"This is not a combo meal we would necessarily recommend. On the right is corned beef hash; on the left is a bare burger. The burger one should get is the Circle E Burger, with grilled onions and cheese. Or, for the really big appetite, a Colossal Circle E Burger, which is twice as big."
Michael Stern
"Yes, the photo gives the appearance of a curdled rice pudding, but Circle E's version, obviously baked in house, is particularly good."

"An advantage of sitting at the counter, rather than in a booth, is that you can meditate upon the potatoes always warming on the grill, plus whatever eggs happen to be cooking there at the time."
Michael Stern
"Apparently, the shakes give much pleasure, to look at Sue's 87-year-old mom taking a swig as soon as the container hit the table."
Bruce Bilmes and Susan Boyle
"Homemade Dishes Prepared Daily is the house motto."
