Earl of Sandwich

First time customer from atlanta. Had the Italian and it was very good. Will definitely come back.

Sandwich tastes ok. However the cashier was hard to understand; also she missed I ordered HAM, egg and cheese biscuit, so I got an egg and cheese. Coffee is lukewarm and not a full (topped) cup.

Both wrap that were purchased were already soaked through and inedible in wrap form. Tasteless spicy tuna. The chipotle avocado sandwich was OK. It would have been better if the three tiny pieces of avocado included hadn’t been the hardest part of the entire sandwich.
Service was accommodating enough to warrant two stars.

Earl of Sandwich is probably my favorite fast food restaurant not located in the south. Any time I travel out of town, I try my best to eat at one. This location isn’t any different.
It is located near D terminal so plan accordingly. If you are heading to A, B or C, you will pass this location.
This is an airport location, so you need to have some expectations. For example, the service can be pretty slow. It is not uncommon for them to only have 1 person staffed here. The food here is not as good as Earl of Sandwhich in other locations. You kind of have to expect that, because it is an airport. Regardless, it’s still pretty tasty. If you compare it to other airport food, it’s really good.

Manager is exceptionally rude. I can’t believe some of the things coming out of his mouth. I like their product, but I will never go to this location again.
Many choices in the airport.

I ordered the Caribbean Jerk Chicken sandwich. I swear they must have been rationing the chicken. I counted 4 fairly small pieces of chicken on this sandwich. Despite the limited amount of chicken on my sandwich it was pretty good. The chicken was flavorful and the jerk sauce was really good.

This place gets a rare one star from me. It’s specific to this location though the food I ended up getting was pretty bad too so I’m not sure if the food is consistently bad among with other branches but I doubt I’ll ever give this company another shot at taking my money.
So here’s what happened.
I get to the airport. Hungry of course because amidst the rush of packing, making sure I got everything for my flight and trip, and getting to the airport, my stomach pangs were decidedly ignored until I had the brain capacity to understand that I was hungry and a little angry (primarily because I hate flying).
Upon passing through the rapescan and being molested by the TSA (for the umpteenth time), I picked up my carryon and walked towards the first place I smelled food.
My animal instincts begged me to order everything on the menu but I stood there patiently, contemplating like a normal human being on what looked deservingly appropriate to squash whatever monster growled within me. And like a normal human being I waited for my turn (albeit I was only second of a line of two people) to verbalize my desire to give paper for nourishments.
And with confidence, I told the gatekeeper my decision.
«Uh… sorry… we don’t make that ’cause… uh… we don’t have it in stock.» replied the only obstacle to finding peace.
But I wasn’t about to fold under change, years of being denied my first choice of almost everything from food to sex had given me the power to go with my second best choice. And from the looks for my fellow, his bloodshot eyes, constant licking of the lips, sweating when it was clearly not warm at all were subtle indicators maybe he was very sick or very high. Even so, being not completely happy but not deterred I gave him my second choice.
«Oh… yeah… sorry sir. We don’t have that in stock either. I think.»
Now, being denied my first and second choice, though not my first, doesn’t usually happen to me so always being prepared for worst case scenario, I did what most normal human beings do in such situations and asked what he’d recommend that was in «stock».
“So, everything on the left side of the menu we have and is good and our new items on the menu, I can make for you too. Um… yeah, sandwich B is good… sandwich A isn’t bad also.“
So now, I’m confused. Allow me to explain quickly. MY FIRST TWO FREAKING CHOICES WAS SANDWICH A AND SANDWICH B. So I calmly told him that those were my first two choices and that he had just told me that they were out of stock.
«Oh yeah, we’re out on those items but you can get sandwich C which is good.»
Not wanting to miss my all important flight of doom in a tin can, I finally told him that I wanted sandwich C, despite being told they had sandwich A and B, then told they were out only to be told they had it then be crushed once again that they didn’t. So sandwich C it was.
«Oh yeah. We out of that too.»
Ok, now I’ve gone from rational and understanding human being to exploding inside. But I muttered to myself to stay calm and move on. Maybe I can eat the napkins and plastic forks and knives which I can plainly see that they had in stock. But having a basic understanding of human biology told me that plastic may not be the best thing to figure out my hunger problem, so I in a defeated manner, told him to make me whatever first thing he could think of that they did have in stock and toast the crap out of it.
«Ok. That’ll be $x.xx and give me 10 minutes.»
WTF. Ten minutes to make me a sandwich?! I know ten minutes is too short of a time to grow the wheat, harvest it, kill and cure the meats, grind and process the mustard but too long if I’m the only customer there and you have all of the ingredients, sliced, cut, pre-​weighed with sandwich making instructions right there in front.
I was beyond upset. But since I gave him some dirty green papers, I waited and watched. And yes, he took 10 minutes. To open the bread, to place the meat in the split bread, to salt and pepper it, to peel cheese and to put the pre-​toasted sandwich D onto a metal tray to be moved along a conveyor belt to be toasted.
It was like watching something absolutely epic in slow-​motion. Like a work of art growing in time-​lapse motion with precise attention to detail. Except this was not epic, a work of art, and my sandwich came out burnt and lettuce outside of the bread with condiments forgotten.
I made the intentional effort to not thank him (my first time ever in ordering food) and took the food to the boarding area. Once seated in seat 14C, I took out what looked like a large burnt burrito (I’m trying to avoid the phallic imagery here) and took one bite into it.
Sandwich D tasted like cardboard.

When it comes to sandwiches, this place has nothing on other chains. Specifically, Jimmy John’s, Jersey Mike’s, Quiznos etc… Even Subway wins in my book just based on portion and I hate Subway! The sandwiches are small and I’m still hungry just a few minutes after finishing it. I ordered the Full Montague and it was good. Just not nearly as good as say, a Bootlegger Club from Jimmy John’s. They also offer soups and salads however I cannot speak on those because I didn’t order any. The price is steep too. Maybe it’s because I’m in the airport but I can buy twice the sandwich for less money elsewhere. Now I have to go and spend more money at someplace else to stop my stomach from growling. The best part was that it was served hot and the cheese was nice and melted but you can get that elsewhere too. If you’re in the mood for a sandwich, I strongly recommend looking for a different place unless that place is Subway. Don’t ever eat at Subway! If Earl of Sandwich is your only choice, you might want something else instead of a sandwich.
Thanks for reading.

Actually one of the better food places in the Philly airport.
I just can’t give more stars to a place that couldn’t operate without a supply of trapped customers.
While the sandwiches are better than most food you’ll find here, the staff is always in slow motion and don’t really care about anything. But in their defense that is how this airport runs.

Someone making sandwiches thought it was ok to give a customer burnt bread. Unfortunately by the time I saw the sandwich, I was on my plane so I couldn’t go back and ask them to make another. I called the numbers on the receipt to get a refund or gift card and no one has called me back. No one wants to be stuck on a long flight and find the food they just paid for is inedible-​I ate the inside anyway because I was hungry and didn’t have any other food except the pack of airline cookies they offer. I posted a picture of the bread I received. terrible, just terrible.
REVISED-​manager kindly offered refund or replacement. I decided on replacement and will stop back at the shop on my return trip. I would eat there again.

If you find yourself behind security in Terminal D and looking for something to eat the options can be pretty slim, so you stop in at Earl of Sandwich its offerings are simple and usually your experience here will be at the same level of the service you receive. Today the staff was ok they weren’t slammed with customers so I chose this place over the neighboring Burrito joint or the sit down Chickie & Pete’s.
One «Everything» Bagel toasted with Ham and Swiss with a light spread of Dijon Mustard and a bottle of water not exactly the breakfast of champions but it was ok and scores three stars if the situation repeats itself I“d do it again…

My sandwich was average. The meat had ok flavor, it needed more cheese, but the whole wheat bread was delicious! It’s in a great location to for grabbing a sandwich before or after you board.

As airport grab-​and-​go restaurants are, Earl does a decent job with a variety of sandwich options including turkey, tuna and even a Hawaiian. But today I could smell the roast beef and so I got that one. Yum. Good portion of sliced beef that was beyond medium cooked with cheddar cheese and a yummy horseradish sauce. Nope, don’t get lettuce or tomatoes on it. It’s perfect the way it is.
And since it’s right between the security station and the top of the D gates (right near the Delta SkyClub!), it’s easy to get and eat at the gate or on board.

An Earl of Sandwich in Philadelphia? Pinch me.
Okay, you need to be past airport security to eat here, but let’s just assume you are. And that you’re hungry.
May I recommend their Italian hot sandwich? It’ll leave you hot and bothered. Well, slightly hot but very bothered: it’s the right amount of lunch, and there’s enough grease that you won’t want to eat again for hours. What I love about EoS sandwiches is that their dense-​yet-​yielding constructions are pleasing to the palate and kind to your chompers.
EoS aficionados should note this is location has a more limited menu — it is an airport location, after all — but packs unlimited pleasure in their offerings.
p. s. Friendly service.

The sandwiches here are better than their counterparts in Vegas: juicier meat, softer and more chewable bread, better flavor. Grab an original for your outbound flight — yeah, you’ll probably stink up the plane with the delicious smell of roast beef and horseradish but it sure beats snacking on salted peanuts.

I was exiting the airport and realized I was starving and should get something to eat before I hit the road. A sandwich seemed perfect.
The sandwiches are all hot but I asked for it not hot and they said they still needed to taste the bun (their signature) but they didn’t have to heat up the meat and cheese. Perfect.
I had an Italian which was mortadella, capicola, salami, ham, mozzarella, tomatoes and Italian dressing. It was pretty good. Topped it off with some salt and vinegar potato chips and a bottled iced tea. The meal definitely hit the spot. Total with tax came to $ 11.74.

Really decent sandwich place in the airport. I’ve had the Italian, tuna melt, jerk chicken and the classic Earl. The bread is always fresh and tasty. The service is decent, they just take forever to make the food. Their Earl brand chips are to die for. It’s always a good fallback place when I’m not on F.

After getting off the airplane, all I wanted was hot, non-​greasy airport food. I explored every terminal until I finally asked for directions. Apparently Terminal D was where everything was at… which wasn’t a lot of restaurant options. However, seeing Earl’s Sandwhich was definitely enough for me to round up my search. Earl’s instantly reminded me of the delicious goodness from past late night meals after clubbing in Vegas.
Must Gets:
Full Montagu — Roast Beef, Roast Turkey, Cheddar, Swiss, Mustard Sauce, Roma Tomatoes, Leaf Lettuce $ 7.49
Earl’s Club — Roast Turkey, Bacon, Swiss, Club Sauce, ROma Tomatoes, Leaf Lettuce $ 7.39
Italian — Mortadella, Capicola, Salami, Italian Dressing, Italian seasoning, Roma tomatoes, Ham and Mozarella $ 7.39
Soup of Day Tomato — $ 3.89
Boy, was the food delicious. Of the three, Earl’s Club was my favorite. Great quality, hot pressed sandwhiches on whole wheat bread. The bread looked burnt when I opened up the gold foil rectangle of a sandwhich, but trust, its just dark due to the wheat. What I love about the sandwhiches is that all the ingredients are neatly packed for clean, quick feasting. The sandwhiches are sliced in diagonal half portions, perfect for sharing. The soup of the day included options of tomato, tomato with bacon, broccoli and cheese (ran out), and loaded potato soup. The tomato soup came with a bag of buttered croutons. Seriously, seeing Earl was a pleasant surprise and satisfying experience. Definitely the best food available in PHL with reasonable prices.

the famous earl of sandwich. i can’t believe i tried it here first before trying out the original in vegas.
this is what i eat when i’m flying united out of terminal D. the full montagu is my favorite.
what makes their sandwiches the best is not just the good bread and fresh ingredients. it’s the fact that the sandwiches are neatly grill pressed, which not only makes the sandwiches nice and toasty, but also means it’s not messy at all to eat.
