“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A True Hidden Gem in Leesville, South Carolina — The Circle Diner If you love small town diners with big character and even bigger flavor, The Circle Diner in Leesville needs to be on your list. This place is the definition of a classic Southern diner. The moment you step inside, it feels warm, familiar, and inviting, with that timeless diner atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The staff could not have been friendlier. We were greeted with genuine smiles and the kind of hospitality that you just cannot fake. Our server, Christy, took amazing care of us. If you visit, do yourself a favor and ask for her. She was kind, attentive, and made the experience even better. My wife ordered the hamburger steak and I went with a classic hamburger. Both plates came out piping hot and full of flavor. You can tell they take pride in serving good food the right way. Everything tasted fresh and homemade, the kind of meal that reminds you why diners are such treasured community spots. A word of advice. The Circle Diner is popular and for good reason. They are only open three hours a day from 11 to 2, Tuesday through Friday. We arrived at 11:10 and managed to get the last available table. Their menu is posted on their Facebook page, which makes planning your visit easy. If you are anywhere near Leesville, make the trip.

“I don’t know if it was the ranch, the malt vinegar, or my hunger that made them beautiful, but the fries were exceptional. Like they’re in my top 10 fries I’ve eaten. Oh, and the chicken was good too. (I think it’s the ranch. I love ranch.).“

“I got raw chicken up there on July 4th just called and talked to him about it and the owner very rude he didn't want to do anything about it he did not believe me that the chicken was raw well I have pictures“

“We have been hearing the buzz about this place for a while. So, while we happened to be on this side of town, we decided to stop and have some lunch together. It did not disappoint. Then factor in that my husband and I both have a dietary restriction that is not the same and they were able to accommodate both of us!!! We will definitely be back next time. We're on this side of town.“

“Good food, fast service!!“

“The food was delicious, just make sure you call ahead to find out what’s on the buffet that day. I had a little bit of everything and everything seemed to be fresh! The hash and rice were great and I loved the Mac and cheese! Not dry, but not soupy! The fried chicken had a great breading that wasn’t too thick and you actually got more chicken than breading.

Parking: They have a very large grass and dirt lot outside the restaurant, honestly probably more parking than could actually be held in the restaurant.“

“I've always had a good experience here. The times I have eaten in, wait time was very minimal and the food was hot and fresh. There have been a couple of times where a waiter has struggled with understanding someone's order. A little kindness goes a long way to help people as they learn. I have ordered to go more often, and the food has always been correct and made fresh/hot upon pickup or arrival. Some of our favorites are the burritos, enchiladas, elote, and chile rellenos. I also love the aguas frescas. The xango is also really good, but better when eaten there, since ice cream doesn't travel home well. :)“

“This is an awesome place to eat. Cheryl is our greeter and so very friendly. She came to our table several times and asked if everything was ok. She gave my granddaughter an ice cream cone. The food is 1st rate and you get a huge portion. You will not leave hungry and prepare to take half of it home. Only thing I can say is I wish they were open 7 days a week instead of just Wed-Sat. Well worth the 45 minute drive to get there for such great food and atmosphere.“

“Love these folks! Been going here a lot of years. Only three grumpy critical reviews since July of 2021??? And one of them only complained that they closed unexpectedly at 9 pm instead of 10 pm! COVID protocol unfortunately caused the menu change and their prices are great compared to fast food places around them.“

“Murphys came highly recommended from several of my friends from work..I called in our order, and I was told 15 minutes and as I waking in it was being delivered from the kitchen to the server. She made sure that the order was right which it was . Their prices are on par with today's economy. We ate as soon as I got back. My wife loved the how well seasoned and perfectly cooked her Hamburger Steak was. My Boneless wings and tots were hot, crunchy ,and delicious. We will definitely be going back before our vacation is over.“
