"It's not the best place to look at on the inside, there's no tables, only barstools. It is a small shop so that's understandable. The sandwiches were DELICIOUS. The girls at the counter were very nice. I found this place because of their Instagram post highlighting their sandwiches. I definitely will go back. Parking was kinda tight but it's in a strip type mall."

"Epic local small feel family shop. Amazing hand crafted sandwiches that feel like a gourmet meal. The bread, vegetables and meat all amazingly fresh and tasteful. The chicken bacon fries were just as epic. Highly recommend."

"5/2023: Good sandwiches. I got the Cubano and my friend got the French Dip. Both were very good and were stuffed with meat. However, the sandwiches were a bit small for the price. 8/2023: Came back even though my first experience here was average thanks to the high price of their food. This time my friend got the Chicken Po’ Boy. Not wanting to spend nearly $20 on a sub sandwich again, I got the Creamy Garlic Chicken Sandwich. Obviously their chicken sandwiches are smaller than their subs, but it was still filling. The garlic sauce had kind of a weird taste. I liked the bites of my sandwich that didn’t have as much sauce. The bun and chicken were good though. Better than the Po’ Boy at any rate. For some reason, that one had much tougher chicken. Still won’t be planning on making this a regular stop since it’s so expensive. @Christopher Ferko it seems that there’s always one of your kind in the reviews for a restaurant that serves Philly Cheesesteaks. I don’t get why you guys haven’t learned your lesson by now. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: as a Hawaii local, I would never buy a poke bowl outside of Hawaii. A regional specialty will never be as good outside of its home region, especially to somebody from said region. It’s not hard."

"Eating at earls is such a frustrating experience. On one hand they have made some of the best sandwiches I have had, but on a different day the exact same item will be a completely different and inferior version of what it was. Their biggest problem is consistency, it seems like its 5050 you are actually going to get the sandwich you came for, and have enjoyed in the past, or something disappointing. Thats pretty unacceptable when you charge 22 dollars for it. Their menu changes all the time, but they haven't figured out how to consistently deliver on the main stays of it. I'm not sure if this is an attempt at "innovating" things, but the Italian from 3 years ago back in Kaimuki was leagues better than what they serve now, even on the "better days". It's a shame but I don't recommend. I have attached a current picture, (first one, left) and an old picture, (second one, right). Earls is otherwise a good business and hopefully they continue to find success and find their way."

"Honestly I always love anything I order from EARL. The new earl cheesesteak is pretty good. I would just like more flavor from the sauce. Overall a bit more pricey than a normal sandwich spot but it's worth it"
