We probably eat here almost once a week because my wife loves Culvers. Â I think overall the hamburgers are pretty good. Â If watching your budget they have several meals under $4 that come with the burger, small fries and small drink. Â But they have many other sanwhiches and meal items as well. Â Besides the burgers, to me it looks like the major attraction for the public is Culvers frozen custard.
Review Source:butter burgers are the best: If you go to this place you can expect some good burgers. I usually get the double cheeseburger basket and its excellent. Its always hot and fresh and they load up the fries most of the time. My girlfriend is a veg head so she gets the tuna melt and fries and she really likes that. She also enjoys the turtle sundae as its pretty tasty.I myself usually go for a concrete mixer with reeses peanut butter cups & cookie dough mmmmmmmm is all i can say. i had to cut back though because of my waistline though. This place is always real clean and everyone is always nice. the lady manager is always in good spirits and looks like a nice person to work for.I also like the fact that last spring they were closed one day because of a employee picnic.I think its great that an employer does that for there employees.I also am glad to see they were closed on Easter so they can spend it with there families and loved ones. I look at like this you can go to the golden arches and get a meal deal for $4.50 or go to culvers for $1.00 more and get a real good meal thats tastes much better.
Review Source:I know this is semi fast food but at least it is clean and everything is always hot! Â If you want a quick bite and delicious custard this is the place to go. Â It is always always always clean which is awesome. Â Everything is always super hot and made to order. Â There salads are great. Â For on the go food this place is way better than the "fast food" choices that are out there. Â Chocolate custard = yummy!!!!!
Review Source:YUM! When traveling from Cincinnati to Denver, we happened upon Culvers while we took a bathroom break. My fiance spent a year in WI and insisted we stop here for dinner.
We split a very yummy milkshake and we each had a burger. Culvers also had listed some 'smart' food options which was really cool. I love when restaurants provide healthier alternatives. Instead of fries, I opted for a cup of healthy soup.
I don't know if this is only for this particular store, but they no longer have hot dogs. HOT DOGS. And unfortunately this is sometimes the reason I frequent Culvers. So 3 stars for the still delicious fries and butter burgers, but not 4 or 5 for taking one of my favorite items off the menu.
Again, no more hot dogs. So sad.
The stop was only suppose to be a potty break during our 5 hour drive back home to STL. Â But I came out of the restroom to find the hubby sitting at a booth waiting for his butter burger basket...I thought he was full after having leftover Gino's for breakfast? Â Whatever, I'll help him eat some fries. Â Man were they tasty fries. Â Nice thick cut, fresh, hot crinkle cut fries with tons of salt. Â That salt got my taste buds going and the flavor of the day was Twix Mix. Â Which I've never had. Â Maybe I'll just try a sample to see if I like it. Â OMG! Â Something about custard just makes me melt. Â I see it, smell it or get a lick of it and I get a little weak in the knees. Â Twix Mix was a chocolate AND vanilla swirled custard with pieces of Twix candy bar. Â I think I'll have to have a scoop now that my taste buds have been enticed. Â The caramel in the Twix was a little harder than it would be normally because it was frozen inside the creamy custard. Â Eating it involved a little more chewing work than normal, but good nonetheless.
Review Source:As good food as any other Culver's, but the bathrooms here are absolutely tiny. Two stalls in the women's bathroom, one stall and one urinal in the men's. Â The size of this Culver's requires bathrooms about three or four times the size. It is right off a major interstate so it is generally always busy. If you are by yourself you might be ok, but don't even think about taking two or three kids with you to the bathroom during lunch time.
Review Source:How are they getting fresh Wisconsin cheese curds in Bloomington, IL when you can't find a squeaky cheese curd anywhere in Chicago? Makes no sense, Bloomington is further from WI than Chicago. And these cheese curds were deep fried and still squeaking!
Of greater concern, why was I eating such crap? Well, I was depressed. A lovely long weekend in St. Louis had come to a close and driving back to Chicago I thought, "Everyone else eats this crap all the time. I feel sad and I'm going to eat some crap."
The cheese curds made me feel moderately better, even if it was only because of the id victory over the superego. That feeling never lasts, of course, hence the 4 stars. Fast food is flawed on principle. But Culver's seems like a really good choice if you are going to eat fast food, especially if you need some excitement along the very boring stretch of I-55 between Chicago and STL.
