Circle Grill

The place is not very sanitary and the prices are outrageous for a diner. I got a scrambled eggs, hash browns, toast and orange juice and paid almost $ 15. the worst part was the customer service and not to mention the food came out cold. imagine cold eggs!!! at the cashier they were upset and fraustrated because i couldnt wait 30 more minutes to give me my ticket. I would not recommend this place to anyone!

Skillet breakfast and #2 breakfast with bacon, eggs, grits and pancakes are winners! Not too many substitution options available but the servers are nice. Be prepared for café set up with a whole bunch of elders staring you up side the head, but overall great place to dine

I was visiting some family members in November 2015 and they took me to the Circle Grill for lunch because it has long been one of their favorite restaurants in Dallas.
The Texas fried chicken, sauteed veggies and cornbread were delicious! I would definitely eat here again.

Breakfast is the bomb. One of the few places you can go on Sunday with a family of 6 and have no wait due to the big booths, banquet space and quick wait staff. Quick with the coffee, always smiling. A real family diner. We will make it a regular stop!

It was super delicious!!! Our waitress was great! Service and food were just awesome!!!

Wow, this place is good. Legitimate 4-​star, bordering on five, and that’s judging on many years of diners across the country — and currently living in what may be the best city for diners on the planet, Chicago. We had two of the skillets, which were outstanding. Biscuits, eggs, coffee all exactly like they should be. Great, friendly service even on Christmas Eve Morning.
We’ll be back the next time we are through Dallas.

This is what you want a diner to be – actually, it may be a little lighter and cleaner than you want a diner to be.
Greatness w/​breakfast: its the only meal I’ve had here (but have had it a few times). Here’s the tip: whether it comes with your meal or not, ask for a side of the salsa verde. It seems to be made fresh and whatever you spoon it onto becomes instantly even better than it was before!
Otherwise, Circle Grill is as solid a diner as you’ll ever visit! Highly recommend – it is a little difficult to access being on the northwest «corner» of I-​30 and Buckner. You’ll figure it out though. Happy Eating!

Just trying out new restaurant, the food here is not that great, I dint see a difference it felt like i was eating TV dinner, we’ll I paid for premium food but got something I can just buy at the same Walmart for a fraction of the price =/​. it get 1 Star for freindly staff. It lacks taste it feel like my beef was just salt added, may it the chef’s of the day I’LL try again in the future if it improves maybe I’ll raise some stars.

Tuna sandwich and fries. Kinda of expensive but good. 13.00 with tea. This place has been here for years. They’re doing something right.

Had not been here in years. Couldn’t wait to have their fried chicken and honey! What a disappointment. ½ a breast and a wing… fried to a crisp and I mean latterly a crisp. so dry could hardly eat it. greens and potatoes were good. Their prices have gone way up for ½ a breast a wing, greens and mashed potatoes it was $ 11.00
My sister had 2 eggs, bacon, hash browns and pancake (they charge $ 0.50 for each egg on their breakfast plates because of the egg crisis!)
For both meals it was $ 21.58 and neither of us had anything to drink other than water!
Won’t go back Not nearly as good as it used to be… so sorry.

Circle grill is not what I enjoyed previously. Amy last visit was a couple of years ago, when someone, from my past, started an argument, and then assaulted me, right in the restaurant. I warned him that I keep my personal protection on me at all times and he persisted. He repeatedly came back and forth to my table, and then staff did nothing! he started saying that I threatened bis life. This was typical of this drama queen! you wouldn’t have needed to use my friend on him„ but find making others aware that I don’t play high school games, is much more beneficial than arguments with irrational idiots. once he and his ex left together, I lad for what they had ordered, and tipped the waitress heavily, while explaining the history of the situation. a I wen in for a meal a few days later and was attacked verbally by the waitress I had dearly loved and she absolutely threatened my life, between the f. bombs, and g.d. this and that. I told my husband it was time to leave, said goodbye to the staff x and paid NY bill. I would say that this was the worst handling of a situation I have ever before involved in, and I am almost 49!
I would not

Apparently my roast beef comes in squares. I wished I could prove it with a pic. Was also supposed to come with roasted potatoes, NOT! Some cooked and some still hard boiled. Carrots were great, haha! The whole mess came with gravy completely covering it all. Sort of beef stew on a plate. So disappointed since I came reminiscing about the good old days. Oh and there is no special flavor to this $ 11 disaster. CG lost me!

Back again cause the food is so good. But I just can’t believe how proud they are of their food

I visited the Circle Grill for the first time and was really pleasantly surprised. I don’t eat a lot for breakfast so I often opt for Eggs Benedict and I am thrilled to report that CG did not let me down – I’d go as far to say that they’re the best poached eggs I’ve had to date. It’s a simple dish, but simple dishes can go wrong. Fortunately for me and my taste buds, that wasn’t the case here. The yolk was perfectly creamy, paired with a delicious pile of ham on a soft and toasty English muffin. I opted for a side of fruit instead of the potatoes and it was fresh and flavorful.
For a Sunday morning, the place was hoppin’, but there was plenty of seating and there were many large groups of families. This is more of a sit down and relax kind of place (read: orders don’t come out very fast, but that gives you time to visit with the folks you’re having breakfast with, right?).
Overall, I really enjoyed dining here and I’m looking forward to coming back for some more of those delicious eggs.

This our 1^st time here. The atmosphere is great. It’s a diner style restaurant. April our waitress was extraordinary. She was kind and knowledgable. She gave her recommendations. Service was attentive and great. Coffee was great. I ordered a spinach mushroom Swiss omelette with hash browns and biscuits and gravy. Omelette tasted great with extra cheese which I love! The biscuits were fluffy and the gravy was divine. The hash browns were overcooked, too crispy for my preference. My husband ordered a chicken fried steak with pinto beans and green beans as a side and a cornbread and roll. The steak was amazing! Very juice chicken paired with the gravy was like heaven in my mouth. Lol However I think heaven might be better lol green beans had good flavor and the beans were ok. The cornbread and roll were tasty and fluffy. My husband also ordered the coconut crème pie which he devoured. I’m not of fan of coconut but he really enjoyed the dessert. Overall I highly recommend you check this place out. There are mostly older folk here but it’s comfy quiet place to have some nice lunch.

Great service good breakfast food. I can’t comment on lunch or dinner since I only come here for breakfast. Décor is outdated but that doesn’t bother me I’m there for food not for interior designing ideas. :)
Food– I ordered the farmland skillet. It was soooo good. Plenty of it to share with another person. Biscuits and gravy are good. Coffee nice and hot.

I have lived in Dallas all of my life, 56 years and the servers at Circle Grill are all
Ways consistent no matter who you get. The food is always good. They truly have the best breakfast in town. You can’t beat the migas. I don’t know what this other reviewer is saying, she must be from another planet. The Circle is awesome.

Ugh! I’ve been dragging my feet trying to avoid writing this because I really really hate writing bad reviews.
My favorite places to eat are Mom & Pop restaurants that have been a mainstay in the area for years and years. There’s got to be a reason for that right? Most of the time it’s because the owner really loves the business and has some real down home specialties on their menu. The kind of specials that draw people in. I use to work for a restaurant like that. We had a cook, but our owner Joe use to make the soups and add his own touches to the food that made eating there special. So my disappointment after reading so many great reviews has been unexplainable.
First off it was Friday evening, the senior crowd had most likely eaten early and were settling into bed by 7 pm, so the place was not too busy. I was seated and got the specials. I decided on pot roast, thinking I would get a savory melt in your mouth piece of meat with potatoes and carrots. When I ordered I was told I could choose one other vegetable and I was about to choose carrots but the waitress told me that the pot roast had carrots maybe I might like something else? So I chose corn. When my meal came the waitress put it down and ran off to do other things. I sat there a good 5 to 10 trying to catch her attention because I had no silverware to eat with. By the time she finally got them my dinner was lukewarm but the worst was yet to come. While I sat waiting for my silverware I noticed that the gravy was an odd pinkish gray color and somewhat transparent like it was made with corn starch it didn’t look very appetizing and I found out it tasted like paste, salt just made it taste like salty paste. The first bite of the pot roast and I almost spit it out. How can anyone serve pot roast from a can in a restaurant without doctoring it up with a little garlic and bay leaf? Geez! The potatoes were also out of a can as well as the corn, the carrots that come with the pot roast were almost non existent one piece about a half inch long and a chip of another piece. For what I paid I could have opened the cans at home and done a better job at doctoring the inedible mess and fed 20 people. Except for the silverware incident the staff was very nice, a woman who was not my waitress brought me some corn bread and when I noticed the one single serving of butter looked like someone had put their thumb in it she cheerfully got me a whole plate of individual butter «like» spread. I was somewhat dismayed that the spread was made of canola oil which is a fancy word for rapeseed a poisonous plant that when eaten will strip the shield off your nerves, oh fun, and people believe when the FDA tells them it’s healthy!
Only one other thing bothered me and this is not the restaurants fault, but I just feel like I need to say this. As a widow I often eat alone. I can’t tell you what I would give to have my husband sit across from me and eat a meal and what joy it would bring. Which brings me to what was so sadly annoying. An older couple came in and sat behind me. From the time they sat down the woman could not stop playing Candy Crush on her phone. Yeah I know the sound well and I play too. She would look at the menu then go back to playing, the waitress had to wait for her to finish while her husband had already ordered, then she stopped for a moment and went back to playing. This woman didn’t put that damn thing down for the whole meal and we could all hear the sounds from her phone. But the really sad part was that her poor husband sat there with no one to talk to. I looked over and caught his eye and smiled sympathetically and everything in the fiber of my being wanted to go over to that woman and tell her how lucky she was to have her husband sitting across from her at that moment, except that I was almost ready to cry. So if you just can’t put that cell phone down when someone you love is sitting right across from you, just think what it might be like if they were to die tonight, would you still find your phone more interesting?

Neon yellow vinyl seats and leaf-​print wallpaper. A flashback to diners of yore, this is a retirement home for hungry geriatrics. They’re working here and eating here. This is where people go to work, or to have breakfast and lunch, just minutes before they die.
The chicken-​fried steak was acceptable. Solid 3 stars. Not much else around here — be glad you found this.

Great breakfast, reasonable prices.

Entering Circle Grill is like stepping back to a time not so long ago when going out to eat was a treat rather than a necessity. Sure, it’s diner food not haute cuisine, but they wait on you and you don’t have to pick up your order at the counter.
Décor is old school as is the service. Attentive waitresses, food that satisfies deep down, and a check that won’t break the bank.
While I’ve only had breakfast there, I can say that it is both solid and tasty. And they do hash browns the way they ought to be done. They even offer them deep fried but my cardiologist forbids me to order them.
Week end mornings can fill the parking lot. But if you can find a parking spot, you’ll get your meal in a jiffy.
