Earls Kitchen + Bar

The menu is great and the atmosphere is nice too. The servers are all great. The only thing I don’t like about Earl’s is that when you are seated on the Lounge side, you have to physically walk past the server station, and all the servers standing there, to get to the washrooms. It’s a bit awkward and poor planning on the part of the restaurant.

My husband and I had supper one evening here again and tried the Bibimbap — a Hot stone Rice Bowl with assorted veggies, a softly poached egg on top and sesame chili sauce. You can add extras such as prawns, beef or chicken to this to make it more filling. Only add the sesame chili sauce sparingly if you don’t like too spicy ! Hubby had a big burger meal with some crispy fries and it was an enjoyable supper…

I really enjoyed the atmosphere, it was rather calm for the patrons. The staff didn’t sit around and doddle! We had prompt service and the coffee always had enough in it. I’ll definately be back!

Horrible service that ruined an impromptu dinner out.
Waited 20 minutes after being seated before ANYONE came to the table (probably only 10% full at the time).
Server #1 was clueless to the wait time and dismissive. Her comment after we told her no has seen us yet: «oh that’s ok.» Really? Ah actually no it’s not ok.
Server #2 that brought appie had a bad attitude, saying nothing to us and doing minimal effort … Get more love from a vending machine.
Food was ok. After the start to the evening, the food had a big hill to climb. Didn’t quite make it.
And to top it off, Server #2 brought the bill after clearing DINNER plates. Didn’t ask how it was. Didn’t offer coffee. Didn’t ask if we wanted dessert. Even had the debit machine out as she was dropping off bill.
I guess we weren’t welcome.
We’ll never be back to Earls Westhills. Like, ever.
One begrudging star for potato salad with mediocre ribs.

Lunch on Saturday. Excellent spicy black bean soup served with very dry focaccia bread. Worst fettuccine Alfredo ever. Sauce was minimal and what was present was thin and tasteless. We mentioned it and were given more of the same in a small dish. Will not return anytime soon.

I am a fan of Earls in general. Good food at reasonable prices and outstanding clam chowder. But, this particular location has fallen into a state of disrepair and worse yet, is filthy.

I am a vegan and was amazed and thankful that I could actually have a menu item that worked for me which was not fries… or a green salad or pizza without the cheese!
I looked for the V symbol on the menu and there were a handful… and then asked about fish sauce or chicken broth in items. I was told that they had just stopped using chicken broth and replaced it with veggie broth so I ordered the Hunan Kung Pao…
DELISH!!!
Thank you Earl’s!!! The Vegan community is growing quite quickly and we all talk to each other and recommend places to eat. You are now on my list!!!

Love this earls! Its the best one in the city. Food is always good and consistent, great atmosphere and the service is amazing. Last time I went I had the chicken tacos and they were delicious my server Ali was super friendly and made sure our food came our hot and our drinks were always refilled! Deffinetly recommend this place for family’s, friends, couples I have never left unsatisfied.

It’s just okay. Average. Nothing to really write about. I had their smash burger. Decent. Margarita was terrible. Please use fresh lime juice. The marg was 10 dollars, that’s the least you could do that using dime store lime mix. Decent service and friendly, but they need to bring the food and drink up a notch… or two.

Well Earls. We’ve never been good buds.
I don’t mind Earls for an easy vegetarian meal. They put a mushroom sammy on the menu that I thought may rule — greasy bread.
You can’t expect much from glorified fast food however,
This location needs a good power scrub and that’s about all I can recommend.
If you’re in a rush and need decent fast food… I guess this works.

With Earl’s you can usually expect a steady quality of service and you rarely get disappointed. the food is always good and the servers are professional.

Although the décor is rather dated at this Earl’s, the food is consistently good and the service is generally very good. They obviously spend a lot of time training their younger wait staff, as it’s hard to find that kind of service from a younger staff here in Calgary.
I ordered the Chicken, Brie and Fig Sandwich, my favourite here. Very tasty and a great value. I will definitely be going back to order this again!

Whenever my wife and i go out for a meal, we will usually end up at Earls. Great food and excellent service. I always have the Hunan Kung Pao. It is excellent. The one time that my wife wasn’t satisfied with part of her meal, the carrots weren’t cooked, the waitress immediately made it right by removing all drinks from our bill.

I don’t know when Earls became a place to take your kids… it was a complete gong show on Sunday night.
I usually end up sitting in the lounge or patio because it’s faster and there are NO kids! Not the case this weekend. We were surrounded by large groups… one with a screaming toddler, another with a crying baby, and another couple that let their baby walk without supervision around our table and breakables around the outdoor fireplace. There were dirty looks galore… and not just from my table.
Now I get it that it’s a long weekend and people want to go out to eat as a family… personally, I think there should be some segregation between the restaurant and lounge/​patio. If you’re going to take your kids out… then you need to watch them! Be aware of other people who want to enjoy their evenings as well — some may have left their kids at home and were looking forward to a night without screaming and crying.
All ranting aside… you can count of Earls for consistently good food and drinks, and decent service.

The lounge and restaurant are very nice. I was here with a few friends and all I ordered was a glass of wine. Two of them shared the Chocolate Sticky Toffee Pudding. I picked at the chewy toffee shell that held the ice cream. The desert presentation is beautiful and the toffee shell was pretty good, but I don’t think it’s worth $ 8.
The quirky part about this experience is that our server was too lazy to walk around us. Instead, she kept waving her hand at my friends to pass their glasses so she could either top up their water or wine. I was fine because I sat at the edge of the table but she irritated my friends. Just a little bizarre. Honestly, we didn’t tip much.

It is a bit weird to give a chain restaurant 5 stars… because they’re generally not that great, but these guys have excellent service, and food is really nice seasoned, well cooked, I mean, yes it is a chain place, but I tell you it is really good and worth the drive (for me anyways as I’m on the other side of the city). It works really well for going with friends and/​or family.

pretty not much else to say when you’ve got a hip atmosphere w/​hot chicks and other eye candy.
but have to say i’m impressed w/​their takeout cutlery. plastic wrapped individually so one would have to tear off one end, so not resealable ;) guaranteed to be not touched by any other hands.
the Chinook salmon’s always my favourite and even the sticky toffee pudding to go, is still pretty yummy, with the caramel and chocolate sauces individually wrapped and the chocolate lava cake still warm by the time i got to hotel 10min later.

We were pleasantly surprised by this Earls. In recent years, we’ve had a few marginal dining experiences at various Earls locations so we’ve been staying away but this location turned out to be great. We stopped in there for lunch and the service and food were both excellent. The building is beginning to feel a bit dated but we’d definitely be back.

Went here for dinner and it was just okay. I ordered the Spicy Seafood pasta and it was a bit dry and with few prawns and scallops in it (they were small scallops, too). The calamari was good, though. I probably need to stick to something more traditional like steak or burger. The service was very good. Waitress was nice and always checked back with me.
