Culver’s Butterburgers & Frozen Custard

Want to pick up a quart or two (the second quart is cheaper) of custard? Don’t come here! Check out the two pictures I’ve posted — maybe ²⁄₃ full each. And that’s for $ 11.

nice Culvers set up– i only went through the drive through but drive through was efficient i received my order it was excellent and i’m very pleased with my first Culvers Omaha experience!

absolutely horrendous service. I was actually told by the manager to go eat somewhere else because they didn’t have time to make the big order they were too busy. This was after waiting for 45 min for my food already! Do not eat here!

Employees are rude 95% of the time. Food is usually on point. Its rare that I’ve been disappointed. Butterburgers are delicious! I get them with bacon. Pretty greasy but very fresh! Good cheddar cheese, no nasty American cheese here. You have to ask for your topping such as ketchup, mustard, pickles and onions. If you want all of the toppings mentioned ask for your sandwich to have «the works».
My hubby gets the mushroom and Swiss burger he really likes it. I’ve had the chicken strips which are really good! The original and buffalo. They are so moist and tender they practically melt in your mouth. I love their fries! Crinkle cut, lightly salted. Their frozen custard is amazing! Try it! Malts or concrete mixers are my go to treats. (: I love you culvers. You will always be way better than Freddy’s in my opinion. I don’t even see the comparison, I can NOT stand freddy’s food… But that’s a whole other story!

The employees here are consistently rude. The one in Millard has been much nicer and more competent for years. But… the food at this location is always up to Culvers standards. Love, love, love the concrete mixers! Just don’t expect to get the internet while eating. No signal at all for me or my friend.

Meh… not strong feelings about this place one way or the other. I have lived a mile from this place for almost 7 years and never been. Finally made the trek down the road tonight.
Good service, clean restaurant and food was good but nothing I feel I need to go back for. We got burgers, I did like the butter flavor! I will go back sometime for their custard.

Went there tonight and the drive thru order person said «sure you do» when I ordered. Seriously? Rude.

Overpriced and not that good. The original Butter Burger is nothing but a patty on a bun (very bland) and costs more than a BK Whopper or a Hardee’s Thickburger. The Concrete Mixer was very good but a medium will cost you a little over $ 5.00. There are much better fast food places in town.

When they do it right, the food is good, but it’s very inconsistent, and I have lost track of how many times my carryout orders were incomplete, incorrect, or skimpy portions. Went there tonight and spent $ 24 on two walleye dinners with cheese curds. The coleslaw was missing from both dinners, and the portions were more like snacks than dinners. Not going back.

Alright, let me give you a bit of a back story before I write my review of this place. The night we (my other half and I) went to Culver’s the weather outside was horrendous. It was storming and raining cats and dogs. There was no acceptable dinner food in the house, it was almost 8 o’clock, and we were starving. Let me also tell you that no matter how hungry I am, hamburgers never seem like a good option. I just don’t like burgers. So, when the other half suggested this place I threw a toddler like temper tantrum and meltdown proclaiming there was nothing at this place I could eat! Doesn’t he know I hate hamburgers? Fast forward a few minutes and we are en route to Culver’s. We pull into the parking lot and he tries to go through the drive through. Let meltdown number two begin. Alright, maybe I’m exaggerating a bit, but I was hungry, I finally went inside, begrudgingly stomping through every puddle I could find while battling the monsoon that was coming from the sky. Alright, now that I’ve shared way too much detail about something not exactly critical for the review, we can begin.
My other half ordered a Butterburger and fries, which I am sure is what he gets every time he’s went there before. He ate all of it, so I assume it was quite tasty. I ended up going with the reuben sandwich and a side order of french fries. I know what you’re thinking. Two toddler meltdowns from a grown woman and all she had to do was order a reuben? I know. I blame it on the weather. The service was a bit slow, but the cashier made up for it by offering us a free sample of the days custard flavor. They also couldn’t find any thousand island packets, so they gave me a custard cup lid with it in there. A bit odd, but it worked. The reuben ended up being quite delicious and tasty. The meat on the sandwich was tender and the bread was a good thickness. I would have liked a bit more sauerkraut, but my breath begs to differ.
So, the moral of the story is Culver’s isn’t so bad after all. I have found something on the menu that I like, and my other half can have his butter burgers without having to listen to me whine ever again. I will be back!
* I will definitely update this review once I have tried more than just a sample of their custard.

Went here the other day, and got the reuben and onion ring meal, the reuben was pretty good, a little too much thousand island dressing, the onion rings are in the running with don and millies for my fave, but they were wayyyyy too greasy, the grease was coming through the bag, but considering they gave me a overflowing portion I will overlook that for now, lol, overall pretty descent place with descent prices for fresh food.

Came here for the custard. Very disappointing. Not smooth and creamy like it’s supposed to be but it was rough and grainy almost as if it was freezer burnt.

If you’re in a hurry and want a good burger, drop by Culver’s. It’s definitely better than the Big Three (McDonald’s, Burger King, and Wendy’s). The food is made to order so it does take a bit longer but the wait is worth it. I’m not a huge fan of the french fries. They look like Runza’s but aren’t nearly as good. The cheese curds are good though. The menu overs quite a few options but my fav is the sourdough melt.

Pros: Tasty burgers and treats
Cons: Greasy and dense, pricy
Culver’s makes some might tasty cheeseburgers and ice cream treats. Definitely one of the better burgers in the Omaha metro area. However, it’s too greasy. So greasy that it feels dense to eat and doesn’t usually settle well. I don’t mind a little grease in my burger, but when it weighs me down and makes me feel ill, that’s when I feel like there is too much. Also, it’s expensive for what you get. My advice is if you want a better burger than say BK or McDonalds, maybe go to Five Guys or Stellas instead.

I like Culver’s, but I don’t love them. Their burgers are good and certainly much better than McD’s or BK. Their patties look like they’re hand made on-​site and aren’t cooked to death. The fries and onion rings are pretty good. They try to market their frozen custards as Concretes, but I wouldn’t want one turned upside down over my head — no where near thick enough and cold enough for that.
My biggest gripe is the price. Their food isn’t good enough to charge the premium price they do. Example, a swiss patty melt, onion rings and a Oreo concrete was just under $ 10! Granted you can get out of their with a basic burger, fries and a drink for closer to $ 6, but that’s at the low end.
