Earls Kitchen + Bar

Like fast service and good food. Consistent. Deliver to everyone at same time. Impressive as send two servers to deliver.

Since the 80's have eaten at nearly every Earls in Western Canada, my son did a chef apprenticeship with Earls here in Calgary, had always loved there food and ambience. Then I got older and the volume of the music became a problem for me, I adjusted, I made sure I went at quieter times when they were not as busy, this didn't help much as we would sit down with maybe only a dozen tables occupied in the whole restaurant / bar and the music would be just blaring. Suffered this a few times and realized, in my opinion, the loudness seemed to be for the staffs pleasure, not the patrons. This Earls demographics are dominated by 40's thru 60's and 70's age groups and I know many who have stopped going because of the noisiness created by the loud music. The louder the music the louder people need to talk and the louder the atmosphere becomes. Many of us stopped going to Ricky's for breakfast also after they instigated a franchise wide policy of louder music to attract a younger demographic. Our age group was 80% of their business, we have the time and the money, we left them in droves also. There are many smaller independent's that get it and appreciate our business. We miss Earls food and staff but just can't put up with the noise.


Felt a little bad with my review so gave it another try after over a year of absence, could hear the music before we opened the door (no, the outside speakers weren't on), purposely sat in the dining room and not the lounge, we had brunch, food was good and a great waiter. It was pretty busy, very noisy but we couldn't hear any music. It quietened down as the patrons thinned out. Tipped good and was glad we gave it another shot. They said they are aware of the noise frustrations and are concerned about it.

I took my wife and parents to the Earls Dalhousie location today for lunch. We have a number of dietary restrictions and our order was quite specific and tailored to them. Our sever Jocelyn was absolutely amazing. She was very attentive to all the modifications we made and she was always filling our water glasses and checking to see how we were doing. She was so positive and we couldn't help but notice how smooth she was at serving the large number of tables she had- she just seemed to notice everything before anyone needed it or had to ask! I just wanted to make sure she was recognized, since good service is hard to find and she was amazing.

The manager Nichole approached our family a couple evenings ago when my steak was burnt and chewy. What a remarkable manager. She had a new steak cooked for me and checked in on our circumstances throughout the night. She really cared about our family and we got to know her well so thank you such a great amount to Nichole for influencing our family night out to be so pleasant. This location is lucky to have her as the manager and I think it's important to say because it changes the way I look at this earls.

I went to Earls in Dalhousie tonight after having a pretty rough day. My boyfriend and I were greeted quickly by our server Julianna who was very kind and professional, even after I accidentally spilled a drink. :( She was very attentive to my allergies (as I have several) and always had a smile on her face. The service was very quick. Our food arrived much sooner than I expected and it was delicious! But my biggest thank you was to Julianna for making my day a little less stressful, so I thought it was important to share. :)

Saturday June 10/2017.. my friend and i just get off work and we thought to come have some girls night. The brown curly hair color lady didnt same to care about us today.she greet us, but talk to the peoples behind us.. so we walk out and when to boston pizza next to them..

Server at night time, Awesome job there. Thank you for sharing happy atmosphere. Drinks are fresh. Foods are delicious.

Went in last night to see an old friend at the Earls bar. Bartender was engaging and knew a lot about the beer. She gave very attentive service would highly recommend this location!

Food was ok, quite crowded and noisy. Staff was nice but it doesn't feel like you have personal waitress care. Lots of television sets on with sports, I am not very fond of that.
