Quite easily the best burger in the area. Fresh beef, hand formed, hand pressed thin but still a good texture. Wide patty, wide bun, fresh vegetables. What a burger used to be before fast food. Fries or tots are extra on the side. Side salads are also available. Eat in or take out. Easy access at Hwy 29 and Hwy 95 just north of Taylor and east of Georgetown. A great stop to/from Granger Lake or the drag races in Little River-Academy. I didn't take pictures because I ate it before I thought about it. :) read more

I ate there today for the fried chicken special. Chicken pieces are a Lot smaller than they used to be. One piece of chicken was hot and one was cold. Sides were good. Don't know if I will go back. read more

Not bad for this area. I've had better but I've definitely had worse. The chicken fried steak was pretty good and fairly tender. read more

Best chicken fried chicken I've ever had. Got to try it. It was thick and juicy with great gravy. Cold beer was a plus.

My SH and I enjoyed our lunch at Circleville Store. If you haven't been before, don't worry...they're actually open, regardless of how it looks from the outside. Once you walk in the door, you'll find a rustic, western bar-themed space, that's actually pretty appealing. While it was "seat yourself" at lunchtime, the service was very prompt and friendly. The beer on tap was fairly mainstream, with a bit of craft brew character. I didn't check the cold case for bottled options, but there were additional choices. It would have been nice to have a beer list. Prices for draft beer (at least at lunchtime when we went) were very reasonable, and the Karbach Bock draft that I had was delicious. Foodwise, we had the chicken-fried steak and pork chop entrees. Both were very generous portions, and came with a choice of two sides. The CFS was enjoyable...not mind-blowing but good. The mashed potatoes that I had were very tasty, and the green beans were...basic, cook 'em all day green beans. My SH's pork chops were tasty and very nicely seasoned. She found them to be a bit heavy-handed with the pepper, but I thought they were yummy. They were standard, bone-in chops - not big, thick ones, but a nice amount of meat for lunch. The crinkle fries that she ordered with them were basically unseasoned, uneaten, and wouldn't be worth ordering again, but her salad was generous and tasty. The prices were also very (2025) reasonable for a very nice amount of food. Circleville Store is definitely worth a visit if you're in the neighborhood! read more

Great burgers, great people, great owners, great experience every time and amazing family environment.

Very casual local place for home cooked foods. Entrees are good but slightly pricey - the sides are meh and can become very pricey when alternative sides are added - upcharge of $2.99 for onion ring substitute which conveys into 4 onion rings at a cost of $.75 per ring. The service is good. So for $20+ per plate for chicken fried steak and rings - Texas Roadhouse is a much better option for good food and quantity. read more

Great food and friendly staff! Love their fried chicken. Wish they didn't have smoking inside.

Great food. Kind service. Love the ambiance here! It's all good vibes and great prices! I've eaten here a few times but one day I went in and got the special for nachos. They were delicious! I loved the homemade chips, so fluffy and light but still had a crunch! Also, our waitress was such a sweet heart! Be sure to check them out. You won't be disappointed! read more

First time visitor, was meeting someone from Taylor who recommended this place. Very friendly staff and patrons, who suggested items from the menu when they found out I was a first timer. Couldn't go wrong with the smoked pork steak and cabbage. The pork steak was enormous and should have stopped at half. Veggies were very good and my guest said the hamburger was very good. Laid back atmosphere as you would expect in a small town. Overall, nice experience. read more

Decided to give this place a try while visiting friends in Taylor on a Saturday night. The place was fairly busy and almost all of the tables were full. They had specials on a board inside with sides that weren't on the menu, so I went with the special that day, chicken fried steak with sides of green beans and cabbage. My friend had the hamburger steak with fries, with an additional side of fries. We got take out, and when I tried to pay, the girl at the counter tried to overcharge me on the bill until I said that that didn't seem right. "Oh," she responded, "I charged you twice for the hamburger steak." Okay then. We asked a different bartender what the fries were like, and he said, "so-so." Hmm. Now I'm starting to get worried. He later said it was his first day working there. On the way home, I tried some fries, which were indeed "so-so," essentially unseasoned, very bland, and the portions that came with the food seemed pretty small. But when I got home and dig into the chicken fried steak - that was a different story. First of all, it's a big portion, slightly crisp breading, juicy, flavorful, just damn tasty with the white gravy. The green beans and cabbage, though, came out of a can somewhere and seemingly had salt dumped on them, and again, were very small portions, like the fries. My friend enjoyed the (huge) hamburger steak with brown gravy - decent quality hamburger meat, though the presentation was kinda off. It says on the menu that it came with grilled onions but I just saw two irregularly shaped slices of onion resting on top of the patty, which just seemed strange to me. In short - entrees were great, sides were highly disappointing. Not a whole lot of choices for food out in the Taylor area, but it was worth a try. read more

If I could do negative stars I would! I just paid $17 for the smallest chicken fried steak and sides in my life! Very disappointing

The food was good and the Service was good. However I was disappointed in their complete disregard for COVID safety. No masks worn by Servers, kitchen staff, or the owners. No attempt to social distance. Salt and pepper shakers and a roll of paper towels on the table. Drinks refilled using the same glass. If you are worried about exposure, don't go there. read more

Good food and socializing.You can drink a beer and get something to eat all while meeting friends who happen to drop in.

The food was excellent and service was great even though they were so busy!! The staff and owners were friendly and so happy!! The atmosphere was perfect!! read more

Not impressed with this place. Stopped in and paid $14 for paper thin chicken strips and greasy onion rings. Highly disappointed. My husband did however like his chicken fried steak. The service was good and the place was clean. I'm just not interested in paying those prices for finger food. read more

Located just north of Taylor, Tx on Highway 95 in the no stop sign town of Circleville. This is the quintessential beer, bait, ammo, hardware, hamburger, grocery, and steak hole in the wall. In existence for over 100 years they cater to every good ol boy around. Some of the best burgers, fries, and ribeyes in the area. Grab an chair with the local farmers and order a burger so you can taste the history. It's a place where they probably haven't cleaned the grill in a while and you don't want them to. BBQ is served everyday. Burgers, Steaks and the rest of the menu is only served on Friday (lunch & dinner) and Saturday (lunch only I think). If you're on a best hamburger tour, you'll want to stop in. read more

If 2$ Ice Cold Beer and Ridiculously Mouthwatering Burgers are two of your favorite things, and even if there not, then you need to make the trip out to Circleville General Store......They seriously have a little something for everyone! Nestled in between two small towns just east of IH 35 its recently been taken over by a Super Friendly Husband/Wife team and after just a short year or so they have managed to really make a name for their themselves. They recently updated and enlarged the outside back area of the store to accommodate large crowds for live Texas Country Music on the weekends and from what I understand still plan on making many more improvements! Check them out on Facebook for their music line up or just go grab a beer and a burger and check things out for yourself! read more

A friend of ours rented the outdoor dining area and stage for a surprise birthday party for his wife. Of course, they can't get credit for an incredible Texas sunset, but the rest of the evening was fine. They handled a huge number of burger orders - burgers were great, beer was cold, fries were hot, and service was great. read more

I'm not sure if it was just a bad night that we went, but the burger and pork chops were so dry we nearly choked.

Food is always excellent! Have been there many times on weekends and food is always delicious. Service is great and quick also for home cooked food. Reasonably priced as well for all meals. Rustic setting is perfect for Taylor community. Enjoyable experience all the time! read more

This is the best home cooking in the great republic of Texas. Stop here and eat anything on the menu, you will not be disappointed. I love the ribeye and if you come in on Wednesday the fried chicken is unmatched. The staff is great, friendly, you'll feel like your sitting at your grandma's table. read more

Great food with a cool atmosphere! The people are super friendly and the Thursday night boiled shrimp is awesome!

Waitress was kind and attentive. People were mostly friendly. Met a couple of vets. It is a hole in a wall joint. Burgers were awesome! I got fries and my boyfriend got their homemade onion rings. Had sodas with our meal unfortunately no sweet tea. Beer was ice cold. read more

Ate dinner here. Good service but food was not great. Salad had tomato ends in it, the ranch was not homemade, they were out of baked potatoes, steak had good flavor but was very thin and too fatty. Won't come back. read more

Excellent steak salad and the company was fantastic too! I've been a couple of times and never been disappointed. I highly recommend it.

The people I'm working with took me here, once again another great place that only serves food until they run out. Circleville is a combination beer, bait, ammo, hardware, hamburger and steak hole in the wall you've probablly never ever heard off. Make sure you go here for a great burger and enjoy the conversation of people around you. What a great place to eat lunch read more

Great place to go home town fun and always cold beer good food and staff knows everyone and is always smiling. RECOMMEND.

Another little country store with a grill. The burger here are fresh, homemade and delicious. If you want to step back in time about 40 years, stop in, you be shocked at how this place has made time stand still. read more

Cool location, really good food. They do live band events and have a little dancing area and outdoor bar.

I really want to like this place. The food is okay and the staff is friendly, but the smoke is a killer. (Literally, lol.) Every time we've gone to eat or drink, we end up cutting our visit short because the smoke is giving me a terrible asthma attack. Even my husband who is in great health ends up sick the day after visiting here. read more

A quick thank you to the owner of this joint for helping us out with firewood on our way to Apache Pass to do some camping. Will be coming back here to try the actual food, but from the reviews I read it seems like you can't go wrong! read more

Stopped by this little place for the first time today. We had a group of about 12 people and we were seated quickly. Our server was friendly, fast, and efficient, but most importantly, the chicken tenders were the best I've ever had...EVER. This place is worth the drive! read more
