They lost my custard order a couple nights ago and were so apologetic! I never complained and it really was no problem to have to wait, but they insisted on giving me a refund anyway and made the food for me quickly. The way they handled a mistake like that makes me feel confident that the service will continue to be as great as their food.
Review Source:I discovered Culver's in Milwaukee years ago and even made road trips to visit Culver's once it started expanding toward Minneapolis. Finally, a few years ago, we got our own Culver's in Bloomington. The Butter Burgers are tasty and definitely in my top-ten for best burgers. Unfortunately for me, I love the taste of custard but it does not agree with me so I have had to limit my visits to Culver's over the years.
I love the food at Culver's, but the homogeneity of their locations is a bit of a turn-off for me. Every Culver's location is nearly identical regardless of where it is. I used to be willing to drive for a half hour for a Culver's when they weren't in the area just because they were different from what we had, but now that they are local they are all the same.
There's fast food - and then there's Culvers.
You may have to wait to get your drive-thru Butter Burger, but only because they make them piping hot and to-order. Simple, good food. The burger on the sign actually looks like the burger they give you to order. It never fails to remind me of the walk-up northern-state lakeside hot dog and hamburger stands when I was little and it was just a guy manning a grill. You walked away with a juicy burger and smelling a bit like burning charcoals. Yeah, Culvers is like that but with a menu that also offers up cod fish fillets, prime rib sandwiches, and reubens. And don't even get me started on their frozen custards.
Deeeelicious.
To me it's the best fast food in existence. After all the original fast food burger places sold out to corporate greed, this place remains pure. No shrinkage of product etc. Although a little tricky to get to via frontage road and a tight parking lot, the custard is one of the firmer ones. Some places it's soft and drippy. Besides I like a hotel chain, La Casita or something being attached to it. Some good service too.
Review Source:For a chain/fast food place, Culvers is a pretty good choice - definitely better than McD's and their ilk. Â They have a good range of food choices - burgers of course, but also sandwiches, soups, fried chicken, and salads. Â The food is tasty and reasonably priced, ingredients are fresh and well, just "feels" more like real food. Â Every Culver's I've been in has been very clean with friendly service - they can tend to get a bit crowded however, especially during peak hours - although I view this less as a detriment than a sign that people like what they offer. Â I'd eat here more often if there were one closer to me.
Review Source:Big Mamma Hill was asking me about Culver's after reading Jaymi's review. I told her that, body detox be damned, she MUST give it a go before she takes off for Scotland in the fall.
How would I describe the chain??
Culver's = Fast Food Decadence
The patty melt, butter burger, onion rings, and frozen custard are far superior to McD's (but I still prefer Rondald's fries).
They always seem to be located in random locations...like connected to gas stations or car washes, but if you see one, pull over. The best roadside orgasm you'll experience (that's legal).
I'm not going to lie, when I ate meat and it also happened to be my birthday, I could think of nothing better than to go to Mystic Lake and stop at the Culver's and eat sixty Butter Burgers. Then I'd go and lose my money at the quarter slots and come out reeking of smoke and dying of Butter Burger-induced diarrhea. Happy birthday to me!
I don't eat meat anymore but that doesn't mean I'm not still down with Culver's. Have you had their ice cream? No? What the hell is your problem? I don't know when Dairy Queen decided to stop actually adding things to their Blizzards other than the ice cream (you used to not have to search for an actual piece of an Oreo in the Oreo Blizzard, for example) but Culver's hijaked that train continues to whup the hell out of DQ.
DQ = for losers, especially when there is a Culver's nearby.
There's not much food for me to eat there, but the fries and onion rings rule (I'm sure they cook them in some kind of animal, but I'm not asking) and, as I said, I have fond memories of the Butter Burger. I mean, like, so fond that I'd probably go and eat one in my car right now never 'fess up to it EVER. That dead cow baby covered in suffering momma cow butter  = delicious.
