Maybe we haven't had a lot of food you have eaten but that doesn't mean we don't enjoy food perhaps you haven't eaten. If you have had cornbread and beans cooked by a person born in Kentucky then I am wrong. Or liver and onions. Or Beef heart. Souse. Thuringer.

We can learn from each other. BUT...I don't like anyone elses potato salad as well as my own.

Great Fish Sandwiches. Yummy place to eat.

Here, look for yourself;

Culver's Menu | Butter Burger, Frozen Custard, Curds & More

And don't forget the occasional specials, such as the deep fried cheese curds, the ultimate of little cholesterol bombs!
Very tasty!!

What is the percentage of people who die from stressing out about their friends consumption of fat grams versus those that eat fat grams? I have noticed Culver's on 27 in clermont (I think) coming and going from Disney, but never stopped. Anxious to try it.

[pooh]

Have only been to Culver's one time and really enjoyed my meal. Will be nice to have a place to stop for a quick bite on a busy day.
Haven't even looked at the other items available, but now that they'll be closer than Orlando area, I'll take a good look....🍦🍔😁

Always bring an order or 2 of cheese curds home with us and share with the neighbors.

Starting and keeping any restaurant running and allowing the owner to make enough to live on can be a very difficult career choice. Easy to say there should be more ethnic foods venues available, but getting a company or even Mom and Pop restaurant to the surrounding area might be easier to say than to do. There's always the possibility of locals starting up or financing such a venue, but the possibility of 80 plus hour work weeks, staffing expenses, costs for a good chef and sous chef, start-up expenses, etc might not be appealing to many backers.

there is a HARDEES in Wildwood just off the reservation

culvers is ok not fabulous, two fish dinners almost $30. I can do better, our friends own three, always busy, but as they say one should only eat there once in awhile.

No, Culver's is better than any McDonald and Burger King, not even close. They don't let their food set on shelf, served with week old buns, or microwave the cool food. Matter fact you can add Wendy's, toco bell, Johnny rackets, and 5 guys disaster.

I think we need more European style restaurants, pay more and get less. Ethnic foods has to have big population of people that like it to even come close to surviving. Plenty in Orlando and even Ocala. Narrow window of profits around here. Culver's really higher quality than your normal fast food mismanaged restaurant. never been to one that wasn't squeaky clean, efficient, fresh, and full of customers. No eatery is for everybody, imo Culver's will just fine around here.

So, what are your friends saying. It they were honest and really concerned about their customers and feel that strongly they should put up disclaimer saying don't eat too often our food will kill you.

you can do better, but you are not the populist of the villages, I always suspect the well to investors/owners don't give $$$$ about average joes just want they're money.

Who eats at any restaurant all the time, O, I sorry I forgot the ones can't cook or too lazy to cook.

And I'll add the ancient but still true statement, "Everything in moderation". Culver's, or any burger joint for that matter, should not be a 7 days a week lunch spot. However, life is to be savored and enjoyed and sometimes I savor a really good burger or whitefish sandwich!
