| - As a number of other reviewer's have mentioned, one of the great things about Earl's is the variety. You can grab coffee, alcoholic drinks, prepaid meals, hot meals, or just dessert depending on what you want at that time.
With that said, my girlfriend and I stopped in for our first visit today and both ordered hot meals to eat-in. I ordered the number 6, a beet hash with duck confit, two eggs, and cole slaw. My girlfriend chose the korean fried chicken biscuit. Both of these meals were very tasty but had small letdowns that keep me from giving Earl's a 5 star review. The No. 6 was excellent - especially the duck confit. My main complaint is that I feel it lacked a bread/starch component. The cole slaw and runny egg led to a pretty saucy plate and the beets and moist duck confit added to this. I feel like this dish may have been better as a sandwich or tacos instead of a beet hash. Also, be warned - it is spicy. You won't notice it at first, but by the time you finish the dish, you'll be feeling the heat.
My girlfriend's Korean chicken biscuit was tasty but pretty small and lacking a side. The chicken reminded me of a more Korean, milder version of Nashville hot chicken and was really good. The piece of chicken was too small for the biscuit though, and the whole thing wasn't large enough to be all that filling or worth $8-9 without a side.
All in all, the food was solid, and the servers were very friendly. Despite a few small drawbacks, I think we'll be back to at least try some other options.
