Earls - Burnaby

Our group of friends happened to come here for happy hour one night as the wait for another restaurant was too long. We were happy to get seated quickly. Happy hour starts at 10pm and they have a variety of options for food and drinks. Glad to see steak and frites was on the happy hour menu so naturally I ordered that. They also have tacos, pizza, seafood, and more on the menu. Casual atmosphere in the lounge with sports highlights playing on the TVs.

Been coming here since High School, don't know why they have to close this location down. Every time I come to this Earls it's busy. I know the new Earls is opening in Brentwood. Why can't they have both locations? They have three McD in the area why can't they have two Earls. Anyway I'll miss coming to this location not sure how much I'll go to the new Brentwood Earls with they pay parking and busy area.

I've been to this Earls location a few times now and both times were fantastic! Last time I was here, there was a baby shower party. So cute! We were greeted by the host upon arrival, and got seated right away as it wasn't as busy during HH. We ordered clam chowder, salad, and yam fries to share. The salad here wasn't as tasty than the location at Metrotown, unfortunately. But the yam fries, were made quiet fresh. The chowder was warm and tasty. The washrooms are well-maintained, and our servers had always been nice. I'll come back again!

Wed is busy, wing night and steak specials. Food was good. Salmon and the entre salad and two pounds of wings were very good. Service only mediocre as they are swamped. Still left a good tip because of the quality of food, Wed wing specials and the hustle of the servers.

Earls is one of those old boys club franchises that I never got into. The hostesses and servers in revealing tiny black mini skirts that catered only to older male executives that frequent the place. Being Asian male, we are like furnitures to these staffs. Yup. Never could even drag myself here even though I worked in the same building complex/mall 50 steps away for years. Fast forward 8 years later, a friend wants to get together for lunch here of all places. Despite gnashing my teeth, I said oh alright. Lo and behold, the old boys have been canceled. I was greeted by two sized peroxide blond and pink haired well tattooed ladies. Despite their disdain, they tried very hard to muscle up a half smirked hello. My thoughts oh boy this isn't going to be good. Not an asian male in sight. Asian females with their YT dates galore, asian men no. People were looking at me as if I am at the wrong place. Bros, not a place for us. Lol. Surprisingly we had a great male server who was cordial and patient. Food was alright. Fusion east wrecked with west. Nothing to write about. The tuna sushi taco was decent tho. My friend treated me for this bday happy hour. Seeing her wince when the bill arrived, so likely this place might be pricier than expected. Ok. Would I come back? Only if I am dragged back. Kidding. Decent okay. Maybe yes. Maybe no.
