Wow , we were there for Unhappy Hour today. First time since our last disappointment! It was a 1/10!! WTF Earls where did the heart go?? BS music with a house full of families?? No half price cheap wine for HH??!! Saving grace, service was as usual, awesome. If I had a "hospitality service business " I would recruit 75% of your staff. Don't forget what people flocked here for 15 yrs on a Friday. And now they all have families Sorry but we're done! read more

Stella was our server tonight and she was unbelievable. Drink never had the chance to go empty and service was top tier. Good hire by Earls as we will be coming back again! read more

Go during happy hour. They have happy hour every day of the week from 3:00pm - 6:00pm. Most businesses only do happy hour during the week from Monday - Friday but there happy hour is on the weekend too! read more

Wow went for dinner this evening and was completely disappointed in the entire Experience .With the meal being 160.00 plus it wasn't somewhere we will Be returning anytime soon.Two pizzas,chicken Alfredo and a pulled Chicken sandwich .Nothing that we would be returning for . Burnt crust but raw dough in the pizza ,dried out chicken in the sandwich and limp oily ceasar Salad as a Side to The sandwich .we had reservations and we were Placed outside on their patio area with lots of windows direct sun that blinded us at the table no blinds to be pulled down for the entire time we sat there. I mentioned to the waitress and she seemed unconcerned about it.Her response was ya it's super bright .If we had known that it was a prerequisite to Wear Sunglasses to A Restaurant we would have brought them with us. Maybe the chef should Do some Checking before this food is sent out as it was really poor Quality ,raw, understated and far too expensive for the amount of money that it cost read more

Okay don't have the crab cakes! I never pass on these pure fusion of fresh crustaceans and flavor. But this??!! Do yourself a favor, Chef and head to Chesapeake Bay and understand what people expect as a crab CAKE! Please make that dish authentic otherwise another friggin role! read more

I Like the happy hour deals. They happen from 3-6 daily ? The service is usually pretty good and friendly as well. I like the indoor/outdoor heated patio area for dining. We went went the temps were pretty darn cold, like -25C or so. It was still cozy on the patio. I believe they have blankets if you get cold easily. Come here for decent, consistently good food at a fair price. read more

Last night of Calgary trip and decided to try an Earls for the first time. Very disappointed in the experience considering we spent $170 (2 adults 3 kids). For starters we called in advance and asked about availability. We were told they had 4 booths available that could accommodate 3 kids and 2 adults. Upon showing up (10 min later) we were told we'd have to wait 40 min or squeeze into a "squishy" booth. It was almost as if they didn't want us to stay. Food was sub par for the price. Kids chicken strips were over cooked, adult poke bowls were small for the price. What was most disappointing was the calamari appetizer. It was mostly vegetables and fried crumbs. We mentioned that we were disappointed....the manager came over and said sorry and thanks for the feedback.....but still proceeded to charge us $17. Sorry...We won't be trying Earls again when there are so many similar options (Browns, Milestones, etc). read more

Have been here several times and usually have a great experience! Friendly staff and consistently good-quality food.

Earls is like a locals spot that you can go to and you know consistently you will get the same service, food, quality at any location. Some locations restaurants are much nicer then others. read more

I've been here twice for lunch and while the food and service have been very good, the noise level is so bad that it's difficult to have a conversation. Part of the problem is that they play thumping "music" even when the restaurant is full. read more

Service: the waitress took a few minutes to even acknowledge us. She was nice, but she didn't ask how we were or anything like this. Food: I ordered 6 oz sirloin steak and chicken alfredo. The food was about 6 out of 10 and REALLY NOTHONG SPECIAL. The steak was not tender and chewy. The chicken from chicken alfredo was dry and the pasta was not seasoned properly and not creamy. Atmosphere: the atmosphere was hip, but not too classy where you'd had to wear slacks. Music is nice. Cleanliness: the place was clean and tables wiped. The bathroom had toilet paper and paper towels. read more

It was nice to finally go out to a restaurant, it's been quite some time since we ventured down to one. We sat at the patio which I must say was quite nice. The patio itself had warm colored stringed cafe lights, high couches, and overhead heaters. The waitress was very friendly and really gave us just the right amount of time between visits. Refills were right on time, water had lemons, and wings had wet naps, in other words spot on! Now I really can't say the same for the food. It was quite mediocre. If it wasn't for the atmosphere and service, I'd say the food would have warranted a lower star review. The chicken was well seasoned but dry, the sandwich bread had no flavor at all. Nothing was terrible - but everything was a little average. I'm somewhat torn because the atmosphere and service compels me to put up a 5/5 star review and the food pulls me back to put a 2/5 review. Definitely worth it to get out, but maybe they can work on their food a bit. read more

After a few visits here, things seems to be getting better with each visit. On my first visit I had the mushroom steak. It was meh and so was the service. The manager even came around to ask how everything was. When I told her how disappointed I was with the steak she did nothing other than to explain that the staff were being trained to better cook steaks "next week". Next week?! What about my steak tonight? Mojitos were on special that night so that was about the only thing that made up for the bad food. Though they don't muddle the mint enough in their mojitos. My second visit involved the Dominical Fish Tacos. They were a little better than average and much better than the steak on my first visit. Again, it was mojito night. Still no muddling. My visit last night was quite impressive. I tried the crispy chicken with avocado & tomatillo sauce. It was excellent. I couldn't believe that this dish had come out of an Earls. The skin on the chicken was perfectly crisp, the avocado sauce had great flavour, and the roasted veggies were done to perfection. My only complaint about the meal was the tortilla soup. It was good, but I've had much better. If things continue to improve then I might have to make my visits a little more regular. read more

Food is always tasty and fresh the times I have been. The tempura sushi roll is surprisingly very good for a non Japanese restaurant. My fav dish is the Cajun Chicken Sandwich always cooked to perfection. The staff here from host to server are very friendly. read more

We had a good meal with great friendly service from our server Jenny. Earls is a nice community restaurant. Highly recommend!

I haven't been to this earls since they got their new patio glass covering but it's super cool and looks very modern. I have always like the insides of earls restaurants, it is very classy. I also tend to get pretty good service. The food I would consider average though. This specific time around I had there southwest veggie burger and it was a tad bland. It can be hard to get a vegetarian burger right, and they could still work on it a bit. Their garlic fries were good however. read more

I have been going through a terrible divorce the past few months, and live close to this spot. I started coming in for happy hour, as it's cheap and the service is generally pretty awesome. I've taken up smoking again unfortunately due to stress; and this afternoon was the second time a bartender had commented rudely to clients next to me about the bar smelling like an ashtray. Don't judge, you have no idea what people are going through. - Not sure if I'll be back. Could do without the shaming. - By the way...... have continued to read reviews on this spot and apparently it's not the place to be. I won't be back and definitely would not recommend visiting any time soon. read more

Big group went out for a Christmas lunch party. I know that big groups can always be difficult and I know we were a rowdy bunch. Over all the food was good we had one of the meals get sent back but every thing else was good but nothing that really said wow. read more

Your happy hour needs a makeover. Poor value. Ouch. Too pricy compared to competitors within walking distance. Has the Earls franchise become that arrogant that it doesn't have a look in the rear view mirror on a regular basis. A few examples...2, 5oz wines are $10 but a 9oz is $11? This is a layup. Wings. These are the scrawniest wings I've seen in a while. The Shark Club, Cattlebaron and Mugshotz. Far superior in taste and value. I can't understand why people patronize your shop. I'm a native Calgarian and remember fondly going to Fullers and then Earls when it was launched. The Tin Palace! It was the Gold Standard for many years. Not anymore. read more

Earls, is well, Earls. Yes its a chain but definitely much better than most. Always get great service here, and have my favorites such as the curry, blackened chicken with fettuccini and the hunan kung pao. They make a fantastic house caesar also! read more

Well hello from very south lol!! Dropped in earls with My hunny after getting car things done nearby. We come here again now that they serve Canadian beef, although we didn't order any haha! Had the new Korean wings extra crispy which were AMAZEBALLS, regular hot were good, leroys ribs good, mini happy hour meat pizza very good. Our Caesar salad was not up to earls standards nor ours so it was promptly sent back and replaced with a beautifully done classic Earls Caesar salad by the chef....which we ate enthusiastically (salad not chef). Tavin was our server and he took very good care of us he was a wonderful server! All in all a great experience. read more

After a recent visit to this restaurant, I decided it was high time for an updated review. I came here with my cousin on a busy Friday evening and we requested our standard corner booth in the lounge. It was about a 30 minutes to be seated, as there was a long lineup, but it was well worth the wait. As always, we start off our meals with calamari and red vino. Next we sample the Margherita (another staple), the Bronx burger and chicken Caesar salad. Then came the 'pièce de résistance' at the end of the meal.. Our server mentioned the warm chocolate banana cake feature and the rest is history, folks. It was so moist and delicious, served a la mode. Just thinking about it makes me hungry.. This is definitely the place to be in the 'burbs on the weekend.. It's always super busy and the parking lot is usually packed by 5pm, so come early or make resos. Eat. Drink. Enjoy. And if they happen to have the banana cake on feature, holla at your girl so I can have some too! Just kidding.. Sort of ;) read more

Had a nice dinner with the family. Our sever was polite and was able to explain the menu well. The food came out quick and was good. I really enjoyed there clam chowder. The restaurant was clean but it was a bit too noisy with all the people. read more

The food this location serves is terrible. Definitely not made by a chef. There was almost no one in the restaurant but still waited over 45 minutes for food to arrive. I'd steer clear of this one. read more

First time at Earls, and probably my last. First off, there was broken glass underneath my table, and i brought my two children with me. Second, our waitress forgot my drink (and i asked for water..) she forgot to fill up my boyfriends drink (it took her our entire meal to refill it) and when she came back with it she said, "Sorry that took so long..". Why would it take you over 10-15 minutes to refill a drink when the restaurant was pretty quiet.. ALSO i found a hair in my food, and no it wasnt mine because it was burred in my god damn food *sigh*, i really wanted to LOVE Earls because ive heard such great things, and maybe the day we went our waitress wasnt having the best day... All in all, service was bullshit and the food was meh. read more

I previously wrote a review on the terrible food I got mid-December, and Earls reached out promptly. They invited us to have an experience on them, and hopefully correct the wrong-doing. Alyda & Sarah were very professional and pleasant to deal with! The food was amazing, and far from the experience we previously had. I will definitely be coming here - perhaps not for dinner, but definitely for a Steak or Salmon! We also tried the sticky toffee desert that was recommended, and it was delicious. I can't say enough good things about their prompt response with our other experience, and how they rectified it. Thank you again for having us! =) read more

Best wings and dessert. Happy hour is great quailty food with better prices. Wing night Wednesday is awesome. read more

The server was pleasant but the food sucked. 3 of our party had the bacon cheeseburger. All of them were cold, over cooked and wayyy too salty. The fries were also cold. Another three of our party had the ahi tuna but they were quite satisfied with their meals. Also the drinks were poor. We had 2 pitchers of margaritas that were tasteless and a couple grapefruit negronis that tasted like burnt oranges. There are too many other choices in the area to bother coming back. read more

Same-old Earls, completely average food and service at a price-point higher than it should be. Not sure if it's really somewhere I need to revisit. BTW, "sticky toffee pudding" isn't just chocolate cake topped with caramel sauce. This on the heels of my super-greasy fish and chips (served without tartar sauce?) helped put us off. read more

Two disappointing visits in the last two months. First time our waitress was incredibly inattentive. This being Sunday at about 3pm so it was not at all busy. We waited along time to get service and she never checked our meal after it arrived and we received no refills. Eventually we got up to pay our bill as it seemed obvious she was not coming back. Very poor service. The second time was Tuesday at 1pm. Ordered a burger that tasted like it had an entire salt container added. I could not eat it, it was so disgusting. I sent it back and the waitress asked if she could get me something else, so I got the veggie burger. Also very disappointing. What's up with all the extra added salt as also just rolling in salt. Is it to try cover up the "age" of the food and preserve it longer? It was also so disgusting I could eat only half. I don't normally write reviews but felt strongly about this to actually write it, that's how bad it is. Save yourself $18 and get a burger from 5 guys instead. read more

Earls is always pretty consistent. We have been to this location many times and they are good at making up for mistakes if any. Steak was cooked properly and veg was good, just a little salty. read more

First time in earls, great food and great service, lovely restaurant, well decorated, amazing place to spend with family and friends. Will come again for sure. read more

My fiancé and I go to this Earls once ever few months and have always had a good experience. My favorite meal has always been the top sirloin steak with the horse radish. But tonight my meal was a total let down. Mt steak was cooked well when i had asked for medium and they had changed up the horse radish. The reason I'm giving it four stars is because of the customer service. They fixed my meal and explained the change made to the menu. Also the Manager Sammy told me how to order the my side of horse radish so i get it done right next time. As for my steak coming out well done that was crappy but easily fixed. Always great staff and great service. I'll be back read more

My husband and I frequent this Earls a lot and we really enjoy it! We brought our staff here for our Christmas party as well and the service was awesome. Our favourite thing to do is come for appys and drinks before the big dinner rush during the week. Will definitely be back again soon! read more

The food and service is very good It reasonably price although there menu is thin The restrooms are clean and friendly staff

The white sangria was very good and the pizza better than I expected... The service was very friendly, and the ambience was good... In general, I have nothing to complain, even when is not the best place I have been, I would say this is a good place for lunch, if you are in the area... read more

A good place to eat and drink. It is nice to have variety in the south! Service can be hit and miss but the food is generally consistantly good. Good deal on Monday for $5 Corona. Also, the BBQ Back Ribs and Cajun Chicken are really good - full order is massive. Wednesday is a good wing night too! read more

This is a go to for me ordering meals for executives at work. They always rave about how good the food is. That said, dining in is a terrible experience. Male dominant tables receive far more attention and better service than tables with females. Servers do not make eye contact let alone look the way of a female. Males empty drinks are noticed far quicker and attended to before females. I am a firm believer in tipping and will tip well when deserved. I can appreciate if a restaurant is particularly busy service can be lacking but if it is slow there is no excuse to be overlooked. This is a reoccurring problem and management should address the sexism with their servers. read more
