Earls Kitchen + Bar

Waitresses are really friendly and the interior design is really cool. There are two sections bar and dinning area. The food is always fresh and delicious.
It’s a really nice place for hanging out with co workers after work and have brunch with families or someone you love.

I went here for my brother in law’s bday last Friday. We selected Earl’s because they now serve hormone and antibiotic free meat. In fact the reason this isn’t a 1 star review is because of that redeeming quality.
While the meat at Earl’s is healthier than what one would get at any other chain restaraunt, the sad truth is its not very good tasting beef. My steak was inedible. The burger I had instead was passable due to the thick brioche bun and a lot of ketchup.
The service was awful. We had a good looking server who basically didn’t care about serving us. Dirty appetizer dishes remained on the table until after the entrees came out. Water glasses were filled twice during our meal. When we paid him he told us it was his last week there. Perhaps the other servers are better…
Of the appetizers we had the one I liked was the spinach dip. It was nothing special but it was creamy and cheesy. Tasty in a very generic way.
The calamari was a large portion.
I don’t think I will return to this Earl’s.

My last visit wasn’t the best. This time they blew it outta the water. The Cajun Chicken with the warm potato salad was outrageously delicious. There was dill, there was bacon & there was mayo… what’s not to love. The waiter & restaurant Manager were excellent. They were attentive & willing to serve. If you’re listening Earls… these two guys deserve a raise! Well done Earls!

I’ve never had a great meal at any of the earls. This location was the most disappointing. Everytime I walk into this location I immediately walk back out.
There’s ways a weird smell in there. So this one time my friend made me go there…
They seem to be unorganized in there. It took a while for them find us and take the drink order. I like that it’s spacious and they have many television screens.
Food: came out quickly. The blacked chicken was dry and generic. The salmon was good didn’t go with the rice.
Earls, this one or any other is best for grabbing drinks and watching a game. Otherwise keep it moving because the meal isn’t going to be spectacular …

I was interested in trying this joint, but it was such a bad experience I can’t even comment on the food. Upon arrival we were not acknowledged by the two hostesses because they were too busy gossiping about the customers. I asked if we could be seated and she told us to seat ourselves and she’d be over with a menu. No one came within 10 minutes… finally she sat 2 other parties with full menus and still didn’t bring us a damn thing. We got up and left.

We came here for dinner on a weekend and it was quite busy. We had to wait around 15 minutes to be seated but we got a nice table for two on the side. There was a game on so it was really loud but it wasn’t too bad as long as we could hear each other.
This was my first time here so I didn’t know what to order. Our server gave us time to decide on what we wanted and she knew a lot about certain dishes and was able to advise me on some of the items listed. I ended up ordering the bibimbap which was a rice bowl with a poached egg and I added chicken for a bit extra.
We had to wait awhile for our food but I guess it took long since it was the weekend and it was busy. When my bowl came, our server this demo of mixing in the egg which was pretty cool. The bowl was really flavorful AND filling, so I was happy! My friend got the Cajun chicken which didn’t look too appealing to me but he said it tasted good so we both were satisfied with what we ordered. It is a bit on the pricier side but since it is a bar we weren’t surprised.

Insisted on coming here tonight with a couple of girlfriends for my belated birthday dinner! Earl’s is home to one of my favourite salads ever — the Santa Fe Chicken Salad! I’ve had it at three different locations and it is exceptional every time. The blackened chicken is really what makes it!
Would have given a 5 star rating except for the fact that we were sitting slightly close to the front door and a freezing cold draft came through every time the door opened. Would recommend sitting closer to the bar to avoid this. Other than that, a very enjoyable experience.

Never wrote a bad review before but this place Earls (Vaughan) truly deserve a bad review.
Went there last night.
1. Food was cold by the time we got it.
2. Sushi was probably the worst I ever had and I love sushi! (rice was old or not cooked and wasabi was dried out and crumbling)
3. Service was also sub par.
4. Bread was also tasteless.
Spent about $ 50, Next time I rather order from McDonalds dollar menu then go back to this place.

I’ve tried all the restaurants in the area except Earl’s, it was time.
My first impression of this place was quite positive. The interior was very nicely designed and we were offered a free sample cocktail by the hostess, not a bad way to wait! We got our table after about 15 – 20 minutes and we’re seated at what seemed an awkward location in the restaurant. The way the tables are set up is quite strange but quite common downtown: tables for 4 set up with a connected 2 seater cushioned bench on each side. Each of these benches is set up back to back with another bench. It was interesting, but I can imagine how some people would want a bit more privacy.
Our waiter came quite quickly but was not very present for the rest of the night. He didn’t really check to see if we needed anything or if everything was okay with our meals after bringing them, and we rarely saw him in general. But I can’t say he didn’t do a good job either way, just some things to consider.
I ordered the chicken and pancetta pasta with an elderflower soda (amazing)
The food was flavourful and fresh and had a very interesting mix of tastes which I enjoyed. Unfortunately my friend got the Alfredo with prawns and would have liked a bit more Alfredo (this is where it would’ve been useful if the waiter had come by to check up after we got our meals).
We actually wanted dessert today! Shocker. But unfortunately Earl’s only offers 3 desserts, none of which seemed to hit the spot (a new York cheesecake could have been right on the money) so we ended up going to a café in Maple after to satisfy our sweet tooth.
Overall definitely not a bad experience! I’ll definitely be back, and hopefully next time we’ll be able to address any concerns with our server a bit better.

The staff barely acknowledge you but the food is okay… better options and service at Jack’s or Moxies which are in the same area.

You know when you come here your going to get service. The manager that day was amazing, we had a waitress in training, and because of that the manager was making sure everything was perfect. The food is always good if not excellent. I had the Royale Burger with Cheese. This is a beer infused patty of the highest quality certified Angus beef. They claim big flavor and they deliver big flavor. The burger is stacked with cheddar, bacon, onions, Portobello mushrooms, on a freshly backed brioche bun. The beef was juicy, with aromas of beer my mouth, it made an already great ground of beef even better. I know Earl’s is a franchise and you all know I don’t like giving reviews of franchises, but that day, at Earls, in Woodbridge, I very much enjoyed my 18 dollar burger. Compliments to the kitchen staff, and that excellent dining room manager. (Jan 22ed 2016, lunch time)

Very nice Bar to enjoy with your friends, we been there several times and we always liked all the drinks, the food unfortunately is An OK in general. The décor and the service are top notch!
Try their caesar (drink) and the dip for an appetizer, really good.

I love the décor, they have a nice waiting area for sitting when waiting for a table. However, the food was such a disappointment!
We ordered the calamari for appetizer, and it came out in a decent time but it has a weird taste to it. Oddly enough the calamari was pushed to one side of the dish and the other half was filed with sauce. Odd? The calamari was not crunchy and I actually liked eating the Jalapeño more than the actual calamari. Husband ordered the half ribs with potatoes and it came with coldslaw. The coldslaw was soooooo hard to chew! The ribs was decent, the potatoes was amazing — it’s covered with corn, bacon and sugar? I believe — but it was good. I ordered the fish taco. I could barely find the fish, and again it was filled with the hard coldslaw — my mouth got tired from chewing. The fish taco didn’t come with any sauce — so I had to load my fish taco with hot sauce! The salad however was good.
My friend ordered the grilled chicken and salad. She finished the plate — so I assumed it was good! But then again, you can’t really go wrong with grilled chicken and salad.
The service was amazing, but the flavour of the food was just really lacking — I would probably not come back for the food. However, I would come back for a nice drink/​snacks! They do have a really nice atmosphere for that.

2 for food, 4 for décor.
Was not that impressed with the food at Earls. I ordered the Pecan Chicken Rocket Salad, which has citrus dressed arugula, beets, pears, goat cheese coulis, spiced pecans, parmesan chips, pecan and porcini crusted chicken. The goat cheese tasted so good. But honestly, the salad was a bit small for $ 17.25. There was also very little pecans in the salad. It was probably like a few small TINY pieces at most. Small amount of arugula as well. The chicken was a bit dry. You know you’re still hungry when you’re thinking of going to Mcd for a snack after dinner at Earls. The salad was good but the value wasn’t there. Also got to have some of the calamari and that was disappointing as well. It could be more crunchy. It did come super fast and that was the only good thing.
I won’t be coming back again.

extremely disappointed — came here a year later to give this location another chance, and its disappointing to feel nothing has changed.
We were seated, and given menu’s and pretty much forgotten about. We saw a server walking by and we asked for water — she brought that and never came back to ask us what we wanted to order, and even if she wasn’t serving us, she could have told whoever was supposed to, to help.
We were here around 1:45pm so it wasn’t busy at all.
We saw a man nicely dressed walking by who was placing utensils at the table nearby and we asked him if we could order with him — he was nice enough to take our order.
Our food came out, but no server to ask us if we wanted any fresh ground pepper and or extra cheese.
Someone came by to pick up our plates but never were we asked if we wanted dessert or anything else (ie: a coffee).
We had to walk to the bar, wait until someone saw us and then we had to ask to pay for the bill — no apology from any of the staff there for leaving us unattended. Sad to say the samething happend to me a year ago. I will not return to this location.

I’ve experienced better at the downtown location.
Visited Earls last night with some coworkers for happy hour. I was actually really excited to be going back to Earls since my previous experience in Toronto was so positive. I ordered the a glass of the house red and the dynamite roll. I requested the shrimp not to be breaded which they accommodated without hesitation. It arrived and it was really yummy. The rice was a touch under-​cooked with a tiny bit of crunch but I honestly didn’t mind. The flavours took precedence over the rice so I was a happy camper. So why the 2 star?
My house wine arrived in a glass suggesting it was a 6oz. A girlfriend ordered the 9oz which arrived partially filled with a little bottle accompanying it, also filled. This suggested to me that mine was a 6oz and hers a 9oz. I ordered another glass, as did my girlfriend. Mine arrived again filled while hers arrived with the little bottle, again suggesting mine is 6 and hers is 9. When the bill came, I was dumbfounded to see $ 48 owing. Absolutely shocked. How on earth was my glass of wine $ 16 a piece? I clarified with the server who removed it from the bill but did insist that my glass was 9oz. First, a house red at Earls shouldn’t be $ 12 for 6oz/​$ 16 for 9oz. That’s just ridiculous. The wine itself was delicious and actually a new fave but the price wasn’t right, Bob. Second, the server should ask what the customer prefers in terms of sizing. I would think you shouldn’t up your customer’s booze order without their permission.
I will come back for food and drinks but I will always clarify my order.

We came here for some drinks and fries. They have plenty of daily specials especially on Sundays and Mondays. Sangria’s are very tasty. Their fries looks and taste a lot like McDonalds fries (not complaining, I like McDonalds fries). Nice patio outside. Wonderful service. Free WiFi.

Been to both the King St. W and Colossus locations. From my experience, the ambiance is great– I enjoy the live music in the summer on weekends. Great place to come watch the game with some friends and enjoy a few drinks.
My favourite dish at Earls has to be, hands down, the Santa Fe Chicken Salad. With the blackened chicken, feta, dates, beans, and avocado, this salad is good right to the very end. The peanut vinaigrette compliments all of the ingredients– I’ve actually tried to replicate this salad at home to no avail. At $ 17.00, it is well worth the price, compared to similar restaurants.
My only concern is the lighting in this place… I understand that the dim lighting adds to the ambiance, but for goodness sake, I felt like I had to feel my way through my meal.
4 Stars, and I will definitely be returning.

I returned for a lunch meet up. The food was delicious yet expensive, just like last visit. The services was notably faster than last time, so I upgrade the rating to 3 stars.

I’ve been to Earl’s before (downtown) before and the food and service was pretty good but pricey at times.
However its a nice change to visit a more suburban location to see how things pan out. Saturday night not only is this venue usual busy, but at times finding parking can be quite the task, due to its proximity to Colossus Theatre, and other restaurants in the vicinity. Luckily, and coincidently with us arriving around 9:45, most of the dinner crowd was starting to leave as it made space for US nocturnal folks who were here to have a few drinks and converse the night away.
After finding two seats at the bar, we both decided to tackle their drink menus to see what was available. She ordered the Argentine Reserve and I ordered their Argentine Malbec (9 oz). To be honest, I found their 9oz of reds were averaged at $ 15-​$ 19 which I found quite steeeeeeeep!!! so that was a bit of a bummer.
However…however the ambiance of this place is definitely nice, and both the bar and dining area are well separated from one another so you wont get bombarded by all the noise occurring in the Bar area. The service was pleasant. Unfortunately we did not have the opportunity to try some of their foods, hopefully next time…
