Culvers

My coworker told me this is a dry burger, sorry but you are crazy. This is the juiciest burger I’ve ever. Lot of taste. The service is really good. Bye bye five guys…

Every time I eat here I feel so fat… but in a good way. If you’re in the mood for a nice fatty, greasy, delicious burger, this is your place. I recommend the crunchy onion rings you accompany your mounds of meat and buns.

Tasty
My lunch visit today went very well. I got a welcome to Culver’s from a passing employee as I studied the menu and had an attentive order taker when I had decided on my lunch, a Culver’s Deluxe and an order of their Wisconsin Cheese Curds. The way it works, at least for dining in, is you place your order and they give you a number to place on your table. Your food is delivered to you, in my case in under 5 minutes.
Their food offerings are more than just fast food fare and it includes custards. My Culver’s Deluxe was very good. The two thin patties of beef were well cooked, and combined with a good cheese and fresh toppings, made for a tasty burger. The cheese curds are easy to eat.

Always, always, always cheerfully helped in a timely manner. Yummy root beer, delicious cheeseburgers that actually taste like real burgers, cheese curds are good, and the frozen custard is soooo good… my favorite is a peanutbutter/​heathbar concrete mixer. Yum. Yum. My kids like it too. I don’t recommend the green beans… tooooo many onions or the mashed potatoes, the gray is fine but the potatoes are too bland for our liking.

Great extensive menu with lots of choices for those who don’t like burgers or want a change from time to time. With out a doubt my favorite hamburger!! Each one cooked exactly the way I like it. I personally don’t like custard but they have many flavors that are quite popular. Fries are OK but the fish & chips & shrimp dinners & salads are very good. I also like Pepsi on draft & they serve it there! Quick service although each meal is made to order.

It really is a shame the the food is so good, because every single time you go there the service gets worse and worse!
First they charge you for stuff you didn’t order, then they fix that and then you don’t get stuff that you did order! Then a manager comes along and can’t see what the problem is and gets all pissy.
30 mins for a to go order for 3 burgers and 2 shakes! Unbelievable!

Culvers in the Midwest is SOO good. This one… well, the food is good, but the service is SEVERELY lacking. On two separate occasions, I’ve been served the wrong order after waiting 20+ minutes — and there seems to be a disconnect between the management and staff (yelling at your staff in front of customers is not okay). It’s no wonder they’re not motivated to do well.

Review is for the custard: we enjoyed Culver’s custard a couple times on our vacation in Sarasota. Vast selection of toppings and mix ins. Very reasonable prices.
The custard is so rich and creamy! I am thankful that they are not located where I live or I would have a Culver’s habit!
My favorite: cement mixer with chocolate custard, peanut butter, and Reese’s peanut butter cups.

If you’re in the mood to spend your money and not get any food at all and then get what you ordered 20 minutes later (Surprise! It’s still not!), then this Culver’s is the place for you. Now I don’t really understand the point of drive thru’s where you simply wait as long as you would have had you had gone inside, but I forgive such locations when the process works. Unfortunately, there appears to be no process here at Culver’s.
The request is simple — a burger and a side. No drink. Thank you, I’ll take my number to put on my dash and wait for you. And wait. And wait. Then watch the cars behind me get food. Then give up and go inside to an atmosphere of pure chaos — an endless purgatory of waiting where separate lines form for both ordering and lost or mistaken orders.
The guy at the cash register was helpful. «Yes, it’s coming right up. They’re still cooking it.» Followed shortly from another person, «No, it’s not. What did you order?» Turns out they couldn’t find me in the running car, in direct eyesight from the door, with the prominently placed number on the dash. The solution was to hand my order to someone else and walk off which apparently happened.
So after getting the story, I received my newly made order, an apology, and went on my way. Unfortunately, my «fixed» order of a burger and side transformed into a patty melt, chili, and 2 orders of fries by the time I got home. Curse you Culver’s! You win this time but I won’t be back ever again!

Excellent burgers and fries. Fresh and properly prepared. In my opinion Culvers is at or near the top for fast food.

The thing this place has going for it is their employees! They have a VERY large staff of cheerful folks who bring your food to the table and are attentive during your dining experience. Now for the food… it is ok not great. Kind of a basic hamburger joint with frozen custard too. The burgers and sandwiches are ok but the fried chicken is really bad. It looked like it had been cooked hours before it was served to me and was dry and chewy. The sides were unexciting too. If you go stick to the burgers and fries or onion rings. The rings are really quite good! If you are looking for a cheerful smile this is clearly the right place to go!

Burgers just the way I like them… crispy on the edge and piled with fresh toppings. Real red onion slices not the wimpy skinny limp rings served many places. Service is friendly and quick. Food and fries delicious. I’ll be back.

Tried the new Culver’s on the South Trail for a quick lunch. It is decidedly the one-step-above-MacDonald’s fast food place to go. They use the concept of you ordering like a fast food place, but then you find a table, get seated and wait for the staff to bring the food to you. The food is definitely in synch with the one-​step-​above concept (obviously prepared to order and quite tasty). Only negative: While the staff is super friendly and check to see that all is O.K. constantly, they unfortunately don’t seem to be able to wipe down and clean tables at the same time. Many were obviously waiting for that damp cloth while we were there.

Appears the «newer» Culver’s hasn’t made the board yet so be aware this review is for the Tamiami Trail location. First, NEVER use the drive thru. When you order you are given a number and asked to drive forward. Unfortunately there isn’t a lot of forward to drive forward to and drivers get testy quickly. Orders are slow and NEVER drive away until you check your order completely. That means opening the burger box to see if it has the toppings you asked for. As for the food: use a bib. The Butter Burgers are either dripping butter or grease but regardless, they drip. I like the double mushroom burger best; but they have a fairly extensive menu offering fish to pot roast so you don’t have to have a burger. The fries are good but the portion is a bit skimpy. The custard is pretty good and I would return for the custard.

I heard a lot about Culver’s, and I tried it for lunch. The menu looked good, and I saw the fried chicken on the menu and thought I would try that. It is a burger place, but it has a good menu and very nice selection. Anyway, I ordered the fried chicken with fries and green beans. Over all, the food was wholesome and good, but bland. The french fries were excellent. Crispy crinkled fries. Wonderful! The fried chicken was bland, and not notable. The presentation was very nice, on a nice plastic plate with a nice clear plastic cover. The value was very good for the quality, even if the food I had was bland.
My review centers on service. The counter staff was not interested in taking my order. They were rude in taking my order, and were more interested in talk to each other. To my order taker’s credit, she did get the order right. However, she had no idea about the food. I asked her how the green beans were prepared, and she had no clue (they were boiled with onions. They were OK, but a little bacon would have helped.) She did not say thank you, or anything else at the conclusion of taking the order. She just gave me my receipt and looked way. I was pretty unhappy at this point. I would have written this off as just one rude counter person, but the entire counter staff was spending more time talking to each other, rather than waiting on customers.
Once my order was ready, and different counter person gave me my order (my counter person was too busy talking to other Culver’s personnel.) That counter person was nice, and thanked me. I ordered to go, so I headed to my car. I should have checked the order first. The order was fine. However, there was no fork or napkins in the bag. So, back in I go to get a fork. No one knew where the forks were! I did not expect to eat green beans with my fingers. After a lot of discussion, I got my fork, and was told to get napkins from the counter near the trash cans. Really? They had no napkins behind he counter? At that point, I was done, and just got my napkins, and left.
So, the food is nicely presented, wholesome and fresh and bland. The service was miserable. So, I doubt I will go back for a while. Perhaps with the passing of time, they will have trained the staff, or the staff will turn over, and they will have friendly people at the counter.
