Been eating from this place since I was a kid and it's made the same exact way the pork is usually a little dry but the ham BBQ is quite juicy as well as the beef BBQ it's always been in the same place too. I remember going here after church when I was a kid

You have to understand what this place IS before judging it as a BBQ place. That's not a fair assessment, since it really isn't the typical "BBQ" fare in any way, shape or form. It's another animal entirely. Try to reel your mind further back to a nostalgic place, say...Woolworth counter, 1950's, middle America....and you'll be able to appreciate this place for what it is. It's cool. It's well-known. It's been around since 1937. Prices probably haven't changed that much since then, either. Ok, now that you are in the right frame of mind, you can feel transported back in time by the simple food.....moist, -but bland-, flakes of pork, beef or chicken (I had the pork....it's not QUITE pulled pork, not sure what to call it, really----flakes? shavings?) piled on a Wonder Bread-like bun with a delicious homemade traditional Pennsylvania sweet relish (not sure what the previous reviewer meant by jelly-like? I didn't find it so). The "platter" gets you some not overly-special finely shredded homemade coleslaw or applesauce on the side, and fries. I actually wish I'd skipped the stack of pitiful anemic fries and tried one of the other interesting-sounding sides instead. I really enjoyed the banter with our down home waitress, the atmosphere and old-school patrons of this joint. A real slice of Americana. Three stars for the food; an extra star for the nostalgia. Cash only, but you shouldn't have a problem scraping together your meter-and-toll money to pay if you forgot to bring some.

Stopped here while on a road trip looking for bbq (found randomly on my GPS)...friendly service, cheap prices, but food-wise it was by far the worst restaurant (and most definitely the worst bbq) experience I've had in a long time. My friend and I ordered 'bbq pork' sandwiches...what we got, I swear was not pork, and there was nothing bbq about it. It looked and smelled like some old sliced turkey that had been sitting out for a while, and was topped with some kind of weird jelly-like pepper chutney. There was not even any kind of bbq sauce on my sandwich. We had to ask the waitress, "are you sure this is the pork bbq sandwich?" and she said it definitely was. Also came with some very suspect cole slaw which had a mucous-like consistency, and I ordered a strawberry milkshake, which tasted like strawberry quick put in a blender. I heard whispers behind me when I ordered it because whoever was making the milkshake was asking the waitresses how to make one, they didn't know how. I think the only safe thing on the plate was the fries, I ate most of those but the rest was so bad I left it all on the table...I was starving, but it was that bad. I seriously can't recommend this place to anyone, and if you are looking for 'barbecue', this does not even loosely qualify. It is a mystery to me that this place is even in business.

Understanding this is a smoked bbq sandwich... there is no bbq sauce.. comparing it to stookies I ordered turkey... this place seems to have a sweeter relish but I would rather stookies for the bun and smoked meat.

I'm from this area. I know the palette of this area. Many native NEPA-ers of Polish stock might enjoy this barbecue, but if you are looking for anything more than dry, cold, crumbly, bland, pork on a bun with lackluster relish on the side, then look elsewhere. I don't understand how this place is in business.

The best part about Half Circle Barbecue is that it's stuck in a perpetual time-loop. The waitstaff may be cryogenically frozen each night, and taken out of time-preserving canisters each morning as to keep up the appearance of the other-worldly reality that is Half-Circle Barbecue. The Bee-hive haircuts of some of the waitstaff make you wonder if they may actually be aliens, hiding large domed heads. It makes you wonder if said aliens were sent here to feed the people of the Wyoming Valley good old fashioned Barbeque. The orange drink may also be pulled from a time-portal linked to a 1950's drive-in diner. The food is adequate and at most times the juke-box is whispering Bob Seger's greatest hits. Something that I've never been opposed too. I remember one summer I worked construction, and the old man who did all the tiling was furious that someone had broken into his car and stole his Bob Seager's greatest hits. The money in the dash, his cell phone charger and other things taken from him were of minor frustrations, but how dare a thief in the night rob him of: "Like a Rock", or "Against the Wind," or god love him the fantastic cover of Van Morrison's "I've Been Workin'" found on Live Bullit. Half Circle Barbeque is a lot like a Bob Seager song. It speaks volumes to those who toil in the Valley. Who work dead-end jobs, and have a certain reverence for anything pre-Agnes. The old booths, and racks of chewing gum at the check-out are a sure sign that you're in the right place, even if it be a place controlled by aliens who cry out for a time when things were easier. Also it's nice to hear the waitstaff make fun of whatever employee is not there on the day your dining. I go for the Turkey BBQ, with relish - because I'm a person, and people are allowed choices. The Pork is also acceptable - and if your a vegetarian, you can either starve or get an order of Potato Pancakes. Always get the Orange Drink, always be part of the experience, someone else's experience, Stuck in Time. NOTE: I can see, at one time, everyone sitting in Half Circle Barbeque, filled with paranoia as the aliens landed ala the 1950's science fiction masterpiece: The Day the Earth Stood Still.
