After 4 days in Rocky Harbour this unassuming place "at the end of the road" came into view. We met Earl and he was lovely to talk to. He shared lots of stories and was eager to answer questions. We were hoping for a lobster dinner. He had a local fiddler pop in, the place was packed, the service incredible,... More

Tasty basic food at good price. We would have liked more choices on the menu. And some of the items on the menu were not available. Nothing special or inspiring. Good service. We were here in the off season.

They have a full page in their menu of all Newfoundland specialties. They know how to cook these meals, too. You will not go away hungry. The service is not very good, though.

This is a very casual, not at all fancy place, heavy on the fried food. My husband loved his moose burger, I had the seafood platter, fish and scallops both overcooked, and didn't taste wonderful. Family friendly,clean bathrooms, good prices, other people we talked with really enjoyed the moose stew.

A very friendly young man greeted us and quickly seated us with menus. Our drinks came quickly and my Iceberg beer came in a frosty glass! Our food was super. Cod au gratin was a large serving with mega cheese. Fried homemade and yummy wings. Highly recommend it!

The food was very good and the prices are decent. Unfortunately, the place lacks atmosphere. The service was good. They serve many "local" dishes and there are several moose dishes to try out. They also serve local beer and wine. I would definitely recommend this place to a friend.

We had been advised to try this by Sharon at The Humberview in Deer Lake and as it was right across from the Gros Morne Cabins where we were staying it seemed like an easy decision. What a treat! Moose soup which tasted better the most tender beef, an amazing moose burger and the hearty moose stew with a completely... More

`We stopped for lunch and although the food was plentiful, it was average in taste. If you have a big appetite and like fried foods this is the place for you.

This was one of our favorite restaurants during our two-week stay in NFLD. We ate at Earl's twice. The food was fresh, portions were generous and prices were very reasonable. We tried the cod, moose stew and the bakeapple pie. We also bought some delicious bakeapple and partrigeberry tarts in the connecting bakery. These tarts had a nice pastry with... More

Earle's has it, and if it doesn't, you don't need it. From sit down food to "to-die-for" partridgeberry molasses jam-jam cookies, to moose stew in a jar, to Newfoundland books and local musicians' CDs, Earle's is a delight. Casual dining, seems to be family friendly, and clean washrooms. A great place to spend an hour in Rocky Harbour.
