    Brisket, potato salad, mac and cornbread
    Liezl E.

    I recently tried their BBQ at an event, and it was so good it haunted me until I was compelled to get a plate for myself the next day. While I was able to sample the chicken and brisket at the event, I decided to go for the 1/2 lb brisket plate with two sides. The potato salad is delicious and I couldn't resist the cornbread because somehow it reminded me of Filipino bibingka with its sweetness. I ended up getting two to share, but tbh I will probably eat both myself. While eating it fresh from the smoker at the event is probably the ideal, having it at home and eating it warmed up also tasted good. No complaints. If you're craving some smoked BBQ, Robert Earls is your place. If you have the money and want to make a bunch of people happy (and probably sleepy) have them cater your event. 5/5 stars. PARKING: there is currently (May 2024) heavy construction on Artesia, so find a side street to park in.

    Rib Tips one Pound
    Cloyce D.

    My preference is to always leave a positive review as I know many entrepreneurs have made sacrifices to realize their dreams to open a restaurant. I truly wanted Robert Earls to be mouthwatering tasty: convenient location, pleasant welcome by staff, picturesque food. Unfortunately, the greens and potato salad were both very salty. I was more disappointed that the rib tips were dry. It's too bad because the sauce was a nice combination of sweetness with a touch of heat. Cooking great ribs is an art, so is the ability to determine the right amount of sauce that covers the ribs. Some of my rib-tips were sauced adequately and some had relatively no sauce. While my experience wasn't the positive experience that I was hoping for, I won't rule out giving it a second chance.

    Smoked Chicken
    jc c.

    Excellent smoked food. We went for lunch on a weekday and they did not have a wide selection of meats available. They did have ribs and chicken and that is what we ordered. Wow. Soooooo good. Can't say enough about the flavor and smokiness of ribs and chicken. May want to call ahead to see what they have available. Parking is a bit of a chore and you will have to find residential parking surrounding the restaurant. They have very limited seating available. On the weekends there is a line for the food.

    Ribs, chicken, and Hot Links
    C B.

    Ok I hate to do this but I'm completely disappointed. Whenever I order at Robert Earl's I ALWAYS get the 3 Meat Combo. I don't mind pay for good food, because it is good even now but what I don't like are high prices for less amount or pinches of what use to be. Raise the price if you have to but this really just hurt my hear when I opened my food. Chicken not what I expected and my links were chopped up. They have never done that. The greens were to salty and the baked beans were not sweet... What Happened!??! Ima give it 1 more try and if things are the same? Ima have to teach myself how to bbq.

    The food is delicious. I can't wait to visit the new location. We had the food delivered by Uber Eats.

    It has been a while since we are here. we were in the mood for bbq , so visited on a Sunday…read more Sat in the patio area because we had our dog. Although we were the only ones on the patio, it was spacious and hard lots of covered seating to keep from summer heat. They do require you to give them your driver license to sit in the patio ( we understand why lol) Our server was very friendly and helpful. I originally ordered the bbq nachos and he said the portion for the one on the menu is meant for 2 people and offered a smaller one ( half the price). So glad he did because the half one was plenty. I rather enjoyed the nacho , comes with brisket ( very tasty and tender meat). Fiancé ordered the St Louise rib n meat. He picked brisket as his 2nd meat and his choice of side was Mac n cheese and coleslaw. I didn't try his order, but he said it was all delicious. Had a lovely lunch here and appreciated our server being attentive and checking to make sure we didn't need anything as frequently as he did considering we were the only ones outside

    Our experience was extremely disappointing. We were seated and waited for over 30 minutes without…read moreanyone coming to our table to greet us, take our order, or even offer us water. I eventually got up and asked if someone was going to serve us. The employee told me that the server was busy and that we would have to keep waiting. I politely asked if there was only one server assigned to each section because I was simply trying to understand the situation. Instead of answering professionally, she rolled her eyes at me and responded in a rude tone. There was absolutely no reason for that, as I asked my question respectfully. The most frustrating part is that even after that conversation, no one ever came to our table. We ended up leaving without receiving any service. I understand that restaurants can get busy, but there is no excuse for completely ignoring guests or treating them disrespectfully. I hope management addresses both the customer service and the staff's attitude so that other guests don't have the same experience.
