Circus Hall of Cream

I didn't realize there was a Circus Hall of Cream anywhere anymore and was thrilled to discover one so close to home. Dependably delicious food and great service, the employees are super friendly and can move a drive through line quickly. Nostalgic Western North Carolina with hot dogs, hamburgers, barbeque and all types of ice cream. Like a time machine that's delicious. :)

The Drive thru wait was excessive for supposed "fast" food. Then the young girl apparently can't hear, which made my wait super excessive, one hotdog I ordered was supposed to be Ketchup and mustard only and she decided to add cheese which my daughter is very allergic to and I promise, I waited 7 minutes for them to remake one hotdog, if was so bad that I live 1 1/2 miles away, drove straight home and the other half my food was Luke warm and cold. Do better Circus Hall, you were one of our favorite, go to's

I had this place on my bucket list of local places to try out especially after seeing all the food reviews talking about it on tiktok, Facebook..ect. My husband and I decided to go out and try it. For all the hype, it was not that satisfying. Food is very mediocre, and not plentiful. We both left still hungry. It's a little on the pricey side, somehow we paid $30 for two meals and a shake. The sign prices didn't add up to that.... but we didn't get a receipt so I didn't want to go back and say anything, just decided to take the loss. They also got my meal wrong, I ordered a cheeseburger meal, no cheese on the burger. The milkshake was nasty, had no flavor at all. I admire the vintage & unique feel to the place but all in all probably wouldn't go back. There is plenty of parking & picnic ta

Another one of Hickory's hidden treasures. Place has been here for as long as I can remember and has always been good. Burgers and hot dogs are awesome. The family friendly atmosphere is always welcoming. The staff is super friendly everytime I visit. The prices are also super fair!

It's the quintessential Western North Carolina experience, in that the burgers and hotdogs are delicious and fresh. You must try everything "all the way" which in North Carolina is chili, slaw, mustard and onions. Stepping onto the parking lot, it's a blast from the past circa 1970s. It's a family friendly hangout. Very affordable prices in the atmosphere reminds you of maybe an earlier time in your life. Famous for the footlong hot dog, in my opinion it's definitely an icon and a community meeting place and it's one of the best in the Catawba Valley region.
