Reanna was a fantastic server. You better hope you get her for your meal she makes your night better

I noticed that this location is not only beautiful but also have nice looking furniture. This is a definite go to Sunday brunch location. They have limited options but a diverse menu. From American to sushi and Japanese options. The only thing I did not like is the slow service and my waitress didnt serve a single thing which is why i was confused. They have nice looking and tasting non-alcoholic drinks! I ordered a California chicken burger which was HUGE but still managed to finish it. My friend loved their chips and guacamole. But to be honest there fries were so good! I will be back but hopefully their service improves. read more

This is an update to my last review. It has been a while and I made it back to Earl's. I was pleasantly surprised. We had 35 minute wait which was expected due to staffing. This was nota big deal because we shopped while we waited. We were seated in the time estimated and our server was friendly and attentive. All of our food was served timely and was very good. I'm glad I went back again and I will be visiting again when I'm in the area. Earl's is definitely worth checking out. read more

Came here tonight. Place wasn't wasn't too busy at ALL. Was sat down within 10 minutes, and waited for 15 minutes for ANYONE to come over to our table. Place is terrible. We got up and left. Last time I was here (gave it a 2nd chance), got 2 burgers and a couple drinks. Tab was over $100. Never go back. read more

This place has such a lively ambiance that you can relish it, as you eat your food. Even though it was super-busy on a Saturday afternoon, after the initial waiting, we had a hearty lunch. I was in the mood to explore the noodles section so ordered the Chicken Hunan King Pao Noodle Bowl. it had wok-fried vegetables and noodles in ginger soy sauce with peanuts, customized by adding 1-6 Hunan peppers. I thought the peppers would make them spicy but an additional bibimbap sauce did the trick. Sweet in taste at first and spicy later, it definitely took my taste buds for a ride. read more

WOW! I was recommended here by a friend who knows everything about Boston and he suggested that this place is the place to bring someone to somewhere new. I walked in and was instantly greeted by a beautiful door woman along with beautiful hostesses. Not to mention there appearance only, but even their introduction was lovely and friendly. I was given the option of lounge or dinning table, but since it was my first time I was indecisive and they allowed me to freely choose my seating. I ordered this spicy chicken noodle dish that I was fairly warned about. My friend ordered the curry and both were delicious. Pricing is a little expensive but I honestly think that the atmosphere and the interior design was worth it. Definitely a good place to relax and have a few drinks and talk about the world! read more

Excellent! I've been here for dinner many times and have never had a bad experience. There's enough options on the menu that anyone you're with can find something they like and every meal I've had is delicious! Never even ordered the same thing. Service is almost always excellent and the one time it wasn't, they promptly corrected it when I politely asked The drink menu is superb - anything you want, they likely have or can make. But I especially love their $5 monthly specials! It can get a little pricey, but considering the food quality and the location, I'd say it's well wort it. read more

Food is tasty and $5 margaritas on Thursday, but they must mop the floors with a greasy mop, everyone at our table commented on how slippery the floors were. read more

I've been to both locations in the Boston area. People rave about it, but it frankly is shit. Too many menu items at once and aren't good at any of them. The staff is something out of old real world episodes from the early two thousands wearing all black lipstick gossiping instead of earning tips with hard work. Don't go here. Earl sucks. read more

If I were rating ambience alone, Earl's would get a 4 or 4.5 but the food was just okay. My fiancé got the Cabin Fever drink and I had the frozen Peach Bellini. 5 for creativity and flavor! We both loved them (mine tasted like dessert). For dinner I had the Chicken, Brie and Fig sandwich and truffle fries. The sandwich was kind of bland which was unfortunate bc I love all those flavors. Maybe it needs a new sauce or something! I also LOVE truffle fries but feel like these were missing the truffle. They added a bunch of pepper and spices to their traditional fries and I really didn't taste the truffle. 3 of the other people with us got them too and felt the same way. Usually you can't ignore that taste left on your tongue! Maybe they should add some parmesan cheese too... My fiancé had the Cheddar and Bacon burger and said that was tasty. My friend got the Santa Fe salad and she really liked it and her fiancé had the fish tacos which he said were very good too. So maybe just don't get that sandwich I got! We didn't have dessert but they did sound pretty good! Service was pretty good though it took forever to get the bill. read more

I wanted to give it 5 stars but the hostess that seated us looked like she hated her life so much. Her customer service was "decent" because she asked how my night was going but her face and body language made me feel like I would have been better off if she didn't ask. It was a busy night being that it was a Friday which is always a good sign. The wait was 45 mins, not too bad. Really nice ambiance, very loud but it was nice because I didn't have to worry about the table next to us eavesdropping on my conversation. Our server, Junior, was awesome and was truely service with a smile which made the experience that much better. I ordered the chicken, brie and fig sandwich with yam fries and my boyfriend ordered the Royal burger with regular fries. Both were amazing and the burger was cooked perfect. The drinks were also killer. You have to try the bee's knees!! It comes in such a cute glass too! The best part, the check didn't break the bank. Two dinner and 3 drinks came out to about 70. Completely worth it. I will definitely be coming back! read more

Earl's is one of my favorite restaurants in Boston and my go to spot for a girls night out, date night or family dinner. My go to drinks are always the Passionfruit Mojito or Passionfruit Mule, but this time I switched it up per the recommendation of our amazing waitress Sarah and enjoyed the Marilyn Monroe. So refreshing, light & delicious! The hostess Abby was so kind and welcoming and got us seated right away. The Sous Chef Semba recommended the Salt and Pepper Wings and Queso Fundido Dip for us and we were not disappointed. The Warm Spinach & Cheese Dip and Dynamite Rolls are always my go to's for appetizers every time I have gone in the past. For entrees I love the California Chicken Burger or the Quinoa and Avocado Power Bowl. Earls garlic fries are my favorite fries ever! I've indulged in the Smores Chocolate Cheesecake the past 2 times I've gone and it is by far my favorite dessert, even better than the Cheesecake Factory one! Overall I've always had amazing hospitality and cuisine here and I will keep coming back to Earls for all occasions! read more

Food is very good! Service is mediocre at best. You don't really get greeted or taken care of in a timely manner unless you kind of know what you want for the whole meal. I sat at the bar tonight, first time since Covid took over, and bartenders were busy no doubt, but made no effort to interact with bar guests unless they "had" to? They got my order, I got my food exactly how I asked, got the second drink I requested because they did not check on me / offer another round.. it was just alright. Guys, ffs learn to interact with your guests in a personable manner. Anyone can mix drinks and carry a tray. read more

I love Earl's. I've made every excuse to eat here since my first visit, and have never been given an excuse to stop. I love the Dynamite Roll and the Korean BBQ Wings, their clam chowder is great, too, and I've enjoyed everything on their brunch menu. My husband almost always orders the blackened chicken, but whenever we venture off the beaten path, we're impressed none the less with the food. They were super accommodating while I was pregnant with a selection of virgin drinks, plus they have convenient high chairs for little ones, and will whip something up with them in mind (side of broccoli, some mashed potatoes, chicken cut up real small, etc.) I love Earl's! read more

I went to Earls for the first time this past Monday, atmosphere was great, servers and staff were wonderful, but sadly besides the crab cake the food wasn't impressive. We had a crab cake and dip for starters the crab cake was amazing but the dip was just a dip :( The main dishes were Lobster Shrimp Ravioli for me and it was WAY to salty, and the Tai Bowl my foodie friend had well the shrimp was rubbery and the broth which should be one of the stars literally was extremely watered down and peppery. I gave Earls two stars for their staff and atmosphere, our server was so professional and friendly and made us feel welcomed, her and her manager even offered to give us dessert for free, I chose the confetti cake, she came out a few minutes later and informed us they didn't have any. Again she handled it like a champ very professional. I hate to give a bad food review, matter of fact I don't think I ever have. I was really looking forward to this spot, I have heard great things about the food, especially there burgers, but Earl's food left us disappointed, but again staff and our server were wonderful! read more

Wow! I've been to this location last year and it was ok. We got there on a Saturday, without reservation, and seated in 10 minutes (table for 4). The food was spectacular! They have a wide variety of options in their menu, but please make sure to always check their specials (the cocktail was $5!). I had their salmon bowl with jasmine rice (I've finished every single grain of rice in it) and we also had the impossible burger, soup&salad combo and literally the best chocolate cheesecake ever! I ate all the marshmallows in that too! Great for big groups, family friendly and great for cocktails with friends! read more

Earls is pretty cool restaurant with your average assortment of menu items. They don't take reservations on the weekends, so we had to wait an hour & a half this past Saturday. But we went to the side bar in the meantime for drinks (the main bar was way to crowded and I didn't want to reach over people to ask for drinks). I tried the Marilyn Monroe drink. Very sweet but very good. The vanilla skyy vodka + the passion fruit guava were a good combination. The bartenders were very funny and nice--but the wait for a drink was a little longer than I'd hoped, and they ran out of a lot of things at this bar so I wasn't able to try my first choice. We finally got the table and I ordered the Fettuccini Alfredo. It was a little bland, but I think that many Alfredo pastas that I have tried are on the bland side, unless a meat is added. My cousin ordered the truffle fries and the wings appetizer (which I tried). Both were really good and the right amount of salty. I will try this place again later on, but I am hoping that the main menu expands to include more than just burgers, chicken & potatoes, and pasta. I will most likely come back for brunch. read more

Earls is hands down my favorite dinner spot! It gets super busy on Saturday nights so I'd recommend making a reservation if you don't want to wait for a table. My experience last night was so incredible I decided to finally leave a review. Our waitress, Sarah, was SO attentive and kind. We loved her recommendations, especially for the cocktail we ended up getting two rounds of called the Marilyn Monroe! Absolutely delicious. For apps, we shared the Queso Fundido dip and the salt + pepper hot wings. By the time our entrees arrived, we were too full to get through more than half our meals so we got them boxed up. I got the Yucatan chicken tacos and they were amazing, both in the restaurant and as leftovers! As full as we were, there's always room for dessert - we ended up sharing the S'mores cheesecake. It was soo rich and the chef came out to serve it to us which was such a nice touch! As for the vibe/space in general - gorgeous interior decor (like Instagram worthy), awesome music, good vibe overall. In conclusion, Earls is my fave and I'll be coming back soon to try them out for brunch! read more

When you walked in to put you name on the waiting list you get free mimosa & a small muffin while we wait for our tables. It's a Big restaurant, they have comfortable leather seats & gorgeous marble tables! You can see cooks work hard at the back! The service is OK & they don't have color in crayons book to color! My son acts up, must have them provided! Some people do have kids! The food is very good, expensive & I think it's more for adults & good for special occasion! Sodas & juice cost like buy almost a beer from a bar! $4 are you kidding me more expensive than a water! You get what you paid for. read more

We were there around 7 pm on a Monday night and it was lively, about 60% occupancy. As we sat down to talk, we noticed it was very noisy. It was kind of noisy. Did I mention how loud and noisy it was? We looked around and saw no drapery on the marbled looking walls, no drapery on the brick columns, and understood why it was so noisy due to sound reflecting off all the hard surfaces. We could barely hear each other or our server. We felt like we were shouting the whole dinner. A balloon could have popped and it might go unnoticed. So the food was very good. I had the truffle fries and the cheddar burger. We also had a nice salad. The food is decent. But don't come here on a date, you won't be able to hear each other easily. read more

Shannon was AMAZING at her job. She was very professional, outgoing and most all stunning. She was attentive and possessed people's skills.

Very disappointing that with many tables noted as ready for seating, Earls hostess is being selective as to whom they are stating a 90 minute wait. read more

So I mace reservations for my boyfriend's birthday and we order the "Earl Kitchen Wings" which is priced for $17. We received our appetizer and it was SIX wings for $17. We asked the the waiter why was it $17 when it was only six wings and he said it was weight is the reason why it was so much and walked away. He was very rude about it because he didn't say anything and just abruptly walked away and that's when one of the managers came over. She asked why we didn't like the wings and we told her it's only 6 wings we are paying for $17. Absolutely not...we asked them to take it off the hill. The lady manager returned and said she took it off the bill but because of covid they couldn't take it back. Okay fine..my boyfriend ordered fish and chips ($24) and I ordered the 9oz sirloin($31) with the weak ass mashed potatoes and salad. The picture you see below is what was served. It took them 25 mins to give us our entrees. Mind you our waiter gave us attitude and treated us like crap after the complained abt the wings were made. Oh I also asked for steak sauce and that was the sauce i was given for my steak lmao. I asked for more steak sauce because what was given wasn't enough and the amount you see in the silver container is what was give. I don't have have an issue spending money at restaurants, but the fact that this was a birthday dinner and no one wanted to work with with us is completely ruined and is what bothers me the most. Never will I come back. Other places will give you your money's worth for the food that you've ordered. read more

I'm not one to write reviews.. but I'm a writing as a concerned parent. Earls SOMERVILLE is apparently very known for allowing kids to buy drinks underaged and without servers asking for an ID. My 15 year old daughter has been coming home drunk every single time she goes out to "Earls" so I did some digging and multiple parents have had this same issue as well. Therefore I had to go and see if this was true myself because I sadly didn't believe my daughter when she told me was being served so easily, at what I thought was such a reputable restaurant! I attended earls with my daughter the next night around 8pm and your server "Steven" served her a drink with me sitting right across from her. This is completely unacceptable and something needs to be done. Is there no executive oversight at this establishment??? read more

I came here about a month ago. My friend got their classic burger medium well and it was delicious. He asked for jalapeños and aioli on the side and the jalapeños were freshly sliced which I like a lot because I'm not a fan of pickled jalapeños. I ordered the Caesar salad which had kale. A fresh piece of bread, delicious croutons and a Cajun blackened chicken which had a lot of flavor. Typically I'm not that impressed with salads but this one was amazing I'm actually going back tonight just to have it. We ordered the sushi appetizer and that was good nothing crazy. Our waiter was mediocre which is why I took a star off it was a busy weekend which I understand but he seem to disappeared for a really long time in between visits as well it took us a very long time and several requests to get our bill. He had the stance of an Abercrombie and Fitch model but no personality or friendliness when taking our orders. I am going to be generous and give this place 4 stars regardless because it's in the place of a really awesome shopping area and I support assembly row since I live so close by. The ambience and decor inside is nice as well. Hopefully this place improves the attitudes of their wait staff and attentiveness. read more

Oh man. I really wish I could give this place a better review. Let me say that the 2 stars has to do with the dining/food experience. I've been here several times for just drinks and would give this place 5 stars for the bar environment and attentive bartenders. However, the food leaves a lot to be desired. I came here on a Saturday night and was told there was an hour wait for a table. My friends and I decided to have some drinks and apps at the bar while we waited. Nearly TWO hours later we still hadn't been seated. When I asked the hostesses on multiple occasions none of them seemed to have any idea what was going on or how close we were to actually being seated. I had to suggest moving tables together to accommodate my party to the hostess. That level of incompetence at a restaurant on a busy Saturday night is baffling. More recently, I went here with my boyfriend around 11pm on a Friday night. Their kitchen and bar is open until 1:30am, so we put an order in for some food. Both of our dishes came out cold. Not even lukewarm, but cold. I know that going into a restaurant close to the end of the night can mean the food isn't the best but two hot dishes served COLD?! Unacceptable. Don't come here to eat, you'll be disappointed. Stick to drinks at the bar! read more

Sucked tonight ... 4 bartenders and we were there for legit 20 minutes... Didn't even get acknowledged- it was about 10:15 so being busy didn't appear that be the reason... Been coming here on a pretty reg basis and I am not pleased with the service tonight ... In fact i was there last Friday and had Alison as a server and she was amazing !! read more

We ordered food from earls through Uber eats and boy did we regret it. Not only were the portions minuscule, but it came cold and rubbery. Also one of the steaks must have been cooked next to fish, because I can't even eat it because my steak tasted more like fish than it did steak. Now we just spent $80 on a delivered meal we can't eat. read more

Came here for brunch with 6 people, really awesome place with tons of space and really cool ambiance. It was the day after Halloween, so unfortunately they looked like they were understaffed and getting s table and the service was pretty slow. We got a delicious spinach and cheese dip which was amazing and truffle fries which were a little too heavy on the pepper. For entrees, We got the warm kale salad ( my absolute favorite!), the Virginia Benny, the Kung Pao noodle bowl, the Fenway Burger, and the Ribs. All the entrees were delicious. All around great place, will definitely be back! read more

This was my first time trying earls in years. I used to go to the one in back-bay when it first opened, but realized that the food had no flavor and the drinks had barely no alcohol and stopped wasting my money. I went to the one in assembly row and had a pleasant experience. The drinks were made well and had good amount of alcohol while still being sweet. We got a couple of apps; calamari and tacos were fabulous; the spinach dip was not my favorite. It wasn't creamy and it reminded me more a guacamole or pesto consistency. The lobster ravioli was surprisingly tasty and would definitely order in the future. Overall positive experience, I just found some the staff in the restaurant a little unpleasant. The restaurant has a great ambiance overall. I found some of their menu items on the pricier side- and I'm not sure all of the items are necessarily worth it. read more

Very good dinner here. Food was very good. Sri de started out good and then our waitress disappeared.

Came here because we were shopping at the outlets. Had the Fenway Burger. Truly an A+ burger, I loved it. Beer on tap was good, and the atmosphere was nice, but a little loud for my taste. The service was stellar, the hostess took a lot of time talking to me and making sure me and my husband and baby were happy. My only issue was the price; $17 for a burger!? It was a delicious, pretty big burger, but still... I was waiting for the effect of the dessert from the second Matrix movie for that kind of money. But I'll come back, because it was really a good experience. read more

I was at legoland w the littles and googled what was near. I called ahead to make sure they had a kids menu (they offer grilled cheese and quesadillas). I ordered the chimichurri and a "side" of lobster mac and cheese. The mac and cheese is a meal unto itself, I had to get the chimichurri to go. Service was great. Littles ordered grilled cheese and quesadilla, came e cut up apples, grilled cheese came w fries but quesadilla did not. Waitress was kind enough to split the fries before serving on table (per my request) to avoid fights. I didn't hear a peep from my little that ordered quesadilla, so I guess that was fine. The little w the grilled cheese did not care for it. She thinks it was the cheese. Nice location, overall a good experience. I even got sat on a booth w an outlet nicely on top of the table near the lamp, which was lucky bc I needed a charge. Def would come again read more
