Culver’s of Pella

Visiting Pella and wanted to try the famous tenderloin sandwich. It was grrrrreat!!! Meaty and crispy and with the pickles, red onion and lettuce and tomato what a great combo!!! We got cheese curds, yummy!!! Wish we hard room for a frozen custard concrete: next time!!!

They always have HOT HOT FRIES! So awesome!!! Love the pork tenderloin sandwich! The store is very clean. Staff are very friendly! I strongly would recommend this place. And whoops, I love their mushroom swiss burger!

If you’ve been to a Culver’s, you know exactly what you are going to get. All the same food options, all prepared as well as usual, etc. (If you are new to Culver’s, think fast food that is better than your run of the mill fast food like McD’s etc with some different options (pork tenderloins, chili, cheese curds, etc).
Basically, Culver’s is pretty good fast food. The staff is always friendly, the prices perfectly reasonable. Basically a 4 star fast food experience as a baseline.
My review though is 3 stars… I had two pretty minor issues while there that made me drop this a little below other Culver’s I’ve been to. First up, it was the longest wait I’d ever had to get my food. It wasn’t like we were left starving for 15 – 20 minutes but it was certainly 5 – 10 which is more than usual. I got to the point that I was starting to eye tables around us of people I knew sat down after us to make sure they didn’t get theirs first to make sure we weren’t somehow forgotten. So we weren’t left starving but the length of time was noticeable. My other issue was that the guy taking our order forgot to ask one of the people in our group what she wanted on her pork tenderloin and someone had to come to the table to ask. And then when our food arrived two of our orders were slightly mixed up. My cheese curds were in another basket and I had their fries. (Or they messed up two orders and it just so worked out that we could swap…).
all in all the food was what I expected and was filling and good. The service wasn’t bad or anything, just seemed to be having a bit of an off night or something.
