Great fast food I ordered a triple cheeseburger and it wasn't clobbered with grease like I was expecting. Really good taste and toppings excellent interior and our server was super friendly would recommend going in when they aren't super busy!
Retro little drive through with good burger fries & shakes
The Circle: A Refreshingly Efficient and Delicious Experience As someone who travels for work about 40 weeks a year, I can confidently say I have never experienced the speed and attentiveness of service like I did at The Circle. Their short menu is a testament to the quality of their food—they do what they do, and they do it exceptionally well. I can personally attest to this; the hula burger and blackberry shake were both delicious and an excellent value. The cleanliness of the place was also noteworthy. The counters, tables, and kitchen areas were all spotless. But what I found most refreshing was their approach to payment. By handling the bill at the counter upfront, they eliminate the need to track down a server, making the entire dining experience incredibly smooth and efficient. Keep doing what you're doing, The Circle. You've nailed a formula that works. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a quick, delicious, and hassle-free meal.
Staff (Alex) I believe is his name was attentive friendly and our shakes were so yummy!!! Mixed to the perfect consistency.
Great nostalgic feeling. Burger was lighter than I expected which was refreshing. Fries were perfectly crisp. Ill be back for sure
A delicious Cowboy burger, and the service was friendly and attentive—you can really tell they are good people. If I were passing through the area again, I would definitely come back.
Great service by Willow at a very nice diner. Decor was great. 4 different types of burgers and all tasted awesome. Went back on 4/10/2022 and still really good burgers. Love the krinkle cut fries.
The burgers we had were so good, and a peanut butter shake 😋 perfect Diner food with the old Coke cola feel
What a cool place! We just got into town for 4 days for a horse show and we decided to stop in for lunch. Atmosphere is awesome. Very clean. Waitress was fast and attentive. Food was excellent! My daughter only wants to go here for the remainder of the trip, haha.
Stopped here to get a bite to eat heading home from Alamedas in Hot Springs MT. Walked in and felt like I walked back in time has a 50's soda fountain vibe decor. Ordered 2 deluxe cheeseburgers with fries all for $17.00 what a deal. The burger was very good and fries, the FRIES oh my they were krinkle fries cooked to golden almost light brown. And they stayed hot/warm for at least 10 minutes, and the tarter sauce is unbelievably tasty. If you ever drive thru Plains MT stop in at the Circle you won't be disappointed.
