| - This was my first time eating Earl of Sandwich, as I've simply never bothered to try the other locations (i.e. too lazy to travel). From what I've read from negative reviews, this a different concept than the others, with the Summerlin location being more of an "express" restaurant.
We were cheerfully greeted by Rey, the cashier. Noting it was our first time, he described the popular sandwiches. I asked him to describe the tuna melt sandwich, to which he listed the ingredients and concluded with "most people like their tuna cold, but some like it hot." This made me "lol" in my head and think, "but I wanted to know HOW it tasted. Tangy? Creamy? Peppery?" I said I would try the Chipotle Chicken Avocado instead. Husband had the Original 1762. Mac & Cheese on the side.
Before we sat down, Rey kindly wiped and dried the counter. I later watched him observe the sun and rotate some umbrellas to better shade the tables. Good guy, that guy!
I thought the sandwiches were a perfect size. I could have stopped at half, but didn't, and ended up feeling quite full after finishing. Sometimes restaurants confuse chipotle with bbq, but this isn't the case at Earl. The chipotle is a smoky flavor that tastes a little "hot" without the actual spiciness, if that makes sense. Husband enjoyed the horseradish kick and found the meat to be tender, not too fatty, and cooked perfectly. The mac and cheese was a little lackluster and missing that perfect balance of cream/cheese.
