This place had a variety of great food for me and her. They have plenty of vegan options for my wife and plenty of great other options for me. Their food does take a while to make especially if there's a line but with that being said I could say that the food is worth the wait and it absolutely fills you up. Staff here was very nice and friendly. The dining area is very clean and well kept as well. There's plenty of parking as well.

Came looking to have a few drinks. It's a place that certainly has some. They also have good prices for these. Basically there's not really an atmosphere.

They turned out to not have shit. It's about $1 for potato chips. They must have changed the menu since the last time. Has a pretty good happy hour. It's the best thing about it.

Seemed to confuse short female cashier. She asked if all the order could go in one bag, I said sure. When order was ready, picked up bag at counter, took to table and fries were thrown in on their side with half of the fries at the bottom of the bag. I didn't tip bag on the way to the table either. On arrival, music playing was loud enough. Once sitting down, someone in the back cranked up the music and was so loud couldn't hardly talk and hear my daughter sitting with me. Went back up and ordered concrete, Tall female cashier never said thank you and walked away. I had to reach over and pull my receipt off printer. When concrete was ready, walked up and part of my dessert was on the outside of the cup. Had to get a napkin and wipe it off to handle it. Poor service and seemed like staff just didn't care.

If you have never had one, you are missing a mouth full of YUM! Last night, I went through the drive-thru and ordered my meal with special instructions. When I got home, I realized the order wasn't correct. I ate the fries and ice cream and counted it as a loss. Well, as I was returning from a trip this afternoon, I went by Culver's again. I was still needing that butter-burger itch scratched. Unfortunately, my order was made incorrect again. This time, I saved the burger, and after a brief nap, I drove back to Carbondale, determined to get my burger. As soon as I walked into the door, I was greeted by Manager De'Ante. I explained what had happened and asked for a replacement meal. I didn't want to go another day without that delicious burger. De'Ante repeated my order to ensure it would be done correctly, then told his team to begin the preparation of my meal. I am happy to report that the Culver's team got it right this time! We all have bad days, so I try to grant grace when something goes awry, and I love it when a restaurant is responsive and willing to correct its mistakes. Not only did I get my food hot and fresh, but unlike when I went through the drive-thru, I could see how beautiful the restaurant was inside. I was impressed with the accessibility and cleanliness as well. As you can see from the attached photos, the restaurant and lot are clean, well-lit, and extremely inviting. I recommend you go to Culver's for a delicious meal. When you stop in, tell them Kindra Speech sent you!
