Culver’s

As with any Culvers this place is a great food choice for fast food. The place is clean. The service is fast and friendly and the food, no matter what you order is delicious. My food of choice here is the grilled chicken sandwich. It’s always fresh and flavorful. Lots of healthy food options too. The ice cream treats are great too. Love Culvers.

I love this place. I don’t come for the employees; I come for their FANTASTIC ice cream and burgers! I’m always very satisfied whenever I come through. It’s clean and quiet and surprisingly intimate for an ice cream/​diner shop. I will always be an shopper as long as the service is positive and professional and the recipes stay the same.

Note to Homewood Culvers… To the person who does the onion rings no one likes extremely hard rings. The last 2 times I’ve ordered them you could break a wall with them. Please stop over cooking them.

Culvers has great burgers, prices for a fast food restaurant are a little high. But my warning to anyone going thru the drive-​thru is to sit and check your order before you drive away. The last three times I ordered, something or somethings were missing from my orders. The last two were shrimp dinners which are not cheap. One order had mashed potatoes as the side and I discovered gravy had drenched the shrimp. Didn’t matter — there was no cocktail sauce. The last order was so screwed up that I’ve decided I’m through with Culvers in Homewood. You can get an awesome burger from Lassens for about the same price. I gave three stars because I like their burgers and ice cream. I give no stars for service and price.

I love everything about Culvers except for their disregard for health codes.
There are 2 girls with big frizzy un-​done hair that DO NOT wear hair nets and bring food to customers and handle food.
I just don’t like hair in my food!

Dirty bathroom (men’s). Lady at register had poor customer service skills; didn’t even get a hi, welcome to Culver’s, what would you like to order. I was just looked at until I spoke. Fries were over cooked and burger was dry. I guess I’m just use to the fine service I receive in Evergreen park

The food is good but as I sit in the drive thru the customer service is horrible. The drive thru cashier has an extreme attitude and seem as though she does not like working there. I hope her night gets better but the attitude must go. The inside looks clean and the food taste delicious. Although my cheese curds was dump all over the bag. Bad customer service overall.

Good food, but the service is lacking. Every time I come here I get that rushed feeling. Some of their food runners are so lazy. It’s like they hire the slowest possible people to bring your food. What really bothered me about this particular visit was the cashier’s attitude. I purchased 4 drinks, asked them for no drink carrier and was still handed one. I told her no thanks and was still given it. She told me «you’ve got 4 drinks, you need it» I told her «I’ve got 4 cup holders, no I don’t. I don’t want it to spill». She then asked «how will you carry your drinks when you get home?» None of your business. If I Know what I want or don’t want, don’t try to force anything on me.
On a prior visit, my girlfriend and I overheard a conversation the older lady was having with a customer. She walked up and started to touch the customers son on the back. He had spilled and she was calming him down. The creepy part (other than her touching the child) was when she told the boys younger brother that he could stay and do her job while she went home to play with his brother. Wtf was she thinking?! I saw her sit there and talk to him for over 5 minutes. It’s like she’s in her own little world.
There are much better options than this location. The Crete one shines in comparison.

Being that I eat at Culver’s far more than I should, I’ve had pretty much all of the possible experiences at this particular location. The food is pretty straight forward: burgers, sides, soups, and a handful of chicken and seafood dinners. I usually go for either the chicken sandwiches or a burger, though lately I’ve been thinking of going more towards chicken.
The service here is excellent, almost all of the time. There’s only one employee that I find to be particularly unfriendly, though usually he doesn’t handle the actual customer interaction, so that’s okay. Everyone else is great, helpful, friendly, and just generally welcoming, which is nice.
The only reason this restaurant isn’t rated a bit higher is the inconsistency of the food. When the burger is perfect, it’s a bit moist with great flavor. More often than not, though, it oozes with grease, drips everywhere, and every bite just tastes like greasiness rather than burger. I’m not a chef, so I have no idea how to fix that, but whatever it is, it’s something they need to do. Nobody wants their burgers dripping in so much grease that everything around is saturated with it. The soups also tend to be a little inconsistent, as sometimes they’re thicker and more hearty, and others they’re a bit too watery.
Luckily, the chicken is more consistent. I haven’t had a crispy chicken sandwich, grilled chicken sandwich, or chicken tenders that weren’t quite good, so I would advise anyone that visits this location to stick with those choices. On the whole, I enjoy Culver’s and the atmosphere, I just wish they could have a little more attention to detail when it comes to the burger quality.

I felt like I was greeted with fear and trepidation. I’m short, I drive a grandma type of car, (white). I was listening to Living on the Edge with Chip Ingram, and that wasn’t even loud; but yet the young man, who was bigger than I seemed anything but warm and fuzzy. He wasn’t happy to see me — Oh! I’m sorry. Did I interrupt something… Perhaps, it was my questions, (I was ordering for my sister who wasn’t with me and I needed options). It was just before lunch and the rush had not gotten there and/​or forgot to come so … Yes, they pay you to answer my questions.
This all being said, my order was given to me quickly, delivered by a more matured woman, with a smile, who called me «honey». The fries, for my sister were not «fresh», (Yes, I tasted them on the drive to her house — I had to make sure they were okay — they were just, okay). My cod fillet, no tartar, was a bit steamed, so had lost some of it’s crunch. More vents in the box would have eliminated this little problem, (however, during colder months, I think less venting would aid in keeping the food warm). Sister enjoyed her meal and I mine. It was just nice sharing an impromptu meal with sister dear. Although, this particular Culver’s could have done a bit more, I was not dependent upon them to make my time special.

I love this place! We were only there for some after dinner dessert and the selections of sundaes and shakes would soon hit the spot. After ordering two sundaes and one shake to go we decided to have a seat at the table… 5min…10min…15min… how long does it take to fulfill an order on a slow rainy Thursday night after a hail storm? Moved from the sticky table to a booth… another 5minute went by then decided to stand by the food counter. Hmm… Sister decided to ask how our order was doing and well, the to-​go ice cream master was casually having dinner the entire time.
Anyways after realizing the order didn’t appear on his monitor he whipped out or ice creams and kindly gave us a card for a free sundae on our next visit… with the quiet comment of «I’ve been giving these out all day.» It felt like Christmas in June!
So if you love Ice Cream and don’t mind being forgotten about then this is the spot! Cause you know there is a free sundae card on its way :)

As we four were finishing a light dinner before a casual night at the theatre, I pulled out of my mouth a 6-​inch light-​brown hair, nearly gagging up my grilled chicken salad. I was angry, and walked to the counter, and asked to speak to the manager. Marcus Davis walked over. Holding up the full length of the hair I’ll almost swallowed, I told him that as I took the last bite of my salad, the hair that I was holding came with it, all FIVE inches. He didn’t apologize. Instead, he asked me if I’d like a free sundae. When I declined to accept more food, free or not, from Culver’s — that’s my second and last time eating there — he started to harass me. «Pretty convenient that the hair was in your last bite of salad,» he said. I asked him if he had a card, and waited for him to get me one. He gave me $ 5+ change back, two business cards, neither of which was his, and never, ever any apology for serving a meal with a hair. The district manager/​owner/​operator will get a call about this. Him, and the health department. VILE, DIRTY EATERY — avoid at all costs.
