We love Culvers...We go to Culvers all the time and usually have no problems. But this Culvers served me a very burnt (black toast) patty melt. I found it funny just the one side was burnt and it was served to me with the unburned side up, like I wouldnt notice! I am usually pretty forgiving, but then they forgot... More

Was impressed with the menu items. Of course it is fast food, but the quality for fast food is pretty good. They have the crinkle cut fries which are my favorite.

While traveling in Des Moines, Iowa I stopped at Culver's. Good food. Enjoyed the concrete mixors and cheddar nuggets. Always good food.

Great burger and fries. Service is quick and they bring the food to your table. Clean spacious and airy dining area. Staff is super friendly. They have their own brand of root beer that is the bomb. Ice cream desserts are big and delicious. You can get ice cream or frozen yogurt. They also do plate lunches like chicken and... More

If you have never been in a Culver's you have to try it. The hamburgers remind of the good old days when they were cooked on a flat top grill. The custard is great....although I stick to vanilla...seems that is the way it is just supposed to be....nothing flavored and nothing extra.

Took the wife for an ice cream. The have a decent variety. The custard is made a little different so it's thicker. Maybe it was just the thickness but it didn't seem that special.

Best butter grilled burgers for the price. And, finish it off with smooth, creamy frozen custard - what could be better!

If you want a good 'Fast Food' joint, you can't go wrong at any Culvers. Their FOD (Flavor of the Day) custard is usually very good. I like the mashed potatoe option instead of the usual french fries, which are good there also. In the summer, the Raspberry Lemon Ice is my choice for a quick cool off desert. Sweet... More
