earls kitchen + bar

this is our third visit to the location and all have been not so pleasant.

we were looking forward to a nice meal with a bottle of wine and assumed we could count on earls.

they seated us and forgot us! others that came in after us were being served.... finally after looking at different servers like we were puzzled someone came over. (the server said that they had no one assigned to this section and they didn't know what was going on but now we have her to ourselves so it's all good.

we order drinks and appies. my husband tries a taste of a beer, i asked about a bottle of wine and she says sure she comes back with the sample of beer and a wine glass and said they are working on the wine. my husband gets his pint and i wait, then he orders a ceasar and i'm still waiting. i asked i still have wine coming right she says yeah they are still waiting on the wine. our appies arrived and i still have no wine until half way through our appies and she brings out a huge jug of wine. i question it as i want to bring some back to our hotel room after dinner and said i ordered a bottle of wine not a jug. she said i will go talk to the manager. so i still don't have a drink. when she returns i had no clue what her options were she was offering us. she says to us the manager says sorry and how much wine will you be drinking. we say no idea depends on the meal and how much we fancy drinking. she goes away then returns and says the manager says to drink what you want and we will just charge you for a 9 oz. so we just kept this huge jug of wine (getting warm in the table) and i had one glass. after the meal my husband says to me you have only drank like 6 oz and you will be charged for 9oz so he has a small glass. saga on the wine continues at the end.

we weren't finished our appies when our main course arrived which was "cold" upon arrival. she removed our side plates and said she would bring us clean napkins and well they never came and i waited and finally went walking around looking for her as we had waited 10 minutes since dinner had arrived. i almost had to walk into the kitchen area to get to talk to her and asked for pepper and napkins only to find her busy dusting out a side board cabinet. i walked all the way back to the table and soon after pepper and napkins arrived. my dinner was now really cold. server didn't ask how our appies were or how our main course was. both were cold cold cold.

the floor was dirty in the restaurant and it was not busy at all.

the planters outside the window look terrible and are just full of weeds they should look beautiful in spring.

we ask for the bill and it's $77. all the food was charged and the wine we were charged $11 for a 9oz. i said to the server it's happy hour the wine should be half price. she said well we measured the wine left in the jug and figured you drank 11oz not 9oz. i said your joking me how can we measure exactly 9oz you said we would just be charged. for a 9oz and to drink what we wanted. she said i know the manager confused me but i have to charge you the $11 non happy hour price. what ??? it was happy hour why would we not pay happy hour price. she said she had no clue what was with the bill. i said look i will just pay it all then take it up with head office.

we live in chilliwack and theearlsthere is always 100%. we have been to yale town a few times and it's always been great.....

thanksearlswhistler for a terrible experience, awful cold food, thanks for then overcharging us and for a ruined evening.

boring food and ridiculous waitress. brought my parents-in-law and my wife for dinner. our waitress had her tits hanging out so far that i was in constant fear she would have a spontaneous wardrobe malfunction (she must have been as well). on top of that she had the most ridiculous spray-on tan i've ever seen. at first, i thought she had a horrendous sunburn. it was my wife who informed me that it was a spray-on. i spent the rest of the evening concentrating on not looking at her oddities in the presence of my wife and conservative parents-in-law. i resorted to totally focusing on my food which was utterly boring, the whole restaurant felt rushed, the prices did not reflect the quality in any shape or form (no pun intended). all in all a night-out to forget, but one i never will be able to. i will never go to anearlsagain.

even in summer, whistler reminded me of a swiss ski resort, andearlsperfectly fits into the imagery with its exposed wooden beams and high ceilings. we were greeted by friendly faces, and service remained ever so good-natured throughout. while we enjoyed the food, there was nothing especially memorable about them. if you're after a quick bite or a filling meal, then you won't go wrong here. the complimentary mini doughnut balls were a nice treat and a good way to whet our appetite before our meal.

this place is magical!

the only fair way to describe the wings, ribs and steak atearlsis with this simple emoji: 🤤

additionally, the best service i've experienced in whistler!

until next time earl.

if you've been to anearlsbefore, than you know what to expect. this one just happens to be in whistler village. thisearlsdoesnt have the space for the brick pizza oven, so they dont serve pizza, which is a shame, because i like thier pizza. the service was pretty standard. it was quiet, so i didnt have to wait to long for my food. the server was friendly enough and the beer of course was cold. i cannot recommend trying the dynomite roll at this location. in fact, for the love of all that is holy, dont try the dynomite roll at this location. im guessing they pre make batches of these and store them in a freezer. if you're the rare sort that has a fondness of pre-packaged gas station sushi, than thisearlsdynomite roll is for you. it must take 15 minutes to thaw out, as thats how long it took to get to my table, and i was still ice cold. im sure it would have tasted wonderful had it been served to me on the day it was made. the jeera chicken curry however was wonderful, though the pints of blue buck pale ale didnt hurt. top everything off with a nice atmosphere and good location and a friendly hostess means i can forgive you earls. just dont do it again

i have frequented otherearlsrestaurants many times and typically order the santa fe chicken salad. it has been consistent in portion size and ingredients everywhere else but the whistler location (which has also been the case with numerous friends and their chosen menu items). i've ordered it 3 times in two years in whistler and it's now obvious that it is intentionally smaller and with less of the pricier ingredients (avocado, chicken & feta). they even forgot to add the avocado last time and when i informed the waitress she returned about 15 minutes later with one sliver of avocado! needless to say i now only dine atearlswhen not in whistler!

awesome ribs. we had a hankering for ribs. after a little research we noted thatearlsconsistently had good reviews for their ribs where others were hit and miss. the reviews were spot on! atmosphere was warm and inviting, the service staff were very attentive with fresh corona's in constant supply. when the ribs arrived we were certain we would not be able to eat them all. there were everything we had hoped for, and much more! fall off the bone tender, smokey and sweet. regrettably we did not have enough self control and forced ourselves to eat them all. we will be back very soon!! 8.5/10

earls was located on the second level of a building and was located right inside the village. there are always enough choices atearlsfor everyone to find a dish. i ended up getting the roasted vegetable quesadilla, which i thoroughly enjoyed.

no pizza, but food's good!. came here with the intention of ordering pizza for the kiddies. unfortunately, no pizza or wood-fire oven was to be seen. thisearlsis hopping busy and we were lucky to get in pretty early and get a table. i had the ribs (a huge rack) and it was spicy, sweet and fall-off-the-bone. it was better than the same dish i had at theearlsin vancouver. stomach had chicken tacos and though it doesn't look like too much (2 tacos), he says it was pretty good and a decent portion. kids split the chicken tenders with mashed potatoes. we had a good meal and the food was a bit better than what i had back in the vancouverearlson w. broaway. too bad there wasn't a pizza oven though...
