Earls is always one of my favorite spots to go for lunch. You have to order the truffle fries to start, they are perfectly crispy and the grated Parmesan cheese on top as a nice touch. My go to dish is always one of their taco options paired with the sparkling raspberry lemonade. If you go I would recommend requesting Adam as your server, he is one of the best!
