To be fair, Culver’s is a fast food date that I would actually be OK with.
Culver’s is damn good food. And I worked at Culver’s, on and off because college, for seven years. Still love it.
What would you recommend I eat there? I have been to Culver’s several times and have yet to be impressed. Please, show me the way.
What would you recommend I eat there?
I don’t think I’ve ever had anything there I didn’t like, but I’ve definitely honed some favorites over the years. A few go-tos of mine:
Double cheeseburger with grilled onions and mushrooms. You can also add lettuce and tomato, but honestly it’s pretty great with just the cheese, meat, grilled onions, and mushrooms. The ratio of flavors is perfect.
Mushroom and Swiss on sourdough with mayo, lettuce, and tomato. This is messy as hell, but it’s delicious.
The Wisconsin Swiss on Rye, but substitute American cheese and have them put thousand island on there for a really good smashburger version of a patty melt.
If you want a salad, whatever seasonal salad they have (cranberry bacon bleu, strawberry fields, etc) should be your go-to. You can substitute crispy chicken instead of grilled if you prefer. Theoretically you can even substitute a burger patty or fish, IIRC.
Their onion rings are unique and I love them. Almost like someone heard of the idea of onion rings, but only had thin burger-sliced onions and simple fryer batter.
Cheese curds are always good, too, but you gotta be hungry. They’re basically just little balls of fat and protein and are very filling.
During lent they may have walleye. I like their walleye more than the cod. Both are good, but I don’t often get fish. Not my thing.
And of course the custard is excellent. If the flavors available (chocolate, vanilla, and flavor of the day) aren’t to your liking, you can basically create whatever you want by adding toppings to a concrete mixer. I’m a big fan of peanut butter cup and banana added to either chocolate or vanilla. You really can’t go wrong though, get whatever custard you think sounds good and it will be good.
My major recommendation on custard is to err on the side of smaller sizes. It’s very caloric. Delicious though.
I like to hack together poutine there. They have all the ingredients, but it isn’t on the menu.
Pork loin sandwich is good shit
Double Deluxe with bacon, no mayo, no cheese, side of BBQ sauce and cheddar cheese sauce, dress with the sauce yourself. I don’t trust the workers to not make it a gloopy mess.
I prefer Freddy’s over Culver’s if they’re both an option, however.
Culver’s puts the AED right next to the soda fountains. They know their customer base, and are concerned about their safety and ability to come back.
I think it’s fine. And if you like it great. I’m not here to tell people they can’t like it.
But they very hard sell the whole “butter burger” thing and dude, they’re the same as regular burgers.
If you ask them what a butterburger is they’ll tell you: they generously butter the top of the bun before toasting it. Otherwise they’re just smashburgers, but I think they do a good job with smashburgers. Also custard is delicious.
I think I’ve ordered a “butter burger” once, they have a lot of other great stuff on the menu.
Well butter my burger and call me custard! This is almost as wholesome as the streets around South Bend, IN!
Ah, this clears it up!
Hey you know what, when you’re in love, whatever works. So many people are lonely, at least they found each other. 🥹
Aww, no hate, it’s still a wholesome sight. You guys do you!
Everyone Loves Cheese Curds
And custard.
The fuck is a “butter burger”?
I wanna know too.
Edit: apparently it’s a burger where the bun has been toasted in butter and relatively simple ingredients. Sounds pretty good tbh.
Their burgers are overrated, but the fries are good.
Nope, Culver’s is fuckin gross.
As a midwesterner I approve
Now that she realizes what he was up to, I bet she wishes she’d trimmed her bush
Why? It’s natural.
Free the bush, I say.
There’s a difference between landscaping and jungle, my friend
I can’t believe that nobody mentioned her pants. They are 🔥
Dream proposal.
The only thing missing is a rifle on his back and it would be the most American photo ever. “ButterBurgers & Frozen Custard” is already parody level 'Murican.
Bonus points for proposing in a Packers jersey.
With wizard sleeves.
Aww, that almost makes up for the diarrhea I get when I eat at Culver’s/
Just go to Freddy’s or Shake Shack. Culver’s is fucking gross.
You have offended my honor and the honor of my people! (midwesterners)
Nope. I’m from and currently in the shithole that is Indiana so I have skin in the game!
Culver’s is flavorless garbage and after finding out how they run their stores, I won’t go to one again.
So finding out how management runs the store physically altered the flavor of the food for you? Interesting
Lol no?
The food was shit well before I knew one of the managers, but hearing how he managed his store made it so I’ll never go to a Culver’s again.
