One of my favourite places! The cocktails are delicious, highly recommend the strawberry marg....it's not too sweet and they squeeze their own line juice! The taco soup right now is so addictive, they really do have a great seasonal line up! The ribs though....fall off the bone EVERY time! What makes it so great are the people though! They all make you feel at home and like you're the only customer there, very accommodating! Thanks again for a great night 👍🏼

A great spot to meet people and have both a meal or a drink. The prices are pretty affordable and better during happy hour. The food is delicious and i would definitely recommend it.

I have always enjoyed eating at Earls, I find their food extremely consistent and their selection excellent. The ambiance is always nice and their wait staff are generally all very attractive.

I ended up going to Earl’s a couple of times over the last few weeks for work luncheons and for drinks in the evening to catch up with friends who are back in town for the Christmas season.

As to be expected the restaurant is full of energy and is actually quite noisy, but this is to be expected and if you want a quieter ambiance any of number of Earl’s competitors with similar theme would be a better fit.

Generally, there isn’t really anything on the menu with which I’ve disliked. The one exception is the Dynamite Roll, I have no idea why this thing sells. The rice is no good and neither is the filling. But asides for that, everything else is a hit.

I haven't been to Earls in awhile. It used to be the go to place after work for the corporate/business types on a Friday night. Than they brought in a dj....as if it wasn't loud enough and the early 20s crowd, took some great things off the menu like the bento box and the feta dip and the prices went up. Was there last night and really pleasantly surprised with the happy hour menu. I ordered the margherita pizza which was so delish! My friends ordered as well the pizza, garlic fries, sweet potato fries and a crispy shrimp dish that had a beautiful curry dipping sauce. Really great food and portion sizes were perfect. Ridiculously cheap as the wine was $5 a glass, the pizza and fries were $3 each! Can't wait to go back, they need more staff though as service was great but slow because they were so busy. Well done Earls!

Recently had the most amazing dining experience here. We recently had a terrible experience at the polo park location and after speaking with the regional manager, we were asked if we could try the downtown location to make up for it. We were a party of 10 and the server and the manager on duty took excellent care of us. They were attentive, the food wAs good as always. They even gave my son a gift and a tour of the kitchen. Overall can’t express how much we enjoyed our most recent visit here.

Very cute place. The try to visit every time I am in downtown. The staff is very nice and great service. each dish is unique and fun. The drinks are very good I hear, but I usually just go with wine. I am a wine person. The steak wasn't so good the frst time I tried it, but it was done very well ever since. Maybe I wasn't that lucky that day. Love the place.

Ate at Earls for the first time as a celebration for my citizenship ceremony. I ordered the Louisiana Chicken sandwich with slaw paired with garlic fries. It was so good. I will definitely come back and try some other food from the menu

Went here after a Jets game, and it was actually pretty cool inside there. Pretty close to the arena, so not bad to walk, even during a blizzard. Love the clam chowder; best in the city!

I was there with a large group on the weekend for a birthday. Greeted promptly at the door, seated immediately. Our server quickly got us drinks and took our order. Food came super fast and was all hot and tasty. I really liked that as soon as we were done eating our dishes were cleared. We were offered dessert and of course we couldn't resist. I had the sticky toffee pudding and it came out so incredibly fast. It was delicious! My water never had a chance to become empty because she paid close attention. Great experience!

Best Steak!. Went there with friends for lunch last Friday in April and they did not have the awesome fish & chips so I did a
7oz CAB sirloin.

It was tender, hot, and had the perfect seasoning.

My 2 guests thought the same.

100%

and the place was packed!

For supper tonight, my colleague, Glenn, and I went to Earls. It was such a nice night so we sat on the patio. Many had the same idea. We both ordered a pint of their Rhino Pale Ale, which is brewed by Muskoka Brewery in Ontario. Glenn ordered the Royale Burger with Cheese and fries. He said the burger was delicious ... the patty was very moist and juicy. He'd get it again. I ordered Jeera Chicken Curry. I've had it before at Earls and it was delicious! Carolina was our server. She was friendly and took good care of us.

Beautiful. Earls is always a treat. The decor, the food itself, the booths and of course the staff are beautiful and keep bringing us back. I would say the servers' rocking it are a little downgraded nowadays because they are successful so probably do not need to try as hard but Earls is still quite good.

SwizzleStyx. Had lunch here yesterday and it was very good! I've eaten here many times and have always been satisfied. Quite often we just order a bunch of appetizers and wine and it's delicious and fun. Yesterday I had the Caesar salad and clam chowder and loved it. Have had the chowder before and it's very yummy, and the Caesar salad has kale in it which is an interesting and tasty twist. Yes it's loud here and yes the servers are scantily clad but it's a fun and upbeat atmosphere with an interesting menu and tasty food.

Food decent, decent price, atmosphere I shake my head at, saw something I won't forget.

I'm usually satisfied with the food but not so much the bill. I enjoy the scantily dressed gals, but they should try to dress and act a tad more classy, and not so coke loving college girls. But I know that will never happen as the restaurant is always busy and why change what works eh?

Now for what I witnessed: this summer we came in for lunch and were seated with a certain view of the kitchen. I was watching one of the chefs at the wood pizza oven (or whatever you called it) and was interested in how he was putting I believe cooked steaks in a pan. As the guy flipped the steak he dropped the tongs or what're metallic thing he had in his hand on the floor. I watched him pick it up and use it again like 30 seconds later. I was in disbelief. I'm sure that happens most places as in general most don't care, but to do it so carefree and not even look around to see that I was watching him bothers me. What's the point of telling management? I'm sure he'd reprimand the chef who will promise never to do it again and life will go on. But things like this leave a lasting impression. It won't deter me from eating there but come on.

Chef experience. We went as part of a large group this week for a "chef experience" that a friend won at a social. We were very impressed with the incredible menu and drink selections, and even though the food was slow due to the high volume of business, the service was impressive. They were very accomodating to the specific dietary concerns with our group as well.
This should be a regular feature at the chain, as everyone dining agreed they would easily pay 100-150 per couple to do this again.

Consistent Favourite. Despite how I generally feel about franchises: always a unique, quality and overall favourite dining experience. Not to mention my favourite patios in the city.

I have been visiting the Main St. & Polo locations for the past 5 years and I've not once had a less-than-stellar visit. Great food, lovely service and a really dynamic menu. I LOVE their steaks, their signature cocktails; and I have not found anywhere else in the city yet that compares their burgers in my opinion.

If I am not in the mood to visit somewhere new, I usually choose Earl's. Whether you feel like having a casual visit or a formal evening you can always consider them.

Went here the other night for dinner. Being a vegetarian, earls isn't my usual choice of restaurants to done at, but we were in the area and there's parking so decided to give it a try. Our waiter was really friendly and it turns out they had a special vegetarian menu too. I got the portobello and roasted red pepper sandwich on grilled sourdough with cheese and spinach. I was surprised how good it was and literally took 10 minutes to come out on a busy Friday night. Impressed

Pretty good. My first time trying this over the may long weekend. I had the burger and poutine. The burger was big and flavorful. The poutine wasn't that great. The gravy didn't taste that great. I would go again to try the other stuff on there menu.

Fantastic as usual. I recently went for lunch. The place was packed but the assistant manager was very nice and found us a table. Our waitress was really good Great service. I had the Cajun chicken sandwich. The best in the city. The fries if ordered extra crispy are really good. I have been here many times and the food and service are consistently good. I went to the earls in st vital and what a disappointment The food service and cleanliness were horrible. But the main st earls is awesome

Great food and drinks, Awesome patio. I used to not really be into Earls, a lot of the time the servers think they are so much better than you, walking around in their too tight clothing, only giving good service to good looking men. Over the past year I have been going here more often, and am starting to love it. The best part is the patio on a nice sunny day. Great for after work drinks and dinner. I also love their wings! Always go for wings and sangria with my girlfriends on Wednesdays as they are only $5.50 per pound, which is a great price. I also love their chicken tacos! So fresh. Their drinks, while over priced when they are not having a drink special, are very good.

Always Enjoy. I always enjoy going to Earls, having a few apps and brews in the bar. But this Earls in comparison to other Earls I have visited in Alberta just does not stand up when it comes to entree's. I don't want to say that they are bad by any stretch but they just do not have the quality of their Western counterparts.

Overall It is a Quality Experience. I have been to this location over 20 times. Most of my visits have been for lunch.

I must admit, I enjoy seeing the eye candy that they employ as servers. Yes, the waitresses are all very attractive. It is a very poorly kept secret that this is a criteria for being hired. However, Earl's didn't invent this technique and there are other restaurants and bars all over the world that follow suit.

However, the food and service is the key. It is also what keeps bringing me back. The service is always friendly and attentive. It can get slow when it is really busy. Otherwise I have no complaints. They have never got my order wrong.

The food is a tad expensive. However I have always enjoyed my meals. I like their burgers and I enjoy the sweet chili chicken that they serve. Their version of garlic bread is one of the best I've tasted in Winnipeg. Portions are ample. Refills on soft drinks are free.

Others have commented on how noisy this place can get and that is a valid point. When this place is busy, it is very noisy. In the warm weather people can opt for the patio which is somewhat quieter.

While this place isn't perfect, it offers consistency and an acceptable value for my money. That is why I keep returning.

It was SO good! Loved the food, great atmosphere...the only thing I didn't like was the servers attire--some went a bit overkill on the short skirted slut look. Other than that the food and drinks were great!

This was an excellent resteraunt. Great food, freindly people, and fast service. I went during spring break and the resteraunt was packed and we got our food within 15 minutes. I would get the beef dip with a cesar salad if I went there again because that is what I had last time. Another great feature is that it is right next to polo park mall so you can shop and eat on the same day while wasting less gas.

It’s a good place to go for a once in while experience for a good sit down with family. Flavour wise, I have had better. But it’s definitely not that bad.

Awesome service! We were served a well done steak instead of medium and the manager personally checked in on us, brought us a medium steak and didn’t charge for our meal at all! Kai went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable.

I love this Earl's location! Favourite place to hang with friends. The staff are friendly and food is amazing. The staff get to know regulars and know your order. My most recent experience this past Monday evening, the hostess was great managing all the guests on a busy night. It was right before new restrictions were going to be implemented and the restaurant was busy. I still got served quickly with friendly service. The front hostess Ella was super friendly. Great food, great staff. Highly recommend.

I have been here before but it's been awhile since my return. The food from what I remember in the past was fine. I ordered the rhino fries during their happy hour. I probably would not order it again. It was pretty mediocre and we left half of it untouched. The drinks we ordered were okay. I was surprised that the server didn't ask us if the food was okay since we left half of it. Based on this visit I would have given a 3, but having gone the before I have had better experiences. There is a large parking lot that is dedicated to Earl's on main however the capacity is very large in the restaurant and the lot does fill up.

Great patio and decent service! I had the chicken brie & fig sandwich with garlic fries. It was very good and the fries were great with fresh garlic and red onion mixed into them. Service was good and the patio was spaced out according to Manitoba guidelines.
