"Serf of Sandwich" is more like it.
There doesn't seem to be any "Earl" like qualities about this place or the food for that matter. The title of Earl is reserved for the aristocratic English nobility, and so it would seem that the sandwiches/products may or would exhibit some kind of high quality.
Yes, it's cheap but it just seems ordinary to me. In fact, my entire dining experience was not very memorable at all. It all seemed like a bad dream and I couldn't wait to wake up so to speak.
LOCATION: Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood Hotel and Casino.
There is one line that forms for the ordering counter. Menus are displayed above the ordering station/kitchen or near the waiting area for the line. Various cold, hot and breakfast sandwiches available. Admittedly, there are a wide variety of choices on their menu. Sides and sodas (self serve) available as well.
After looking over their menu I finally decided on the pastrami reuben. I honestly can't remember the sandwiches my two friends had since no one took pics or seemed satisfied with their food. We all shared sides of chips, and potato and pasta salads.
FOOD:
Just ok really. My sandwich was just alright. Priced at $6.49 I thought it would have been bigger and better (I'm really wishing I took a picture right now). I think the three of us finished most of our food because we were hungry having decided to forgot breakfast that morning. In any case, the food was somewhat acceptable. The sides were just ok as well.
SERVICE:
Not great. And here's a tip: you don't pay for your meal when you order your food. The staff will take your sandwich order at the first counter and provide a pager to indicate when your food is ready. We arrived at 1030am and the line was already building with the lunch crowd. There was only one staff ringing up customer at the pay counter and it seemed that the other staff didn't care or want to help the poor guy out. My friends and I waited what seemed like an eternity to pay for our food.
side NOTE: You can pick up sides, i.e. potato salad and chips, along the counter space between the order and pay stations.
WHY?: Why aren't there more seats or a larger seating area since this place seems to so popular??
BOTTOM LINE: I'm honestly not too sure why this place is so popular. I thought it was alright. There really should be a larger seating area for customers.
