I love just about all Culvers, and this is a really great sit-down location. The adult and kids meals for burgers and chicken tenders are both yummy and you do get a nice amount of quality food for your money (although do expect to pay more than other fast food restaurants). You can't go wrong with their classic custards or concrete mixers! One scoop comes with every kids meal. Ordering from your table is an option, but the staff at the front end are cheerful so it's nice to talk to someone directly. Very spacious, lots of natural light, well-stocked condiments/napkin station and an overall clean restaurant. Lots of parking. The bathroom was clean and well stocked too. I definitely recommend stopping in if you have time to skip the drive-through! read more

I stopped by for a dinner. Spicy crispy chicken sandwich was my favorite entree item. Deluxe single burger was really good as well. Chicken tenders was ok. Culver's had a recent tie up with General Mills. There were 3 limited time concretes as part of this. I went with Cinnamon toast crunch concrete mixer. It was ok. I finished of dinner with my favorites - turtle sundae and cashew caramel sundae. Many a times I visit Culvers only to have the sundaes. There is a ton of cashew and turtle in the sundae. read more

I was craving a walleye sandwich and decided to stop by. I ordered the walleye value basket, but the cashier gave me a confused look and said, hmm, what was that? I repeated myself, and he still didn't seem to understand. I clarified, walleye--the fish,and he had to ask someone else about it. I wondered if it was his first day, but there was no trainee badge or trainer nearby. On top of that, there is a clear advertisement for walleye just feet away from the counter. When I finally received my food, it was honestly disappointing. I understand inflation is a factor, but the fish filet was incredibly small (see photo). While the flavor was good, the portion size was unacceptable. The filet is definitely hidden inside the bun not like what the advertisement. I hope management takes a closer look at their staff training protocols and reevaluates the quality and size of the walleye filet from their vendor. Culver's markets itself as a fast-food restaurant that uses higher-quality ingredients--but this experience definitely fell short of that standard. read more

Always amazing!!! Have been coming here for years and never had a bad experience or wrong order. They crush it

It was good but I found a metal rod in my food but I got a refund but the burger was good.

Food was good as always. Culver's is the best. And the server Violeta was extremely nice to my girlfriend and I. 10/10 thx violeta!!!!

Burgers don't taste any better than McDonald's now. Everything is not as good since they sold shares.

Little chocolate in chocolate shakes always. Service is rushing without listening Noisy busy ambience.Good for Covid transmission. Too much deep fried food!! read more

One of the worst burgers in Wisconsin. The fish and sometimes the shrimp is good. But the burgers are the worst.

As much as much as I eat Culver's and love the taste of the food many people who work at this location are creeps they stare at me and my family it gets quite annoying and they act weird read more

Always a great place for quick fresh burgers and curds. I've been to many Culver's locations, this one is quick and fairly convenient and always busy so you know your food is going to be fresh and flavorful. read more

Cleanings could be better. Always Great customer service. Food is good. Great location as it is next to sky high.

Slowest service ever every time I visit this location Over 5 mins for a plain single burger!!!!! Really? read more

Went to Culver's for the first time today. The food was standard drive thru food. Ordered cheese curds-actually surprisingly well seasoned. And a concrete blended ice cream. They didn't scrimp on the mix ins and this was easily the best thing we ordered. The burger didn't impress-would probably go else where if that was what we were in the mood for. read more

Waitperson Rhylea was very helpful in the ordering process.I had never ordered their fish dinner,she should be commended.the fish dinner was very good except too many fries for me.the batter was crispy and just right.I would order this again.thanks,Chris ogden read more

This is the worst Culver's in MADISON!! And remember to check expiration date on the sauces because they don't !! read more

Good food, fast service, even though very busy, enjoyable to sit and eat inside nice decore ..

Food is hot & fresh, it's always busy in here. Store is clean. There's an outdoor patio with flower plantings, which is pleasant. That said, the patio is in between the drive thru lane and the Beltline so don't count on it being a zen oasis. read more

Are you driving around Madison, scrolling through Yelp trying to find a place where you and your friends could have a good time and indulge in some authentic cheese curds and a few butter burgers? and top it off with some creamy velvet milkshake refreshments? LOOK NO FURTHER! This is a place you want to go too! Go ahead and treat yo-self and give this place a try! read more

They go nuts for Culvers in WI but after two butterburger's I have to say, it's a bit overrated. The burgers are small and they nickel - and - dime you for toppings. The crinkle cut fries aren't crispy. There's always a long line, and prices are higher than other fast food restaurants. Still, it's not a bad burger for the price point, just not as mind-blowing as some in the Midwest may have you think read more

It was very poor quality and disturbing. Their other branches are good, but I was not satisfied with this branch.

Culvers is above advantage fast food. The bacon butter burger was tasty and the onion rings were so so. Root beer float was great! Service was fast food quality . The store was clean and well kept. I give it 4 stars a step up from McDonald's! read more

This is the best Culver's in the area! Onion rings almost always cooked to perfection. Never burned or cracked open. Great chicken tenders. Delicious steamed broccoli. And good quick service at the drive through. Two thumbs up! read more

On two separate occasions my girlfriend and I have gone to this specific Culver's intending to use our free value basket coupon. A different manager both times denied these coupons. Once because "they just didn't accept those there." And the most recent time was because "the owner can choose not to accept these." If you like Culver's but hate meanies, avoid this specific Culver's! read more

If you're from Wisconsin, Culver's is it's own food group. You grew up eating their crinkle cut fries, curds, butter burgers, and custard. You collected scoopie tokens from the kids meals and you remember the day you finally collected enough to get that famed Scoopie keychain to put on your backpack. If you're not from Wisconsin, first of all, welcome to our fine state. Do you find the concept of putting literal butter on a burger cooked in butter absolutely disgusting? Then please - turn around at Beloit or Kenosha or La Crosse because you will NOT like it here. Yes - we put butter on our burgers. Hey - technically we aren't the fattest state anymore though! We are just dang proud of our dairy and we like to put cheese and butter on just about everything! That's the secret to Culver's burgers - it's actually no secret. They tell you that "secret ingredient" right on the big blue sign that faces the Beltline. Butter. Burger. That's all there is to it. It's probably one of the best fast food burgers you'll ever have outside of In-N-Out in California (but remember, happy cows come from Wisconsin, NOT California!) Culver's also popularized frozen custard - which is basically fancy ice cream. Some people (most Wisconsinites) swear by it - others (mostly FIBs) prefer the devil's cream - SOFT SERVE (yuck!). If you haven't tried it, you should. Granted, if you're looking for the best frozen custard in the state, you're not going to find it at Culver's and you're also in the wrong city. Madison is pretty devoid of decent frozen custard stands. If you want the best in the state, head to Leon's, Kopp's, or Oscars in MKE. Then there's cheese curds. IMO Culver's is also not the best place to get cheese curds but if you don't have time to patronize one of the millions of local taverns that perfect that little fried cheesy ball of goodness, Culver's will certainly not disappoint. This location is a halfway decent location. It's not the best - they've screwed up my order a few times which is whatever. But the staff is usually pretty friendly and the quality is usually spot on. Still - I couldn't justify giving any Culver's any less of a five star review. Still - they NEED to bring back fried chicken. read more

I keep getting cold food which I thought wasn't supposed to happen if you have to wait for them to make it. Pretzel bites were like rock hard little pebbles and cheese sauce had some unidentifiable object in it. Soup had almost nothing but broth which for 5 bucks is pretty pricey broth. I was disgusted. Won't be going back--I know one person doesn't matter much to Culver's--the person on the drive through sounded annoyed that I was there to place an order. Still, I'll be putting my 25 dollars in someone else's pocket from now on. read more

Culver's is always a very nice place to go.its restaurants are clean and way nicer then most fast food joints. Service is good but the food is mediocre at best. read more

went to culver's 1/5/24 a little before 8pm & honestly the drive tru experience was horrible. female (long brunette hair and large gold hoops) was working the drive thru that night. she told us we couldn't do two separate orders. the cheese curds we ordered were empty flipped upside down. & the girl in the drive thru working immediately was inappropriate in the tone of her voice and said "NO" you can't do that. read more

They're on GrubHub now. Daily Dollar deals & Lemon Ice year rond at this location. Lemon Ice year round keeps me loyal plus the indoor patio doesn't hurt when it's time to study. read more

We were given the wrong order and was treated disrespectfully while trying to explain we had gotten the wrong order. We order the fish sandwich combo meal and got the fish plate and was charged for the drink. We called up the store and asked why were we charged for the drink, and the manager became rude and said what do you mean. I told her we ordered the combo meal and that the drink should have come with it. The manager took money of the exact amount from the cash register for the drink, she gave it to me. She then ask for the drink back and threw it in the garage without saying a word. I called the owner of the restaurant and she never called me back. read more

There are few things more divine than indulging in rich custard bursting with flavors after running around under the scorching sun. To my delight, this Culver's is conveniently located on the way to the soccer fields. Every Monday on the way to soccer, I scope out the flavor of the day and spend my time at soccer dreaming about the delectable flavor combinations I can create when I inevitably stop on my way home. Today's flavor was Kit Kat Swirl, which was a lovely pairing with hot fudge and peanut butter. The contrast between the cold, creamy custard and warm, luscious chocolate was nothing short of spectacular. Not to mention, the nutty flavors played off each other just as splendidly as Timon and Pumbaa. I'll be back next week! 4 out of 5 stars, though, because my Kit Kat Swirl didn't appear to have a swirl. Should really be called Kit Kat Mashup. Very misleading. read more

I was not welcomed by delicious. I normally LOVE Culver's. But tonight, the cheescurds were cold, the fries were stale, and my butter burger was not butter burgering. All the food tasted like it had been sitting out for hours. Also many tables were dirty:( so sad. Mr Culver, as a proud Wisconsinite for 8 years- I'm utterly disappointed in you. read more

i talked to a lady on the phone about my order and she was extremely rude and short and made me wait on hold for a super long time for figuring out a simple question. she also did nothing to help me with my order and was practically rushing me off the phone. service is very iffy. would not recommend this location! read more

Avoid this place like the plague, Culver's lost me as a customer today, I am never coming back. Everything but the drinks was ice cold or rock hard or made with the wrong toppings. I went back and saw about 3 other orders come in and ask for a remake, wouldn't even give me a refund. Never ever come here unless you want to waste your gas and time and money. read more

Been coming to this Culver's my entire life and have always had good experiences. Tonight was a highlight, sharing some Chelsea/Arsenal banter back and forth in the drive-thru, which made my night! The staff do a fantastic job, looking forward to my next visit! read more

This is a bigger Culver's - and it needs to be. This location can get pretty busy. The woman taking our order was super fast and efficient. We ordered and paid in what felt like seconds. We took our number, grabbed some drinks and sat down. Before we could get through the flip-card display on the table, our food had arrived. I don't know what their deal is, but they had $1 waffle cones (every day? Just Thursday? I don't know, but it was great!). Standard Culver's food - good and consistent. read more

Came here for my custard fix. They have so many everyday flavors and fun, unique flavors of the day. This day I had the blackberry cobbler which was just what you expected it to be... vanilla with blackberry fruit and granola. Yums for me. Not yums for the husband. The previous time I was here, I got the cheese curds (which were not as good as I remembered it to be..) and the crinkle cut fries which is always yum. The ambience during winter time is very warming with the lights and decor. It's busy here and looks nice. Seems like a lot of high schoolers and families come here to just hang out. Staff is great. read more

If you're not from Wisconsin, how do you explain Culvers? First, frozen custard. It's like ice cream, but it melts quicker and is a lot more buttery. And you only get 2-3 flavor choices a day. Then burgers. Put butter on them too. Put it in the name in case anyone is hoping they'll go easy on the grease. Burgers and custard is a popular combination in Wisconsin but unusual to others. Culvers is the mass market, yet still good example we are taking to the world. The quality isnt near as good as, say, Kopp's or Oscar's, but it's also WAY better than the fast food burgers most non Wisconsinite's are used to. For those who arent used to our region, think a 5-Guys burger, but less substantial and less expensive. They have many other menu items, mostly sandwiches and salads, of similar quality. Way better than McDonalds/Burger King, not the same caliber as real sit down restaurants. You can get a reuben, or a "pot roast sandwich" (basically a french dip). They used to have fried chicken but I havent seen it on the menu in a while. This location is the busiest in the entire chain, so they are able to offer specials that other locations do not. They are open until midnight every night. I have had very good service here and very rude service here. Culver's is our go-to for burgers and comfort food when we are in a hurry or on a budget. read more
