Their sandwiches are delicious Service is great One time I ordered pick up and didn't know they closed early but they waited till i arrived and still made my order They were very friendly and understanding Some materials were sold out so they did refund me and apologized but everything else was delicious read more

Food was ok- I wouldn't say worth the price... the cheesesteak was ok but not worth $20. I was really disappointed in the chicken sandwich... the chicken was half the size of a Popeyes chicken sandwich and it had very minimal sauce.... The fries were good. The gelati though, is a must! Will probably come back here just for the gelati next time. We only tried the mango but they also have cherry and blue raspberry. The service though was great. Everyone there was really nice and the restaurant itself is very clean. read more

First time here at EARL Kapolei. Heard a lot of great reviews from friends so we decided to check it out. Here what we got: Turkey club sandwich combo (combo comes with waffle fries and drink). Chipotle chicken cheese streak sandwich. Both of the sandwiches were good sizes and good amount of meats inside, lots of veggies with great flavor. Chipotle chicken cheese streak was busting with gooey cheese and chipotle sauce, oh so good! Oh, my absolute favorite was their pineapple lemonade!!!! Love anything pineapple but geez, this one hit the spot for me~ I will most definitely be back to try other items on the menu. read more

Went in for the Italian gelati. Tried the mango with custard, it was good and refreshing. Not too sweet. A bit pricey for what we got but worth the try. Person at the counter was sweet and attentive. Restaurant was spacious however I noticed several tables were dirty and floor was sticky. Other than that I would have to come back to try the sandwiches. read more

The place is very clean and easy to get to once you park the car. It's super clean inside and the service was excellent. We ordered with no problem, but the wait was a little while for the two sandwiched we ordered. Okay so here's where it gets spicy about eating here...the PRICES!!! So absurd! We spent $43 on a Philly cheesesteak and a pastrami burger. Luckily we had a gift card or I would never come here for the food, because it's not great or outstanding that I couldn't buy it somewhere else at a better price. I'm still at awe that it was average $20 a sandwich. Would I eat here again? Yes, only cause I have one more gift card left, but that's gonna be it after that's gone. read more

I was craving a burger and visiting my friend in town and he recommended this place to me! I'm so glad we went because it was so good! They inside is pretty big with lots of seating inside and outside. We walked in and there was no line. I had questions about the menu and the women at the register was very helpful and patient while I ordered. I ordered the earl burger woth one patty combo so it came with waffle fries and a drink. The food took about 10 minutes to be ready, and it was nice and fresh. The burger was seasoned nicely, the pickles were not over powering. The grilled onions added such a nice touch and the lettuce and tomatoes were perfectly crisp. The waffle fries were good too! Nice and hot and plenty of them! Sometime I feel like there is never enough fries when I order waffle fries but I didn't feel that way here! I did order a side of ranch to dip my fries in and the ranch was okay, not bad, not the best. And the fountain drink is got was on the money! Perfectly carbonated, not too sweet. Just a perfect meal! Just what I needed! Overall I would recommend EARL to my friends and I would definitely come back to try more on the menu! Ranch score: 6.5/10 read more

Tried Earls sandwich back in October for the first time and it was the most flavorful, delicious sandwich I've tasted on island! I got the cheesesteak sandwich which is my go-to at other sandwich shops and Earls is far better tasting and quality! "USDA Prime Top Sirloin, white American, provolone, spicy mayo, grilled onions, & sweet peppers" The meat quality is good! The entire sub was juicy, not dry at all. Fries are the typical waffles fries. It's expensive but the quality matches the price. Would come back again. read more

EARL Kapolei - EARL's Cheesesteak - Sandwiches Near Me - Kapolei, Hawaii

First timers here. Seen this fast food restaurant in a lot of delivery apps so we figured we would try it out. There are a bunch of different selections of burgers, sandwiches & even chicken tenders which were my kids favorite. The tenders are huge so a 2 piece would be good for 1 person! The Teri burger was good and the early burger single wasn't too filling for my husband. Also, the burgers like most places are sold separate and you need to buy it on the side. One thing I wish this place had were combos. That would help the ordering process of not need to order everything Ala cart. Their desserts are a MUST TRY! My kids loved the Gelati! Over all, probably be back again to try something else different and I'll get my husband a double next time. :) read more

EARL twice in one week? Yeah, it's that good. Located in Ka Makana Ali'i - I've been to the Kakaako location a few times which can get pretty busy but this location is usually pretty chill. Plus there's tons of free parking in the mall- I usually have to get dropped off to pick up our sandwiches at EARL in Kakaako since parking is all paid over there. Another super convenient thing is that you can order online and pick it up pretty quickly. They send text updates when they have received and when your order is ready. I gotta say it, the turkey club here is my favorite turkey sandwich! I love the pesto and the crunchiness of the bread. If your an avocado fan, be sure to add avo to your sandwich- so good! If I'm not getting the turkey club, any of the fried chicken sandwiches- you can't go wrong. Not necessarily a bad thing but these sandwiches can get a bit messy. Be sure to grab extra napkins, especially if you're eating in your car (speaking from experience). read more

I remember sampling EARL's foods at a Yelp event in the 2000-teens & liking it. It wasn't until we tried out the Hot Honey Old Bay Chicken Sandwich that they really caught my attention. That was really good! Now that they send me texts, I am tempted by many other of their offerings. In addition to going back for the Hot Honey Old Bay, I have enjoyed the Caesar Salad sandwich, and also chicken tenders with fries, as well as some of their grinder offerings. SO good. On our last trip to EARL, hubby got a fish sandwich (a weekend special) that was AMAZING! The fish was battered with a light and perfectly crispy coating, and I found myself wishing they made a fish & chips version. Hubby talked about that sandwich for months!! We also tried their breakfast sandwich items right before they took them off the menu. They were hearty and tasty, but alas, are no longer available. Note: if your order comes with sauce, be sure to try them. What we thought was basic ketchup for our fries turned out to be some kind of fragrant, fruity tasting ketchup, (maybe with apricot flavor) that was really good! The other sauces such as the EARL sauce are also not to be missed. I think they make them in house. Since the EARL orders are made upon order, it does take around 10 minutes to get your food, but it is definitely worth the wait. You can stay and peruse all of the unique chips that they have, and read the EARL story that's on the wall while you wait. Sometimes I set a timer and go walk around or run to another store. My food has always been ready when I come back in 10 minutes. The store is very clean, and a nice place to eat in, if desired. There have always been tables available when I've gone in. Staff is friendly and it's a nice, relaxed environment. read more

Finally got to try their gelati which is a mix of frozen custard and Italian ice. The cup I was told is smaller. We decided to try the cherry flavor. They topped it with frozen custard which proved challenging as we were trying to get some cherry with custard. We also didn't realize the bottom of the cup also had custard. So next time we will get one of each instead of the mix because my one daughter only wanted custard and the other wanted more of the cherry. I thoroughly enjoyed the cherry flavor as it was very very cherry tasting. The inside is spacious with a few booths and stool chairs. We came in after 3 so it wasn't full. There were also etch a sketch games for the kids to play and they enjoyed it. read more

This was my second time dining at Earl, and I'm still blown away. My first visit left a lasting impression the food was incredible, and the customer service was outstanding. Ivorie greeted us, took our order, and offered recommendations that we happily followed. Everything arrived piping hot and fresh. On my second visit, we were blessed enough to have Ivorie again. I was genuinely excited to see her -- she's such a lovely person. Once again, the service was stellar, and the food was just as delicious. I can't believe I never stopped here before, but now that I know, I'll definitely be coming back often. Ivorie, mahalo for the wonderful service -- we'll see you again soon! read more

Excellent! If i didn't live in town I'd be there often. Service good! The pastrami sand , yum!! The gelati with frozen custard, yum , yum!

The best sandwich shop on Oahu! Having used to frequenting the Kakaako location for years I was already familiar with their menu... ...but the Kapolei location has Italian ice and soft serve gelato! Game changer! My wife is now addicted to this...we come here weekly just to satisfy her craving. All the sandwiches are delicious! Service is always fast and friendly and the location is always clean and welcoming! Don't skip this place! read more

I asked if we could order and pay for dessert then get it after our meal. He agreed and brought the food to us. Waffle fries are crispy with the right amount of salt/seasoning. My grandson says the chicken tender is crispy and good amount of spice. The Mango Italian Ice with Custard is pretty good too. read more

My husband had been craving Earl's Sandwich Shop for a while now, so we finally made a trip to Ka Makana Ali'i just to eat here. He was really looking forward to it. I usually order one of their chicken sandwiches but this time I ordered their special Fish Sandwich because the past few times I tried to order it, it wasn't available. I was really excited to try it because it looked so good on the socials! It came out steaming hot but unfortunately, I found it underwhelming. The batter was crispy on the outside and the fish had a rubbery texture with not a lot of flavor. The sauce in it was good but it wasn't evenly spread as it started leaking out one side of the sandwich leaving the other half pretty dry and unflavored. It seems like the cheese they use may be cheese product as well? I'm glad I finally tried it but I probably won't be getting it again. My husband ordered their Country Style Chicken Sandwich, but unfortunately, he said it wasn't as good as he remembered. It lacked flavor and could've used extra sauce to bring it to life. He wasn't exactly disappointed, just not as impressed as he was hoping to be. The restaurant is a cute sit down place. I love that they have the history of the store and they have local art in there. I remembered that they didn't have high chairs last time so we brought our own. I'm so glad we did. I guess it's not the most kid-friendly, but still cute :) The service was quick and friendly, and the location is super convenient while shopping at the mall. I'd definitely come back to try more of their menu items. Still a great local spot for a solid bite to eat! read more

Earl Kapolei continues to provide excellent customer service! An employee was kind enough to clean the sticky Italian ice residue off our table. My boyfriend and I HAD to get the French dip. It tastes different from how we remember it, and I think it's due to a change in bread. The sandwich is still delicious nonetheless, thanks to the amazing au jus! We shared a cherry gelati, which is now served in a smaller cup. At first, I was disappointed--but the more I think about it, the more the new size makes sense. I would have to freeze half of my gelati with the original size because it was a quite a large portion. Overall, great good, good service and nice location. Make sure to bring cash because there's a 3.6% surcharge! I personally think Earl prices are big steep, but it's worth the occasional treat! There's not many quality sandwich places on island, so it's worth! read more

Earl Kapolei has burgers, sandwiches and subs. There is ample parking as it is in the Kamakana Ali'i shopping center. We ordered the mushroom burger, Teri burger, waffle fries and 3 drinks. I was taken aback at the drink prices but gotta have drinks right? There is only 1 size for soft drinks at $3.50. The food came out pretty fast and everything was delicious! The soda was a little flat, but the burger and waffle fries were good. We all enjoyed the food and said we would like to return one day. read more

If you love a good SANDWICH or a good BURGER, come check out EARL Kapolei in the Ka Makana Ail'i. Here at EARL's you can have the best of both worlds...literally all in one! Yes... pastrami and a patty together in one sandwich. At first, I was hesitant to order it. However, I thought the combination would be great together so I decided to take a chance. So glad I did! This sandwich burger combination was a match made in heaven! It was deLISH! The sandwich was juicy and tasty. Make sure you grab lots of napkins because you will get messy. My husband ordered...THE CREAMY GARLIC which is a fried chicken sandwich with all the fix'ins and a delicious garlic sauce. My husband enjoyed the sandwich and he said that he would order it again. Together, we shared a side order of waffle fries. It was a nice addition to our sandwiches. Just your typical waffle fries. After lunch, we both ordered a large Mango Italian ice with custard. WOW! This dessert was amazing and delicious! The Italian ice was smooth and light. The custard was creamy and dreamy. Put them both together and you get a delicious concoction! So, if you are hungry for a sandwich or a burger, come and stop by EARL's. You'll thank me for that! read more

I'm so glad Earl is located in Ka Makana Ali'i near Waipahu. It's hands-down the BEST sandwich restaurant on the West Side (I don't to places like Waikiki or Kaka'ako). Plenty of free parking and outdoor seating in courtyard to eat. We tried their $12.95 Combo Special (any Burger or Chicken sandwich, waffle fries, and a drink!). Their Pastrami Burger was so ono, I would've paid regular price for it. Everything is made-to-order so it's as fresh as fresh can be. Staff was super friendly and courteous. Very enjoyable experience. Thank you Earl! We'll be back! read more

Finally went to Earls after hearing all the hype these past years. Glad they have one in Kapolei now in the Kamakana Alii shopping mall right outside the food court. Couldn't make up our mind as to what to get and so the counter help did just that, helped with our decisions. I got the classic cheesesteak sandwich because the other cheesesteak options had sweet peppers in them. My sister was trying to decide between the mushroom and the Teri burger. The counter help recommended the mushroom burger. We also got the bacon fries. My sisters mushroom burger was messy but she was happy with it. I enjoyed my cheesesteak. Some iffnit fell out and I tried it with the bacon cheese fries and recommend they also have a cheesesteak fries. And they have tux. My favorite are the kettle chips which they didn't have today. So i got the chips with ridges. We also got the large Italian ice with frozen custard. Had to bring it home because it was a lot. A small Italian ice would do. I also tried the frozen custard with the fries. Loved it. Restaurant is basic. Classic-style fast food bench tables. Nothing impressive except for the food. Busy restaurant so grab a seat first and someone can order. All-in-all a good experience. Will try the fridge chicken and Teri burger next time. read more

Easy parking, love the service. Very sad to report they're out of frozen custard and gelati due to shipment. But Italian ice is still available. Tried out the Italian 12 in, happy campers. The sub was packed and stuffed with ingredients, they were not stingy at all. Also sad to inform they're taking out the fat veggie, still need to edit the menu they said. Could always customize the sub tho and have add ons. read more

Called in to order the French dip special, the sandwich was great I enjoyed it. However the service was lacking for 2 reasons. They placed the onion soup in the bag sideways for some reason and because they stapled the bag shut id have to rip it open to check which why would I do before I got home, so it began to leak on the way home staining my pants. Additionally, they did not inform me they weren't taking cash like they normally do so when I go to pay you have to pay the service fee if you want to get food there which they should inform people when they call to order. read more

EARL Kapolei - Onion dip leaked all over bag - Sandwiches Near Me - Kapolei, Hawaii

Located in Ka Makana Ali'i, lots of parking in the front. Was pleasantly surprised that the staff was friendly and welcoming, unlike when we went to the location in Kaka'ako. The girl taking our order was patient with all of my husband's questions and our order came out fast and nice and hot. My husband ordered the Creamy Garlic Fried Chicken Sandwich, he said it was crispy yet tender chicken breast on a soft Potato Roll. He enjoyed it! I had the Reuben Not on Rye sandwich. Served on a Po Boy Roll which was a little too hard for my liking, but the Pastrami was plentiful and had very little fat. It was tasty with the sauerkraut and caraway dressing that gave it the rye bread taste. Also ordered the Bacon Waffle fries which was just ok to me. For dessert we had the Frozen Custard with cherry Italian Ice, delicious! I would definitely come back for the frozen custard! So glad the Kapolei location visit was a much better experience than the Kaka'ako visit! read more

Lunch in Kapolei, Oahu, Hawaii... My friend was talking about a "new" restaurant called EARL. She asked me: "Do you know what EARL stands for?" I answered: "Tell me..." She replied: "Eat A Real Lunch" LOL... My friend, Noreen, is really cute! I said that we should go there... and we made plans around our family obligations... She brought her grandson in his stroller... he enjoyed the soft bread from her sandwich! We both found easy shared parking at Ka Makana Ali'i on the Cheesecake Factory side of the shopping center. EARL Kapolei is between Old Navy and the food court, next to Aunty's Hotpot House. Ordering from the tablets was easy, but confusing in a way. We thought we ordered Pastrami sandwiches, but ended up with "single" burgers with Pastrami in it - along with pickles, lettuce, onion, tomato, and cheese. The bread was a bit mushy for me, but that's ok... we enjoyed our short break from our families and appreciated the clean, bright environment! Note: Noreen had ordered a complete meal that included chips (she had to go back to the counter to get a bag), a drink (self-service), and a side of waffle fries. This THIRD location might be better than the Kaka'ako shop because of the parking situation. The Kaimuki interior is a bit smaller, but the food in all locations is consistently great! read more

My bestie and I saw a uber eats deal on their sandwiches and decided to do a pickup order. We ordered two Creamy Garlic chicken sandwiches and a Mango gelati to share. The chicken was very crisp and was not dry at all. The sauce was good but as a hardcore garlic lover I could have handled more! The bun was nice and soft making this a delightful and not overly filling sandwich. The gelato was not too sweet and the custard is soooo ono, I mean I still think about it everyday. For a quick sandwich stop, I definitely recommend checking this place out. It can get busy so I do recommend placing your order via phone call or their website. There is about eight tables to sit at as well. Can't wait to go back to try their other sandwiches read more

The restaurant is clean and the staff were very nice. The food has potential to be great. The bread is amazing! We purchased a hot honey chicken sandwhich and it came on a bun that was like sweet bread. The chicken was very light and crispy! Definitely Good. But the cheesesteak bread is the star of the show!! Crispy baguette style roll was delicious even with no meat. However there is a generous amount of meat on the sandwich and cheese, the menu says there is chipotle sauce on it but I didn't taste or see it, I felt like some sauce would have given the edge it needed. It was good don't get me wrong, but it didn't look even close to the commercial I saw. So was a little boooo about it, but it was good. The fries on the other hand were served cold, cardboard style. I saw them under the lamp thing when we came in and it was a while before we were served. Super unimpressed by that. I took them back and asked for fresh ones, they made them for me no problem. Over all I will definitely come back because the cheesesteak sandwich is a winner. But my excitement was diminished a smidge. Will try the one in Kaka'ako and see how that turns out. It's sad today in Hawaii, adults can't afford to work at food service jobs so there are only kids working at the last 5 or so places I've been too. The level of preparation and service is just not there. There is a great deal of laughing and talking, not an issue in general, but when your food takes long and some of it is cold, makes you feel read more

Went for the first time to the Kapolei location today 3/14/26. While I am happy that the food is made-to -order fresh (I could hear the crankling of utensils) hubby could not finish his Earl's Cheesesteak. Not because he wasn't hungry, cause he was, but because it was way too salty!! He asked me if I wanted to try it so I picked the meat that fell out of the bread. And yes, it was too salty!! The ambiance is clean, the person taking my order was nice and did her upsale of the Waffle Fries - that was salty too. We did not finish it. Unfortunately, my husband said, and I was shocked, the only thing that was good here was their soda, it had a fizz and not a flat soda. I said maybe we should come back and try something different, but he said, this place is good for once a year thing. What could improve? Be mindful on the salt, don't be heavy on it. Easy really does it. Thank you for the opportunity to share a review. read more
