    This is a great place. Definite a sports bar. We visited at 5pm on a Saturday so we avoided the usual crowd. I ordered the chicken, Brie Fig sandwich with truffle fries. I LOVED the truffles fries. So yummy! My hubby ordered the fish and chips and scored them a 3.5. I'm not a fan of the sports bar type fare, but this was good.

    First visit to Earl's was at a business lunch. I arrive and as the hostess is guiding me to my table, I took a look around and noticed that there were A LOT of men. "Seems this is popular with the men" I commented. She said "Yes, it's definitely a business place." Hrm.. perhaps that just came out wrong. So onto the meal. One of the featured drinks was a watermelon piña colada. It was a hot day so why not? We order two of them (we were celebrating some good news) but were told that they wouldn't be ready for another 7-10 minutes since they had to freeze the stuff. Ok, fine... we order alternate cocktails and our meal. Food was fine, nothing really special (this visit we had bibimbap and the brie sandwich.) but what just left both of us cold was the service. As we looked around - I had pointed out how many men there were - the only male staff we saw were in the kitchen or what looked to be managers. Servers were all lovely, young women dressed in form fitting black attire and heels. The hostesses seemed to wear white. There was one man walking around picking up glasses and checking for spots (I guess) and he wore jeans. Our server was nice enough but not overly warm. My friend and I meet somewhat regularly to talk about joint business ventures and other industry things and we usually have great rapport with whomever is in our sections. We rotate through the various restaurants in the Park Meadows area since that is halfway between us. So far Earl's has been the least hospitable. Nothing bad (other than speed) but just.... cold. Anyhoo - we finally get watermelon piña coladas - fairly tasty - and finish our lunch. Fast forward to our next visit. My friend decided she really wanted another watermelon piña colada so despite our previous experience, we plan to meet at Earl's. Not sure how it was possible, but service was even colder and less personable than the previous visit. The young woman had the warmth of a popsicle - though donned a bit more of a smile at the table next to us (all men). Turns out they were out of the watermelon syrup for the piña coladas, so even the main reason we ventured back to the place was a disappointment. There was a woman in a blue dress that paid more attention to our table than our server who, whenever I caught a glimpse of her wandering about, looked like she literally couldn't even. My burger was decent, fries were ok. I had a glass of wine and my friend had a cocktail. Neither of us were asked if we wanted another round. Took a while to get our check - and the place was not busy, most of the tables were empty. I don't hate Earl's, the food is safe and non-threatening (the one exception being the bibimbap) but I'm thinking you might be better off wearing Dockers and polo shirts or buttons downs than skirts. Decor is nice, prices are ok, service meh. Doubtful we will go back again.

    Disappointing first visit. While the interior is interesting and looks like Colorado - the staff didn't exude the familiar Colorado friendliness I am used to. It was a week night and not that crowded, yet from the moment we were seated, ... we waited. We waited to meet our server. Then we waited to place a drink order. We waited and waited on those drinks. When we finally tracked down our server to order food, we were so hungry that we placed the order despite our fear that the food might resemble the service. While it may have been slightly better than the service, it sure didn't turn our experience around. We also saw other tables (even with different severs) experiencing similar issues. We will surely not return anytime soon.

    We just recently relocated to the area and decided to try a new place and I think we made a good decision! We were warmly greeted and quickly seated by the hostess. Our waitress, Abby, who was super sweet and cute, performed her job exceptionally well. My wife got the fish tacos and I ordered the wild mushroom Fettuccine Alfredo...both were exceptional. We recommend this place, especially if you're a sports fan....they have TV's everywhere with every sport imaginable simultaneously playing! Enjoy!!

    Solid choice for lunch, if in the area. Service was top notch and my choice from the menu was fantastic. I will have to return with my bride for a nice dinner. I'm sure the kids would enjoy it as well, but it has more of an adult feel to me. I''l just say it. The lights are low, but prices aren't! I love my kids, but dang. Thanks to Yelp and Earl's for the check-in bonus!

    Visiting a client in the tech center. Wound up here when I told my coworker to pick a place for lunch. My treat. I was hoping he would pick something Vietnamese or Japanese. I was very surprised to see some Asian variety on the menu. Ordered thai vegetable dish and added shrimp. Fantastic! Service was top notch. Fast. Super friendly. Drinks never got half empty. Checking in on Yelp yielded a free beer. Too bad I couldn't use it. Definitely will be back. There's also a location close to the Denver City Center Marriott where I stay.

    I was pleasantly surprised by Earl's! I was on vacation and I like to try new and interesting places while visiting other cities. A restaurant in a Mall parking lot was not on my list, trust me. However, some local friends suggested we meet there for dinner on a Saturday night and I couldn't say no. It wasn't crowded, and we were promptly greeted and sat by the hostess, even though our entire party hadn't arrived. She asked their names so that she could direct them to us when they arrived. Very nice. I love the atmosphere of the place - the decor was really homey and nice, but classy. There was a Yelp check-in offer for a free draft beer, so I took advantage of that. I like that they didn't limit it to just Bud Light or something else crappy, and I was able to order a local IPA. We started with Leroy's Crispy Dry Ribs. These were SO good! you'd have a hard time convincing me they weren't salt and pepper chicken wings. Really yummy! I had a steak for my entree. It was topped with a peppercorn sauce and served with mashed potatoes and asparagus on the side. My steak was perfectly cooked and the potatoes were really good. Our service was very good, our waitress was friendly and our drinks remained full. Overall, it was a great dinner and provided the perfect environment to catch up with friends!

    Whoever Earl is.... God bless that man. We were sat immediately, drink orders taken when we sat.... Waters brought without asking... This place is top notch. Great music and hip decor! The food....... So epic. It's thought out and flavorful and wow, in from LA and this place is incredible. Thanks to Amber, our waitress... She is a class act. I ordered the Kung Pao Bowl with shrimp... If you can cook shrimp correctly, you can do it all... AND THEY DO! Thank you Amber & Earl!

    Earl's is a great location for lunch or dinner; I have yet to be disappointed or unsatisfied in any way, and I don't plan to be! The spinach artichoke dip is probably the best thing I've ever eaten, I could go on for days about it. The atmosphere is not what I expected, but I basically love it. It's very dark and intimate in the evenings, and the fire pit adds a magical touch (cheesy, I know). I'm always happy to go back!

    Always a good place for happy hour. The wife and I stopped in at 8pm on a Monday night and the place was empty but still good. I'm used to the Thursday night happy hour which there isn't an empty seat in the house. It was still a pleasant experience. Pricy but you already new that... :)

    I've been a fan of Earl's since I used to work in Canada, so every time I find one in the States I make sure to stop in. The food is always good (although I have learned to stay away from their version of kung pao chicken because it's a bit odd), and the service always friendly. Now Earl's has hopped on the craft beer bandwagon, and while the selection isn't large they had some good beers on the menu. They have a good happy hour. Entree prices are higher than I'd like but it's a nice place.

    Awesome atmosphere. Food is great and the service is terrific. Heather was our waitress and did a great job. Had the burger and truffle fries. Fries had too much pepper but otherwise great.

    Went here for a 60th birthday party. The staff reserved a large space for about 40 of us in the back bar and provided servers to take our drink orders. It was well organized- it was also happy hour and our hosts kept a steady stream of apps coming out. They also let us bring in our own cake for the birthday gal. - spinach dip with feta cheese sprinkled on top- at first I thought it was pesto so I asked the server about the ingredients and she said they actually make it fresh and puree the spinach. Nice flavor. -wings - decent size and with a kick - good amount of celery. -shrimp tempura and mango sushi - ok. - dry ribs - tasty and something different with a good mix of salt and pepper to season them. All for the $7 HH pricing. -yelp check-in - 1 free draft! Thanks! I like that they take food allergies very seriously. The server took time to really listen and also to explain how they treat food allergies in the kitchen. They start by pressing the allergy button when they ring in the order which prompts the changing of gloves, separate food prep surfaces and separating the order from the rest of the food. When someone has a severe food allergy it is nice to know they are being cautious - good peace of mind.

    The prawns appetizer was the perfect starter to a nicely sizzled 7oz steak. The lightly buttered shrimp was fried to perfection- my only comment is that the sauce was a bit too salty for my taste. The steak - ordered medium - was tender and all around delicious. My mashed potato and asparagus sides complemented the steak well. The atmosphere was pleasant and the staff attentive.

  • Frank T.

    I love that I can find Earl's on Yelp by searching "upscale hooters" More importantly, I think the food here is solid for a chain restaurant. As an import from Canada, I welcome the non-U.S. interpretation of comfort food and steak. The dry-ribs are probably one of the best appetizers I have ever had. Earl's recently changed up their menu and I like that they added some new items without moving out of their core competencies. This isn't like going to a TGI Friday's where all of a sudden it is an Asian and a Mexican restaurant. I really enjoyed the new parmesean crusted mahi and the roasted chicken. Their chicken is on par with the Cherry Creek Grill's. They are also offering a Monday happy hour special with good drink specials and live music. The patio at this location is pretty nice and having a live band just makes it a lot of fun. I know it is down in the 'burbs but this restaurant is a bright spot within a suburban jungle of corporate owned behemoths.

    We visited on Sunday at 5 pm, and it wasn't busy at all. I don't remember our server's name, but he was friendly and very courteous. I got a burger and it was delicious. I also recommend one of the Tuna appetizers.

    Earls is always a safe bet for a good meal. The food and service keep me coming back. I have been coming to this location for over 12 years. It is good for date night or a business dinner. Burgers and salads are great. They have good TV coverage and great bar.

    They open the windows when it's warm and the bar area is then open space and it feels like you sit outside. Bar is nice. Had a classic steak with mashed potatoes and asparagos. Was really good. Service is ok, nothing special

  • Brian H.

    Went to Earls today for lunch with about 10 other co-workers. I arrived a bit late and the hostess escorted me to the group. I had ice water to drink and the cajun chicken cheddar with side salad to eat. The salad was handsomely dressed with their house vinaigrette which was great. There were pecans and goat cheese in the salad as well which was a great alternative to fries. The sandwich was light and came on a ciabatta bun cut in half. The cajun mayo was a bit more like a smoked chipotle taste but still really good. My water glass was empty numerous times before being filled. I am still trying to decide if that was our waitresses fault or the company's because they serve your ice water in a rocks glass. Kind of a joke if that is the primary drink I am having. Price was right, food was good, service...meh. 3 stars for you! Next time I will save a buck and go to Saj just inside the mall!

    Juuuuust fine. A little pricey, a little fancy, great service (and incredibly attractive servers) make for a solid experience. It's not amazing, and the price point alone make me hesitant to make it any sort of "I want to go here again!" type of stop, but you're not gonna go wrong with Earls, that's for sure. Solid food, good atmosphere (I had a med-rare steak that was cooked well, but the cut itself was a little chewy) with some great mashed potatoes and some brussell sprouts. Who has brussells on the menu?! That's awesome. Our server had to split the check for 9 people, because there were a bunch of us there for a business meal, and she was super, super awesome about doing it. No hesitation, split it perfectly -- and after having been a server who knows that this isn't really as hard as it ever seems, I'm still always appreciative of people who do this for large parties. Definitely a fine stop. Nothing grand, but not too bad if the company's paying for it!

    The wine here was great-- but I was disappointed with the appetizers. We got multiple appetizers and they were just mediocre. I was especially disappointed with the "dry short ribs." They were truly awful-- sparce on anything edible on the 1 1/2 inch bone. I was just dry and nasty-- what miniscule bits of meat I could get off it. For $11.Even the sauce I got on the side didn't help. I won't try them again.

  • Fred F.

    well we had dinner in the bar area as we wanted to watch the Olympics, the prices are out of place with the quality of the food our Prawn Sushi appetizer was 11.50 and the seaweed wrap was really tough. For more than 10.00 it should have been perfect since it contained 2 Prawns. We ordered 2 Burgers one a basic burger for 13.25 the other with bacon was 15.25. We ordered them medium rare and medium, my medium was rarer than the med rare. My burger also came with mayo on it, there was no mention of mayo on the menu. The waitress at first said all the burgers cam with it, when I pointed out the menu made no mention of toppings at all, she backed down. They did take the price of the burger off of my bill which was nice. The cheese on my wife's burger was not even melted which was weird, you can see in the pic I posted the cheese it sticking out instead of drooping. Dessert was a forgettable chocolate cake which had a heavy dry texture like a flourless cake but it was pretty thick. The bar area was also pretty loud with both canned and life music that no one really seemed to care about at all, add in the darkness and you have an overall forgettable experience. Earl's may want to think of themselves as being upscale dining but food wise they are no better than Red Robin or Chili's for much more money. Fish and chips is 23.00, while I did not have it hard to imagine I would not feel as though i had overpaid judging by the burgers. One other odd thing the waitstaff does not seem to have any kind of uniform, even something as simple as black pants/skirt which i just find a bit odd. Overall I felt there was noting there to justify the premium price they put on their food.

    We've eaten at Earl's a few times, this is my first review on them. Each time we've gone we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The food is always great and the service is even better. Jilly (Jillian) was our server last night. She was awesome, she was friendly, fun and overall fantastic. Jilly was so good that we asked to speak to her manager to let her know what a gem they had in Jilly. I had the Cajon chicken Caesar salad, my wife the Thai shrimp vegetable bowl and my daughter and her friend had burgers, all great choices.... My only negative critic is that the menu is extremely small. Given Seasons 52 is in the same parking lot, a few more healthier options would give them a run for their money... Overall a fantastic choice, we will go back!

    I gave Earl's a 4 star rating because overall, it's been great nearly every time I've been there, and I've been there a lot. However, yesterday my experience was not so good. Service, as always was pretty good. Actually, it's usually 5 star. Yesterday wasn't bad at all, just not what I'd experienced in the past but my main complaint was the dish I ordered - their Fish Taco's. I hadn't been to Earl's since last summer and the first thing that shocked me was the apparent price increases on the menu. $16.50 for a salad with iceberg lettuce? Really? Looking for something somewhat healthy and warm, I went with the fish taco's, also for $16.50. I'm sorry to say those were probably the worst fish taco's I've ever had. The first thing that set me back is something I'm seeing at more and more mid to upper price level restaurants - they pair french fries as a side with things that french fries just don't belong with. This is by design to drive "upsell" opportunities for other side items. In this case, it was $2 or more for any other option including a side salad. I refuse to play this game and told them to just keep the sides. I know that just increases their profit margin even further, but I just didn't want to play that "ring through the customers nose" game. So, for $16.50 I got two fish taco's. They have a nice sized chunk of fish in them, but obviously frozen and very, very tasteless. It's smothered with some mango salsa that to me, tasted like high fructose syrup with some bits of stuff in it. The accompanying cup of dipping sauce was good, but didn't really make the taco's palatable. The best thing about my lunch there yesterday was checking in on Yelp! and getting a free beer. You can't really screw up beer when it's delivered completely done. Unfortunately, my taco's were not in the same class as the beer. I stand by my statement that they were the worst fish taco's I've ever had, unfortunately. I will go to Earl's again, but I won't ever order those taco's again. See my other reviews from this summer if you're interested in great fish taco's at a much more reasonable price. There's a place in Morrison, CO that has great ones, and you get 3 of them for $10 with an incredible view of the foothills in summer from the outside deck. Sorry Earl's, I have to give you an F on your fish taco's.

    Came in to watch the game in sunday, ordered drinks and an appetizer. The food was good and so was the wine but service was very laking. Our waitress was in charge of us and maybe 2 or 3 more tables, it took a while for her to follow up with us and we had to flag her down if we needed anything. This location def needs to work out some kinks because the one downtown beats them out of the ball park.

    I'm originally from Canada, the birth place of Earls...so, I've been to a few. Actually, my dad practically lives at one in Toronto, ON. I adore the atmosphere and the food is always spot on. Buuuuuuuuuuuuut, the service here leaves something to be desired. We have had lunch there numerous times; not many people there. So, while there were more than enough wait staff to go around, it was impossible to get the attention of anyone (our waitress became MIA) for drink refills etc. I sort of felt like our presence there was a huge imposition. But, the chicken and Brie Sammie made up for it. Yumm yumm.

  • Whitney W.

    Some co-workers and myself went here for lunch. Our waitress was great. I had the prawns and crab salad and the green goddess dressing was amazing. I am not a big girl by any means and I was not full off of this salad. The salad called my name with the butter lettuce, bacon, prawns, crab, and others. I loved the taste of it but it was way to small for $18. I do love Earls as a restuarant there are just some girls there that are slightly out of line :). Great Lunch tho!

  • Damion W.

    I have had a good time every time I went to Earl's. They have a pretty damn good happy hour, their staff is engaging and appreciative that you came into their establishment and most of all, their food isn't bad at all. I had a rib-eye with potatoes and asparagus. The rib-eye was cooked exactly how I asked for it to be cooked the potatoes were creamy and the asparagus were cooked to perfection and seasoned with love! Everyone at my table got a steak (pretty good pay off for the server considering there were eight people) and we all enjoyed it. I don't think the place is overpriced, you are paying for a steak and ambiance that is better than your local Chili's or Applebee's. Definite recommendation if you are looking for a cool place to hang out for happy hour or go for a nice meal. As well, I bet you could score if you took your date there for date night! LOL

    I drove out of my way to eat here and it was totally worth it. So many good things on their menu and a neatly decorated restaurant. I got the chicken Brie Apple and dates sandwich and I ate every morsel. Even the fries were delicious. I would definitely go back. They do have a nice patio too.

    This place is upscale and has a great warm atmosphere. The salt and pepper dry ribs are always awesome. We tried the green chili soup and it is outstanding. Our waitress was great. She said that the green chili recipe came from the wife of the general manager. Kudos to her!

    So this is where all the "businessmen" hang out at lunch. Seriously, the clientele is overwhelming male. Maybe it has something to do with the attractive hostesses and waitresses? Even my boss commented on it (the only male in our table of 4). Came here for a business lunch. Man, am I glad I wasn't paying. The food was pretty good, but not good enough to make me pay their prices. I opted for the chicken sandwich with brie along with a side mixed greens salad. Loved the salad - nothing super special, but definitely tasty. The sandwich would have been better IMO with crisp green apples rather than baked apples. The combination of the baked apples and the fig jelly made the whole combination a bit too sweet for my taste. It was good, but not as good as I imagined when reading the menu description. I also opted for the prosecco cocktail - again good, but not as good as my mental picture. Earls is fine. They certainly know their clientele and cater to it. It would be a good place for a lunch (or dinner) where you want to impress someone. But, I'm sure it will be a long time before I'm ever back and it won't be on my dime. And, FYI, at least when I was there you get a free draft beer for checking in.

    I feel like this place is nothing more than a high end Hooters. A buddy of mine stopped by late at night for some drinks and a bite to eat only to find ourselves still famished after spending a total of $50 for a couple of appetizers and drinks. This place is really pricy and definitely not worth it. So we went to Buffalo Wild Wings immediately after for happy hour and a fraction of the cost.

  • James K.

    Been here many times over the last 8-9 years. My 3 star rating is based on the food and atmosphere only. Food is still solid bar food, but the talent has gone downhill in my opinion but I'll let folks decide on their own. Last lunch visit, the Earls was packed! Service was slow because the restaurant may not have been prepared for the number of patrons at the time. I'm glad the salted ribs are still on the menu, but for how much you get, it's fairly expensive. Got the wings as well and my colleagues got salmon and salad which were all decent, but nothing to write home about.

  • Victor B.

    I have eaten at the various Earls restaurants before. This was a spur of the moment decision to come here after doing a little holiday shopping. I had the Jeera Chicken Curry which was good. Now mind you I say it was good and not great because I feel like I could have received the same quality at Bombay Bowl for a little more than half the price. I did enjoy the presentation of my Earl Grey tea. It came with an actual bottle of honey and not just little packets that leave half the honey in the little container!!! (I get excited about honey in my tea ;-)). My girlfriend had the chicken and mushroom fetuccini. She enjoyed her dish very much. Earls to me, is one of those establishments that is good every now and again or like in this case if it's nearby and beats out the other restaurants surrounding it. Good food, mediocre prices, all in all I will be back just not frequently.

    If I was going to build a man cave, it would loosely resemble the decor of Earls. Didn't know what this restaurant was about going into it, but coming it out of it, I would say it is very decadent and its very masculine. There were televisions everywhere and they were all on ESPN or such. As far as the food, we're leaning towards the lighter side lately but I really enjoyed the salad and the chicken apple brie sandwich. This review is somewhat incomplete in that I have no idea what the steaks are like and it appears this is what Earls features the most. Oh I almost forgot, I got a free beer for doing a Yelp check in here. That in and of itself is got to be worth five stars right?

    We went here for an impromptu celebration after my moms last radiation treatment at apical hospital. We sat in the bar since we were there at 4 and it was a bit early for dinner. Great happy hour and appetizer specials. The best part though was our waitress Lydia. When she heard that we were there to celebrate and that we were celebrating mom being cancer free and done with treatment, she presented us with a bottle of prosecco on the house. That level of caring and attention to customers makes this 5 stars. Thank you Lydia and Earls!

    Its fairly poor on lighting, but I think that is part of their "experience." Overall, the food is average to good, probably a 3.5-4.0 out of 5. Its a little overpriced for the quality of food you get, but then again, you probably aren't going to Earl's for the food. All of the waitresses and hostests are cinched up in small black dresses. You won't find a really ugly one, but they are meant to be eye candy. This place really reminds me of a touch-more-upscale Hooters. They attempt to be slightly more classy, but its really just average food with "pretty" servers. Its kind of a creepy hangout for old businessmen if you ask me. Its not a bad place, but certainly not for kids. On the other hand, nothing is that great about it either.

    Men, listen up, because Earl's is catering to you. Star 1: How was the service and atmosphere? While I had no idea before showing up at Earl's for a lunch meeting, I started to wonder why virtually all of the clientele during lunch on a Thursday were men. Turns out one thing that Earl's does really, really well is hire stunningly beautiful servers. Wow. No joke. Fortunately, there are some brains behind these (albeit fake) blondes. Service was extremely fast, and the atmosphere was upscale. Star Granted. Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost? While I might normally be a bit upset paying $16.50 for a pretty basic curry dish, you really do pay for the service, the atmosphere, and the views. That having been said, I can't really complain after walking out for under $20. Star Granted. Stars 3 and 4: How was the food? Meh. Similar to Sonic, I start to worry when I see American, Indian, Italian, Mexican and Asian all on the same menu. Can you really master a cuisine when you craft so many out of the same kitchen?. When it comes to the Indian, no, you can't. The brown rice was good, but the salt content of my curry was absolutely through the charts. Single Star Granted. Star 5: Would you eat here every day if you could? Earl you sneaky hobbit. Would I normally choose to pay $15+ for food that wasn't great every day? No, but you guys seriously need to check out these servers. Taking that into consideration? Yeah, I'd show up here daily. Star Granted.

    Beautiful location, very chic design. This place is definitely more male friendly as it seems to cater to men who enjoy being served by done up pretty ladies. I get it of course, but it certainly makes it less appealing for a woman to eat at. Occasionally a server will make you feel like a nuisance because you're not a man in a fancy suit that will leave an excessive tip. They used to have one of my favorite pastas in town, but have since taken it off the menu. While they have other dishes that are pretty tasty, they're not necessarily good enough to keep returning here for with just "so-so" service.

    Relaxed atmosphere and rather creative menu for a bar-type restaurant. Quite overpriced, though. I enjoyed the Cajun chicken. Large portions. Nice drink menu. Service is extremely hit or miss. Seems that restaurant specifically hires what most people would consider attractive women.

    I don't know how else to describe this newly redone restaurant but sexy sounds good. It is very dark inside and I thought it was a bit noisier that some restaurants. Lots of business men probably because of the good looking waitresses working there. I only know this because I saw wondering eyes. My husband said the burger was the best he had and my son loved his chicken sandwich. I had a spinach salad with crusted chicken, cranberries, cheese and nuts. it was very good but I should have had a sandwich I think. I was more in the mood for bread thasn spinach. I was my birthday so Earls was gracious enough to buy me a yummy dessert. Chocolate cake, ice cream in a candy basket. It had a thin carmel sauce and chocolate sauce. Delicious. There goes my salad only eating. Oh well. I hear when its ones birthday the calories are set at zero. So I am good.

    I love Earl's!! I have been to all of them in Colorado and they are all cool. I love how each one has a different decor. This one's decor is so awesome. Its all wood, metal, exposed lights & fireplaces. Kind of a trendy, masculine, hipster/craftser style. I like it a lot. It is also really big so you aren't as cramped as the Cherry Creek or downtown ones. I like that Earl's has a swanky lounge feel. You can totally dress up with the girls, go in a suit after work, or go out on a date too. The food is very man friendly (and so are the waitresses so watch out if your man has a wandering eye!) This is my favorite place to go out at Park Meadows besides Sandia. Worth the drive out of the mall. If you are gluten free I HIGHLY recommend their tacos. Just ask for corn tortillas. The Dominical Fish Tacos are the bomb and I order them every time. Their house salad is really good too. If you're feeling naughty though get the fries! They are like gourmet fast food style. Any of the Earl's are great to go to, but this is the only one with parking!

    Great food, awesome happy hour and laid back atmosphere. Earl's is above and beyond most other chain restaurants - I actually had no idea they were a chain until some friends mentioned it. The outdoor seating area is fantastic and the bartenders have been consistently friendly and responsive every time we've been. I love their chowder - seriously, so good. Really haven't had a bad experience with the food. Be prepared for very large portions with many of the entrees (not complaining - just saying to be prepared). The only reason I'm giving 4 stars is because the service can be up and down. Granted, they're going for the "upscale hooters" look with the waitresses that another poster mentioned which is fine but I think sometimes the concentration seems to be on how the servers look rather than what kind of service they're providing. Love the food, the service can sometimes leave something to be desired. All in all though, we've been happy the vast majority of the times we've been there.

    Trendy and a bit vanilla, but good food and good service. Lots of pretty women if that's what you're into, which I'm not, but I don't hate the sports at the bar or the tasty drinks and food. Same menu as downtown and CC (I think), which is to say I only eat the dynamite roll and the dry rub ribs and am glad to see them provided at this location. Not sure if anything else is good, other than the booze. Which hello, is very good.

    I've been to Earls in Arizona and (oddly enough) Saskatchewan, but I hadn't been to one of the Colorado locations until Saturday night. We had dinner at Rock Bottom and then decided that in an attempt to not be old and lame, we should go somewhere else too, and settled on Earls. The bar was crowded at 10 or so, but we were able to snag a booth within a minute or two. I had a passion fruit caipirinha and a raspberry mojito, and both were delicious but not cheap. The guys both went with gin and tonics, and said they weren't standouts but were also only $3.50. The bar is well-decorated, service is friendly and it's great for people-watching. I would happily go back.

    Nothing like being ignored twice in under 30 minutes. My girlfriends and I were there to celebrate. We came in to have a bite to eat and a drink. We sat in a booth in the bar. We were greeted and given water. 15 minutes later our darling waitress still had not come back. Beyond irritated we moved to the bar. After 10 minutes at the mostly empty bar the bartender was still at the other end chatting it up up with the only other people sitting at the bar. We were never acknowledged or tended to. We decided to take our money across the street. Overpriced and overrated. Stay away!

    My employer had planned for our holiday party to be here. The restaurant knew we were coming, but it wasn't set up like they wee expecting us. People were split up between tables. So much for a holiday gathering. Can't say anything about the food since I only had drinks. My adult beverages were tasty, and the hostesses were friendly.

  • Alexis G.

    I loved the decor at Earl's. The dark wood is warm and inviting and the fireplaces are spectacular. I wish I could say the same for the food. The mixed greens salad was topped with an apple cider vinaigrette and candied nuts. Basically, it was overdressed and the nuts were too sweet.. I had the fish tacos which includes two tacos. The flavors of the cabbage, mango salsa, and sauce didn't blend together well and the fish was about the diameter of a straw. Definitely not worth the price.

    This place is amazing. It is a little pricey but really good fresh food and good service. I had the Sante Fe chicken salad I think it was called. Was simply delicious, really good flavor and fresh ingredients. The raspberry mojito was really good and the gingerbread cake was simply to die for!! I am hard to please when it comes to restaraunts and I would definitely recommend this place. Try it, you won't be disappointed.

    My wife and I have been eating at Earls for years, and recently had the opportunity to partake in a 'chef's table' that our friends purchased at a charity event. WOW, what an amazing experience. I knew that I loved the atmosphere; the food seemed to always been tasty; and a good wine selection; but to learn the ins-and-outs on how Earls conducts their business is truly impressive. The kitchen is a work-of-art and their cooking staff are the masterful 'painters'. This experience has definitely changed my view on Earls from a 'consistently good choice' to a 'top of the list' restaurant to go when I want a good meal without spending a stupid amount of money (compared to those high-end Steak-Joints)

    Earls...you've noticed that a large percentage of the reviews mention the hotties that work there and that is not an accident. I'm pretty sure that when most people leave they are not talking about the food, which isn't necessarily a bad thing if you are going there for a cocktail....the bar area is nice, enough TV's to watch sports, but The food is better than typical bar food, but it's not so good that when you leave you're talking about the pasta...invariably it will be "that hostess is WAY too young to be wearing that dress". The burgers are good, the steak...just OK. There are much better 30 something dollar steaks. The only thing on the menu that really shines are the dry rubbed ribs (be careful they are salty). If you're going for a drink and a burger after golf, it's a good spot. If you're just grabbing a lunch and a coke you'd do better off down the road.

    Just got back from Earl's for a work luncheon, and it was a tasty place... Obviously, people know Earl's for one main reason: an incredible attractive wait staff, and I'm totally ok with that fact. Our service was good; the redesign of the interior of the restaurant is nice. Food was very tasty. Not recommended for a guy on a first date, or with an insecure wife/girlfriend, etc, because the women working there are probably much more attractive than your date. And I say good for Earl's: nothing wrong with having attractive women working there; I drives business, and for the guys, helps you have a nice dining experience. As for some of the reviews complaining about the women in skimpy dresses, objectifying women, or high prices, I say to you: 1. Why should you care if the women are dressed that way? They're not making you dress that way, and as long as your server does a good job, then who cares. Seems like you're the ones judging, not them... 2. Prices: for what you get, I think the prices are fair. Not the best, but for the food you get, they're reasonable. One review complained about $23 for the halibut. Have you ever bought halibut from a store? I'm thinking not, because it's not priced much lower than that, and you have to consider that you're paying for someone else to prep the food and serve it. Plus, look at the area that it's in; it's Park Meadows/Highlands Ranch, which is really the overpriced douchebag capitol of the Denver area. Good experience, I would go there again. I'm a mom and pop restaurant fan, so I tend to shy away from these places, but it was good.

    Pretty funny atmosphere at the bar. I've been to the 16th Street Earls several times, but hadn't been to this Park Meadows location before. I was in the area for a mid-afternoon business interview, then was going to wait for a friend to join me in the area for a bite to eat and maybe a stroll through the mall. I'm a gay male (definitely NOT Earls' targeted demographic) and arrived at around 3:30 PM (thought I'd beat the happy hour rush.) The bar area was PACKED, not a single female customer in sight and filled with 40s-50s married businessmen who were obviously all regulars, as the nubile female staffbots were all going from table to table, hugging and kissing everyone, sitting down with the horndogs and catching up. Drooling mid-life crisis whitebread dudes were packed in like sardines...at 3:30 PM on a Tuesday. The staff is early-mid twenties, average-to-attractive, but tarted up with makeup and extensions to appear more attractive, and all wearing black, tight, revealing garb. They were all actually friendly and efficient, however...no problem with that. They've definitely grown accustomed to big-time flirting with the clientele in the bar area; good for them, as I'm sure they BANK! I had a couple of beers (cold pints) and a happy hour selection of 2 chicken tacos (very good, actually, but kind of asian/vinaigrette-tasting.) I was just there to wait until my pal could get there on the lightrail from the Univ. of Denver area, so I really enjoyed the "show" in the bar area. The downtown Earls is more low-key and classier (customer-wise) than this suburban mecca for horned-up married 50-year olds, but hey, that's kind of what I was expecting...and they do have decent food, drinks and service...don't forget your Rogaine and Viagra, dude.

    I've been to Earl's downtown several times, the Cherry Creek one a few times and now the one in the Park Meadows area. Out of all of them, the downtown one is by far the best food, bar, and service. The hostesses are very nice. We walked in on a Thursday evening where it was pretty crowded with guys watching football. No problem getting a table in the dining are though. Fitting with the posts here and the rumors, the clientele is predominantly male and the waitstaff are attractive 20-something women. My most recent visit, I ordered the Bronx Burger with a salad and glass of wine. The wine list [by the glass] is weak in the sense there are few options and the options available aren't great selections for their varieties. This could be that more men dine there and the restaurant is more focused on beer? I digress...The burger is a "half pound patty, beer battered onion rings, roasted garlic aioli, red pepper relish, aged white cheddar and rocket greens." The biggest part of the entree is omitted in the description--the bun! Not a fan of a huge fluffy bun that hides the flavor of the ingredients its holding together. If it has top-quality ingredients, the burger doesn't need something to hide the flavor. The burger is okay, nothing that stands out aside from the price. I think Earl's is priced too high for what you get. The food, bar and service isn't bad, just not worth the price. However, if you're going for a more tasteful 'Hooters' dining experience, maybe this is it.

    The service at this location is always spot on! We went in the other day for happy hour and all of the tables were taken. We decided to just wait as we did a quick walk through and couldn't find a spot. A waitress then came up to us after she noticed we couldn't find a place and offered to get us drinks and help us grab a table when one was available! The staff seems to always work together and give great service even when they are busy! Food is awesome too!

  • Telling It Like It Is G.

    Very disappointing, more expensive than Flemings, less service. If you want to practice the Heimlich try the Kung Po Shrimp, the shrimp comes with hard tails still in place so when you start eating be careful. When I mentioned this to the waitress she apologized, some woman came by, I think was the manager, she could only apologize and said it was an ongoing complaint, but they haven't corrected it yet. REally, what does it take to correct this health hazard? Only five pieces of medium shrimp, well overcooked, with tails in place. Wife's steak was very small and not as tender of a cut, blue cheese that topped the steak was not very good and just a small dab. This could be a good restaurant with better management for cooking and service. Get ready for price shock, my martini that usually cost 9.00 was 13.50. Calamari usually is around nine to ten dollars is 13.50. If you want service, go elsewhere.

    Went here with my sister and a high school buddy of mine the Saturday night following Thanksgiving. Good times. The servers are attentive, and foxy. However, I ordered a Grey Goose Martini, up. It came in a highball glass. Not cool. Our server, Amanda, more than made up for the faux pas by being attentive and extra cute. Working the tip, FYI. I'm 45...it ain't me, knowimsayeen? Anyway, I had a great time here but found it to be an upscale kinda sports bar. The finger food was pretty good; and surprisingly, did a decent sushi roll. Not Miyabi 9 good, but certainly edible.

    Earls is popular with many who work around Inverness and Meridian. The menu is varied, and i have found the food consistently good over a four year period. Best is to sit outside on the patio in the summer or fall. Some favs of mine include: Nan bread, calamari, tuna appetizer, Berry Salad & New York Strip.

  • Jason J.

    The burgers here are okay but a little pricey. They always make it to order and my burgers are always as charred as I specify. Earl's is known for hiring attractive women as waitresses which is why the guys at work always want to go here for lunch. Judging by the suits it's also a good place to bring clients in for a good lunch. Service is usually right on top of things as well, hence the 3 stars.

    I stopped in to Earls for lunch on a Saturday. I had the cajun chicken cheddar sandwich. The seasoning was pretty strong, but if you like that kind of seasoning, it would probably be perfect for you. The chicken was extremely juicy. The staff was friendly and helpful. The fries could have been fresher, but overall I was very pleased with my meal and would stop in again.

    Had dinner in the restaurant with a longtime friend. Salmon with a mustard glaze and steamed veggies. It was excellent. Not overcooked and dry like most places serve it. Service was excellent as well. Her honesty and recommendations were spot on. The service was so good we called the manager over to make sure he knew how great our server was. We then adjourned to the bar and had a couple glasses of Scotch. The bartenders were both very friendly and chatted with us a bit. Great place!

    Wow, you might consider getting your air conditioning repaired on a hot day like today. If we're spending almost $100 on a meal, I would at least appreciate cool air in the place. Ridiculous that you are open and your air conditioning is not on. :(

    Earl's Kitchen & Bar has just finished off a 3-month remodel, and it looks gorgeous inside. It's a nice upscale interior, and there isn't a bad seat in the house if you are interested in catching a game on their multitude of big-screens. They did a serious upgrade on the chairs as well - they are actually comfortable now - I wanted to steal one for my office. Gone is the crappy pizza. Staying are the short black cocktail dresses. Both are good things. We started the meal with the mainstay of the restaurant - Leroy's Crispy Dry Ribs. I don't know who Leroy is, but he seriously likes the salt. These are - as always - salty and good with a beer. (BTW - free beer on Yelp!) I followed that up with the Los Cabos Chicken Tacos, with a side of Yam Fries. The tacos had a very spicy sauce on the side, and a spicy cilantro slaw on top of the grilled chicken, which was wrapped in a yellow corn tortilla. The tortilla could have been cardboard, but the chicken was nice. The sauce and slaw were HOT. You'll need something to calm the fire. Fortunately, the yam fries, which were not greasy, but well cooked, had a nice thick mango sauce on the side, which did the trick - almost. My wife had a new menu item - the grilled atlantic salmon, which sat in a pool of apple beurre blanc, and had fennel and apple slaw on top of it. Sides included brown basmati rice and fresh green beans. First off, the sauce is rich. Very rich. Fortunately, the nutty flavor of the rice nicely offset it. The beans were sort of middling - not crisp, but not limp either. This is a rich dish, and thats the only downside. We need to go back to try the new desserts (Gingerbread cake, and sticky toffee pudding). It's nice to see the list didn't include any of the "normal" restaurant desserts. This place has definitely improved itself since the re-model, and I hope it continues to excel.

    My wife and I were trying to find a place to go for our anniversary and we decided on this place as we recently moved down south and wanted to try some new restaurants. We picked Earl's since they had a pretty wide selection of food and we weren't sure what exactly we wanted to eat. Unfortunately we were dissappointed with the food. My wife ordered the filet and requested it to be cooked medium and it came out well done. My wife did not want to send back however and still stated it tasted good but the filet was nearly brown throughout with little to no pink/red inside. She also had mashed potatoes and I tried those and they seemed a little bland to me. I ordered the Dungeness Crab Linguini and think it had about a teaspoon of dungeness crab in it. It did contain some cut up shrimp so I'm thinking they may have ran out but I asked our server and she said that was typical... The food is outrageously overpriced for what you get to be honest and I'd never go back. Our bill came out to $75 excluding tip for two meals and two drinks (Ranger IPA and a glass of wine) For like $25 bucks more you can go to Capital Grille and have one of the best meals of your life... My wife was a bit uncomfortable with the way the waitress and hostess dressed as they had some really short skirts on, I however didn't mind too much ;)

    Sunday for lunch and some football...and hitting the mall too of course! The dry rubbed ribs are so tasty! A little salt and pepper goes a long way! I also had the ahi tuna sandwich with the yam fries - holy flavor! Cucumber, sweet onion jam, ahi, wasabi mayo on toasted ciabatta - oh my goodness! The tuna was seared to perfection. I really like the atmosphere here as well - and unlocked the 1 free beer deal from yelp!

    I do not give out many 1 stars, however this place deserves it more than any place maybe that I have ever been. We walk in around 2 in the afternoon to find no one at the hostess station. After standing there a few minutes we walk into the bar area. One chick in a tight black dress wanders over and stares at me for a moment. I asked her if I should just seat myself. She says yes, then it occurs to her that I have 2 kids with me and asks if I am dining. About this time another chick in a tight black dress wanders in. There is an exchange between the two tight black dressed ones and they both disperse in different directions. I made a split second decision to follow the more attractive of the two, which seemed to be the correct decision because eventually she had menus in her hands and passed by us again. We walk into this really large room that has 2 other families in it sitting at two tables side by side in the corner. She sat us right next to those two tables forming a triangle while there are 40 other tables wide open. She was nice enough to provide a 9 year old and 7 year old with a wine list along with the regular menus that are large books. She informed us someone would come to take our order shortly. We notice another girl in a tight black dress (that she should have not been wearing) wander near by and inform us she would be with us in a moment. We hear her take the drink order of the table behind us and wander away again. A few minutes later she brought them their drinks and asked them if they were ready to order. She took their order and wandered away again. At this point I had been there for 20+ minutes, sitting down for 15 or so and still did not have a drink of any sort. No kids menus, no drinks, and $33 for a rib eye steak. We got up and left. As we were leaving we told the 2nd tight black dress girl we were leaving to go elsewhere and her response was exactly what I expected. She said "OK!" with a clueless stare that is usually reserved for models.

    I like this place. Probably for the same reasons others dislike it. The food is really good. It is a nice atmosphere with the upscale English pub feel. The waitresses are super friendly and very attractive. That is one of the reasons I like to take male business colleagues there. The other is that it is a quiet place (in the dining room) to talk business, with the bar appropriately boisterous to unwind. I have never had a bad meal here. Go with the Ahi Tuna appetizer and you cannot go wrong with the Filet and mashed potatoes. They have a good selection of beer, try something local (New Belgium 1554 is my fav). They do not have a children's menu, which was disappointing for my son.

    Recently got invited to a Happy Hour at Earl's Bar by a group of friends, unfortunately I don't understand all the hype about this place. I think every randy business man in the South Metro was there and just a hand full of female clientele. The legendary "hot waitresses" are an assortment of brats and barbies. Excuse me, stop your whining, but if the shoe fits... $5.75 for a pint of Fat Tire. Sorry folks, but this over blown & over priced lounge ain't my cup of tea.

    The only restaurant open late so we didn't have much choice. It was fairly busy and loud. The spinach & artichoke appetizer was $11. A manhattan was $13. It was over priced. The server was great until we asked to split the bill. You could see the hatred by the look on her face. I doubt we will return!

    Overpriced, bad kitchen, not such great service, and too many douchebags at the bar. So, my friends from the springs were headed north and wanted to go to Park Meadows mall. For what reason, I cannot fathom, but I played host anyway. Knowing this place is a cluster to find anything in, I got there a little early to scout out a place for lunch and give them directions. Earl's appeared to be the only non-chain in the entire place, so I picked it. Well, I was wrong, apparently this place is a chain. It's kind of a "hunting themed" Gordon Beirsch that thinks its the Brown Palace. I headed to the bar to get a well-deserved beer after dealing with the idiots in the parking lot. (Tangent- Is there like a "stupid laser" that hits people as they drive into the Park Meadows parking lot that suddenly makes them incapable of making decisions about turning and parking?) My beer was good and cold. But, the college game on the tv was way too loud for me to read my book, but not loud enough to drown out the douchebaggery to my right. Seriously, does this place look like a sports bar? Does it look like a divey place where you should be hammered by 11am and offering to buy the bartender shots? Lady, put your fake boobs away!!! My friends finally arrived and we got a table. The prices on the menu were pretty steep and the food looked pretty average. I mean, if you charge $15 for a burger, at least put pest or brie or something fancy on it. I could go to TGIFridays and get it for $8. I opted for wings and the friends went for burgers. Well, I've had better wings from Pizza Hut and my friend's well-done burger was practically bleeding (that didn't stop them from taking ~45min to make the damn thing tho). She is way too nice to complain, so she just didn't eat it (and still paid the $15+ for it). Our server was pretty much non-existent except to take our orders and bring our food, even though the restaurant was practically empty. Grrr! I want a refill, damnit! Quit flirting with your co-worker and bring on the ice tea! So, suffice it to say, I will not be returning and I recommend you take a pass on this place.

    Very disappointed. I used to love their house salad with apple cider vinaigrette and they got rid of it. I also ordered a ginger pineapple margarita, supposedly made with tequila blanco, fresh lime, ginger and instead it tasted like a margarita mix - definitely no fresh lime and they used ginger syrup instead of ginger like they did in the past. All in all, this place used to be much better and has just gone downhill.

    I have mixed feelings about Earl's. I don't necessarily mind coming here for dinner, but it's definitely not my first choice when dining in Park Meadows. Or second or third, for that matter. The food is decent, with a nice selection of salads, entrees, fish, steak, burgers and sandwiches, but it tends to be a bit on the greasy, buttery side of things. Prices are also decent, but border on being just a bit too high for what you get. What I can't wrap my head around is why this place is such a busy go-to destination. It's busy every night of the week, both the bar and the dining room. Lots of dudes on business, I suppose, to the point where I've walked in and walked right back out to go to a more low-key restaurant. You almost have to be in the right mood to hit up Earl's.

    We weren't exactly dressed up, but we happened to be passing by and decided to try the place out. The hostess was polite and friendly. We were immediately offered patio seating. It was a nice gesture since the weather was nice, but it seemed like a way to shove us out of sight. Good to know that we need to be better dressed next time. We opted for an empty booth, but it was one that wasn't cleaned. They cleared it off for us (took the receipt holder and dirty dishes away), but they didn't wipe it down. The service is odd. They're not friendly, but they're not mean either. I think they exhibit a lack of proper training. They seemed awkward overall. Maybe it's the dresses they have to wear? Maybe it was because we were dressed too casual? I ordered the chicken curry and my husband ordered the Earl's burger and green chili. There's a lot of flavor in the food. I felt that it was enough food for me, but my husband was still hungry and ate the rest of my meal. The food was ok for what it is, but not for the price.

    Went for a late lunch at Earl's last week. At almost 2:30pm and Earl's was packed. Chose to go to the bar so I could be seated quickly. I went to the the bar for a quick lunch. Bartender was a little surprised that I ordered Lemonade and not an adult beverage. I soon learned why when I realized I was sitting in a regulars area at the bar... Met three regulars that were known by all of the bartenders and the waitresses... I was jonesing for a green chile stew. I had their green chili and a salad. The green chili put together the equal amount of heat and flavor! Large warm tortilla accompanied the green chili and soaking the tortilla in the stew was heavenly. Only complaint is I could have used more. Really enjoyed the tasted and my salad was crisp, cool, and had the right amount of dressing. The W breakdown: 1). This place is popular and packed. Be prepared to wait. 2). Food was served quick and hot! 3). If you're married, wear a pair of blinders. The staff is easy on the eyes. 4). Looks like a great bar scene if you're into that. They are a ton of regulars here. 5). Earl's is next to the Park Meadows mall. Be prepared to face tons of traffic. 6). Not a bad place to watch the game in the place.

    I had the porcini crusted filet with chive butter, green beans and I subbed the mashed potatoes for a wedge salad. I personally am not fond of blood dripping out of my steak when I cut into it, so I order mine Med Well. My steak was perfectly cooked to my liking, it was tender and juicy. Perfect! The chive butter was to die for. My wedge was fresh, crisp and delicious. Best of all, I had a glass of Seghesio Sonoma Zin, which is a superb bottle of Zin for $20 retail. It was a perfect pairing. Our waitress was very attentive and kind. A fabulous lunch spot today, and I am sure a great dinner spot as well. We will be back! Oh, and the dry rub ribs appetizer is a must to start.

    Meat-Market-Palooza!! There is some SERIOUS eye candy here ...... Heavy on the looks .... light on the brain-thingy. Did you know they serve food here??! I know. I didn't either. Go figure.

    This place is known for the breasts and thighs. Seriously, it is all about the eye candy. The food is OK. I had the Hunan Kung Pao and it was good. Other than that, the place is staffed with young hot women. It is essentially and upscale Hooters.

    My idea to stop in. My husband recently went in for a lunch with co-workers and was not very impressed by the hype of attractive girls working here. Of course, that made his co-workers decide that I must be super attractive for him not to think the girls here were "hot"... or maybe it was just a story he made up to get me to go here out of curiosity. Honestly, not everyone looks good in black. I realize they are trying to be an upscale "man place" here but, letting your wait staff wear some color won't take away from the ambiance, I assure you. In any case, I can understand why my husband wasn't too interested in the high school girls working here... they don't have any assets (I guess they are still developing them) and he's definitely a boob man. Okay, enough about the flat chested staff, I'll wrap up about the staff by saying the service was alright. Not horrible, not the best I've ever had. The food, of course I picked one of the most expensive things on the menu... my Atlantic salmon was good and cooked well. My potatoes were ok. My asparagus was wayyyy overcooked. My husband really enjoyed their chicken tacos, and I found it humorous that they were doing a fundraiser for Susan Komen, a breast cancer awareness non-profit by donating some proceeds from alcohol sales. The booths are comfy, and the atmosphere is not bad. Most likely we will be back for dinner because it was nice to go some place that was so quiet on Saturday evening at 5:30 and not have to wait for a table.

    I like this place. Although it's a bit expensive for drinks.....the dry rubbed ribs are my absolute fave. Great seats/booths where you can sit side by side with your date and flirt all evening long.........maybe that's why our drink tab was so expensive..,haha.

    One review (6/29/10) says this is a mougar (male cougar) hot-spot. He could not be more accurate! The way some of these men act when a woman walks in to the bar is hilarious. It's free entertainment I guess! My husband and I usually visit Earls on the weekend and only ever sit in the bar area. The drink specials are GREAT on the weekends, which is why we like to go there. The food is pretty good too. Service is good usually (great if you're a guy that flirts with the attractive waitresses). Service is very slow if the bar is crowded.

    I was apparently one of the douchebags at the bar today to watch Spain play Portugal. Oh well, I'm down w/ douche-foolery. This is a mougar (male cougar) hot-spot. I'd been to the Earl's downtown, but never experienced so many mid-life crisis experiencing people all in the same place. The parking lot accurately reflects this as well as I pulled up in my Honda. Service at the bar was very good, the Meditteranean Linguini was very tasty, arrived promptly, and had a nice warm bowl to warm my hands with. Some of the best Diet Coke I've had in the state.

    Stunned there are so many reviews that discuss the attractiveness and amiability of the wait staff. We visited today for the first time and the wait-staff was neither attractive nor even passably friendly. Well, correction: the hostess was really friendly and made us feel welcome despite our being probably underdressed. But the waitress, while efficient, was very very unfriendly and supercilious. I have certainly had worse service from snottier gals in the past (see my review of White Chocolate Grill) but it was evident this gal was not interested in us. She was really friendly and cheerful with other members of the staff, and we did our level best to be friendly to her, but she was having none of us. We ordered a Caesar salad with chicken and a Bronx burger. We both enjoyed our food a lot and were grateful for the slightly upscale twist the kitchen put on both of these items. The rosemary oregano bread app we ordered was not terribly interesting, sadly, but no big whoop. Pretty expensive joint but we expected that so no points off for that. I liked the ambience pretty well. Husband didn't care for it and he is the demo they're going for (early 50s male). All food presentation was excellent and attractive. LOVE LOVE LOVE that when they brought coffee, the mug was atop napkins and then atop a plate along with the little bowl of sugar and spoon. Makes me crazy when restaurants don't bring even a little plate to put your wet spoon and empty condiment packets. Probably won't go back again based on how we were treated.

    The service here is way too hit or miss. When its on they are great- when off they are terrible. Not a bad menu, wish the appetizers were expanded a bit.

  • Kevin S.

    Talk about eye-candy...Walk in and you are greeted by a very attractive, young, pleasant girl who is friendly and outgoing, makes some light conversation while walking you to your table. There has to be some requirement that in order to work at Earl's you have to be good looking. Not sure how they get away with it, but they do. Earl's caters to the business professional male lunch crowd. Get there early (before noon), if you want to get a table or sit at the bar just about any day of the work week. During the lunch rush it can get loud especially in those areas where the tables are close together. Ask for a booth if at all possible. The food is better than average and in fact can be very good. The service itself is for the most part good. On occassion you may get a slower, not as friendly waitress but for the most part, they do a good job. If you just want to stop in and have a cocktail and check out the scenery, the bar is a good place to do it. Friendly bartenders, good drinks, if not a bit on the pricey side, and plenty of flat screen TVs.

    Earls is tough to define, but I'll go so far as to say it is one of the most upscale sports bars I've been to. I love the wine/beer selections, and the food is consistently good. I like that it is open later than most restaurants in the area - it is a good place to go after a movie or a game. The restaurant is dark and a bit loud - OK for most situations, but if you are looking for a quiet place this is probably not the best choice. They have a good wine by the glass option - basically a small or large pour. Some good wines by the glass, too.

    I was reluctant to dine at Earls when someone told me it's the "Classy Hooters". Those two words are an oxymoron and it just pissed me off a bit. But thank goodness a few other friends shared the opposite and they felt it was an upscale dinning establishment. With opposing reviews, I had to try it for myself. The lot was full of higher end autos. The parking lot was clean as well as the outside appearance of Earls. When entering you will be greeted by a beautiful high school / college aged female. Very athletic looking and also very clean appearance. Friendly, helpful, quick. The dinning area is very clean and the atmosphere is nice. The bar area is as expected. Our hostess was very beautiful and very sweet. She was new to Earl's but had a pleasant and professional appearance. She made our first impression of Earls' staff a wonderful one. She joked with us about the pop out wine list and recommended we take a few moments and explore our options. Yes, she is very beautiful. The food was wonderful. I had the Lois Lake Cedar Planked Salmon. The Salmon was tender and very flavorful. My companion enjoyed The Bronx Burger. He will be back again. It was the best burger has had in the area. And YES. Our waitress was beautiful, friendly, sweet. We also noticed the busboys are all college age and very good looking. Did I say VERY Good Looking.... The price is a little steep. $16.00 for a burger, but my friend believes it was worth every bite. Overall: YES. Everyone working at Earl's is beautiful but not one person was dressed or behaved inappropriately. The food was sensational. The atmosphere is engaging.

    Suburban cool? I feel like this place belongs in Scottsdale AZ. Sorry, not impressed with the food, the scene, the staff, or the spot. And, this place is probably a great example of why i don't live in Denver. I feel this place epitomizes the "culture" in the Denver suburbs.

    2.5 star review. I only had takeout from them as I couldn't be one of the suits taking a client out to lunch. I had work to do and stayed behind. My coworkers brought back a pulled pork sandwich. it was a decent sandwich. I've had much better, pretty much at any BBQ place. Then again, the sandwich and fries sat in the takeout container for 10 minutes before it arrived. I bet it would have tasted better if I ate at the restaurant. 1. It wouldn't have been steamed in a box for 10 minutes (soggy fries) 2. Attractive waitresses bringing me the food

  • Jason L.

    Ack. So heres the thing. I hate Earls. Its not because the food isn't OK or that the waitstaff is, well, pleasant... Its because whenever I have customers in town, and get to have an expensive, fancy lunch to compensate for a dull and drabe work focused conversation, the sales guys always want to take them to Earls. The food is just OK, as is the service (note, the servers are great, that's why we go there I guess). Earls, it is the place to take clients, out of towners and frat boys that never grew up...

    I'd been to Earl's before, but just in the bar area, which I don't think you can really judge a place by. Yes, the waitstaff is gorgeous--young women usually are. Maybe that's why today the place was packed with mostly 40-something business men having lunch. When I walked in today with two of my female co-workers, it felt odd. I ordered water with lemon and got water minus the lemon. Not a huge deal. We ordered some naan to start the meal. When the waitress brought out the small plates to serve it on, two of them were chipped and cracked and the other was dirty. When we brought this to her attention she said it was the dishwasher's fault and she didn't have any more plates to give us. Umm, what?? The naan was still doughy and under cooked. Ick. While we sat waiting for our entrees, I saw waitresses bringing out lots of orders to tables that arrived much later than us. I actually sat up several times, just to see the waitress pass me by and take food to another nearby table. Finally our food came. I ordered the Janeer Chicken Curry. I should have known better. Don't order curry at a restaurant that seems more like a hip American steakhouse. I didn't care for it at all. The check took a long time to get to us as well. One note about the atmosphere. I like the orange, warm lighting. I like the dark brown leather chairs and the deeply stained wood. The problem is that the tables are too close for the loungey low chairs they have at them. I even saw the waitresses looking around for a way through the maze of tables several times. That's no bueno. On our way out, I saw our waitress standing at the bar kissing and hugging a patron who was obviously just there to hang out. No wonder everything took so long. Our waitress needed some lovin between courses.

    Since being in Denver we have eaten at Earls twice now. Its close to the hotel and the service is very prompt and friendly. The drinks aren't too expensive and the food prices are pretty good. I had the lobster and shrimp pasta dish and it was actually pretty impressive. Another person at my table had a great looking steak and it almost made me regret my choice. However I have enjoyed my meal there both times and it has been an overall great experience. Also if your not a meat eater they have a great red pepper / portobello mushroom sandwich that is simply spectacular.

    I wasn't really sure what to expect from Earls. I had read some reviews at other locations that called this a "high priced Hooters". I didn't really get that impression. Four of us went, had drinks on the patio, and eventually ordered dinner. We were never rushed, and they even gave us a free shot (something new they were trying). The prices might be a tad higher than I would have expected, but the food was good, and so was the beer. It was a nice place, but didn't really leave me with a "OMG! WTF? This place is AWESOME" feeling. Just a normal, decent place to eat.

    I did not want to come to Earl's after reading all the reviews about this place, particularly about the Mougars. But listen ladies, stay out of the bar and hang at a comfy table with friends if you don't feel like dealing with oogling creepers. The food and drink specials are worth it. Just remember that you pay the price for classier bar food.

    I usually like Earl's, the downtown location, and met some friends at this location last week for drinks and dinner. To begin, the hostess gave our table away, after we waited 45 minutes, so we had to wait even longer... Next, I ordered the Rosemary-Oregano Pan Bread that is supposed to be served with vinegar and oil, and was not, so when I asked for it I got questioned about what size I ordered...there is no size choice on the menu. The food delivery person said she would bring it anyway, soooooooo what that was all about I still have no clue. Finally, and most importantly, the waitress went crazy with our bill. The total was $58.27, we asked for the bill to be split $18.27, $23, and $17...my friend was charged two transactions on her card, one for $41 and the other for $21.27 ($18.27+$3tip), I was also charged twice $58.27 and $20 ($17+$3 tip), and my other friend was charged correctly $26 ($23+$3tip)...that adds up to $157.54 for a bill that was only $58.27. How did they balance that night? The manager was not helpful and advised me to call the accountant who is there for one hour in the mornings. My advice is to avoid this unorganized, uneducated staff, so-so food restaraunt.

    LOL, just read one review that described this place as an "upscale manplace" and that's exactly what it is! Went to Earl's last night with a girlfriend of mine and we were definitely the minority there by age and sex. Average age, I'd say, was 45-50 and almost all men. Great if you are a single lady but when you are married and just want to catch up with your girlfriends, not the place to go unless you really enjoy being oogled by men wearing wedding rings. We were both able to cut away from work early thinking we MIGHT score a place in the bar. Nope, we arrived around 4:45pm and the place was packed. Our waitress told us the bar is hopping every day by 3pm. So, we sat in the dining area, ordered wine and the dry rub ribs (delish). We were enjoying our conversation when they cranked up the nightclub music. Seriously, we were yelling across the table to be heard. The waitresses are beautiful, which is why it's a manplace. Despite sensing some of them were not comfortable in their very tiny tight dresses, they provided excellent service. If we felt uncomfortable being oogled, they REALLY must feel odd. But I guess that's how you get good tips! The manager was very kind and I liked that he made a point of thanking us for coming in. The new decor is beautiful.

  • Steve U.

    let's face it this is hooters with better clothing (admittedly a subjective assessment) and slightly better food. the food isn't really anything to write home about, the steaks are a solid prep and the beer's good. i'll cut right to heart of the matter. this place is a hit with the locals and visiting business regulars for the nubile young wait staff. this enables a lot to slide in terms of service and food quality. that's not to say that there aren't redeeming characteristics about the place. but if you want to have your female coworkers or wife respect you, you're probably best downplaying any fascination / preference that you have with earl's.

    Wow - seen Earl's for years and went there tonight because PF Changs' wait was over an hour AND NEVER AGAIN - first we're "greeted" by about 5 young girl's all dressed in little black dresses that where shorter than short. Then we were seated and the restaurant itself was nice but that was the end of the good. Basically - all wait staff were these girls and it was very uncomfortable. Then the food - I chose the Halibut and Chips and Steve the Curry Chicken. My halibut was good enough but $23!!! for two pieces of fish some coleslaw which was only ok and Fries that were like the bottom of the barrel in their fry bin. Then well my Husband really hated the curry Chicken and sent it back. Not necessarily because it was bad - he just really didn't like it. Then he got the Fish Tacos and said they were only ok - hardly any fish. Also he asked for the greens salad and got a Cesar Salad instead. And then there was my diet coke - refilled only once for $3.00 - NOT OK. Please that was not even one can of pop which costs .25 a can. I just don't think our waitress cared much and bottom line - this was VERY OVER PRICED AND ONLY OK. We will never go there again and highly recommend that no one else does either.

    used to love the food there - went to the Park Meadows for a birthday dinner and not only was the server terrible, but I'm pretty sure my steak had either been pre-cooked and then re-heated, or sat under the warming light for faaaaaaaaaar too long. It was a charred, dry tenderloin, extremely disappointing. The server was even worse - my girlfriend has a dairy allergy, and when she told our waitress she responded "oh that's what you tell people at restaurants to get things done" - no, that's what she tells people at restaurants to avoid HAVING AN ALLERGIC REACTION AND GETTING VIOLENTLY ILL. She later was refilling my water and in an attempt to make small talk said "oh I'm good" when she was able to fill my glass without spilling - I didn't know what to say so she goes on "oh not even going to respond to that huh" - which made me laugh, but only because I was icredulous at how big of a bitch she was. She didn't believe my military ID was legit, which by itself wouldn't be such a big deal since i understand they've gotten in trouble for serving minors, but given that I'm well over 30 with lots of gray, and considering the rest of the night, just added on. Definitely not going back there - I burn steaks all the time and mine taste better than what I got (didn't see any of the "hotties" everyone else is talking about either). Would recommend Del Friscos, Chop House, Morton's, Ruth's Chris if you're looking for better steaks - just about any restaurant at Park Meadows would be an imporvement if you're just looking for better food in general.

    Earl's has pretty good food. I just couldn't get over the fact that I was eating in an 'upscale Hooter's. The steaks are great and the spinach dip was fantastic. The bar scene is definitely for singles. I probably won't go back, but the food was good.

  • Sarah R.

    Went in for lunch this week and really liked it. I had been here before for drinks, but never eaten. The first time, I couldn't get over the waitresses outfits (or lack there of) and someone told me this was considered a classier hooters. I never thought much to return since I'm not into women, but went back for a work lunch and thought it was delicious. The ladies who greeted us as we entered, were very friendly and nice. Our server was just the same. I had the chicken, brie and fig sandwich on ciabatta and it was sooo good! I've had similar sandwiches at other places (I love chicke, brie and fig), but have never had one that was this good! I could taste each item on the sandwich and nothing was overwhelming. Everyone else at the table enjoyed their meals as well. I was so quick to judge this place on my first visit that I overlooked the possibility to come back, but I won't do that again. The menu is diverse and has something for everyone, topped with great service!

    Interesting spot, located out by the tech center a nice spot to meet for drinks and a bite. Of course Hertz Never (always) Lost screwed me and took me to a lumber yard instead over anything looking like a restaurant. Luckily I am neurotic and left way too early and was able to make it on time. Cool bar scene, gorgeous waitstaff, and a weird mix of 20somethings, suburban-need-to-remarry-30/40somethings, and guys a little too old to be trying to talk to that girl at the bar. Dinner was pretty good, I went with the cedar plank salmon, with coconut jasmine rice (different and very good), and vegis. Presentation was very plain. I got the impression that this would be a better lunch spot, and better for drinks in the evening than full on dinner.
