Stopped in there for dinner recently. Although the staff were busy as they had been slammed at an unusual time, they were friendly and worked to support each other. I had the santa Fe chicken salad with dressing on the side and it was delicious. The person I was with had the half rack of ribs and though it was delicious as well. Good atmosphere and clean.
One thing to note that I was not aware of, Earls prices are different depending on location. The NW location was cheaper. Tin Palace in the Mission area has higher prices for quite a few of their items than the one on 16thave NW as well as any other non downtown locations I suspect. For example, a steak at the 16ave location is only 24$ for the 7 oz , vs. the tin palace location which is 27$. Same with some of their happy hour prices on drinks.
