“We love Circle M!! Family to the core!! You know where the food is coming from and who is preparing it just for you!! Wonderful staff and service!

Desserts are off the chain, pecan pie brownie alamode, coconut cake to die for and the Banana Pudding does The South Proud!! We drove all the way from Jacksonville, Florida! We were not disappointed!! Great family dinner spot or Date Night!!“

“Where do I start! It is 5/5 stars even though it was more like 10/5 it was amazing! The brisket was nice and tender with amazing flavor! Ribs were done to perfection, nice little tug but fall off the bone! Chicken was delicious! Sides executed perfectly, fried okra, potato salad, fries and Cole slaw all done wonderful! Sausage biscuits and gravy were great, there is an extra something that puts it over the top to perfection! The brisket Rueben was awesome. Nachos too!!! Portions were awesome and large. The price point was on par with the food and portions! If you are looking for an awesome BBQ joint this place is for you!!!“

“Been on a quest for the best bbq in the upstate area- this place is unreal. Walked in HUNGRY- bbq food isnt cheap- I was expecting to walk out like I normally do spending about 35$ for a over the top meal. While spending 22$ at Little Pigs- i recieved the same (if not better) quality meat as well as heaping portions that will feed me for the next 2 days. If your craving smoking pig and its not thursday-saturday- come here- its a must. If your feeling great pulled pork skip smoking pig all together and make the trip“

“Our Server Alex was an absolute Godsend. We have children that can be... Challenging. And rather than be dismissive, or visit our table the bare minimum, she was there constantly. She did everything in her power to make sure our family had the best experience, and we certainly did. She deserves a huge raise, and probably a promotion.“

“What can I say, but this location is a consistent five star hit! Have been a couple of times now, and always enjoy being at Sóley. The atmosphere is contemporary and cool, especially being on the lake and golf course. The menu has a Southwest-Mex theme and all dishes have been great. Recommend the guacamole, black and bleu tacos, nachos, chicken Caesar , and blackened salmon to name a few. Drinks are very good too and the bar is awesome. All the margaritas are great and on Tuesdays traditional margaritas are only three dollars. The staff is attentive and extremely kind. Highly recommend Soleil it’s awesome!“

“We came after church on a rainy Sunday, so the place was mostly empty. Very impressed with our food, though! My chicken wrap and tots were great. It was a huge portion of tots that could have fed 10 grown men. My hubby got the honey BBQ sandwich and was equally pleased.The only bad thing is parking, especially on a rainy day. I imagine they would do much better if they were in a better location with easier parking. We will most likely return!“

“I always love coming here, even when I was just 12 years old. The food is good. We went around 2 o'clock maybe and got seated straight away. The waitresses are always nice to my grandpa and I. Can't wait to see you guys again soon!“

“Great service, great food, and great customer service. Anna, Brooke, and Haylin did a great making sure we had a great food service experience. We will definitely be returning to this location the next time we're in town. Keep up the great work.“
