Earl of Sandwich

What a junk hole. Got in there about 9:30 am and was looking at the breakfast menu. The server comes over at 9:45 am saying no more breakfast switching to lunch. Meanwhile the menu says serving breakfast until 10:30am. Chicken wrap was soggy and gross. They should burn this place down along with Newark airport. Suck since this is the only sit down place at Terminal A.

Don’t ever go get food here - The vegetarian sandwich I ordered had stale stinky ingredients. I had to throw it out after the first bite. Atrocious wait times too.

This is the only sit down eating option for this set of gates right now. Menu was a standard (but small) selection of sandwiches, salads and wraps. However, salads and wraps were not available so choice was limited to the sandwiches and calorie intensive appetizers. Ended up ordering a Reuben sandwich was respectable enough. Boston lager was advertised as $10.50 on the menu but charged at $12.50 which seemed very misleading. When I challenged the charges I was told that the menu needed to be updated. Not sure that it is legal to advertise one price and charge another. Menu clearly stated $10.50 or a pint or tall so not much ambiguity there. Service slow and well below average, surprising given that all customers have planes to catch.

Upon arrival noticed coworker arguing.... two women. It took 6 minutes to get service. There were only 2 tables occupied upon my entrance.... not busy at all. Waitresses mingling at counter and other browsing cell. Whe I sat, again waited 6 minutes, I had to get up and request ( the waitress that was on cell) service. She gave me a menu, kept on browsing cell, and yell across to a waiter to give me attention. Upon leaving, as my boarding was getting close, I approached the counter with my ck. Lady on counter did not take my card for processing nor mentioned why.... never acknowledge my presence and kept browsing cell.FOR MANAGENET... If video service on the restaurant is active please review and verify. Ck time on Oct 5th; approx 7:20 to 7:45 am.Crew requires proper training. I don't belive I would be able to visit this restaurant again.

A nice man took my order and I sat down and the place was empty, as I was eating my sandwich, another employee there then approached me and the employees name was “Abracely” in the A terminal gates 20-28 came up to me and told me I couldn’t sit there and eat because I had the take out bag, I then asked if I could buy a drink so I can stay sitting and she told me no after I already had bought a sandwich and chips. This is horrible customer service on “Abracely’s” behalf, very unfortunate as I liked this place but will never eat it again. She should be fired.

It's a good place to eat a hot sandwich before the flight. They give chips with it.Only one option for vegetarians. No option for vegans.Also when I went there were no other things available. It was mid-day Saturday.Not much space for seating.

This was easily the worst food experience I've ever had in an airport. I felt like I was in a 3rd world airport from an Indiana Jones movie. I ordered a Bacon Egg & Cheese sandwich and was brought a culinary abortion that I could barely eat. How do you mess that? Also, the waitress acted like she forgave you for the transgression of being there, and acted in such a dismissive manner that made some of the patrons look at each other as if saying "Are you seeing this s***t?!?"Also, there was a terrible sewage smell that would come and go. This place should be shut down ASAP.

It was mobbed, not their fault, but the wait was brutal and people were grumpy.

Super slow. 20 minutes for a sub. If they weren't inside the airport terminal, they would be out of business in 60 days. No system at all? (Cashier was pleasant)

Simply the worst airport food I've eaten in years. For the first time in as long as I can remember, the coffee was literally undrinkable, and the omlette only related to the real deal in that they both contain carbon.

Absolutely atrocious wait times. Ordered a sandwich which took 20 min. Went back to order another one for my wife which took 30 min. And only at that point when they skipped my order number did they realize they missed it and made it then. Kitchen staff had zero urgency. Not asking for blazing sandwich making but wow. No apology either.

I don’t expect a ton from airport restaurants in the first place but this place takes the prize for worst experience in recent memory. The service for a breakfast sandwich and a coffee was glacially slow. It took 16 min for then to even bring me a menu. The coffee another 5 min and then he had to come back and ask about what sandwich I ordered. There are only three!

Our last flight of day and stopped in for a sandwich. The staff was very rude and seemed to be like don't bother usattitude. This was a first time for this restaurant and will never go back again!! Sandwich was overpriced and hardly any chicken in the Buffalo wrap plus it was overpriced.

Not sure I can opine on the food yet because I have been sitting here forr 30 minutes (at the request of an employee who explained if I wanted to eat at a table I should sit down and wait for the server to come by).Since then, all attemps at contacting the server(s) have been unsuccesful. It reminds me of East Germany, where servers could not get fired... THey walk by studiously avoinding eye contact or my raised hands..fascinating how slowly they move, with up to 10 people stanidng in line and of course waiting for their plane to board.In the end, I got up and went to one of the cashiers, who was very nice, apologized and took my order immediatly. That earned a second start.

Watch your credit cardThis has happened a while ago but I was reviewind my itinerary when my wife and I travelled through Europe in 2012 and this brought to mind a bad memory. When we arrived back in the USA at Newark International Airport we had some time between flights and ordered from the Earl of Sandwich. The name was very catchy after the one who invented something so wonderful and we thought it would be nice.The food was OK but not at all special. But, upon getting home and checking my credit card statements on line, to reconcile against receipts, I found that our credit card had been compromised.For that particular card, the card had only been out if my wallet for that particular tranasction and I thought it unual that the clerk was running the card behind the calendar where I could not see the cardWhen I found the credit card usage that did not make sense I remembered that event. While I was reimbursed by the credit card this is only paid for, in the long run, by all card users. I would never go there again.
