Full disclosure: I love bbq. Bbq is an art and not everyone is an artist.
Sadly, this is the case with Earlscourt.
The ambiance is "cafeteria" with a hint of "basement" .. the flame walls are overdone (much like the brisket)... the tv playing a loop of a fire is cheesy. The plain white 100 watt light bulbs are too basement feeling.
The food should be awesome considering the hype from blog TO, Not the case, despite the other Yelp reviews we decided to give the platter a shot. Wow what a complete disaster!!!
Terribly dry brisket (even for "Alberta triple A")
Ribs as you can see by the picture are over coated in some spice rub which is excessively on everything!
