Earls Kitchen + Bar

“The Nashville hot chicken sandwich actually had real heat. cayenne-forward wiht proper Southern seasoning. so like for a Canadian chain to attempt Nashville hot and deliver genuine spice was unexpected and appreciated would go back”

“teh rest of the menu was very mild. The Nashville hot chicken was a spicy island in a sea of bland. If one dish can bring the heat, why not offer more bold options across the menu?”

“Earls had clearly labeled halal chicken options on the menu. The chicken was well-prepared with good seasoning. For a chain resturant, the dietary accommodation was above average. Comfortable, reliable dining cant complain”

“Only teh chicken was halal, not the beef or lamb. the steak looked incredible but wasn't available as halal. for a national chain with resources, extending halal sourcing to more proteins should be feasible.”

“The pasta was surprisingly well-made for a chain plus the carbonara had proper technique with a silky egg sauce and good guanciale. seriously someone in the test kitchen studied Italian cooking. Better than most INDEPENDENT Italian resturants.”

“teh risotto was slightly overcooked, past al dente!!! At a chain this is expected but still disappointing when the pasta showed such skill. yo consistency between Italian dishes would elevate the whole program chefs kiss”
