Culver’s is a great place to eat with your family. Their fast food is far by the best in the Midwest. Their service is very energetic and fast but they could possibly forget stuff in your order.

The staff is friendly and the environment feels great. Great for families and a quick bite to eat. The managers take good care of their customers. We love to eat and dine here.

It took 20 minutes to get 2 burgers, pretzel bites, and 2 chillers. Then when we got the food, they gave us the wrong size and items. The young lady that brought us our food was top notch and very professional. We were given a voucher for our wait and they remade our chillers. Definitely would go back. Took one star for the few hiccups we had.

Love this place but recently have noticed NO Napkins in the bag. I come at least 2 twice a week and have been using the bag as a napkin. Not ideal so please management remind the team to include napkins. Thanks!

The two drive-through lanes really help reduce long wait times on a Sunday afternoon. The food was great, and the service was excellent as well.

I’m crazy about frozen custard. I can’t believe it hasn’t taken off in Canada yet? We always stop at a Culvers when we’re in the states so I can get my fix. The restaurant is very clean and family friendly. They have a daily frozen custard special that’s super good value! There’s loads of parking around the building. They have smash burgers and they are deadly! I got a double cheeseburger and my mother in law got a triple! Hahaha I highly recommend them. They bring the food right to your table if you dine in. The atmosphere is kid and family friendly.
