We have received a very nice service, order arrived in a very timely manner, our server was funny and very accommodating, we've had a great dinner experience. I do advise to reserve a table because the place is very busy.

Your prices are outrageous considering what you are providing. I had a Santa Fe salad with almost not a single bit of avocado and half a date. You are charging almost $30 for lettuce and corn and black beans. We all know there's inflation but honestly, I am not sure if I am coming back after this experience. Your manager was nice enough to create another salad for me, but your price increases and reduction in actual food is pretty awful. Service was outstanding.

It wasn't busy but service was slow and indifferent. The worst problem was that my wife's salmon (which was expensive) was overcooked and very dry. Why would they even serve this?? Also, this is supposed to be a “test kitchen” but only 3 unique items were on the menu. Overall, disappointing.

Great location. Love the unique menu items to try here, which you can't get at other Earls locations. Server m, Armaan, was very personable and quick! Manager m, Barsam, happened to walk by at one point and recognized our family from another location he worked at and stopped to say Hi! Made us feel very special. Will definitely come back!

We went as a group of 3 to watch the hockey game. I ordered a beer and had to wait 15 minutes for it. It was sitting on the bar counter the whole time. We all got burgers, the burgers were extremely salty and dry but we couldn't get the waitress's attention as she was busy with other tables. I think our waitress was friends with the table next to us as we saw her sit and chatting with them constantly. It seems earls has cut the amount of employees which has reduced service quality greatly. I do not remember having such a poor experience here before.

The place was hopping and the celebratory din made conversation challenging. With food like this, however, who has time to talk? The Cobb Salad was done well. My chicken clubhouse sandwich was delicious. The Queen Bee pizza is a star! The hot honey drizzle wakes up a ham and cheese pizza and turns it into something wonderful.Amid the noise and activity our waitress, Laura, was perfect. She was attentive without being intrusive. She was patient, encouraging and helped to provide a delightful dining experience.

Some restaurants are content to just remain stagnant in their menus. Don't fix it if it ain't broke right? That's why I love the Earls Test Kitchen. They come out with fresh, notable and new dishes quite often, constantly experimenting with new flavors.The restaurant itself is massive, and even more impressively, it is often full to capacity. A great place to catch up with friends, to celebrate birthdays, this place has you covered.My usual dish is the Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo, but on this occasion, I decided to try their Prime Rib. I'm so glad I did because, seriously, that meat was glistening. And it was a huge slab of meat at that. Took me a while to cut it all up, but it was so tender, cooked to a juicy medium rare.I'm sure it's not mentioned a lot, but the gravy I ordered on the side for the mashed potatoes was really rich and flavorful. I passed the broccoli on to my girlfriend as I don't particularly like that vegetable. Otherwise, it was well worth the money.My girlfriend also decided to try something new this time and went with the Truffle Tortellini, adding steak to it. She was happy to see that they had actually given her quite a few pieces of both pasta and steak, as other restaurants seemed to think that 4 or 5 pieces was sufficient so long as they were big pieces. The pasta was cooked perfectly, and the steak was delicious.Good drinks, fabulous food, reasonable prices. Earls is on my short list of restaurants that I keep going back to.

We had a reservation for brunch, we were starving and food came out super fast!! Loved that!! We had a bottle of sparkling and OJ to enjoy a few mimosas, super affordable prices during the brunch happy hour and food is excellent as well as the service ?❤️ Test kitchen has some different options from the regular Earl's, and since we visit often, it is always great to have something new and some familiar options!

I was excited to find Earl's Test Kitchen. The New & Notable list is wonderful marketing, especially for frequent guests. We ordered the Queen Bee Pizza. The flavors were really enhanced by that touch of honey. Our server, Laura, was welcoming and helpful. Our pizza appeared in moments. The whole service team worked smoothly together. The Surprise and Delight moment was when I ordered a second Martini. My first order was "Dry Gin Martini *with Olive on the side*." The second one was exactly that, and all I said was, "Yes, please, another." My only negative was the volume. Conversation was difficult. I am thrilled that my husband found an Earl's Test Kitchen near us in Northern Virginia. I look forward to seeing what you cook up next.

The food was great and also the service, easy to find parking and the atmosphere was good but too noisy.

Great atmosphere. Our server Markus was amazing, but the food was less than stellar. The test kitchen sushi rolls were overly salty and bland at the same time and my daughters Fettuccini Alfredo was dry. I honestly could overlook the sushi as it was a test kitchen item, I shouldn't of ordered them when I saw the lady at the table across from us send them back after one bite. Also my daughter didn't notice that the Alfredo was dry, probably cause she was too disappointed in the sushi roll and was starving. Markus was an amazing server, we was super friendly and helpful. The kicker was the night ended with me getting gum on my shirt sleeve due to a piece being stuck to the top of the banquette seating. Another server was nice enough to grab me a rag with cleaner on it but made no motion to press forward and remove the rest of the gum that wasn't on my brand new shirt. I was able to get the gum off my sleeve, thanks to my friend and daughter but it took time from us eating and enjoying getting together after so many years. But at least we have a story and memory LOL. I just wish the server who provided the rag was more diligent in removing the gum. At the end I removed it with the rag before a gentleman on the banquette attached got his bare arm stuck to the gum.

Looking forward to trying out more test meals! Service was great and booking online was very convenient. Overall very satisfied. Came during a hockey game so it is louder than usual.

Giving 3 stars to the courtesy provided to us by the Manager of the location. Lately, our experience was not great primarily in terms of customer service. We got pathetic customer service as most of the time we felt ignored and were looking for the servers to atleast listen to our concerns.I also belong to hospitality field ,being a restaurant supervisor, i understand that our server might be busy or exhausted however the server could pass our table's handover to someone else so atleast we could get things on time. Moreover, a guy came to collect our payment, and i felt like he was rushing the payment process, because i was entering the custom tip and he just clicked on confirm button by himself and asked me to tap on back. Honestly, i always give a tip of 18 to 20 %, but this time i gave 15. My friend wasnt happy with my decision of giving tip as they did not deserve it. My reason to leave tip was only that i belong to this field and manager's kindness; nothing else.On the other hand, i appreciate the manager's efforts thts why i am giving 3 stars. Probably, i wont return to this location specifically. Thnks for your business.

Took moms out and actually tried there test menu for once. Great choice fosho. Mom loved the za and the sushi I had reminded me of a more upscale restaurant forsure. Drinks were good as always and the lady’s are always a pleasure
