Wonderful renovation to the building and menu. You must try the pecan crusted pork chop and for desert, try the key lune pie. EVERYTHING is truly homemade & fresh. The staff are so friendly and appropriately attentive.
It's a drive from Roanoke, but wanted to take a day trip west and enjoy some good West Texas food. We made our way to Baird and Circa 1880. We stopped for a great mid-day lunch. Food was good, portions were generous and the atmosphere was a fun step back in time. It was very busy for a 2pm on a Saturday. We had the Jalapeño Poppers, Chicken Tenders and the Onion Rings. All was very good!
Food was excellent Chicken Fried Steak was the meal, service was wonderful, and poppers were worth the trip alone!!! Highly recommended and will return to try something else.
We stopped in at Circa 1880 on a recent quick trip to Abilene. We came back twice that weekend to eat there again. We are from the DFW area and I LOVE small, home-cooking places. If we can find them here in DFW, they are either blah and/or charge a million dollars. Circa on the other hand gave us heaping helpings of delicious, scratch-made food at affordable prices. Even though Circa has everything I look for in a home cooking eatery, the food was not the best part. The people, from the owners who stopped by our table to the waitress/waiter, were over-the-top concerned that we were taken care of and enjoying an exceptional experience. That is a level of service that is so rare to find and I absolutely would make the two hour drive to enjoy that kind of dinner again. It's a place to go where you feel like they actually care about the customer. In this economy where I have to be stingy with dollars, Circa 1880 is a place I'm happy to give my business to! Yummy food is just icing on the cake...oh and they had amazing cake too!
old time feel in this instant classic 1880 themed restaurant. we went back on time and enjoyed a classic bacon cheeseburger and fries meal with ice cold coca cola...so good highly recommend if in Baird...
