    I first discovered Culver's back in 2011 while visiting Madison, Wisconsin. A friend from Madison--someone I knew while working on the Green Line project in Boston--insisted I try it. After two visits, I never forgot the experience. When I saw that Culver's opened near UNC CHARLOTTE, I had to check it out. This Charlotte location brings the charm of Wisconsin straight into the University City area. It combines sweet Southern hospitality with the brand's signature Midwestern comfort food, creating a welcoming atmosphere from the moment you walk in. I ordered the Double Bacon Deluxe ButterBurger with Wisconsin Cheese Curds--yum, yum, yum. The burger was perfectly seared, the bacon crisp, and the cheese curds as addictive as I remembered. I rarely drink soda, but their house-made Culver's Root Beer is impossible to pass up. The restaurant itself sits just off Interstate 85 and is impressively designed. Spacious, open, spotless, and relaxed, it resembles the Madison locations I visited years ago. It feels familiar in all the best ways while still fitting perfectly into the Charlotte dining scene. Culver's was founded in 1984 in Sauk City, Wisconsin, and has grown into one of the country's most beloved regional fast-casual chains. They are best known for their ButterBurgers, fresh frozen custard, and signature Wisconsin Cheese Curds. The chain emphasizes hospitality, cleanliness, and food made to order--values that are clearly reflected in the Charlotte location. Culver's now operates more than 900 restaurants across the United States, with a growing presence throughout the Southeast, including North Carolina. PLEASE COME TO THE NC TRIANGLE. If you're craving hearty Midwestern comfort food with excellent service, Culver's near UNC Charlotte is absolutely worth the stop.

    Looking for a quick bite to eat after arriving late in Charlotte and found this nice fast food joint with a line of cars in the drive thru. Offering a variety of typical fast food fare with advertised farm to table Ingredients. You order at the counter and they bring the food to your table. Lovely dining area good for families with kids and bigger groups. Butter burger and fries were tasty - chicken fingers were okay. Service was great - friendly and helpful!

    Great service each time in the drive through. Counter pickup see ice is inconsistent at best while management, I'll presume in the Back polos, leave much to be desired. Specifically lady with the strawberry blondish pony just hanging and swanging around the food but open top drinks made my heart skip a beat. Like, she doesn't even think of it. Anywhoo, they do a horrible job promoting their local specials BECAUSE for BOGO ice coolers.... I would have been here 5x a week. No shame

    Was in the area and decide to stop in for lunch, I wanted some Swedish meatballs from ikea, but my son preferred culvers and since I have not had it in a while, I complied! The restaurant was clean, we decided to dine in. My son ordered the cheeseburger kids meal and added bacon to his burger the kids meal comes with fries and a drink, you also get a coupon for a free scoop of ice cream. I ordered a deluxe cheeseburger and subbed my fries for cheese curds. My son inhaled his food! When asked he said his food was good. Maybe my tastebuds are changing on me because I found the burger to be a bit on the salty side, the cheese curds were hard to enjoy because they to were salty. The hamburger patty didn't have the signature crispy edges that a good Culver burger is known for. Idk, fast food lately has been really letting me down. After we ate, we redeemed the coupon for the free scoop of ice cream, they are able to either get a scoop of the flavor of the day or a scoop of vanilla or chocolate custard. With that free scoop they can choose one topping. I got a turtle sundae and it was delightful!

    Burger and Fries, Burger is nothing remarkable.

    Short and simple The fries are bland and need some salt. The burger isn't nasty but it's not good either. The fish is shaped like a brick and has nasty batter and is way too greasy. Service is quick and an order for 4 people was out within 3~ minutes. Cant discredit the general cleanliness for a fast food restaurant nor the speed in which they brought the food out. This is C tier dining and I won't return based on my own volition. I don't like the food, but I do have to admit this is still better than a lot of the other fast food options. 3/5 Dining.

    Alexis(?) was great, very pleasant and patient with our order. Love the variety of food and custard options available. Restroom was clean.

    After just moving out here and trying my first experience with the famous "butter burger" I am impressed. Upon entering the restaurant it was very spacious and clean. The staff were very welcoming and helpful in navigating the menu in search of the perfect burger. I found it in the limited time Colby Jack Pub Burger. This is a double beef butter burger with Wisconsin colby jack cheese, crispy onions, A.1. pepper mayo sauce on an everything bun. The combo comes with a drink and a side. I naturally chose the cheese curds being a Wisconsin based company. The meal was amazing and probably the best fast food burger I've ever had. I was left wanting a shake, but had no room left after the double cheeseburger so sadly that experience will have to wait for another trip. I have not one bad thing to say of this place as it was truly amazing and am very much looking forward to my next visit.

    I love Culver's. Great burgers, good cod and the best custard. I walked in this one and the cashier looked like a robot. She had a hand on both sides of the register abs stared straight ahead, didn't say a word or acknowledge me. The lady at the other register finished that order and asked me to come over to her. She was very nice, took my order and took me through the process to get my custard later although I already knew. The drink station was in need of cleaning and restocking. All the tables were dirty, not super bad but someone had clearly eaten there since they had been cleaned. I think this was a management issue as there were a lot of staff at the tables outside on break. Everyone needs a break but maybe stagger them so the job gets done too. Culver's usually does a really good job with the cod and I get it regularly. At this location the breading was not crispy and there was lots of grease on the plate pooled up. The best part was the second lady at the counter. When I went back to get the custard sundae she didn't ended look at my ticket, she remembered what I ordered and brought it out right away. She is probably the only reason I've did not give them a 1 start. They really missed the mark .

    I love a fried fish sandwich so I was excited to try the fried cod sandwich at Culver's. Their butter burgers are amazing so I had high expectations for the fish sandwich! The sandwich looked great but didn't have much flavor. Some salt and more tartar sauce would have made it better. I will stick to getting burgers in the future.

    Was staying at the Marriott nearly and none of the other restaurants in the area were open late…read more Walked in and ordered at the front. The customer service a was great! The guy that took our order was super chill and even gave recs for the spice level my group and I should get. All the food took about 10 mins to be prepared. We were able to grab a seat in the dining area while we waited. We got a variety of sliders, tenders, and fries. All the ingredients were fresh ingredients and the fries were crunchy and seasoned well. I appreciate that they don't skimp on the sauce if you need more. Glad Dave's are nationwide, bc this experience made me want to try them again.

    it's hot, it's chicken, there's even a Dave (but possibly just in a marketing sense at this point…read more I dunno...) came in for a little something between work and the coffee thing later in the day because nothing says relaxifying like bird chunks and fries. dining room looks clean so the pungency must be the guy ahead of me in line... order on the right, pickup on the left, wait outside sitting next to traffic because it's better that way. my #4 (slider plus fries) is ready pretty quick so I grab it and hasten back to the great outdoors to examine my bounty in the warm fresh air. longish slab o' crunchy chicken sticking out both sides of the bun and topped with slaw, pickle, and saucy sauce with more pickles and sauce on the side alongside a respectable pile of hot, crisp, and too salty crinkle cut fries that ate pretty well regardless ;-) slider is almost a chicken shooter; dip the ends in the sauce, bite of chicken, bite of pickle, repeat as necessary until you're holding a chicken sandwich... overall a fair meal at a reasonable cost. all freshly prepared and served piping hot and crunchy; dine in, dine out, carry out, however you wanna do this it'll get you fed and it might even set Peter's eat-o-meter to whirling.
