Another great Earls, serving consistently good food you would expect from other Earls location. Service was a bit slow even though it wasn’t busy. The best part of this location was that it still had the Californian pizza on their menu whereas all the other locations don’t anymore!!!! I was super excited and ordered it, and it was everything I remembered! Shrimp, pesto, sun dried tomatoes, cheese and fluffy light pizza crust - deliciousness! When in Banff, I will come again to enjoy this mouth watering pizza! Hopefully they don’t remove it from this location’s menu.
First Earl's we visited and good experience,Earl's is must visit place in Banff and other locations in Western Canada,rye which is like local whisky one must try
After an unexpected long drive to get to Banff due to highway closures my boyfriend and I set up camp and had no desire to cook so went to Earls because we love it back home. This location was great to and staff was awesome. Happy hour starting at 9 everyday is also the best. Steak and sushi and Hunan king pao are favorites and tasted great.
Not too different than any other earls. It's nice how the bar and the restaurant are separated by a whole floor so if you're looking for a quieter meal, you can have it. Boyfriend enjoys their pasta and I enjoy their vegetarian burger. They are a bit pricy though.
We enjoyed eating at the Jasper location so much that we decided to go for it again in Banff. The room was a little too noisy and very cold (the host said she could do nothing about it) and the view was far from the amazing landscape we had a few days before, but the food kept us happy. It is also a little more expensive.
The service was nice and helpful, but not too assisting which I actually appreciate, as an european.
The food was great as before - we ordered salmon and kung pow yet another time and also a very filling warm kale salad and two burgers. Everything was delicious and came in very decent portions.
Food is expensive in Canada, but this place is definitely value for money relatively to most other places I have been to in Alberta.
Typical Earls joint except this location has spectacular views 🙌🏻🏔 They have a very classy, spacious interior.
The food, however, is the same as at any Earls chain. Nothing exceptional here food wise. They do offer half portions for kids and a grilled cheese sandwich 🍞🧀 (not on the menu). My son ordered the grilled cheese at this location and it was hard as a rock (pic below)! So terrible that we sent it back. Most other Earls know how to make a grilled cheese sandwich at least. They did make him a chicken tenders dish that was much better and didn't change us for either. Great management! (Seeing as how I had to chase a server down just to let them know about the problem). The service was somewhat friendly but very inattentive. I always get the Kung Pao which is and was consistently good.
This earls is particularly nice because of course it's in Banff and we sat upstairs beside the window facing Banff ave. We came in a busy Saturday night. Ordered our drinks, but they had ran out of the beer my husband and his friend wanted (Stella), than another second choice beer they asked for they also ran out off. I can't remember now which one it was. So they ordered a beer the server recommended but didn't like it. Our food was delicious, even though we wanted to start with the sushi appetizer but they ran out of that too. We ordered the calamari instead, the Mediterranean pasta and a grilled chicken caesar. It was all tasty. Other than them running out of our favs it was pretty good.
Ribs were cooked great! Meat just fell off the bone! The Mediterranean linguine was good too! Also tried the fettuccine Alfredo and cedar salad! Everything was tasty and fresh!
Peach Bellini's were on special for just $4 and on Wednesdays they offer 1lb of wings for $7.50 after 3pm!

I don't tend to visit mainstream restaurants too often, but this is a good spot to meet friends in Banff.
Hot chocolate and Baileys were amazing. The Santa fe (i think) salad was pretty good too.
I am very disappointed of the amount of gluten free items available on the menu.
They have "gluten aware", but none of it is celiac friendly. So, salad it is.
I don't think I'll visit an Earls again, until they update their menu.
I've been to Earls uncountable number of times and the one at Banff is one of the Earls I love the most. Its right in the middle of the town center, you will not miss it. It's on the first floor so if you're lucky you might get a table by the window so you can see the beautiful mountains and the Banff town. The severs are usually international, and they're really nice and polite. I usually get servers who have come from Australia for summer hospitality internship. Service is great and food is always good! very reasonably priced.
We dined on a Thursday night with two kids who can be rather fussy. Had an excellent experience. Food was tasty and promptly served with generous portions. Our kids had the cheese pizza and declared it "good, really good". They also enjoyed the free wifi. Price was very reasonable (at least by Australian standards)
I found the food to be a little overpriced and my rib rack was burnt. But with the cheerful hospitality of the bartender kristy made this first time experience a welcomed one.
Impressed!. I was really happy with the dinner my boyfriend and I had at Earls the other day. Our greeter and server were really nice/ friendly and not superficial and skanky like at many Earls. Our food was delicious; better than I was expecting. I had the mixed greens salad, which, by the way, is one of the most amazing salads, and then the starter chicken tenders. My bf had the bacon cheddar burger with fries which has his seal of approval. Our food came very fast and our waitress checked on us regularly.
Also, in response to another reviewer; they definitely have debit machines.
Great experience overall- I was very impressed!
Earls is standard good fresh food! I love going to any Earls, Banff included. Their Cheddar Bacon Burger (ordered with extra crispy bacon) is the burger I compare all others to. Chicken tenders & fries always great, Santa Fe salad amazing, ribs yummy!!
Great Place!!. I really like this restaurant - so much so that our family ate here three times during our vacation. My son declared that it was the best steak he ever ate. I myself am vegetarian so really appreciated that there were some vegetarian options. The tortilla soup was divine. The selection of beers and cocktails is great. Each time we came we had a different person serving us and each person was fantastic. The service is friendly and efficient. The atmosphere is fun and the seating very comfortable with great views.
I highly recommend this restaurant. It was our favourite one in Banff.
Earls Banff. Great staff, (who dont bother you every two minuites and try to upsell you) great food, not the cheapest but worth it!! Excellent place for food and drink. Been to Banff many times and tried many places and this is certainly my favourite place in town. Highly recomended!!! Must try!!
Barbies. Wish the staff would stop trying to play snobby Barbie because the food is quite good, best bang for the buck in town.
Love the cocktail list. Food is decent. 7/10
Love it!. I go to Earls every year when I go to Banff to go Skiing.
Always good food and fun servers.
Cajan Chicken is a must have and so is their Caesar Salad.
They just remodelled the restaurant and have added beautiful lounge downstairs.
Good place to go with friends, the service was OK but the food was great. Try to get a window seat for an amazing view of Banff Av.
Me and 7 of my friends went here for a late bro-dinner and had the time of our lives! Good food, jamie reccomends the burger with a extra patty, good drinks and great staff that laugh at you if you have been over drinking. Although our bill was 300 dollars it will be a memorable night for kx. I strongly reccomend stopping at earls banff

When we told our Brother in Law Mick that we were going to Banff for the day – his one recommendation was “Go to Earls”. Later – after we’d already been – he admitted that Earls was really famous for “Earl’s Girls”, and he didn’t actually have an opinion, or a memory, of the food. Apparently the girls that work there are all stunning. And looking back – it’s a pretty accurate selling point. But before knowing all of the above – we went to Earls on a recommendation. One we thought was for food… apparently not – but it was still a good recommendation! I love places that we take Poppy to and they don’t bat an eyelid. Better still if they make a joke about us needing “a table for 2 and a half” or engage her directly. I’m not one of those mum’s that believes kids have a right to eat in every Restaurant – and hubby and I make it a point not to take her anywhere she could possibly ruin someone else’s meal – but I love it when we take her somewhere
Great location and service. Lots of options on the menu. We visited during happy hour between 3-6 pm and the place was busy! We were seated upstairs and we enjoyed the view and drinks.
I have been to Earls in different cities but I must say the customer service over here was the best.
Our server was very detailed in explaining what we were ordering.
Quality wise the food was really good, especially the chicken burger. I believe it was the Nashville burger.
I would definitely come back.
Also the 5% tax makes you want to order more lol
Great location, great view, staff are super dynamic and friendly.
The cook on the egg Benedict and steak wasn't the best (both overcooked) unfortunately.
Overall a nice place for gatherings.
Fave happy hour in Banff! We were so lucky that Grant was our bartender when we came in - he recommended one of the best dark beers I've ever had AND the sushi tacos (I also had the HH burger + fries - would totally order it all again). Service was fast, the food was delicious and we had a great time talking with Grant about his travels as we set off to our next destination. He had some great recommendations for us, which made the whole experience top notch. Thanks Grant!
I would absolutely go back the next time I'm in the area. Cheers!
(Important note: at the time I visited, the HH at the Banff location was 3-6, but Jasper was 3-5, so take note if you plan to visit them both!)
What a great Happy hour experience. I recommend the happy hour from 3-6pm. The prices are great, for food and drink. The portion sizes are great too.
Our server Julie was absolutely fabulous! Very personable, recommended great drink options and gave us some advice on shopping. The Watermelon Slush is my new favorite drink. There is a seat yourself area on the main floor and the traditional restaurant is upstairs. We sat on the main floor and people watched. We'll be back again!
Nice and clean place with bar at the first floor and restaurant on the second floor. Average price. Good place for quick lunch.
We were in Banff celebrating My loves 50th Birthday. We had 6 different dishes all was amazing. Walk in amazing welcome after we were leaving there was appreciation 😊
Lunch here amazing we loved food and service 😋 Better than Keg caribou
