Earl of Sandwich is on my top 10 eateries in WDW! I LOVE IT! So hopefully I can shed some light on some things for you:


Bad: Line is usually ridiculously long
Good: Line usually moves ridiculously fast

Bad: It can sometimes be hard to find seating
Good: You're in DTD so just find a bench somewhere! You don't have to sit inside the restaurant!

Good: The tomato soup! Mmmmm...
Bad: If it's the summer time, you probably don't want hot soup.

Good: Sandwiches are HUGE
Bad: You probably will have to throw out an entire half since you can't finish it

As far as the best sandwiches, I myself have only ever had the Caribbean Jerk Chicken and the Mozzarella one (I think it was called Caprese, but I don't remember exactly). Both of them are amazing, but the Caribbean Jerk is my favorite. I always want to try a new one, but then I decide that I like my old standby so much that I just go for that all over again. LOL!

They also have amazing banana smoothies. (They're supposed to be strawberry banana I think, but I'm not a strawberry fan so they make it with just bananas for me). The workers there are so very nice!

This is the one restaurant that NEEDS to move up north. They were supposed to open one in Times Square a while back, but I don't think anything ever came of it... so sad...

It's good to know that the line moves fast because that has been the one factor holding us back from eating there (well, that and the fact that Wolfgang Puck Express' siren call is far too strong).

As for them opening up in NYC, I remember that rumor as weel. So I did what anyone else would do... I googled them! Turns out that they have opened a whole bunch of franchises but none here in the Northeast.

Cannonballs!

The bread they use is some of the best I've ever eaten.It's an awesome bargain!

There is no bad as far as the food that I've found. My new love is to have the sandwiches made as wraps. I LOVE the Cobb Salad wrap. To die for! Everything there is amazing. I love their Earl Greyer Lemonade tea. You won't want to share you sandwich is the problem, but it's great to get different kinds and split them so you can try more varieties!

Gosh, I've loved everything I've ever eaten at Earl. The BLT is great, Cannonball, Car. Jerk Chicken, etc. EVERYTHING!! I really love the soup, I've eaten it many times - even in warmer weather!! My daughter loves the kids grilled cheese with the soup. My husband likes several different sandwiches, too. The one problem my family has with Earl is deciding what we want to eat as we LOVE everything there!!!!!!!!!! Go and enjoy!!!

Their sandwiches are a lot like quiznos.I didn't care for the place. I am more of a subway gal and I like my sandwiches bland, not flavorful. The kid's sandwich was big enough for me, I didn't need a reg. size sandwich so I guess their food is a great deal but I won't waste my counter service here. We just didn't care much for their style. I didn't try the smoothies though. We got there right before they closed and everyone in there was incredibly rude to us, but we really were totally unaware that we waited till the last minute.

I have to agree that the Jerk Chicken is amazing.

Is it really hot? like I like peppers on my nacho and salad and stuff.

I comes hot temperature-wise.

As far as hot spicy-wise, I wouldn't say its really super hot. It does have peppers on it and some sort of creamy spicy sauce. I don't consider it 4-alarm hot, but it does have a little bit of a kick to it.

Now I want one....

lol sorry for making you want one. Sounds good to me though.

To me it's not hot at all. But it really depends on the person. I eat hot stuff all the time so I have a real high tolerance. IMO it's not as hot as the Jalapeno Peppers that come on Nachos.

The Earl of Sandwich is a must for us. The sandwiches are all very good. They are not a sub but a true sandwich and fabulous.The line is a bit long but it does move quickly.

In case you didn't know, its called Earl of Sandwich because it is actually owned by the real 4th Earl of Sandwich, John Montague. There are now about 7 Earl of Sandwich restaurants in the US.

When we went in Jan & Feb for a month I ate there for the first, second & third time. I love there wraps. I will be going back Jan. 09. Hopefully.

I didn't know that! That's actually really cool and extremely clever!!!

You learn something new every day!

This sounds like a great restaurant...I will have to give it a try. Oddly enough, we have one here in Carmel (subburb of Indy). Indiana always seems to be the last to get anything so I am surprised we are one of very few! The sandwiches sound delicious!

Along with everyone else, EOS is so yummy! My favorite is still the original. As far as the kids' meals go, they are just as large as the adults. We got each DS their own and they didn't come close to finishing them. DS10 (who can eat half of a Pizza Hut pan pizza) only finished about half!! Next time they will split a meal!

***Hey, garthbarth, where is the EOS in Carmel? I saw it on the site and thought I might make a roadtrip up there to grab one when I get the craving!

[Jenemmy]

it is worth repeating -- don't let the line turn you away. They are very efficient!

I loved the Caprese (Fresh Mozz, tomatoes and basil vinagrette). My advice would be for everyone in your family to get a different sandwich and then have a little tasting buffet right there at your table
