I wish I had read the reviews before I went there. I too love Culvers but the New Lenox place is poor. My husband and I each ordered a fish sandwich, one cod and one walleye. The walleye was fishy and the breading was rancid. The other food was very good (the cod sandwich, onion rings and chocolate malt). Also, my husband realized after he got home that he didn't get the correct change back from his order. His $24+ order cost him $30. urrrrgh, this place needs better management!!

Great smooth ice cream for the summer but I wish I could say the same for the food. Food is just as average as any fast food. Unfortunately there are not any really good burger places in New Lenox. This is about as close as you will get.

Service good, ice cream great, food mediocre. Mushroom & Swiss Butterburger I ordered was a double. The burger came out and the hamburger patties are wafer thin, as if someone put a heavy frying pan on top of them while they were cooking on the grill. Also, couldn't find the mushrooms.

Love the custard but the New Lenox Culvers sucks. Ordered a two scoop ice cream cone and it came out about an inch and a half of ice cream for 3.09. Come on. I guess it's the creamery from now on.

The staff is very friendly and everything was cooked perfectly. If the price were about 15% less, the stars would be 5. A little pricey!

Well... I went there to meet KJ for lunch and I ordered their Wisconsin burger...aka patty melt. Um... can you spare any more beef? WTF? The marbled rye dwarfed the little smidgin of beef. This is getting old with you guys. Never again...

They got my food order right but they had Mountain Dew coming out of the Sierra Mist tap? And the employee just looked at me like I was nuts when I told him. He smiled and walked away. I don't care how much butter they use, I'm not coming back!

I had a very bad experience here in the Summer of 2012..... One time they completely forgot my order. I went inside to order and waited and waited while people that ordered after me were getting their food. I said something to the cashier and she apologized and then I stood there even longer. Finally after waiting even longer, I asked for the manager and she apologized and they finally brought me my food. She asked if I wanted a complimentary sundae. I told her "No" because I didn't want to wait for it while my food got cold. I suggested maybe a free meal the next time I visit and she agreed to get me a gift certificate. I assumed the gift certificate would take two seconds and I would be on my way. She went into the back room to get gift certificate and so I waited and I waited and I waited even longer. I saw the manager in the back doing other things with her employees instead of getting my gift certificate. Finally I got sick of waiting because my food was getting cold and I left. I decided to report this issue to Culver's Corporate Office hoping to get a response. I sent them a complaint using their website and I am still waiting and waiting and waiting for a response. As a reminder....This happened last summer. Needless to say....I refuse to go back to any Culver's again. If the Corporate Management don't care about customer complaints then of course the Restaurant Manager won't care either. Who is holding employees and restaurant managers accountable?

Their custard is one of my favorite things ever. Food wise they are ok. Their salads are alright for fast food joints. But omg the custard is amazing.

First we all have to realize.. This still is fast food so my review is based on the average fast food experience....this place is very clean compared to most fast food joints. It has that family diner vibe which is cool. Now for food I always get the grilled chicken sandwich with Honey mustard. It's a really big sandwich to me and is plump and juicy. My mom loves the pot roast despite what people say. Their side salad is also so much fresher with more little veggies than other places in this same genre. The custard I always stick to choc shake or malts... I do think there is a little too much malt in the malt....it's suuuuper grainy and sooooo thick I will break a blood vessel trying to suck it through the straw! All in all this is a much better than average fast food experience and a great addition to New Lenox. I usually come here each time I visit back home since in New Mexico we don't have culvers!

The family has been wanting to stop in at the new Culver's in New Lenox since it opened a couple of months ago. We finally had a time when we could all make it. So it was a lunch date. We have been to a few different Culver's and for fast food their not bad. I started by ordering the double cheese burger with bacon (a very juicy burger with a good amount of bacon on it), cheese curds (just like deep fried cheese sticks but with Cheddar cheese) and a Mango smoothie (very strong mango flavoring and nice and thick like a shake almost) all for $9 dollars. My wife ordered the Mushroom and Swiss burger (nice mix of the mushrooms and swiss cheese) with Chicken Noodle soup (very good soup, my wife always says I could just order the soup and nothing else and that would be fine) and a medium drink for $8 dollars. My oldest son and youngest daughter both ordered the Chicken Tender strips (my son gets the sweet and sour sauce and my daughter gets the honey mustard, good average tasting chicken) with fries and a drink for $7.30 each. Finally the youngest son ordered the deluxe double burger (which he wolfed down in no time flat) with fries and a drink for roughly $7 dollars. So is this gourmet food? No, it's fast food at it's best. The service is very friendly, the place is clean and the prices are reasonable. It's a nice quick and filling meal and much better than most fast food joints.

Ordered the pot roast sandwich. Where's the meat???? What I got did not match the picture above the counter area. Asked for the manager, but was given another sandwich with more meat. Went back a few weeks later. Same issue. Needs a manager.

I went to Culvers on Friday to get 3 of the Cod fish sandwiches and there was only 1 cashier and 1 girl bagging. Everyone was getting very aggrivated waiting for their orders. I ended up waiting 30 minutes for 3 fish sandwiches, that is ridiculus. When I got home to eat them with my family they were just aweful, they were all smooshed and not good at all. They were nothing like the commercial says they are. That is false advertising if you ask me.

I absolutely love Culvers, but not the one in New Lenox. I couldn't wait for it to open, so we wouldn't have to drive to the Tinley Park location. Back in the summer of 2011, we noticed how filthy the place was along with flies everywhere. Disgusting! The tables were dirty, the floor was dirty, the employees were just LAZY!!!!! I stopped going there for a few months. Just went there recently and the place is still filthy. I don't understand how there are 6 people behind the counter doing nothing. Go clean a table. Just ridiculously lazy! I also noticed that it was not very crowded. Probably because other customers are feeling the same way. I will no longer go to the Culver's in New Lenox. I will be now heading to TInley Park. What a shame...waiting so long for a Culver's to come to town. Also, the food was not up to par. The pot roast was greasy and fatty. Someone better do something quick with this location......
