Lovely light lunch at Earl's. It was hard for us to decide what to eat, the menu is big and has something for everyone! Although Banff had been so crowded the day before it was much more bearable today and that plus the odd hour of our eating made it easy to get a table downstairs in the bar and have prompt service. It was lunch and we wanted to eat light so we ordered a couple salads. They were great! It's a sports bar and they are set up for crowd and fun and watching whatever there is to see, but today it was about a break for a light lunch. They clearly can handle whatever crowd and whatever festivities come through their door. So when you're in Banff, looking for a place to eat, don't pass Earl's because you think it's only a bar. It's a lovely place with a varied menu, great people watching, outside seating, varied menu, and comfortable seats to enjoy a meal or a game or whatever you're in town for. read more

The service is amazing. The atmosphere is good. The views are glorious bc it's situated in Banff Downtown. We were really full but this place came highly recommended so came for a salad. The chicken was a bit dry and too salty. It was difficult to eat bc it was too salty. We told the waitress and she was so sweet she Asked if we wanted the chef to make us another one. We said no but appreciated that they were taking our suggestion. She took the chicken cost out of the meal. We didn't even ask her to do that. Overall it was a good experience and next time I'll try something else. read more

Went for dinner with family and ordered the following items below: Tofu Lettuce Wraps: 2/5 I suggest more tofu and a dipping sauce. Felt like I really just ate a ton of lettuce and a pinch of tofu. Very healthy taste but not a good taste. Vegan Avocado + Corn Street Dip: 1/5 chips were good, the dip however needs work. I didn't eat the cheese as I wasn't sure if it was vegan or not, but the avocado needed a kick or salt to help it taste like something. Margaritas: since it was happy hour, each margarita was two $2 off the regular price. Honestly the margaritas were the best thing I ordered. The passion fruit margarita was amazing!!! The pineapple margarita was okay. My family member's enjoyed their streak and crab cakes. Presentation was great! Overall, if I were to visit again I would try something different. The restaurant has a good number of vegan options. Customer service was great! read more

The service was very good. We got to meet the owner of this franchise, he was very nice and welcoming. I wish their menu would offer more options for dietary sensitivities, specifically gluten-free, lactose free options. We were three people, our entrees were meat based, at around $55 Canadian dollars each, plus drinks. read more

Prompt service and comfortable seating, the lychee martini was perfect. Clam chowder was so tasty I didn't even get a picture. The angry chicken was flavorful too. read more

Didn't expect much from this place when we walked in, more of a mindset of finding something to eat after a day of hiking and be able to sit down and finally rest. We had a local beer, yuzu lemonade, and pulled chicken clubhouse, they were decent. The surprise is sushi taco with crispy tofu. It served with 3 pieces, the portion is not a lot, but the taste was great! Mango and shiso with crispy tofu have right balance of freshness and protein after a long day. read more

We stopped here on a rainy day for late lunch and so glad we did. We got a table immediately on the upstairs dining room where all families are seated. The seating and ambience upstairs is very cool and liked the vibe of the place. We got a couple of chilled Stella beers and they were fabulous. For the food we ordered a few items and liked them all. For kiddos we got the street chicken tacos, margarita pizza, chicken fettuccini with Alfredo. They all loved the items and relished them. For adults we got street chicken tacos, crispy prawn sushi tacos, mother earth bowl and dynamite sushi roll. Wow all these items were so tasty, fresh and aesthetically pleasing to see. Their staff and management are also very friendly. Would definitely recommend this place for a lovely family dining experience! read more

My wife, child, and I came here while exploring Banff during happy hour. We sat on the second floor and they were nice enough to let us order from the happy hour menu from the dining room. Apparently it's typically for the bar only. The food was pretty good overall. We had some wings, steak frites, and the angry chicken wrap. My wife really enjoyed the wraps and the Earls Margarita was great. I ended up order more than one margarita. The wings were good BUT meat on the bone wasn't much to offer. We did however ask for the sauce on the side which was accommodated and appreciated. One big flaw which I see in other reviews was the steak. I'm a medium rare kind of guy and the steak was charred pretty excessively. Steak was essentially medium well with char. I didn't make a fuss about this and ate it nonetheless. Our waiter was also very attentive and polite throughout the experience. He provided good recommendations for us. I don't remember his name but he was tall with curly hair. The overall vibe of the place was nice and calm but I'm sure gets busy at the bar and upper level. Location is nice as well in Banff. We'll be back one day I'm sure and will give 5 stars if my steak isn't overcooked. read more

My friend and I were visiting Banff for the weekend and heard this was the place to visit for happy hour. | s e r v i c e | Our waitress first checked in with us, but we had to ask her for the happy hour menu even though it had just started. She might have had an off day because she seemed to have really low energy. | m e n u | I honestly appreciated their happy hour menu so much. There were a lot of options ranging from drinks to appetizers and main dishes. There was something for everyone! 1. Vegan cauliflower bites: Ordered the vegan version because I wanted ranch but am severely lactose intolerant. They were crispy and perfectly seasoned! Great dish to share. 2. Zen bowl: This took me by surprise because I didn't expect to enjoy it so much. The rice was flavorful, tofu was the perfect texture, and the veggies were refreshing. Each ingredient complimented each other, and it was a light yet filling dish. 3. High balls: straight-forward and refreshing if you want some alcohol without a bunch of sugar 4. White sangria: pretty standard and tasted like juice (very dangerous..) **FYI** Happy Hour is only valid on the lower level which has more casual vibes + a bar! | t l ; d r | Happy hour menu is worth it. Their menu accommodates to different diets such as vegan or gluten-free. Large portions and great for sharing! Definitely stop by if you're in town. read more

We got here around 2:30 pm I think so the place was fairly empty but rapidly became more full as time passed since happy hour is 3-6 pm everyday. We didn't know this when we came but when we were looking at the happy hour menu we were happy to find that it had a lot of the same items as the full menu but at a cheaper price. I think each dish was a few dollars cheaper. Also, our waitress was kind enough to wait until 3 to put in our order so we sat around for almost 20 minutes just looking at the menu. We eventually chose drinks that were not on the HH menu so she took those first and even took our food order beforehand so she could put it in immediately after it turned 3. A+ for service! For drinks, my parents ordered the two non-alcoholic drinks. One was a calamansi-based drink and the other was yuzu-based. I ordered a calamansi paloma and it was amazing. All the drinks were super refreshing. For food, we ordered the dynamite roll, the nashville hot chicken sandwich + fries, the bigger better burger + fries and the salmon zen bowl. Everything was delicious and the portion size is fairly generous especially for happy hour prices. I was kind of expecting smaller version. I definitely recommend their food and their happy hour if you are in town. Well worth it. read more

Service is bad, we seat long and come before different table and the waiters come serve them and no one serve water or take the menu.

We headed in on Saturday evening and they have a low key lounge/bar downstairs that has the same menu. Upstairs is more the dinner tables and a little nicer. We decided to head upstairs. The hostess treated us right away and walked us over to a table. She was very friendly and conversed with us - asking us how our day was. I ordered the the 6oz Black Angus Sirloin. It came with mashed potatoes, a piece of garlic bread, and the a seasonal vegetable that happened to be asparagus - which i love! My steak was cooked exactly how I asked it! Medium well - a little pink in the middle but not bleeding! The garlic bread was a huge slice!! All the food was delicious. I ate almost the whole plate. It was a good portion! Our waitress was also very friendly! She conversed with us about our trip and gave us recommendations. I was pleasantly surprised by how warm and welcome the staff here is! I would definitely recommend. read more

Stopped for drinks and appetizers on a road trip. Food was great (margherita pizza and crabcake) and staff (Ron and Sam) went out of their way to make us feel at home. Found out later that Ron is the owner. Highly recommend. read more

Server was the bartender but you wouldn't have known since he did such a great job of helping us and those at the bar. Food and drinks were great as we had a group of 6 and shared.

Stopped by Earl's Kitchen + Bar on a slow Wednesday night and we had a good time. The dirty martini was the best one I had in Banff. The pizzas were excellent and quite big! The salmon was also very good. It's a good spot for a cozy dinner after a long day of skiing! read more

Earls is another place that I find their branding, their decor, their external presentation, doesn't match their product. Their food is on the threshold of average. But don't get me wrong, if you're going for some chats, a date, or just drinks with the lads or laddettes, it won't be your worst decision. Earl doesn't have to die. read more

I'm giving 3 stars because of the service at desk. We were 2 people on Friday evening. Plenty of other seats available. But at the desk she refused to compromise and squeezed us in a corner for 2 of us. Bitter taste left. Food was good. Our server was excellent. Near to our hotel but customer experience is not considered. read more

Conveniently located off wolf street in downtown banff Ave. Keep in mind you seat yourself and the waiter will come by to check on you. Not sure why they have a reservation system? We luckily had no issues with seating. Did however had to wait a bit on service but it looked like there were 2 or 3 servers. Cauliflower wings 10/10 Beyond burger 9/10 Marguerita pizza 8/10 Overall a good lunch spot in downtown with outdoor seating and mountain views!! read more

What a great visit in Banff! I loved the fact that the restaurant had so many vegan options even though it's not a vegan place. I am not a vegetarian but the food was so good! (Tried all vegan salad, except for beer , which also is vegetarian since no meet or animals are killed to produce it). Would love to come back for desert sometime. Belies were so full, no place for sweets haha. Recommend !!! read more

We (husband and I) flew in here on a whim after flying into Calgary and heading toward Banff for a night away before a Calgary wedding weekend. We were starving but it wasn't dinner time yet but luckily this spot had the perfect happy hour menu. The spinach dip was phenomenal and the buffalo cauliflower was good. My husband was on a keto diet while visiting so we had to be selective with the menu. They have a couple beers that are brewed by Earl's which were decent but the cocktails were much better. My husband ordered a very good old fashioned. The staff was nice and the space was modern and trendy -- yet i did not feel under dressed. The staff was good friends with each other from what i could tell and gave us attention. We sat at the bar but they didn't make any extra conversation with us. Maybe we were just looking extra drab after the flights. read more

The service was fine but the 26 dollar burgers the 3 of us had were possibly the worst burgers any of us have ever had. It's a shame because we have been going to Earl's for ever. The food was a real letdown. read more

Service The service was awesome. The servers were extremely friendly and attentive. They had a smile on their face the whole time and made us feel welcomed. Food The best we had for the time being we were visiting Banff. Our party ordered: 8 oz steaks - cooked to the tee, could use a little more flavoring though salmon - good bbq ribs and canjun chicken - rib meat would just slip off the bone! the canjun chicken was a tad too spicy for our liking Overall, i felt like the plates were very flavorful and great serving sizes. Ambiance Open and modern feel. There's also a bar area Definitely would recommend! read more

Great place to eat away from the crowd and up on the 2nd floor. We got seated by the window and so the scenery was awesome. Upon a recommendation, ordered the Halibut fish and chips.....along with their microbrewed beer....I'm such a sucker for fried fish, fries, coleslaw and hushpuppies.....with beer.....more comfort food. With all the hiking I did up Sulfur Mountain, I figured I deserved a good meal....even if it was fried. I try not to do too many fried dishes, but this was one I just could not pass up! read more

We continue the quest for the perfect happy hour. Earls comes pretty close. The happy hour plan is very good. The bar has their part down pat but the kitchen did not execute as well as they could have. Our bartender was Paul and he was very good. We appreciated that he was there when we needed him and not when we were eating and talking. The atmosphere in the bar area was so comfortable we never made it up to the dining room. The chicken taco were tasty but the kitchen overlaps them and so there is filling for 3 and there is one tortilla without much on anything in it. (Sad face here). The wines were yummy and we took advantage of the 6oz and the 9oz pour, red and white. We tried the steak with coconut shrimp and it was good. The steak isn't the best quality. It was seasoned well but chewy. The stars of the night were the garlic fries and the Cesar salad. I am not sure what the sauce was for the fries but order extra when you order the fries. If you do it will help prevent you from fighting your partner for the dregs. It wasn't pretty. The Ceasar salad was fresh and crisp. Just what we needed to finish out our happy hour dinner. Earls was a good dinner. All the best. read more
