“ Life-Long Fayetteville residents highly recommended me trying Circa 1800 about a year ago and I finally got around to going for lunch. It’s a very unique spot with great service a unique vibe and the shrimp and grits were phenomenal. I will be going back soon to try eggrolls as my hostess told me they were excellent. It was not busy, but I was there at 11 o’clock for lunch on a weekday. I was told on Friday and Saturday night it can get pretty busy! ”
“ I recently had dinner at Circa 1800, and everything was fantastic! I started with the Natty by Nature cocktail, and wow, it was AMAZING. Honestly, it was so good that it could double as a dessert. Absolutely delicious! For appetizers, the Brussel Sprout Salad was incredible. The highlight for me was the pork jowl pieces—they were incredibly tender and melted in my mouth. Rich, flavorful, and definitely a standout dish. As for the main course, I had the Short Rib Ragu. The short rib was perfectly tender, but I found the sauce and pasta to be just okay. Not bad by any means, but not as impressive as the other dishes. Overall, though, I had a great experience, and I would definitely be back. Highly recommend trying the Natty by Nature and the brussel sprout salad! ”
“ Had a great experience here! The staff was super friendly, and everything tasted incredibly fresh and well-seasoned. The lamb was cooked perfectly, and the mac & cheese was rich and comforting. Also enjoyed a couple of beers, which paired really well with the meal. Overall, a fantastic spot with great quality food—definitely worth a visit! ”

“ I had one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. Was absolutely pleased with the “southern flare” dishes. Shrimp and grits were amazing. Such a wonderfully friendly place for our family outing. You must also have the banana pudding. Don’t tell my mother that it was better than hers ”
