    Hello Foodzies, today I'm doing something I rarely do and that's posting a second post about a restaurant. The restaurant I'm talking about is Circle, Tavern in Elmwood Park. I was told to check out the cheesesteak flatbread. I've been there numerous times, their smash burgers, smoked clams, toasted raviolis and their sandwiches are very good. Circle, Tavern offers many things, it has gaming, TVs with wide variety of entertainment, music and of course great food. Our server Alex was attentive and helpful with her knowledge of the menu. Let me talk about this cheese steak flatbread. I've had many flatbread pizzas. This one on the other hand has a firm crust the toppings go from edge to edge unlike most of the flatbreads I've eaten which only fill the middle and you get nothing but bread, as you can see from my my photo the flatbread is completely covered. I highly recommend trying this flatbread pizza among all the other foods but the reason for the repost is that flatbread pizza. I give it five stars Ciao Ciao for now. Give it a try and let me know your opinion..

    I have been waiting for this spot to open for months and was not disappointed on our first visit. The interior is very similar to the old setup that was 18 west, however they have done a few minor changes that improved the experience. Nice size bar, plenty of seating and a nice menu to compliment the bar. The first noticeable improvement was the addition of house liquors that are locally made; rum, bourbon, vodka, and gin all made in Wheeling, IL. Very impressed with the house liquors. The next compliment is on the menu; it's a small menu with wings, smash burgers, and sanGwiches - cool twist to a traditional menu item. Last, the craft beer list was on the smaller end but overall impressive. I'm pleased to say they did a great job on the craft beer offerings. Hopefully they rotate brews from time to time. The service was attentive and friendly and I hope that this place ends up being what I've wanted for the circle for so long - a good place to grab a quality drink and quick bite. More vegetarian options please!

    Circle tavern was an undiscovered gem of a place. I'm so mad at myself for not finding out about circle taverns amazing atmosphere and food. This place was such a pleasant surprise and I almost want to keep it a secret. They had patio seating and was dog friendly. Everything that we ordered was so good and we all agreed it was the best we've had in a long time. From the double cheeseburger, Philly cheesesteak, tavern fries, and the bacon breadcrumbed mac and cheese everything was perfection. Perfection. I will soon become a frequent local here. The prices were legit in the portions were incredible. Well done circle tavern. I'll see you tomorrow.

    Home of the smash burgers! I find the food here very enjoyable, especially their crispy thin crust-well done pizza and fried raviolis. The home-made sauce served with their onion rings is tangy and sweet with a spicy kick to it. Exceptionally good cheese steaks. So far, everything I have tasted here sums up to 5 Stars. See for yourself!

    Go with the tavern cheesesteak sandwich and you won't be disappointed. Restaurant and bathrooms are clean, and the service is prompt.

    Good baked clams and shrimp. Calamari was a little chewy. Prices were fare! I'm going back for a burger
