I was hoping to make a quick stop to place a carry out order, but it took longer than it should have. It wasn't busy and there were no cars in the drive thru but I went inside so I could make pit stop. There were several employees behind the counter but only one was taking orders. So I had to wait quite awhile to place my order, which was a just a grilled cheese value basket. It took longer than usual to get my food, and it wasn't until I was down the road that I realized the grilled cheese wasn't really grilled. The bread was not toasted or grilled and the cheese wasn't melted. How difficult is it to make a grilled cheese sandwich anyway. Cheese curds were tasty. They were hot and fresh. There were spilled fries and trash on the dining room floor. Not the best Culver's visit. read more

Culver's - Cheese curds, anyone? - Burgers Near Me - Merrillville, Indiana

I've been going to this Culver's since they opened and the service has gone downhill majorly the last few years. I ordered ahead for curdside pickup. Get there, check in on the app, and waited. And waited. And waited. I finally had to end up calling inside and being like ummmmm hi checked in 15 mins ago, the food was supposed to be ready then? They bring the food out immediately, the ice cream was melted, and our food was cold. Somebody messed up and it was just sitting there, they just didn't feel like bringing it out. read more

Culver's - Kid's ButterBurger Kids Meal - Burgers Near Me - Merrillville, Indiana

Update: It's been three years since my last visit here on the way from Indianapolis to Wisconsin, and this place is STILL YUCKY. Even the chairs are sticky. On top of that, it is so hard to access from the highway - this is not a place to make a pit stop. Totally not worth it. Other complaints: Food took forever to be brought out (my grilled cheese was room temp by the time it got to our table), the soda to syrup ratio is off, and when they brought our custard to our table (finally) it was a melted pile. Don't put yourself in this situation, lol! Wait for a different culvers if you are road tripping! There are greener pastures out there! read more

I have been craving some Culver's for a minute; so I decided to stop in and grab me some Lunch. I would just like to say that it's Very Refreshing to see very manorable, Pleasant and respectful young adults here and that has Always been my experience at Culver's restaurants. I had the walleye fish sandwich basket and it was Delicious, hot and very fresh. The service was quick and easy. I know that their food is prepared once ordered and I never mind the wait because I am Sure to get the food hot and delicious. The restaurant is a good size; it's always clean with a good ambiance. Overall experience is definitely 5 Stars for me. read more

Called to notify Manager that the double butter burger with bacon that we ordered, was missing the bacon!!! When we called we were told we could have a concrete!!! We did not order a concrete, we ordered a doubled bacon butter burger. We spoke with a Manager and then a GM. Neither one had any managerial skills. Nobody even asked their staff if they omitted the bacon that was ordered and paid for!!! But they asked us to get into our car and drive all the way back for something we never ordered. It never crossed their mind that they could credit us back for the price of the bacon the next time we were back at their location. Bacon is only .80 cents!!! I will NOT return to this location again. They have no common sense!!! They should not be managers. They don't even have Supervisor skills. A manager, manages, handles, resolves problems and is careful to create an atmosphere where the customer feel valued and not HANDLED!!!! You Lost 2 good customers today. Actually more than that. Because going forward I will Never recommend Culvers again to my friends, neighbors or co-workers read more

Shout out to the whole entire Culver's crew that worked the July 12th PM shift! You al are rock stars!

Horrible Manager V***e. Unprofessional. Not professional or empathetic. Like I enjoy burning my gasoline and wasting my time having to return because my original order had been wrong and I didn't realize this until I got home and my grandbaby told me. I cant say horrible enough! Horrible! Horrible! Horrible! read more

Me like fries Me likes catsup Me likes their cod sandwich Me like their carpet Me likes their cleanness Me likes their burgers too read more

Kinda slow service but it was lunchtime so kinda to be expected to a certain degree. The food was excellent and tasted exactly how I remembered it. The chocolate malt was a bit light on the malt but otherwise was good. read more

Disrespectful manager with a nasty attitude. The customer service is absolutely horrible at this location. Will not be coming back.

Ignore all the Karen's. I've been coming here for years, love this place and they treat you excellent. Wait is the same time as every Culver's. People don't consider the work load or lack of staff when complaining about mistakes or increased wait times. I value my Merrillville Culver's and the people who work in it. read more

I'm sorry but worst Culver's I've ever been to, was to hot last yr then I said something and next time was below zero with other customers talking about it. Screw up order or don't tell you there outta stuff until after like forget the bacon or we don't have cheese sauce smh. I lived in Chicago and the worst Culver's there is way better and that is not good. read more

Now I love Culver's, but this one is awful. First of all, I ask the cashier what the difference is between a shake and a malt, which he told me there was no difference even though I know there is one. Second, I asked for a plain single butter burger with cheddar cheese, instead he gave me a single butter burger with mushrooms and Swiss cheese. Third, one of the workers was yelling at the others and demanding the food to be served. Lastly, the restaurant was full of garbage and trash. Overall, would NOT recommend going here. read more

It took 48 minutes for my food to arrive and usually culver's is pretty fast with your food

Outstanding service and delicious food. My wife and I swung by spontaneously on a Sunday night. We shared a Butter burger and fries, and then enjoyed a tasty Culver's mixer for our desserts. The burger was out-of-this-world, and our mixers hit the spot. All customers seemed content and satisfied, as the service was impeccable. The young staff was attentive, hard-working, and extremely polite. This restaurant has nailed it each time we've visited. We shall return. America loves Culver's .... read more

Giving it a 1 because you have to give it something. Manager and hood rat friends tried to Jump me because I didn't want a burger with undercooked bacon and after the third time it came back burnt. read more

Absolutely the worst Culver's in the NWI area. They forgot half of my order and I have had to wait for nearly 40 minutes for it. All staff is completely unprofessional. You're better off driving to another Culver's in the area rather than this one, a drive is worth this "service." read more

The North Atlantic Cod is delicious and the side salad is fresh. Service is great employees are very friendly.

Food was good but service was slow. I was one of the two cars waiting for my food in the drive-thru and my order took almost 20 minutes to get. read more

Just stay away, it took over 30 minutes for a single scoop sundae. Multiple people got full meals before I got my sundae. I had to walk in to ask where my order was since I was in the drive thru and they handed me a half melted sundae that had clearly been sitting there. Horrible service! Used to be good, just horrible now. Will never give my money to them and will encourage anyone and everyone to stay away. read more

We love that the food is made fresh for you. Service may take a little longer, but it taste so much better than warmed up food from "the fast food giants" that have to get you through the drive through in 2 minutes or less. I would have given 5 stars but we received an under cooked chicken sandwich. No, we didn't go back or call in to complain. We had already gotten home and didn't want to go back. read more

They need to improve the line for the drive-through is crazy. It takes forever for them to complete the order and when they do complete the order is completely wrong. If I could give zero stars, I will definitely do that. read more

We stopped there on our way home from Florida. It was about 8pm my wife went inside and ordered a fish sandwich. She noticed gluten-free bread was an option so asked for the sandwich on the gluten-free bread. We got back in the car and continued driving . She opened the bag and the bun was in a closed wraper and the fish and the lettuce were in the bottom of the box in a mess no bun. She had to make her own sandwich read more

Cheese curds and pretzel buns: two menu items that keep Culver's ahead of the fast food competition, in my opinion. We visited the drive thru for a quick meal on the road. It's nice how they have the parking spots up ahead so that the drive thru doesn't get really backed up. The butter burger always satisfies. read more

Culver's - Lunch on the go: pretzel burger and Wisconsin Cheese Curds - Burgers Near Me - Merrillville, Indiana

Came here for a walley sandwich and got a piece of fish that didn't even cover the bun. Went I. And complained so they made me another sandwich with a nicer filet. However this one had bones and scales . Not happy. read more

I would like to make a review on this particular Culver's I have been here numerous times and there have been a lot of problems with this restaurant first they hire kids that don't take pride in there job they constantly get things wrong with the orders and the last time I was there I went inside to place my order I was still waiting over 25 minutes later so I finally gave up and said give me my money back there were at least 6 employees but only 1 or 2 were actually working I called the manager at the Crown Point Culver's and said since this incident happened in Merriville there was nothing they could do they even contacted there General Manager! I will not be back very disappointed with the out come they just don't seem to care! Culver's in Merriville one of the worse! read more

They'll make you wait, give you attitude, mess up your order. Try to call the store, it's a shady buy the minute cell that is out of minutes. They don't want to hear from you! read more

The drive through service person was very rude and vulgar. Used foul language and was very dismissive. I was afraid to order food in fear of him sabotaging my food. read more

Culver's is what I would call a triple threat. It's cheap, quick, and quality, not to mention the cleanliness of the fast food joint. Cheddar butter burger, side of fried cheese curds, and a cup of the frozen custard (I usually go for the flavor du jour). Done, done, and done. read more

Culver's - cheddar butter burger and fried cheese curds - Burgers Near Me - Merrillville, Indiana

I bought a hamburger basket which was $7.80. I pull out to the window and she hands me my Pepsi with no ice. She tells me that they have no ice!! How the fuck do you not have ice?! I threw my pop and number out and drove away. It wasn't about the money. It's ridiculous that they didn't have ice. read more

I had a good experience going to my first-ever Culver's in March, so this seemed like a good spot to stop for a late lunch while driving from Chicago to Indy. Got the kiddie meal, which was a complete meal with Butterburger with cheese, small fries, choice of drink, and a scoop of frozen custard, yay! I really thought the Butterburger was the same size as a regular one, but the nutrition facts list the kiddie one with fewer calories, so it must be a bit smaller. You really can't tell though. Awesome taste, a good value, and nice ambiance inside. The crinkle cut fries were really good with an awesome potato taste. I also tried a bite of Wisconsin cheese curd with Mariana dipping sauce, and that was delicious. The frozen custard flavor of the day was Rocky Road, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that it came with pecans instead of peanuts. Yummy! :) read more

Been there 3 times and every time the order is wrong. Never again. Plus it's way too expensive for wrong food

Had a taste for a sweet treat on a nice spring day. If you could give negative stars I would. Waited almost 20 minutes for an ice cream drink. Overall atmosphere of the place confirms its overall low rating. Average good, joined with poor service, lost me as a customer! Beware all ye who enter! read more

While my first visit resulted in a less than noteworthy experience of a bland burger and shake not quite up to that of Steak & Shake, todays second visit gave me data worth mentioning. The "Pot Roast Sandwich" had a unique flavor, tasting more like pulled pork than beef. I struggled to taste any semblance of beef. Or of pot roast. The onion rings were admirably manufactured, and if you've ever tried making them at home it's a marvel they keep the breading on so uniformly. Unfortunately, I would have liked more flavor. Since the visit several runs due to, shall we say, repetitive relief thru the hind quarters, if you know what I mean, may be somehow related. I don't know, it could just be a coincidence. But I think I've had enough of that chain for the rest of my life. read more

This location is terrible. The staff acts like the diners are an inconvenience. They certainly don't know their job. We made a request for an extra piece of chicken, something that has been done without problem at many other locations. This one in Merriville couldn't complete the request and forced us to order and PAY for a larger meal. Even the manager couldn't figure it out. Oh and they are exceedingly slow. Waiting for the order as I type this. Let's hope they can count. read more

Too many businesses today have to hire worthless employees. Culver's is no different. The staff is rather meh... used my card to pay for 4 pints of Chocolate and the cashier never provided me my receipt. Never offered. While watching the person fill my pints, I watched as they left them filled with approximately a half inch below the top, when the correct procedure for Culver's is to fill the pint to the top, even a little higher than the top so that it is against the top of the inside of the lid. This is not the first time. The last 3 times I have purchased their pints of Chocolate I have not been given the Veteran's discount even though I have stated that I am a Veteran, or the pint has been shorted, or both. When I asked to have the 4 pints double bagged, There was a rather rude remark made that I could not hear clearly, so I simply said don't bother. Really? It is offensive to ask for double bagging so that the heavy product doesn't rip the bad? If you are THAT easily offended, then quit your job and stay home! The pints of Chocolate frozen custard are the only reason I go to Culver's, so I will not be returning to the Merrillville, Indiana store again. I guess I have to go to Clown Point to the Culver's on Summit and Broadway, which is a bit out of my way. Sorry, but I expect the staff to do their job. I do my job at work properly, there is no reason others can not do their jobs properly. Just to be clear, I am not from San Franciso... No idea where they got that from because I am from and in Lake County, Indiana. read more

I went through the drive-through to order one scoop of chocolate ice cream with brownie pieces and Heath. The person taking my order, told me to repeat myself multiple times before just telling me to go to the next window. She had a slightly rude tone in that moment, but I thought nothing of it. When I got to the window, she asked me what I ordered and for the fifth time, I repeated my order. after paying, I pulled forward and eventually received my ice cream. It wasn't till I got back onto the main road that I realized that my ice cream was completely wrong. It was just one scoop of plain chocolate. I turned around and went back just so I could add the toppings. I chose to go inside, so they would be able to hear me better. When I got up to the register. The person who was at the register was the crew chief ( based on her nametag). I told her that I had asked for brownie pieces, and Heath, and she initially told me that I would have to put them in myself. I went to hand it back to her, and it was at that moment that she offered to remake it. The girl who took my order, was standing there, and having an attitude the whole time I was talking to the manager. She was cracking jokes, and making fun of me along with the other employee nearby. The manager had to beg them to eventually make the ice cream. after I finally got my ice cream, and was walking towards the doors, they thought I could no longer hear them, and they started making fun of me Even louder, as if I could not hear them. She just started laughing at me again. Not a good experience, and I will never go back there. read more

Chain Crap with a capital C! On a street with nothing but chain restaurant after chain restaurant, Route 30 in Merrillville offers very little out of the ordinary. On my first and last visit to Culver's the two of us spent just over $26 to eat mediocre, standard and unexceptional fare of limited proportions off of black plastic plates. How classy is that? LOL You have to order your own food and they bring it to you, this generic example of American fast food I can do without. Culver's is nothing special to me as I felt I spent a lot of money on average fare in a restaurant with zero ambiance or character. No thanks read more

Culvers gives you Americana at its best: - greasy food - excellent fries - frozen custard (icecream on crack!) This culvers does this just as well as any other, I love the food so they get good stars for that but typically the service is what you get for having highschoolers. 10 people standing around while the guy who took your order does all the work slowly... I guess I dont understand their business model... Overall, we go here for the custard! read more

Culver's - Burgers Near Me - Merrillville, Indiana

July 20th,2022 My daughter and I stopped in for lunch. We waited for our food for approximately 45 minutes. When the food arrived I was very disappointed to see that my Burger was completely burned. I ordered the basket but they only brought the burned Burger. When I asked about my fries the girl that delivered the food said she would be right back with them. I saw the same girl delivering to different tables. After approximately 10 minutes I went to the counter and had to stand in A-line of people that were returning their food. By the time I got back to my table with my fries my Burger was then cold. Also the temperature inside the restaurant felt like it was subzero. A traveling softball team was also dining at the same time. Most of them went to their vehicles to retrieve blankets and jackets. One of the children came back in and a snuggy. An elderly couple which was also dining the wife went outside to eat her lunch. They never lowered the temperature of the restaurant. It was the most miserable experience I've ever had inside of Culver's restaurant. I will never return to Merrillville Culver's. It was horrific!! read more
