There were a lot of talk about Earl is the hip place to go. All I can say is EPIC FAIL.
1) Service was slow and I mean S-L-O-W, took the waitress a good 9.5 min to just come by and say Hi. Then her next words were 'I will be right back'...5 min later. And it only took 30 min to make me a simple burger...ONLY.
2) The quality of food was horrible. My meat wasn't cooked properly and the bread tasted like it was made 2 days ago. McDonald's have done better on their worst day.
3) They tried to pass off corked wine as a 'new' bottle from a 'brand new' case. When I asked to see the bottle the manager conveniently said they JUST dumped the whole bottle. Now I have managed a restaurant and I know you don't dump the 'new' bottle of wine if it is bad, you go and get your money back from the supplier.
4) I see everyone already bashed on the deafening decibel level, so I won't go there anymore. BUT IT WAS WAY TOO F***ING LOUD IN THERE.
5) My beer glass still had someone else's lip imprint on the it and it reeked of dirty week-old dishwashing water.
So let's summarize - bad service, bad food, bad drinks, bad atmosphere. You are better off saving your money, go on block south to West 50 where the old Dick's were.
ps: 6) WAY over priced for the crap they serve. Shit on a stick tastes better.
