Reliable casual restaurant. Down home simple grill cooking. Great food for the price. Staff is super friendly and prompt. Clean and well managed. My favorite part is the sign over the cash register, "We don't have Wifi. Talk to each other and pretend it's 1995." read more

Very welcoming Atmosphere been there a few times now last time was lemon meringue, pie and coffee at 3 o'clock just one dessert. I've also had a Reuben, which was very, very good and haddock nuggets. Another time that were quite delicious and very fresh so it's a good go to place spur the moment with a friend I'll buy oneself Highly recommended. read more

We love this place. We stop here once a year when we are in the area for a conference. The food is delicious and the service is always very friendly and fast. The prices are great too! read more

Very convenient location off the Epsom traffic circle. Great place to stop for a hot meal. Good service and reasonable prices

This is a great restaurant all around. The service is great, delicious foods and priced right. If you like onions rings they have the best onion rings hands down! It is light yet crispy and not oily at all. I had a lunch portion fried shrimp with 2 sides ( mine was broccoli salad ; delicious and mash potatoes; equally good). We will definitely come back when in area visiting family read more

Amazing biscuits and gravy. Very good. Pancake are huge!! Nice little diner type place. Staff was also friendly. And it was fast

We were in the area and Yelped a good restaurant to have lunch. We found Country Cook'n At The Circle Restaurant. Checked the menu and decided to give it a try. Great selection of food whether you want a club sandwich or pot roast, and everything in between. The two of us got the turkey club and the other pot roast. Two also had the beef stew. The beef stew was very hearty and delicious. The club sandwich had fresh baked turkey, bacon, tomato, lettuce and mayo on delicious thickly sliced toasted bread. It was so big the two of us could only eat one half. Took the other half to go. The pot road was two thick slices that were super tender, with gravy on the mashed potatoes. Delicious. Beside the food being delicious, I took home a piece of Lemon Meringue pie. Best pie I ever had! I love Lemon Meringue pie and never have it much. I occasionally get it to go, but this is the best one yet! Delicious! They have several other locations around Lake Winnipesaukee, so if you're vacationing in the area, or happen to be in the area, check them out! read more

Awesome breakfast! Everything was great , Only a short wait even though was busy Perfect timing on coming out of the kitchen read more

So good! We do take out alot, always get the Shepard's pie or pancakes! Big servings with great prices.

I ate at this restaurant for the first time with friends this afternoon. The place was PACKED! The location is very convenient on the Epsom Circle, the parking is sufficient, the outside of the restaurant is decent (could be better), I was welcomed upon entering, there was ample comfortable seating, the inside of the restaurant was very interesting and had a TV prominently on in the main section, my waitress was friendly, quick and responsive, the menu had many varied choices including healthy choices, prices were average, my Cobb Salad was prepared quickly and was huge!, coffee was delicious, and the men's restroom was clean. read more

Food was good + staff was great and good vaule so i will return Wife had the pot roast A+ I had the meatloaf B- read more

We have been to this restaurant at least once a week and have had okay service and quality. This morning we went and were very disappointed as our whole meal was cold. It was not even warm. Sent part of it back to be microwaved which only brought it up to barely warm. The staff is normally very friendly and the restaurant is clean. But the consistency of the food is less than dependable. read more

Solid breakfast and huge portions. The restaurant area was clean and despite being very busy Service was prompt. Food came out fast and was well cooked and well seasoned. read more

Nice people. They do a good job taking care of you there. The waitress are hustling. The food has always been good. Nothing fancy for seating, but good service. It has that small town vibe where they know their regulars. Check it out. read more

I've been here twice for breakfast. Both times I received good service & no wait. The tables are always clean & easily accessible. The only thing not on the menu is an offering of eggs benedict (it may have been before, but it isn't on their currently). On the 2nd visit, the manager happened to be on the floor & greeted us immediately upon entry. I liked to see that he was helping out on the floor, including bussing tables & clearing plates off of people's tables to make room for them. The girl that was bussing tables brought us over to a table. She even took our drink orders, which was nice of her to get things going until our waitress made it over. I really wish I could remember her name, but she was friendly & quick. She came over to refresh our coffees at the perfect time. You can pay at your table or at the entry. We were in & out pretty quickly & left very full. The prices were fair & the portions were large. I'll be back again, that's for sure! read more

We decided to stop in Epsom for lunch on our way to visit friends in New Durham. We were seated in the back dining room, which was very quiet and peaceful. Jane, our server, greeted us and took our drink order. We were surprised when we landed at the Manchester airport earlier that the temperature was in 50's. So, when we saw beef stew on the menu, we knew we wanted it. The stew was thick and rich. It was loaded with chunks of beef, potatoes and carrots - just yummy. read more

Food and service is great for a home style meal. No frills, come as you are. Circle in Epsom read more

Went up to a getaway house in Epsom this weekend and The Circle Restaurant was a great homey diner that gave large portions at a surprisingly good price. The wait staff was kind and quick every time we came in. I wasn't necessarily that impressed with my food (scrambled eggs with cheese, bacon, and banana pancakes). However, my boyfriend RAVED about his steak omelette with baked beans, which is why I'm giving it four stars. Both days we ate there we were too hungry to take pictures read more

Excellent food, service, and prices. Amber, our server, was fantastic, making sure we had everything we needed and keeping fun conversation. Try the pie. Thank you! read more

Found this spot while staying at the Getaway cabins and so glad we did! Pros: - $12 turkey dinner - Pie! (The pumpkin was great!) - Quaint small town vibe and great service read more

The Circle Restaurant - New American Near Me - Epsom, New Hampshire

Great restaurant. Servings are ample (too much for me) and reasonably priced. Service is fast and friendly. I highly recommend it.

Ok folks, whom ever reads this, whenever your in the Epsom NH area,no wait wait wait, if your anywhere in the greater Concord/Tilton-Laconia -Meredith Loudon And Gilford area you definitely need to come to one of the Country Cook'n Restaurants locations. They have 4 locations to serve you but this review is for the location in Epsom NH at the Circle. I'm not sure what to talk about first......the food....the prices......the friendly staff. It's all 10/10. We have taken food to go 4 times in a week, it's that good and inexpensive. I wish I had pictures of everything we had, but I was so excited that I ate it before I got a pic. Breakfast is awesome, we had the Deluxe Breakfast.....scrambled eggs with sausage, ham topped with bacon. Choice of bread and either hash browns or country potatoes $7.95. No wonder Denny's is closing and IHOP is barely getting by. Hash'nEggs delicious corned beef hash, tasted home made but cannot confirm. Two eggs any style and choice of bread for $7.95. For lunch The club sandwich gives you choice of meats, tuna, ham and cheese , turkey, roast beef or a hamburger patty served with bacon on your choice of bread with all the standard veggies, $8.95 with fries . We had the turkey which was AWESOME! The cowboy burger, 8oz patty with American cheese, bacon,tangy BBQ Sauce and onion rings $8.95 with fries. Today we had the turkey Club again and I thought about getting something new so I got the Steak and cheese wrap. They need a bit more practice, lacking seasoning, but the beef was tender and the bell peppers, onions good and the cheese were good. I can go on and on but you definitely need to go for yourself. If your not satisfied I will buy your meal for you. read more

Amazing comfort food breakfast! My over medium eggs were cooked to perfection!! Will definitely be going back!

Great food, huge portions- very busy be prepared for a wait with larger groups. Highly recommend

No vegan breakfast options except for the plain bagels. The homefries are made with bacon fat (very glad I asked!). My family loves this place but it's impossible for those with other diets to eat here. read more

On the outside, The Circle Restaurant looks like a nice little family restaurant. However, the few times we've gone there, upon walking into the restaurant we could smell a strong odor that smelled like poop. It made me sick to me stomach and so we left. About a year later we went back and no smell so we went inside. My daughter ordered pancakes and when they arrived, there were hairs from a food brush all over and ingrained in the pancakes. We got up and left immediately and only paid for my wife's and my food. The service took a while, but it was crowded and expected. I'll never eat there again. read more

It was ausome I had the pot roast dinner so didn't my wife good food and reasonable prices.

Had such a wonderful experience here, amazing breakfast on vacation ! great service & ambiance in the room the employees were quick and wonderful. read more

Great diner, good food. Hubby had fried clams. He LOVED them. I had the Seafood Chowder-Excellent. Very reasonable. Terrific service!

Since we moved into the area about a year ago we have been coming to The Circle Restaurant almost weekly. It has a clean, modest decor with great home-style cooking. The kind of place where neighbors gather. The chef is excellent, with homemade tasting beef stew, shepherds pie, burgers and more. The Chicken Cobb Salad and Bread Bowl Beef Stew are a couple of favorites. Make sure you try their strawberry shortcake with ice cream when in season! read more

Don't expect a fancy meal here. You can expect good home country cookin' at reasonable prices just north of the Epsom Traffic Circle. This is as good you're going to find for family dining in Epsom. Some of my coworkers and former coworkers who are locals dine here regularly with their families. I've been dining here now that I work 15 minutes away. The atmosphere inside is that of local country style restaurant with seating at the lunch counter and two dining rooms with booth and table seating, apex ceiling, country decor, and a group of stuffed bears in the ceiling. It's seat yourself when it's not busy, but when the place gets really busy especially during weekend breakfasts and dinnertime, the staff does the seating. Pay the check at the front register. The Circle Restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, a good variety. The food is cooked using Rhymes LP gas. There are menus already at each table. The Breakfast menu is served until 3PM and offers egg dishes, 4 egg omelets, hot cakes (buttermilk & multigrain), waffles, French toast, and more. The rest of the menu served from 11AM (11:30AM on weekends) and offers soups, salads, appetizers, burgers, sandwiches, homestyle dinners, kids menu, and desserts (puddings, ice cream treats, cakes, pies). Pasta dinners (linguine) and seafood served after 4PM. Plenty of daily specials are posted on the wall, examples are stuffed peppers, prime rib (Fri & Sat), fried oysters, and seafood chowder. A pot roast dinner was $6.95. Pepsi fountain drinks, bottled beer and wine served. I will write about the most recent visits to the Circle Restaurant. VISIT A: I had an early weekday breakfast here and there were plenty of open tables, seat yourself. I was offered Coffee ($1.50) as soon as I sat down. I ordered the Hash n' Eggs ($5.95) which was baked roast beef hash and 2 eggs served with homefries and toast. The food arrived very quickly in under 5 minutes. The hash was okay, the typical hash that I can get from a can, the scrambled eggs were fluffy, the homefries were really good, chopped red potatoes, and the toast was light and thick. A staff was walking around the dining room with a pot of coffee pouring refills. The coffee was good, not too strong. In and out in 20 minutes and made it in time for work! VISIT B: I arrived here around 4:30 PM on a Friday and the place was fairly busy, but I seated myself. It took a while for someone to come over to take my order, but I was occupied trying to decide what I wanted. I was brought out a dinner roll with butter and I asked for ice water with lemon. My coworker loves the Fried Chicken Tenders here! However, since it was after 4PM, I went with the Chicken Parmesan ($8.95) served over pasta and comes with salad and garlic toast. The salad came in a small wooden bowl, prechilled with a cup of dressing, it was okay. The dinner arrived 10 minutes later with the check left at the table. The chicken parmesan was very good, tender chicken breaded and deep fried and topped with mozzarella cheese & parsley and served over a soft bed of linguine and chunky marinara sauce. By the time I finished my dinner the place was getting really busy. The servers became overwhelmed, but had things under control. I wanted dessert, so it took a while to place my order since the servers plate the desserts. I had the Strawberry Shortcake with vanilla ice cream ($2.95) which was really good, a homemade biscuit with lots of sugary strawberries and a scoop of ice cream. I waited 5 minutes to cash out as I looked over the handcrafted bracelets for sale at the register because all of the staff was busy running food out. As I was getting ready to leave, I thought I saw a former coworker walk into the next room and then I saw his wife and the kids. Though I was finished eating, I sat down with them as they were having dinner. He enjoyed the Seafood Combo ($13.95) which was fried scallops, fried belly clams, and fried haddock served with homemade mashed potatoes & gravy and butternut squash. His wife had the Prime Rib ($12.95) served with the same accompaniments. The cut had thick fat around the edges, but the meat was tender and very good. I'll have to keep those specialties in mind for next time. Overall, the food here is tasty and value priced which is why the place gets packed. The service varied during each visit depending on the volume of diners. Recommend trying to dine here during the midweek when it's not as busy. I was torn between 3 and 4 stars for this rating, which the rating came out to be 3.66 stars overall. They also own and operate the Eggshell Restaurant in Loudon and Lakeside Restaurant in Gilford. read more

Delicious food, friendly and fast service. My family loves coming here whenever we go to breakfast, and they also have a great lunch and dinner menu for Diner selections. The specials never disappoint! read more

Stopped in on way to camp and had a great surprise. Simple down home cooking. We were greeted by a smiling waitress telling us to grab a comfortable seat. Waitress came over for our drink order and brought over two delicious cakey corn bread. I ordered whole belly clams and Brett ordered liver n onions with a side of beets (not pickled) and sweet potato fries. Both meals were great. For drinks Brett ordered home brewed ice tea and I had an amazing Bloody Mary with a lot of horseradish (asked for it and the waitress was kind enough to bring extra-yum). Simple cooking. Prices were great for the working family. Keep up the great work read more

We came in today for late breakfast. It has been the first time eating inside since the COVID-19 began so I was nervous. The tables are definitely not 6 feet apart and they could be! While dining a waitress came over and grabbed a chair away from our table to seat a 5th person less than 3 feet away from me! She didn't even say, "Excuse me do you mind if I take away your chair?". That was kind of rude... The food was good, I think they just need more guidance on this Covid situation. When things relax, we will definitely return read more

Was in town to stay at the Getaway houses and needed a late lunch. Found the Circle and was pleasantly surprised. Great country diner atmosphere, kind waitstaff and great food. The bread on my turkey club was so think I had to work hard to stuff it all in my mouth, in a good way! Crispy fries and we took one of their 10+ dessert options home for later. The chocolate cream pie didn't disappoint! I give it read more

The Circle Restaurant - Cute, clean and COIVD safe! - New American Near Me - Epsom, New Hampshire

Have had breakfast many times for years and never a bad meal. Prices are fair & service is always efficient. If I have to wait to be seated, it's worth the wait. Favorite is the Corned Beef Hash with eggs. The hash is not homemade but I love it, they add onions, yummy. I never have to ask for a refill on my coffee. A few times had lunch , great variety on the menu, good old fashioned cooking. read more
