Earls Kitchen + Bar

We had a really great experience overall at this international fusion spot. We ordered the shrimp pork dumplings, the Deluxe Burger, Baja Tacos, and the Mango Smoke Show Margarita. The dumplings were packed with flavor, the burger was cooked perfectly, and the margarita was a standout; smoky, fruity, and beautifully balanced. The only slight disappointment was the Baja Tacos. They were good, but didn’t quite live up to the high expectations we had for a restaurant of this caliber. Service was very good; attentive, friendly, and welcoming throughout our visit. We’d definitely come back next time we’re in the state to explore more of the menu.

We were celebrating my son’s college acceptances at CU Boulder and DU and had a wonderful evening. In town from Atlanta, we didn’t really know where to go - but we found very positive reviews and many options on the menu that were sure to please my son. We shared birria tacos and wagyu pressed sushi as appetizers, both delicious. I also had a gem caesar which was very fresh. for mains, my son had the deluxe burger and I had the blackened salmon. I replaced the rice with extra greens as I can’t have the extra carbs (diabetes)…. the salmon could have had a little less blackening spices and been a little less cooked… but I forgot to ask for the fish rare, so no big deal. The real treat of the evening was our server, Ava, who gave my son the inside scoop on Boulder. While he had already met some of my friends who attended years ago and/or lived in the area, the perspectives from Ava as a recent grad were invaluable. She went out of her way to give him insights and we were grateful for her thoughtful answers to our questions!

Fantastic dinner! Showed up in time for Happy Hour and had the Nashville Chicken and Pickle skewers - they were absolute fire! And the pork chops definitely can't be missed - Cheyenne was a fabulous server, super sweet, great recommendations and all around awesome service!

If you’re looking for a spot where the atmosphere is as polished as the service, Earls remains a top-tier choice. During my recent visit, the food was consistently delicious—the Korean dish had the perfect kick—but what truly elevated the evening was our server, Dixon. Dixon struck that rare, perfect balance of being professional yet genuinely personable. He was incredibly attentive without being intrusive, ensuring our drinks stayed full and offering spot-on menu recommendations. It’s rare to find service that feels this effortless. If you’re heading in, definitely ask for his section!
