Literally stumbled upon this place while wondering the streets of Vancouver!
This place was a great place to have a casual lunch and drink. The servers were super polite and the food was great.
When we visited we thought that this place would be a great place to have a drink on the weekend nights. Very mellow and chill place to be. Also very spacious, but not in a awkward way. I would totally... more

Can only base this review on the one thing we come here for, and that's the burger. It's just one of the best I've had. When in Vancouver eat the burger at Earl's on Robson. Great spot, great staff and a cool look.

I went with my friends on one of Fridays. I ordered Kung pao noodle. My friends ordered soup and sandwich deal. They substituted fig sandwich to Cajun chicken sandwich which had add couple dollars. Their food came it was BURNED!! A layer of charcoal. After one bite, my friends said I just feel like chewing charcoal. So they mentioned to waitress. But the waitress said "it's Cajun sandwich and... more

This restaurant is spacious, open and I fell in love with the design. It's located on the second floor on the popular Robson "boulevard" and offers a quick getaway from the shopping frenzy.

The staff are welcoming and friendly. The seating is comfortable. The drinks are on point - I had a frozen Bellini that was perfect! The food is delicious - I had the smash burger while my fiancée had the... more

Very impressed. Seriously fantastic food. I had the chicken curry which was spot on. Delicious sauce was just mildly spicy. Yummy rice and naan (which was bordering on being more pita than naan). Tasty peach lemonade. Perfectly understated yam fries with a great garlic dip. Hubby had great ribs and potato salad. Lovely rooftop dining. Those with kids note: NO high chairs. There seems to be a... more

I have been to Earls quite a few times and have been to this location twice recently. In my experience, the service has always been good but it is definitely one of those restaurants that hire staff based on appearance (like Joeys and Cactus Club).
I was disappointed that they took my favourite item off the menu, the Chicken Brie and Fig sandwich, but I did enjoy their Cajun Chicken Cheddar... more

I am generally not a fan of chain restaurants but this Earl's is definitely the place to go if you want a spot on the patio on Robson. It's never full enough and I've never been turned away, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with the food or service.

Loved the food and the service was great. Had a lovely, chatty waitress and someone who appeared to be some type of manager even came by to see how our meal was. The prices are a little high for what you get but the overall experience is good.

To be honest I try and avoid these whole chains in general as I like to think and go to places outside the box. One reason is that it is too load that you can't have a conversation with anybody. 2...the food is hit and miss even though there is nothing innovative on the menu. 3. Unless you're a guy and like looking at pretty things the waitresses are eye candy, however, most are met with... more

Was in Vancouver BC for a conference and had a wonderful late lunch with friends. The wait person, Julian I think his name was, was very good - esp. as there were a few of us that had dietary restrictions, and were having a hard time making up our minds.

We ate at Earl's on Top a couple of weeks ago while I was visiting home and still love that place. The service was great, the patio is lovely and the food was tasty. I had the chicken and brie sandwich with fig jam, YUM. The white wine sangria is a must!!

I am a fan of this particular location. It is sort of hidden since it is located on top of London Drugs on Robson. When compared to Cactus, the menu isn't as great but the location compared to the Cactus on Robson, this is far superior in the sense that it has more room to navigate around with a stroller.

Their food is solid as well depending on what you order. Their fish taco was just meh but... more

Earls is always a great establishment to fall back on. There's something for everyone. It's classy enough that you feel like you are at a "nice" restaurant... but you won't feel out of place if you're just wearing jeans and a tshirt. The service is pleasant and prompt, the decor is always chic, and you never have to wait too long.

This location is great. They have a really nice "patio" area... more

Visiting Vancouver for a little while, just checking out the local restaurants and bars. Earls is pretty decent, had the artichoke (I think) dip and a slightly overdone but serviceable steak. The staff were fantastic, the food was decent. Definitely a return.

A relic on Robson street, there are not to many businesses that can stand the test of time, going on twenty years plus! Their business ethics have always been the highest and still are one of the few restaurants that have a wood burning Pizza oven.

Came here for lunch with some colleagues and tried their cedar plank salmon. The fish was covered in little bits of mango, which was delightful. I thought the brown rice was going to suck (aka bland), but this was not the case at all.

My only complaint was that they really dropped the ball on our orders. We were in a group of 20 or so, and one waitress took care of each "side" (think of a long... more

I've been here on a Saturday night twice, and both times we were able to grab a booth for 4 without a wait! Since it's on the second floor of the building, be careful when walking up the tiny stairs with high heels on (especially when it's rainy)!

The drinks here were pretty yummy, and they had $1.00 off martinis on Saturdays. I recommend the Green with Envy Martini and the Lychee Martini... more

I love the location of this earls, It's right on the main shopping district, so if you get a good table near the window, it's great for people watching. It's a nice restaurant. Modern, trendy with a warm kind of vibe. I've never really had any issues at this location.

When Earls first opened up X number of years ago (a long long time ago) they had the parrot decor, yes literally. Giant parrots all over the place. Times certainly have changed and they have gone considerably upscale, modern & trendy. The menu has changed drastically also.

I was surprised with Earl's after reading other reviews. Not by the food which was great but by the fact we could actually talk. We has a group of 12, service was excellent and they even split the bills.

Salads, steaks and pasta seemed to be what we ordered. Salads were excellent, steaks looked great, pasta looked so-so.

The bill was reasonable, I wish a 3.5 rating was possible.

Being the tourists that we were, we were just wandering around the downtown Vancouver/Robson St area and decided to eat here on a whim. Luckily, it was a very short wait, and they were very accommodating since we wanted to sit outside, near a tv, and by a heatlamp.

My search for a venue at which to enjoy the Canucks playoff game with local fans led me to Earl's. Offering a nicely varied menu with very reasonable prices, Earls has ample bar and table seating with TV's in view from virtually anywhere in the restaurant. My buffalo wings were disappointing. After taking almost 30 minutes to arrive, they were dry and not nearly as spicy as I had hoped. But the... more

A hidden gem at Earls is the clam chowder. It is very good.

Also, if the weather cooperates, make sure to sit on the patio at the BACK of the restaurant.

The staff was also very good.

The place is always packed and I love the food at Earl's. Yah it is kind of generic but my type of generic food. The scene here is also something I admire all the time. You may find a few celebrities here from time to time as my last visit we saw one.

You can make friends with salads. At least with the maple pecan spinach salad that Earl's serves. Plenty of spinach, apple slices give the salad a hint of tartness, creaminess from the goat cheese, sweet dried cherries and bacon. Most importantly, pecan and porcinni mushroom encrusted chicken breast top off the salad.

My normal fare is one of the Earl's sandwiches, but this salad gives me... more

This is one of the better earls to have a drink at. They have a very attractive interior and hot wait staff which is pretty much the trademark of earls. Its located right in the middle of robson streets shopping district so therefore its pretty relaxed. They also have a good patio which is good to sit on a nice day

I went there for lunch with a former colleague. Neither of us has been there for over 10 years so we thought we'd check it out for old time's sake.

Food was good. My halibut in my fish & ships was light and juicy although I was hoping for the real deal - heavy batter with dripping grease. Although it was good, I'm not sure if I would order it again for almost $18, at Earls, for fish & chips.

First of all, Earls beats the Keg and Moxie's and this particular Earls is my fave as it's sort of out of sight = tables always available. It's located above London Drugs and you'd miss it if you didn't know where to look for the staircase.

Kudos to the Caesar's salad as they use garlic. Ditto the mashed potatoes. I have not had a bad meal here ever.

Wait staff is terrific, too.

This Earl's is upstairs and is a convenient stop while browsing around on Robson. I've been here twice, once on a romantic weekend with the ex-wife and another time on business. As is usual with my various Earl's experiences, the dining area is comfortable, the service is friendly and efficient, the food choices are to my liking, and the wine pairings are well considered.

Delicious, well-priced and fun drinks. I'm definately a fan of the Lemon Meringue! The Gum Drop and Cheap Date shooters are both worth trying as well. Very sweet and melt in your mouth. Earl's is a nice place to hang out before going out. Great atmosphere, but definately a crowd of late 20's, mid 30's. I've never tried the food, but will be back soon.
