The best Med Hat has to offer
Med Hat is not known for great restaurants. You pretty well have to rely on the franchises. Well, this is it. It's a pretty standard Earl's, which in the scheme of things in M Hat would make it one of the best. The food here is as good as that in any Earl's in any big city like Calgary or Edmonton, so why WOULDN'T you go here. Earl's standard in M Hat ... super.

Better then average
August 08, 2014Went here with my Grandparents when visiting out of town. They don't like change much or new food choices so we knew going to Earls would be a safe pick. They did everything and the food was what you expect from Earls. The service was somewhat scattered however. Our server didn't mention the kids menu, even though our 4 and... more

Pretty good
August 02, 2014This restaurant has a nice atmosphere, the food is almost always spot on and is very reasonably priced for what you receive on the plate. The server's training certainly needs to be improved and that's my only real complaint.

A good choice for entertaining visitors
June 20, 2014Arguably the most reliable for food quality and service. Have been here several times and always enjoyed an excellent prepared meal--particularly the steaks and ribs. Friendly and well trained staff and servers. Very popular restaurant especially on week-ends, therefore advisable to be there by 5 to avoid waiting in line..

Came here 2 nights, was very pleased
June 15, 2014My hubby and I were in Medicine Hat for 2 days and we ended up eating here both nights. The first night we sat outside on the patio, it was very nice. Loved the layout. Our waitress was very nice, she was really good with our 7 year old. The food was excellent, I had the steak and it was... more

Excellent service
June 13, 2014Had a nice meal here with some good and not so good points. Firstly service was excellent and the burgers we ordered were high quality fresh and tasty. Fries were cold unfortunately. There is a good selection of beers and wine to choose from. The other negative was the desert, a sticky toffee pudding which was a little dry and... more

Great Service
May 25, 2014
Our server turned our lunchtime meal from an above average meal into a great experience. She was very interactive and seemed to know every item on the menu to help our party of 4 decide on what to have

The food was absolutely perfect.
The service was even better !

chain restaurant in a small city
January 02, 2014
Takes itself a little for granted as no competitors near by. Even their sister Joey Tomatoes to enter might get therm to pull up their socks.
food was sort of tossed together, one server nice and professional the other like she was working a biker bar
There are a number of good independent rest. in town, I suggest you explore...

Thank You Earls
November 20, 2013Earl's has been around Medicine Hat for years, but it is only in the past year or so that we have visited this restaurant regularly. I am so impressed with the Service, Food and overall experience. The staff are friendly and attentive to the needs of the customer. Earl's might charge more than your average restaurant, but they do not... more

This is a chain
November 13, 2013We had a reservation for 6:00 and we were led to our table by a very nice hostess at 5:45 as soon as we arrived although we were early our table was set up. The restaurant was very busy for a Wednesday night. Our server was fantastic as well! He was dressed nicely and I felt like he was a... more

Hidden brunch treasure
November 08, 2013The service we received today at earls was outstanding. My husband and I came in for sandwiches and we were surprised to see that earls added a brunch menu. The brunch was incredible, the best we have had in years. We are a couple who have been searching for a great brunch spot for after church and we have finally... more

Excellent Brunch
October 30, 2013Pleasantly surprised by a hearty, nutritionally-balanced vegetarian brunch selection. The meal was excellent and service was very good, but food a bit slow out of the kitchen. It was Sunday and busy. Lots of families at this time, so a more family appropriate atmosphere (e.g. think about the wait staff attire, music and menu) and get a higher rating.

When I think of what I don't like in a restaurant I think of Earls
July 15, 2013When I think of what I don't like in a restaurant I think of Earls. It's too loud, food average and over priced ( I don't really care for the menu either) and the servers are incredibly phoney. The only reason why I ever go is when I am in a group that insists on going there, maybe next time... more

Burgers at Earl's
June 08, 2013
For a Sunday lunch my collegue and I went for beer and hamburgers to Earl's. The restaurant is sort of up-scale modernistic with above-average looking young waitresses. This also implies more or less the uninteresting attitude of the waitresses that is reported in other reviews.
The burgers were of good quality and well prepared. But the price you need to...

The person we spoke to earlier said at that time of evening they would have no problem accommodating us. When we arrived we were told..no way ..we are to booked up. At that time there were very few people in the restaurant and... more

What on earth happened here
October 27, 2012
I am a big fan of this chain and with frequent business and pleasure trips to Calgary we never miss a couple dinners at Earls down town.
Last week 11 of us went here in the Hat and the place was 3/4 empty and it took forever to get our food and several of us had the Hunan Kung Pow....

Lack of Customer Service
October 18, 2012I went for a friend's birthday. There was about 8 of us in the group. We asked how long the wait would be for a table and were told about 15 minutes. We put a name on the list and went to stand outside for a few minutes. We were outside for about 5 minutes and went back in as... more

Always awesome
July 14, 2012My go to place for legendary burgers!! When I lived in the Hat, this was my al-time favourite burger place. Service is poor as every single take out order I placed was always wrong, but sometimes they made it right by giving a free one because of their mistake. All said and done, still my favourite!

Interior & Customer Service Levels both need some work
July 08, 2012The last two experiences at this location have been less than expected. We had not been to the restaurant in about six months based on the last experience, but received a gift card as a thank you....so we went again. The results were about the same.....unfortunately the staff is more interested in visiting amongst themselves rather than looking after the... more

Was alright, great meatball sliders
April 30, 2012Went to Earls with family. This is a nicely decorated restaurant but very loud, do not go if you want to have good conversation as it is too loud. The wait staff was good and attentive, drinks were tended to well. We had the meatball sliders as an appy and they were excellent, wish I had that as a meal.... more

From a medicine hatter
March 22, 2012Earls offers both casual & upscale dining. Food is good, menu is varied & service friendly. Sit in the dining room or at the bar. Earls is always busy which is always a good sign for a restaurant.

Worst ever, in all categories
February 10, 2012Bad food, bad, pretentious service makes for a long and uncomfortable meal. The waitress treated me like "this would be a great job if it wasn't for the customers" sort of way. Took forever to get my main course, which was cold. Then I ordered the featured desert which was burnt! Yes black, crusty bottom to the cake. I complained... more

October 12, 2011Enjoyed the food - everyone ordered something different....did not disappoint! Only thing we didn't like was sitting at those high round tables....seven of us crammed around 2 tables left 2 people eating on very little table space!
