    Off the main road (Rt 17), we stopped here on the way to NYC. Little old in an old town. Small place. Food was okay. My wife sweet potato fries can out a little "well done", but they brought her another order. Service was okay. Can't say I would return but don't pass this way ever.

    I stopped at Circle E Diner with some friends during a road trip across Upstate New York. We saw there were not too many options along the highway and we didn't want to delay our trip so much so we were delighted to see this appear on the map and just off the highway too. When we pulled up, it had that classic vintage upstate diner look in a small town. Seemed like half of this tiny town were all here inside the restaurant when we pulled up as the parking lot was pretty full, and inside most of the tables were taken. When we walked in, we were a bit confused on what to do since there was no one taking us to a seat or anything and eventually after a few min waiting someone was like "hey go sit over there" and then brought us out a few menus. The staff were not the friendliest with us, although it looked like they had a great relationship with the locals so it might just be that they are not to used to out of towners. Anyways, we were given the menu and your typical American fare. I ordered a fried cod basket because I was craving some fish for some reason. We also ordered some mozzarella sticks to share. Both my meal and the mozzarella sticks were definitely just frozen out of a bag and re-fried in house. They did not taste fresh at all, and had the very angular/flat appearance that those mass produced frozen foods have. My friends thought similar of their food although mine was definitely the biggest offender. All that being said, it wasn't too bad, just very mediocre. But, when you're making that trip, and you're greeting hungry, I'd say this is a decent place to stop.

    This pumpkin pie is to go and the top is home made whipped cream.

    Food was excellent! And the service was great... highly recommended... had veal picatta.. wife had…read moresalmon picatta.. both were delicious!

    UPDATE: Unfortunately the food didn't agree with our stomachs. My husband and I both felt sick…read moreafterwards. Very disappointing. I taught at Roscoe school over 15 years ago and had one Italian kindergartener at that time. I knew his family owned Raimondo's. The kid only spoke Italian and my first thought was, well, this muse be a real Italian restaurant. 15 years later we were on our way back from the wedding upstate with the family and I remembered this restaurant and finally decided to try it. I expected an old fashioned Italian restaurant, but unfortunately it was more than just old fashioned. It needs serious renovation. We are talking musty carpets, old sad furniture, brown flowery curtains. The worst part were the bathrooms - tile was cracking under my feet, rust on radiators, rusty stains on walls. It was bad. My husband said the men's bathroom was renovated- go figure. Now, the food was decent. My family had pasta dishes and I had a panini. My husband who also happens to be Italian said that the tomato sauce "okay" which is what he says when he doesn't like something. I had a beef and barley soup, which was my favorite part of my meal. My daughter liked the taste of her pasta, and my husband enjoyed his Chicken dish. The service was average. There was only one waitress, and she tried, but the service was still somewhat lacking. No bread was brought until we asked. Dirty plates kept piling on the table (she eventually cleaned them up once she saw there is no room for food). The most confusing part was when she brought the check and didn't explain that we are supposed to pay upfront. We wasted time waiting. The prices were decent, no issues there. Overall, this place might be okay for Sullivan county, but if you expect nice Italian dining, this is not it.
