I used to eat here a lot when they used to be further up Kaimuki. Boy the menu changed a lot! I miss the avocado toast. Got an email about an incredible looking fish burger so had to check it out. Super easy to order online and pick up (when there's ample parking in market city). Customer service could've been more smiley but that's okay. The fish burger was a good size for $14. Great crispy batter. But lacked salt. Needed pickles or something to enhance the flavor. Good that they packed it partially open so it stayed crispy and easy to hold. Also ordered the turkey club for $14.95. It was decent. Size was smaller than I thought but good enough. At first I couldn't see any "guts" but after cutting it in half, it looked better. Had way too much Pesto though. Needed avocado and tomato to balance the mayo and salt. Also tried the 2 piece chicken box for $13.95. Sorry but not worth it. The chicken pieces were great sized and cooked well. But the waffle fries were not good at all--no taste, no crisp, we actually threw them away. I wonder if they would've been better not in a box; perhaps the box made them steam.
Earl Kaimuki located in the Market City Shopping Mall. Ample parking in a private parking lot. Known for their awesome sandwiches. Service is friendly and efficient. We had the Waffle Fries, Philly Beef Sandwich and the Rueben. Expertly prepared and delicious.
I remember when Earl's opened in Kaimuki and they had this amazing bacon jam. Then I moved off island..... And now I'm back home! And I totally forgot about Earls until I went to a school event and they brought Earls for lunch. Creamy. Chicken. Sandwich. Omg. So friggin delicious. And hearty! The two times I've gone, everyone was nice. Ambiance, though a smaller establishment, was clean and similar to Teddy's regarding decor. I cannot comment on the other sandwiches, and sadly, I can't eat cold cuts anymore, so there's some I can't try BUT, I'm glad they have hot options and veggie options!
This is located at Market City. Parking can be tight because there are a number of restaurants there as well as Foodland. Earl is a small shop mostly meant for pick up. Call in your order or you'll be waiting a while for your sandwich. I ordered and was given an estimated time of 25 minutes, but it was ok because I just went over to Foodland to browse. My food was ready just a few minutes before promised so that was nice. I ordered the cheesesteak and the turkey club. Both were really delicious, but I personally preferred the cheesesteak. So good! There was a good amount of meat sauce, onions and cheese - a good ratio. it is pricey for what you get though. I will probably be back.
Had to go to Market City. Like this location better than the old one...closer to home/work. Saw they were gonna do the Krabby Patty Sammy...whatever it's called...so heck yeah, i'm there! People park like crap in that lot, so be careful, but otherwise can typically find parking fairly easily at least during the slower times. Got 2 of them krabbies...one for me, one for my mom. Felt heavy so thought to weigh one after I already took a few big ol bites. Buggah was 11oz. 2 crab patties, sauce, pickles, tomato, lettuce on a toasted bun. Bun little bready for me, but I just ripped some off and was perf. YUM. Totes 2 meals worth... $30+ for 2 of um. Pretty much the going rate for burgers/sandwiches nowadays I guess. Now I gotta look out for the fish sandwich...
Delightful! I got the original philly cheesesteak and substituted the cheese whiz for provolone. A great decision indeed--The bread had a great crunch without tearing up the roof of your mouth, and it was filled to the brim with meat, cheese, and veggies. My husband had the hot honey chicken sandwich and I was able to snag a bite before he gobbled it up! It had a nice kick to it without being too overwhelmingly spicy. The winner for the both of us though... was the waffle fries! Holy cow, some of the best waffle fries on the market. They were not overwhelmingly greasy and they were cooked to absolute perfection. Nice and golden and crispy and stayed warm throughout the entire meal, yum yum yum! My only wish would be something different to dip the fries in, their ketchup isn't bad but I'm not that big of a fan of ketchup in general. Some sort of homemade fry sauce would have leveled it up! The price is a little steep, $35 for everything, no drinks included, but I know that if you sign up with your phone number and gather up 100 points you can earn $5 towards your next purchase. TIPS & TRICKS: * We were not able to find a public restroom around, so don't plan on staying long! There was some seating but it felt like a lot of people were calling in orders to go and taking it out.
Whenever I'm craving a hearty and tasty sandwich I usually find myself coming to Earl. Now located in Market City Shopping Center and open till 9pm I decided to come for dinner. I called the order in so we didn't have to wait as long. Ordered their Earl Philly, the special; buffalo chicken Caesar salad sandwich, bacon fries, and a lemonade. Every thing was amazing and cost around $50. You definitely are paying for the quality, I think it's worth it!
I love EARL!! I had been in a previous trip to Honolulu and had the pleasure of coming back to EARL Kaimuki this trip. I got a lemonade and the Cubano Italiano. The lemonade was the perfect mix of sour and sweet and sooo refreshing. The sandwich had perfectly toasted bread, the perfect amount of condiments (mustard for the Cubano), and was made so well nothing fell out/slid: every bite was perfect!! I can't wait to come back!!
I recently had the pleasure of trying the hot honey Old Bay sandwich from Earl in Kaimuki, and I must say, it was a delightful surprise. The Old Bay seasoning was spot-on, adding just the right amount of zest to the hot chicken. The sandwich was beautifully balanced with herb mayo and pickle, creating a perfect harmony of flavors. The service was excellent, making the experience all the more enjoyable. The process of picking up my sandwich was swift, thanks to clear parking and a very clean restaurant environment. Earl in Kaimuki really knows how to do chicken sandwiches right, and I'm thrilled with my visit. Additionally, I took advantage of a buy-one-get-one-free deal from Uber Eats, which brought the price down to only $6 per sandwich--a fantastic deal for anyone looking to enjoy a delicious meal without breaking the bank. Earl's definitely nailed it with both quality and value!
