako too. Over priced and non friendly service. Not sure if the employees were having a bad day or what but wasn't fun even being there. read more

After reading all of the great Yelp reviews and hearing such great things about this place, decided to stop in for a visit. I visited the Market city location and luckily I was able to find parking quickly.. I ordered and enjoyed their special of the day the crab cake sandwich. While crab cakes are my favorite, I wasn't prepared for the price of my sandwich (28.00). Nonetheless, the price of the sandwich was well worth it! The crab cake was very large and packed with lots of flavor. I actually ended up eating it with without the bun as it was so big, it kept falling out of my sandwich. Definitely worth the stop and I'd like to come back and try some of their other sandwiches on their menu. read more

Sandwiches are mostly top notch, sometimes too much sauce is used. The Italian is our favorite but pricy: it's big enough to serve two or a hungry hungry person; leftovers are just as good though. Friendly staff always! They recently put in a booth or two but we typically take out. read more

First time trying EARL today, and I'll start off by saying I would definitely go back. My meal wasn't a 100% "knock outta the park," but it was still good. I'd like to first point out that I really appreciate having the option to make a phone order. I've noticed some businesses converting over to 100% online ordering if you're not ordering there in person. Not the most efficient process, in my opinion, especially if you're driving lol. To add to the list of 'Positives', the guy who took my order was very friendly and concise, and this continued until we left with our food in hand. Definitely earned an extra star for that! For the food - it was a hard decision since there were several items on the menu that caught my eye, but today, we opted for the Pastrami Single Cheeseburger, Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich, and an order of waffle fries. The fries were hot and crisp.. perfectly met our expectations. Then... Unfortunately... both sandwiches had COLD buns, which was a bit off-putting since I thought they would be grilled as they appear in some yelp pics, not to mention, a cold bun is just a little 'different' for a hot sandwich. Also, the menu (as well as the yelp pics), do not show chopped lettuce in the pastrami single, so that was also an odd surprise and it added to the coldness of my burger. The burger lacked flavor and salt, overall, to be completely honest. Last complaint about the pastrami single!!... I'd also request mustard and mayo or honey mustard with my grilled bun should I ever order the pastrami single again. Ketchup on a cold, dry bun just didn't work for me. My son ordered the chicken sand and he was quite satisfied. I had a couple bites tho, and this thing was very very seasoned.. right at the verge of too salty, and that made my bites into the pastrami single even more unpleasant. Sad face. Closing argument: I'd go back and modify the burger to my liking. I can see and taste the potential in what they are serving, was just hoping the drive from the westside would've been a hit on the first try. Also, for those who are interested in dining in, it seemed like there is table service, it's not just a take-out joint. The space is limited, as this is a small little hole in the wall, but the option is there (if you're with a small party of 4 people or so). Restrooms are outside within the Market City Shopping Center, and parking is available right out front. Oh ya! And don't forget to check-in on Yelp to receive a $2 off coupon on your next visit. Enjoy! read more

Tucked in the corner of a strip mall type place and a stones throw from the freeway in Kaimuki, this place puts out bomb sandwiches like French Dips, Chicago Beef, Cheesesteaks and more. Reasonable prices, friendly local style service, and limited counter seating. Good vibes, excellent sammies, five stars easy. Thinking about my next visit already. read more

Here is how I think you could improve your italian sandwich. first, use sliced cheese not chunks like you currently do. The cheese falls off and the sandwich is too messy. Second, dice the peppers so they are mixed into the sandwich. Currently they are too big and also fall off. read more

Best thing I ate in Oahu is not a moco loco, malasada, guava pancakes, poke or spam musubi but rather EARL's Italian sandwich and a huge box of their salad. First off, huge shoutout to the staff here who kindly answered their phones a minute before closing to politely tell us that Yelp hours are wrong and they actually close their kitchen at 8 pm (not 9!) BUT was willing to wait for us and still make us whatever we wanted fresh. That is some serious aloha hospitality. Another fellow customer also went in after 8 and they welcomed him as well before running to flip their open sign. They made our food fresh and packaged it nicely for us to inhale quickly in our hotel rooms as our last meal in Oahu and there was absolutely no time for any pictures. Love at first bite on that super flavorful Italian sandwich with the taste of the charred bread and pickled sweet peppers and sauce and omg I drool as I write this. Literally just landed back in Cali and am actually really sad that there isn't anything close to their sandwiches here. I guess I'm a sandwich snob when it comes to Italian sandwiches and this is def #1 in my books followed by a close 2nd in Huntington Beach, CA. The salad we got was packed full of fresh romaine and a bunch of other generous toppings and a huge cup of delicious dressing. Salad was really flavorful and I'm usually weary that salads at sandwich shops are just bread less sammies in a box but this was an actual legit salad that I surprisingly also inhaled. Prices are a little $$ but it's Hawaii and I felt that it was well worth it for the portions and flavorful quality ingredients. Thanks again EARL, I'm so glad this was my last meal but sad I didn't get to try it out earlier or I would've had it every day if I could. Until next time, mahalo! read more

Earl's Sandwiches are always fresh and packed full with flavor. Whether it's the pork belly, bahn mi, steak, brisket or goat cheese sandwich it's always good. I love the crisp on the bread in contrast to the rich soft ingredients. I have a friend that lives close by and always too much of an excuse to stop by. Just wish they were sometimes open later. read more

EARL Kaimuki - New Year's Eve Special. $10 Lobster Roll. - Sandwiches Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Wanted to try it because others had raved about it. Went at lunch. First impression? Dingy & dirty. Only menu is on the window or on the counter. If there's a line there's no way you'll know what there is unless you walk outside. Cashier had her hair all over, no greeting, not professional. Ordered their Italian foot long. Bread was over toasted, couldn't taste the dressing, barely any meat & filled with shredded lettuce. Not worth the $24 they charge. Saw the cashier put a large uncovered piece of roasted meat using her bare hands and no wrap. Would not recommend nor will we return read more

AMAZING. That is all you need to know about this place. First, parking is easy to find and free. Second, staff was super friendly from the moment we walked into the door until the moment we left. Every single staff member, yes, including the kitchen staff. They were playing and laughing with our daughter, it was one of the sweetest things I'd ever witnessed. As far as the food goes, solid 10/10 across the board. Best Philly I've had, best fried chicken sandwich, best Chicago dip (that ajus is drool worthy, and best pastrami sandwich ever. Everything was super flavorful and just perfect. I really don't know how to describe it. Chicken was crispy, juicy, garlic sauce was to die for. The sandwiches had crispy yet soft bread and the perfect amount of cheese. I literally am a huge fan of this place and plan on becoming a regular because wow. That's all I can say, wow. The food may not look like much but I promise you, it's worth a million and more. Prices are very fair here and you get your moneys worth, that's for sure. They also do specials, which I 1000% will be trying next time. read more

First time trying this sandwich place, located in Market City. When you walk in, you get a friendly greeting. There is no menu on the wall, only on the counter by the register. I ordered the Pastrami Single Cheeseburger and French Fries. OMG it was one of the best cheeseburger I've ever eaten. I judge places on the type of bun/bread they use, it was a perfect combination. The pastrami meat was tender, no huge pieces. Don't like when you bite a piece and the meat all comes out. I forgot to tell them to cook the burger a little bit more but it was still delicious. The French Fries was Waffle cut style, came out HOT and so fresh!! Ate all of the French Fries before eating the burger. They don't have a soda machine, only lemonade or tea drinks. I'll try one next visit. Always looking for good sandwich places and I found it. Great location, plenty parking and friendly staff. read more
