The service at the Chandler location was so awesome! They really made us feel welcome!

I got a BOGO coupon in the mail yesterday. C & I decided to try it out & compare it to our experience at BurgerFi. C ordered a single burger value meal basket which inc fries & drink.($6.19) He ordered the burger with American cheese & extra, extra, extra, extra pickles. He got 7 pickles. Thumbs down from the pickle king. However, C loved the burger. Said it tasted great. The crinkle fries were good he said. Not his favorite but WAY better than last nights salt fest at BurgerFi. I ordered the Mushroom Swiss value basket which again inc fries & a drink. ($8.19) I didn't realize this was a double burger. A big burger for me. Yummy good stuff though. Flavorful patties, gooey cheese & enough mushrooms to taste. I agree with C, the fries were ok but nothing special. Yummy burgers, not enough pickles, average fries. 4 Stars.

Excellent burgers and concrete mixers! Cheaper than Five Guys and much better. Everyone should try it the next time they are thinking fast food. Also, try the cheese curds

Best fast food I've ever had! Had the butter burger, cheese curds, and a blizzard style custard with reese's pieces and cookie dough. When I got the food I was a little weary because it looked like really small portion sizes for the price, but everything is so high quality and delicious :)

Best fast food burger I've ever eaten in my life! I came to Tempe to stay for 2 weeks & ate here a total of 5 times over those 2 weeks, THAT'S how good it is. They're cheddar bacon butter burger is where it's at, and the cheese curds just make everything about your lunch/dinner 100x better. The custard is also really delicious, I never leave without getting some.

Lived in PHX for 10 years and first time I tried the place. The burgers are very good, they are different flatter and crispier on the outside so different but they taste great (see my pictures). I had 2 for 1 coupon and I planned to only eat one but ended up eating both because they were so good. Cheese curds are interesting as well. The ice cream, or frozen custard has many options and toppings so you can get pretty much anything to fit your needs. The fish sandwich is better than Burger King and McDonalds. Very good place for kids. There was 1 nice TV in there so if they happen to be showing your channel then your in luck. Definitely better than other fast food dinning areas.

Out of the world custards. Try out orange cream and caramel cashew for an ultimate experience.

I really enjoyed my visit to this very clean restaurant - and now I am wondering how I never heard of it. Here is my compact rating for each item I consumed: Regular butter burger with everything on it - 4 out of 5 stars - not quite as good as Steak n' Shake or In-N-Out, but definitely very good, just a little "dry" for my liking. Fries - 5 out of 5 stars. Onion Rings - 5 out of 5. Cole Slaw - 5 out of 5. Rocky Road Sundae - 5+ stars out of 5. On top of all that, the restaurant and bathrooms were very clean. Service was outstanding. I will definitely be back soon!

Fast food with friendly Midwestern style service. They offer your typical fare with burgers, chicken, and fish options, and also have shakes and frozen custard. I like how they have a flavor of the day for their custards, and that you can check to see what it is on their website. Each time I've been here food has been consistent and fast. The interior itself is clean and the seats are comfortable. For those that don't have a lot of time for lunch and want a filling meal, this is your place.

Dairy Queen is better . I wanted strawberries and fruit in vanilla custard . They add sickly sweet syrup and further more it was so melted it was drinkable with a lump of soft serve in the middle . Yuck . Two stars for the friendly service and the fact that the vanilla soft serve on it's own is good .

We visit this Culver's once a week and drive a good distance just to eat here, it's really that good. We pass In N Out and Habits along the way. Chicken tenders, butterburgers, fish, cheese curds and custard are just a few of our favorites. Snack Pak full sized cheeseburger with everything, sm soda and sm fries for 4something. My kids get a choice of entree, sm fries, sm drink and custard for only $5andchange (the custard alone is $2 so it's a great deal). If your kids are too full save the custard coupon for a rainy day or an afternoon snack. On the kid's meal bag is a token, save 10 and get a free kids meal or shirt or toy. If you do the survey on the receipt you get a free custard (again $2). We haven't had to purchase a custard in 2 years. Sign up for their email club and get a free basket meal of your choice (fish, burger, chicken, shrimp), get free custard on your birthday (and you can add your family members too). Email periodically sends coupons for free items or buy 1 get 1, and also a few easy games or contests a year and winning odds are really good. Just today in the grocery ad mailer pak on the back of the newspaper ad there was a buy 1 basket get 1 free. On top of all this, the employees are awesome and helpful, like I said, we drive a pretty good deal to eat here because the food is so good and the employees are so friendly. If you ever have a problem talk to them, they will help you immediately.

Pretty much a mixed bag. I'm a newbie to the area but so far, they have the best frozen dessert option ever. The custard is amazing! Great flavor, and a very smooth texture. The Butter Burger has actually replaced Five Guys as my favorite fast/casual burger. The cheese curds are quite possibly the best in the business and the fries are always cooked perfectly. But with all of that good comes some bad. The fish is overpriced and just ok, I expect amazing when I'm paying $12+ for fast food fried fish. I'd pay $7 for it any day but never again at $12. The chicken tenders were possibly the worse chicken tenders I've ever had. Greasy, small, and not whole chicken . . . more like a bigger nugget. I ate one and threw the rest away.

Can't believe I haven't done a review for this Culvers yet! This locAtion is the best of the 4 we have been to in the valley(Mesa, Avondale, Camelback, and this). Arguably better than the million in the Midwest where I am from as well. I would give the others four because all Culver's serve fresh and fabulous food. Keep in mind that this chain cooks everything to order so do not expect McDonald's timing...but the quality is much higher. The service at this location tends to go above and beyond. Someone walking around, seeing what they can get for you, such as refills, high chairs, plastic ware, etc. They have disposable bibs and a wonderful outdoor seating area with fans. Food-wise, butter burger deluxe is a must for a newbie, and the buffalo chicken strips are amazing. Family/friends also like the shrimp basket, pot roast sandwich and tenderloin. The cheese curds are the best EVER and order ranch with them. They give you a lot of them, but you may not want to share. :-) the crinkle cut fries are always cooked perfectly. Lastly, order a concrete or a sundae "for later." You bring up your receipt after your meal and they create and bring out your treats. I like small snickers and Reese's concrete or a strawberry sundae...with actual real fruit, not pie filling crapola.

The burgers were amazing. I had the bacon butter burger. The portions were large. The prices were reasonable. Did I mention that the burgers were amazing? The staff was friendly, fast and competent. This, in my opinion, is one of the best burger joints in the east valley.

Been here before and was disappointed by the sundae we got, it was very small and maybe only had 1 cookie in the whole thing. We tried it again today to have lunch and was pleasantly surprised at how well they do burgers and sandwiches. Their cheese curds were really tasty as well and the malt had decent malt flavor. This has changed our initial idea of the restaurant. I would still go somewhere else for a sundae though.

I stopped in during break from classes one day, but never heard of them before. I grew up on pork tenderloins growing up in the midwest and it's hard to find a good tasting, mouth watering tenderloin sandwich..well Culvers has it..the tenderloin hangs over the bread, it's hot, and it's seasoned perfect..go get one..a must

Great customer service. This location is very knowledgeable about the menu and offer upgrades on items in a very professional manner. There are, however, a couple items that need attention. The Men's restroom was dirty for the store only being open less than an hour. The windows in the dining area had fingerprints and were pretty dirty all around. The napkin holders looked like they had about a week's worth of sticky fingers on the slots. I frequent this location and have seen it at higher standards. Would be a five star review, but please standardize clean up a little more and I'd be happy to give it!

I have eaten at a few Culver's locations. The food and ice cream have always been excellent. They have a nicely diverse menu and of the different items I have tried they always were prepared well. So many times a restaurant with this many different menu items would have some good and some ok, but not Culver's. Don't forget the ice cream!

Jennifer F.
We just had a worse experience at a Culvers ever! And the manager Christina did nothing to fix the situation she actually made it worse. I guess it was our fault we came to close to closing time and they wanted to leave so four different people came to ask us... are you using this, can we put away this, can we do this. we were being put out of the restaurant it was very very rude. After about 10 minutes of this we finally gave up and told him we were leaving they did not care I'm sure we made your f****** day.

A second try and my last. The pub burger was a double patty with onion strings on an onion roll. Burnt edges of the burger just bland taste beside the onion overkill. It's too bad, it's close just not for me.

CHRISTINA WAS AMAZING!!! I never write reviews but I had to the second I got in my car to leave. Our experience was totally awesome and it's so rare to find outstanding costumer service these days. Thank you Christina for being so personable! Very obvious she knows her menu, too! We will be back! Tomorrow! ;)

I SO wanted to like Culver's. After finishing up an evening meeting we walked over to have dinner. We placed our order quickly and then went to fill our drinks. I know it was just after the rush hour but the drink station was a mess. There was liquid all over the place and straw paper wrappers everywhere. The food was just so-so. I had a sour dough burger. The bread was mushy and the burger tasteless. Did not like the cheese curds at all. My husband had the fish and he said it was average. For what it cost, I'd rather go elsewhere. One thing I loved, the quotes on the walls were nicely done and inspirational. Good job here.

Brandon H.
The Culver's staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The building and facilities are clean and functional with a couple nice decorative touches. Culver's offers some outstanding food. The shaved prime rib sandwich and Culver's Deluxe burger are both excellent. The side dishes are also a notch above most fast food places. Half of the reason to come to Culver's is some great dessert. The shake I had on my last visit was above average. However, their Concrete Mixers are extremely delicious and highly recommended.

I've driven past Culver's a ton of times, and we decided to stop in for dessert after having sushi down the street. The inside is very bright and clean and the cashiers were nice and helpful. I had a mini frozen custard with brownie and fudge which was delightful. I do want to come back and try their butter burgers
(4)
Preston S.
Oh the butterburgers and the concretes. Got to love the frozen custard concretes. That you can mix in any two things you want from there list of many. Inside tip: They also have chocolate custard not just vanilla. This I found out after a few visits. I always get chocolate custard with chocolate sauce and Oreo cookies. I think its the best. The burgers are really good. So are the onion rings and the cheese curds. I have never heard of cheese curds before Culvers. Must be a Wisconsin thing but they are really good. To call them fried cheese balls don't do them justice. Just try them. If you like cheese you will like these. The service is pretty good. Sure it takes awhile to get your food but that just means they are making it fresh. For that I am willing to wait. Plus they give you your concrete first so you can enjoy that while you pull forward in the drive thru to wait for the rest of your order. They give you a number and then bring out your food right to your car. It is a little expensive to eat more than once a week but it is well worth it.

I brought a good friend here, as his introduction to the chain. After spending time in the Midwest I had grown a liking for Culver's custard. However, the service was really slow and my friend ended up with food poisoning that day. While it might be an unconnected incident, I won't be coming back to this location.

Yanira S.
Culver's is alright by me. I enjoyed the fresh ingredients on my burger and the clean, spacious atmosphere. There were numerous employees on hand to handle the fairly new Chandler restaurant. I've had better fries at McDonald's but I appreciate the comfortable atmosphere Culver's has established. I've never tried frozen custard before so that was a new experience. Boy, that stuff is THICK. It was a little too much for me as a dessert and I most likely will stop by here again for a burger or a custard but not both in the same meal, too much food!

I have lived in Arizona for 11 years and have heard of Culvers from quite a few friends, all talking about the butter burger and ice cream/frozen custard, so having never been to a Culvers I thought um sounds like a cool little ice cream parlor that I should investigate. It's Tuesday night and the kids and I don't feel like cooking and a Culvers just opened up in my area so I told them lets go for burger and shake and they said cool mom! Imagine my shock when I walked in to find out that it's a fast food place LOL I don't know why I thought it would be an ice cream parlor. We walked up to the teller and were looking at the menu and placing our order, we were a party of 4 so it took each of us a few minutes to figure out what we want, at this point there was a customer behind us being very rude and loud and complaining about families who go to order but still have to look at the menu board, why can't they just have their order ready. Really lady? lol Some peoples kids I tell ya. I thought since I am here I am going to try the butterburger cheese, fries and a chocolate shake! My burger I made a single, I can't eat a double burger, it had cheese, lettuce, pickle and onion, it actually was a great burger, I was surprised. Now when I have a want for In n Out I just might head on over to Culvers. The fries, I like them, they are the crinkled cut fries they were good and the chocolate shake!! Omg soo thick and creamy! DELISH!! Glad I finally went and checked the place out, the kids, (who are really young adults, age range frm 20 years to 16 years) loved the place too!

Great place to go if you want your food fast but don't want to feel like you're sitting in a fast food restaurant. The eating area is clean and much classier than your average booth at Burger King. There are large flat screen TVs with SpongeBob for the kids (or, you know, me) and ESPN for disinterested dads (or in my case, my boyfriend). The burgers are about as good as you get them at Smashburger - but Culver's is a better value, in my opinion. For about $10 at Smashburger you can get fries, a drink, and a regular sized burger. At Culver's, for about the same price you can get a double burger, fries, and a medium concrete mixer. So, yes, the burgers are wonderful, and the custard is as heavenly as it sounds. The fries, I'm pretty sure, were brought in from the closest frozen food section. (They didn't taste bad at all, just not like what you would expect at a restaurant.) The service was good; not perfect, but definitely acceptable. I will definitely be back, but I still need to try Smashburger's Nutter Butter shake...

Descent for fast food. The meat was fresh and juicy. Ingredients seemed fresh. One of our orders was wrong but they corrected it promptly and politely. No complaints but nothing amazing either. Good for what it is.

I was disappointed in this location. The food was great..similar to other locations but the restaurant wasn't clean like the other locations that I've visited. It was 7:45 at night so they were not that busy. I usually go to Culvers every blue moon because I like the cleanliness of the restaurant as well as the food. This location was a disappointment. Culvers is known for their burgers and shakes but also for how clean they are. I won't be returning to this location.

I knew nothing about Culvers until the TV commercials. Then, I had to give 'em a try. Like the ad says - delicious! Well-prepared food. Hot, fresh, delicious. Began going through the drive through... OOPS! CONSISTENTLY,CULVERS GETS THE ORDER WRONG on something in the drive through!! I've even called and complained and got coupons for two free baskets on my next visit! To no avail. It seems, even when they are not busy, they cannot get orders right. Now, I know this is not Cordon Bleu food preparation, but c'mon!? Asking for a cheddar butter burger, with lettuce, onion and A-1 sauce ONLY cannot be that difficult. But, it's always wrong. Either complete with tomato,mayo, etc. Or minus the requested A-1 sauce! Sigh. Regardless, the frozen custard is always terrific! My advice, eat in only. They bring you the food, and, if it's wrong, fix it. This place would be damn near perfect if they sold beer! Just don't drive through if you have any special requests!

Kimberly D.
I grew up with Culvers in the Midwest so I was happy to find this location nearby in Chandler. While I have always had a pretty good experience here customer service wise even during the lunch rush the food has always been only so so. The burgers lately have been really bland which is not the culvers that I remember from back home. The buffalo chicken fingers are really tasty along with the onion rings but lately leaving Culvers I feel unsatisfied. I will give Culvers another shot but I hope the flavor of the burgers improves a bit. So far it's just meh...

Really good place for lunch or fast food better than your average burger joint! Culvers offer more of a deluxe burger. They are good size and offer many tasty sides the cheese curds are pretty tasty as well. Also, they have seasonal combos for food and concrete mixer which i highly recommend. I mainly go to culvers for their amazing concrete mixers. Their flavor of the day always changes plus you get two free mix ins for the concrete mixers! I am a huge fan of their cheesecake options you can get just about any berry and cheesecake combo! Friendly staff and they usually have coupons available. try their- Butter burger/ with or without bacon Sweet potato fries Concrete mixers- Ask about their seasonal specialties

Customer service was excellent, food was good. We all had burgers with cheese and fries. All items were hot and very good. My only complain was that everything seemed dirty. The bathrooms needed a good scrub and the floor and tables seemed to have a film of dirt/ grease on them. We did enjoy the food and service, we will visit another location near our house next time.

Bobby M.
First of all.... CHEESE CURDS!!!!! AMAZING! second... my experience. I went through the drive through, where they told me to pull forward because they were making my food fresh. I waited 5-7 minutes as expected. when they brought my food out, they apologized about my wait and gave me a free $5 or $6 ice cream container. I appreciate the customer service and will return frequently. In tough times, customer service wins business.

The food is super good!!! Love the Better Cheddar Burger with bacon and their root beer floats are out of this world!!! The customer service inside or drive thru is always awesome. Very courteous!!! I was very please when I stopped while I was out Christmas shopping and stopped for a grilled cheese. I did the basket and then asked for them to add a gift card. They told me I could get the basket free because I was buying a gift card!!! whoo hoo!!! LOVE CULVERS!!!! The prices are reasonable and their concrete mixers are soooo good!!!!!

Went here for lunch because it was near. I had the red pepper double cheeseburger with bacon and fries and drink combo. Overpriced. Thin bacon. Nice BBQ sauce (asked for a container for the burger). Crinkle-cut fries I didn't like the taste of. Pepsi MAX tasted off. Overpriced. Near 8 bucks. You can take grandma, nice place, nice people, fast and friendly service. Clean. Overpriced. I enjoyed the burger but it went fast. Strange taste. I guess that was the "butter burger" taste. I'm not used to that. Overpriced. Burger King beats this place for flavor. Overpriced. Do they pay these prices in Wisconsin? I wasn't very full even after forcing down those fries. Maybe your grandma will be.

Melissa H.
Really wanted to like this place, but after three visits we are not fans. - Location is clean and the employees are nice but not necessarily helpful. - Burgers are a higher quality for fast food but on the expensive side. - Fries are super greasy. - Cheese curds are nasty. - Custard is not much better than a dairy queen soft serve quality. Every time we ate here, we felt like crap afterwards. So many better, cheaper fast food options.

This review is mainly for the ice cream and onion rings since I am a vegetarian. They have very good sundaes and shakes. If you decide to get a malt tell them to go easy on the malt powder they tend to do it 50/50 which is way too much for anyone. The restaurant is new so it's clean and they have a good sized patio to enjoy the AZ weather. The staff on my visits have always been very nice and helpfull. In our group they even made up a free shake for us to try that wasn't on the menu without charge. I had a surrogate tester try the butter burger and he gave it an enthusiastic thumbs up. So if I ever go back to the dark side I will re-review with a burger addition. Try: - carmel/cashew sundae - Shakes - Malts ( Go easy on the malt ) - * Butter Burger * Surrogate Tester Approved

I saw Culver's was offering a Colby Jack Pub Burger and add their delicious crinkle cut fries to the mix and I was sold. I'm proud to say they did not disappoint. I ordered a double patty CJPB. The onion roll was delicious as were the patties but I was a little disappointed in the cheese. There didn't seem to be a lot of cheese on it but it still tasted very good and I will order it again. I'll just order extra cheese I guess. I had my fries which tasted awesome and I saw that the flavor of the day was Mint Oreo so how can I pass up a concrete mixer? I have yet to have a bad meal at Culver's. Would I recommend the Colby Jack Pub Burger? You bet. Heck, I may have to order the triple patty.

Tomas C.
So here's the deal, I'm making this short and sweet because I'm planning a return trip tonight before they close (more on that later). As for the 5-star rating, it's due to two things, 1) outstanding frozen custard -- the orange creamsicle flavor of the day was outstanding, and we've been enjoying the fudge pecan on a regular basis -- and 2) the customer service is always friendly, and very informative. As for the return trip, that's due to the discovery that Culver's has veggie patties (apparently there are quite a few vegetarians that work there - FYI the patties are vegetarian, but not vegan), and they allow you to customize your burger as you see fit with various buns. Anyway, we're headed back for a veggie burger and will let you know what we find. In the interim, give it a try ... apparently there are several Culver's restaurants in the valley but this is the first in our neck of the woods.

Try the Fish Fry I'm from Milwaukee, WI. Land of the Friday Night Fish Fry. My idea of the perfect fish fry is beer battered, potato pancakes w/applesauce, cole slaw and a salted caraway snack rye bread or roll. Last Lenten season we tried a new place every Friday looking for anything that came close to what I love in Milwaukee. No dice. Chompie's for example had a good potato pancake, but the fish batter wasn't very good, cole slaw was blah and the bread was wrong (and it was like $12/$13, pricey for fish fry). Last Friday I tried the Fish Fry at Culver's and it was good. Ok, it didn't have the potato pancakes and the bread was wrong, but the fish and cole slaw was really tasty. I liked the french frys and would deal with the dinner roll vs. rye bread. Great value and quality fish fry. I'm saving my 5 stars for the ultimate, throw down, it's just like home fish fry. My only complaint about Culver's (besides Pepsi products, yuck) is that they have built this location close enough to my home that my girlish figure will surely suffer. Haven't started checking flavor of the day forecasts yet but summer will be here soon enough.

Their food is pretty darn good! Everything I have ordered there has been perfectly made so far. I've stuck to getting the double cheeseburger combo, and Culver's has been consistent so far. The cheese curds are a perfect side. People might complain a little about the prices, but I'm pretty sure the prices at Culver's are still cheaper that a place like Carl's Jr.'s. My daughters love that the kids meals come with frozen custard. Culver's customer service is at the top of the food chain. Go there and find out for yourself. I couldn't find a single reason to deduct a point.

This is the newest Culver's in the area, and now it's easy to get Culverized at lunchtime as this one is very close to the office. Tons of unhealthy comfort food here, but if you order judiciously, you can actually eat pretty healthy here. The desserts are excellent, the seating is cozy for a fast food joint, several giant TV screens on display, and free wifi. Brak is a Culver's fan.

I died and went to heaven! I have not been able to find Wisconsin Cheese curds anywhere near home. The closest place was Wisconsin! Not anymore! I found my that this place is as good as the original. The food is cooked to order, and is absolutely amazing. I had the butter burger, the way I like it, and couldn't have been happier. They really need to get one out here in Las Vegas. Just saying!

I love the cheese curds here!!! But that's about it.. I definitely like the country club location better.. This location: -clean and seems organized -burger was flavorless -my concrete mixer had wayyy too many pumps of syrup - staff was rude, unhelpful, and not attentive ( I walked up to the counter and the girls continued to joke and laugh with each other and did not even pay attention to my order) I definitely won't be coming back to this location, even though it is 3 mins away!!

WHAT.WHAT. The home of the Butter Burger(named so because the bun is buttered). These Burgers are made to order and will Karate chop your taste buds in the best way possible. The cheese curds will judo flip your buds as well. This place is giving my beloved In-N-Out a serious run for it's money. Would be 5 stars but it is a little pricey around $9 for a meal. But the service is superb (they bring your food out to you and will even pick it up for you and throw your trash away). Soleed man Soleed.

There's something just not right. For those Midwesterners very familiar with Culver's, well, I would rate this sub-par. It's still Culver's nonetheless and their fries are pretty much what I'm used to from back home, but I've been disappointed in the Butter Burger's the 2x I had been here. The taste just seems wrong, the patties over-cooked (maybe left under the heat lamp too long) and they got my order wrong both times. Eeek.

This is the home of the butter burger and frozen custard. Both are fantastic. And for all you malt fans like me (most places only have shakes) they have some of the best here. This place is consistent, service is very friendly. Is it as good as the ones in Wisconsin? Probably not, but for Arizona, this is a great place for a burger.

WOW!! I have NEVER received such excellent customer service!! After learning of my not so pleasant experience at his store, Jason the store owner contacted me right away. He was extremely pleasant and apologized. He offered to send me certificates for my next visit but then I got a phone call from him and he had left a basket on my porch filled with goodies and a lot of gift certificates. We live out in San Tan Valley so it's a good 45 minutes from his store. He drove all the way out here to personally deliver the basket. Unfortunately the sign fell off my door bell that it's out of order so I was not able to meet him in person. But I will be going back to this Chandler location for sure. He is an owner who takes customer service to a whole new level and truly appreciates each and everyone of his customers. He did tell me that this is his lively hood so he takes it very seriously. Wow, he definitely does! He has talked to all of his staff and I believe that day was just one of those off days, perhaps even on my part. Thank you Jason for really caring! I had to edit because I was so shocked by the owner's customer service that I forgot to mention how great the food is. The food is what got me hooked on Culvers to begin with. All the menu items I've tried have been really good but my favorite is the sour dough melt, it has grilled red onions in the burger patty. The root beer float is the best ever!! The custard is delicous and the mint flavor is perfect. A nice surprise is their lemon ice. The ice is shaved like fresh snow and the lemon flavor is perfect. My daughters love it with strawberry topping. A nice healthier alternative to the custard.

I really enjoyed my visit to this very clean restaurant - and now I am wondering how I never heard of it. Here is my compact rating for each item I consumed: Regular butter burger with everything on it - 4 out of 5 stars - not quite as good as Steak n' Shake or In-N-Out, but definitely very good, just a little "dry" for my liking. Fries - 5 out of 5 stars. Onion Rings - 5 out of 5. Cole Slaw - 5 out of 5. Rocky Road Sundae - 5+ stars out of 5. On top of all that, the restaurant and bathrooms were very clean. Service was outstanding. I will definitely be back soon!

I got a BOGO coupon in the mail yesterday. C & I decided to try it out & compare it to our experience at BurgerFi. C ordered a single burger value meal basket which inc fries & drink.($6.19) He ordered the burger with American cheese & extra, extra, extra, extra pickles. He got 7 pickles. Thumbs down from the pickle king. However, C loved the burger. Said it tasted great. The crinkle fries were good he said. Not his favorite but WAY better than last nights salt fest at BurgerFi. I ordered the Mushroom Swiss value basket which again inc fries & a drink. ($8.19) I didn't realize this was a double burger. A big burger for me. Yummy good stuff though. Flavorful patties, gooey cheese & enough mushrooms to taste. I agree with C, the fries were ok but nothing special. Yummy burgers, not enough pickles, average fries. 4 Stars.

Pretty much a mixed bag. I'm a newbie to the area but so far, they have the best frozen dessert option ever. The custard is amazing! Great flavor, and a very smooth texture. The Butter Burger has actually replaced Five Guys as my favorite fast/casual burger. The cheese curds are quite possibly the best in the business and the fries are always cooked perfectly. But with all of that good comes some bad. The fish is overpriced and just ok, I expect amazing when I'm paying $12+ for fast food fried fish. I'd pay $7 for it any day but never again at $12. The chicken tenders were possibly the worse chicken tenders I've ever had. Greasy, small, and not whole chicken . . . more like a bigger nugget. I ate one and threw the rest away.

Fast food with friendly Midwestern style service. They offer your typical fare with burgers, chicken, and fish options, and also have shakes and frozen custard. I like how they have a flavor of the day for their custards, and that you can check to see what it is on their website. Each time I've been here food has been consistent and fast. The interior itself is clean and the seats are comfortable. For those that don't have a lot of time for lunch and want a filling meal, this is your place.

Dairy Queen is better . I wanted strawberries and fruit in vanilla custard . They add sickly sweet syrup and further more it was so melted it was drinkable with a lump of soft serve in the middle . Yuck . Two stars for the friendly service and the fact that the vanilla soft serve on it's own is good .

Can't believe I haven't done a review for this Culvers yet! This locAtion is the best of the 4 we have been to in the valley(Mesa, Avondale, Camelback, and this). Arguably better than the million in the Midwest where I am from as well. I would give the others four because all Culver's serve fresh and fabulous food. Keep in mind that this chain cooks everything to order so do not expect McDonald's timing...but the quality is much higher. The service at this location tends to go above and beyond. Someone walking around, seeing what they can get for you, such as refills, high chairs, plastic ware, etc. They have disposable bibs and a wonderful outdoor seating area with fans. Food-wise, butter burger deluxe is a must for a newbie, and the buffalo chicken strips are amazing. Family/friends also like the shrimp basket, pot roast sandwich and tenderloin. The cheese curds are the best EVER and order ranch with them. They give you a lot of them, but you may not want to share. :-) the crinkle cut fries are always cooked perfectly. Lastly, order a concrete or a sundae "for later." You bring up your receipt after your meal and they create and bring out your treats. I like small snickers and Reese's concrete or a strawberry sundae...with actual real fruit, not pie filling crapola.

Lived in PHX for 10 years and first time I tried the place. The burgers are very good, they are different flatter and crispier on the outside so different but they taste great (see my pictures). I had 2 for 1 coupon and I planned to only eat one but ended up eating both because they were so good. Cheese curds are interesting as well. The ice cream, or frozen custard has many options and toppings so you can get pretty much anything to fit your needs. The fish sandwich is better than Burger King and McDonalds. Very good place for kids. There was 1 nice TV in there so if they happen to be showing your channel then your in luck. Definitely better than other fast food dinning areas.

Best fast food I've ever had! Had the butter burger, cheese curds, and a blizzard style custard with reese's pieces and cookie dough. When I got the food I was a little weary because it looked like really small portion sizes for the price, but everything is so high quality and delicious :)

We visit this Culver's once a week and drive a good distance just to eat here, it's really that good. We pass In N Out and Habits along the way. Chicken tenders, butterburgers, fish, cheese curds and custard are just a few of our favorites. Snack Pak full sized cheeseburger with everything, sm soda and sm fries for 4something. My kids get a choice of entree, sm fries, sm drink and custard for only $5andchange (the custard alone is $2 so it's a great deal). If your kids are too full save the custard coupon for a rainy day or an afternoon snack. On the kid's meal bag is a token, save 10 and get a free kids meal or shirt or toy. If you do the survey on the receipt you get a free custard (again $2). We haven't had to purchase a custard in 2 years. Sign up for their email club and get a free basket meal of your choice (fish, burger, chicken, shrimp), get free custard on your birthday (and you can add your family members too). Email periodically sends coupons for free items or buy 1 get 1, and also a few easy games or contests a year and winning odds are really good. Just today in the grocery ad mailer pak on the back of the newspaper ad there was a buy 1 basket get 1 free. On top of all this, the employees are awesome and helpful, like I said, we drive a pretty good deal to eat here because the food is so good and the employees are so friendly. If you ever have a problem talk to them, they will help you immediately.

Been here before and was disappointed by the sundae we got, it was very small and maybe only had 1 cookie in the whole thing. We tried it again today to have lunch and was pleasantly surprised at how well they do burgers and sandwiches. Their cheese curds were really tasty as well and the malt had decent malt flavor. This has changed our initial idea of the restaurant. I would still go somewhere else for a sundae though.

I stopped in during break from classes one day, but never heard of them before. I grew up on pork tenderloins growing up in the midwest and it's hard to find a good tasting, mouth watering tenderloin sandwich..well Culvers has it..the tenderloin hangs over the bread, it's hot, and it's seasoned perfect..go get one..a must

Best fast food burger I've ever eaten in my life! I came to Tempe to stay for 2 weeks & ate here a total of 5 times over those 2 weeks, THAT'S how good it is. They're cheddar bacon butter burger is where it's at, and the cheese curds just make everything about your lunch/dinner 100x better. The custard is also really delicious, I never leave without getting some.

Great customer service. This location is very knowledgeable about the menu and offer upgrades on items in a very professional manner. There are, however, a couple items that need attention. The Men's restroom was dirty for the store only being open less than an hour. The windows in the dining area had fingerprints and were pretty dirty all around. The napkin holders looked like they had about a week's worth of sticky fingers on the slots. I frequent this location and have seen it at higher standards. Would be a five star review, but please standardize clean up a little more and I'd be happy to give it!

I have eaten at a few Culver's locations. The food and ice cream have always been excellent. They have a nicely diverse menu and of the different items I have tried they always were prepared well. So many times a restaurant with this many different menu items would have some good and some ok, but not Culver's. Don't forget the ice cream!

We just had a worse experience at a Culvers ever! And the manager Christina did nothing to fix the situation she actually made it worse. I guess it was our fault we came to close to closing time and they wanted to leave so four different people came to ask us... are you using this, can we put away this, can we do this. we were being put out of the restaurant it was very very rude. After about 10 minutes of this we finally gave up and told him we were leaving they did not care I'm sure we made your f****** day.

A second try and my last. The pub burger was a double patty with onion strings on an onion roll. Burnt edges of the burger just bland taste beside the onion overkill. It's too bad, it's close just not for me.

CHRISTINA WAS AMAZING!!! I never write reviews but I had to the second I got in my car to leave. Our experience was totally awesome and it's so rare to find outstanding costumer service these days.

I SO wanted to like Culver's. After finishing up an evening meeting we walked over to have dinner. We placed our order quickly and then went to fill our drinks. I know it was just after the rush hour but the drink station was a mess. There was liquid all over the place and straw paper wrappers everywhere. The food was just so-so. I had a sour dough burger. The bread was mushy and the burger tasteless. Did not like the cheese curds at all. My husband had the fish and he said it was average. For what it cost, I'd rather go elsewhere. One thing I loved, the quotes on the walls were nicely done and inspirational. Good job here.

The Culver's staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The building and facilities are clean and functional with a couple nice decorative touches. Culver's offers some outstanding food. The shaved prime rib sandwich and Culver's Deluxe burger are both excellent. The side dishes are also a notch above most fast food places. Half of the reason to come to Culver's is some great dessert. The shake I had on my last visit was above average. However, their Concrete Mixers are extremely delicious and highly recommended.

I've driven past Culver's a ton of times, and we decided to stop in for dessert after having sushi down the street. The inside is very bright and clean and the cashiers were nice and helpful. I had a mini frozen custard with brownie and fudge which was delightful. I do want to come back and try their butter burgers

Oh the butterburgers and the concretes. Got to love the frozen custard concretes. That you can mix in any two things you want from there list of many. Inside tip: They also have chocolate custard not just vanilla. This I found out after a few visits. I always get chocolate custard with chocolate sauce and Oreo cookies. I think its the best. The burgers are really good. So are the onion rings and the cheese curds. I have never heard of cheese curds before Culvers. Must be a Wisconsin thing but they are really good. To call them fried cheese balls don't do them justice. Just try them. If you like cheese you will like these. The service is pretty good. Sure it takes awhile to get your food but that just means they are making it fresh. For that I am willing to wait. Plus they give you your concrete first so you can enjoy that while you pull forward in the drive thru to wait for the rest of your order. They give you a number and then bring out your food right to your car. It is a little expensive to eat more than once a week but it is well worth it.

I have lived in Arizona for 11 years and have heard of Culvers from quite a few friends, all talking about the butter burger and ice cream/frozen custard, so having never been to a Culvers I thought um sounds like a cool little ice cream parlor that I should investigate. It's Tuesday night and the kids and I don't feel like cooking and a Culvers just opened up in my area so I told them lets go for burger and shake and they said cool mom! Imagine my shock when I walked in to find out that it's a fast food place LOL I don't know why I thought it would be an ice cream parlor. We walked up to the teller and were looking at the menu and placing our order, we were a party of 4 so it took each of us a few minutes to figure out what we want, at this point there was a customer behind us being very rude and loud and complaining about families who go to order but still have to look at the menu board, why can't they just have their order ready. Really lady? lol Some peoples kids I tell ya. I thought since I am here I am going to try the butterburger cheese, fries and a chocolate shake! My burger I made a single, I can't eat a double burger, it had cheese, lettuce, pickle and onion, it actually was a great burger, I was surprised. Now when I have a want for In n Out I just might head on over to Culvers. The fries, I like them, they are the crinkled cut fries they were good and the chocolate shake!! Omg soo thick and creamy! DELISH!! Glad I finally went and checked the place out, the kids, (who are really young adults, age range frm 20 years to 16 years) loved the place too!

Great place to go if you want your food fast but don't want to feel like you're sitting in a fast food restaurant. The eating area is clean and much classier than your average booth at Burger King. There are large flat screen TVs with SpongeBob for the kids (or, you know, me) and ESPN for disinterested dads (or in my case, my boyfriend). The burgers are about as good as you get them at Smashburger - but Culver's is a better value, in my opinion. For about $10 at Smashburger you can get fries, a drink, and a regular sized burger. At Culver's, for about the same price you can get a double burger, fries, and a medium concrete mixer. So, yes, the burgers are wonderful, and the custard is as heavenly as it sounds. The fries, I'm pretty sure, were brought in from the closest frozen food section. (They didn't taste bad at all, just not like what you would expect at a restaurant.) The service was good; not perfect, but definitely acceptable. I will definitely be back, but I still need to try Smashburger's Nutter Butter shake...

I was disappointed in this location. The food was great..similar to other locations but the restaurant wasn't clean like the other locations that I've visited. It was 7:45 at night so they were not that busy. I usually go to Culvers every blue moon because I like the cleanliness of the restaurant as well as the food. This location was a disappointment. Culvers is known for their burgers and shakes but also for how clean they are. I won't be returning to this location.

I brought a good friend here, as his introduction to the chain. After spending time in the Midwest I had grown a liking for Culver's custard. However, the service was really slow and my friend ended up with food poisoning that day. While it might be an unconnected incident, I won't be coming back to this location.

I knew nothing about Culvers until the TV commercials. Then, I had to give 'em a try. Like the ad says - delicious! Well-prepared food. Hot, fresh, delicious. Began going through the drive through... OOPS! CONSISTENTLY,CULVERS GETS THE ORDER WRONG on something in the drive through!! I've even called and complained and got coupons for two free baskets on my next visit! To no avail. It seems, even when they are not busy, they cannot get orders right. Now, I know this is not Cordon Bleu food preparation, but c'mon!? Asking for a cheddar butter burger, with lettuce, onion and A-1 sauce ONLY cannot be that difficult. But, it's always wrong. Either complete with tomato,mayo, etc. Or minus the requested A-1 sauce! Sigh. Regardless, the frozen custard is always terrific! My advice, eat in only. They bring you the food, and, if it's wrong, fix it. This place would be damn near perfect if they sold beer! Just don't drive through if you have any special requests!

I grew up with Culvers in the Midwest so I was happy to find this location nearby in Chandler. While I have always had a pretty good experience here customer service wise even during the lunch rush the food has always been only so so. The burgers lately have been really bland which is not the culvers that I remember from back home. The buffalo chicken fingers are really tasty along with the onion rings but lately leaving Culvers I feel unsatisfied. I will give Culvers another shot but I hope the flavor of the burgers improves a bit. So far it's just meh...

Really good place for lunch or fast food better than your average burger joint! Culvers offer more of a deluxe burger. They are good size and offer many tasty sides the cheese curds are pretty tasty as well. Also, they have seasonal combos for food and concrete mixer which i highly recommend. I mainly go to culvers for their amazing concrete mixers. Their flavor of the day always changes plus you get two free mix ins for the concrete mixers! I am a huge fan of their cheesecake options you can get just about any berry and cheesecake combo! Friendly staff and they usually have coupons available. try their- Butter burger/ with or without bacon Sweet potato fries Concrete mixers- Ask about their seasonal specialties

Customer service was excellent, food was good. We all had burgers with cheese and fries. All items were hot and very good. My only complain was that everything seemed dirty. The bathrooms needed a good scrub and the floor and tables seemed to have a film of dirt/ grease on them. We did enjoy the food and service, we will visit another location near our house next time.

First of all.... CHEESE CURDS!!!!! AMAZING! second... my experience. I went through the drive through, where they told me to pull forward because they were making my food fresh. I waited 5-7 minutes as expected. when they brought my food out, they apologized about my wait and gave me a free $5 or $6 ice cream container. I appreciate the customer service and will return frequently. In tough times, customer service wins business.

Culver's is alright by me. I enjoyed the fresh ingredients on my burger and the clean, spacious atmosphere. There were numerous employees on hand to handle the fairly new Chandler restaurant. I've had better fries at McDonald's but I appreciate the comfortable atmosphere Culver's has established. I've never tried frozen custard before so that was a new experience. Boy, that stuff is THICK. It was a little too much for me as a dessert and I most likely will stop by here again for a burger or a custard but not both in the same meal, too much food!

The food is super good!!! Love the Better Cheddar Burger with bacon and their root beer floats are out of this world!!! The customer service inside or drive thru is always awesome. Very courteous!!! I was very please when I stopped while I was out Christmas shopping and stopped for a grilled cheese. I did the basket and then asked for them to add a gift card. They told me I could get the basket free because I was buying a gift card!!! whoo hoo!!! LOVE CULVERS!!!! The prices are reasonable and their concrete mixers are soooo good!!!!!

Went here for lunch because it was near. I had the red pepper double cheeseburger with bacon and fries and drink combo. Overpriced. Thin bacon. Nice BBQ sauce (asked for a container for the burger). Crinkle-cut fries I didn't like the taste of. Pepsi MAX tasted off. Overpriced. Near 8 bucks. You can take grandma, nice place, nice people, fast and friendly service. Clean. Overpriced. I enjoyed the burger but it went fast. Strange taste. I guess that was the "butter burger" taste. I'm not used to that. Overpriced. Burger King beats this place for flavor. Overpriced. Do they pay these prices in Wisconsin? I wasn't very full even after forcing down those fries. Maybe your grandma will be.

Really wanted to like this place, but after three visits we are not fans. - Location is clean and the employees are nice but not necessarily helpful. - Burgers are a higher quality for fast food but on the expensive side. - Fries are super greasy. - Cheese curds are nasty. - Custard is not much better than a dairy queen soft serve quality. Every time we ate here, we felt like crap afterwards. So many better, cheaper fast food options.

This review is mainly for the ice cream and onion rings since I am a vegetarian. They have very good sundaes and shakes. If you decide to get a malt tell them to go easy on the malt powder they tend to do it 50/50 which is way too much for anyone. The restaurant is new so it's clean and they have a good sized patio to enjoy the AZ weather. The staff on my visits have always been very nice and helpfull. In our group they even made up a free shake for us to try that wasn't on the menu without charge. I had a surrogate tester try the butter burger and he gave it an enthusiastic thumbs up. So if I ever go back to the dark side I will re-review with a burger addition. Try: - carmel/cashew sundae - Shakes - Malts ( Go easy on the malt ) - * Butter Burger * Surrogate Tester Approved

I saw Culver's was offering a Colby Jack Pub Burger and add their delicious crinkle cut fries to the mix and I was sold. I'm proud to say they did not disappoint. I ordered a double patty CJPB. The onion roll was delicious as were the patties but I was a little disappointed in the cheese. There didn't seem to be a lot of cheese on it but it still tasted very good and I will order it again. I'll just order extra cheese I guess. I had my fries which tasted awesome and I saw that the flavor of the day was Mint Oreo so how can I pass up a concrete mixer? I have yet to have a bad meal at Culver's. Would I recommend the Colby Jack Pub Burger? You bet. Heck, I may have to order the triple patty.

So here's the deal, I'm making this short and sweet because I'm planning a return trip tonight before they close (more on that later). As for the 5-star rating, it's due to two things, 1) outstanding frozen custard -- the orange creamsicle flavor of the day was outstanding, and we've been enjoying the fudge pecan on a regular basis -- and 2) the customer service is always friendly, and very informative. As for the return trip, that's due to the discovery that Culver's has veggie patties (apparently there are quite a few vegetarians that work there - FYI the patties are vegetarian, but not vegan), and they allow you to customize your burger as you see fit with various buns. Anyway, we're headed back for a veggie burger and will let you know what we find. In the interim, give it a try ... apparently there are several Culver's restaurants in the valley but this is the first in our neck of the woods.

Try the Fish Fry I'm from Milwaukee, WI. Land of the Friday Night Fish Fry. My idea of the perfect fish fry is beer battered, potato pancakes w/applesauce, cole slaw and a salted caraway snack rye bread or roll. Last Lenten season we tried a new place every Friday looking for anything that came close to what I love in Milwaukee. No dice. Chompie's for example had a good potato pancake, but the fish batter wasn't very good, cole slaw was blah and the bread was wrong (and it was like $12/$13, pricey for fish fry). Last Friday I tried the Fish Fry at Culver's and it was good. Ok, it didn't have the potato pancakes and the bread was wrong, but the fish and cole slaw was really tasty. I liked the french frys and would deal with the dinner roll vs. rye bread. Great value and quality fish fry. I'm saving my 5 stars for the ultimate, throw down, it's just like home fish fry. My only complaint about Culver's (besides Pepsi products, yuck) is that they have built this location close enough to my home that my girlish figure will surely suffer. Haven't started checking flavor of the day forecasts yet but summer will be here soon enough.

Their food is pretty darn good! Everything I have ordered there has been perfectly made so far. I've stuck to getting the double cheeseburger combo, and Culver's has been consistent so far. The cheese curds are a perfect side. People might complain a little about the prices, but I'm pretty sure the prices at Culver's are still cheaper that a place like Carl's Jr.'s. My daughters love that the kids meals come with frozen custard. Culver's customer service is at the top of the food chain. Go there and find out for yourself. I couldn't find a single reason to deduct a point.

This is the newest Culver's in the area, and now it's easy to get Culverized at lunchtime as this one is very close to the office. Tons of unhealthy comfort food here, but if you order judiciously, you can actually eat pretty healthy here. The desserts are excellent, the seating is cozy for a fast food joint, several giant TV screens on display, and free wifi. Brak is a Culver's fan.

I died and went to heaven! I have not been able to find Wisconsin Cheese curds anywhere near home. The closest place was Wisconsin! Not anymore! I found my that this place is as good as the original. The food is cooked to order, and is absolutely amazing. I had the butter burger, the way I like it, and couldn't have been happier. They really need to get one out here in Las Vegas. Just saying!

I love the cheese curds here!!! But that's about it.. I definitely like the country club location better.. This location: -clean and seems organized -burger was flavorless -my concrete mixer had wayyy too many pumps of syrup - staff was rude, unhelpful, and not attentive ( I walked up to the counter and the girls continued to joke and laugh with each other and did not even pay attention to my order) I definitely won't be coming back to this location, even though it is 3 mins away!!

WHAT.WHAT. The home of the Butter Burger(named so because the bun is buttered). These Burgers are made to order and will Karate chop your taste buds in the best way possible. The cheese curds will judo flip your buds as well. This place is giving my beloved In-N-Out a serious run for it's money. Would be 5 stars but it is a little pricey around $9 for a meal. But the service is superb (they bring your food out to you and will even pick it up for you and throw your trash away). Soleed man Soleed.

There's something just not right. For those Midwesterners very familiar with Culver's, well, I would rate this sub-par. It's still Culver's nonetheless and their fries are pretty much what I'm used to from back home, but I've been disappointed in the Butter Burger's the 2x I had been here. The taste just seems wrong, the patties over-cooked (maybe left under the heat lamp too long) and they got my order wrong both times. Eeek.

Archie F.
This is the home of the butter burger and frozen custard. Both are fantastic. And for all you malt fans like me (most places only have shakes) they have some of the best here. This place is consistent, service is very friendly. Is it as good as the ones in Wisconsin? Probably not, but for Arizona, this is a great place for a burger.

I stopped in during break from classes one day, but never heard of them before. I grew up on pork tenderloins growing up in the midwest and it's hard to find a good tasting, mouth watering tenderloin sandwich..well Culvers has it..the tenderloin hangs over the bread, it's hot, and it's seasoned perfect..go get one..a must

Best fast food I've ever had! Had the butter burger, cheese curds, and a blizzard style custard with reese's pieces and cookie dough. When I got the food I was a little weary because it looked like really small portion sizes for the price, but everything is so high quality and delicious :)

Best fast food burger I've ever eaten in my life! I came to Tempe to stay for 2 weeks & ate here a total of 5 times over those 2 weeks, THAT'S how good it is. They're cheddar bacon butter burger is where it's at, and the cheese curds just make everything about your lunch/dinner 100x better. The custard is also really delicious, I never leave without getting some.

Great customer service. This location is very knowledgeable about the menu and offer upgrades on items in a very professional manner. There are, however, a couple items that need attention. The Men's restroom was dirty for the store only being open less than an hour. The windows in the dining area had fingerprints and were pretty dirty all around. The napkin holders looked like they had about a week's worth of sticky fingers on the slots. I frequent this location and have seen it at higher standards. Would be a five star review, but please standardize clean up a little more and I'd be happy to give it!

I have eaten at a few Culver's locations. The food and ice cream have always been excellent. They have a nicely diverse menu and of the different items I have tried they always were prepared well. So many times a restaurant with this many different menu items would have some good and some ok, but not Culver's. Don't forget the ice cream!

We just had a worse experience at a Culvers ever! And the manager Christina did nothing to fix the situation she actually made it worse. I guess it was our fault we came to close to closing time and they wanted to leave so four different people came to ask us... are you using this, can we put away this, can we do this. we were being put out of the restaurant it was very very rude. After about 10 minutes of this we finally gave up and told him we were leaving they did not care I'm sure we made your f****** day.

Can't believe I haven't done a review for this Culvers yet! This locAtion is the best of the 4 we have been to in the valley(Mesa, Avondale, Camelback, and this). Arguably better than the million in the Midwest where I am from as well. I would give the others four because all Culver's serve fresh and fabulous food. Keep in mind that this chain cooks everything to order so do not expect McDonald's timing...but the quality is much higher. The service at this location tends to go above and beyond. Someone walking around, seeing what they can get for you, such as refills, high chairs, plastic ware, etc. They have disposable bibs and a wonderful outdoor seating area with fans. Food-wise, butter burger deluxe is a must for a newbie, and the buffalo chicken strips are amazing. Family/friends also like the shrimp basket, pot roast sandwich and tenderloin. The cheese curds are the best EVER and order ranch with them. They give you a lot of them, but you may not want to share. :-) the crinkle cut fries are always cooked perfectly. Lastly, order a concrete or a sundae "for later." You bring up your receipt after your meal and they create and bring out your treats. I like small snickers and Reese's concrete or a strawberry sundae...with actual real fruit, not pie filling crapola.

Lived in PHX for 10 years and first time I tried the place. The burgers are very good, they are different flatter and crispier on the outside so different but they taste great (see my pictures). I had 2 for 1 coupon and I planned to only eat one but ended up eating both because they were so good. Cheese curds are interesting as well. The ice cream, or frozen custard has many options and toppings so you can get pretty much anything to fit your needs. The fish sandwich is better than Burger King and McDonalds. Very good place for kids. There was 1 nice TV in there so if they happen to be showing your channel then your in luck. Definitely better than other fast food dinning areas.

We visit this Culver's once a week and drive a good distance just to eat here, it's really that good. We pass In N Out and Habits along the way. Chicken tenders, butterburgers, fish, cheese curds and custard are just a few of our favorites. Snack Pak full sized cheeseburger with everything, sm soda and sm fries for 4something. My kids get a choice of entree, sm fries, sm drink and custard for only $5andchange (the custard alone is $2 so it's a great deal). If your kids are too full save the custard coupon for a rainy day or an afternoon snack. On the kid's meal bag is a token, save 10 and get a free kids meal or shirt or toy. If you do the survey on the receipt you get a free custard (again $2). We haven't had to purchase a custard in 2 years. Sign up for their email club and get a free basket meal of your choice (fish, burger, chicken, shrimp), get free custard on your birthday (and you can add your family members too). Email periodically sends coupons for free items or buy 1 get 1, and also a few easy games or contests a year and winning odds are really good. Just today in the grocery ad mailer pak on the back of the newspaper ad there was a buy 1 basket get 1 free. On top of all this, the employees are awesome and helpful, like I said, we drive a pretty good deal to eat here because the food is so good and the employees are so friendly. If you ever have a problem talk to them, they will help you immediately.

Been here before and was disappointed by the sundae we got, it was very small and maybe only had 1 cookie in the whole thing. We tried it again today to have lunch and was pleasantly surprised at how well they do burgers and sandwiches. Their cheese curds were really tasty as well and the malt had decent malt flavor. This has changed our initial idea of the restaurant. I would still go somewhere else for a sundae though.

I SO wanted to like Culver's. After finishing up an evening meeting we walked over to have dinner. We placed our order quickly and then went to fill our drinks. I know it was just after the rush hour but the drink station was a mess. There was liquid all over the place and straw paper wrappers everywhere. The food was just so-so. I had a sour dough burger. The bread was mushy and the burger tasteless. Did not like the cheese curds at all. My husband had the fish and he said it was average. For what it cost, I'd rather go elsewhere. One thing I loved, the quotes on the walls were nicely done and inspirational. Good job here.

The Culver's staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The building and facilities are clean and functional with a couple nice decorative touches. Culver's offers some outstanding food. The shaved prime rib sandwich and Culver's Deluxe burger are both excellent. The side dishes are also a notch above most fast food places. Half of the reason to come to Culver's is some great dessert. The shake I had on my last visit was above average. However, their Concrete Mixers are extremely delicious and highly recommended.

I've driven past Culver's a ton of times, and we decided to stop in for dessert after having sushi down the street. The inside is very bright and clean and the cashiers were nice and helpful.

Oh the butterburgers and the concretes. Got to love the frozen custard concretes. That you can mix in any two things you want from there list of many. Inside tip: They also have chocolate custard not just vanilla. This I found out after a few visits. I always get chocolate custard with chocolate sauce and Oreo cookies. I think its the best. The burgers are really good. So are the onion rings and the cheese curds. I have never heard of cheese curds before Culvers. Must be a Wisconsin thing but they are really good. To call them fried cheese balls don't do them justice. Just try them. If you like cheese you will like these. The service is pretty good. Sure it takes awhile to get your food but that just means they are making it fresh. For that I am willing to wait. Plus they give you your concrete first so you can enjoy that while you pull forward in the drive thru to wait for the rest of your order. They give you a number and then bring out your food right to your car. It is a little expensive to eat more than once a week but it is well worth it.

I have lived in Arizona for 11 years and have heard of Culvers from quite a few friends, all talking about the butter burger and ice cream/frozen custard, so having never been to a Culvers I thought um sounds like a cool little ice cream parlor that I should investigate. It's Tuesday night and the kids and I don't feel like cooking and a Culvers just opened up in my area so I told them lets go for burger and shake and they said cool mom! Imagine my shock when I walked in to find out that it's a fast food place LOL I don't know why I thought it would be an ice cream parlor. We walked up to the teller and were looking at the menu and placing our order, we were a party of 4 so it took each of us a few minutes to figure out what we want, at this point there was a customer behind us being very rude and loud and complaining about families who go to order but still have to look at the menu board, why can't they just have their order ready. Really lady? lol Some peoples kids I tell ya. I thought since I am here I am going to try the butterburger cheese, fries and a chocolate shake! My burger I made a single, I can't eat a double burger, it had cheese, lettuce, pickle and onion, it actually was a great burger, I was surprised. Now when I have a want for In n Out I just might head on over to Culvers. The fries, I like them, they are the crinkled cut fries they were good and the chocolate shake!! Omg soo thick and creamy! DELISH!! Glad I finally went and checked the place out, the kids, (who are really young adults, age range frm 20 years to 16 years) loved the place too!

I grew up with Culvers in the Midwest so I was happy to find this location nearby in Chandler. While I have always had a pretty good experience here customer service wise even during the lunch rush the food has always been only so so. The burgers lately have been really bland which is not the culvers that I remember from back home. The buffalo chicken fingers are really tasty along with the onion rings but lately leaving Culvers I feel unsatisfied. I will give Culvers another shot but I hope the flavor of the burgers improves a bit. So far it's just meh...

Great place to go if you want your food fast but don't want to feel like you're sitting in a fast food restaurant. The eating area is clean and much classier than your average booth at Burger King. There are large flat screen TVs with SpongeBob for the kids (or, you know, me) and ESPN for disinterested dads (or in my case, my boyfriend). The burgers are about as good as you get them at Smashburger - but Culver's is a better value, in my opinion. For about $10 at Smashburger you can get fries, a drink, and a regular sized burger. At Culver's, for about the same price you can get a double burger, fries, and a medium concrete mixer. So, yes, the burgers are wonderful, and the custard is as heavenly as it sounds. The fries, I'm pretty sure, were brought in from the closest frozen food section. (They didn't taste bad at all, just not like what you would expect at a restaurant.) The service was good; not perfect, but definitely acceptable. I will definitely be back, but I still need to try Smashburger's Nutter Butter shake...

I was disappointed in this location. The food was great..similar to other locations but the restaurant wasn't clean like the other locations that I've visited. It was 7:45 at night so they were not that busy. I usually go to Culvers every blue moon because I like the cleanliness of the restaurant as well as the food. This location was a disappointment. Culvers is known for their burgers and shakes but also for how clean they are. I won't be returning to this location.

I brought a good friend here, as his introduction to the chain. After spending time in the Midwest I had grown a liking for Culver's custard. However, the service was really slow and my friend ended up with food poisoning that day. While it might be an unconnected incident, I won't be coming back to this location.

I knew nothing about Culvers until the TV commercials. Then, I had to give 'em a try. Like the ad says - delicious! Well-prepared food. Hot, fresh, delicious. Began going through the drive through... OOPS! CONSISTENTLY,CULVERS GETS THE ORDER WRONG on something in the drive through!! I've even called and complained and got coupons for two free baskets on my next visit! To no avail. It seems, even when they are not busy, they cannot get orders right. Now, I know this is not Cordon Bleu food preparation, but c'mon!? Asking for a cheddar butter burger, with lettuce, onion and A-1 sauce ONLY cannot be that difficult. But, it's always wrong. Either complete with tomato,mayo, etc. Or minus the requested A-1 sauce! Sigh. Regardless, the frozen custard is always terrific! My advice, eat in only. They bring you the food, and, if it's wrong, fix it. This place would be damn near perfect if they sold beer! Just don't drive through if you have any special requests!

Really good place for lunch or fast food better than your average burger joint! Culvers offer more of a deluxe burger. They are good size and offer many tasty sides the cheese curds are pretty tasty as well. Also, they have seasonal combos for food and concrete mixer which i highly recommend. I mainly go to culvers for their amazing concrete mixers. Their flavor of the day always changes plus you get two free mix ins for the concrete mixers! I am a huge fan of their cheesecake options you can get just about any berry and cheesecake combo! Friendly staff and they usually have coupons available. try their- Butter burger/ with or without bacon Sweet potato fries Concrete mixers- Ask about their seasonal specialties

Customer service was excellent, food was good. We all had burgers with cheese and fries. All items were hot and very good. My only complain was that everything seemed dirty. The bathrooms needed a good scrub and the floor and tables seemed to have a film of dirt/ grease on them. We did enjoy the food and service, we will visit another location near our house next time.

First of all.... CHEESE CURDS!!!!! AMAZING! second... my experience. I went through the drive through, where they told me to pull forward because they were making my food fresh. I waited 5-7 minutes as expected. when they brought my food out, they apologized about my wait and gave me a free $5 or $6 ice cream container. I appreciate the customer service and will return frequently. In tough times, customer service wins business.

Tried the chicken tenders and they're as good as it gets. Definitely tasted as good as my friend described them. Fresh with thin breading.

Culver's is alright by me. I enjoyed the fresh ingredients on my burger and the clean, spacious atmosphere. There were numerous employees on hand to handle the fairly new Chandler restaurant. I've had better fries at McDonald's but I appreciate the comfortable atmosphere Culver's has established. I've never tried frozen custard before so that was a new experience. Boy, that stuff is THICK. It was a little too much for me as a dessert and I most likely will stop by here again for a burger or a custard but not both in the same meal, too much food!

The food is super good!!! Love the Better Cheddar Burger with bacon and their root beer floats are out of this world!!! The customer service inside or drive thru is always awesome. Very courteous!!! I was very please when I stopped while I was out Christmas shopping and stopped for a grilled cheese. I did the basket and then asked for them to add a gift card. They told me I could get the basket free because I was buying a gift card!!! whoo hoo!!! LOVE CULVERS!!!! The prices are reasonable and their concrete mixers are soooo good!!!!!

Went here for lunch because it was near. I had the red pepper double cheeseburger with bacon and fries and drink combo. Overpriced. Thin bacon. Nice BBQ sauce (asked for a container for the burger). Crinkle-cut fries I didn't like the taste of. Pepsi MAX tasted off. Overpriced. Near 8 bucks. You can take grandma, nice place, nice people, fast and friendly service. Clean. Overpriced. I enjoyed the burger but it went fast. Strange taste. I guess that was the "butter burger" taste. I'm not used to that. Overpriced. Burger King beats this place for flavor. Overpriced. Do they pay these prices in Wisconsin? I wasn't very full even after forcing down those fries. Maybe your grandma will be.

Really wanted to like this place, but after three visits we are not fans. - Location is clean and the employees are nice but not necessarily helpful. - Burgers are a higher quality for fast food but on the expensive side. - Fries are super greasy. - Cheese curds are nasty. - Custard is not much better than a dairy queen soft serve quality. Every time we ate here, we felt like crap afterwards. So many better, cheaper fast food options.

Worst chicken strips ever ! I saw the commercial that they have organically raised chicken but their chickens tastes like power and not fresh at all. Horrible !

There's something just not right. For those Midwesterners very familiar with Culver's, well, I would rate this sub-par. It's still Culver's nonetheless and their fries are pretty much what I'm used to from back home, but I've been disappointed in the Butter Burger's the 2x I had been here. The taste just seems wrong, the patties over-cooked (maybe left under the heat lamp too long) and they got my order wrong both times. Eeek.

Thank you for the delicious gift of deep fried cheese curds!

This is the home of the butter burger and frozen custard. Both are fantastic. And for all you malt fans like me (most places only have shakes) they have some of the best here. This place is consistent, service is very friendly. Is it as good as the ones in Wisconsin? Probably not, but for Arizona, this is a great place for a burger.

WOW!! I have NEVER received such excellent customer service!! After learning of my not so pleasant experience at his store, Jason the store owner contacted me right away. He was extremely pleasant and apologized. He offered to send me certificates for my next visit but then I got a phone call from him and he had left a basket on my porch filled with goodies and a lot of gift certificates. We live out in San Tan Valley so it's a good 45 minutes from his store. He drove all the way out here to personally deliver the basket. Unfortunately the sign fell off my door bell that it's out of order so I was not able to meet him in person. But I will be going back to this Chandler location for sure. He is an owner who takes customer service to a whole new level and truly appreciates each and everyone of his customers. He did tell me that this is his lively hood so he takes it very seriously. Wow, he definitely does! He has talked to all of his staff and I believe that day was just one of those off days, perhaps even on my part. Thank you Jason for really caring! I had to edit because I was so shocked by the owner's customer service that I forgot to mention how great the food is. The food is what got me hooked on Culvers to begin with. All the menu items I've tried have been really good but my favorite is the sour dough melt, it has grilled red onions in the burger patty. The root beer float is the best ever!! The custard is delicous and the mint flavor is perfect. A nice surprise is their lemon ice. The ice is shaved like fresh snow and the lemon flavor is perfect. My daughters love it with strawberry topping. A nice healthier alternative to the custard.

Great burgers and fries. Love the custard desserts.
(5)TJ H.
I got a BOGO coupon in the mail yesterday. C & I decided to try it out & compare it to our experience at BurgerFi. C ordered a single burger value meal basket which inc fries & drink.($6.19) He ordered the burger with American cheese & extra, extra, extra, extra pickles. He got 7 pickles. Thumbs down from the pickle king. However, C loved the burger. Said it tasted great. The crinkle fries were good he said. Not his favorite but WAY better than last nights salt fest at BurgerFi. I ordered the Mushroom Swiss value basket which again inc fries & a drink. ($8.19) I didn't realize this was a double burger. A big burger for me. Yummy good stuff though. Flavorful patties, gooey cheese & enough mushrooms to taste. I agree with C, the fries were ok but nothing special. Yummy burgers, not enough pickles, average fries. 4 Stars.
(4)Kim T.
Excellent burgers and concrete mixers! Cheaper than Five Guys and much better. Everyone should try it the next time they are thinking fast food. Also, try the cheese curds
(5)Maddie G.
Best fast food I've ever had! Had the butter burger, cheese curds, and a blizzard style custard with reese's pieces and cookie dough. When I got the food I was a little weary because it looked like really small portion sizes for the price, but everything is so high quality and delicious :)
(5)Ava S.
Best fast food burger I've ever eaten in my life! I came to Tempe to stay for 2 weeks & ate here a total of 5 times over those 2 weeks, THAT'S how good it is. They're cheddar bacon butter burger is where it's at, and the cheese curds just make everything about your lunch/dinner 100x better. The custard is also really delicious, I never leave without getting some.
(5)EN K.
Lived in PHX for 10 years and first time I tried the place. The burgers are very good, they are different flatter and crispier on the outside so different but they taste great (see my pictures). I had 2 for 1 coupon and I planned to only eat one but ended up eating both because they were so good. Cheese curds are interesting as well. The ice cream, or frozen custard has many options and toppings so you can get pretty much anything to fit your needs. The fish sandwich is better than Burger King and McDonalds. Very good place for kids. There was 1 nice TV in there so if they happen to be showing your channel then your in luck. Definitely better than other fast food dinning areas.
(4)Alekhya G.
Out of the world custards. Try out orange cream and caramel cashew for an ultimate experience.
(5)Mike C.
I really enjoyed my visit to this very clean restaurant - and now I am wondering how I never heard of it. Here is my compact rating for each item I consumed: Regular butter burger with everything on it - 4 out of 5 stars - not quite as good as Steak n' Shake or In-N-Out, but definitely very good, just a little "dry" for my liking. Fries - 5 out of 5 stars. Onion Rings - 5 out of 5. Cole Slaw - 5 out of 5. Rocky Road Sundae - 5+ stars out of 5. On top of all that, the restaurant and bathrooms were very clean. Service was outstanding. I will definitely be back soon!
(5)Karen W.
Fast food with friendly Midwestern style service. They offer your typical fare with burgers, chicken, and fish options, and also have shakes and frozen custard. I like how they have a flavor of the day for their custards, and that you can check to see what it is on their website. Each time I've been here food has been consistent and fast. The interior itself is clean and the seats are comfortable. For those that don't have a lot of time for lunch and want a filling meal, this is your place.
(4)H A.
Dairy Queen is better . I wanted strawberries and fruit in vanilla custard . They add sickly sweet syrup and further more it was so melted it was drinkable with a lump of soft serve in the middle . Yuck . Two stars for the friendly service and the fact that the vanilla soft serve on it's own is good .
(2)Maricela C.
My husband and I come here quite often. The service is quick, staff is friendly, and the food is great(: It's a bit pricey, but overall a great experience!

We visit this Culver's once a week and drive a good distance just to eat here, it's really that good. We pass In N Out and Habits along the way. Chicken tenders, butterburgers, fish, cheese curds and custard are just a few of our favorites. Snack Pak full sized cheeseburger with everything, sm soda and sm fries for 4something. My kids get a choice of entree, sm fries, sm drink and custard for only $5andchange (the custard alone is $2 so it's a great deal). If your kids are too full save the custard coupon for a rainy day or an afternoon snack. On the kid's meal bag is a token, save 10 and get a free kids meal or shirt or toy. If you do the survey on the receipt you get a free custard (again $2). We haven't had to purchase a custard in 2 years. Sign up for their email club and get a free basket meal of your choice (fish, burger, chicken, shrimp), get free custard on your birthday (and you can add your family members too). Email periodically sends coupons for free items or buy 1 get 1, and also a few easy games or contests a year and winning odds are really good. Just today in the grocery ad mailer pak on the back of the newspaper ad there was a buy 1 basket get 1 free. On top of all this, the employees are awesome and helpful, like I said, we drive a pretty good deal to eat here because the food is so good and the employees are so friendly. If you ever have a problem talk to them, they will help you immediately.

Delicious burgers, amazing custard and a friendly staff! It was our first time in and we really loved this place. We will definitely be back
(5)Jackie H.
I always enjoy going to this fast food place. The staff is always polite and helpful. The food is fresh and tasty. The restaurant is clean. It is right by the freeway and so very convenient. Their custard is delicious!
(5)Danny B.
The Best Fast Food Burger joint in the area....love their homemade taste! They have a great menu and the kids always find something that they like. They are fast and convenient . ..
(4)Michael C.
Pretty much a mixed bag. I'm a newbie to the area but so far, they have the best frozen dessert option ever. The custard is amazing! Great flavor, and a very smooth texture. The Butter Burger has actually replaced Five Guys as my favorite fast/casual burger. The cheese curds are quite possibly the best in the business and the fries are always cooked perfectly. But with all of that good comes some bad. The fish is overpriced and just ok, I expect amazing when I'm paying $12+ for fast food fried fish. I'd pay $7 for it any day but never again at $12. The chicken tenders were possibly the worse chicken tenders I've ever had. Greasy, small, and not whole chicken . . . more like a bigger nugget. I ate one and threw the rest away.
(4)Lindsay H.
Can't believe I haven't done a review for this Culvers yet! This locAtion is the best of the 4 we have been to in the valley(Mesa, Avondale, Camelback, and this). Arguably better than the million in the Midwest where I am from as well. I would give the others four because all Culver's serve fresh and fabulous food. Keep in mind that this chain cooks everything to order so do not expect McDonald's timing...but the quality is much higher. The service at this location tends to go above and beyond. Someone walking around, seeing what they can get for you, such as refills, high chairs, plastic ware, etc. They have disposable bibs and a wonderful outdoor seating area with fans. Food-wise, butter burger deluxe is a must for a newbie, and the buffalo chicken strips are amazing. Family/friends also like the shrimp basket, pot roast sandwich and tenderloin. The cheese curds are the best EVER and order ranch with them. They give you a lot of them, but you may not want to share. :-) the crinkle cut fries are always cooked perfectly. Lastly, order a concrete or a sundae "for later." You bring up your receipt after your meal and they create and bring out your treats. I like small snickers and Reese's concrete or a strawberry sundae...with actual real fruit, not pie filling crapola.
(5)Krystal M.
Tasty! Fresh! Quality food! Friendly atmosphere! Their chicken tenders are really tender! Be sure to try the cheese curds made from Wisconsin cheese.
(5)Dana W.
Great fresh burgers, fries, & custard ice cream!!! Reasonably priced for the quality, which is great! I enjoyed the Cheddar bacon double butter burger & fries. Restaurant was clean, staff was helpful & friendly!
(4)Chuck S.
The burgers were amazing. I had the bacon butter burger. The portions were large. The prices were reasonable. Did I mention that the burgers were amazing? The staff was friendly, fast and competent. This, in my opinion, is one of the best burger joints in the east valley.
(5)Nikki E.
Been here before and was disappointed by the sundae we got, it was very small and maybe only had 1 cookie in the whole thing. We tried it again today to have lunch and was pleasantly surprised at how well they do burgers and sandwiches. Their cheese curds were really tasty as well and the malt had decent malt flavor. This has changed our initial idea of the restaurant. I would still go somewhere else for a sundae though.
(4)Bob M.
Employees always friendly. Good variety of food. Not greasy like in&out. Good overall experiences at these places
(5)Clinton P.
I stopped in during break from classes one day, but never heard of them before. I grew up on pork tenderloins growing up in the midwest and it's hard to find a good tasting, mouth watering tenderloin sandwich..well Culvers has it..the tenderloin hangs over the bread, it's hot, and it's seasoned perfect..go get one..a must
(4)Michael A.
Great customer service. This location is very knowledgeable about the menu and offer upgrades on items in a very professional manner. There are, however, a couple items that need attention. The Men's restroom was dirty for the store only being open less than an hour. The windows in the dining area had fingerprints and were pretty dirty all around. The napkin holders looked like they had about a week's worth of sticky fingers on the slots. I frequent this location and have seen it at higher standards. Would be a five star review, but please standardize clean up a little more and I'd be happy to give it!
(4)Philip D.
I have eaten at a few Culver's locations. The food and ice cream have always been excellent. They have a nicely diverse menu and of the different items I have tried they always were prepared well. So many times a restaurant with this many different menu items would have some good and some ok, but not Culver's. Don't forget the ice cream!
(4)Jennifer F.
We just had a worse experience at a Culvers ever! And the manager Christina did nothing to fix the situation she actually made it worse. I guess it was our fault we came to close to closing time and they wanted to leave so four different people came to ask us... are you using this, can we put away this, can we do this. we were being put out of the restaurant it was very very rude. After about 10 minutes of this we finally gave up and told him we were leaving they did not care I'm sure we made your f****** day.
(1)Brendan W.
A second try and my last. The pub burger was a double patty with onion strings on an onion roll. Burnt edges of the burger just bland taste beside the onion overkill. It's too bad, it's close just not for me.
(1)Britnie H.
CHRISTINA WAS AMAZING!!! I never write reviews but I had to the second I got in my car to leave. Our experience was totally awesome and it's so rare to find outstanding costumer service these days. Thank you Christina for being so personable! Very obvious she knows her menu, too! We will be back! Tomorrow! ;)
(5)Bruce W.
Typical overpriced fast food - $12.09 for a 2 piece cod, fries and coleslaw - and small drink - dry dinner roll hard butter - makes bread fall apart - not impressed on my first visit!
(2)Evette C.
Great food, great service. Culver's rocks!
(5)Jennifer T.
Great service, the food comes out fast and is delicious! They have authentic WI cheese curds and the daily ice cream specials are amazing.
(5)Martha C.
I SO wanted to like Culver's. After finishing up an evening meeting we walked over to have dinner. We placed our order quickly and then went to fill our drinks. I know it was just after the rush hour but the drink station was a mess. There was liquid all over the place and straw paper wrappers everywhere. The food was just so-so. I had a sour dough burger. The bread was mushy and the burger tasteless. Did not like the cheese curds at all. My husband had the fish and he said it was average. For what it cost, I'd rather go elsewhere. One thing I loved, the quotes on the walls were nicely done and inspirational. Good job here.
(2)Brandon H.
The Culver's staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The building and facilities are clean and functional with a couple nice decorative touches. Culver's offers some outstanding food. The shaved prime rib sandwich and Culver's Deluxe burger are both excellent. The side dishes are also a notch above most fast food places. Half of the reason to come to Culver's is some great dessert. The shake I had on my last visit was above average. However, their Concrete Mixers are extremely delicious and highly recommended.
(5)John V.
This place is special. It has it all. Great service. Excellent burgers and frozen custard. The staff were very friendly. They bring your order to your table. The burgers , chicken sandwich, fries and custard were excellent ... Culver's Chandler is special.
(5)Allen B.
Precooked burger and cold piece of cheese on top...yuk.....stick with in ans out for a fresh burger
(1)Candace R.
I've driven past Culver's a ton of times, and we decided to stop in for dessert after having sushi down the street. The inside is very bright and clean and the cashiers were nice and helpful. I had a mini frozen custard with brownie and fudge which was delightful. I do want to come back and try their butter burgers
(4)Preston S.
Oh the butterburgers and the concretes. Got to love the frozen custard concretes. That you can mix in any two things you want from there list of many. Inside tip: They also have chocolate custard not just vanilla. This I found out after a few visits. I always get chocolate custard with chocolate sauce and Oreo cookies. I think its the best. The burgers are really good. So are the onion rings and the cheese curds. I have never heard of cheese curds before Culvers. Must be a Wisconsin thing but they are really good. To call them fried cheese balls don't do them justice. Just try them. If you like cheese you will like these. The service is pretty good. Sure it takes awhile to get your food but that just means they are making it fresh. For that I am willing to wait. Plus they give you your concrete first so you can enjoy that while you pull forward in the drive thru to wait for the rest of your order. They give you a number and then bring out your food right to your car. It is a little expensive to eat more than once a week but it is well worth it.
(5)Robert I.
I brought a good friend here, as his introduction to the chain. After spending time in the Midwest I had grown a liking for Culver's custard. However, the service was really slow and my friend ended up with food poisoning that day. While it might be an unconnected incident, I won't be coming back to this location.
(2)Yanira S.
Culver's is alright by me. I enjoyed the fresh ingredients on my burger and the clean, spacious atmosphere. There were numerous employees on hand to handle the fairly new Chandler restaurant. I've had better fries at McDonald's but I appreciate the comfortable atmosphere Culver's has established. I've never tried frozen custard before so that was a new experience. Boy, that stuff is THICK. It was a little too much for me as a dessert and I most likely will stop by here again for a burger or a custard but not both in the same meal, too much food!
(3)Monica O.
I have lived in Arizona for 11 years and have heard of Culvers from quite a few friends, all talking about the butter burger and ice cream/frozen custard, so having never been to a Culvers I thought um sounds like a cool little ice cream parlor that I should investigate. It's Tuesday night and the kids and I don't feel like cooking and a Culvers just opened up in my area so I told them lets go for burger and shake and they said cool mom! Imagine my shock when I walked in to find out that it's a fast food place LOL I don't know why I thought it would be an ice cream parlor. We walked up to the teller and were looking at the menu and placing our order, we were a party of 4 so it took each of us a few minutes to figure out what we want, at this point there was a customer behind us being very rude and loud and complaining about families who go to order but still have to look at the menu board, why can't they just have their order ready. Really lady? lol Some peoples kids I tell ya. I thought since I am here I am going to try the butterburger cheese, fries and a chocolate shake! My burger I made a single, I can't eat a double burger, it had cheese, lettuce, pickle and onion, it actually was a great burger, I was surprised. Now when I have a want for In n Out I just might head on over to Culvers. The fries, I like them, they are the crinkled cut fries they were good and the chocolate shake!! Omg soo thick and creamy! DELISH!! Glad I finally went and checked the place out, the kids, (who are really young adults, age range frm 20 years to 16 years) loved the place too!
(4)Joyce T.
Great place to go if you want your food fast but don't want to feel like you're sitting in a fast food restaurant. The eating area is clean and much classier than your average booth at Burger King. There are large flat screen TVs with SpongeBob for the kids (or, you know, me) and ESPN for disinterested dads (or in my case, my boyfriend). The burgers are about as good as you get them at Smashburger - but Culver's is a better value, in my opinion. For about $10 at Smashburger you can get fries, a drink, and a regular sized burger. At Culver's, for about the same price you can get a double burger, fries, and a medium concrete mixer. So, yes, the burgers are wonderful, and the custard is as heavenly as it sounds. The fries, I'm pretty sure, were brought in from the closest frozen food section. (They didn't taste bad at all, just not like what you would expect at a restaurant.) The service was good; not perfect, but definitely acceptable. I will definitely be back, but I still need to try Smashburger's Nutter Butter shake...
(4)Mishell L.
Please keep the pepper grinder pub burger forever! Best burger I've ever gotten from a drive thru! Cheese curds are ok, but onion rings rock!
(4)Dana B.
Descent for fast food. The meat was fresh and juicy. Ingredients seemed fresh. One of our orders was wrong but they corrected it promptly and politely. No complaints but nothing amazing either. Good for what it is.
(3)Neka N.
I was disappointed in this location. The food was great..similar to other locations but the restaurant wasn't clean like the other locations that I've visited. It was 7:45 at night so they were not that busy. I usually go to Culvers every blue moon because I like the cleanliness of the restaurant as well as the food. This location was a disappointment. Culvers is known for their burgers and shakes but also for how clean they are. I won't be returning to this location.
(2)Guffaw S.
I knew nothing about Culvers until the TV commercials. Then, I had to give 'em a try. Like the ad says - delicious! Well-prepared food. Hot, fresh, delicious. Began going through the drive through... OOPS! CONSISTENTLY,CULVERS GETS THE ORDER WRONG on something in the drive through!! I've even called and complained and got coupons for two free baskets on my next visit! To no avail. It seems, even when they are not busy, they cannot get orders right. Now, I know this is not Cordon Bleu food preparation, but c'mon!? Asking for a cheddar butter burger, with lettuce, onion and A-1 sauce ONLY cannot be that difficult. But, it's always wrong. Either complete with tomato,mayo, etc. Or minus the requested A-1 sauce! Sigh. Regardless, the frozen custard is always terrific! My advice, eat in only. They bring you the food, and, if it's wrong, fix it. This place would be damn near perfect if they sold beer! Just don't drive through if you have any special requests!
(4)Kimberly D.
I grew up with Culvers in the Midwest so I was happy to find this location nearby in Chandler. While I have always had a pretty good experience here customer service wise even during the lunch rush the food has always been only so so. The burgers lately have been really bland which is not the culvers that I remember from back home. The buffalo chicken fingers are really tasty along with the onion rings but lately leaving Culvers I feel unsatisfied. I will give Culvers another shot but I hope the flavor of the burgers improves a bit. So far it's just meh...
(3)Aaron L.
Really good place for lunch or fast food better than your average burger joint! Culvers offer more of a deluxe burger. They are good size and offer many tasty sides the cheese curds are pretty tasty as well. Also, they have seasonal combos for food and concrete mixer which i highly recommend. I mainly go to culvers for their amazing concrete mixers. Their flavor of the day always changes plus you get two free mix ins for the concrete mixers! I am a huge fan of their cheesecake options you can get just about any berry and cheesecake combo! Friendly staff and they usually have coupons available. try their- Butter burger/ with or without bacon Sweet potato fries Concrete mixers- Ask about their seasonal specialties
(4)BooksandButter K.
Customer service was excellent, food was good. We all had burgers with cheese and fries. All items were hot and very good. My only complain was that everything seemed dirty. The bathrooms needed a good scrub and the floor and tables seemed to have a film of dirt/ grease on them. We did enjoy the food and service, we will visit another location near our house next time.
(4)Bobby M.
First of all.... CHEESE CURDS!!!!! AMAZING! second... my experience. I went through the drive through, where they told me to pull forward because they were making my food fresh. I waited 5-7 minutes as expected. when they brought my food out, they apologized about my wait and gave me a free $5 or $6 ice cream container. I appreciate the customer service and will return frequently. In tough times, customer service wins business.
(5)Mark Z.
Tried the chicken tenders and they're as good as it gets. Definitely tasted as good as my friend described them. Fresh with thin breading.
(5)P R.
The food is super good!!! Love the Better Cheddar Burger with bacon and their root beer floats are out of this world!!! The customer service inside or drive thru is always awesome. Very courteous!!! I was very please when I stopped while I was out Christmas shopping and stopped for a grilled cheese. I did the basket and then asked for them to add a gift card. They told me I could get the basket free because I was buying a gift card!!! whoo hoo!!! LOVE CULVERS!!!! The prices are reasonable and their concrete mixers are soooo good!!!!!
(5)R B.
Went here for lunch because it was near. I had the red pepper double cheeseburger with bacon and fries and drink combo. Overpriced. Thin bacon. Nice BBQ sauce (asked for a container for the burger). Crinkle-cut fries I didn't like the taste of. Pepsi MAX tasted off. Overpriced. Near 8 bucks. You can take grandma, nice place, nice people, fast and friendly service. Clean. Overpriced. I enjoyed the burger but it went fast. Strange taste. I guess that was the "butter burger" taste. I'm not used to that. Overpriced. Burger King beats this place for flavor. Overpriced. Do they pay these prices in Wisconsin? I wasn't very full even after forcing down those fries. Maybe your grandma will be.
(2)Melissa H.
Really wanted to like this place, but after three visits we are not fans. - Location is clean and the employees are nice but not necessarily helpful. - Burgers are a higher quality for fast food but on the expensive side. - Fries are super greasy. - Cheese curds are nasty. - Custard is not much better than a dairy queen soft serve quality. Every time we ate here, we felt like crap afterwards. So many better, cheaper fast food options.
(2)Han L.
Worst chicken strips ever ! I saw the commercial that they have organically raised chicken but their chickens tastes like power and not fresh at all. Horrible !
(1)T B.
Had chocolate, pecan and strawberry concrete mixer...delicious!!
(4)Wowezow E.
Not very good anymore. The food was too salty, the green beans were so tough, and the potatoes tasted fake. Disappointed this time.

This review is mainly for the ice cream and onion rings since I am a vegetarian. They have very good sundaes and shakes. If you decide to get a malt tell them to go easy on the malt powder they tend to do it 50/50 which is way too much for anyone. The restaurant is new so it's clean and they have a good sized patio to enjoy the AZ weather. The staff on my visits have always been very nice and helpfull. In our group they even made up a free shake for us to try that wasn't on the menu without charge. I had a surrogate tester try the butter burger and he gave it an enthusiastic thumbs up. So if I ever go back to the dark side I will re-review with a burger addition. Try: - carmel/cashew sundae - Shakes - Malts ( Go easy on the malt ) - * Butter Burger * Surrogate Tester Approved

I saw Culver's was offering a Colby Jack Pub Burger and add their delicious crinkle cut fries to the mix and I was sold. I'm proud to say they did not disappoint. I ordered a double patty CJPB. The onion roll was delicious as were the patties but I was a little disappointed in the cheese. There didn't seem to be a lot of cheese on it but it still tasted very good and I will order it again. I'll just order extra cheese I guess. I had my fries which tasted awesome and I saw that the flavor of the day was Mint Oreo so how can I pass up a concrete mixer? I have yet to have a bad meal at Culver's. Would I recommend the Colby Jack Pub Burger? You bet. Heck, I may have to order the triple patty.

So here's the deal, I'm making this short and sweet because I'm planning a return trip tonight before they close (more on that later). As for the 5-star rating, it's due to two things, 1) outstanding frozen custard -- the orange creamsicle flavor of the day was outstanding, and we've been enjoying the fudge pecan on a regular basis -- and 2) the customer service is always friendly, and very informative. As for the return trip, that's due to the discovery that Culver's has veggie patties (apparently there are quite a few vegetarians that work there - FYI the patties are vegetarian, but not vegan), and they allow you to customize your burger as you see fit with various buns. Anyway, we're headed back for a veggie burger and will let you know what we find. In the interim, give it a try ... apparently there are several Culver's restaurants in the valley but this is the first in our neck of the woods.

Try the Fish Fry I'm from Milwaukee, WI. Land of the Friday Night Fish Fry. My idea of the perfect fish fry is beer battered, potato pancakes w/applesauce, cole slaw and a salted caraway snack rye bread or roll. Last Lenten season we tried a new place every Friday looking for anything that came close to what I love in Milwaukee. No dice. Chompie's for example had a good potato pancake, but the fish batter wasn't very good, cole slaw was blah and the bread was wrong (and it was like $12/$13, pricey for fish fry). Last Friday I tried the Fish Fry at Culver's and it was good. Ok, it didn't have the potato pancakes and the bread was wrong, but the fish and cole slaw was really tasty. I liked the french frys and would deal with the dinner roll vs. rye bread. Great value and quality fish fry. I'm saving my 5 stars for the ultimate, throw down, it's just like home fish fry. My only complaint about Culver's (besides Pepsi products, yuck) is that they have built this location close enough to my home that my girlish figure will surely suffer. Haven't started checking flavor of the day forecasts yet but summer will be here soon enough.

The service at the Chandler location was so awesome! They really made us feel welcome!

Their food is pretty darn good! Everything I have ordered there has been perfectly made so far. I've stuck to getting the double cheeseburger combo, and Culver's has been consistent so far. The cheese curds are a perfect side. People might complain a little about the prices, but I'm pretty sure the prices at Culver's are still cheaper that a place like Carl's Jr.'s. My daughters love that the kids meals come with frozen custard. Culver's customer service is at the top of the food chain. Go there and find out for yourself. I couldn't find a single reason to deduct a point.
(5)Kevin C.
This is the newest Culver's in the area, and now it's easy to get Culverized at lunchtime as this one is very close to the office. Tons of unhealthy comfort food here, but if you order judiciously, you can actually eat pretty healthy here. The desserts are excellent, the seating is cozy for a fast food joint, several giant TV screens on display, and free wifi. Brak is a Culver's fan.
(4)Tyler B.
good food!!!
(4)Christopher R.
I died and went to heaven! I have not been able to find Wisconsin Cheese curds anywhere near home. The closest place was Wisconsin! Not anymore! I found my that this place is as good as the original. The food is cooked to order, and is absolutely amazing. I had the butter burger, the way I like it, and couldn't have been happier. They really need to get one out here in Las Vegas. Just saying!
(5)Javier M.
Great burgers and fries. Love the custard desserts.
(5)Christian P.
I love the cheese curds here!!! But that's about it.. I definitely like the country club location better.. This location: -clean and seems organized -burger was flavorless -my concrete mixer had wayyy too many pumps of syrup - staff was rude, unhelpful, and not attentive ( I walked up to the counter and the girls continued to joke and laugh with each other and did not even pay attention to my order) I definitely won't be coming back to this location, even though it is 3 mins away!!
(1)Dan M.
First visit to this location...just as good as previous locations we have been to. Very friendly staff.
(4)Charlie D.
WHAT.WHAT. The home of the Butter Burger(named so because the bun is buttered). These Burgers are made to order and will Karate chop your taste buds in the best way possible. The cheese curds will judo flip your buds as well. This place is giving my beloved In-N-Out a serious run for it's money. Would be 5 stars but it is a little pricey around $9 for a meal. But the service is superb (they bring your food out to you and will even pick it up for you and throw your trash away). Soleed man Soleed.
(4)Sara V.
There's something just not right. For those Midwesterners very familiar with Culver's, well, I would rate this sub-par. It's still Culver's nonetheless and their fries are pretty much what I'm used to from back home, but I've been disappointed in the Butter Burger's the 2x I had been here. The taste just seems wrong, the patties over-cooked (maybe left under the heat lamp too long) and they got my order wrong both times. Eeek.
(2)Mummy D.
Thank you for the delicious gift of deep fried cheese curds!
(4)Archie F.
This is the home of the butter burger and frozen custard. Both are fantastic. And for all you malt fans like me (most places only have shakes) they have some of the best here. This place is consistent, service is very friendly. Is it as good as the ones in Wisconsin? Probably not, but for Arizona, this is a great place for a burger.

WOW!! I have NEVER received such excellent customer service!! After learning of my not so pleasant experience at his store, Jason the store owner contacted me right away. He was extremely pleasant and apologized. He offered to send me certificates for my next visit but then I got a phone call from him and he had left a basket on my porch filled with goodies and a lot of gift certificates. We live out in San Tan Valley so it's a good 45 minutes from his store. He drove all the way out here to personally deliver the basket. Unfortunately the sign fell off my door bell that it's out of order so I was not able to meet him in person. But I will be going back to this Chandler location for sure. He is an owner who takes customer service to a whole new level and truly appreciates each and everyone of his customers. He did tell me that this is his lively hood so he takes it very seriously. Wow, he definitely does! He has talked to all of his staff and I believe that day was just one of those off days, perhaps even on my part. Thank you Jason for really caring! I had to edit because I was so shocked by the owner's customer service that I forgot to mention how great the food is. The food is what got me hooked on Culvers to begin with. All the menu items I've tried have been really good but my favorite is the sour dough melt, it has grilled red onions in the burger patty. The root beer float is the best ever!! The custard is delicous and the mint flavor is perfect. A nice surprise is their lemon ice. The ice is shaved like fresh snow and the lemon flavor is perfect. My daughters love it with strawberry topping. A nice healthier alternative to the custard.
(5)Mike C.
I really enjoyed my visit to this very clean restaurant - and now I am wondering how I never heard of it. Here is my compact rating for each item I consumed: Regular butter burger with everything on it - 4 out of 5 stars - not quite as good as Steak n' Shake or In-N-Out, but definitely very good, just a little "dry" for my liking. Fries - 5 out of 5 stars. Onion Rings - 5 out of 5. Cole Slaw - 5 out of 5. Rocky Road Sundae - 5+ stars out of 5. On top of all that, the restaurant and bathrooms were very clean. Service was outstanding. I will definitely be back soon!

I got a BOGO coupon in the mail yesterday. C & I decided to try it out & compare it to our experience at BurgerFi. C ordered a single burger value meal basket which inc fries & drink.($6.19) He ordered the burger with American cheese & extra, extra, extra, extra pickles. He got 7 pickles. Thumbs down from the pickle king. However, C loved the burger. Said it tasted great. The crinkle fries were good he said. Not his favorite but WAY better than last nights salt fest at BurgerFi. I ordered the Mushroom Swiss value basket which again inc fries & a drink. ($8.19) I didn't realize this was a double burger. A big burger for me. Yummy good stuff though. Flavorful patties, gooey cheese & enough mushrooms to taste. I agree with C, the fries were ok but nothing special. Yummy burgers, not enough pickles, average fries. 4 Stars.
(4)Michael C.
Pretty much a mixed bag. I'm a newbie to the area but so far, they have the best frozen dessert option ever. The custard is amazing! Great flavor, and a very smooth texture. The Butter Burger has actually replaced Five Guys as my favorite fast/casual burger. The cheese curds are quite possibly the best in the business and the fries are always cooked perfectly. But with all of that good comes some bad. The fish is overpriced and just ok, I expect amazing when I'm paying $12+ for fast food fried fish. I'd pay $7 for it any day but never again at $12. The chicken tenders were possibly the worse chicken tenders I've ever had. Greasy, small, and not whole chicken . . . more like a bigger nugget. I ate one and threw the rest away.
(4)Karen W.
Fast food with friendly Midwestern style service. They offer your typical fare with burgers, chicken, and fish options, and also have shakes and frozen custard. I like how they have a flavor of the day for their custards, and that you can check to see what it is on their website. Each time I've been here food has been consistent and fast. The interior itself is clean and the seats are comfortable. For those that don't have a lot of time for lunch and want a filling meal, this is your place.
(4)H A.
Dairy Queen is better . I wanted strawberries and fruit in vanilla custard . They add sickly sweet syrup and further more it was so melted it was drinkable with a lump of soft serve in the middle . Yuck . Two stars for the friendly service and the fact that the vanilla soft serve on it's own is good .

Can't believe I haven't done a review for this Culvers yet! This locAtion is the best of the 4 we have been to in the valley(Mesa, Avondale, Camelback, and this). Arguably better than the million in the Midwest where I am from as well. I would give the others four because all Culver's serve fresh and fabulous food. Keep in mind that this chain cooks everything to order so do not expect McDonald's timing...but the quality is much higher. The service at this location tends to go above and beyond. Someone walking around, seeing what they can get for you, such as refills, high chairs, plastic ware, etc. They have disposable bibs and a wonderful outdoor seating area with fans. Food-wise, butter burger deluxe is a must for a newbie, and the buffalo chicken strips are amazing. Family/friends also like the shrimp basket, pot roast sandwich and tenderloin. The cheese curds are the best EVER and order ranch with them. They give you a lot of them, but you may not want to share. :-) the crinkle cut fries are always cooked perfectly. Lastly, order a concrete or a sundae "for later." You bring up your receipt after your meal and they create and bring out your treats. I like small snickers and Reese's concrete or a strawberry sundae...with actual real fruit, not pie filling crapola.
(5)Krystal M.
Tasty! Fresh! Quality food! Friendly atmosphere! Their chicken tenders are really tender! Be sure to try the cheese curds made from Wisconsin cheese.

Lived in PHX for 10 years and first time I tried the place. The burgers are very good, they are different flatter and crispier on the outside so different but they taste great (see my pictures). I had 2 for 1 coupon and I planned to only eat one but ended up eating both because they were so good. Cheese curds are interesting as well. The ice cream, or frozen custard has many options and toppings so you can get pretty much anything to fit your needs. The fish sandwich is better than Burger King and McDonalds. Very good place for kids. There was 1 nice TV in there so if they happen to be showing your channel then your in luck. Definitely better than other fast food dinning areas.

Out of the world custards. Try out orange cream and caramel cashew for an ultimate experience.

My husband and I come here quite often. The service is quick, staff is friendly, and the food is great(: It's a bit pricey, but overall a great experience!

Excellent burgers and concrete mixers! Cheaper than Five Guys and much better. Everyone should try it the next time they are thinking fast food. Also, try the cheese curds
(5)Maddie G.
Best fast food I've ever had! Had the butter burger, cheese curds, and a blizzard style custard with reese's pieces and cookie dough. When I got the food I was a little weary because it looked like really small portion sizes for the price, but everything is so high quality and delicious :)

We visit this Culver's once a week and drive a good distance just to eat here, it's really that good. We pass In N Out and Habits along the way. Chicken tenders, butterburgers, fish, cheese curds and custard are just a few of our favorites. Snack Pak full sized cheeseburger with everything, sm soda and sm fries for 4something. My kids get a choice of entree, sm fries, sm drink and custard for only $5andchange (the custard alone is $2 so it's a great deal). If your kids are too full save the custard coupon for a rainy day or an afternoon snack. On the kid's meal bag is a token, save 10 and get a free kids meal or shirt or toy. If you do the survey on the receipt you get a free custard (again $2). We haven't had to purchase a custard in 2 years. Sign up for their email club and get a free basket meal of your choice (fish, burger, chicken, shrimp), get free custard on your birthday (and you can add your family members too). Email periodically sends coupons for free items or buy 1 get 1, and also a few easy games or contests a year and winning odds are really good. Just today in the grocery ad mailer pak on the back of the newspaper ad there was a buy 1 basket get 1 free. On top of all this, the employees are awesome and helpful, like I said, we drive a pretty good deal to eat here because the food is so good and the employees are so friendly. If you ever have a problem talk to them, they will help you immediately.

The Best Fast Food Burger joint in the area....love their homemade taste! They have a great menu and the kids always find something that they like. They are fast and convenient . ..
(4)Chuck S.
The burgers were amazing. I had the bacon butter burger. The portions were large. The prices were reasonable. Did I mention that the burgers were amazing? The staff was friendly, fast and competent. This, in my opinion, is one of the best burger joints in the east valley.
(5)Nikki E.
Been here before and was disappointed by the sundae we got, it was very small and maybe only had 1 cookie in the whole thing. We tried it again today to have lunch and was pleasantly surprised at how well they do burgers and sandwiches. Their cheese curds were really tasty as well and the malt had decent malt flavor. This has changed our initial idea of the restaurant. I would still go somewhere else for a sundae though.
(4)Bob M.
Employees always friendly. Good variety of food. Not greasy like in&out. Good overall experiences at these places
(5)Clinton P.
I stopped in during break from classes one day, but never heard of them before. I grew up on pork tenderloins growing up in the midwest and it's hard to find a good tasting, mouth watering tenderloin sandwich..well Culvers has it..the tenderloin hangs over the bread, it's hot, and it's seasoned perfect..go get one..a must
(4)Ava S.
Best fast food burger I've ever eaten in my life! I came to Tempe to stay for 2 weeks & ate here a total of 5 times over those 2 weeks, THAT'S how good it is. They're cheddar bacon butter burger is where it's at, and the cheese curds just make everything about your lunch/dinner 100x better. The custard is also really delicious, I never leave without getting some.
(5)Michael A.
Great customer service. This location is very knowledgeable about the menu and offer upgrades on items in a very professional manner. There are, however, a couple items that need attention. The Men's restroom was dirty for the store only being open less than an hour. The windows in the dining area had fingerprints and were pretty dirty all around. The napkin holders looked like they had about a week's worth of sticky fingers on the slots. I frequent this location and have seen it at higher standards. Would be a five star review, but please standardize clean up a little more and I'd be happy to give it!
(4)Philip D.
I have eaten at a few Culver's locations. The food and ice cream have always been excellent. They have a nicely diverse menu and of the different items I have tried they always were prepared well. So many times a restaurant with this many different menu items would have some good and some ok, but not Culver's. Don't forget the ice cream!
(4)Jennifer F.
We just had a worse experience at a Culvers ever! And the manager Christina did nothing to fix the situation she actually made it worse. I guess it was our fault we came to close to closing time and they wanted to leave so four different people came to ask us... are you using this, can we put away this, can we do this. we were being put out of the restaurant it was very very rude. After about 10 minutes of this we finally gave up and told him we were leaving they did not care I'm sure we made your f****** day.
(1)Brendan W.
A second try and my last. The pub burger was a double patty with onion strings on an onion roll. Burnt edges of the burger just bland taste beside the onion overkill. It's too bad, it's close just not for me.
(1)Britnie H.
CHRISTINA WAS AMAZING!!! I never write reviews but I had to the second I got in my car to leave. Our experience was totally awesome and it's so rare to find outstanding costumer service these days. Thank you Christina for being so personable! Very obvious she knows her menu, too! We will be back! Tomorrow! ;)
(5)Bruce W.
Typical overpriced fast food - $12.09 for a 2 piece cod, fries and coleslaw - and small drink - dry dinner roll hard butter - makes bread fall apart - not impressed on my first visit!

(5)Martha C.
I SO wanted to like Culver's. After finishing up an evening meeting we walked over to have dinner. We placed our order quickly and then went to fill our drinks. I know it was just after the rush hour but the drink station was a mess. There was liquid all over the place and straw paper wrappers everywhere. The food was just so-so. I had a sour dough burger. The bread was mushy and the burger tasteless. Did not like the cheese curds at all. My husband had the fish and he said it was average. For what it cost, I'd rather go elsewhere. One thing I loved, the quotes on the walls were nicely done and inspirational. Good job here.
(2)Brandon H.
The Culver's staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The building and facilities are clean and functional with a couple nice decorative touches. Culver's offers some outstanding food. The shaved prime rib sandwich and Culver's Deluxe burger are both excellent. The side dishes are also a notch above most fast food places. Half of the reason to come to Culver's is some great dessert. The shake I had on my last visit was above average. However, their Concrete Mixers are extremely delicious and highly recommended.
(5)John V.
This place is special. It has it all. Great service. Excellent burgers and frozen custard. The staff were very friendly. They bring your order to your table. The burgers , chicken sandwich, fries and custard were excellent ... Culver's Chandler is special.

Precooked burger and cold piece of cheese on top...yuk.....stick with in ans out for a fresh burger
(1)Candace R.
I've driven past Culver's a ton of times, and we decided to stop in for dessert after having sushi down the street. The inside is very bright and clean and the cashiers were nice and helpful. I had a mini frozen custard with brownie and fudge which was delightful. I do want to come back and try their butter burgers
(4)Preston S.
Oh the butterburgers and the concretes. Got to love the frozen custard concretes. That you can mix in any two things you want from there list of many. Inside tip: They also have chocolate custard not just vanilla. This I found out after a few visits. I always get chocolate custard with chocolate sauce and Oreo cookies. I think its the best. The burgers are really good. So are the onion rings and the cheese curds. I have never heard of cheese curds before Culvers. Must be a Wisconsin thing but they are really good. To call them fried cheese balls don't do them justice. Just try them. If you like cheese you will like these. The service is pretty good. Sure it takes awhile to get your food but that just means they are making it fresh. For that I am willing to wait. Plus they give you your concrete first so you can enjoy that while you pull forward in the drive thru to wait for the rest of your order. They give you a number and then bring out your food right to your car. It is a little expensive to eat more than once a week but it is well worth it.
(5)Monica O.
I have lived in Arizona for 11 years and have heard of Culvers from quite a few friends, all talking about the butter burger and ice cream/frozen custard, so having never been to a Culvers I thought um sounds like a cool little ice cream parlor that I should investigate. It's Tuesday night and the kids and I don't feel like cooking and a Culvers just opened up in my area so I told them lets go for burger and shake and they said cool mom! Imagine my shock when I walked in to find out that it's a fast food place LOL I don't know why I thought it would be an ice cream parlor. We walked up to the teller and were looking at the menu and placing our order, we were a party of 4 so it took each of us a few minutes to figure out what we want, at this point there was a customer behind us being very rude and loud and complaining about families who go to order but still have to look at the menu board, why can't they just have their order ready. Really lady? lol Some peoples kids I tell ya. I thought since I am here I am going to try the butterburger cheese, fries and a chocolate shake! My burger I made a single, I can't eat a double burger, it had cheese, lettuce, pickle and onion, it actually was a great burger, I was surprised. Now when I have a want for In n Out I just might head on over to Culvers. The fries, I like them, they are the crinkled cut fries they were good and the chocolate shake!! Omg soo thick and creamy! DELISH!! Glad I finally went and checked the place out, the kids, (who are really young adults, age range frm 20 years to 16 years) loved the place too!
(4)Joyce T.
Great place to go if you want your food fast but don't want to feel like you're sitting in a fast food restaurant. The eating area is clean and much classier than your average booth at Burger King. There are large flat screen TVs with SpongeBob for the kids (or, you know, me) and ESPN for disinterested dads (or in my case, my boyfriend). The burgers are about as good as you get them at Smashburger - but Culver's is a better value, in my opinion. For about $10 at Smashburger you can get fries, a drink, and a regular sized burger. At Culver's, for about the same price you can get a double burger, fries, and a medium concrete mixer. So, yes, the burgers are wonderful, and the custard is as heavenly as it sounds. The fries, I'm pretty sure, were brought in from the closest frozen food section. (They didn't taste bad at all, just not like what you would expect at a restaurant.) The service was good; not perfect, but definitely acceptable. I will definitely be back, but I still need to try Smashburger's Nutter Butter shake...
(4)Mishell L.
Please keep the pepper grinder pub burger forever! Best burger I've ever gotten from a drive thru! Cheese curds are ok, but onion rings rock!
(4)Dana B.
Descent for fast food. The meat was fresh and juicy. Ingredients seemed fresh. One of our orders was wrong but they corrected it promptly and politely. No complaints but nothing amazing either. Good for what it is.
(3)Neka N.
I was disappointed in this location. The food was great..similar to other locations but the restaurant wasn't clean like the other locations that I've visited. It was 7:45 at night so they were not that busy. I usually go to Culvers every blue moon because I like the cleanliness of the restaurant as well as the food. This location was a disappointment. Culvers is known for their burgers and shakes but also for how clean they are. I won't be returning to this location.

I brought a good friend here, as his introduction to the chain. After spending time in the Midwest I had grown a liking for Culver's custard. However, the service was really slow and my friend ended up with food poisoning that day. While it might be an unconnected incident, I won't be coming back to this location.

I knew nothing about Culvers until the TV commercials. Then, I had to give 'em a try. Like the ad says - delicious! Well-prepared food. Hot, fresh, delicious. Began going through the drive through... OOPS! CONSISTENTLY,CULVERS GETS THE ORDER WRONG on something in the drive through!! I've even called and complained and got coupons for two free baskets on my next visit! To no avail. It seems, even when they are not busy, they cannot get orders right. Now, I know this is not Cordon Bleu food preparation, but c'mon!? Asking for a cheddar butter burger, with lettuce, onion and A-1 sauce ONLY cannot be that difficult. But, it's always wrong. Either complete with tomato,mayo, etc. Or minus the requested A-1 sauce! Sigh. Regardless, the frozen custard is always terrific! My advice, eat in only. They bring you the food, and, if it's wrong, fix it. This place would be damn near perfect if they sold beer! Just don't drive through if you have any special requests!

I grew up with Culvers in the Midwest so I was happy to find this location nearby in Chandler. While I have always had a pretty good experience here customer service wise even during the lunch rush the food has always been only so so. The burgers lately have been really bland which is not the culvers that I remember from back home. The buffalo chicken fingers are really tasty along with the onion rings but lately leaving Culvers I feel unsatisfied. I will give Culvers another shot but I hope the flavor of the burgers improves a bit. So far it's just meh...

Really good place for lunch or fast food better than your average burger joint! Culvers offer more of a deluxe burger. They are good size and offer many tasty sides the cheese curds are pretty tasty as well. Also, they have seasonal combos for food and concrete mixer which i highly recommend. I mainly go to culvers for their amazing concrete mixers. Their flavor of the day always changes plus you get two free mix ins for the concrete mixers! I am a huge fan of their cheesecake options you can get just about any berry and cheesecake combo! Friendly staff and they usually have coupons available. try their- Butter burger/ with or without bacon Sweet potato fries Concrete mixers- Ask about their seasonal specialties

Customer service was excellent, food was good. We all had burgers with cheese and fries. All items were hot and very good. My only complain was that everything seemed dirty. The bathrooms needed a good scrub and the floor and tables seemed to have a film of dirt/ grease on them. We did enjoy the food and service, we will visit another location near our house next time.
(4)Bobby M.
First of all.... CHEESE CURDS!!!!! AMAZING! second... my experience. I went through the drive through, where they told me to pull forward because they were making my food fresh. I waited 5-7 minutes as expected. when they brought my food out, they apologized about my wait and gave me a free $5 or $6 ice cream container. I appreciate the customer service and will return frequently. In tough times, customer service wins business.
(5)Mark Z.
Tried the chicken tenders and they're as good as it gets. Definitely tasted as good as my friend described them. Fresh with thin breading.
(5)Yanira S.
Culver's is alright by me. I enjoyed the fresh ingredients on my burger and the clean, spacious atmosphere. There were numerous employees on hand to handle the fairly new Chandler restaurant. I've had better fries at McDonald's but I appreciate the comfortable atmosphere Culver's has established. I've never tried frozen custard before so that was a new experience. Boy, that stuff is THICK. It was a little too much for me as a dessert and I most likely will stop by here again for a burger or a custard but not both in the same meal, too much food!
(3)P R.
The food is super good!!! Love the Better Cheddar Burger with bacon and their root beer floats are out of this world!!! The customer service inside or drive thru is always awesome. Very courteous!!! I was very please when I stopped while I was out Christmas shopping and stopped for a grilled cheese. I did the basket and then asked for them to add a gift card. They told me I could get the basket free because I was buying a gift card!!! whoo hoo!!! LOVE CULVERS!!!! The prices are reasonable and their concrete mixers are soooo good!!!!!
(5)R B.
Went here for lunch because it was near. I had the red pepper double cheeseburger with bacon and fries and drink combo. Overpriced. Thin bacon. Nice BBQ sauce (asked for a container for the burger). Crinkle-cut fries I didn't like the taste of. Pepsi MAX tasted off. Overpriced. Near 8 bucks. You can take grandma, nice place, nice people, fast and friendly service. Clean. Overpriced. I enjoyed the burger but it went fast. Strange taste. I guess that was the "butter burger" taste. I'm not used to that. Overpriced. Burger King beats this place for flavor. Overpriced. Do they pay these prices in Wisconsin? I wasn't very full even after forcing down those fries. Maybe your grandma will be.
(2)Melissa H.
Really wanted to like this place, but after three visits we are not fans. - Location is clean and the employees are nice but not necessarily helpful. - Burgers are a higher quality for fast food but on the expensive side. - Fries are super greasy. - Cheese curds are nasty. - Custard is not much better than a dairy queen soft serve quality. Every time we ate here, we felt like crap afterwards. So many better, cheaper fast food options.
(2)Han L.
Worst chicken strips ever ! I saw the commercial that they have organically raised chicken but their chickens tastes like power and not fresh at all. Horrible !
(1)T B.
Had chocolate, pecan and strawberry concrete mixer...delicious!!
(4)Wowezow E.
Not very good anymore. The food was too salty, the green beans were so tough, and the potatoes tasted fake. Disappointed this time.
(2)Jeff R.
This review is mainly for the ice cream and onion rings since I am a vegetarian. They have very good sundaes and shakes. If you decide to get a malt tell them to go easy on the malt powder they tend to do it 50/50 which is way too much for anyone. The restaurant is new so it's clean and they have a good sized patio to enjoy the AZ weather. The staff on my visits have always been very nice and helpfull. In our group they even made up a free shake for us to try that wasn't on the menu without charge. I had a surrogate tester try the butter burger and he gave it an enthusiastic thumbs up. So if I ever go back to the dark side I will re-review with a burger addition. Try: - carmel/cashew sundae - Shakes - Malts ( Go easy on the malt ) - * Butter Burger * Surrogate Tester Approved
(4)Mike A.
I saw Culver's was offering a Colby Jack Pub Burger and add their delicious crinkle cut fries to the mix and I was sold. I'm proud to say they did not disappoint. I ordered a double patty CJPB. The onion roll was delicious as were the patties but I was a little disappointed in the cheese. There didn't seem to be a lot of cheese on it but it still tasted very good and I will order it again. I'll just order extra cheese I guess. I had my fries which tasted awesome and I saw that the flavor of the day was Mint Oreo so how can I pass up a concrete mixer? I have yet to have a bad meal at Culver's. Would I recommend the Colby Jack Pub Burger? You bet. Heck, I may have to order the triple patty.
(4)Tomas C.
So here's the deal, I'm making this short and sweet because I'm planning a return trip tonight before they close (more on that later). As for the 5-star rating, it's due to two things, 1) outstanding frozen custard -- the orange creamsicle flavor of the day was outstanding, and we've been enjoying the fudge pecan on a regular basis -- and 2) the customer service is always friendly, and very informative. As for the return trip, that's due to the discovery that Culver's has veggie patties (apparently there are quite a few vegetarians that work there - FYI the patties are vegetarian, but not vegan), and they allow you to customize your burger as you see fit with various buns. Anyway, we're headed back for a veggie burger and will let you know what we find. In the interim, give it a try ... apparently there are several Culver's restaurants in the valley but this is the first in our neck of the woods.

Try the Fish Fry I'm from Milwaukee, WI. Land of the Friday Night Fish Fry. My idea of the perfect fish fry is beer battered, potato pancakes w/applesauce, cole slaw and a salted caraway snack rye bread or roll. Last Lenten season we tried a new place every Friday looking for anything that came close to what I love in Milwaukee. No dice. Chompie's for example had a good potato pancake, but the fish batter wasn't very good, cole slaw was blah and the bread was wrong (and it was like $12/$13, pricey for fish fry). Last Friday I tried the Fish Fry at Culver's and it was good. Ok, it didn't have the potato pancakes and the bread was wrong, but the fish and cole slaw was really tasty. I liked the french frys and would deal with the dinner roll vs. rye bread. Great value and quality fish fry. I'm saving my 5 stars for the ultimate, throw down, it's just like home fish fry. My only complaint about Culver's (besides Pepsi products, yuck) is that they have built this location close enough to my home that my girlish figure will surely suffer. Haven't started checking flavor of the day forecasts yet but summer will be here soon enough.
(4)Jose T.
Their food is pretty darn good! Everything I have ordered there has been perfectly made so far. I've stuck to getting the double cheeseburger combo, and Culver's has been consistent so far. The cheese curds are a perfect side. People might complain a little about the prices, but I'm pretty sure the prices at Culver's are still cheaper that a place like Carl's Jr.'s. My daughters love that the kids meals come with frozen custard. Culver's customer service is at the top of the food chain. Go there and find out for yourself. I couldn't find a single reason to deduct a point.
(5)Kevin C.
This is the newest Culver's in the area, and now it's easy to get Culverized at lunchtime as this one is very close to the office. Tons of unhealthy comfort food here, but if you order judiciously, you can actually eat pretty healthy here. The desserts are excellent, the seating is cozy for a fast food joint, several giant TV screens on display, and free wifi. Brak is a Culver's fan.
(4)Tyler B.
good food!!!
(4)Christopher R.
I died and went to heaven! I have not been able to find Wisconsin Cheese curds anywhere near home. The closest place was Wisconsin! Not anymore! I found my that this place is as good as the original. The food is cooked to order, and is absolutely amazing. I had the butter burger, the way I like it, and couldn't have been happier. They really need to get one out here in Las Vegas. Just saying!
(5)Javier M.
Great burgers and fries. Love the custard desserts.
(5)Christian P.
I love the cheese curds here!!! But that's about it.. I definitely like the country club location better.. This location: -clean and seems organized -burger was flavorless -my concrete mixer had wayyy too many pumps of syrup - staff was rude, unhelpful, and not attentive ( I walked up to the counter and the girls continued to joke and laugh with each other and did not even pay attention to my order) I definitely won't be coming back to this location, even though it is 3 mins away!!
(1)Charlie D.
WHAT.WHAT. The home of the Butter Burger(named so because the bun is buttered). These Burgers are made to order and will Karate chop your taste buds in the best way possible. The cheese curds will judo flip your buds as well. This place is giving my beloved In-N-Out a serious run for it's money. Would be 5 stars but it is a little pricey around $9 for a meal. But the service is superb (they bring your food out to you and will even pick it up for you and throw your trash away). Soleed man Soleed.
(4)Sara V.
There's something just not right. For those Midwesterners very familiar with Culver's, well, I would rate this sub-par. It's still Culver's nonetheless and their fries are pretty much what I'm used to from back home, but I've been disappointed in the Butter Burger's the 2x I had been here. The taste just seems wrong, the patties over-cooked (maybe left under the heat lamp too long) and they got my order wrong both times. Eeek.
(2)Archie F.
This is the home of the butter burger and frozen custard. Both are fantastic. And for all you malt fans like me (most places only have shakes) they have some of the best here. This place is consistent, service is very friendly. Is it as good as the ones in Wisconsin? Probably not, but for Arizona, this is a great place for a burger.
(4)Cherie K.
The service at the Chandler location was so awesome! They really made us feel welcome!

Thank you for the delicious gift of deep fried cheese curds!

I stopped in during break from classes one day, but never heard of them before. I grew up on pork tenderloins growing up in the midwest and it's hard to find a good tasting, mouth watering tenderloin sandwich..well Culvers has it..the tenderloin hangs over the bread, it's hot, and it's seasoned perfect..go get one..a must
(4)Kim T.
Excellent burgers and concrete mixers! Cheaper than Five Guys and much better. Everyone should try it the next time they are thinking fast food. Also, try the cheese curds
(5)Maddie G.
Best fast food I've ever had! Had the butter burger, cheese curds, and a blizzard style custard with reese's pieces and cookie dough. When I got the food I was a little weary because it looked like really small portion sizes for the price, but everything is so high quality and delicious :)
(5)Ava S.
Best fast food burger I've ever eaten in my life! I came to Tempe to stay for 2 weeks & ate here a total of 5 times over those 2 weeks, THAT'S how good it is. They're cheddar bacon butter burger is where it's at, and the cheese curds just make everything about your lunch/dinner 100x better. The custard is also really delicious, I never leave without getting some.
(5)Michael A.
Great customer service. This location is very knowledgeable about the menu and offer upgrades on items in a very professional manner. There are, however, a couple items that need attention. The Men's restroom was dirty for the store only being open less than an hour. The windows in the dining area had fingerprints and were pretty dirty all around. The napkin holders looked like they had about a week's worth of sticky fingers on the slots. I frequent this location and have seen it at higher standards. Would be a five star review, but please standardize clean up a little more and I'd be happy to give it!
(4)Philip D.
I have eaten at a few Culver's locations. The food and ice cream have always been excellent. They have a nicely diverse menu and of the different items I have tried they always were prepared well. So many times a restaurant with this many different menu items would have some good and some ok, but not Culver's. Don't forget the ice cream!
(4)Jennifer F.
We just had a worse experience at a Culvers ever! And the manager Christina did nothing to fix the situation she actually made it worse. I guess it was our fault we came to close to closing time and they wanted to leave so four different people came to ask us... are you using this, can we put away this, can we do this. we were being put out of the restaurant it was very very rude. After about 10 minutes of this we finally gave up and told him we were leaving they did not care I'm sure we made your f****** day.

Can't believe I haven't done a review for this Culvers yet! This locAtion is the best of the 4 we have been to in the valley(Mesa, Avondale, Camelback, and this). Arguably better than the million in the Midwest where I am from as well. I would give the others four because all Culver's serve fresh and fabulous food. Keep in mind that this chain cooks everything to order so do not expect McDonald's timing...but the quality is much higher. The service at this location tends to go above and beyond. Someone walking around, seeing what they can get for you, such as refills, high chairs, plastic ware, etc. They have disposable bibs and a wonderful outdoor seating area with fans. Food-wise, butter burger deluxe is a must for a newbie, and the buffalo chicken strips are amazing. Family/friends also like the shrimp basket, pot roast sandwich and tenderloin. The cheese curds are the best EVER and order ranch with them. They give you a lot of them, but you may not want to share. :-) the crinkle cut fries are always cooked perfectly. Lastly, order a concrete or a sundae "for later." You bring up your receipt after your meal and they create and bring out your treats. I like small snickers and Reese's concrete or a strawberry sundae...with actual real fruit, not pie filling crapola.
(5)Krystal M.
Tasty! Fresh! Quality food! Friendly atmosphere! Their chicken tenders are really tender! Be sure to try the cheese curds made from Wisconsin cheese.
(5)Dana W.
Great fresh burgers, fries, & custard ice cream!!! Reasonably priced for the quality, which is great! I enjoyed the Cheddar bacon double butter burger & fries. Restaurant was clean, staff was helpful & friendly!
(4)EN K.
Lived in PHX for 10 years and first time I tried the place. The burgers are very good, they are different flatter and crispier on the outside so different but they taste great (see my pictures). I had 2 for 1 coupon and I planned to only eat one but ended up eating both because they were so good. Cheese curds are interesting as well. The ice cream, or frozen custard has many options and toppings so you can get pretty much anything to fit your needs. The fish sandwich is better than Burger King and McDonalds. Very good place for kids. There was 1 nice TV in there so if they happen to be showing your channel then your in luck. Definitely better than other fast food dinning areas.
(4)Alekhya G.
Out of the world custards. Try out orange cream and caramel cashew for an ultimate experience.
(5)Maricela C.
My husband and I come here quite often. The service is quick, staff is friendly, and the food is great(: It's a bit pricey, but overall a great experience!

We visit this Culver's once a week and drive a good distance just to eat here, it's really that good. We pass In N Out and Habits along the way. Chicken tenders, butterburgers, fish, cheese curds and custard are just a few of our favorites. Snack Pak full sized cheeseburger with everything, sm soda and sm fries for 4something. My kids get a choice of entree, sm fries, sm drink and custard for only $5andchange (the custard alone is $2 so it's a great deal). If your kids are too full save the custard coupon for a rainy day or an afternoon snack. On the kid's meal bag is a token, save 10 and get a free kids meal or shirt or toy. If you do the survey on the receipt you get a free custard (again $2). We haven't had to purchase a custard in 2 years. Sign up for their email club and get a free basket meal of your choice (fish, burger, chicken, shrimp), get free custard on your birthday (and you can add your family members too). Email periodically sends coupons for free items or buy 1 get 1, and also a few easy games or contests a year and winning odds are really good. Just today in the grocery ad mailer pak on the back of the newspaper ad there was a buy 1 basket get 1 free. On top of all this, the employees are awesome and helpful, like I said, we drive a pretty good deal to eat here because the food is so good and the employees are so friendly. If you ever have a problem talk to them, they will help you immediately.

Delicious burgers, amazing custard and a friendly staff! It was our first time in and we really loved this place. We will definitely be back

I always enjoy going to this fast food place. The staff is always polite and helpful. The food is fresh and tasty. The restaurant is clean. It is right by the freeway and so very convenient. Their custard is delicious!
(5)Danny B.
The Best Fast Food Burger joint in the area....love their homemade taste! They have a great menu and the kids always find something that they like. They are fast and convenient . ..
(4)Chuck S.
The burgers were amazing. I had the bacon butter burger. The portions were large. The prices were reasonable. Did I mention that the burgers were amazing? The staff was friendly, fast and competent. This, in my opinion, is one of the best burger joints in the east valley.
(5)Nikki E.
Been here before and was disappointed by the sundae we got, it was very small and maybe only had 1 cookie in the whole thing. We tried it again today to have lunch and was pleasantly surprised at how well they do burgers and sandwiches. Their cheese curds were really tasty as well and the malt had decent malt flavor. This has changed our initial idea of the restaurant. I would still go somewhere else for a sundae though.
(4)Brendan W.
A second try and my last. The pub burger was a double patty with onion strings on an onion roll. Burnt edges of the burger just bland taste beside the onion overkill. It's too bad, it's close just not for me.
(1)Britnie H.
CHRISTINA WAS AMAZING!!! I never write reviews but I had to the second I got in my car to leave. Our experience was totally awesome and it's so rare to find outstanding costumer service these days. Thank you Christina for being so personable! Very obvious she knows her menu, too! We will be back! Tomorrow! ;)
(5)Bruce W.
Typical overpriced fast food - $12.09 for a 2 piece cod, fries and coleslaw - and small drink - dry dinner roll hard butter - makes bread fall apart - not impressed on my first visit!
(2)Evette C.
Great food, great service. Culver's rocks!
(5)Jennifer T.
Great service, the food comes out fast and is delicious! They have authentic WI cheese curds and the daily ice cream specials are amazing.
(5)Martha C.
I SO wanted to like Culver's. After finishing up an evening meeting we walked over to have dinner. We placed our order quickly and then went to fill our drinks. I know it was just after the rush hour but the drink station was a mess. There was liquid all over the place and straw paper wrappers everywhere. The food was just so-so. I had a sour dough burger. The bread was mushy and the burger tasteless. Did not like the cheese curds at all. My husband had the fish and he said it was average. For what it cost, I'd rather go elsewhere. One thing I loved, the quotes on the walls were nicely done and inspirational. Good job here.
(2)Brandon H.
The Culver's staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The building and facilities are clean and functional with a couple nice decorative touches. Culver's offers some outstanding food. The shaved prime rib sandwich and Culver's Deluxe burger are both excellent. The side dishes are also a notch above most fast food places. Half of the reason to come to Culver's is some great dessert. The shake I had on my last visit was above average. However, their Concrete Mixers are extremely delicious and highly recommended.
(5)John V.
This place is special. It has it all. Great service. Excellent burgers and frozen custard. The staff were very friendly. They bring your order to your table. The burgers , chicken sandwich, fries and custard were excellent ... Culver's Chandler is special.
(5)Allen B.
Precooked burger and cold piece of cheese on top...yuk.....stick with in ans out for a fresh burger
(1)Candace R.
I've driven past Culver's a ton of times, and we decided to stop in for dessert after having sushi down the street. The inside is very bright and clean and the cashiers were nice and helpful. I had a mini frozen custard with brownie and fudge which was delightful. I do want to come back and try their butter burgers
(4)Preston S.
Oh the butterburgers and the concretes. Got to love the frozen custard concretes. That you can mix in any two things you want from there list of many. Inside tip: They also have chocolate custard not just vanilla. This I found out after a few visits. I always get chocolate custard with chocolate sauce and Oreo cookies. I think its the best. The burgers are really good. So are the onion rings and the cheese curds. I have never heard of cheese curds before Culvers. Must be a Wisconsin thing but they are really good. To call them fried cheese balls don't do them justice. Just try them. If you like cheese you will like these. The service is pretty good. Sure it takes awhile to get your food but that just means they are making it fresh. For that I am willing to wait. Plus they give you your concrete first so you can enjoy that while you pull forward in the drive thru to wait for the rest of your order. They give you a number and then bring out your food right to your car. It is a little expensive to eat more than once a week but it is well worth it.
(5)Monica O.
I have lived in Arizona for 11 years and have heard of Culvers from quite a few friends, all talking about the butter burger and ice cream/frozen custard, so having never been to a Culvers I thought um sounds like a cool little ice cream parlor that I should investigate. It's Tuesday night and the kids and I don't feel like cooking and a Culvers just opened up in my area so I told them lets go for burger and shake and they said cool mom! Imagine my shock when I walked in to find out that it's a fast food place LOL I don't know why I thought it would be an ice cream parlor. We walked up to the teller and were looking at the menu and placing our order, we were a party of 4 so it took each of us a few minutes to figure out what we want, at this point there was a customer behind us being very rude and loud and complaining about families who go to order but still have to look at the menu board, why can't they just have their order ready. Really lady? lol Some peoples kids I tell ya. I thought since I am here I am going to try the butterburger cheese, fries and a chocolate shake! My burger I made a single, I can't eat a double burger, it had cheese, lettuce, pickle and onion, it actually was a great burger, I was surprised. Now when I have a want for In n Out I just might head on over to Culvers. The fries, I like them, they are the crinkled cut fries they were good and the chocolate shake!! Omg soo thick and creamy! DELISH!! Glad I finally went and checked the place out, the kids, (who are really young adults, age range frm 20 years to 16 years) loved the place too!

I grew up with Culvers in the Midwest so I was happy to find this location nearby in Chandler. While I have always had a pretty good experience here customer service wise even during the lunch rush the food has always been only so so. The burgers lately have been really bland which is not the culvers that I remember from back home. The buffalo chicken fingers are really tasty along with the onion rings but lately leaving Culvers I feel unsatisfied. I will give Culvers another shot but I hope the flavor of the burgers improves a bit. So far it's just meh...

Great place to go if you want your food fast but don't want to feel like you're sitting in a fast food restaurant. The eating area is clean and much classier than your average booth at Burger King. There are large flat screen TVs with SpongeBob for the kids (or, you know, me) and ESPN for disinterested dads (or in my case, my boyfriend). The burgers are about as good as you get them at Smashburger - but Culver's is a better value, in my opinion. For about $10 at Smashburger you can get fries, a drink, and a regular sized burger. At Culver's, for about the same price you can get a double burger, fries, and a medium concrete mixer. So, yes, the burgers are wonderful, and the custard is as heavenly as it sounds. The fries, I'm pretty sure, were brought in from the closest frozen food section. (They didn't taste bad at all, just not like what you would expect at a restaurant.) The service was good; not perfect, but definitely acceptable. I will definitely be back, but I still need to try Smashburger's Nutter Butter shake...

Please keep the pepper grinder pub burger forever! Best burger I've ever gotten from a drive thru! Cheese curds are ok, but onion rings rock!

Descent for fast food. The meat was fresh and juicy. Ingredients seemed fresh. One of our orders was wrong but they corrected it promptly and politely. No complaints but nothing amazing either. Good for what it is.

I was disappointed in this location. The food was great..similar to other locations but the restaurant wasn't clean like the other locations that I've visited. It was 7:45 at night so they were not that busy. I usually go to Culvers every blue moon because I like the cleanliness of the restaurant as well as the food. This location was a disappointment. Culvers is known for their burgers and shakes but also for how clean they are. I won't be returning to this location.

I brought a good friend here, as his introduction to the chain. After spending time in the Midwest I had grown a liking for Culver's custard. However, the service was really slow and my friend ended up with food poisoning that day. While it might be an unconnected incident, I won't be coming back to this location.

I knew nothing about Culvers until the TV commercials. Then, I had to give 'em a try. Like the ad says - delicious! Well-prepared food. Hot, fresh, delicious. Began going through the drive through... OOPS! CONSISTENTLY,CULVERS GETS THE ORDER WRONG on something in the drive through!! I've even called and complained and got coupons for two free baskets on my next visit! To no avail. It seems, even when they are not busy, they cannot get orders right. Now, I know this is not Cordon Bleu food preparation, but c'mon!? Asking for a cheddar butter burger, with lettuce, onion and A-1 sauce ONLY cannot be that difficult. But, it's always wrong. Either complete with tomato,mayo, etc. Or minus the requested A-1 sauce! Sigh. Regardless, the frozen custard is always terrific! My advice, eat in only. They bring you the food, and, if it's wrong, fix it. This place would be damn near perfect if they sold beer! Just don't drive through if you have any special requests!

Really good place for lunch or fast food better than your average burger joint! Culvers offer more of a deluxe burger. They are good size and offer many tasty sides the cheese curds are pretty tasty as well. Also, they have seasonal combos for food and concrete mixer which i highly recommend. I mainly go to culvers for their amazing concrete mixers. Their flavor of the day always changes plus you get two free mix ins for the concrete mixers! I am a huge fan of their cheesecake options you can get just about any berry and cheesecake combo! Friendly staff and they usually have coupons available. try their- Butter burger/ with or without bacon Sweet potato fries Concrete mixers- Ask about their seasonal specialties

Customer service was excellent, food was good. We all had burgers with cheese and fries. All items were hot and very good. My only complain was that everything seemed dirty. The bathrooms needed a good scrub and the floor and tables seemed to have a film of dirt/ grease on them. We did enjoy the food and service, we will visit another location near our house next time.

First of all.... CHEESE CURDS!!!!! AMAZING! second... my experience. I went through the drive through, where they told me to pull forward because they were making my food fresh. I waited 5-7 minutes as expected. when they brought my food out, they apologized about my wait and gave me a free $5 or $6 ice cream container. I appreciate the customer service and will return frequently. In tough times, customer service wins business.

Tried the chicken tenders and they're as good as it gets. Definitely tasted as good as my friend described them. Fresh with thin breading.

Culver's is alright by me. I enjoyed the fresh ingredients on my burger and the clean, spacious atmosphere. There were numerous employees on hand to handle the fairly new Chandler restaurant. I've had better fries at McDonald's but I appreciate the comfortable atmosphere Culver's has established. I've never tried frozen custard before so that was a new experience. Boy, that stuff is THICK. It was a little too much for me as a dessert and I most likely will stop by here again for a burger or a custard but not both in the same meal, too much food!

The food is super good!!! Love the Better Cheddar Burger with bacon and their root beer floats are out of this world!!! The customer service inside or drive thru is always awesome. Very courteous!!! I was very please when I stopped while I was out Christmas shopping and stopped for a grilled cheese. I did the basket and then asked for them to add a gift card. They told me I could get the basket free because I was buying a gift card!!! whoo hoo!!! LOVE CULVERS!!!! The prices are reasonable and their concrete mixers are soooo good!!!!!

Went here for lunch because it was near. I had the red pepper double cheeseburger with bacon and fries and drink combo. Overpriced. Thin bacon. Nice BBQ sauce (asked for a container for the burger). Crinkle-cut fries I didn't like the taste of. Pepsi MAX tasted off. Overpriced. Near 8 bucks. You can take grandma, nice place, nice people, fast and friendly service. Clean. Overpriced. I enjoyed the burger but it went fast. Strange taste. I guess that was the "butter burger" taste. I'm not used to that. Overpriced. Burger King beats this place for flavor. Overpriced. Do they pay these prices in Wisconsin? I wasn't very full even after forcing down those fries. Maybe your grandma will be.

Really wanted to like this place, but after three visits we are not fans. - Location is clean and the employees are nice but not necessarily helpful. - Burgers are a higher quality for fast food but on the expensive side. - Fries are super greasy. - Cheese curds are nasty. - Custard is not much better than a dairy queen soft serve quality. Every time we ate here, we felt like crap afterwards. So many better, cheaper fast food options.

Worst chicken strips ever ! I saw the commercial that they have organically raised chicken but their chickens tastes like power and not fresh at all. Horrible !

Had chocolate, pecan and strawberry concrete mixer...delicious!!

There's something just not right. For those Midwesterners very familiar with Culver's, well, I would rate this sub-par. It's still Culver's nonetheless and their fries are pretty much what I'm used to from back home, but I've been disappointed in the Butter Burger's the 2x I had been here. The taste just seems wrong, the patties over-cooked (maybe left under the heat lamp too long) and they got my order wrong both times. Eeek.

Thank you for the delicious gift of deep fried cheese curds!

This is the home of the butter burger and frozen custard. Both are fantastic. And for all you malt fans like me (most places only have shakes) they have some of the best here. This place is consistent, service is very friendly. Is it as good as the ones in Wisconsin? Probably not, but for Arizona, this is a great place for a burger.

WOW!! I have NEVER received such excellent customer service!! After learning of my not so pleasant experience at his store, Jason the store owner contacted me right away. He was extremely pleasant and apologized. He offered to send me certificates for my next visit but then I got a phone call from him and he had left a basket on my porch filled with goodies and a lot of gift certificates. We live out in San Tan Valley so it's a good 45 minutes from his store. He drove all the way out here to personally deliver the basket. Unfortunately the sign fell off my door bell that it's out of order so I was not able to meet him in person. But I will be going back to this Chandler location for sure. He is an owner who takes customer service to a whole new level and truly appreciates each and everyone of his customers. He did tell me that this is his lively hood so he takes it very seriously. Wow, he definitely does! He has talked to all of his staff and I believe that day was just one of those off days, perhaps even on my part. Thank you Jason for really caring! I had to edit because I was so shocked by the owner's customer service that I forgot to mention how great the food is. The food is what got me hooked on Culvers to begin with. All the menu items I've tried have been really good but my favorite is the sour dough melt, it has grilled red onions in the burger patty. The root beer float is the best ever!! The custard is delicous and the mint flavor is perfect. A nice surprise is their lemon ice. The ice is shaved like fresh snow and the lemon flavor is perfect. My daughters love it with strawberry topping. A nice healthier alternative to the custard.
