Customer Reviews
I ordered take out from here because I heard great things about this place. The restaurant is very cute with outdoor seating. Food Chicken tenders: Great Cheeseburger: Decent (you have to add lettuce and etc to your burger) Fries: Good (garlic aioli was good) Oreo shake: Good Chocolate shake: Was secretly hoping it would taste like an In & Out shake The pick up process was easy. I'd definitely try the burgers again.
I wanted to give them a fair shake after seeing the rather middling reviews. The interior is nice, and not at all as small as other reviews had led me to believe, especially for a restaurant in a downtown spot. I stopped by in the early afternoon, food was ready within 10 minutes. I ordered the double cheeseburger, fries, a rootbeer, and an espresso shake. The meat had a hearty flavor and chew to it without feeling heavy or greasy. The bun was pillowy and a bit chewy. The fries were good and paired well with the aioli. I would say that the ratio of salt has been improved based on other reviews. Even though the fries are a bit on the paler side, that does not detract from their flavor and fluffiness. Rootbeer is Sprechers on tap, so no complaints there. The espresso shake wasn't super swe
We arrived with high expectations. After watching the huge crowds all summers, this must be a great experience, right? We visited on a Sunday afternoon around 3:15pm so there was no wait and the seating was abundant. We told the server behind the counter that this was our first visit and he pleasantly gave us time to take it all in. We realized we had to order at the counter and find seating. The buzzer we received upon ordering buzzed 10 minutes later to let us know our food was ready. We had the privilege of retrieving our order if we wanted to eat, despite the generous tip we left. (To the contrary, Culver’s doesn’t offer tipping but delivers your food to your table.) When we were done, we also had the privilege of bussing our own table. The small staff was polite, the facility was cl
Heard great things about this place, but it was a huge disappointment. $40 for cold, dry undercooked fries with no flavor. Burger that had gristle and chicken sandwich which was so salty like eating straight salt that I couldn't even finish it. The buns were also hard and stale. There was no redeeming quality in this meal. Culver's is way better in freshness, flavor and half the cost.
Just opened a week ago and they are running smoothly. There was a line out the door but we got to order in 12 minutes due to good efficiency of ordering. Counter food pickup is quick. Patio is gorgeous. Courteous staff. Burgers, FRIED CHICKEN, fries and cheese sauce, milk shake, coffee toffee concrete, whiskey sour were fantastic. Adults and kids were very happy.
