    Fried Fish Dinner
    Kenny N.

    Culver's is a staple of the Midwest, so I was pleasantly surprised when I found out there was a location close by in Cary. Despite the busy lunch hour, I received fast and friendly service. The butterburger lived up to my expectations, tasting about as good as Shake Shack's burger at a fraction of the price. The battered cod fish and chips were also delicious, with a crunchy, flaky exterior. The highlight of my meal was the concrete mixer, a frozen custard dessert similar to a McFlurry, but with many more customization options. I ended up getting Butterfingers and Heath bar as toppings, and it was absolutely delicious. Pros: Fast, friendly service. Reasonable prices. Pro Tip: Be sure to order online or at the table if you want to skip the long lines. Also order the concrete mixer at the end, so it doesn't melt at the end of the meal. Cons: Limited parking in the parking lot, especially during lunch/dinner hours.

    It was an aggravating visit. I had 45 minutes between appointments. I stopped in with my husband at lunch time. We waiting for the food to be delivered to our table. I knew we were in trouble when people that checked out or sat down after us got their food. I went up to the front. I could see my gluten-free bun on top and I told them. Ok - they're busy and would do it. They were waiting for something. I waited 5-10 minutes more. Long story short, I went back up after waiting nearly a half hour to get my money back. Brad figured out what happened and gave me my money back and also my food. I had to eat on the way to my next appointment but it was delicious. I had a single butter cheese burger with a gf bun. The bun is absolutely amazing. They must have changed it from the last time we were in because it was super. I'm glad we got the food and feel grateful that Brad understood my frustration. Took off 1 star for the long wait.

    3 piece fish

    This restaurant was very clean and service was fast and good. We ordered the 3 piece codfish meal.. it cost around $16 I thought they were a little skimpy on the coleslaw. The codfish was good but you definitely needed to dip it in tartar sauce or ketchup. On its own it was plain. The fries tasted good. I would come back again and try something different.

    I had never tried Culver's before. We stopped in on a Sunday at around 5, and it was surprisingly pretty busy for such an odd hour of a Sunday. My BIL said it was like a better valued version of Shake Shack and I would say it's a pretty accurate description. You order at the counter, they give you a table number, grab a table, and someone will bring your food to you. Someone even came over while we were eating to see if we needed anything. Never seen this as a fast food place before! (or even some sit-down restaurants for that matter, LOL). We tried the Culver's Deluxe Butterburger, cheese fries, and some cheese curds. The burger was a bit salty but I must say, it was a pretty good burger. The fries are reminiscent of Shake Shack fries, but at half the price. I loved the cheese curds, but it could have used some sort of dipping sauce (if there was one, I missed it). For the custard, they have flavors of the day, which is pretty cool but I don't know how they keep up with that. Hubby had the blueberry cobbler, which was a little too sweet for me. Next time I'm in town, I'll just go back to basics and get plain vanilla.

    Northwoods Walleye sandwich

    The parking lot was slammed when I went by for supper. But they had plenty of staffing and it didn't take me long to order. Got my order number and found a seat pretty quickly, considering how packed they were. Clean interior. The servers were very friendly. I went to get their walleye fish sandwich that is only available seasonally. It's not your regular pressed fish sandwich. The walleye was tasty and nice and flaky. I'll think about coming back to try some of their other stuff. This location seems to be better than one other one I went to before.

    Butter burger

    I usually love this restaurant. But today I found the butt-end of a bug in my burger! Pretty disappointed. Not sure if I can eat here again.

    Love all the cute sayings on the all the cups and containers.

    Hands down best fast food place around. Burgers and ice cream can't be beat. I find it very hard to pass without pulling in to get a burger.

We both had tots, and agreed they could've been cooked a tiny bit more, but I still enjoyed mine. They have lots of beers on tap, but the are all their brews - would love to see a few guest taps. I went with a glass of wine - half off on Friday.

Pretty awesome, right? We happened to visit on a night when the live rock band Hired Guns was playing, which made the experience even more fun and energetic. The menu offers a solid variety of burgers, sandwiches, salads, and appetizers, along with a dedicated kids' menu. We ordered the chicken sandwich, Caesar salad, and traditional wings, with sides of tater tots and fries. The chicken sandwich was especially memorable--perfectly crispy with a slightly sweet flavor, tucked into a soft bun. The salad and wings were fresh and flavorful, and it's a bonus that you can turn any salad into a wrap. Cocktails were just okay, but that's understandable since Tap Station is more of a beer-focused spot. My husband really enjoyed sampling their IPAs! Service was quick and friendly, especially impressive given how busy the place was. All in all, Tap Station is a fantastic hangout for groups, families, kids, and even pets. We'll definitely be back!

    Grabbed lunch from here recently and had a decent experience…read more First, a warning! I ordered my food online using the website, and I received an email and text confirming my order. My pick-up time was set for 5 minutes after I sent the order, which was pretty solid. Unfortunately, when I walked in to get my order, the cashier apologetically told me that they hadn't seen the ticket because it doesn't automatically print from website orders. If you do use the website, you should also call them to let them know that you ordered something, which kind of defeats the purpose of using the website I guess. To their credit, the cashier did offer me a free drink while I waited, so I appreciated that. I was a little worried that the location would be confusing since it's inside the Ford dealership, but it was actually really easy to find. Just walk in and look for the sign :) I grabbed a red hot and white hot (which are hot dogs, for the uninitiated!) and macaroni salad for my side. Despite the snafu described above, the food was prepared reasonably quickly, and I took it home to eat. Overall, I thought the hot dogs were pretty decent, but the macaroni salad lacked flavor. It tasted pretty fresh but needed salt or something else to elevate the taste. Overall, I would probably come back here, but maybe for an in-person meal, and I'd try something else. The turkey pesto panini sounded pretty good!

Pretty neat rendition of a traditional product. I had a Heat wave burger, which I thought was going to be really spicy, but was pretty medium, for me... I am from NM, though, so I have a little bit of a spice skew. The burger was nicely cooked, and although the fries came out cold, they remade some for me that were hot and pretty good. They also had a nice beer and cocktail selection, so if you are in the mood, you can get your hop or wheat on, or marg... Nice looking spot on the inside, with either ample table or bar seating, so take your pick. This is the spot where they just announced that the theater will be closing, and demolished forever... in Park West, and I did notice a lot of closed businesses, but that I think is a separate issue relating to the ridiculous rents that they are asking for in Wake as a whole.
