Love this place! Whenever I go to Earl's Sandwiches, they always serve good sandwiches. Always a decent value for the quality sandwiches they sell and everything packed within two slices of bread, especially the meats! The meats are baked--prepared in house, so you know you're in for some good eats. My all time favorite here is the House Roasted Turkey Club! When I tell you this sandwich is stacked!....its an understatement. The turkey is house roasted and piled high.....And, so tender and juicy. This sandwich is a must try and I recommend. During lunch time frames, it could get busy but it is worth it. Wait times and queuing can be a bit long but it's fine for the sandwiches I get. Also, online ordering is available which help when you don't have time to wait. Not to mention, they provide an online tracker that lets you know when your order is almost ready or available which is very helpful when picking up your order online. It's very helpful when strap for time and you are in need for something quick or planning a drive to their shop. In all, you can't go wrong with this place. The vibe is casual. The interior is minimal and seating limited, but the sandwiches are on point. Definitely try this place when in the area or in the mood for a great "sammie"....upgraded from the days when your Mom used to brown paper bag it and make them for school lunch days! lol Eating here just gives me those kind of feels...... Enjoy! I highly recommend!! read more

Cute little local sandwich shop. Tried the turkey cranberry with Brie. Was hoping it would be more flavorful and seasoned so I had to use like 5 packets of hot sauce. The turkey you can tell is fresh and the bread they use is so good. Overall solid place but if you want a little more punch I wouid add salt or hot sauce. read more

Pretty good sandwiches, always stuffed with all the fillings! I like that you can get half sandwiches. The turkey cranberry and chipotle turkey are both great. The vibe is like a small family owned shop which is super cute and the service was pretty quick! A good lunch spot if you live in the area read more

great turkey cranberry sandwich! I did online order and it was ready when I got there

Someone sent me a 1/2 turkey sandwich with the cranberrry and avocado. Wow. So delicious. The bread was so fresh! The turkey must have been freshly carved. Cranberry sauce the perfect tangy/sweetness ratio. It came with a couple of cookies but I haven't tried them yet. Putting this place in my permanent rotation!! How have I lived so close and missed this gem so many years?! read more

Great and sandwiches and good service. Very filling and quality ingredients! Delicious.

Dependably delicious--best sandwich in town. Chill, dedicated employees, who care about the product. Clean tables, good music, ample selection of sauces, free refills on drinks. My go to: the "Pork and Fries" and a self-mixed Arnold Palmer. I've been eating at Earl's for twenty years. Just as delicious as ever. read more

Just an amazing little place. The owner is a cool guy originally from Massachusetts. He runs a great sandwich joint that is loaded with great delicious options. I love the place and it was packed the afternoon I went in. I love independent sandwich delis like Earl's. Please support them. It won't be hard because the food is delicious especially the fish sandwiches. Jason B. Ashburn, VA read more

THE sandwich shop in the Clarendon/courthouse area! I love their special sandwiches that rotate every month and always get sad when the month comes to a close seeing favorites leave. They have convenient online and phone ordering but even when I can't call ahead my order is always ready in lightening fast time. Everyone is always happy to provide recommendations when I'm undecided and I appreciate their craft soda and chip options. If anything ever happened to Earl's.... I can't even imagine. read more

So good! I've had this place bookmarked forever and I'm so glad to finally try it out! Found street parking nearby. Indoor and outdoor seating is available. The sandwich shop is clean and super organized. The cashier was incredibly friendly and helpful. Restroom is in the back and clean as well. There is also a diaper changing table in there. Tried their Roast Beef & Cheddar Sandwich, Sweet Potato Fries, Hand-Cut French Fries, and Fish & Chips Basket. It was all very good! Quality ingredients are used and the flavors are all there. Nothing was overly salty. The portions are generous. What a lovely sandwich shop, with amazing options. Can't wait to come back and try some more of their menu options. read more

Came here for the first time recently and really enjoyed it! I opted for the Turkey Club. Love that the turkey is carved from real turkey meat and is full of flavor. In retrospect the additional piece of bread is unnecessary and ended up making the sandwich a little tricky to eat. I heard from a coworker that the cubano is the thing to get here so I'll definitely be back to try that! read more

This place had potential but unfortunately they don't season any of the ingredients in the sandwiches. Either that or the staff working there just forgot. Everything tasted beyond bland! What a disappointment! read more

Great sandwiches at a very reasonable price. Always friendly! I've been coming here for years! Great place!

Really enjoyed trying Earls today for the first time! I tried the turkey cranberry and the chipotle turkey. I love that you can get half sandwiches so you can try different ones without breaking the bank! I really enjoyed the cranberry sauce on the turkey cranberry sandwich. It was really busy in a Saturday afternoon but the wait was only 15 minutes. Not much seating inside so recommend taking it to go! Only recommendation would be for the bread to be more toasted read more

Was drawn to this place because of the good reviews; however, personally I am not a huge fan The steak and brie was not what I was expecting. To me it tasted like a worse philly cheesesteak. The hand cut fries were really good. The turkey club was decent but nothing amazing. read more

Food was very good ... had the Beer Mustard BBQ sandwich (roasted pork loin) with fries (skin still on the fries) and my wife had Mixed Green Salad with grilled chicken. read more

I've came to Earl's many times. IT IS AMAZING. The meat is right off a Thanksgiving turkey it taste like. Food is 5 Stars. I live in Detroit now but stop here every time to take a sandwich home with me! The young man at the register was very kind with great service! read more

These sandwiches are what dreams are made of....delicious, lasting memories. The fish & fries - crispy and there's fish inside, not just the fried batter. The salmon BLT is made to perfection. Have friends/family in town - take them to Earl's and no one will be disappointed. It's usually busy but the sandwiches are worth the wait - just place a to go order. read more

Really delicious sandwiches and quick service! Even being busy it didn't take that long to get our food. The turkey cranberry was especially delicious. Took the food to go, but they also have tables inside and outside to eat there too read more

I know this is a Clarendon/Courthouse favorite, and that they make turkeys and pork fresh. You definitely get brownie points for that. But I think that although they have a lot of sandwiches in their menu, they are all starch heavy; you will see that many of the sandwiches with also have French fries inside. I would love to have simpler sandwiches that incorporate fresh lettuce, tomatoes, and onions; there is nothing wrong either keeping it classy and adding variety. Their Cuban sandwich interpretation is good, but again, this is a classic not to be messed with: baguette (not a club), regular mustard (not honey), thinly sliced pickles (not deep fried), regular ham (not prosciutto). Service is always friendly and quick to deliver your sandwich in time. There is room for improvement and making it the go to place before the restaurants across the clarendon's Whole Foods takes over. read more

I was fully expecting slices of deli meat on my sandwich. Nope! Chunks of freshly roasted and moist turkey with a delicious cranberry relish and salad greens on a multigrain bread. I was smart, and I only ordered a 1/2 sandwich. I also ordered a 1/2 order of fries, but they really needed a sauce of some sort (I ordered delivery, and there was no place to request ketchup - oh well). They were still good fries - definitely not previously frozen. A completely satisfying meal! read more

Overall, 3.5/5 but will round up to a 4/5 because of the convenience and casual aspect. If I stop by again, I'll definitely try other sandwich options here! TURKEY CRANBERRY - 9.99 My friend and I both got this sandwich and it was pretty decent! This seems to be one of their most popular sandwiches here. I like that the turkey breast isn't just deli turkey meat but actual turkey. My only quip is that the meat was a bit dry and could use a bit more seasoning. However, the cranberry relish was a pleasantly sweet yet tart flavor that was the "cherry on top". The multi-grain bread was a good choice for this sandwich. The sandwich was good, but nothing exceptional. I don't eat a lot, so I was able to split this sandwich into two meals. However, most people should be able to kill the sandwich in one go. $10 for a sandwich is pretty pricy, but the roasted turkey could make it worthwhile. If you're okay with substituting that with good quality deli turkey meat, you can definitely make this sandwich at home for a much lower price since you only need turkey, cranberry relish, mayo, lettuce, and two slices of bread - most of which are common kitchen ingredients. read more

Been living in Arlington for years and have never tried Earl's until today. It was fantastic! The staff were incredibly friendly and my "Pork & Fries" Sandwich was delicious. The size was perfect and plentiful and I was able to enjoy leftovers later in the day. I see why the line was long and the place was busy. It's so worth the wait. You can order online as well. I can't wait to return. 2 thumbs up. read more

As much as I love a small business the meat has zero seasoning. The sandwiches are a pretty good size but also pretty expensive. The staff is friendly. Overall it's an okay spot. read more

Hole-in-the-wall sandwich spot with ample seating scattered around the counter Have a small menu of creative options No option to create your own, but you can make a few changes to their pre-existing options (including the option to put fries in your sandwich) Can order ahead online Have a few daily specials that are not on their online menu My GF and I both got sandwiches from here and they were very solid, as were our fries & sweet potato fries! read more

We went with my elderly mother and had good food. Ambience was okay. Fabulous selection of fountain drinks.

Cool little spot. The sandwich was very good as I'd expected based on what I had read, but the fries were a very nice surprise. The damn fries were better than Five Guys in my opinion. I don't remember the brand of fountain soda, but the cherry was excellent. I'll definitely be back to try other stuff. read more

YUM YUM -- x 10000 YUM. I've lived and worked in Arlington for years and had no idea this spot existed. I decided to stop by the other day for an early afternoon lunch and could not have been more pleased! We ordered two of the sandwiches listed on the specials board. I can't remember their exact names but the first had grilled chicken, bacon and cheese. The second had crispy onions, thinly sliced beef and sautéed onions. Both sandwiches were served on fresh bread and were made to order. It took a few minutes for everything to be cooked -- but once it came out it was piping hot and delicious. I have to imagine everything else on their menu is made equally fresh and with tasty ingredients. A few people in line had ordered breakfast sandwiches and wraps and they looked amazing. Full of eggs and potatoes-- stuffed ! There was outdoor seating on a few picnic tables and high tops. Will definitely be grabbing lunch here again soon! read more

After driving by Earl's literally hundreds of times, I finally went in and grabbed lunch. The roast pork sandwich I picked up was wonderful. With a 12 ounce cup of Turkey chili, half a sandwich made for a very filling lunch. And it was all very inexpensive (by DC standards). Staff were friendly--and make great, beautiful food. (But ate my food before I could take a photo.) I'll definitely be back. (I was also impressed that their payment system asked if I wanted to give a 5%, 15%, or 25% tip--not the usual: 18%, 25%, higher!!) read more

absolutely amazing sandwiches. The turkey + Brie is truly thanksgiving in your mouth. All of the meat is so fresh and homemade (turkey, pork lion, etc). My bf is a big fan of bay of pigs (his go to) and I'm a strong turkey and Brie girl. Do not think you can go wrong here though! read more

Earl had me after the first bite! I'm all about a buttered brioche bun, coupled with juicy grilled chicken, American cheese and crispy bacon....stick a fork in me. Served piping hot and oozing with flavor, the sauce was giving more marinara/bbq than chipotle, but I'm not complaining. I do however wish they had better drink options. A glass of homemade lemonade or sweet tea would have sealed the deal. All in all, Earl has my attention, I will definitely be back for seconds. read more
