"I absolutely love going to the Circle Diner to eat. It takes me about 20 minutes from my place to get there. The bacon pimento cheeseburger +chilli is my favorite go to. Stop on in and give them a try just check times or call before going it is well worth the trip."

"I went during lunchtime on a Wednesday. They were very busy with in and out customers but stayed on top of everything. No one complained about anything. The food was quick and very good. The homemade chips are much better than any french fry. The menu is simple, but everything is delicious"

"I am super pleased to have found this gem. I swooped in from the circle and so glad I did! My burger and fries were excellent and as I was thoroughly entertained by all the antique signs on the walls. The food and atmosphere was great but honestly the service was even better. I was even offered a soda refill to-go! You can tell they really care."

"Friend swung in for lunch and surprised me with an order of fried pickles! Breading was minimal (perfect) and flavor was great. Ranch had good flavor but definitely too thin; be prepared to wear it while traveling to your mouth."

"When my wife and I are on vacation, we enjoy buying and eating local. Yesterday we stopped at the Circle Diner.Never judge a book by its cover, outside it's an everyday building, but inside is where everything changes. A direct throwback to the diners of old, from the tables and chairs to all of the nostalgic signs that lined the walls. We were immediately greeted and seated, we ordered our food and it was back to our table in no time, faster than we thought because the place was so busy inside, and the phone kept ringing with take out orders. Our food was delicious, my wife had the hamburger and fries and I had the fried chicken sandwich with wing chips. We loved the food, her Hamburger was perfectly cooked and she loved the hand cut fries, my chicken sandwich was so crispy and tender and I loved the house sauce they used. Our waitress was phenomenal and so sweet.The price was really good for the food we had, so we will definitely be back to the Circle Diner"
