Another great lunch while doing y Carolina's sweep. Today's stop we were in Charlotte in the old industrial area and Brett took me to Circle G. Old school meat and two. Super solid wait staff that kept the food rolling and the tea pouring. Super friendly folks and solid food. Went with the hamburger steak and mashed potatoes and their strawberry banana pudding. Solid nice hamburger steak and onions with gravy. The cherry on top was the banana pudding. A must have. Awesome. Great service and delicious pudding with a hamburger steak tossed in for protein. Good stop. read more

Okay the trick is you get here early on a Saturday morning because they start to fill up. Big breakfast small prices not extremely small still fits in your wallet and the wait staff is very attentive and they have plenty of staff that gets those tables turned quickly read more

Circle G Restaurant - You missed the best three egg omelette hash browns and biscuits next time get here earlier - Southern Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

The Food, and Service is absolutely phenomenal; however, the ambiance is not for the bougie‍‍

Breakfast never fails. Breakfast special is my go to. Quick. Fast. In a hurry and always good

I haven't been here in like 8 years. My best friend is in town and I was excited to try a breakfast or brunch place but she isn't in the mood for cutesy places. She said let's go to Circle G. Parking was on site, which was great when you walk in and seat yourself. We were greeted immediately by the waitress and the food came out relatively quickly. We both ordered the special that comes with two eggs, grits, bacon, and biscuits. read more

First time sitting in this restaurant previous takeout however this time me and my guest sat ourselves as requested, sat for approximately 15 minutes without anyone acknowledging us. After waiting that long group walked in the waitress hug and kissed them then took their order... at that time we decided to leave then and only then we were acknowledged. Never going back again read more

I knew this was going to be a great place to eat not only because my cousin recommended it, but because of the flow of people in and out of the place. Take out containers were abundant and diners happily cycled through the restaurant. The food was so good I inhaled it before I could think to take a pic. I ordered the fried flounder breakfast which came with eggs, home fries and a biscuit. All a much needed Southern welcome after my red eye flight from NYC. Wish I had room for the grits. The staff was amazing, friendly and attentive. Grateful the sweet tea kept flowing. Thanks for the to go cup! Can't wait to eat here again! read more

Love it here. The service is friendly and familiar and the food is simple southern food done right at a good price. Don't miss the broccoli casserole on Wednesdays, limas on Thursdays or the Mac n cheese. The bbq is one of my go tos but the chicken and dumplings surprised me with how similar it was to the way my nana made hers. Just a bit of salt and a ton of pepper and the only thing missing was one of my nana buttery biscuits. Yumm read more

This place is what you might refer to as a hole in the wall, but in a good way! You'd probably never know about this gem if you don't drive by it or learn by word of mouth. We found by word of mouth and so happy we did. Fried fish and grits are very good combination. The grits aren't as dense as I'd prefer them but still good. We would certainly go back often!! read more

Awesome food and great service!!! These ladies are the best!!!! Best place on the west side!!!!

Perfect breakfast. Perfect. Food and service. It's located in an industrial area, building is basic. Come inside and you'll find a pleasant comfortable spot. read more

Love hometown feel. I have been going for years. Food is fantastic! Great place for great country cooking

Awesome staff, great menu, American feel-good cuisine done right! 10/10, would recommend!

The chicken was tender, moist, and the skin was crispy. It was not greasy, which is a plus. The greens were good. Needed a pinch of salt, and a splash of  vinegar. The mashed potatoes and gravy was missing the gravy. ‍ The mashed potatoes were basic. The rolls, I did not eat them because I saw the guy picking up rolls up, without wearing gloves, and placing them in the Togo orders.  They have a decent size menu. I would probably give them another.  #chicken #friedfood  #goodeats  #instafood #foodblogger #foodstagram #foodlover #comfortfood #instagood  #cltfoodies #gratuityadded #fyp #foodiesofinstagram #eatlocal #circleg #homestyle #charlottefood #cltfood #cltfoodie #charlottenc #charlotte  #clteats #clt #queencity  #charlotteeats #charlottesgotalot #exploreclt read more

I was looking for a breakfast place but got here to late. I ordered a hot roast beef sandwich which I was not impressed with at all. The roast beef looked old and the sandwich was still half cold and the cheese not even melted. Why offer a hot sandwich when the cook does not care about the food. The waitress was nice but I don't like getting the check when you drop off my food. read more

Circle G Restaurant - Vegetable Plates - Southern Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Still on my quest to find salmon patties in this city, and somehow came across Circle G while heading to Stockyard(which is closed on Saturdays). The parking lot was packed so that was my sign to check the menu and wouldn't you know they have salmon patties! I called my order in for salmon patty, eggs, and homefries with toast. I was able to find parking on the side of the building toward the back while I waited in the car a bit for the order and once I went in there was another long wait as there seemed to be some chaos with sorting the to go orders. The food was good overall but the homefries were too soft and mushy for me but the salmon patty was not bad at all but that long wait may keep me away on Saturdays. read more

Circle G Restaurant - Salmon Patty, eggs, potatoes - Southern Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Great service, good home cooked food and waitresses that understand service! We have had lunch and breakfast both and enjoyed them.

I had a Spanish omelet which was really good. It's a 3 egg omelet which means it is big. The salsa is in the middle and not on top. I liked it a lot. The waitress was able to get me Tabasco sauce which made me happy. The black coffee was average. The rye toast was okay. Wasn't Jewish rye but it was buttered. I requested sliced tomatoes instead of grits or hashbrowns and they did that at no charge. That's a plus. I had a side of livermush. It was $3.50 for one piece of livermush. Other places serve 2 pieces for less than $2. I deducted one star on this review for this reason. Overall, I would go back. Very good food and service. read more

in town early with a little time on my hands so why not check another place off the list... easy to find, easy to park, easy to afford :-) came in near the start of the plague to a parade of folks picking up, some were dining in so I took a seat at the counter for coffee and a peek at the menu... burger plus crunchy lettuce, mayo, firm juicy tomatoes and an egg up with pickles on one side and a gravy biscuit on the other. a half cup of coffee later my food came out plated up fancy and ready to go. the menu claims it's all scratch made "from the freshest ingredients" and you couldn't prove otherwise by me. it's more a meal for the masses than the ages but that's exactly what I expected and when you gets what you wants life is good :-) read more

Circle G has the best breakfast in All of of Charlotte in my opinion. Everything I've tried was delectable. Nothing was a disappointment. Service is fast and the biscuits are everything!!!!! read more

Loved the western omelette with perfect hash browns. My friend loved the grits and fried ham. Disappointed the biscuits would take 20 minutes so did not get them. Decent coffee and great service! read more

A Charlotte gem recommended by a friend. It's a quaint medium sized restaurant with booths and tables bustling with regulars enjoying home cooking and good company. The friendly waitresses make you feel right at home with minimal wait and small talk. While there for lunch, the revolving restaurant door invited regulars and friends alike for another satisfied meal. Windows line the side of the building with views of the parking lot. Menus showcase comfort food selections that warm your insides. When the bounty of food was brought out, I dreamed of elastic waist pants--- ! Food was well seasoned and neither of us finished all of it. Believe me you'd be hard pressed to find a selection that you wouldn't enjoy! I highly recommend it. read more

My coworkers and I decided to try a new place for lunch today. First off, if you don't know someone who knows this place you probably wouldn't go here on your own. The outside is nothing special, but when you pull in the parking lot is packed!! This is a place for a diner experience. When you walk in the seating options seem sort of limited (especially with it being packed for lunch), but I think there is more seating as you go back. Once we got there we were greeted and our waitress was fast with getting our drink order. She was also fast with getting us our check which is always appreciated. This place has typical diner food with chicken tenders, meat loaf, fried chicken, sandwiches, salads, and hot subs! One thing that is a little weird about the menu is under the "specials" section, the sides listed under it in italics are the sides for the day. My coworker asked for fried okra (because it's for every other day) but it wasn't under Thursday's option so he couldn't get it. We could hear the mistake being made at 2 other tables! I ordered a bacon sandwich.. yes that's right! All bacon (it was a good portion of baco, with cheese, lettuce, and tomato on a hoagie. It was pretty good. The bread was tasty. My coworkers got the meatloaf with Mac n cheese and greens and the fried calabash shrimp with greens and fried squash. They both said it was really good esp. the greens. I don't like greens but they said they were surprisingly very good so you should try them! With the shrimp (which is what the one guy usually gets at any restaurant) said it was really good but the tarter sauce had a little too much mayonnaise in it. Also, I got honey mustard for my fries and it tastes exactly like Kens, which I'm not the biggest fan of but some people like it! Anyway, the food was pretty good but didn't blow me out of the water. The average price was about $8 for any dish. I wouldn't drive out of your way to eat here, but if you are in the area or looking for a new diner to try def check it out!! Overall good experience and I would definitely come back if I'm in the area. And P.S. my coworkers said the bathrooms are super super tiny!! So be ready for that! read more

Great family restaurant with full menu and reasonable prices. Always busy I've been visiting Circle G for several years. My favorite is Saturday breakfast but lunch choices are great too. read more

Mom was in the mood for fish. I called Circle G to place the order. The receptionist patiently accepted our order, repeating it to ensure it was correct. He stated it would be ready in 15 minutes. When I arrived, the food was prepared to our expectations! This restaurant is always busy yet, they make you feel special!!! Mom was happy with her flounder, black eyed peas and potato salad. We will return!!! read more

Currently over-rated at 4.5 stars. Biscuits are flat and greasy. Corned beef hash is from a can. I was hoping for something more. Meh.

2 horrible experiences, took a break for patronizing the establishment. Gave them another opportunity and they failed again today. I work remote, someone picked up the meals for me. Hence, I'm unable to leave my home. I spoke with the manager he advised all that he could do is apologize. Without the food no refund ( mind you I didn't request a refund). He advised I was the 2nd complaint of the day and it's only 11:30 am. He further explains, he was along side of the young lady who took the order over the phone and he ( the manager packed the order). In addition to missing items, the food doesn't taste the same. I will never patronize this establishment again. oh by the way, I'm native Charlottean w/ over 4000 Facebook friends. I'm gonna post there too. The manager say's his response to the matter is at the instruction of the owner. Kindly, Divine Robinson read more

Food was fantastic. The service was great and had a great dinner ambience. Highly recommend!!

Heard about this place while looking for an apartment. This place is definitely a place to visit if you are on the West side of Charlotte. It has a great small roadside diner feel but also a neighborhood feeling as well. Both my wife and I got the Steak and eggs. The meal comes with grits or hashbrowns, and toast or biscuits. I got the grits and toast, my wife got the hashbrowns and biscuits. We devoured the food. The steak was awesome, no need for sauces as it was juicy on it's own. My eggs were over easy and ran just perfectly for my toast. The grits were made just right as they weren't to gritty and hard like others are. The waitstaff are great, folks are checking on you at the right pace for eating and talking. Definitely would recommend this place. read more

Poor food and poor service. The salmon cakes were basically filler and the eggs were cold. Sent food back and got fried flounder with grits. Big lump in the grits. I'm just wondering why I didn't go to Dino's to begin with. read more
