Culvers

[New Englander]

I decided it was time to try the new Culvers on 466a. I ordered the Deluxe Double with fries & Diet Pepsi $10.59. (I get Diet because it erases all the food calories). This was my first time ever in a Culvers and I was very pleased. The burger was very good and they bring it right to your table. Satisfied customer! :icon_hungry:

Today was our first time as well. Deluxe doubles, fries for me, onion rings for DW, 1 Pepsi, 1 Dr Pepper. Add two more satisfied customers.

We always get the COD, whether its the meal or sandwich. We've always had a great experience at this location and the one on 466.

[Jimbob the Newbie]

People from the Frozen North (Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Illinois) have known about Culver's for years. When the first one opened, we Northerners ordered so much the custard machines couldn't keep up. At one point there was over an hour wait for frozen deliciousness!

Welcome to the Culver's fan club, folks!

[Nucky]

I let you know about a year ago about The Concrete Mixers. We went there tonight at the height of the downpour. That’s the power that Culver’s has. Now I need to get into a recovery program to beat the Culver’s problem. Is really good there.

I think Culvers has the best fish sandwich in the business. Wendy's used to have a good one around Easter but I think it's gone downhill a bit. The rest of the fast food joints aren't even a close third.

Culvers also occasionally has freshwater perch sandwiches as well as the cod. They're a nice change, especially for folks raised around the Great Lakes.

[RMHisle]

I like Culver's chicken strips better than Chic-Fil-a. And the concrete mixers are amazing!

I’m not much for fast food but I tried Culver’s twice ,once burger with just lettuce and tomato nothing else on it same with chicken sandwich I found both of them a little dry and not much flavor , I’ll stick to the $14 and $15 burgers at some of the restaurants around here when it comes to Culver’s you get what you pay for , the same goes for the more expensive one , every one likes what they like so I don’t need to be jumped on for not loving Culver’s I know it’s probably a sin to criticize an institution lol

Have never tried Culvers. Heard rave reviews and so-so reviews. Will give it a try one day

But this is the first review I read that was a paragraph long...one whole sentence.

[justjim]

We are originally from Illinois and had Culvers in our backyard for several years. We haven’t tried Trailwinds store yet but have the 466 store three or four times. We both agree the 466 Culvers was a bit less desirable than our Illinois store and we noticed a bit “trashy” on our last visit. It could be a lack of staff or onsite management so gave them the “benefit of doubt” that time around. Maybe a bit biased as we were used to a Culvers that seems to operate like a “well oiled machine”.
When the weather changes, I recommend Culvers Chili. We will Give Culvers at Trailwinds a visit soon.

A triple mushroom and Swiss burger cannot be deemed "dry" by any means. If you have someone that has a Gluten allergy, Culvers will sell you a cellophane wrapped/sealed hamburger roll so that you can put your burger on an uncontaminated roll. They also honor our veterans with a nice discount. The Villages is the first place where I have heard of Culvers and I am glad I did. Steak and Shake used to be my favorite.

Actually I'm glad you posted this. I thought I was the only one who wasn't impressed. When I worked at Publix in Southern Trace I went to Culvers after work a couple of times. Got a burger with cheese and mushrooms. The bread was soggy and basically inedible, the meat was - ground meat. Nothing exciting, nothing bad. The mushrooms were swimming in whatever grease they sauteed them in, which was probably why the bread was barely fit for consumption.

The fries were garden variety frozen crinkle-cuts - no better or worse than the Ore-Ida you get in the supermarket. The second time I went I tried the onion rings. What insanity drove them to SALT their onion rings?

In all, I was unenthused, unimpressed, and will likely not return unless they have a "buy a small fry, get the entire rest of your meal free" sale.

I’m sure it’s not dry when it’s loaded up with cheese and special sauces ie grease , but I prefer a hamburger with fresh lettuce and tomato where I can taste the meat , and where the roll doesn’t get stuck on the roof of my mouth but.can’t argue with a man whose best burger before Culver’s was steak and shake .

I like Culvers hamburgers but then again, I hate the taste of meat.:22yikes:

Culver's seems to have a thriving business, regardless of those with "discerning?" taste. I guess that is why such condiments as mustard and ketchup, pickles and onions, as well as being cooked with butter, gives the masses options to please the palate. Personally, I feel that mushrooms are better enhancements to bring out the taste of "meat" than lettuce and tomato.....but everyone has their preference. I do not know what part of the cow that Culver's uses for their hamburger, but Steak N' Shake does advertise a burger with ground chuck and brisket. Culver's does have other items on their menu besides burgers and they do brag of a decent ice cream or frozen custard. Personally, I prefer a greasy/buttery, juicy burger when my stomach can handle it, along with their french fries that seem to be cooked in fresh oil daily. That is another thing great about Culver's is their very "clean" appearing fries that do not seem to be cooked in OLD oil.
But, we all have our preferences and these are just my observations. Some folks prefer thick burgers and some of us prefer thin, smash burgers. Some prefer a plain roll and some like sesame seeded rolls or pretzel rolls. Some enjoy a salad on their burger and some of us just like mustard, ketchup and pickle on our burger, or plain old mushrooms and Swiss cheese. Ain't it great that we are different and not just cattle grazing in a field?

[charlieo1126@gmail.com]

Discerning taste , well I don’t think so but I do know when something is stuck in my throat , but as I said in first post everyone likes what they like . It’s nice to know they give a military discount ,but I wouldn’t know because I don’t go into every business and ask ,I’ve seen people ask and told no I think that would be embarrassing.I wouldn’t mind asking in businesses ,if there was someway I could give the discount to some mom with kids or students in the line but there isn’t so I’m not going to ask if they give a discount

I fell off the wagon after two days and have been to Culvers every night since Ian eve. I never ate much Ice Cream my entire life but their Concrete Mixers are like Crack! :police:

I think it's custard but I don't ask I just Crush, Kill, Destroy a Vanilla Mixer with Cookie Dough. I don't even have to give the order anymore. They just say come on up!!!!

[Jimbob the Newbie]

Haters will hate, and you are welcome to stay away from Culver's. Fewer people in line means I can get my fish sammich that much quicker.

Just a saying I reckon. I gave it up for Lent several years ago!!:1rotfl::1rotfl:

Ask for it? We got the senior discount without asking. Should we feel offended, or pleased?
We have been twice now. Still "satisfied" customers. But, when we head north to Bellevue, I like Checkers' Big Buford hamburger, fries and Coke. That is our favorite fast-food choice. ������ ������������

That's me. Mine caused by radiation and chemo. Lots of trouble eating dry foods. That is why I choose mashed potatoes with gravy over baked every time now. Some like, and even need, their foods juicy, but not necessarily greasy.

Our youngest daughter was asked for ID at Publix when buying a bottle of wine.
She was 51 at that time.
Made her day!!

Do they call that "Dry" humor, or maybe "dry mouth" humor?:D

Finally went to Culver's tonight.

(did not drive my golf cart......................cross threading alert!!)

Unfortunately, disappointed in the burger.
Got a deluxe.
Very small, not much taste.

I went to Culver's up in the Midwest a number of times.
The burgers were much better.
Not sure if they are sourcing the meat regionally, but it's not the same.
Hopefully the Culver Family can improve remote locations.

I agree, most of the red meat in Florida is lacking and that’s really difficult when one doesn’t care for red meat to start with…. The upper Midwest beef has a much better flavor and even aroma when being cooked.

[Northwoods]

I think you have to compare Culvers to other fast-food restaurants. I'll take Culver's over any other fast-food restaurant (except Chick-fil-a). Culver's makes their food "to order." If I'm going for fast food... I'll take Culvers over Mcdonald's or Wendy's or Burger King.

[Stu from NYC]

Went to the new Culvers last week first time ever at one.

Employees very nice and helpful but did not realize it was fast food restaurant and probably not going to go back as we usually do not do fast food.

[tophcfa]

Culver's ranks toward the top of the fast-food ladder, in my opinion. Not as good as Chick-Fil-A (what chain is?) but well up there.

I wouldn’t consider Chick-Fil-A fast food. We took the golf cart to the one near Spanish Springs around 7:30 PM yesterday and had to wait over a half hour in line to get to the drive-up window. We rarely get fast food and Chick-Fil-A will no longer be on our list of options.

[Pairadocs]

I decided it was time to try the new Culvers on 466a. I ordered the Deluxe Double with fries & Diet Pepsi $10.59. (I get Diet because it erases all the food calories). This was my first time ever in a Culvers and I was very pleased. The burger was very good and they bring it right to your table. Satisfied customer! :icon_hungry:

Typically do not eat fish sandwiches at fast food type restaurants. Exception to my "rule" is Culver's !

[BobnBev]

Is there a Chick-Fil-A in the villages?

I like that the northerners enjoy Culver’s. It keeps them out of the better establishments.

I thought that Steak and Shake had the best fast food burgers that I've ever had. Seems that they're struggling to stay in business however.
