| - I have gone here for quite a few times but I've only sporadically started to check into places. I first came to this place when the mall opened. There wasn't too many places to eat. The better half loves sandwiches and I am about half and half. Let's just say I ate a lot of sandwiches for school in my day and it's not something I look forward to eating that often. Man, I remember eating Webber and PBJ more than I care to when I was an undergrad.
So, when the placed opened, we sat outside because it is limited seating inside. Then again, the mall is beautiful and if the weather is nice, it really is nice sitting outside, chatting, munching, and people watching. It also gives me quite an amusement to see the other Chinese restaurant carting their Dim Sum around. That's just me though.
Anyway, the owner met us inside and explained to me their sandwiches. Nice guy. I believe his name was Ray? It's been a while, sorry "Ray" if that's not your name. Anyway, we got our sandwiches relatively quickly, maybe 5 min? It wasn't very busy or anything. As we headed outside, Ray came and wiped down the table we were sitting some more. So we chatted a bit too. Turns out he worked for the owner who owned the chain. Since he liked him, he let him open one at Downtown Summerlin. I always like seeing hard working guys get ahead. But you didn't come to a session of Dr Phil. Or that idiot with the megaphone that masquerades as a carpenter (yes, I saw him when he was a pip squeak working in Trading Places with Paige. TLC was smart enough not to give him a megaphone BTW...but I digress). He of "I'll build you a house because you are needy but before I block it with my big bus, Imma gonna make you cry like you've never cried before, before I let you have the keys" fame...Tye Pennington. I thought it was the last I'd see that guy after ABC came to their senses and canned him but he's squirmed into Food Network. Now he's gone after poor going under restaurants and making them ball their eyes out before giving them a pretty lame makeover (Restaurant Impossible still has the upper hand in design bub) and making the owners pretend shock and surprise before handing over the keys. I sure Earl's doesn't fall into that sad state...not of bankruptcy but letting that buffoon into their place. Heh.
So the sandwich...I got the Full Montague turkey and roast beef. I was pleasantly surprised at how best the sandwich was made and folded in its paper/foil wrapper. The bread had a nice crust to it but not so crusty that it serrates your cheeks when you bite into it (that's one of the reasons I don't care for sandwiches that often, many ppl over toast those buns like we are going to use them as weapons in a Viking food fight or something). The meat is tasty and lean.
So all in all, a pretty good place to get a sandwich if you are moseying around the mall but can't think of what to eat. It's certainly healthier than grabbing a burger. Quite frankly, tastier too. Anyway, I think you will find his place chill and great place to stop by and take a load off your feet. We came here for Halloween too and watched all the costumes waltz by along with the car show they had at the same time. So, yeah, we occasionally come grab a bite here or at Pieology.
As an added bonus, some guy may be singing in the plaza in front of Earls and you get to hear some live music too. Yeah it's nothing fancy and you won't get crappy service like Kona Grill. There's no hostesses ignoring you and busy holding up walls around here either. No one cares what you are dressed in. So if you are into that kind of thing, this may be too Plebeian for you. :)
