Culvers of Merrillville

I will make this review short and sweet. Great burgers and fries at a fast food price. These are fresh and juicy burgers and not frozen mystery meat that is heated.
If given a choice between McDonalds, Wendy’s, BK or Culvers there isn’t a choice to be made. Stop here and you’ll never favor the others again.

Many thanks to the owner and manager. We called ahead (about 30 minutes) with a 55 passenger bus load of ladies. When we arrived, they were holding the door open for us and had every register open and ready to take orders. We received very fast and friendly service.

This place can be good at times but sometimes not! They do have a deal at all of the NWI restaurants…$ 1.00 waffle cones for the rest of the year! Good deal.

I had a good experience going to my first-​ever Culver’s in March, so this seemed like a good spot to stop for a late lunch while driving from Chicago to Indy.
Got the kiddie meal, which was a complete meal with Butterburger with cheese, small fries, choice of drink, and a scoop of frozen custard, yay!
I really thought the Butterburger was the same size as a regular one, but the nutrition facts list the kiddie one with fewer calories, so it must be a bit smaller. You really can’t tell though.
Awesome taste, a good value, and nice ambiance inside. The crinkle cut fries were really good with an awesome potato taste.
I also tried a bite of Wisconsin cheese curd with Mariana dipping sauce, and that was delicious.
The frozen custard flavor of the day was Rocky Road, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that it came with pecans instead of peanuts. Yummy! :)

Horrible idea for the worst meal I’ve ever had-​trying Culvers for the first time. Ordered a kids grilled cheese meal with fries and a root beer. First of all the grilled cheese sandwich tasted like cardboard. Next, the fries didn’t have any salt on them whatsoever. Finally, the root beer tasted great, but my cup was leaking… everywhere. So much for a great first impression. I will never go back nor will I ever recommend Culvers to anyone.

We stopped here earlier today while driving from Chicago to Indianapolis. This was only my 2^nd or 3^rd time at any Culver’s. Both my husband and I ordered a fried cod sandwich basket.
Pros: Restaurant was immaculate. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Food was delivered quickly and pleasantly. Delicious fries.
Cons: The sandwich had absolutely no flavor other than lettuce — none. It looked beautiful though! I asked my husband how his tasted. He, too, said it was strange in that it had zero flavor, tasted like water. There was no extra tarter sauce available and neither one of us felt like going up to the counter. Total waste of calories! McDonald’s fillet of fish is tastier, believe it or not.
So, we decided if we ever went back, it would be best to order a burger.

The food and service were great. The burgers were tasty and the malted frozen custard was great. The concretes are good and thick. They left out an order of mashed potatoes, but quickly brought us another. The place had pleasant décor and was an all-​around pleasant stop.

Quick service! Yummy shake! Couldn’t ask for anything more! Ordered the small peach shake with cheesecake bites (which you can get for free, just ask). The only problem I had was that they have happy hour but it’s only on Mon-​Thurs., what’s up with that? LOL

Went to this culvers on my way to Indianapolis. Was towing a trailer and there was plenty room to park in the large parking lot. The good was fast and great.

Culvers gives you Americana at its best:
— greasy food
— excellent fries
— frozen custard (icecream on crack!)
This culvers does this just as well as any other, I love the food so they get good stars for that but typically the service is what you get for having highschoolers. 10 people standing around while the guy who took your order does all the work slowly… I guess I dont understand their business model…
Overall, we go here for the custard!

Culver’s is what I would call a triple threat. It’s cheap, quick, and quality, not to mention the cleanliness of the fast food joint.
Cheddar butter burger, side of fried cheese curds, and a cup of the frozen custard (I usually go for the flavor du jour). Done, done, and done.

Stopped at this Culver’s on my way from Chicago to Indianapolis. Very tasty burger! The fries on the side were pretty standard. I’d definitely recommend going to a Culver’s over the usual fast food chains if you have a little extra time to spare.
