We had burgers, fries, onion rings, corny dogs and ice cream cones and they were all delicious!! The owners were so kind and so welcoming...even just gave us ice cream cones when a class of school kids came in so we did not have to stand in line again for ice cream!! We will definitely go again when we are in Murdo. They were so sweet and the food was wonderful! We came out feeling uplifted and so happy we had gone in. read more

So glad I turned off the interstate to try this drive in, it was super clean and well kept and the owners were two of the friendliest people I have met in a long time. I had a bacon cheeseburger that was seasoned perfectly and cooked to perfection, not overdone and dried out like most places. The salad had fresh greens and amazing ranch. Stop in and try this place you won't be disappointed read more

My family and I recently had the opportunity to stop in at this nice little burger joint in South Dakota. We were on the road from Minnesota going to see Mount Rushmore and wasn't sure if there was any place had good quality food along the way as we didn't wanna stop at you, typical fast food chains such as McDonald's or Burger King so we figured we would give this place a try. Overall, the food was phenomenal. Great portions on everything that they have to offer there from the burgers, shakes ,fries ,onion rings ice cream, and even slushy. We got a chance to try all of these items in one after one each item we tried was a home run. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and we were so glad that we made the decision to stop in. The great news is it's not far off of the main highway. Just a few minutes up the road. They have an easy to access drive through and even room to sit inside and outside, but seeing how we were in a rush we just went through the drive-through and got our food and headed off after a few few minutes. The only thing that caught us a little bit off guard was the style in which you order. It's all à la carte so each item is individual and unfortunately that can add up pretty fast so we ended up spinning about $90 three people to eat so that's just something to keep in mind if you are stopping here just be aware. It is a little bit more pricey, but I will say that the food is great and the portion sizes are excellent. read more

Not sure if no one in these reviews has ever had a good burger but there was no mayo or lettuce or tomato I asked if the onion rings were breaded or beer battered I was told breaded but I got beer battered I was so excited to eat here due to the reviews but all I got was a dry over cooked burger read more

My son and I had the best hamburgers and fries at this little place. I've had plenty of hamburgers and these were about the very best. They use high quality grass fed beef, and it results in a fantastic flavor. Fries were hot and fresh. Chocolate shake was delicious. Very nice, clean place with a spotless bathroom. The friendly lady owner even made me a fresh cup of coffee so I could stay awake on the road on our way to Sioux Falls. Don't miss this place if you're driving through Murdo or live in South Dakota. I will stop again on my next trip. Great food and great people. read more

Got there just before closing. Lucky us, as I didn't see anything else around. I went in and ordered burgers and drinks for the hubby and myself. They were very busy and everyone was working hard. It's a family business and the son took my order. Very nice and polite. The place was small but cute, like the hamburger and ice cream place it was. Our food was ready and the hubby & I ate outside as we were traveling with our little mini schnauzer. Our food was great, the flies were horrible. When we were finished, the hubby took our trash and condiments back inside as the family was doing closing stuff. The dad asked about our car and was super nice, as well. If you're looking for lunch, dinner or a sweet ice cream treat, give them your business! read more

First of all, Heather, the co-owner, was super nice. Unfortunately, we didn't get a chance to speak with Chad, co-owner, in the kitchen. He was busy making the best cheeseburger I've eaten in South Dakota. Actually the best cheeseburger I've eaten anywhere for a long, long time. It was thick, it was hot. It was juicy. It was tasty. It was perfect. I ordered mine with pickles, lettuce, onion, and tomato, a hard to beat combination. Even the hamburger bun was really, really great. My wife ordered a grilled cheese sandwich and she talked me into splitting an order of onion rings with her, which was actually a mistake. We should've ordered two orders of onion rings. They were so good.! And I don't know what kind of coffee they serve, but the coffee was absolutely delicious and would be worth stopping for if that's all you wanted!! I'll spread the word to family and friends and we will be back! read more

We stopped through heading from Rapid city to MN and this was by far the BEST BURGER I have ever tasted. very Welcoming Sweet people. Thank you for the great food and service so glad we decided to stop by read more

The food was good; the onion rings were crisp and well-seasoned, the burger, while tasty, was overpriced. I am not a fan of being charged extra for lettuce, pickles and onions those are pretty standard on a burger and should be included. The food took a little while to come out but, they prepare everything fresh so, that's completely understandable. The service was okay, not friendly but not rude either. The beef was good quality, and the portions are not skimpy. Overall, a solid burger but a little pricey. read more

One of the best burgers ever! So fresh and delicious. We were traveling from Badlands NP to Sioux Falls and needed to stop for lunch. The restaurant is close to the highway and an easy quick stop. The staff were welcoming and friendly. We sat outside on the patio. I had the cheeseburger and my husband had the Big Al burger. Both were delicious. We shared a small fry and had plenty leftover. Very reasonably priced with burgers around $9 and fries $3. read more

Had the cheese burger, fries and hot fudge Sunday. Food was excellent and the service was great as well. May need a nap after it all.

We went here for late lunch on Monday. It happened to be all that was open but we're glad we went. We had a reg cheeseburger and double cheeseburger and onion rings. Everything was very good. The burgers are big so think twice on the double. I would highly recommend this place. They also have ice cream, malts. They looked really good too. read more

Circle E was VERY busy on Father's Day Sunday at lunch time. Most seats inside and out were full with families celebrating their patriarchs. The kitchen was pumping out food as fast as they could. I ordered a corn dog and their loaded taco dog. I had asked for clarification of what was all included on the taco dog. The cashier was unsure but someone behind the counter rattled through the toppings. I didn't want to hold up the line so I went with it. My food came and I opened the HEAVY clamshell to-go container to reveal the MASSIVE loaded taco dog. Picture this: a 10" tortilla, a 1/4 lb hot dog, taco-flavored ground beef, shredded cheese, shredded lettuce, and sour cream. This thing was so so big and really tasty. I'd recommend it. The corn dog was good too. A little bit better than your standard corndog with mustard to dip it in. The ice cream treats that I saw people getting looked really good. If you're passing through Murdo, Circle E Drive In is a good place to grab a bite! read more

Fantastic short order grill and ice cream spot! We were driving through on a Bad Lands road trip and thankfully our timing for lunch landed us in Murdo so we could feast on this great food. I'd describe it as an upscale Dairy Queen offering burgers, chicken sandwiches, fries, shakes, cyclones (like a blizzard) and more. I highly recommend the Hawaiian Chicken sandwich which has sweet onions and pineapple and a great lighter version to the burger. My husband said his cheeseburger was the best he's had. Service was efficient and everyone was welcoming and smiley. Both indoor and outdoor seating (in the summer) and plenty of parking. Restrooms were also clean and a definite upgrade from many of the gas station options on the journey. Added to our road trip pit stop recommendations! read more

my grilled chicken sandwich was about as good as it looked in the picture, which was tasty, so i was happy about that. but unfortunately it was $10 before tax WITHOUT a side. so while the sandwich may have gotten a 3.75 or so, the prices get a 2 or less. read more

Stopped on our way from WI back home to CO. This was the best burger we've had in a long time!!! But be hungry, because it's huge!!! The Big Al was amazing and I recommend adding bacon and grilled onions!!!! So GOOD!!!!! The malts were also very good. A must try if ever in the area!!!! read more

Great food and atmosphere. If you're traveling on 90 it's a must. The sandwich price is without fries but worth every penny!!!

I highly recommend stopping and supporting this amazing family friendly drive in - you won't be disappointed! The Big Al burger is top notch & the ice cream is always a great option! read more

We were greeted with a friendly smile and the smell of food cooking. The place was clean and a nice decor. My husband ordered a Double Bacon Cheeseburger and it came with pickles on the bun you add your condiments, I ordered a Hawaiian Grilled Chicken with Pineapple, Swiss Cheese and Teriyaki sauce and a Large order of French Fries. We had are drinks brought to us and are ordered very large portions, since we drove all day glad we found this place on a Sunday! Everything was delicious, wish we had room for a shake or an ice cream, they had people stopping in just for that! Next we are this way. This place is a must stop.

What a great meal! We stopped with a tour bus of 45 people. I checked to see if they could accommodate that many. The owners and 2 helpers knocked it out of the park! They made our meals as fast as they could and did it all with smiles and great attitudes. Great food and great service in a clean environment. They were very welcoming. If we ever make it to Murdo, SD again we will certainly stop in for a meal. From Adventurers Travel Club Bus #2 from Norwalk, Ohio. read more

My husband and daughter loved their cheeseburgers. Not much for vegetarians, however. All the fried food is cooked in beef tallow. For vegetarians they have a house salad and a larger salad. I was able to eat the grilled cheese sandwich that was grilled with butter since I eat dairy. We shared a chocolate shake that was quite good. Service was excellent and the staff was helpful. Adequate seating at metal tables and chairs. read more
