“ Delicious! Just a bit off the exit but worth it- yum! Best burger, homemade chips(very light) and Prime rib sammich(The Queen) you will ever taste. Thx to all the other reviewers you encouraged me to stop by. Btw- amazing cookies too ”
“ Great food and service Try the paw paw burger that comes with fried bologna and egg. The crinkle fries are so good and try it with the holy Trinity ranch or the jama garlic! Also the deviled egg potato salad Bought a pepperoni roll and oatmeal cookie with creme. We played some pinball and it was fun! ”
“ To say the burgers are great is an understatement. These were a culinary masterpiece, a work of art!. I also had the homemade chips which were also amazing. The atmosphere was slightly eclectic but not over the top. Staff is very friendly. If I travel this way again, I would absolutely come back. ”
“ Great little place, good burgers, fries , salads & soup! We were in town just for the night but had to check it out and play pinball. We tried as many things as we could and all of them were delicious. A fresh filling crisp salad, fries with Apalachian Goddess dip (housemade ranch with ramp dust- sooo good!), and hand crafted burgers (pimento cheese & chili jam or the bbq burger were fantastic) hit the spot after a long day hiking around. ”
“ Awesome place. Food was great. Deviled egg potato salad, Appalachian queen dipping sauce, chicken salad, WV hot dogs, kettle chips... I imagine everything is good but we tried these and recommend them all. Pinball machines were a fun upgraded throw back. We will be back. Highly recommend! ”
“ What an awesome place to eat at! The vibes are really cool :) Service was extremely quick and the waitress was incredibly nice. She was super attentive and had the cookies and pepperoni rolls we wanted to take to go ready for us without us having to ask. The food was amazing! I got the Granny burger and it was cooked perfectly, had just the right amount of jelly and pimento cheese, and the fries were great too. Would highly recommend to anyone in the area! Plus the pinball machines were a great way to pass the (very quick) wait for our food. ”
“ Phenomenal. The quality of the food for the price is amazing, everything locally sourced and their claim that it tastes homemade is 100% accurate. I haven't had a burger that good in a long time, and I would make the drive from Charleston just for those crinkle fries. Pictured is "The Stank" burger with ramp mayo, grilled onions and a side of fries & "Heavy Paw Paw" with fried bologna, a fried egg and a side of their potato salad. The vibe 10/10 (cute, fun, no pressure, no overwhelming music), the service 11/10 (food came out in 8-10 minutes), the flavor 12/10 ”
“ Best burgers in Beckley!! We have always struggled to find a great burger in the area, and Black Circle has solved that! Everything is local and fresh! We haven’t eaten in the restaurant but have done take out, and never disappointed. They also have excellent salads, and the best cookies around. I’m not usually a crinkle cut fry fan, but theirs are crispy and fresh. House chips are great as well! Local meat, local produce, house made sauce..there’s nothing bad about the food here! Highly recommend to anyone! ”
