This sandwich was absolutely amazing!!!! And so was the Au Jus :) The atmosphere is cool, has TVs to watch sports, has pool tables and also has a stage for live music.

This is a tough review to write on a couple of levels. Better in that Fred's treated us well, but…read morethey missed the mark on a couple of fronts. Be more like a 3.5 from our point of view as the good was the excellent green salad and the light smoke on our half chicken. The bad was the dry chicken, most definitely overcooked by more than a little bit. The pierogi's were stuffed with potato, and dry to the point that they were almost like little tanks. You had to use a knife to cut them in half, and the accompanying onions might have been better left in the kitchen. The decor is pool hall dark, which is ok, because that is what it is. The place was pretty full of locals on a Sunday early evening. Our server was quite attentive, but the food came out quite slowly, the mains for sure took longer than they should have. Pricing seemed quite reasonable to us, but where we live eating out has become quite a luxury. Would we go back, maybe, but there are still plenty of places to explore in Grand Prairie prior to doing so.

Honestly I am surprised this place wasn't up earlier, when I have been in GP I wanted to try it!…read moreNow it is very much what you expect inside. Like most of the new social houses that popped up. Kind of a neat ambience. The service was great, fast and friendly. The menu is large with some neat options like the rainbow trout I had. Drink menu also great. My plate looked amazing. However it was bland tbh. It was good and looked great but I did find not the most flavourful. I would for sure go back and try something else though. Overall a great place

So if you want to have a good time...with a designated driver...don't go here. We weren't loud, we…read morewere respectful, we tipped extremely well and decided to stay for another round after dessert...table of 4. Nope. Cut off. Probably cause the lazy sack of crap waitress we just tipped 100$ wasn't willing to pass on the request to someone else. Well ok then. You do you. Honestly, I've been here before, with only one other person, drank 3 bottles of wine and was never questioned as to how we would get home or cut off. Pretty gross. One star. I'd give zero stars if possible.

Over my last few visits it's become quite apparent, the lounge area staffs are swamped with one too many things so usually you could have a question or need assistance to rectify an issue and have to wait for a long while. This is easily remedied by asking another server for assistance if yours is busy or no where to be found. It's always a pleasure to visit Earls in Grande Prairie, looking forward to many more visits. Happy dining and I hope your experience is better than mine!

Waiter personable. Maybe a tad busy as we had over half meal gone waiting for water refill but then got a lovely bottle of chilled water ( do that at the start and you're golden) The chicken quesadilla was good and Cesar salad crisp and not soaked in dressing - delicious! Bacon cheeseburger delicious with very generous side of roasted potatoes Steak was quite well done ( not asked how we wanted it). Apparently they assume medium but it was well done. Still tasted good!! Tipping-I can't stand that tipping is on post tax amount as it should be on pretax. When I see that I just hit 15% instead of 20%. Overall-would say good place to eat and would go again!
