Earl's Restaurant & Bar

Such a neat place! I’ve been here a couple of times for drinks and live music, and it was packed! However, this time, I went for dinner on a Wednesday night for at 6:30, and the vibe wasn’t quite the same. The food was delicious, but it was dead. I guess that’s to be expected for a week night in Winston-Salem. But will definitely be back!

Earl's has always been a family favorite. In fact, my son specifically asked if we could have his going-away dinner there. We almost always order the loaded nachos with tots and BBQ—a simple menu item we've enjoyed many times. After we placed our order, our waitress came back about five minutes later to tell us they were out of BBQ. That wasn't a big deal, but it would have been nice to know before we ordered. My son switched to steak, and I ordered a burger with an over-easy egg. My boyfriend's and my son's meals arrived about 10 minutes before mine. They waited for my food before eating, which I appreciated, but by the time we all started eating, their meals were no longer hot. When my burger finally arrived, the over-easy egg I ordered was cooked over hard. Because this was my son's going-away dinner, I chose not to complain. I didn't want to turn an important family dinner into an uncomfortable experience. The biggest disappointment came when the check arrived. I noticed an "operating fee" and asked the server to remove it. Operating costs are part of running a business and shouldn't be passed on to customers as a surprise charge. When I questioned it, I was told it was a c

We had a great time here for a birthday lunch with friends. The food was amazing, unfortunately the service was not, not terrible, but definitely lacking. Our friends are dinkers and would have bought several drinks themselves if there had been someone to take the order. It didn't bother me but they had to chase someone down for the couple they each got lol. 1pm on a Sunday.

We have been trying different places for our weekly date nights and when we saw Earl’s menu and pics, we decided to go last night. It was wonderful. My hubs got the Graceland, which is the bologna on Texas toast….y’all!!!, that was the thickets and best bologna he and I have ever tasted! I had the Earl burger and it was fantastic. You get plenty of food that’s for sure! Oh, one more thing….we ordered the fried pickles and they were a little too salty. Just mentioned it to the waitress but didn’t expect a comp….was fully prepared to pay for them, but because service was top notch, the waitress read her customers and delivered! Please, if you are in the Winston Salem area, this is a MUST eat place!!

Just ate here and hands down the worst service and meal I've had in a long time. Our group of 5 always meets up to eat here before we go to the theater several times a year. Got here at 12pm with people at 2 other tables. It took 1 hour to get our food, I had to go to the bar to get a drink refill because our waitress never came back to table till our food got here. And we just decided to drink water as she never came back to ask if we wanted anything else to drink. Everyone's food (5 of us) came out wrong or cold. If we were not headed to see a play I would have sent my food back. I had the Yolked & Loaded, eggs were cold and they left the queso off. When they brought out my queso it was not only cold but so cold it was solidified and not liquid. Onion rings were cold on 2 others plates and they brought out the wrong side on another dish. The kicker was for a group of 5 is that we got charged gratuity automatically (which we never have before, maybe because she put in 6 people on ticket?), and there was a 4% operations fee added to all our bills. We paid in cash, one with card. After paying we asked what that fee was, and we're told it was credit card fee. I paid with a card but
