This was my first ever visit to Earls, and I highly doubt I'll return. The decor was nice, and I can't speak to the drinks, but the food was subpar at best. I ordered the spinach 3 cheese dip appetizer to share with my table and the fish tacos with fries as my main.
The spinach dip was okay, but I've made better at home. The fish tacos were utterly bland and flavourless. There wasn't a spec of salt on fried cod, and some of it was extremely mushy too, like the texture of undercooked frozen fish sticks. The slaw was barely dressed. The generic hot sauce they used wouldn't be out of place at a Taco Bell.
Other guests at my table complained that their food was too salty. Most plates were largely unfinished by the time we left.
Our server was professional and polite, but she also disappeared for 20-30 minutes at a time. To be fair, it was a busy Saturday night and they seemed to be very understaffed.
