Culvers

I gave one star because after hiking at starved rock we decided to go to Culver’s. Working in the one in Oswego, I decided why not. Me and my friends got different things, I had the Chicken tenders which was really good and my friends got cheeseburgers. They all almost threw up because of all the grease that was on the buns. The fries felt soggy and some of the fries were still frozen. If ya’ll want better food, I think you should come to Culver’s of Oswego. Ottawa needs some improvement and they are not there yet.

Not your average burger place. My first time trying it & I was satisfied. The burger was really fresh, it reminded me of an «In-​n-​out» from back home.

We stayed at the Fairfield Inn Marriott which is right behind this Culver’s location. I have reviewed this location before. This time we didn’t get full meals but we did get ice cream twice. This is a perfect location and easy to walk to from the hotel. We sat outside on the Patio both times. They accept two coupons. We used a birthday coupon that was printed online with another coupon that I received in the mail.

We’re CULVER’S addict !!! This place has only been in Ottawa about 1+ years. It is, like others that we frequent, is a very clean, comfortable, & convenient place to stop. The food, & desserts are prepared by clean, classy employees, freshly prepped, and server at our table. Their soups, sandwiches, salads, & especially their breaded tenderloin, are great. I really enjoy their concrete mixers, for dessert.

Stopped here from driving up to Chicago and the staff was friendly, the service was accurate and fast. Always a stop on the road for the great food.

So I am rating this compared not just as a restaurant but as a Culvers, so four stars is the highest I will give of any culvers. There are 17 Culvers within a 25 mile radious of this one and I have eaten a meal at every one. The ordering counter was by far the least pushy. Usually there are three hyper teenagers so bored they are champing at the but to take your order. I am looking up at their menu, hanging back to let others up front. At this Culvers they were patient and waited for me. No repeatedly asking me if they could take my order. They just calmly waited. When I did order, they took the order quickly and correctly. It arived at our table very hot with everything and staff offered us anything else we wanted. The fish was balanced as well done yet moist and well breaded with a very light
tenderloin reminded me of Iowa tavern tenderloin easily extending beyond the large hearty bun. I asked for extra pickles and boy did I get them. We got a large $ 5 cheese curd order. They were sweet and lightly breaded. I thougt charging $ .50 for each of two sauce cups was a little much. All tge food was hot, fresh, and not greasy… something other Culvers have a hard time achieving. There appeared to be only one grill man in the back and our food came out really quickly, so he must be really efficient. The whole place was really clean. I drank three cups of root beer and two little cups of ketchup. The guy cleaning the dining room was cleaning the area each time I was up there. The christmas tree was well decorated and coordinated with culvers colors of silver and blue. I gotta say it was pretty good and it turned my crummy day around.

We came here for lunch after hiking at Starved Rock. It was at 1pm when we arrived. Pretty busy, but we were able to find seats for the 5 of us. Food came pretty quickly. They bring the food to your table after you order up front. I had the north atlantic cod meal with fries. My cod was mediocre. There was a lot of breading, and I barely enjoyed the fish. The bun was huge too. lots of carbs right there. I had to rip some of the bread off. The fries were good, though.
My husband had the crispy chicken sandwich with mashed potatoes as his side. Crispy chicken is decent. The mashed potatoes were ehh, could be better. My other friends were content with their meal. It is fast food, so no big expectations. I would prefer going to McD’s or Wendy’s over Culver’s though.
My friends and I also noticed there were lots of females who are tanned… very dark. Not sure why though. Their skin is so tanned that some look brown, some orange. one of my friend said it must be some kind of tanning convention in town that the ladies are so.tanned.

Stopped here on our way home from Grizzly Jack’s Grand Bear Resort in Utica.
This is the cleanest Culvers I have ever visited. While I was there, one of the employees was washing the windows on the entrance doors. I love that attention to detail.
This location also has very friendly and helpful employees. It is obvious that they are well trained and that the store is well managed.

Carry out order: Wisconsin this Wisconsin that. Try ordering a few hamburgers without confusing a new employee by saying triple cheese wisconsin burger. Which can be a few different kinds of burgers, apparently. I got a crappy patty melt thing. Which was not what i ordered, even pointing at the picture to the guy. It was discusting. So they make a mistake, it happens.$ 23.00 later… Try getting your money back when they give you the wrong order. You’ll get a coupon. Some policy thing, the little fat manager said to me. As far as im concerned the burgers SUCK. I thought i would give it a second chance, and try it and there you go my Unilocal.Bad people skills by the management, and sarcastic and rude behavior. Enjoy!!!
