Great experience here for lunch. The food was delicious and the staff were attentive. Definitely will be back as Burlington has been lacking a lunch spot of this quality.

Very busy night so a little noisy. The quality of the food and service, however, was not diminished by the fact that they were super busy. Top notch, as usual.

I went for lunch with a friend to BoVines. Recommend it. We shared gyoza dumplings, then each had a different kind of wagyu burger, with a side. Delicious. Reasonably priced too.

Our server Emily R was remrkable. Very attentive, helpful, friendly, smiley, courteous and just downright genuine, polite and the main reason for the high scores. The food was very good but seems overpriced. It would be beneficial to insert some noise reduction padding. Your highest score on the survey meant "energetic" as in a positive wheras it was hard to have conversation (a negative experience) because it was quite loud.

My fiancee and I went to Earls for our anniversary and it was so special, the service was exceptional, and the food came out timely and delicious. We had the yuzu calamari as our appetizer and it was cooked to perfection! So tender and juicy. For our entrees we both got the 9oz steaks; whoever made them really knows how to cook! It was buttery smooth and seasoned with just the right amount. Overall a 10/10 experience.

Paying the bill was a chore, machine didn’t work properly. Had to get second machine. Floor manager never asked about anything either.
