Reviews of Earls Kitchen + Bar (Gardener)

Great spot to eat and better than most all restaurants in the Calgary Airport.

David St. John

Earls has great food, inventive cocktails and speedy service.

Cory Perry

The servers were lost, handing couple of people wrong meals; mind you our main server was just as lost. After I had finished my steak he brought the side mushrooms I requested 15-20 minutes later.I will have to return again, with an open heart and mind. Here's to hoping this was an isolated incident and the kitchen must have had a busy bad day.

Okay 0lace to eat before flying off

Fuzail Ghori

Always have a great experience at this location but our server today Kelsey H (1360) was exceptionally awesome, best service of our entire trip. She was quick to take our orders, offered a great option for an up sell to my coworker and promptly noticed when we wanted our bills and took care of it. Great job Kelsey. Thank you!!!

Cornelis vogel

Good dry ribs. Good beer. Nothing to complain about out here.

Jillian Brook

Fast service in the airport, friendly staff good food

Craig Chambers

Service and the food is awesome

Mr. Schmidt

Eugenie is the kindest women and made my meal more enjoyable. I am coming down with a cold and she suggested the remedy juice and even brought me warm water with lemon and honey. The food was delicious as always but her kindness towards me and a man behind me traveling to a funeral made it even better. Hire more women like her ❤️

Subpar food that's overpriced

Try the seasonal pumpkin pie! Done with a gingerbread crust.

Ali Syed

The service is very good but as with all airport "trap" bars, they are way overpriced.

Decent food

Leon Leroux

Nashville burger is unreal. Too good!

Will Brennan

Over price busy bad menu just pure crap what do they think people coming off of shift want to eat. This place is a turd only place to get booz is how they stay a float

Sarah Hammond

Earls stay open past closing to look after anybody late flights, Katie will take care of you.

Marina Brestska

Nice place to sit and have a beverage before your flight.... The pokestop/ingress portal doesn't hurt either

Off the claim

Excellent and quick service

Margreat Idi

Hit and miss with food quality. I've had some good meals here and some awful ones. Roll the dice.

Carpet Guru

Airport Earl's is one of Fort Mac's best restaurants......great service, good food!

Chad Bryden

great quality

Evelyn Vancoughnett

The atomsphere was nice and the staff were pleasant. It was my first time eating here and I waited quite some time before my meal arrived and to my surprise is wasn't what I ordered. I had to wait quite a while before my correct dish came and again to my surprise, it wasn't the level of perfection I would expect from Earl's. My chicken sandwich was definitely lacking on the chicken and I was missing about 1/4 of the bottom half of the bread. I didn't want to complain (ever see the movie, Waiting?). Oh well, I still ate it and tipped generously; although, I don't know if I would come back again.

David Hoffmann

Great place to grab a beverage and an appy, especially if your flights are leaving at the nearby gates. The Nacho's are pretty filling for just one person, probably best when shared.

Blair Coughlin

James Jensen

How can such a well established restaurant chain such has Earl's not plan ahead and run out of coffee for breakfast time.

Jalene Cartwright

I took one of the breakfast which was good. The server asked what do you put in your coffee. I asked if I could get a juice instead and when I received the bill, she charged an extra $4.50 for that juice. The server twist it, so it seemed to be included, but it was not, and they overpriced that juice to make more money.

Craig Nicol

Great happy hour, good food

Johnny Dulku

Great food and great service! I only had short time before boarding and it was busy. Fortunately, I got my order in and my food arrived promptly with time to spare! Without me pushing for quick service, will visit again!

Anji Keegan

Just bought a water travelling through the airport.

Eric Wick

Flight was delayed and had almost 3 hours to kill. Sat at the bar and was delighted by the friendly and fast service from Katie and Jessica. The steak was cooked perfectly medium rare. The service is 2nd to none.

Allan Williamson

Brianna goes the extra mile, great service :)

Barbara McAuley

Moscow Mule was very good

Andy Smith

Really good food, service and atmosphere! Ordered the soup and salad which was really good!

Cameron Johnston

I had Kelsey and Maria this morning both excellent to help with me needs, highly recommend both girls as they are bubbly cheerful and great to be around

Brittney Lalonde

Don't carry any fish.

Daren DiFonzo

Typical Earls. Big chain with decent selection and food. Always consistent. Nice atmosphere. Amazing customer service from the bartender Kelsey! Made my wait for the plane a lot better. All the stress from work and long hours i totally forgot about when i spent some time there before my flight. Keep promoting that customer service and hiring people like Kelsey. I look forward to flying out again and having another great customer experience at the bar.

Kristen McKenna

Food is good, service was friendly and quick. Great option while waiting for flight.

Only place in town that forces you to tip for shifty service

Glenn Woloszyn

Not the speedsters you would think for a busy airport location. The food is good just the service

Alan Duffy

My sandwich was burnt and food was very very salty.

Jonathan Lacombe

No matter what city I'm in.... Saskatoon, Edmonton, Calgary, etc. I always get great service and amazing food. I will forever be a customer as long as this stays true.

Pardeep Bains

Great food and service

Dylan Hennessey

Food and service average for an Earls

Kathleen Quayle-Thomson

It's really the only place to go and the problem is they know it. I ordered the quinoa and avocado salad. When I received it I noticed that there was no avocado I mentioned it to the waitress, who took away the dish and brought it back and said we are out of avocado. I was a little shocked that when the kitchen staff realized this they did not give me the option to chose something else or have it anyway. What was more shocking was when she said since we maid we are going to have to charge you full price. I somehow feel like I should have been able to chose something else or at least receive a small credit for the no avocado. As I said it is really the only place to go in the airport and they know it. Not likely to change much

Jason Smith

Terrible service as per usual

J.V. Arbeau

Always out of something

Murray Lobb

gojo

Foid was good but service was slow and the waitress kept forgetting what I ordered.

Mandy White

Absolutely the worst food I have ever tasted and re-tasted for hours afterwards!!! I think you actually have to make a concerted effort to produce that crap I was served. NEVER AGAIN!!!

Georgia Brickwood

Great staff great drinks

Mike Place

Slowest service ever. Hire more staff. You have one server serving a full restaurant, literally. Maybe if management had any business sense at all they would know how to schedule if anything. Sat in table for about 30 minutes with no service. Update: most disgusting breakfast sandwich ever.

Blaine Bradley (Bradley Financial)

Always a good, reliable place for consistent food and beverages... Just happy to be flying HOME!!!

Stacey Silva

The one good thing was that the beer was really cold. That was nice. It also gains a star for the garlic fries. Those pair so nicely with the beer. There remain a few issues here. The service isn’t overly happy to be there. This is not my first time here - the staff don’t appear happy, at all. At each visit the vibe I get from the service is that it’s a drag for them to be there. The food is pre-packed off a truck frozen and just reheat. Face it - this is a chain and for consistency almost everything is pre made. The apples are all deep fried variants of the same product, only with a different sauce. The tacos I ordered were ok. Chicken was tender. The avocado was funny - just one chunk. Like a giant wedge of avocado, in a taco. I Googled it and that’s actually the way it’s meant to be presented. Pretty funny to see that so I decided to slice mine in half. Check out most of my reviews - I don’t often stop in at chain restaurants because they aren’t my thing. They’re quality and freshness don’t impress. Lots of deep fried nonsense and sauces out of a bag. They did an ok job but overall lots of work still to be done.

Vance Butt

Great place to grab a drink and good food after your hitch. The staff is awesome!

Michael Bothe

The waitress was clueless and the food was no where nearly close to what it should have looked like at other Earl's locations.

Kai Akizuki

Great good, great service!

kimlyn stanyon

I fly out of Ft Mac every 20 days and I always start mondays off with a ceasar from here!

shaun cormier

The Earl's Fort McMurray International Airport is the 3rd Earl's that I've been through this year. The 100 Avenue corner 178 St, Edmonton gave me and my mom so so bad service . The server at the said airport didn't even say thank you when I gave a 16% tip. Are you guys just after the tip? How much tip do you want 50% ? That's too much!

duane piercey

Good food including poutine, sandwiches and draft beer.

Claude Radolla

best staff omg

Marissa Ashford

i got the chicken strips and i really like them and believe me ive ate my share of chicken strips/tenders. Service was rather quick and she was pretty too.

John Farrell

Had the cheddar burger with bacon and side of the garlic fries. The meal tasted great when washed down with a Alexander Keith's beer that was just the perfect Temp. Only complaint is that it's still a burger and beer and it's pretty insane to pay 33.00.

Nightsofneep

Great staff, excellent food

S C

Food is excellent and quick. Seated and paid within a half hour. The one weird thing is not seeing a Please Seat Yourself sign (I stood politely for a couple of minutes before I asked).

chris Holbrook

Decent food

Sam Majid

Good food & service, I'll be back...????

Irfan Siddiqui

It's a great location to grab dinner - after security to avoid any concerns. Prices are a bit higher than non airport locations, but I (most of us) don't expect to save money on purchases at the airport.

mario coallier

Good food ok prices

Mahdi Miganeh

Too loud and service is too slow

Kelly Dickinson

Cajun Chicken and Ribs. Do I need to say anything else? Oh Yeah... Warm Potatoe Salad. Wow! Quiet so the service was amazing. Oh and I washed it down with a Moscow Mule. Perfect!!!

Katelynn Hillier

Waited 30mns for a waitress to even say good morning. 3 waitresses walked by making eye contact several times. Left because my plane was boarding.

Owen Russell

Never had an issue with service or the food here. But the breakfast menu could use some work. No selection, and $13 for a breakfast sandwich is a little ridiculous.

Paul MacDonald

Great service!! Quick and polite!!

Ecotrue LLC

Just ordered a breakfast sandwich here the first one was stone cold ham right out of the fridge and english muffin not tosted and soggy on one side. The brought me a second one and it was the same how can u screw up a breakfast Sandwich. They can and then charged full price this place sucks

DENES Vandor

The Dynamite roll was good . Just the crispy shrimp in it just did not belong there . Rice rolls should not be crispy

Travis Fischer

I have been a fan of the food and service at Earls. I miss the California Shrimp and Pesto pizza. Some locations in Calgary aren’t as good as Vancouver which is unfortunate.

Terry Babij

Always a treat to have a meal here before a flight. Great food, drinks and service!

D A

Noon on a Monday. 6 people in the place. Bartenderess couldn't care less if tips were based on caring as little as possible. Sat at bar. 3 of them took 3 minutes to greet me. Gave me a beer and a menu then went to the corner of the restaurant to chat. Had to ask 10 minutes later if I could order. Think thr manager was among them. It's an airport. People want to order fast and go. A bartender showed up and acted more like what one would expect. Whatever.

Clint Halleran

Slow not so friendly service, over priced, pints are 3 quarters full. They are relaxed because there is nothing else to go here after security.

Dave Knott

The service was fast but the staff wasn’t attentive I had to ask before I could be serviced. I ordered waffles and it came out fast but it was literally cold and hard to eat.

Theriault Stephane

*****????

Alex Colleaux

Absolutely horrible service by Maddison. I was a server before so I don’t like to complain and empathize on how difficult it can be to work with the general public but I cannot accept this. I’ve taken clients to Earls for many years but am almost debating changing it up. I had to track down the waitress after waiting for 20min to order. When she did come, she apologized and said she was busy - there was 5 people in the restaurant and then she sat down for half the time I was there. I ordered the Steak Frites- she asked me if I was okay with dynamite rolls… really??. When I said it comes with fries she said she didn’t know. I also had to get up and tell her the temp I wanted it because she didn’t ask. On top of that, I wondered why it was so spicy, especially when it comes with garlic confit. There was a $3.00 charge for blackening spice which I did not ask for. When I asked her about it, she said that is how it comes and the $3.00 is the cost for seasoning. I’ve ordered this before and NO, that is not how it comes. If I wanted blackened, maybe (still a stretch) But I didnt, and I don’t think it’s fair to charge an additional 3.00 for something I didn’t want on an already $30 steak. She was very condescending and I had to politely argue with her which goes against everything I stand for doing at a restaurant, this was just incompetent behavior and a lack of common sense. To add to it, there were a few other mistakes that I didn’t even bring up because it wasn’t worth it but I’m regretting not saying something now. Extremely frustrating, I simply told her these things and was met with combative answers, excuses and a complete lack of ownership. That is not what I consider a pleasant dining experience and can expect better service at a 2 star restaurant let alone this one.

Great spot in the airport to grab a meal pre-flight. Good atmosphere, access to wi-fi, and really your only option for sit-down dining on the other side of airport security.

Shawn Hayhurst

The bartender was fanfreakintastic!! Friendly, attentive, made me feel totally comfortable.

Fel DK

Nice place to have a meal while waiting for your connecting flight. Staff is very friendly and professional. The ambient is very nice, good music, free Wi-Fi. I’ve tried the Canadian Prime Sirloin which was delicious but too small in my opinion. The sundae was a good choice as desert. Prices are a little bit overpriced but you have to understand it’s a restaurant inside an airport.

jon dawe

One server for a full restaurant. An estimated wait time of 20 minutes for one drink is unacceptable.

Jess Allen

A terrible place to eat! 28$ burger including 15% tip for a unsatisfactory service and a distracted waiter. I wish I had a restaurent at the airport this way I can serve a pile of poop to my famishing clients and make them pay a premium price! How can you make such a bad burger? For 20 bucks burger don't expect your clients to season it themselves, meat taste like mud, served cold.Please Earls hire competent staff! Or defrost dinner table meal I’m sure it will taste much better! Waste of money and time eating there! Don't go there if you are a foodie

Edward Maidment

Didn't get a chance to order food, server went on break after giving us our drinks, being in an airport, we are limited on time. Not too upset about that though, as the menu seemed over priced anyway. Paid our $8 for 2 soft drinks and left.

Bri Mallat

As far as airport restaurants go this one is pretty decent! Friendly service and decent food. However no Earl’s poké bowl

Bart Whalen

The most horrible food ever. Shame on chef.

Ted Doleman

matthew wood

Stale coffee and too fatty rib eye

Allison S

Guys, no fault of the waitress or kitchen staff that were working today, but you really do need to schedule more staffing on Saturday afternoons! The restaurant was packed and there was only one server + one cook working. My soup was cold, which I don't mind, but I almost missed my flight.

Joseph Johnston

Earls food and service is excellent, compliments to all of the staff ❤️

Summer Johnson

Prices have changed. 1$ for all menu items which is already the highest in the area. Menu is printed in a piece of paper. So I don't see why the prices don't reflect the actual prices upon receiving the actual bill. Will not be back to this location.

Petek Mahgoub

Been going here weekly for about a year and was always solid however the last few months there has always seemed to be a minor issue. First it was not a full menu / out of products. Most recently they have no beverages on tap and apparently the kitchen is closed on Saturday so there is no food available.

Johnathon Perreal

Awesome eats. Great service.

Found the server rude, for some reason didn't give all tables menus. While the table next to me was struggling to understand options. Why not just give the poor guy a menu. She couldn't keep her mask on her face properly

Great service. Breakfast sandwich was fresh and delicious.

Daryll Lowry

This is one place I will miss, sitting waiting for your flight, having a cool Rhino and the full Earl's menu. The strange thing is I remember when it was open really early and very late and that was our normal, you get strange looks other places trying to get a beer at 6 in the morning. The staff were always great, the food was as good as it was in town, and I hope YMM traffic continues to support it as the airport is much better with it.

John Wegner

Quick and friendly service

Ryland Coventry

Like it, wish it would stay open until the last flight started boarding
