They used to have rly good chicken tenders but they switched the type of tenders and now i don't go :( I miss the old tendies bring them back read more

Ge used his bare hands to flatten out the wax paper, then used his bare hand to pick up my danish. No thank you!! Use to be a favorite, but cannot eat at circle diner ever again read more

Just had lunch there and will not go back. My friend had a salad that consisted "mostly" of wilted lettuce and spinach, terrible! My Greek veg sandwich was dry and tasteless and the cole slaw taste like it came from a bucket, definitely not homemade. The waitress was very nice and gave us good service, the food however, forget it. read more

How long does it take to make chicken tenders? This is what we found ourselves wondering during our visit to Circle Diner. Everyone has certain expectations when they go to a diner, and those are probably not going to be met to the fullest at Circle. I've been to Circle several times in the past few years, and I've never really left happy. I've learned that the food isn't the greatest, but the milkshakes are up to par. Last night I went there specifically for a milkshake. They were good; however, the waitress brought us two hot glasses to pour them into. This melted them and made them less than what I was hoping for. The thing was $5 so I kind of feel like it could have at least been cold. The biggest disappointment of the night was when we tried to order food from the kids menu. We weren't there for a meal, and wanted an appetizer of chicken tenders to share. We noticed that the kid's portion came with fries, so that's what we asked for. The waitress dashed our dreams and told us we weren't allowed to order from the kid's menu. Actually what she really said was, "Sorry, I'm not allowed to serve the kid's menu to people under 12." We're assuming by her tone that she meant the opposite. However, I don't know how she was so sure of our ages. She didn't card us. We gave in and ordered the appetizer chicken tenders. They took a while to come, and when they did we were not impressed. McDonald's is better, faster, and you don't even have to get out of your car. The fries were ok, but nothing out of the ordinary. Another minor problem is the fact that there is bad service at Circle. 3G was the best I could get. God forbid you want to tweet about your experience. Overall Circle is a place you can't go to with any kind of expectations. It's the kind of place you go to when someone else really wants to, and you aren't in the mood to argue about it. read more

We were visiting from North Carolina and chose the diner for breakfast My whole family was very pleased. Perfect eggs, hash browns, crispy bacon, and good service. We went back for more the next day! read more

Mashed potatoes from a box and meatloaf paste. Actually the matza ball soup was good, and the milkshake, too. But over all hit the golden arches across the street. read more

We never had a bad meal or experience until tonight. Rude waitress, long wait and our server told us that another waitress stole our food so we waited and waited. I was so upset that I could not eat. We will not go back and we had gone there for years! read more

excellent service, food was delicious, actually got my over medium eggs right, brought hot sauce with my sandwich AND asked numerous times if we needed refill on coffee...clean bathrooms too! You won't be disappointed with this diner read more

Used to come to this diner religiously ..always loved the matzoh ball soup. Got it last night and it was luke warm, tasted like it had multiple lemons in it and had a 2inch hair floating in the broth (not mine or my husbands). The bacon on my BLT was extremely dry and seemed like it was cooked the day before and left out. I get that restaurants do what they need to do to save money or products or whatever, but customers who dine at any time of day should get the same quality of food. And, it takes two seconds to put a hair net on ...I get that hair in food probably happens more often than we'd like to think but when it happens in your food it's pretty gross... read more

Even for diner standards, not good. If you want a decent diner, we like the Apollo down the road.

As a diner-lover, I could not wait to try this place out. I was so incredibly disappointed by the food and service. The service was quick to seat you, but the second it is time to order, or better yet get your check, it's like you're invisible or your server is no where to be found. The food is nothing special either. I've had both their breakfast and lunch. The eggs tend to get cooked for than asked and if your order gets complicated-forget it. They don't write it down. You will likely get nothing close to what you ordered. read more

Food is always tasty when I go to the Circle. I like how clean and new it is compared to other area diners. My favorite is the French Onion Soup. They have perfected it. Just like any other diner, there is something for everyone. read more

As far as diners go, this place is great. Always great service, incredibly family-friendly, and decent food. Definitely not your typical greasy spoon. Probably the best diner in Fairfield County. read more

Good local diner. It has a surprisingly large selection of items on their menu. Great place for little kids, as are most diners. Nothing at this restaurant stands out, but overall, it's a good quality restaurant. read more

The Circle Diner is an above average diner in Fairfield, very close to the Bridgeport border. If you are driving along I-95, it is an easy to stop for some good grub. The breakfasts are great, sandwiches are good and I am sure dinner time is good as well. Their staff is very friendly and it is easy to see why they have so many regulars in an inviting space. read more

We had breakfast here today and the diner was chaotic. We waited 10 minutes for a waiter and we waited another 30 minutes for our food to come out. In addition, the food was cold and not good. I'm going to give this diner one more chance because I have enjoyed this place in the past. But I was very disappointed today. read more

I have spent the morning exploring the Connecticut coast line and then looked for a place for lunch. I stopped at this "diner" thinking that I would have another breakfast. After reviewing the menu I thought that I would have panini, or a regular sandwich, but after turning the pages, I decided on the broiled scallops. It came with soup or salad, so I got the French onion soup. It was one of the best onion soups which I have ever had. Great service and great meal. read more

Slow service......very pricey for breakfast. Omelet was dry and home fries were awful!

This is a great family friendly spot for breakfast lunch or dinner. The staff is always welcoming and service is speedy. We've been coming here since they opened and are weekly regulars. read more

Better than usual diner food. Cheese blintzes are amazing. Crepes are made on location. Didn't have anything that tasted like it came from the freezer. Gone back a couple of times on my visit here. read more

Staff is fighting and it shows. They look miserable and distracted. The food is usually fresh and tasty, lunch or breakfast. The coffee isn't that. read more

Service: Good, waitress seemed to go "through the motions" of service I guess. Food: Below average. Omelette was dry and I probably could've cooked something better. Coffee tasted burnt and very mediocre Also, the final bill was fairly pricey. I will not be returning for breakfast, maybe will give lunch a chance sometime. read more

Modern, clean diner with solid service. Food is tasty. Tends to get very crowded during peak times but wait isn't too bad.

It is a diner with diner food. They did have great tomatoes with the egg white and turkey bacon sandwich... Overall exactly what I would expect. Good. read more

Solid diner spot. I'm pretty sure it's owned by the mob (at least that's what I've heard). But the food here is pretty good. Wish they were open later read more

Decided to give this diner a try as it's pretty close to my home. It's seems like it's either apart or affiliated with a nearby hotel. The place is pretty big and has many tables. Food and service is ok, nothing special. For locals, If I were to compare, it's better than Duches but not as good as Chip's family restaurant. read more

The food is delicious and this establishment has the best home fries of any diner in the Bridgeport-Fairfield area. The atmosphere is a modern-take on the 1950s. Very laid back and cool. read more

I really like this spot. The service is consistently friendly, the food is really tasty and fresh, and the location is really convenient. You have to try the home fries! So delish! read more

Average diner fare here. Nothing too spectacular. Chili fries are delicious and have a nice kick to them. Service here is alright. 15 minutes to get my soda or a coffee refill? No thanks. Came in during the early dinner hours and all the waitstaff is either standing around or yelling at someone in the kitchen. read more

Clean, bright and friendly however the food left something to be desired. Take a bite of a sandwich on the special menu and your left thinking to yourself...its bland...should I add honey mustard? Some Balsamic dressing? eh...after two or three tries I give up. I would not recommend this dinner. read more

This place is horrible the owners yell at their staff out in the open... their dishes are horribly dirty ....the glasses feel like kitty litter...the plate I have had someone else's egg yolk on it because I didn't even order eggs..too much money for dirty dishes and nasty food read more

This is a solid diner with a lot of options and overall good meals. What I enjoy, is that the staff is super friendly and makes great suggestions that always impress. I love their breakfast options and their eggs bene is always a good choice. read more

Bright and clean with classic diner aesthetics. Greek salad was mediocre: the lettuce looked old and like they'd scraped the bottom of the tub (tiny, hard-to-stab pieces). The dressing was just a regular balsamic - nothing to write home about. The spanakopita was better: hot, crisp and flavorful. For a Greek salad, I would go to Penny's II on Black Rock Turnpike any day. read more

WARNING!!! Never again in my life will i return. And i hope you don't you either! My family and i came here for a late breakfast. No one was in here. But our food took over 30 minutes. We all ordered pancakes and they came out hard as a rock. The waitress told us she wasn't a pancake expert or the cook she just takes orders when we made a complaint to remake them. My scrambled eggs had egg shells all in them and the turkey bacon was burnt to a crisp it looked like beef jerky. They made my mom and grandmothers pancakes twice and didn't come out any better. We heard them arguing from our table all the way in the kitchen. The waitress could care less. When we went to pay my mom made a complaint to the manager to tell her how terrible our experience was and she could care less too. Wasn't even concerned at why our meal was soooo bad!!! We weren't even charged for one of the meals and the eggs and bacon and two pancakes with orange juice came up to $31. Waste of money. No compensation. No apology. WANTED: NEW CHEFS NEW MANAGEMENT NEW WAITERS. This place is going under. Used to enjoy it. See ya! read more

The greatest diner in the USA. Excellent food and service, home style cooking with a huge menu. Living three years in Fairfield and eating at the Circle regularly, I never had anything but a great meal. read more

This place is pretty nice. I always get over easy eggs with bacon and fries, and it's the best breakfast possible The menu has a variety of options, and the service is not only quick but high quality. In fact, for 2-3 people, you'll be in and out of there within 40 minutes. Good place read more

Basic rule of hospitality industry is to be polite and make the dining experience pleasant. The server made a mistake in order which I pointed out after paying the bill and tipping. The girl at the front desk just showed so much attitude as to imply it was my mistake that I ordered wrong (repeat - and this is after I had already paid the bill). Food here is same quality as any other Diner. Not coming back here for a while now. Used to come here with my friends once in a while but will be going with them somewhere else for sure. read more

This is probably the best diner in Fairfield County. Literally everything I have had here has been good and their french fries are always super crispy which is a plus! Their chicken souvlaki is the best I have ever had! read more

Standard diner fare. Enjoyed the garden egg white omelet, home fries well done, and a coffee.

For a diner, they're everything they should be with nice service. Better than average diner food. French toast and blintzes exceptional.
