Tried the pepperjack pub burger and it was ok but I was not a huge fan of the bun. The staff was very friendly however and made the trip pleasant.

Restaurant review: Butter burgers and frozen custard, a midwest staple for on the road or just when you crave burgers. The butter burgers that are never frozen taste a lot better than McD, but it can't beat the 5 guys burger which is right next door. The crinkly fries are good, but once again you can top 5 guys. Frozen custard is always delicious and goes well in a waffle cone. Servers are friendly and it is very easy to order the food. This place also must have gone under renovation, because it looks better than went I last went. This time around I made the mistake of ordering the pork tenderloin. I don't know what is suppose to go on it, but a plain pork tenderloin is very dry... That was my bad. Pro: lots of coupons for savings in the mail, a solid butterburger and frozen custard Cons: it is pricier than other fast food options, weird parking lot configuration Hidden gem: Use coupons from your mailer for BOGO sandwich or 1 dollar off combo Sign up for the e-club for free frozen custard on your birthday and also FREE Value Basket with the purchase of a Value Basket when you sign up initially

Fairly expensive in comparison to other fast food places, but it definitely tastes different from the other fast food places as well. However, it's still pretty much average. I thought it was odd that it costs more to change your drink to chocolate milk while the chocolate milk can is only 8 ounces (1 cup).

This is a steak and shake want to be. When we first started going there my wife and I both liked it. The last time we went there there's holes in the upholstery in the booths. I'm not going to go to someplace that's ran down when I'm spending my money. The people are always friendly but they really need to reupholster the booths. That's why the low rating.

Stopped in for an early lunch on my way to Springfield the other day; it's close to Sam's where I get my gas when in the CU area. Anywho, it's Culver's. The snack pack is a deal for lunch; under $4. This place lost a star because the bathroom floor was so sticky I kinda felt like a mouse must feel on one of those glue traps....pretty gross. Clean up the bathrooms and you can have another star.

Oh, Em, Effing, Gee...I cannot believe I hadn't enjoyed this heavenly fast food spot until this weekend. Actually, it is probably best that I hadn't and that there are no such restaurants near me...if so, I would most likely weigh 3 times what I do now. I am not sure what they feed their staff (perhaps drugs?), but they are some of the friendliest fast food workers I've ever encountered. Maybe they are so happy because the food they represent is just that amazing. Or maybe they have kick-ass health insurance...who knows, but it sure is pleasant. Mandi G. assured me that their friendliness was not just a fluke, and it's never anything less than pleasant. I am thoroughly impressed that a major corporation is able to make a teenager smile and, at least appear to, enjoy their job. Butter Burgers...Butter Burgers...Butter Burgers. I want to say it over and over and over again, it's just so fun! Oh, and freaking amazingly tasty too! It was kinda like the cheese in my Butter Cheese Burger was injected into the meat; that's how perfectly gooey it was. To accompany my heart-attack-on-a-tray, I also got an order of Fried Cheese Curds. O. M. G. I cannot say enough good things about Culver's, even their Root Beer was great. However, I had to knock off a star for simply being fast food. I will take it as a blessing that my next visit will not be soon at all. I look at fast food as a treat, and not a daily meal replacement. I felt like complete shit after the meal, and continued to feel that way until well into the following day. It was worth it, though. Mmm, thank you Culver's. I'll see you next year!

We try a Culvers every now and then trying to like it and can't figure out what everyone likes about this place, especially the "mixers". Also the prices seem to be higher than I expect. I guess I fit the definition of 'crazy' as I continue to go there and expect a different outcome.....certifiable!

Delicious and cheap. I'm impressed by the quality of the ice cream, but I usually only get chocolate so I'm not sure about their flavors of the day. They use real fruit toppings though, as opposed to gross high fructose corn syrup concotions. They also use real meat in the burgers, and they're made to order. The freshness shows. They even use butter. real butter. of course this place is from Wisconsin that being said, I was disappointed by their fried cheese curds (they didn't even squeek), but only because they're from Wisco and should thus be able to execute them perfectly. oh well. They get additional props for playing some sweet motown.

I only go to Culvers for their custards. It's super creamy and thick - the best in town! I am a bit of a food purist. So, I only like the classic vanilla. If you want good burgers and fast food, forget about their butter burgers and try somewhere else.

I'm from California, and the best way I can describe Culver's is by comparing it to In-N-Out. It's delicious, greasy fast food with a "cult following". I recommend the double deluxe burger (2 patties, cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles and mayo) with a side of cheese curds (though the fries are also good) followed by a scoop of the flavor of the day custard. It's very much a Midwestern take on classic burger joint fare. As other reviewers have mentioned, it might seem expensive next to other fast food joints, but I think it's better food than the usual fast food offerings and our local Culvers usually has very generous coupons (2 for 1 burgers is the best) in local papers and mailers, so two of us usually eat for around 13 bucks. Plus, if you follow the link on your receipt and fill out a survey, you can get a free scoop of custard, at least at this Culvers. They have said they honor expired coupons, which is very nice and goes beyond what's necessary in terms of customer service. The servers and cashiers are always friendly and helpful, and very tolerant of us bringing in coupons every week.

We stopped off the interstate for a quick decent dinner and that is what we got. Two kids cheese sandwich meals, a chicken sandwich, and I broke rank and got the 2 piece chicken dinner with green beans,slaw and a bun. Everyone was happy and the service and turn around was faster than our local Culver's which was nice! I was really happy with the fried chicken (two thighs), it was crisp and moist!

Neat, clean, tidy place. Quick service. If you like Reuben sandwiches, they make 'em right. With seeded rye. The only way to go.

Just fine fast food. It's more expensive than, say McDonald's, but the meat tastes like meat and not a firm grey sponge. Good shakes too. And don't forget those evil-y delicious Cheese Curds dipped in Ranch.

You're a senior citizen from Sarasota enjoying a guided bus tour of all the wonders of central Illinois. You have discerning taste and a penchant for adventure. You ARE on a bus, aren't you? Arby's? Too mainstream. Fagioli's? Too ethnic. Enter Culver's. Something delicious for everyone. And the food arrives hot and fresh with a smile. don't be offended if the staff doesn't look you directly in the eyes. They've been told that the Dementors from the Harry Potter books were based on old people.

I love Culvers! I tell everyone I know how much I love Culvers! The employees know me, which is embarassing, because I order the burgers without seasoning, some peppery shit they shake on which I think ruins the flavor interplay of real beef and a lightly toasted, buttered bun. Not quite fast food, but certainly speedy, they make tasty burgers cheap. A double is like 3 bucks. Fries are ok, I like me some crinkle cut, but sometimes they're a little less than crisp. 10% discount with an iCard. I don't often stray from the burgers, that's why I go, but I've tried the chicken tenders and was not terribly impressed. Rumour has it that other menu options (blackened chicken! Cod!) are good - suffice it to say that if you aren't in the mood for a burger, there's probably something else at Culver's to suit you.
