Earls Chilliwack. BC Canada

I’ve had many many burgers at Earls. Function of work mostly. Earls is generally a good place to meet clients and colleagues for lunch. And usually the burgers are pretty good, somewhere between 7 or 8 out of 10 on a consistent basis. So it was very disappointing to have the worst Earls burger of all time at their Chilliwack location. The bun is of huge importance in the overall burger picture. So when the bun is old and crumbly and you can’t eat the burger because its disintegrating in your hands, no matter how good everything inside is, it’s just game over for me. I’m a bit of a fresh bread nut. In this case on top of the crap bun, the burger was way too salty. I spent the next 4 hours licking my lips and downing Dosani. 5.5/10 this time around, sad sad sad. The sadder thing still, I’ll be having many more Earls burgers in the future.

Two all beef patties special sauce lettuce cheese pickles and onions. Hmm, sound familiar? Yup, this is a Big Mac, if, a Big Mac were actually a real burger.


This burger is a coronary waiting to happen, wow, 8/10. I had a rock gut for the remainder of the day as my body tried to digest all that meat and cheese and cholesterol. And just in case the burger didn’t have enough fat, the fries are of the breaded variety so they really soak in extra fat as well. That is not a criticism, that is what I think was expected from a burger this size. Come to think of it, this burger is actually a weight loss product. This burger is probably somewhere in the vicinity of 1200 – 1500 calories, if you have one in the morning, believe me you will not be able to eat anything for the rest of the day.
