Culver’s

My family goes to Culver’s WAY too often; we just love that place. But recently while visiting relatives in St. Louis, we discovered that not all Culver’s are the same.
On our first visit to this Culver’s (conveniently located just down the lane from Costco), it took forever for our lunch to show up at our table. A couple of burgers, some chicken tenders and a kids’ meal really shouldn’t take so long.
Then we hit their drive-​thru on a separate occasion, and that’s where the real travesty occurred. We all chose dishes or sundaes made with the Flavor of the Day, M&M Swirl. (Being Culver’s regulars, we love far too many of their Flavor of the Day selections: made with Culver’s awesome frozen custard, they’re packed full of goodies like candy, nuts and/​or ribbons of fudge or caramel.)
Tragically, this Culver’s M&M Swirl was so skimpy on M&M’s that we all thought at first we’d been given vanilla by mistake! But no, about halfway down I found a lonely little yellow M&M, and a few more in the bottom of the dish. The same thing happened to my companions. We decided that there are more M&Ms in one little McDonald’s McFlurry than there were in all of our M&M Swirl dishes combined!
Please don’t base your opinion of Culver’s on this particular one; instead, come to Wisconsin, where we have several fantastic Culver’s restaurants. Depending on the day, you might get Chocolate Mint Volcano, or Turtle, or Brownie Batter Overload, or Raspberry Cordial… that’s it, I’m off to
to see what the Flavor of the Day is today at my local Culver’s :)

I had the cod fish sandwich as advertised on tv, thats alot of hype. Looks great on tv, but its not, it was more of a fish stick and way over done in the deep fryer and bland. I will recommend the burgers, best item on the menu, oh and the ice cream/​frozen yogurt

What is there not to love? The food is consistently good, the restaurant is always clean and the staff is friendly. Great deal for the money.

Second to Chuck A Burger, this is one of the best places to get a great hamburger. Their service is great and they occasionally bring in the boy scouts or another organization to help with with their service (which provides a lot of fundraising). Their custard is also excellent, second only to Ted Drew’s frozen custard.
The only negative of this place would be that their prices are a bit on the expensive side. However, there are many discounts to take advantage of. Military? Discount! Senior citizen? Discount! ITT Tech alumni also get a discount here. But they really need to amp up their discounts. Only a 10 percent discount for military? Seriously? I got better discounts at a franchised Burger King!

Man, Culver’s really is so good. You can get a really good deal if you go with a snack pack. For like $ 4 bucks you get a butter burger, fries and a drink. My wife likes to get the kids meal version of this same thing, called a scoopy meal, so that she gets a small custard with it. The two things they do so well… burgers and custard. The two things you should try next on the menu… the pot roast sandwich and the CHEESE CURDS!!! The curds are expensive but they are delicious! I can feel my arteries trying to expand just thinking about them! So, if you are thinking about going to McDonalds or Hardees… please don’t, go to Culvers instead. You can thank me later.

Decent burger. I could actually taste the butter on the bun. I don’t think it’s as good as other burgers I’ve had, and I would have probably liked it more if they had melted cheese a little rather than just putting a slice of cold American cheese on the burger. The crinkle fries were good and the turtle concrete was pretty amazing. Thankfully, there aren’t any near my house because I would probably gain 20 pounds if I ate those turtle concretes often!

Thoroughly enjoy Culver’s…mainly because it’s good, fresh, cheap, and spitting distance from the dealership. The service has always been super friendly… whether it’s them not bugging out about split checks, special orders, or being so kind as to provide free samples of their ice cream (custard??). As long as they keep it up, they’ll stay a part of the rotation!

Ok I have first hand knowladge of how good Culvers is, I used to work at one of their locations in Michigan. I had forgotten how much I love their food, since I haven’t eaten at one in a long time. The custard is just as good as I remember.

I love their burgers and their custard! Never have had a bad experience. Also I love their coupons they send out! Highly recommended…

wtf do they put in these burgers??? i never really bothered with this place. I’m not a junk food person, but wow that first bite that I took after my s.o. brought some home was wow. Double bacon deluxe with everything… man o man. It’s just good. There’s no other way to describe it. Compared to other fast food chains this definitely takes the crown.

The only thing that could improve Culver’s is table service and ice cold beer.
The Double Deluxe Hamburger with crinkle fries is a great treat after some power shopping at Costco.
On second thought, who needs beer when you can have a Culver’s Root Beer. Once you’ve tasted it, you’ll wish it was available in a six pack to take home.
Always share an order of onion rings, it just makes the meal complete.

I am a fan of hamburgers and Culver’s has the best burger ever! Not sure if it is the butter, maybe the meat hasn’t been frozen (the patty doesn’t look factory made) or the produce is grown by local Midwest farmers, but whatever the reason, it is a damn good burger! The custard is a nice treat there too… Is it as good as Ted Drews? As a Southern Californian who has limited access to frozen custard, I don’t have enough experience to call it but I can say there burgers beat IN-N-OUT’s hands down.
Also, every time I have gone there the staff all seem to speak and understand English like it is their native language… what a novelty!
What I don’t understand is why would anyone ever go to a Hardy’s, Burger King, etc. if there is a Culver’s in your town?

Culver’s is, to me (a Southern interloper), a taste of the Midwest, and for that I love it.
Insanely good Butterburgers, fried cheese curds, pork tenderloin sandwiches, and custard, all served by perky teenagers… for those of you who don’t know life without a Culver’s around, consider yourselves lucky.
Yes, it’s fast food, but there’s something so great and All-​American about Culver’s that I feel a little less guilty for eating it. The fact that it’s delicious, every time, doesn’t hurt.
I think all of South County may agree with me: the place is packed, always.
We usually hit up this place before heading down the road to see a movie at Ronnie’s. Good times.

Pretty yummy fast food, decent prices. I like the burgers, fries, onion rings, fried chicken, and the malts are great. the one thing i would not recommend is the Caesar salad, the worst Ive ever had. over all its great. buying for big groups they have family sizes which really helps save on money.

You know what’s weird? My burger was kinda dry. That sucks.

Each time I go, I feel like I’m a few steps closer to a heart attack. Don’t get me wrong, the food is great, but I would not be able to eat here more than once a month, otherwise the guilt would kill me.
The other day, I ordered a double butter burger with fries and a Twix concrete. The concrete was a bad call because Twix and custard don’t really mix well. It was good, don’t get me wrong, but I should have gotten a different mix-​in. The butter buns are notorious for being unique to Culvers and this bun did not miss my expectations. It was pretty good.
The staff working always looks like they have a laundry list of things to get done. They are always running around cleaning and serving up food in a quick manor. That’s why the location looks so good!

God… people just love this place. Every time I drive by it’s packed, inside and out. I’ve had friends brag about it, I’ve had family members brag about. I finally decided I would try it out myself and see what all the hype was about. You know what? I really just wasn’t all that impressed.
The menu is really just your run of the mill fast food junk. Burgers, fried chicken sandwiches, french fries and salads feigning healthy. I do have give them some points for originality. They do have other choices like mashed potatoes, pork tenderloin and an array of burger toppings that many sit down restaurants can’t boast over. Also, they have cheese curds, interesting addition there Culver’s, I’m certainly giving you points for that. However, I don’t really think the ice cream here is all that great. Again, like the rest of the food, it’s not bad at all, just not really impressive. I guess I can blame Ted Drew’s for forever ruining my ice cream standard of judgment.
Although the menu is diverse, I must know what is a BUTTER BURGER? I mean, isn’t that entire concept just a little… well…disturbing. I mean, you have this burger, not exactly health food to start, and you are smothering it in cheese and bacon and whatever your heart desires, and then this place decides, hey, this isn’t quite up to par, lets fry it in BUTTER??? Uh… that just kind of grosses me out.
All in all, it’s not a bad place. It’s fast food, so I mean, how much are you really looking for here. Maybe I am being a little hard on these guys… for fast food it really is better than most… but I guess I just can’t over the moon about a burger joint.
