Earls Kitchen + Bar, an iconic staple from Canada, is opening their first Texas location at Legacy West at 11 a.m. on June 14. Earls Kitchen + Bar at Legacy West represents the brands 69th location.

To kick-off Earls grand opening in Texas, $5 margaritas will be offered all day, every day for the month of June in original, raspberry, strawberry + mango. Guests can expect another $5 cocktail favorite during July.

Striking a balance of healthy and indulgence, Earls offers a menu diverse in culinary experiences along with a lively, high energy bar and dining environment rooted in authentic hospitality.

One of the most successful, family-owned independent restaurant groups in North America, Earls was founded in 1982 from humble beginnings as a laid back beer and burger joint. Today, the brand has grown into a sophisticated yet casual dining experience.

START WITH DRINKS
Earls is a repeat offender of fun starting in the bar. The innovative cocktail menu is crafted by Beverage Director, Cameron (Cam) Bogue who has been shaking up the bar menu for Earls since 2008. Cam joined Earls after working with the renowned, Michelin-starred Chef Daniel Boulud. His innate sense of adventure and curiosity makes him a natural behind the bar where he has collaborated with other famous bartenders to cultivate Earls cocktail menu and earn him a place among North America’s most well known beverage directors. Earls featured an Old Fashioned menu with 6 smart takes on the classic cocktail accompanied by “new classics” of the Whiskey Sour, Moscow Mule and Paper Plane. House specialties are Frozen Pink Lemonade (just in time for summer in Texas) and Absinthe Minded. The beer list includes a selection of local craft and not-so-local beers. Legacy West will see evolving wine offerings curated by Earls Corporate Sommelier David Stansfield, who is based in Vancouver and is known for his wit and keen understanding of the wine experience.

DINING DIFFERENTIATORS
Earls motto of “Eat A Little, Eat A Lot,” invites guests to truly explore the menu from the Happiest Hour to the iconic globally inspired influences found in Earls signature dishes. The Legacy West menu will be led by Head Chef Chris Memme who brings Earls North American favorites to Plano but tailored with a local Texas twist. An Earls signature meal could easily start with the shareable Avocado Super Toast followed by the West Coast Ahi Tuna Salad, entrée of Steak & Sushi ending with classic Coconut Cream Pie. Or for an edible globe trot, try the Bibimbap, Jeerra Chicken Curry or a large selection of Sushi & Raw including the Dragon Roll and Spicy Tuna Press. Going back to Earls simple, laid back roots, the menu features Queso Fundido Dip, Cajun Chicken (unlike anything found in the South!) and BBQ Ribs. Earls takes beef seriously. The menu includes a stellar collection of Black Angus steaks and Burgers. Earls is committed to conscious food sourcing including certified sustainable seafood, fresh free-run chicken and cage-free eggs. Earls proudly serves Creekstone Black Angus Beef raised without antibiotics, steroids or added hormones and fed a 100% Vegetarian diet. At Legacy West in a nod to Texas tradition, the menu will feature a 14 ounce Black Angus rib eye from Texas’ 44 Farms in Cameron, Texas.

Not to overlook the popular trend of weekend brunch, Chef Chris Memme and his team fire up perfect combinations of savory and sweets with plenty of indulgent bites like Strawberry + Cream Waffles, Chorizo + Mushroom Hash, Avocado Super Brunch, Eggs Benedict, Steak +Eggs, Fried Chicken + Waffles and sips of Earls Signature Bloody Mary, Frozen White Peach Lemonade Mimosa and to share ½ off bottles of sparkling wine and the famous Party Mimosa (bottle of Prosecco + Carafe of Juice).

Any meal or late night visit is not complete without Earls Famous Sticky Toffee Chocolate Pudding, Strawberry Cheesecake or Gold Digger (just try it!).
