I was excited to go here because of all of the great things I have heard about Lamar...but I was disappointed :( It all started with a pushy tour of the place and I wasn't impressed because it felt a bit dirty and old. Then the next scary thing was a very crooked eyebrow wax that looked really strange...followed by an even worse massage. I would be willing to try it again because so many people love this place but I just haven't been brave enough!

Wow. 4.5 stars out of 1000+ reviews?? That's a lot to live up to, Earl. My buddy and I arrived to PH and walked around trying to find Earl of Sandwich for a few minutes. We found it by it's line. Yeah, this joint is both a tourist hot spot and local locale. Straight bumpin'. The menu is huge. I took a sneak peak, and I suggest you do the same if you're popping your Earl cherry, at the sandwiches that are offered at EoS. They've got more than sammies, but nothing appealed to me [lettuce isn't my cup of tea]. I wound up ordering two sandwiches, one for the lady and one for myself. We got the tuna and the Full Montagu [not to be confused with the foes of the Capulets]. The lady friend said, and I quote, "this is the best tuna sandwich that I've ever had." So I guess it's aight. As for the Full Montagu? Shawty rockin' to the beat for ya boyyyy. Geez, Louise. Folks talk about the roast beef...and there is good reason. It makes this, and probably any, sandwich. Service is fast and fun; the guy who took our order gave me a nice "Thank you. Come again" at the end of our transaction. I looked at him with a "are you serious" look and we both laughed. The crew takes their time creating these sammies, so be patient. I mean, what's five minutes? Just stand off to the side with your order-pager and watch some television. They've got plenty of flat screens all over the place. Definitely a solid four, but it comes very close to the four-and-a-halfsies that is attached to Earl's name.

The service my party & I received today was TERRIBLE. It took FOREVER to get our drink orders and food orders taken. Our servers name was ALEX & she really made us feel like we were a HUGE inconvenience to her because 1 guest moved seats. Her exact words were "Sir, I'm gonna need you to move back to your original seat because you already ordered your food and you're going to make things complicated when we bring the food out." Ummm, hello?!?!? Ever heard of changing seat numbers and COMMUNICATING to the food runners/chef that the food will be going to a different seat. It's seriously a NON-ISSUE! I'm a food server myself and I would NEVER EVER let a customer know when they're making things "challenging" for me. She also got pissed off that most people in our party needed separate checks. Granted, there was about 20 of us so I definitely understand how annoying that was but we had all just came for a wedding and that's the last thing that the bride and groom need to spoil the night. She said "well, how do I know you all need separate checks unless you TELL me first?! I don't know who's all together!" RUDE! Lastly, my friend ordered the chicken breast and in the fine print, it said that you get mashed potatoes with it but he didn't read that part so he asked to get a side of the baked potato. So, he ended up with 2 full sides of potatoes. He asked why he got 2 & she informed him about the mashed potatoes. He said he had no idea and she shoulda explained why he wanted 2 full starches. She said "WELL, I JUST ASSUMED YOU WERE REALLY HUNGRY AND WANTED A LOT OF CARBS!" I've been here before a year ago and loved it but I doubt I'd ever come back. 2 of us spoke to the manager and he offered NOTHING to compensate us for our horrible treatment. Not even taking off the added gratuity. If you make a mistake, fix it so good that we forget there was ever a problem in the first place.
