Wawa is made to order, anyway you want. Fast food is what you see on the board is what you get

Default Culver's

Only here, does a gas station receive props for good food. Am I missing something ?

Oh, we’re talking about Culver’s, right.

I need a quart of 10W-40, must I pour it in myself ???

Please check my tranny fluid. Thanks.

No worries, when 3 Culver’s opened near our home up north, the parking lot looked just as it does now. But year later it’s the same as any other fast food line. All the other fast foods are still doing good business. When Culver’s sends out its coupons buy one get one, the sales soar back to grand opening days. Then slows down to a normal pace.

It will never look like BK parking lot

I've never been to a Culver's so 2 days ago was my first experience. I CAN'T wait to go back. I won't have a single burger next time, definitely a double. It was very good, clean, great service. YUMMMMM

I tried a double burger with bacon for the first time. I do not like fast food all that much but this was actually quite good. Not sure how healthy but I doubt if I will get Culver's very often.

Calories 850.. if you go drive through you don’t notice the calorie/nutrition numbers as much.

We were there this afternoon around 3...business was brisk but not slammed like at noon! I think they'll do just fine, even after the new-ness is off. Met the owner and he's---he's young and enthusiastic.

From the comments---it's like any restaurant---folks will either love/like it or hate it. Even hear stuff in the midwest where this one originated. Still, I think they're a better choice than McD's or the other similar ones. Once they get their salads back---you can have more healthy choices too or have the grilled chicken and a healthy side! Noone is forced to eat the deep-fried items!!

If it passes in the Golden State and seems to be accepted then transplanted Californians who have improved the lives of many in Colorado , Washington and Oregon and in parts of Texas and most recently Idaho are prepared to lobby hard for similar legislation .

4 ounces?


You might want to research that a little more.

Culvers has very good salads! Hope you are all enjoying the new Culvers in The Villages. I am overdue for visiting the Culvers near me in suburban Chicago.

Until WAWA is golf cart accessible, I will stick with my options here in The Villages.

It will never be golf cart accessible. More room for people who drive cars.

That sounds accurate. Too expensive to put a golf cart bridge over 301.

The server at Culver's said he was privileged to serve me and the guy who took my order said something I did not quite catch. Now that is attention. Culver's has a different drive through than I am used to. Lots of charming smiling teenagers it looked like.
