Culver’s

I love culvers. I grew up eating it in the Midwest. However, I went to the one on Shea for the first time today. The burger I got was so undercooked I couldn’t eat it (and that’s coming from someone who eats steaks medium rare).

Wow… I just went thru the drive thru, approx 9:30PM tonight, and ordered a «mocha shake». First the guy said «we can’t do that». I said ‘what? why not?”. «Management has told us we CAN’T make them any more». «What?» «We’re not ALLOWED to make them any more». I said, well I won’t be doing business with you anymore, and drove on thru. WTF??? I know Midwesterners don’t like coffee ice cream, and barely know what mocha IS, but this is ridiculous. You can’t take some coffee ice cream (which you USED to have) and some chocolate syrup and MIX THEM??? I WILL NOT BE BACK.

The burger was good. But I don’t think it’s worth 9 bucks. It’s a small bun and the burger was very greasy. You’d get more bang for your buck at whataburger down the street.

My very first (and most likely last) experience at Culver’s on Shea Blvd. and the 101 drive through this evening was a waste of my money.
Ordered a pacific codd sandwich and an order of cheese curds. Cheese curds were cold and I only got half a sandwich. Bottom bun, shredded lettuce and luckily fish. No tarter sauce, olives or the rest of the condiments, even the top of the bun was missing.
The only reason they are getting two stars instead of one is that my boyfriend liked his hamburger.
Ordered a pint of chocolate custard, it’s probably vanilla.

Very unhappy with service. They got our icecream order wrong. They took back our order that we paid for and made us pay to get it right. Very bad manager. Will not go back

Having culvers for the first time and I don’t know why their burgers are popular… my burger patties are like burnt crackers. Awful. This place was recommended highly for the «amazing butter burgers» Not even close. Soo disappointed.

It is a classic Culver’s. Decent hamburgers and crinkle fries and other things to choose from. They also have ice cream, frozen yogurt but my favorite is the frozen custard. Many different flavors to choose from and an overall good fast food restaurant.

Concrete mixers are beyond words. Mushroom Swiss burger is delicious! I’m not one for eating food from a drive thru but there’s an exception for everything! My only complaint is I wish they were open later for my late late night ice cream, pardon me, CUSTARD cravings (the angel on my right shoulder is very grateful they aren’t open later)!

When my wife and I were completing a crossword puzzle together, I noticed a coupon on the other side of the paper. It was a two for one deal on the Culver’s Value Baskets. We’d never been there before, but we decided to give it a try. It sounded like a good deal.
Our usual date night is Tuesday, so that’s when we decided to go. As we approached the restaurant, we were happy to see there was ample parking. We easily found a spot near the door, a bonus, because my wife’s knees make it hard for her to walk too far.
As we walked in, we noticed the restaurant was brightly lit and cheerful, with Christmas decorations displayed. We took our time looking over the menu’s many options.
A smiling young lady took our order at the counter. I decided to go with the Double Bacon «Butter Burger» Value Basket with everything and extra pickles. I chose cole slaw as my side, but there were many other options, like french fries, onion rings, mashed potatoes, sweet potato fries, etc. My wife’s appetite was not a big as mine, so she settled on the Double «Butter Burger» Value Basket. Following my lead, she also chose the cole slaw for her side.
With the coupon, the total was $ 9.27. Not bad for two people! We were eating in, so they gave us a number and drink cups. They had a wide selection of beverages, and we were both very happy with the Diet Root Beer. You couldn’t even tell it was diet.
The receipt said we completed our order at 6:47 PM. After a 5 minute wait, a young man brought us our meals, piping hot. Though they were a bit greasy (they are «Butter Burgers,» after all), they were delicious. The cole slaw is also highly recommended.
Overall, a good experience. We will definitely come back if we can find another coupon.

My husband has a serious infatuation with custard ice cream. He is also is a fan of Culver’s and luckily, we found one not too far away from where my Mom is currently living on the East Side of town.
We came here after seeing a movie and he ordered a small strawberry sundae. We had no idea they were running a special $ 2.00 for this and he ordered, we left and whilst he was devouring his treat in the backseat, we heard not a peep out of him. He declared it was his favorite and he should have gotten 10 scoops!
I was happy he was happy and like the other Culver’s, the food isn’t of interest to me (he likes the fried cheese curds too), I was glad he got his ice cream fix.

This is my second visit and I’m still impressed. My husband inhaled his double bacon cheeseburger. I had a cod fillet by itself. Which was really a cod fillet! It was very good. Also inhaled. My side salad was very fresh. Customer service was great again!

This location is open later on the weekends which is awesome for this night owl.
I love Culvers but tonight I was disappointed. :(I ordered an Oreo and cookie dough frozen custard and got 100% Oreo. :(I didn’t mind too much BUT in my little kid voice «I wanted cookie dough tooooooo!!!»
Like I said I love this place but I wish you get what you pay for. :/​you pay for 2 mix-​ins. :(I will come back because I love their custard and cheese curds.

In search of a good hamburger, I recently dined at Culver’s (8668 E Shea Boulevard, Scottsdale, AZ 85 260). I enjoyed «The Original» Butterburger, which consisted of «fresh, never frozen, Midwest-​raised beef» grilled and served on a lightly buttered and toasted bun. I chose the Wisconsin Cheese Curds, breaded and deep-​fried cheddar cheese from the LaGrander Hillside Dairy in Stanley, Wisconsin, as my side dish. For dessert, I had the Lemon Ice, creamy, lemon-​flavored ice crystals topped with raspberries. The facilities were clean and very spacious. Parking was readily available.

Horrible customer service! I’m originally from Wisconsin and never had this problem at the locations up there. The food here is ok… it’s typical fast food/​mass production. But this place needs an employee house cleaning! The older guy who works upfront is just rude, condescending, inflexible, and unprofessional! Avoid this location!!!

I think Culver’s is now my favorite fast-​food joint! Their food and service is top notch, and the restaurant is always spotless.
I don’t do the drive-​thru, so my review is based solely on dining there. The staff is always super friendly and some of the kids are really cool and funny. We once had a hilarious discussion about Star Trek with the girl at the counter. The staff treats you like friends! Also the General Manager is very hands-​on and likes to interact with the guests and talk about the food. For instance he let us know: the burgers are always fresh, NEVER frozen. The custard is shipped 2000 miles daily. They make their own root beer. The fried chicken dinner is fresh DAILY… again, never frozen. The animals on their farms are treated humanely, and there are no antibiotics or hormones in the meat. Culver’s cares! They are an environmentally friendly and sustainable company with a LEED certified building. You can tell the ingredients and the food is a cut above other fast food places — the difference is in the fresh taste of everything; the staff there takes pride in this!
Their menu is deceptively diverse — at first glance it just seems like you can order burgers with different combinations of toppings etc. But then you’ll see things like chicken, pork cutlets, melts, reubens, fish etc… While they don’t get all crazy like Jack in the Box, Culver’s is probably tops for menu variety. I’ve gotten several burgers there, and they never disappointed. While they are not the gourmet variety like Rehab or Delux, when compared to McDonald’s or Burger King… there is no comparison, Culver’s is way better. One of the secrets is that they sear the meat, and the edges have a tasty crispiness to them. I am a HUGE fan of the cheese curds — always my preferred side over the crinkle cut fries. Mmmm who doesn’t love a bag of fried cheese curds that you can dip in ranch? Love it. Also, their famous custard has a well-​deserved reputation. It is REALLY good. We’ve taken it home before too, or just had one there mixed with goodies like Reese pieces. Easily one of the best fast food desserts in the industry. I also love the fact that they make their own root beer, and it’s served in the soda fountain; and it’s really really good! My girlfriend is a big fan of the melt sandwiches. I have tried the fried chicken dinner, and while I have had better (grandma’s), for fast food I was quite surprised at what a full-​sized dinner they served. 4 GIANT pieces of chicken, with cole slaw and fries. We have also eaten the fish there, and again, we recommend it. The fish sandwich is good — its North Atlantic cod, and sometimes they have a limited-​time Walleye freshwater fish dinner which will knock your socks off.
Fun and friendly service. Fresh, never frozen foods from Wisconsin. One of the better burgers you can get. Tasty cheese curds. Delicious custard for dessert. And surprisingly good meals like fish and fried chicken. And homemade root beer. yep… Culver’s is easily the top 3 fast food chains on the planet right now.

good food and clean surroundings made to order is the best to eat it fresh and hot and they deliver to your table.

We tried a few burgers which were decent for fast food (although I would prefer Wendy’s) and their milkshake which was tasty & of good consistency.

Very disappointed in this place. Not very good food & no imagination … a melt was extremely yucky! Service sucked and the boy at the counter was very unenthusiastic & I felt didn’t even want to help us.
Never again.

I guess the bloom is off the rose a bit.
A year ago, when I told our Wisconsin friends that Culvers was opening restaurants down here, they collectively yawned. Now it’s been almost a year since the PV store opened and maybe seven months for this location. Culver’s still gets busy during lunch and dinner, but things have slowed down in a big way. Maybe it was just the Portillo’s effect? Maybe.
Culver’s is basically a good frozen custard place that does a nice business with burgers and fries. Yes, there are Rubens and Chicken sandwiches as well, but they’re known for their custards, which are delicious.
On the hamburger front as I said they do a nice job… but… you knew there was going to be a but in here someplace right? Well, the hamburgers are. greasy. I was here recently with some out of town friends and their napkins were soaked. One actually removed the top of the bun to tap it dry.
So after nearly a year, I’ll take a pass here and go back to my Animal Style.

Saw this ad on TV about their chicken tenders. So I decided to give it a try. When you enter this place, it is huge. The cashiers are on your left as you enter and if you’re trying to look for chicken meals, it is over in the far left of the signs. About ¹⁄₁₂ of the space is dedicated to the chicken. I thought this would be a restaurant and not a fast food place.
I ordered the fried chicken dinner, which can be 2 or 4 pieces, didn’t see a 3 piece dinner. I ended up getting the 4 piece which is basically half the chicken. It was breast, thigh, drumstick and wings with mash potatoes, biscuit and coleslaw.
The chicken was tasty, mashed potatoes was a bit dry and the coleslaw was OK. Since I had dinner by myself, I’ll have to take my wife here for lunch so we can try the butter burgers.
