Called for pizza got put on hold and forgotten about so my husband drove to town and ordered. When he picked up the food part of the order was forgotten. He was told part of the order would be comp due to mix up but was charged full price and the celery that comes with the wings was dirty. This is not the first time our order was incomplete when we picked it up but after giving them many chances we will now be ordering pizza somewhere else.

Stopped on a trip down to New York City. Very glad we stopped. Service was great and friendly. We went right as they were closing and they were very accommodating and didn’t rush us. The food was good too! Prices were reasonable and serving sizes were awesome. We will definitely go back if we’re in the area.

Just an average diner, nothing too great, but meets the needs when traveling etc.

Hit the Circle E up on the way home from a road trip. Start with its not an easy off/easy on from the NY Quickway. Service was a little slow for a mostly empty diner at 230 in the afternoon on a Sunday. There was plenty of staff available not dealing with the few patrons seated. Onto the food. I did a bacon cheeseburger(diner staple right?) I got a greasy burger with barely melted cheese and two pieces of bacon. One was slightly undercooked and cold. The other was burned nearly beyond recognition. The other meal at the table was a turkey club with fries. I didn’t try the club, but the review was positive. The fries were properly cooked. She got gravy with the fries — the bowl was a congealed tasteless brown blob with the consistency of chocolate pudding. Overall, I’d say hit the diner in Roscoe or Liberty instead.

Had lunch at Circle E diner after dropping my daughter off at French Woods Camp. The egg salad sandwich was wonderful and the ingredients were all fresh. I was pleasantly surprised. It is a diner and therefore the atmosphere is charming and not elegant however I greatly enjoyed the quaint, relaxed feel.

A good place to stop and eat if you’re on the way somewhere else. I got the chicken tenders and my bf got the chicken salad club. Everything was cooked perfectly and the fries and bacon were crispy. Friendly service, cheap prices, what more do you need?

Within a mile of the highway. Fast, friendly service. We got egg salad BLT and chicken salad BLT sandwiches. They were double-deckers! Fresh, tasty ingredients. French fries were golden fried and crispy. Not at all oily. Very nicely done. Would return any time.

I like this place. But I came early in the day(7:30 am) recently and have to say it was very lackadaisical service. Slow. The waitress was busy discussing personal things with her friends as they stopped by. They were out of things too(as in breakfast meats). I had pancakes and they were ok. What I wanted was poached eggs and bacon. But they were out of bacon, so I had to adjust. I’ll stop here again but not early in the am. I think they are too busy catching up on «current events», by which I mean whatever happened last night etc. Taking personal calls. Customers walk into the kitchen to say hello. I won’t be back before lunch time. Let them get the personal things out of the way so they can focus on customers and food. Loosing a star because it just was not as good as when Ive been after 11 am. And a diner should be a place you can«count on». Parking was easy for me this time of day, but it has been a challenge later in the day, so its«hit or miss» in a sense. Worth it if you are in the area. Just be mindful early in the day.

I was on a road trip in NY and decided to stop for lunch and a break. Ordered the Circle E burger with mushrooms, bacon, and cheese. Burger was absolutely delicious; one of the best I’ve had actually. I was surprisingly pleased. Loses one star because it definitely has that«small town» diner feel in that I felt like an outsider. The servers and cooks came out and were visiting with the tables and talking to each other but conversation with me was limited to the food. Don’t get me wrong; I don’t want to be chatted up during my whole lunch, but I felt very awkward while the place yelled across tables and laughed with each other and stared at me like«who’s that chick?»

Excellent food and service! I LOVED this place. My friends and I were headed home from a weekend in PA and needed to find a diner to get some breakfast and/or lunch. We ended up here by chance — it wasn’t too far off the highway. WOW. am I glad that we found this place! Our waitress was a gem! I wish I knew her name so I could give her a shout out! But everyone there was friendly to my group of 5NYC slickers LOL. The area has a nice small town feel to it, so we weren’t sure how they would take to us loud NY’ers. They were awesome! My friends and I ordered like we had never eaten before… and EVERYTHING was awesome. Fried mushrooms… A MUST!!! They were to die for. The fried cauliflower was also delicious. but if you eat mushrooms. they definitely beat out the cauliflower. Both were delicious. The bacon and sausage… YUMMMMMMM…the scrambled eggs were nice and fluffy. If I’m ever in the area again… I’m definitely stopping by!

I dont give out 5 stars too frequently, heck none of us should. Cuz lets be honest, if everyone is a 5 star… then NOONE is a 5 star! I am sure my social-scientist liberal friends would have an opinion or two about that but we’ll save those rants cocktail parties, shall we? The reason I am giving 5 stars to Circle E is for the coveted«X-Factor»! Now for those who dont know what I am talking about, the X-Factor is that special pinch of magic, that wonderful variable that kicks the whole equation over the top. Its the intangible element so crucial to a human experience whose impact ultimately results in a mass far greater than the sum of its parts. The X-Factor is what makes The Circle E anything but another diner in the Upper Delaware Region. The Circle E epitomizes authenticity, honesty, care, concern, consistency and hospitality. This is a place that would be just fine delivering burgers that didn’t suck, and ice cream sundays. Heck there’s like one other restaurant up there so its not like they are trying to differentiate themselves. These people deliver exquisite dishes, generous portions, rich deep flavors, entirely unique elements and composition for one reason alone… they love it and they just want you to leave happy! My fellow Unilocalers, you and I both know that is all too rare a reality amongst eateries today. Do yourself a favor and dont order typical when you visit the Circle E, go for the chef’s specials; Parmesan Breaded Encrusted Tilapia, Pork Dumplings, Artichoke Grilled Pesto Chicken and Tortellini and on and on and on. If you just want a tuna fish sandwich and fries you’ll be fine but take full advantage of the depth, flavor, and spirit these folks so obviously throw into their work. I dont know how or why but this is one overwhelmingly typical diner delivering entirely atypical cuisine

See my review of Bluestone Grill, and you’ll understand why we appreciated Circle E so much. After a lousy experience at Bluestone, we drove past Circle E and saw lots of happy people parking, entering and eating. We were delighted by the staff, and truly appreciated a menu filled with diner fare along with a list of organic, local vegetarian dishes including Baked quinoa with roasted vegetables. The meal was great and what was lacking in ambiance was well made for in friendly and attentive service. This neighborhood joint was filled with friends of the owners along with people in town to visit their kids at camp. Skip the snooty, over-priced Bluestone Grill and have a great meal at Circle E!

There was so much hype surrounding Circle E when I went to French Woods a few years back – possibly because we were all so incredibly sick of the same old boring camp food that it was a breath of fresh air to leave camp in hopes of better food granted it were from a roadside diner. My bunk was unfortunately not one of those who won any of the clean-up contests so we never were rewarded with a meal at Circle E; however, en route back home from camp, my family and I stopped here(as did a few other camp families, but not together), and from what I remember, it was pretty decent, but nothing special. Whatever, there’s really not much to Hancock except French Woods anyway.
