Earl of Sandwich Review

Earl of Sandwich: The Vegas Quick-Bite Champion

Nestled in the bustling Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood, Earl of Sandwich stands as a beacon for hungry travelers seeking quality food without the casino restaurant price tag. This isn't your average food court sandwich shop - it's a concept born from 300 years of sandwich history (yes, the Earl's title is legitimate) that delivers consistently satisfying meals in a city known for culinary excess.

Atmosphere & Amenities

The space features a bright, modern design with sandwich-themed historical touches that nod to its aristocratic origins. While primarily counter-service, there's ample seating in both the dedicated dining area and throughout the Miracle Mile Shops. The open kitchen lets you watch as sandwiches are pressed to perfection. Cleanliness is noticeably maintained despite the constant foot traffic.

The Main Event: Sandwiches

The signature Original 1762 (roast beef, cheddar, and horseradish sauce) remains a masterpiece of simplicity - thinly sliced beef with just enough sauce to complement without overwhelming. The Full Montagu (roast beef, turkey, cheddar, Swiss, lettuce, tomato, and mayo) offers a more substantial option that doesn't sacrifice flavor for heft.

What sets Earl apart is their hot sandwich press technique - each sandwich arrives warm throughout with perfectly melted cheese and lightly toasted bread that maintains structural integrity. The bread itself (baked fresh throughout the day) strikes that elusive balance between softness and substance.

Beyond Sandwiches

The menu extends to fresh salads (try the Hawaiian BBQ Salad), wraps, and breakfast sandwiches. Their homemade potato chips are notably crisp and well-seasoned. The dessert selection includes fresh cookies and brownies that far exceed typical fast-food quality.

Service & Efficiency

During peak hours, lines can stretch considerably, but the assembly-line system moves with impressive efficiency. Staff maintain remarkable composure during rushes, though occasional order errors occur when the pace becomes frenetic. Off-peak visits reveal genuinely friendly staff who seem proud of their product.

Value Proposition

In a city where resort pricing often borders on predatory, Earl of Sandwich delivers exceptional value. Most sandwiches range from $7-9, with combo meals (including drink and chips) remaining under $15 - nearly unheard of on the Strip for quality ingredients.

The Verdict

Earl of Sandwich succeeds not by being fancy, but by executing fundamentals exceptionally well. It's the anti-Vegas restaurant that thrives in Vegas precisely because it offers an honest, quality product at a fair price in a location where both are rare.
