I love Culver's as a company, first. They are solid through and through. Each location varies a little, but I think, on the whole, the parent company does enough to keep the franchises in line very well. I've never been disappointed with any Culver's at which I've eaten. This location does everything well. I work near here, so I go here at least once a week for lunch, and have for probably the last four years. I have never had a single complaint. Even when they're busy, they manage to keep the place looking well and getting the food out fast and hot. The only knock I could issue against this place is the layout of their parking lot isn't great. It could get fixed. If you park on the right-hand side of the lot, you can get stuck in your space if there's a long line at the drive-thru.

It is what it is with culvers, decent food at a decent price. The staff can be friendly depending on the person and the day they're having. All in all just what you need out of fast food.

This review is solely for Boston Cream. This is my favorite flavor at other establishments. I really like the donut, the pie, just everything. However, this flavor? Total let down. It was too sweet and did not have a good cream flavor. Making cream flavored ice cream and adding chocolate does not make it Boston Cream. The effort was there but the execution was sad.

I know people are crazy for Culver's. It's an ok place for a custard, but I don't get the butter burger thing. Every meal I've eaten there just hasn't set well on my stomach--especially the "walleye" sandwich. I even tried a salad in an attempt to find something healthy. The lettuce was wilted and what chicken they had on top was uninspired and as dry as a shoe. I'll keep trying, though. I haven't had any of their soups, and if these are good I'm willing to rethink this review a bit. I will say they are very awesome with kids and generous with the free little dishes of custard for them.

Culvers signature item is the Butter Burger. The name says it all. One time, I my eyes were bigger than my stomach and I ordered the triple Butter Burger and could not eat it all. Way too much food along with a small fry and large diet coke ( I was dieting at the time! haha!) Seriously, besides Wendy's, Culvers is the only fast food burger joint I will eat from. Really enjoy their service whether it's drive thru or dine in. The staff, while typically high schoolers, are very nice. Some things to note: 1. Pop (aka soda) is typically flat regardless of what kind you get 2. Drive thru on Fridays is ridiculously long. You cannot even get into the parking lot and resort to parking across the street a the Associate Bank. 3. They Walleye Dinner is seasonal but is also their 2nd best item on the menu. 3rd would be their chicken tenders which are 100% white meat and VERY fulfilling 4. Pricey. You can easily spend $20 for two people. 5. Flavor of the day typically sucks. Sorry. It's rare that I pass by and see a flavor I want to stop and order 6. Wish they would send out more coupons. Earlier in the summer, they will send out a variety of GREAT coupons you can take advantage of such as by one burger, get the 2nd free. Love it when they dish out them coops. 7. Not the biggest fan of their fries but they aren't bad. 8. Boring Salads. Not friendly to dieters!! Be warned. Culvers is a great family oriented restaurant to eat it. They are a step up from fast food in my opinion. Special Note: Culvers CATERS! Yes. This is something many people do not know. Call your nearest Culvers for more information. I've used the catering services twice and both times were fantastic!

The best fast food I know of. Maybe Chipotle, as well. Staff is always friendly. I'm not from here but this place is very Wisconsin-y to me, in a food way. Good chili.

It's Culvers, what else can I say. I love the place. Best fast food for the price. This particular Culver's is getting a review because of how great it is. There is something about this location that stands above the rest and I can not put my finger on it. better tasting food, better frozen yogurt, better specials every day...I just don't know. It is just great. I have to also add in that this location is always busy. Always busy! Cars coming onto the road busy, so this must mean I'm not the only person that thinks this Culver's location is extremely awesome.

Love me some Culver's! The burgers rock, the cheese turds & onion rings are fab, and the fish fry is REALLY good! And, let's not even talk about the malts! OMG, sooooo gooooood!

First of all, this is Culvers. I love the mushroom and swiss burger, delicious, I crave it and I am not a fast food person! They custards are to die for and I am glad that I do not live by a culvers because I would probably try to eat there every day! I love their food, service has always been great here!

Every Wisconsin fatty loves a good butterburger, we all know that, but what sets this Culvers apart from the others is the fact that its hands down the best one in Madison, and maybe even Wisconsin. The food is always hot,fresh,well prepared,and served quickly and politely. The other thing is its cleanliness. Its restrooms are always very clean and smell good, and the tables are quickly bussed and wiped down to make room for the next customer. The floors are kept immaculate, and you will never see a mess on the floor or at the condiment station. I think this is because the owner takes great pride in his resteraunt, and is always there. I know this because I live close and eat here 3 times a week, and he's always there. Most of the staff has worked there for a long time as well, and are good at their job. This place is the blueprint of what a Culvers should be,and a shining star among the companys resteraunts.
