Earls Kitchen + Bar - Banff, Alberta

We were a part of a very large group. Food presentation was above average but not premium. The limited menu our group was offered was not delivered correctly and the steaks were more rare than medium, as described. It is great that all was offered to be made right. However, ... my five-star food rating requires that everything is done right the first time. The restaurant atmosphere is quite loud, even before all the guests were seated. Definitely a bar feeling atmosphere rather than a relaxing dinner restaurant. The food was very tastey. Read more

Returning to Earls after being away for years. Food quality has stayed the same noodles were a bit undercooked. Drinks were excellent especially old fashioned which my son ordered.

Ron, the owner, and the Vojtech, who was the host serving the dishes to us, are amazing people. We also met Ron's daughter, such nice and welcoming people. Food is the top notch!! It was our daughter's birthday, and we received a complimentary birthday cake from Vojtech. Please do visit Earls Banff ... location as these people are really great people, and we should respect and help support them for the great work they are providing to the community. Thank you again, Ron and Vojtech, for your great hospitality.Will visit every time we come to that side. Read more

HAPPY HOUR 3-6PM EVERY DAY. That is the time you should come. Really great shareable plates for cheap(er). Highly recommend the chicken lettuce wraps (comes with 5) and West Coast Pizza (shrimp), $14 each. The food is good! A tiny bit on the bland side, but it feeds well and ... is a great place for a group of friends. The crab cake is good but not worth $21. The fried ribs were good too, but a little bland and honestly would be better if they weren’t deep fried. Don’t recommend the sushi taco because it’s not really worth $4. Service was super good!

Our experience at the restaurant had its ups and downs. Initially, the waiter assigned to our table was incredibly helpful in suggesting a dairy-free pizza and was very pleasant. However, our positive impression took a hit when a large bridal shower was seated in the middle of the room, right ... next to us. Regrettably, our waiter seemed to completely forget about us once the bridal party arrived. We sat there for a seemingly endless 37 minutes with no communication, running out of water, and the desire to settle the bill and leave. Despite the disruptive noise from the bridal party, we understood that he was busy with them, but we just wished for a simple acknowledgment that he would attend to us shortly. To make matters more frustrating, the waiter was even standing close to our table at one point when I politely tried to get his attention, but he continued to ignore us. Being ignored is one of my biggest pet peeves, and it was a major letdown. In the end, I had to approach another waitress to request another waiter's assistance because we had been waiting with no sign of service. Finally, our original waiter returned, brought us the bill, but forgot the box that I had requested earlier. Despite the disappointment, we still left a tip, although it was significantly less than what we might have given if not for feeling ignored. In the end, we chose not to take our food home and left the restaurant. Read more
