I came in with my family for dinner a few weeks ago and our experience was lovely but our server made it amazing! Qiana was our server and she was exceptional at checking in and creating small talk. Really kind server! read more

Just had lunch with my Family and everything was excellent from the food , service and the atmosphere. One point is that the lounge table they sat us at was not clean, sticky food or liquor residue was all over part of it and had to bring it to the servers attention. read more

good standard fare casual dining This Earls has been here for decades as my go to but the competition has excelled Where Earls has stagnated a bit here. I did a comparison of earls and cactus club to compare food quality, service and ambiance in Calgary North west as several establishments are within 5 minutes drive of one another and a Joeys next door to this Earls Took awhile for my server to attend and it was not very busy I ordered the same dish (Steak frites) at each establishment and here is my feedback taking into consideration variances in cuts of meat as I'm going to assume the suppliers may be the same I prefer Cactus Club as although it is more expensive at $34 vs the $28 here at Earls noting that the Cactus club version is 7 oz vs the 6 oz are Earls. I like the greens at CC better than the Earls kale mix. Fries were freshly made at both but CC beat out Earls on this front as well. So my take is this I love Earls as the gold standard for best Happy Hour meals for this category but this location seems lacking Case in point i asked my server if I may order the Wings but rather than Hot, I asked if they still did Salt and Pepper. I was told yes they offered it I got them but they were very poorly seasoned and lacked flavour. Not the case at other Earls As a regular at top tier Earls such as Vancouvers Yaletown and Burnabys Metrotown and Amazing Brentwood, this location needs an management review as they have fallen behind on the other "family" standards This review was done on a Wed night at 6ish non happy hour and it was only moderately busy whereas CC was jam packed last night at same time which echoes my sentiment that CC is much better and more popular than Earls in the NW All 3 facilities are "related" but I would go to CC given the proximity for quality of food, service and ambiance read more

Stopped for early dinner today with friends. I had the clam chowder which was as good as described. I also had ahi poke bowl. Very tasty. Loved the rice Service was pretty good and prices were fair read more

We had Maggie and she was nothing short of delightful. We asked for partial sun and shade so she sat us in a particular booth. However, when the sun became too strong, she was very accomodating and facilitated a swap to another empty booth where we could have full shade.z We loved that there was a special plant based section of the menu since we are all vegetarian. Staff members brought out a water receptacle for my dog. The food was delicious, as expected based on our previous experience a few years ago. After our meal, Maggie did not rush us at all and offered if we wanted to just enjoy the patio for a while. We will continue coming back to Earls again and again! read more

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. read more

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

Never heard of this place in the east coast and kept seeing it after I move to the area so checked it out online and the menu seemed really interesting to try. Finally got to try last night and although the food was delicious and the price was reasonable for two people I found the service to be really bad. We got seated quickly but it took forever for the waitress to come by to ask if we wanted any drinks and didn't introduce herself, once drinks arrived and we looked at the menu it was about another 15 minutes for the order to be taken for the food. Food arrived but not once did the waitress come to see how things were, refills or anything to the point that had to ask another waitress near by for more drinks. I would recommend this chain for their food but I would suggest trying another one of their locations because the service here was very low compared to other places I've tried. read more

Landed off a long set of flights and was starving, so this was the closest Earls to the airport. Popped in for some food. The burger was not that great, just dull overall. Good service. This location was pretty dated. read more

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! read more

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

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. read more

The girls went for a birthday lunch and as always, the Servers are super friendly and accommodating. Had to wait a while to see a Hostess when we arrived and then 3 descended on us all at once. Of course the meal is always fabulous without complaint. Here is my one (minor) concern... I saw online that they were offering 'Pantry' items for take home. Sweet! So our Server had no clue as to what I was talking about when I requested a few items, but went and educated herself. So I grabbed the cajun seasoning and the parmesan dip and they both came out in paper containers. I thought, for the price, they would be shelf stable. Money wasted :-( We were super stoked the Daily Ritual on Tuesday was half price bottles wine!! Win! read more

I have eaten here a couple of times and enjoy the atmosphere, food and staff. For some reason, I always ordered items I normally don't have at the other Earls. Must be because I was either taking of on a trip or returning from one and wanted something different. I have had Avocado Super Benedict Two poached eggs, smashed avocado, classic hollandaise, on toasted artisan bread, with crispy potatoes Lobster + Prawn Benedict Two poached eggs, lobster + prawns, avocado, classic hollandaise, on toasted artisan bread, with crispy potatoes Earls Famous Clam Chowder New England style, with full cream, chopped tomatoes, parsley, a hint of smoky bacon Quinoa + Avocado Powerbowl Roasted squash, beets, green goddess dressing, toasted pumpkin seeds, crispy chickpeas Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich Hot fried chicken thigh, lemon slaw, sweet pickle, honey mustard mayonnaise, on a toasted brioche bun BBQ Ribs + Cajun Chicken Can't decide? We made it easy, with warm potato salad, smoky bacon, coleslaw All the dishes were cooked just right and delicious. Nice way to take off or return back to Calgary. read more

We arrived at 5:15pm. The place was nearly empty. They made a big deal about making us wait before seating us. It was quite obvious that it was just posturing. When we arrived at our table, there was a happy hour special menu. But happy hour was only 3-5pm, so basically they were promoting their happy hour, but we couldn't order anything off of that menu. The waiter was very nice, personable. I had the steak and sushi, a little disappointed that it came with nothing but steak and sushi. The steak sauce was very salty which made the entire meal salty, and no veggie to help break that up. The food was good, but not worth the premium price, and especially the attitude around having to have a reservation ticked me off. read more

Went for a couple beer and ans some clam chowder, which is normally delicious. Place was pretty empty. Maybe a dozen people on the bar side. 8 servers hanging around the bar. First demoing came pretty quick. Chowder was very watery. Couldn't find the server for 20 minutes. Not one other server even asked if we needed anything, too busy talking to each other. Now I know why I hadn't visited in a long time. Certainly won't be going back. Mayne just a bad night , not sure but too many restaurants and lounges to go to and spend my hard earned money to get bad service and still they demand a minimum 18% tip. read more

This is the Earls that's close to the airport off the Barlow Trail. Gayle and I had both a lunch and a dinner here during one of our trips. She wanted to sit out on the patio with a glass of wine and hear a foreign language. She got her wish, but it wasn't French! I had also told Gayle that Earl's had an "eye candy" reputation regarding their employees. Afterwards, she opined that the Lunch staff must have been in training. We both a casual dining experience with a dash of class and Earls certainly appeals to our Midwest sensibilities. For both of our meals, the food to be tasty, the portions were reasonable, the wine pairings were spot on, and the price was right. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Hell yeah! One of, if not the best veggie burger I've had in town! The fresh bun's amazing and the burger is packed with flavour. Smothered in between, they've slathered beans, sautéed onions, tortilla chips, cheese, and avocado. Mmmm mmm mmm. Are you drooling yet? So saucy! My only complaint was the speed of the service. Our waiter was friendly but slow and not very attentive. Oh! And I enjoyed a traditional Moscow mule as well which I also recommend. I look forward to trying more of their cocktails and other dishes in the future. read more

Cold establishment. Food came out cold and my wife was freezing the whole time. Would not recommend hot food here

Just this past Monday I heard of the new Earls.67 restaurant on Stephen Avenue. I also heard about their new compensation model - the fixed 16% gratuity. First, the gratuity is NOT mandatory - Earls never said that. The media did, along with a bunch of half-cocked, pissed off, people like me... ooops. Sorry Earls. At first, I was like, "What the hell? You're taking away my choice to tip?" After a lot of passionate debate back and forth about this issue on Facebook and LinkedIn, I ended up on a phone call with Craig Blize - VP of Operations. Following the great (and very patient) call with Craig, I headed straight to Earls.67 for lunch (last Wednesday) and let me tell you, my opinion shifted from "no way" to a "hell yes". I came in at 1:30. The place still buzzing from late lunchers. I was seated quickly and within 3m 17s (I timed my entire experience - I know, such a nerd eh) 5:00 - My drink order was taken. 7:30 - a server stopped by to take my order. We chatted quite a bit when I realised she, Christina, was a trainer who flew in from Toronto - her first trip to Calgary. Welcome! 23:00 My order arrived, the zucchini salad (w/no feta) and a chicken breast - just like I asked for. I enjoyed my meal a lot. Took my time. Wrote a few notes regarding a speech I'm giving in a weeks time. I also did a lot of people watching. From what I could see, everyone was enjoying themselves, their lunch dates, and the food. Two different servers checked on me during my meal. Thank you. 41:00 I finish my meal and push the plate aside. Within seconds, a passing server grabs my empty plate and asks how everything was. "Fantastic, thank you." 44:00 I ask my server for the bill before he can ask if I wanted dessert - I have a weakness for dessert so I'm trying to avoid being asked. LOL 45:00 I pay my bill. $21.71 including the 16% gratuity and gst. It's now that I ask the server (Grayson) about the whole 16% tip/gratuity program. We chatted for close to five minutes. I learned a lot. "There's no more competition," he says, "We're not fighting over who has more tables. We just focus on the customer. Before, you'd likely only meet your own server and/or a food runner. While they served you, they're keeping an eye on how many other tables the other servers have in comparison, and if the Hostess is fairly distributing the customers. Now, that doesn't matter anymore. We can focus on the customer's experience. What I took from that conversation was a shift in mindset... it wasn't competition, but rather scarcity. The traditional tipping model promoted competition among the servers and a scarcity mindset. The new model promotes the opposite, an abundance mindset through teamwork. We chatted about other things including the perception of the 16% gratuity. "I've only had positive feedback," he said. After enjoying my own experience as much as I did, I can see why. After first hearing about this new compensation model (aka: tipping system), i was against the idea. Not anymore. Having experienced Earls.67 first hand, I'm an ADVOCATE. 4 Stars. Why not 5? It's a new restaurant, as great as my experience was it was still a little glitchy from a systematisation and customer flow point of view which is understandable considering they've just opened... However the food, the service - 5 stars read more

Earl's is usually solid, I got them for takeout recently and the majority of my meal was good (fries and crispy tofu bowl), but I was annoyed at the size and quality of their side gravy. $2.00 for this thin, tiny portion, really? There was not even remotely enough and it was more like a salad dressing consistency. read more

Earl's is terrible to begin with, the mice thing just puts it over the top. Anyone willing to pay $28 for a sirloin steak deserves whatever happens to them. We stopped in for a beer and a quick bite and were pleasantly disappointed. I don't understand how this place keeps filling with people. A quick glance around offers a bit of a clue; most people look like they have more money than they know what to do with and Earl's certainly caters to that. They'll take your money for you, no problem, and they'll even dim the lights and cast a yellow tone around brown walls to make you feel like you're getting a "setting" for all the money. Because the food isn't it. I just had a few chicken tenders as a snack, but they were rubbery and I was constantly looking at them to make sure they were cooked. Maybe it was lightly breaded mice, I don't know. Anyway, they only thing these guys get points for is the heaters outside that you can turn on and stand under while you have a cigarette. That could be where the money is going, but I doubt it..... Earl's is definitely not worth the hype. If you have a crazy amount of money to spend on food, do a little shopping around or check out some of the places on this website first. You can get much better food, a better atmosphere and an all-around better experience someplace else in Calgary. read more

Came for lunch with a friend,and was approached right away, very nice and friendly server, got our drinks right away, then waited way way too long to get out order in, our server was helping several tables while 5 other servers and/or hosts, are talking in the front desk.

I made a reservation on a Saturday about an hour before arriving. When I arrived - they got me seated right away - YAY! $7 Mojito (2 oz) drink special on a Saturday - YAY! Running out of pasta and after ordering quinoa in a dish - BOO! Taking an hour to get our food - BOO! Attentive waitress - YAY! Removing charges for one main and all appies - YAY! Food portions reasonable, prices - OK, Food quality - above average. During the wait chatting with friends and free wifi helped! This would have been a two star experience - but the waitress handled this very well. If they had the food and were faster 4 star. read more

Starting off with the good: the place is BEAUTIFUL. This restaurant has a luxurious but almost boho feel to it... The decor, the kitchen (which is visible), the seating, even the damn ice cubes are perfect. Amazing job designing this place, down to the details. Secondly, the staff. It seems like everyone is so excited to be working here. The hostess team was fabulous, welcoming, sweet and cool. I was given a complimentary veggie tray with a cool avocado mint dip while I waited for a table which was awesome. A lot of the staff does seem to be very inexperienced with serving and not super knowledgable of the menu, but knowing that Earls 67 hired so many brand new people, it's understandable and acceptable to a point because their attitude is generally very good. Lastly, the food and drinks. The menu is cool but a little bit hard to follow. The food was really good for the most part. Sushi was great. However, we struck out 4 times with drinks! Not only do they have a really small cocktail and wine by the glass selection, but the first 4 we tried were not good at all (the BBQ daiquiri, the wild rose peace and apricot Berliner weisse, the vodka soda--it has lemon bitters which is gross, and the black gold). Anyway I think it's worth checking the place out as is really is gorgeous. Staff is so friendly. Try food and drink for yourself and see what you think! read more

Slow clap for the service at this place. Never have had better service at any Earls. Whoever is hiring staff is doing a solid job. Sarah was accommodating, attentive and a pleasure to deal with. She provided accurate suggestions and recommendations when I had questions about the menu. Sarah was always checking in to make sure we were golden even if she was just passing by. All drinks and food came to our table quickly and hot/cold depending on the item. The kitchen was great, our food was exactly what we ordered and was fast. I highly recommend the shrimp and garlic fries. The happy hour promotions are off the charts, I mean half of there appetizers are on sale in some way. Further, the management truly cares about customers experience at their restaurant. Half way through the night a manager, Clair, stopped by and asked how things were and made sure our evening was perfect. She did this with every table on the bar side I could see. Kudos Clair for being visible and keeping customers happy. To summarize, I cannot wait to go back and will ask o he placed in Sarah's section. Don't bother going to Cactus Club, don't waste your time at Joey's. Head over to Earls when you are in the northeast Calgary area. You will not be disappointed. read more

I've been frequent Earls patron since the 90's and miss not having many out east till the first one opened downtown Toronto. Albino Rhino, bacon cheddar burger, steak sandwich ( not on The menu now), Shrimp pesto pizza. Their basic menu hasn't changed much since day one without exception to some new add ons and seasonal additions. Today I had a bacon cheddar burger and the quality and consistency is the same as the first one I ate maybe 20 years ago! A classic staple that never gets old unless you eat here too often! read more

Earls offers a global menu with modern versions of ethnic cuisine. They offer hand-smashed burgers, premium cuts of steak, seasonally grown fresh vegetables, and desserts and breads that are baked in-house daily so it's always fresh. My girlfriend and I decided to visit Earls at 10pm when majority of the other restaurants were close, we never ate at this hour so we decided to give it a shot. Although we have eaten at Earls before. From experience I would say, no two Earls would look the same. From their outside look to their dinning and lounge to their kitchen view, you'll never see another Earls that looks exactly or close to the same. Ordering was quick but the wait time was not but then again we did went at 10pm where there might be less chefs in the kitchen versus going at 6pm, the start of the dinner rush. We started with their hot wings followed by their Jerra chicken curry and the full combo, a full rack of BBQ ribs & Cajun chicken. The hot wings, like all other places we visited to have hot wings, was dry. It was sauced but wasn't sauced enough so a side of hot sauce was placed. Both the Cajun chicken and BBQ ribs was really tender and juicy but to me the chicken ended up being salty which I find odd. It wasn't the Cajun that made it salty since I've had Cajun chicken before so I would guess the chef threw in a"pinch" of salt to extract the flavours out in order to give that richness and tenderness. The Jerra chicken curry on the other hand is a whole different experience, I've had curry before but this style is really new to me. When my girlfriend and I tried the curry we both agreed that the curry itself taste different as oppose to having it with the jasmine rice or dipped with the naan bread. There's a few things that I wanted to try out such as the new Korean bibimbap rice bowl and Korean hot wings and their peanut butter skillet cookie, I for one is a big fan of peanut butter cookies and was sad I didn't get to order it when I was in. Although the wait time was ridiculous since we went at 10pm, the overall experience was amazing. I recommend giving Earls a try if you want to try something new for a change. read more

Definitely would give 4/5. Very good food, I love their steak and avocado power bowl, and they know how to make an amazing moscow Mule and margarita. Service is fantastic.

My girlfriend and I came in for a 'date night'. We sat in the lounge area on the far end. Our server, Clair, came over right away and brought us water and helped my girlfriend decide on a drink order. We both had the rib & chicken combo to eat. I must say, we were both extremely impressed with the food and service. Our food came out in a very reasonable amount of time and the chicken was cooked perfectly. Clair was always friendly and smiling even if she was just walking around between tables. We sat around for a while after eating and Clair didn't make us feel rushed at all. It's getting rarer to see a server that looks like she enjoys her job, but Clair certainly gave us the impression she did. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was that there was a football game on and the sound was quite loud. Considering I only noticed one table of 2 guys watching it, maybe turn the sound down or even off. Let people enjoy themselves with soft music and conversation. I've never thought of Earl's as a sports bar as I'm sure others don't either. read more
