Circa 1800

Nestled in the heart of downtown Fayetteville, Circa 1800 restaurant offers an authentic taste of Southern comfort cuisine. The cozy ambiance creates a relaxed atmosphere, though the seating is intimate, so be mindful of your neighbors. Due to space constraints, strollers are not permitted inside, but the bar area provides more personal space. On sunny days, guests can delight in dining on our charming patio. While our lunch menu may be limited, each entree promises a delightful experience. I recently savored the chicken and dumplings, and every mouthful was a culinary delight from start to finish. I highly recommend it.

Even before I walked through the door, the service was awesome. Then, inside sitting down, the great service continued! Olivia was the server and she did a phenomenal job! She should be rewarded for her great work! The food was great as well! I'm picky about so called 'Cajun' food, but the cook did well!

First time at Circa (we are not from NC) and I would legitimately go back to NC just to experience the food once more. The filet tips were so tender and juicy and the sauce on it was delicious! Our server was kind, knowledgeable, and so generous. She was willing to give me a small sample of a dish so I would have an idea of what to expect. You must try the banana pudding for dessert! It is NOT your average banana pudding. Delicious! And the crème brûlée is different with notes of cinnamon and star anise.

Drink menu is unique, had the wedge salad, blue cheese dressing was one of the best I've had. Had the short rib with mashed sweet potato, it was awesome. Menu changes frequently, so something different to try all the time.

This is my wife and I's go to spot for date night. We've been at least 10 times now. This most recent time, we ate the Boudin Balls, Shrimp and Grits, and the Banana Pudding - all highly recommended. On Valentine's day, we got to experience the Lobster Risotto and it was incredible. Previous hits for us have been the Deviled Egg dip, the Swamp Nachos (incredible), and the Filet Tips. Additionally, I check the menu probably weekly to see if they have brought back the Southern Chicken Parmesan yet. I'll probably hightail it in the second I see it grace the menu again. The team at Circa always does a great job, and I look forward to our Circa dates every month.

We really enjoyed everything for my birthday brunch. The mimosa flight was so good. The food was on point. I had the Sammy, the bread was toasted perfectly, the chicken was moist and crisp, and the waffle fries were crunchy! My husband had the beef rib Benedict, English muffin toasty, rib meat was tender, and he ate the grits, which is amazing since he doesn't care for them. I'm definitely coming back. Shout out to our server, Annie you were great!

Even though we could not stay to dine-in tonight, the customer service and atmosphere was great while we waited for our order. I'm impressed with the quality and care of the food that was considered "take-out." It still received the same time, attention and quality.

Overall excellent experience! The service was exceptional, our waitress helped us decide on drinks and entrees when we needed help. We got the pork belly as our appetizer and it was delicious. For entrees we got the steak tips and lamb. Both were delicious and cooked to perfection. For desert we got the banana pudding and creme brulee. Easily the best banana pudding I've ever had. Only negative thing I could really say is the prices are a little high but that can be understood with the quality of food. Definitely recommend for a tasty bite!

We travel all over the US. Our son took us into Circa 1800 for Sunday Brunch. The menu is small. That is not a bad thing. The food is world class good. One of the best Sunday brunches I have ever had. The restaurant is small, so plan to get there 15 minutes before they open to save yourself an hour wait to get in. We had three different dishes. Brunch Taco, chicken sandwich and the 1800 Benny. They knocked it out of the park. Generous portions, fantastic flavors and great employees providing excellent service. I will definitely try to get back here before we leave the area. If you are in Fayetteville North Carolina l, make this a must stop for Sunday Brunch. I would rate them higher than a five if possible. Our Server Olivia was fantastic and she set the standard for excellent service.

The Sunday brunch menu is great. They get their bread from a local bakery. The breakfast tacos are amazing.

My whole experience started with the hostess, who happened to be the owner (Brandy). She was so amazing. Her overall personality made us not mind waiting for a table.

Once we got inside, the atmosphere was very cute and inviting. All of our food was top notch and fresh. I didn't get a pic of the egg rolls, but those things were perfect! This will definitely not be our last time.

We sat at the bar and had great service. Food was outstanding. We got the risotto, shrimp and grits, and hot buns and everyone was happy with their decisions. Really unique atmosphere. A little on the pricier side (~$40 each for drink, entree, tax, & tip) but worth it for the quality of the food and unique experience.

I've visited Circa 1800 for both brunch and dinner several times and have never been disappointed. Their seasonal menu keeps things fresh and exciting, ensuring that each visit is a new culinary adventure. The quality of the food, combined with their attentive service, makes for a wonderful dining experience. For brunch enthusiasts, a tip: arrive a bit early on weekends to secure a spot. It's definitely worth it.

Very tasty food and a very nice ambiance. Our server was very nice and attentive and seemed knowledgeable about the menu. I was stuck between the sea bass and the shrimp and grits. She recommended the sea bass and it did not disappoint! It was so soft, moist, and buttery with a nice char on the outside. The only thing I would have changed was more of the delicious pink sherry sauce! My husband got the brisket and really enjoyed it. The Korean-style green onion (I forget the name) really rounded out the dish. We also got the crawfish Rangoon dip and it had really great flavor with nice, large pieces of crawfish

Great brunch! Love the food i ordered. Just make sure to go early cause it gets really crowdy

Last time we were here was 3 years ago for brunch. We got a chance to come to dinner tonight. We got Salmon Curry on a bed of yummy rice and Shrimp and Grits with Vegetables-- both were so delicious! My husband got few cocktails and he said everything was well proportions and great drinks! We got there around 6pm so we didn't really wait. Staffs are great and friendly. You will never run out of water. :) highly recommend!

This was an amazing dining experience. The Sea Bass, Chicken and Dumplings & The Short Ribs were so good!!! Or server was Taylor and she was so nice. She even gave my Daughter a birthday desert. You have to try this place. We definitely will be going back!!

Had a bit of a wait but that was okay. We shared the Southern egg rolls (not too bad) and the pork belly (absolutely incredible!) My wife ordered the salmon curry and I had the surf n turf. Both dishes we amazing. Dinner ended with chocolate banana bread pudding with vanilla ice cream. Overall, it was a great time. Our server, Hannah, was friendly and smiling. She really helped set a great tone for our evening out!

Great atmosphere, has vibes of a speakeasy. Large selection of drinks and specialty cocktails. Can fill up quickly oh the weekends, so come early or be prepared for a wait.

Amazing experience!!!! Drinks were great, I had the "shaken not stired" and my boyfriend had a specialty drink the bar was working on for next season. Both were amazing! Food delicious, I had the seabass he had the souther chicken parm and I can't say how amazing both dishes were! Will def return, we were both eyeing every dish that left the kitchen to decide on what we would try next time!

I can’t say enough good things about Circa 1800! The food and cocktails are fantastic and the holiday dinners are so much fun. Every time I have someone come in front out of town, I take them to Circa. If you are thinking about hosting a private event there - do it!! Brandy went above and beyond to create a beautiful and customized event and Anthony created amazing and unique cocktails that everyone loved!!
