I've been to the Circle drive in twice now ( I know, for such a staple I can't believe I haven't been there more either) and both times were a great experience! Be forewarned that they are cash only and have an ATM on site. All you have to do is park and your food is ordered through your window and brought to you the same way. Such an easy concept. The people working are also a joy even in these winter weather mishaps. The banana split is something to be marveled at and I love that they have the red weenie hot dogs, those are my favorite. I'll definitely be visiting more now that I know how quick and yummy it is! read more

Circle Drive In - Banana split sans banana - Restaurants Near Me - Eden, North Carolina

Parked and waited. The lady waited on 2 card that parked after me. So I left and will not be back.

I love Circle Drive and come from out of town to eat here. I visited today and was going to order a milkshake with my food but by the very vocal, physical and negative response from the larger girl with dyed blonde hair in her 30's, I decided not to. She made clear that she had a lot of ice cream and stuff to make already for other people and I shouldn't order one.....Disappointing. I've honestly never been talked out of ordering something at a restaurant because the employee was too busy... read more

In their window, the Circle Drive In displays a framed certificate claiming that they have the best hot dog in Rockingham County. They don't. A certificate they DO deserve is one for greasiest fries in the Greater Piedmont Triad. And beyond. Possibly the world. See my photos if you don't believe me. The hot dog (pink) is average and bland as are the all the way toppings. The burger had a decent taste and crisp toppings, but it appeared to have been cooked hours earlier and it was a little dry and dense. Sweet tea was average. Also, be aware that this is a true drive-in-- no table service. And while it was a very hot day, my server did not seem exactly thrilled to be there-- not even when I gave her a thirty percent tip. So I would steer clear of this drive in. By the way, the best hot dog in Rockingham County and beyond (in my opinion) can be found in Johnson's Family Grill in Madison. read more

Circle Drive In - Look at the grease oozing out of the fry. And the grease deposit left after just 3 minutes on napkin. - Restaurants Near Me - Eden, North Carolina

Old style drive in with curb service or take out window only - worn and a little shabby, but serves decent food quickly. The chili dog is good, not great - chili is thin and a little weak, and has that pale brown color of so many thin chilis. Southern wiener and nice, soft bun. Cheeseburger was solid, if not spectacular. This is a thin patty burger, with some good flavor. The Chopped BBQ is commercially prepared, so I'd skip it. Not a bad place for a quick bite. read more

Good hotdogs and fries if you want a greasy snack and couldn't care less about presentation. It isn't pretty food, but I don't think that's what they're going for. Friendly, fast service. Very reasonable pricing. Consistently tasty junk food. read more

Now THIS is 'Old Skool' 50's-style automotive drivie-in dining at it's best. Funky building and you have to eat in your vehicle. The hotdogs are great and their corndogs are simply AWESOME! Don't forget the fries which are crinkle cut and very crispy. These folks change out their grease often as it's more than apparent in the flavor. Very good prices too boot. Highly recommended amigos. read more

The real deal - old skool drive-in restaurant complete with wait staff coming to your car. I ate here a few times this past weekend while traveling to Eden and loved it. My go-to was their cheeseburger - which was simply amazing. I also highly recommend the milkshakes. I had one of the best strawberry shakes of my life there this weekend, complete with generous chunks of strawberry in it. I'm a big fan; you should be too! read more

I went here tonight and it was horrible. The people that waitress outside are rude, and have attitudes. The bun for my bbq sandwich was really wet, and soggy, the fries were really soft, and soggy too. My fish sandwich tasted like it wasn't fresh, and had been sitting around all night. I will not go back to this place! read more
