Earls Kitchen + Bar

I’ve given 3 stars only bc I should’ve expected them to be super busy on a Friday night and therefore not be “on the ball” about the gluten cross contamination stuff so I can’t rlly blame them for that. I did take away 2 stars because I got two different answers about if they have a gluten free fryer or not so I don’t know who to believe and I had an immediate reaction to a dish listed as gluten free (chances are the reaction was due to gluten exposure but there’s no way to tell for sure). Lastly, when I informed the server I was celiac and explained what that meant, she responded by saying “haha wow you’re life must suck” and scurried away. I wasn’t insulted by the comment, just found it weird. Tje reason why I took a star off was because she didn’t say anything other than commenting how my life sucks, I didn’t feel assured that she understood the seriousness of my condition or really listened to what I was saying.

Love Earl’s because they have a dedicated fryer so that means fries! Yam fries!! The food is pretty good although the price can be a bit high for the quality. Staff is knowledgable or will ask the kitchen to be sure, which I appreciate. During non-covid times the yaletown location can have a waitlist for dinner.

Earl’s new gluten free pizza is hands down the best GF pizza currently offered in downtown Vancouver. Being a huge pizza lover I’ve tried almost everything available, this new crust is thin and tasty the Italia with a glass of red wine on a Friday night is the perfect end to the week. The bonus to all of this you can have Door Dash deliver it to you condo on the rainy Vancouver nights.

Can confirm they have a dedicated gf fryer. I had a great chicken sandwich with fries. The bun wasn't the best I've ever had here but it was edible

Had a good experience here. Only salads and burgers marked as gf on the menu. Not sure if they can amend any of the other options on the menu however my salad was delicious and they can do gf fries.

I had a great meal here. They have a dedicated gf fryer at this location so I could enjoy fries with my chicken sandwich. The gf bun didn't tell apart and I really enjoyed it!.
