earls has one of the best happy hours in town. they have a great selection of drinks and cocktails on feature during happy hour including food and shareable plates. we came in time for their late happy hour, at the barlow trail, calgary location on a (wing) wednesday evening, a little after 9:00 pm and were fortunate to be served by jade, a personable, attentive and genuinely friendly server. the dining room was busier than their lounge. we like earls for their consistency in food quality and menu, whether we are in bc or alberta. i've considered the celery and dip, when ordering chicken wings as more of a garnish, not an added charge and would rather not have this added on to the bill. most servers at earls don't ask if you want the celery and dip or don't mention that it's extra. i appreciate that jade asked if we wanted the celery and dip with our chicken wings. she confirmed which cocktails are sweet, refilled our waters and checked in on us regularly along with others in her section. customer service can make or break a dining experience and in this case, moved from a four to five star experience with jade's engaging personality.

I am Earls fan but this was just an average meal. It was a Thursday March 1/18. Here's the thing; I ordered the Cajun Chicken with "warm" potato salad & coleslaw. The chicken was beyond delicious as usual but the potato salad was cold. If it's featured as warm it should have been warm. So to make it up the Restaurant Manager did the right thing she comped my dessert. She was was very polite, efficient & understanding. So if you want to keep good people (Earls) like this young Manager...look after her!

Happy Hour Rascal White Wine

We have never been here before so we did not know what to expect. It had good reviews so we decided to give it a try. We walked in and were greeted with a smile by the hostess. We asked for a booth and she quickly showed a nice table near the bar. Our server, Chanel, tole us it was happy hour and there were drink special. They have Happy Hour everyday from 3 to 6. We ordered a very nice white. For our meal I ordered the Swordfish Tacos with Garlic Fries. They had a special sauce with added a very good flavor. The fries were really tasty as it is the first time I've ever had them. My wife ordered the Fish Tacos. Four small Tacos and a House Salad. The food was excellent and the service exceptional. I could become a regular Earl fan if I lived here. Hope to come back here real soon.

Swizzle 67

Earls has completely redone their Stephen Ave/Bankers Hall location and its beautiful! It's a similar layout as before but with some great changes. The biggest one is that they've changed the kitchen to add some "grill-side" seating. The new menu offers different skewers of meat and if you want, you can sit right up front and watch the action. The menu here is almost completely different than other Earls restaurants. They've kept some of the favourites like the ribs, burgers, and the kung pao, but changed up their appetizers, salads and mains pretty significantly. One other big change this location is trying out that you won't find at other locations is that there is a "no tipping" policy. The staff are paid a higher hourly wage which covers everyone from the front of house to the dishwasher in the back. We were actually encouraged by our server not to tip even though we thought the staff deserved a little extra. For our dinner, my wife and I started off with each trying out their new boozy beverage called the Swizzle 67. Its fruity and spicy (flavour, not heat) and served in a tall glass with lots of crushed ice to cool you down. The appetizer we chose was the tomato salsa. Think of this dish as more of a relish than a traditional salsa. Its made with sun-dried tomatoes so its nice and salty and there's a layer of guac underneath to add some creaminess. The best part about this dish is that its carb free. Instead of tortilla chips, they give you wedges of jicama to scoop with. For my main I chose the skirt steak and my wife went with the flatbread. The flatbreat was tasty, pretty standard fair. The skirt steak was excellent. The rub/marinade on the steak was very flavourful and it was served with roasted potatoes. In addition to the swizzle I also gave some beers a try. They were having some problems with their taps so I told the server to just surprise me both times I ordered. The first beer was Alley Kat's Main Squeeze. Sour and refreshing. The other was their house seasonal the Rhino Seasonal Wheat. It was delicious with some slightly fruity notes and just a bite of hops on the finish. For dessert I had the strawberry cheesecake and my wife the cookies and cream. The cheesecake was relatively straight-forward and was doused in strawberry sauce. it came served with a wafer that was almost better than the cake itself. The cookies and cream was interesting. It's chocolate ice cream paired with what looks like a doughnut. When you spoon into the "doughnut" you find that its actually vanilla pudding that's been dusted with a chocolate cookie powder. Overall it was a great night and I look forward to going back to try out their many other new menu items.

Always friendly service and consistent food at this location. Today food was fast and delicious. The server however was very slow to provide our table the bill.

We visited Earls on my most recent birthday - April 14. After entering, we stood at the hostess stand. A few staff members walked by and smiled, but no one stopped or talked to us. Five minutes later, we were getting antsy. More people had walked by, but no one said a word. After ten minutes, we decided to give it five more and then go. Finally someone came (with one minute to go!) and asked if we were being helped. We said no, and he left. We were seated around five minutes later when someone else came. While it took a while to be seated, things went fairly smoothly after that. We ordered appetizers and drinks, which arrived promptly and were very good. The problem was our waiter (Gregory) stank so much that it made us both gag. He had obviously stepped out for a cigarette right before our appetizer course and hadn't washed his hands or popped a mint or anything. The smoke smell clung to him horribly and ruined our appetites. I've worked in service and there are ways to mitigate your smell if you smoke; this was so unprofessional. Our meals arrived, thankfully brought by a food runner, so we had a break from the waiter. The meals were wonderful; 5 stars for the food! Zero stars for the service, from start to finish. So kudos to the kitchen staff here, it's a shame that your front of the house staff isn't more on the ball.

There was one server who had some attitude when she was serving. Ruined the whole night. No complaints with food.

Very overpriced for what you get. People seem nice but I have no idea why you should go there?

I can't say enough about Porch! Such good food, and the ambiance is stunning. Especially for a nice…read moredinner with friends or if you're trying to impress a date. Their salmon was fantastic. I'm always scared it's going to be overcooked, because at many restaurants the fish usually is, but this was perfectly grilled and well seasoned. The bed of veggies underneath had a really nice, subtle flavor that complemented the fish without overpowering it. I also ordered their banana cocktail, which honestly surprised me. I didn't think I would ever like banana in a cocktail, but it was absolute heaven. Smooth, balanced, and not overly sweet. One of those drinks you think about ordering again halfway through. For food, I also had the braised short ribs, and they were excellent. Super tender, rich, and full of flavor. Definitely one of those comforting dishes that still feels elevated and well executed. The decor deserves its own mention. The space is warm, stylish, and thoughtfully designed, and there's an actual live tree inside the restaurant, which is such a cool touch. You can already tell this place must be incredible in the summer when everything is open and lively. Overall, Porch delivers on food, drinks, and atmosphere. Easily a spot I'd come back to, whether for dinner, drinks, or a special night out.

We were originally going to another brunch spot but they were way too busy so we looked up more…read moreoptions on Yelp and came across Porch. We saw they were going to open at 11am, and decided to try our luck by getting there right at opening since we didn't have a reservation. We got lucky and got seated right away! - PARKING - Street parking, make sure you take note of how long you paid for! - SERVICE/ENVIRONMENT - The ambiance inside is so nice and airy, with greenery and natural light shining through. There's also a super cute swing area next to the bar area that you can sit. I really liked the overall interior design! The staff was very attentive for our large party throughout our meal. There are bathrooms downstairs as well. - FOOD - Bacon Jam Benedict ($20.00): Loved the flavor combination in this! The sweet savory maple bacon jam worked so well! We upgraded to the fried potatoes ($4.00) and they were pretty tasty. Carrot Cake French Toast ($24.00): We got one to share with the table, and I'm glad we didn't commit because it was just OK to me. I wish there was more mascarpone filling, and also a different sauce than chocolate because it didn't pair well for me. Winter Nights ($19.00): We wanted to get some greens in and chose this salad. I enjoyed the mix of greens and also the fennel salami which gave a salty bite! Truffle Parm Fries ($13.00): We also got this to share with the table and you can't go wrong with these! - OVERALL - Great brunch option if you have a small or large group! Really nice airy ambiance for a nice start to your day.
