Go here at least once a week for the grilled cheese and tomato soup. Staff is friendly. Beers rotated often. Good variety and solid beers.

Took an hour for the food. We ordered the fries and beer cheese. It wasn’t even crowded until the Trivia crowd came in after a half hour. One of the trivia teams arriving after us got their fries first… by a half hour… so i thought oh they are bringing both our items together i guess. No. The beer cheese came out first and the fries took another 15 minutes! Unbelievable. We asked nicely several times. No offer of a round of free drinks or anything. We were told 3 times that its about to come out and we wait longer. Frustrating because i like the place but eon’t be going back.

Very chill vibe to this place. The food seems pretty well priced, and they had games which was super fun! I would go again for the vibes if I was in the area Famous beer cheese 3/5 The cheese sauce was good and the bread had a nice crisp to it. However, I wish the garlic was slightly cooked or was a garlic butter so it was easier to get on the bread. You basically rub a garlic clove on the bread which really didn't get it too garlicky

Visiting NYC and came across this spot on TikTok. Took our waiter’s rec and ordered Earl’s Famous Beer Cheese & Original Earl’s Taco. It was fresh, authentic and fantastic! Spot is cozy and staff was personable. 10 out of 10

I really like the beer cheese and bread w/garlic goes really well with their tomato soup! I’ve heard the mac and cheese is good too but I haven’t tried that one personally. Staff is pleasant but its a bit cramped near the register/order area.

Okay obsessed. Give this chef a raise!! This food is truly amazing. My sister said it was the best burger she’s ever had. The beer cheese with the bread is toasted and buttered to perfection. The Cesar salad with chicken is on pointttt. Vibes are cozy and fun. Love. Edit: forgot to include the tots are perfectly cooked and I’m not even a tomato soup fan but it was amazing

I came here last night and it was amazing. First it was for a group event and Dee was amazing. We emailed prior to the event. He was very helpful and we stayed within budget. We ordered the beer cheese, fries, mozzarella sticks and the wings. I loved the beer cheese. The beer cheese was amazing, the bread and the garlic with the cheese spread was so delicious. We sat outside and it was a great time. I would definitely come back to have other items. We also had ciders and beer. He gave us tickets which helped to us to keep count of the drinks.
