I read very positive reviews of Earl's so it was one of the first places we went. When we entered we stood and waited to be seated for about five minutes although hardly anyone was there. I ordered chicken which the menu said was one of their specialties. It was very dry. The view was nice, but we definitely will... More

Four of us had a good meal in here, Cod & Fries and Burgers with Fries, I would recommend it as value for money, good service and good basic food. The decor seemed odd to my taste

Part of the Earl's chain, the Banff restaurant is everything you expect from Earl's. The menu is pretty extensive, with something for everyone, all well prepared and presented. My steak was rare as requested, which is always a good sign of a well trained cooking team. The restaurant was pretty busy and we had to wait about 15 mins for... More

In the town of Banff, we found it to be very high priced and this was one meal that wasn't quite as highly priced as others. The food and service was good. It is on the second floor of a building. We liked that they have sandwich and salad choices at dinnertime and you are not forced to buy an... More

Cookie cutter experience. Food actually pretty bland. You get what you expect and nothing more. Likely many other choices in Banff that would be better.

Food on our Canadian Rockies trip was very expensive especially in the hotels. We found Earl's to have an interesting menu and great food at a more reasonable price. If we would have seen it in Banff, we would have eaten there!

This is an 'upmarket' pub. The decor is good and the upstairs dining room provides good views. The service was friendly and prices reasonable. I though what I ate was best food I'd had in 2 weeks in Alaska/Canada - but probably just what I chose!

We love this location. Great decor, friendly staff and the food is always consistently good. Try the Dynamite Prawn Rolls, Hunan Kung Pao, fish tacos are some of our favourites. The Earls signature beers are delish as well. Try the winter pudding if they have some still available.

Very friendly staff and fantastic quick service. Had the 16oz Rib Eye steak with a 'signature' rub - cooked rare with two sides. Steak cooked to perfection and very tasty! Golden fries perfect and so was the green salad. The other food looked great too. Great Staff/Great Food. Highly Recommended for an informal meal.

This is a good value place to get some decent food in Banff. The service was really friendly, the food tasty and with offers on cocktails what more could you want?
