Excellent food and service! Great local, neighborhood joint with the best oysters, don't miss them. Fresh, like they were just pulled from the ocean. We were celebrating a bride and groom and ordered multiple plates for family style dining. Service was well thought out and accommodating to our request. Great experience.
Food amazing. Plate styling superb. Not only did the food taste great it looked great. Great mix of sides with main course. Service was on par. Never ran out of water continuously checked on our table throughout the meal. Nice patio seating. Was greeted at the door right when we came in. Taken right to our table exactly on our reservation time. Very clean and quaint restaurant atmosphere. Drinks were excellent. Mixed with perfection. I had the chicken salad sandwich. You could tell it was made with fresh ingredients. Side salad was sweet with a slight lemon twist. Bacon wrapped shrimp for an appetizer. Excellent. Hush puppies with honey. Amazing. Crab cakes amazing. Awesome meal. Now go get you some.
Visited on a Monday night with a friend around 4pm, restaurant had only a few guests but plenty of open space so grabbed seats at the bar. Drinks: Frozen Gin and Tonic - fantastic, really great balance of sweetness and citrus/acidity, velvety frozen slushy texture, definitely worth a try if you like G&T's Food: Gumbo - so good, perfectly seasoned savory and spicy, generous with the sausage and shrimp in the gumbo, were with a little bit of rice on the bottom, perfect for a chilly night Clam toast - tasty, nice crispy crusty bread, topped with chopped clams sauteed in garlic butter, ontop of a creamy sauce and a bright refreshing salad, some clams had a slightly chewier texture is my only note but a delicious bite Market Veggies - roasted Brussels sprouts with sweet potatoes and cherry agridoche, hearty and filling, a little sweet from the cherries, a bit of tanginess from the vinegar, a great way to round out our late lunch, early dinner Service was awesome, super friendly staff with great recommendations. Very warm and friendly with great knowledge of the menu both food and drink. Overall had a great meal at Earl's Premier, such a treat for a cozy Monday date night. The variety on the menu is solid and truly some of the best gumbo I've had.
I thought this place was amazing. They have inside and outside seating. The decor is nautical themed. Felt like being in a seafood restaurant on the east coast Service was great Food was good. Crab dip was a hit with my kids. I thought the cheddar biscuits were one of the best bites of the night. Raw oysters are always one of my favorites. Best crab cake I've ever had. My son thought the gumbo was a little spicy but he doesn't handle spicy well. My husband thought it was great. All the pics I took were after my kids had started eating. Definitely going again.
10/10 experience all around! Our waiter, Luke, was very attentive, friendly and helpful. The food was all amazing and super fresh. I loved the ambiance and atmosphere of the restaurant and how friendly and welcoming it felt. Earl's is a true gem!
Okay so first off, Earl's Premier is cute cute. Chill patio, oysters on deck, and that elevated coastal vibe that makes you feel like you're on vacation even though you're still in Kansas City. I came through for a late lunch and ordered the Cod Sando with fries and a Fall Frozen Sangria. Let me just say this, that sandwich is basically the grown woman version of a McDonald's Filet O Fish in the best possible way. It's crispy, hot, and flaky with melty cheese, lettuce, and tartar sauce on a soft bun that holds it all together. Every bite was pure comfort. It gave fried fish Friday energy with first-class execution. I felt hugged and slightly reborn. The fries were golden, herby, and came out piping hot. Dipped in ketchup, they were perfect. The sangria was icy and strong enough to make me forget it was a Tuesday. Service was friendly and easygoing. Jessica R took great care of me and the vibe felt relaxed, not rushed. They had a bottle of water and glass already set up for self serve hydration which I loved. Overall, Earl's feels like the type of place you go for oysters and chill conversation, but you stay for the comfort food and good people watching. Would I go back? Absolutely. Next time I'm trying the grilled fish or something off the oyster menu. But for today, the Cod Sando did exactly what it needed to do. It reminded me that sometimes simple, crispy, and buttery wins the whole day.
I hate to update my review for Earl's as it's long been one of my fiancé's and my favorite spots but our recent visit was a real miss. I specifically chose Earl's over several other favorites to celebrate my birthday (on a Wednesday) and unfortunately, the experience was so disappointing. We spent over $200 on food and enjoyed very little of it. The fried fish and oysters were solid, but every crab and lobster dish we ordered was -quite frankly- bad. The flavors were off and the quality was not what I've come to expect from Earl's. Our server was wonderful and genuinely tried to make things right, but the GM only comped one item so that left us with a $240 tab for a meal that fell completely flat. I left my birthday dinner wishing I had gone anywhere else.
Such a great seafood spot! The clam chowder was one of the best I've had in a long time. It's very rich, flavorful, and packed with seafood. The fish & chips were also excellent, crispy on the outside with a light breading that didn't feel heavy at all. The only downside is that the inside of the restaurant can get pretty loud, so it's not the easiest place to have a conversation. But if you're here for the food (and you should be), it's absolutely worth it.
It's time for Earl's to mix it up a bit. This is the third time I've gone and it's getting harder to find something I want to order off the menu. The menu hasn't changed much since I've first eaten there. Great option if you love fresh oysters as they are flown in daily. The fish of the day was Salmon, a pretty boring option considering you can get salmon anywhere. I would expect something more exciting from a top notch seafood restaurant. The frozen gin and tonic is delicious and truly the only cocktail there I have ever enjoyed. I wanted very much to order something new this time but ended up with my tried and true mussels with grilled bread. It's a great vibe whether you eat at the bar or in the covered patio. Service is pretty good if not a little slow. The outdoor area is good for those with children. Good for a happy hour as I think the apps are more interesting than the mains. Tried the pimento spread and it was delicious with the homemade chips. May have to take a bit of a break from visiting for a while.
We made a reservation here and they were pretty booked out so knew it had to be good! Our server was great in talking us through what to order for our first time here. We were told that we had to try the crab cake which did end up being our favorite. All the food was very delicious and flavorful and had lots of great options! It was very hole in the wall / tight seating but really didn't feel like it once we were sitting down. So glad we got to try Earl's and can't wait to come back!!!
Earl's Premier is a great little Maine inspired neighborhood Cafe. Very fresh Oysters on the half shell and Lobster Rolls. The Fish (Cod) and Chips was also delicious. Recommend the Frozen Gin & Tonic on a hot summer day and for dessert the Key Lime Cheesecake. Also found my new favorite hot sauce, picture below. Our first visit and Jenai made us feel welcome and was an outstanding server. Small place but great Ambiance and did have some limited outdoor space. The bar is small and was packed at 2:00PM on Saturday. Recommend getting reservations for this little hidden treasure!
Wonderful bday lunch with my son. We love fresh oysters we did 2 of each they offered. Then we enjoyed a cup of clam chowder it was so flavorful and creamy I love they put a clam in there. Next we had their Bang mussels we went with toasted bread instead of fries to soak up the delicious sauce. It was my bday lunch and she gave me a Madagascar, vanilla, bean ice cream drizzled with olive oil and flakes salt. It was the absolute best end to lunch! The wait staff is so attentive and knowledgeable about all the oysters. They offer very accommodating. I love the decor and the vibe of the restaurant. Their music was so on point. It was so nice to sit and enjoy my cocktail listening to the music. It's a small place, but so intimate and cool and you can tell they really put a lot of thought and care into serving the freshest and best food they can
Wow, this was super yummy! We started off with cocktails, I had the tulum raider which was not the best cocktail I've had in my life but it was still pretty good, my husband had the frozen rum runner and neither of us cared for it much. Then we had a bowl of the clam chowder, it was super creamy and had lots of clam in it, it also had large chunks of pork belly. It came with two toasted saltine crackers that were delicious kc I thought the chowder could use a touch of salt but my husband thought it was perfect. Overall it was really yummy. Them we had the little gem salad, we split the portion which they brought out on separate plates which was a nice touch! The salad itself was 10/10! The perfect amount of dressing, the cheese was so fresh and delicious. The letter was perfectly and the croutons were fantastic as well. And the star of the salad were the anchovies, we each got 3 on our portions and they were so salty and delicious.al after we said we should have ordered extra anchovies for our salad we loved them so much. We had the No. 1. Seafood tour as our main course. All of the oysters were really good. We did ask for hot sauce as we like it on our oysters but we didn't care for the hot sauce they provided, which is fine the oysters were amazing without! The shrimp were HUGE and I loved the cocktail sauce they came with, it had plenty of horseradish in it which I love! The crudo was good but the sauce on it was on a sweeter side, I still enjoyed it but I prefer more savory for my palette. And the scallop tataki was so creamy and delicious. We got a key lime cheesecake to go because we were so stuffed, ate it at home and it was very good, not too sweet! The place is very small with no parking so prepare for street parking and make sure to make a reservation! We also thought it was a little loud inside but it was tolerable! Our server was very nice and attentive as well. Overall we loved this place and can't wait to come back

Been wanting to try Earl's Premier for a minute, and it did NOT disappoint! We started with the shrimp cocktail--and they were huge!--along with Southern hush puppies. The shrimp were plump and satisfying, especially with the seafood cocktail sauce, which had the perfect kick of horseradish. The hush puppies were a delicious Southern start before moving on to the mains: crispy cod, shrimp salad, and lobster roll. Everything was delicious! My favorites were definitely the shrimp and the crispy cod, with its irresistible crispy coating. The lobster roll was good, but not my favorite--it was generously coated in sauce, which was a little too much for my liking. Overall, though, a great meal and definitely worth trying! read more
Absolutely amazing! We picked this spot out for my birthday based on Yelp reviews and we were not disappointed! It's a small place, so I definitely recommend getting reservations. We got right in and I ordered the frozen gin and tonic. This was based on reviews as I am not a G&T person. It was so tasty. I highly recommend! It tasted like a frozen Fresca. We had the calamari appetizer. For entrees, our table ordered crab cakes, sea bass and fish and chips. We all shared a little and all of it was amazing!!! Because it was my birthday, we ordered three desserts to try. The key lime cheesecake, carrot cake and the chocolate dessert. We loved all of them and each ranked them differently. I can't wait to come back! read more

An absolute Kansas City gem! Not sure how it took me to learn about this spot but I'm glad I finally did! The vibe was impeccable I could almost imagine I was on the coast somewhere. Our server provided excellent recommendations and the food more than spoke for itself. Can't recommend this spot enough and can't wait to come back again and again! read more
Very excited for this new shop right next to Earl's Premiere! I've been in twice since they've opened and am very happy to have something like this close to home. They have fresh Demi baguettes daily, coffee, sweets, and grab and go food. I've had one of their sandwiches, the shrimp orzo, and a greens salad! I've loved it all. It's such a cute little shop and I look forward to see what they carry there. I will probably in a few times a month! read more

Everything about this place is perfect and delicious. They aren't lying when they say they specialize in oysters. These are the freshest and most flavorful oysters I have ever had anywhere, we have to come back for a full dozen. In addition, all of our cocktails were delicious and the lobster rolls were filled with meat. The clam chowder was the first thing in my life that got me to not actually mind bacon. We have to come back to try everything. I love the atmosphere of the restaurant that doesn't make it feel like you have to dress too fancy like other high end seafood restaurants. It's a great place for a casual date or a higher end meal. read more
Too long didn't read version: this place is legit, great drinks, even better seafood, legit lobster rolls that were indistinguishable from the ones I've had in Connecticut and Boston. Oysters fresh and excellent. If you're looking for killer seafood, this is the place to be. One of the best meals I've had in Kansas City ever. Longer version: Simply could not have asked for a better dining experience in Kansas City for my second anniversary with my wife. We sat at the bar and enjoyed a cocktail while waiting for our table to be ready and we loved the experience of sitting at the bar and admiring the decoration and how nice the space was. We were quickly served our drinks and that was indicative of the service the entire night, very kind courteous and prompt, what one would expect for a place of this caliber. My wife got the Mai Thai and I got the Cold Fashioned, they were fantastic and we had a couple throughout the dinner. When we got seated we ordered some appetizers, starting with hush puppies, peel and eat shrimp and I got some oysters for myself. They were all amazing, the oysters were all fresh vibrant and delightful and the mignonette they had was a perfect accompaniment to them, the peel and eat shrimp blew me away and I loved the tartar sauce they came with for dipping, and the hush puppies were so good we had another order to snack on while we nursed our drinks and waited to order our entrée. Finally we both ordered a lobster roll and it was delightful. I've been lucky to travel to Boston and up and down the coast of Connecticut and go to restaurants like Saltie Girl and have their lobster rolls to enjoy and this one sits right there amongst the best I've ever had and wouldn't be surprised if this is the best lobster roll in Kansas City you can get. You can tell that it was fresh, and the people making it knew how to handle such a hard to source ingredient in KC. I'm sure it's flown in but all the same it's an impressive effort that doesn't go unnoticed. The portion was more than generous, and as someone that usually prefers Connecticut style rolls with warm butter, this one completely changed my opinion. The fries that it came with could have been a larger bowl or more but they were well made and the side salad was a nice touch and was a perfectly bright accompaniment to round it all out. We skipped desert, but the restaraunt was nice enough to provide us some sips of wine/ champagne to congratulate us on our anniversary on the house. This might be my new favorite restaurant in KC. Look no further if you are wanting an excellent meal, good drinks, and good service in a wonderful restaurant tucked away. read more

The seafood is amazingly fresh. The staff is nice and always willing to get you to a seat or put you on the list. It's a really cozy place with excellent food. read more
Wow wow wow! Where to even begin?! I've been wanting to go here since it opened, and now with all the accolades, I REALLY wanted to go, but Brookside is a trek to get to from where I live so it's taken me ages to get here but I know I'll be back, and hopefully soon! I will say, when we first arrived, it didn't give the best first impression. The entrance is really crowded (or cozy, however, you feel like defining it) and though we had reservations, it felt a little disorganized. But fortunately we maybe waited 3 minutes and got to our seats and wonderful meal right away. Once I was seated, I could really appreciate the cozy vibes. Once you are at your table, it feels more spacious and while it's a pretty noisy restaurant, it added to the experience, like a neighborhood spot, rather than obnoxious. Anyway, our waitress came by pretty quickly and told us the drink specials. I got the frozen Singapore sling special, and my boyfriend got their play on a sangria. A few minutes later she came back to go over the menu. She gave some really solid recommendations. But we started with appetizers, which were the hush puppies and the crabcake. You can get an option of two crabcakes, but they are sizable and I knew that we were gonna get a lot of food, so we went with 1. I will say one of the most impressive parts of the meal was the speed of the kitchen. We were lucky to be seated right across from the kitchen and they were moving! Plus, it was fun seeing all the different food coming out. Everything looked so good! Our apps actually came out a minute or 2 before the drinks. And holy cow, they were incredible. The hush puppies in particular were mind-blowing. Like if a hush puppy and a funnel cake had a baby. So light and fluffy on the inside and so crispy on the outside. I'd go back just for the hush puppies, but I don't wanna sleep on the crabcake either. Huge chunks of crab and really delicious. I'm glad we got just one because it was quite sizable and really filling. I should add that we both really enjoyed our drinks and as we were working our way through our appetizers, we put in our entrée orders. We ordered the crispy fried fish, their play on fish and chips, and the lobster roll (which was $48 on the day we went, since it's not listed on the menu). Those also came out at an impressive clip. My boyfriend and I were sharing entrées, so I started with the fish and chips. I thought they were delicious. I really enjoyed their play on a tartar sauce, which was very heavy on dill, but with a kick of jalapeño. My boyfriend didn't love the sauce, but I kept going back to it. The fries were terrific. I was saying to my boyfriend that you know some restaurants do a more rustic fry, but I want my fries to feel like McDonald's fries, but better, and that's what these were. Once we both had about half our plates, we switched. And wow, definitely the best lobster roll I've had in KC. Again, huge chunks of lobster on a delicious roll. This also came with fries plus a really tasty side salad, which was appreciated with such a carb/deep fry heavy meal. Fortunately really generous portions. At this point we were getting pretty full but did leave room for dessert. They had an apple cobbler, a chocolate mousse tart, a root beer float, and ice cream on offer. And while I was really tempted by the root beer float, we decided to go with something that wasn't very easy to make, which was chocolate mousse tart. Our waitress asked if we wanted a scoop of ice cream with it, and we declined. And I'm glad we did because it was very rich and really filling and frankly ice cream would've just been gilding the lily. It was really delicious, and I loved use of salt. Anyway, it really was just an incredible experience. Service was perfect. She showed up at all the right points in the meal, was friendly and helpful. The ambiance, once we were seated, was so cozy and warm, and the food was off-the-charts. And what really struck me is how approachable the menu is. It has all the classic "standard" seafood a midwesterner would like - fish and chips, crab cakes, shrimp cocktail, but also options for people who won't eat seafood as well as a significant raw bar for those who do, all in a really small, but smart, menu. Frankly never seen such a concise menu. What more can you ask for? So definitely get yourself to Earl's Premier! read more
