Wow, extensive menu. Love that there is chicken, burgers and fish to choose from but especially like the kids menu where grilled cheese and corn dog is an option. Plus love that the kids get a scoop of custard. Definitely worth a little bit more than other places due to the options. My daughter got the tenders which was both a chicken and a fish piece for $5.89 + fries, drink and a scoopie. My son had the grilled cheese and I had the cod sandwich. I think I was so hungry that I wanted another fish sandwich, but it was tasty and nicely portioned for the price. I liked the cleanliness and it felt like a dining room with the carpet and the tv.

Thanks for forgetting my hot fudge...very disappointed. I requested hot fudge in my concrete mixer, paid the fifty cents extra for it and then didn't have any.

Just like in the Midwest. Great food and service. They even offer dog biscuits at the drive through window if you have your dogs in the car. Everyone is super friendly!

There's nothing quite like a tasty frozen custard and a burger with fries on a late Friday night. As one of the restaurants open after 10, we headed over for some late night snacking. I had a single scoop of the frozen custard of the day, Georgia peach, and had a bite of the patty melt. The frozen custard was delicious. It was rich, smooth, creamy, with a refreshing peach flavor and peach chunks interspersed in the custard. The patty melt was decent. There was a strong rye flavor in the bread which did distract from the rest of the ingredients in the burger though. Perhaps a double patty would be better for this type of bread. Service was good and our order was made in a short amount of time. The dining area was spacious and clean. Overall a good place for a late night bite.

Prices on cement mixers are never the same even though I order the same thing every time, that ok, I'm not hurting over 50 cents. They almost always make me pull up and wait, that's ok, I'm not hurting for twenty minutes the thing that absolutely ruins it for me is the service, and that makes the other things so much less ok. Tonight I had the misfortune of having Yasmin take my order and cash me out. She was incredibly rude. She rolled her eyes when I asked for something extra, balled her fists and breathed like she was trying to calm herself down when I offered to pay for the extra item, and snapped at me when I asked for her manager. While we were waiting for the manager she looked at me and said "so are you still going to pay for your food or are you going to try and get this for free?" Seriously, fire this girl.

Our food took a little longer than normal today and when the food runner came by they offered me a free mixer for our wait. Great service.

Super new location that opened at the beginning of the year I believe, next to the 99 Cents Only store and Walmart. We joked on the way in that this experience was either going to be really bad or really good because it was so new. Of course if you have been to a Culver's, the inside was the same as any location: plenty of family style seating and booths. Everything came out hot and was fresh. The hamburgers are always pounded thin, it's actually real beef, and the cheese is amazing. The fries are crinkle cut and they taste fresh. The only thing I have ever eaten at Culver's that I was disappointed by was the mashed potatoes and gravy, the gravy was on the flavorless side. Other than that, everything is GOOD here. Those concrete mixers will get you into trouble, they are so good but so many calories. The diet root beer tastes like regular. If you've ever had root beer from a keg, that's what it tasted like. Even though it is fast food, they actually bring your food to your table and ask if you need anything else.

Culver's is a great place to go for lunch or dinner. A step up from the "fast food chains" with the feel of a sit down restaurant, but quick service won't leave you restlessly waiting. The menu Howard is big, easy to read and make ordering clear and painless. Food is then brought to your table and staff are always on hand if you need anything, and will usually be around to collect your trash when your finished. The decor is inviting and plush like and the entire restaurant is kept clean at all times, hopefully that continues as the newness of the grand opening wears off. The patio seating has a fireplace, however I don't think it operational yet. It's a great looking building and just set off enough to avoid the sometimes hectic and depressing Walmart crowd. This will be a spot I visit often, as long as I don't get hooked on the frozen custards.

Not a fan. The meat has no flavor. My sandwich was burnt. Pickle was dry. Fries taste frozen. This place recently opened. Everything is new but still a little dirty considering there were only a few customers. Not coming here anymore....ever!

Wanted a good burger before attending a musical at The Gammage. Would have gone anywhere... paid any price. Planned on an upscale eatery and then noticed the new Culvers on Southern. I remembered how good they are! Burger was not a disappointment! They give enough meat to be juicy yet crisp along the edges so full of flavor. The buns were fresh and buttery. I asked for fries extra crisp and they were. I had a great meal in a new, clean establishment. I saved a lot of money and loved my meal!

Good old Culver's - my first experience here was almost 20 years ago in Madison, Wisconsin - little did I know endless cheese curds and butter burgers would eventually invade Tempe, Arizona. I remember driving past my first Culver's and wondering what a 'Frozen Custard Butter Burger' was and in larger sense wondering what was wrong with Wisconsin, only to find out I read the sign wrong - which is more of an Arizona educational issue... .. . Sure, the curds don't squeak - but they're still pretty tasty and the concrete turtles are hard to beat.

This is an update. I finally got the Burger with cheddar and the thing was a home run. I'm saying better than in and out. Just be warned. ONLY ORDER BURGERS HERE! Of you want pastrami, go to a deli, you a BBQ beef, got to BBQ joint. Don't make the same mistake o did.

Taking my order I said it was the first time I was ordering a concrete blaster. I ordered a medium chocolate, with marshmallow cream and peanuts. Did not read the small print about the extra $1 for nuts but decided okay I would let that go. The clerk said nothing which if you are trying to get the extra $1 out of me I would not say anything either. The girl taking the order goes to school with my daughter and has a class with her. She was very helpful with giving us the place mat to figure out what to order. I could not taste the marshmallow in my blaster so I decided to return it. You could taste it in my daughter's but she had vanilla which might make a difference. There is no "Team" at your store because they did not offer to get a manager or even really know what to do. I explained my problem they were quick to say it was cream not marshmallows which I knew and they would remake it for me. I said if that is my only choice than I will say no and give this to you and I handed it to them at the counter and they all look like a deer in headlights. I then went and sat back down with my daughter so she could finish hers. At no time did anyone come to my table and see what could be done for me, wow. With my problem no one got a manager to help they only said they would remake. If they did it right the first time what would change the second time? Your nuts were either at bottom of the bowl or you just like really salty nuts, not good and not worth the $1. There was little attempt to help me so I left knowing that returning is at my own risk. I left wiser than when I came in. Going to a place like yours is a treat. I am on a tight budget raising my daughter. I spent $11 which I could by lots of ice cream at the store that would last but wanted to have a night out. I screwed up. Side note. When the order came to our table there where no napkins included. I walked around the store until I found some. Question: why don't you bring a napkin with the order? Even if just being prepared in case I already had some you could take them back and reuse. Did not offer to get me one either. Everyone must be clean eaters at your store.

Like nearly every other national food chain, Culver's (predominately from Midwest) is loading up on locations in the Greater Phoenix Area. This is not a bad thing though. This particular location opened in early March, 2015, and is brand spanking new and sparkling clean. We went here for some post-baseball game custard and their custard sundaes with the pecans are really good. We also grabbed a pint of orange cream custard to take home from the mini fridge next to where you order. They had more than a dozen of different concrete pint flavors in there and they are only $3.50 each or 4/$9.99. The service was really good and a young lady even brought us a whole cup of extra pecans (free of charge) to add to the sundaes we were devouring at our table. It's not as good as having Kopp's or Leon's in Milwaukee but you can't beat this when in the desert!

So last time we just went for the burgers. Tonight we went for desserts. And man oh man, it was spectacular! I just love how nice every worker there is!! We went inside and everyone gave us a genuinely friendly hello. And they were happy to help us with our order. We got a mint Oreo and brownie concrete. Holy cow! It was amazing!!! Best shake/concrete I have ever have hands down!

I ordered the cheddar burger with fries and a heath bar concrete mixer. Upon placing my order I asked for ketchup for my fries. Although the gentleman taking my money was very nice and enthusiastic he seemed distracted and just kind of "uh huh'd" me. I pulled over to parking spot #2 to wait for my order and I waited...and waited...and waited....I finally got my order with a big grease mark on the bottom of my bag which I was unaware of and got grease all over the seat of my car! GROSS. The burger was just ok, very heavy. It actually gave me a stomach ache for a little while. The fries were nothing special and I did not get ketchup for them as requested!!! The concrete mixer I ate a little later when my stomach was feeling better and that was really good. It is the only reason I gave culver's 3 stars. The burgers are not so great. I would take in and out over this sloppy mess of a brick any day! I have to say, this food was NOT worth $13!!!!

I will say the deserts are great and I will come back for those. But my meal. No way. Fish sandwich was overcooked and greasy. Plus I know I am a fat American but for 9 bucks I was really disappointed in the size of your meal. I was done in like 4 bites and still hungry. It looks like maybe I am in minority..... but I think this place should stop serving food and just stay with dessert!

This place is new to the street but not new to az! My sister worked at culvers for the past 3 years in chandler and so I've been there a few times. I know for sure that the food is supposed to be made AFTER you place the order. My food came out super quick and was cold. After spending $10 on a fast food meal ( which is a lot to me for a burger cheese curds and a soda) it was cold! And the burger had so much grease it was dripping off of the burger, it was so well done that it was burnt and it had no flavor. I won't be returning.

very friendly staff that gets the five stars for sure burger was not cooked very well supposed to be coturized on one side not burnt till the burger is dry the rest was fantastic bun was warm and toasty fries where on point much much better than than lobby's or burger rush for the money staff really seems to care always asking to refill your drink or take your trash only thing i didnt get was why a manager is checking the mailbox outside when its busy inside and it's a SUNDAY?!?!?!
