I enjoyed my meal and the service was really good. My only criticism was that it was really loud. We had a large party behind us and they were so rambunctious that the manager actually came up to speak to them. They were a bit less noisy after that but they made it hard for us to enjoy our meal. Still, I would recommend the restaurant. Glad I decided to check it out.

Earls is always one of my favorite spots to go for lunch. You have to order the truffle fries to start, they are perfectly crispy and the grated Parmesan cheese on top as a nice touch. My go to dish is always one of their taco options paired with the sparkling raspberry lemonade. If you go I would recommend requesting Adam as your server, he is one of the best!
