Oh Earl, creator of the Sandwich...let me start off by saying, I do enjoy a really good sandwich so thank you for the original idea.
I've heard from multiple friends and family members about the whole "Earl of Sandwich" hype but I never really had it high on my "Must Try Now List" because there are so many other good eats options in Vegas. Don't get me wrong, I'm always down for a yummy sammy but I have many other Go-To food options that I would rather have first before devouring a sandwich.
My girlfriend and I were were knocking back quite a few alcoholic drinks while shopping around at The Miracle Mile Shops (located in Planet Hollywood). So when we finally made our complete round from the shops, we found ourselves feeling a bit hungry from consuming all the drinks we had. We had a couple options to choose from but Earl of Sandwich had the shortest wait line and that alone helped us decide that a sandwich would be for us. Earl of Sandwich is located where the Miracle Mile and Casino entrance meets. They have indoor tables available if you decide to eat your sandwich on the spot.
Customer service is kinda dry. Maybe because they help thousands of semi-buzzed people a day, you would expect a little bit more life but no, the team members here are rather dry.
So you start your journey with placing your order with a team member at the first register. From there you get a vibrating pager and a receipt displaying your order. They don't ring you up just yet, because as you walk through you are able to grab cold pasta salads, chips, drinks and desserts to add to your order. The second register is where you finalize your order and pay. We waited probably about 10 minutes until our sandwich order was ready.
Here is what we ordered:
1. The Original Earl
2. Chicken Chipotle, Bacon and Avocado
3. Mac n' Cheese
The bread made in house, which feels like a soft version of a ciabatta. It's soft enough to bite into without hurting the roof of your mouth. All in all I'm going to rate the sandwiches as one.
I've had better sandwiches, and to be honest these sandwiches are just OKAY, nothing too special. The Mac was pretty good, but again t wasn't the best Mac I've ever had. I think people rave about these sandwiches and say these are amazing because they are "hammered" at the time when they have it and anything will sound amazing once you're at that point because you're already drunk.
Here is my final verdict: I don't think these are the most amazing sandwiches in the world, and I don't think the hype should be where it's at today.
If you're hungry and need food then yes this place is for you, but they are slightly over priced and need more ingredients within the sandwich.
If I'm desperate and need food, then yeah I would eat at Earl's again... But Earl's won't receive a regular visit from me every time I'm in Vegas.
