Culver's is one of those magically rare places that exists somewhere in between fast food and an actual diner-style restaurant. The premises is meticulously maintained by the amazingly courteous staff. For an out-of-towner in Ankeny on business, the staff is full of recommendations for your Culver's experience. They also play fantastic pop music from the 50's onward with special attention on the music of the 80's. You couldn't and wouldn't dare to compare this to a McDonald's or Burger King. This is a fine dining quality burger at a fast food price and convenience. Their food is unbelievably fresh, and the beef is never frozen. The patties are good sized and cooked to perfection and the lettuce, tomato, pickles and onions are fresh, crisp and delicious. You have a range of options regarding condiments and unlike the profiteering mega-burger joints, they are complimentary. Culver's also offers Chicken Sandwiches and Tenders as well as a Reuben Melt and Pot Roast Sandwich. Their shakes, Malts and Concretes menu run the full gamut. If it weren't 2° outside, I would be leaving with a milkshake fo sho. Lastly, their beverage section is ample. For goodness' sake, they have DIET ROOT BEER. Amazing. Another final thought: the staff is HAPPY. This is not something I see everywhere I stop. They truly seem to enjoy their jobs and coworkers and, especially, their customers. I wish there was a Culver's in Charlotte, NC.

Good food as usual, however I definitely believe the drive through worker didn't want to be there. It was no smile take card and tell you to pull ahead. But the good is wonderful, pumpkin pie shakes are delicious and so are the amazing butter burgers. I will be going back because it's one if my favorite burger places. But they need to train workers in " people skills"

For those who do not know what Culvers is; this is basically a fast food burger joint that is a bit more premium than places such as Mcdonalds, BK, or Wendy's. It is more on par with Bbops. Their food is always amazing, burgers and fries will not disappoint. Their ice cream is very good also, must try. I've been to other Culvers in the area and this one is no different. Friendly staff, no problems.

The staff have almost no concept of customer service, and clearly dont quite understand the words no thankyou with regards to onions and other toppings. However, that aside, the frozen custard is passable, but that's about it.

So, I stopped here on my way back to KS from MN. The service was fast for frozen custard but slow for food. The sandwich was okay but not the best (as was the frozen custard). The frozen custard reminded me more of soft serve than it did frozen custard...wasn't dense at all. The sweet potato fries were great! :-)
