    Interior
    Christopher B.

    Located off of University Pkwy on the way to the Bradenton/Sarasota airport, this Culver's gets 5 stars for cleanliness, taste, & good customer service. The interior is very well designed and cleaned routinely by one of the staff members. It is expected of the customer to dispose of their trash in the designated trash bins yet there is still someone that comes to routinely sweep and make sure the tables are in order. The same person is also responsible for stocking the condiment section next to the fountain machine, which gives the restaurant an overall model look of organization. The food is average for Culver's standards so everything tasted excellent and fresh. The peanut butter shake was correctly measured ingredient-wise with a hefty portion of peanut butter which rocked. The girl at the counter was nice and bilingual which was helpfully for some of the customers that only spoke one language. This was a great stop before a flight out of state and I appreciate how clean & of how well the store was taken care. I would recommend for anyone wanting to save a little change before a trip to the airport.

    First time at Culver's and we loved it! The service was friendly and welcoming, and the place was very clean. The burgers were fresh and flavorful, and the fries were perfectly crispy. Don't miss the custard ice cream! It was absolutely delicious. With lots of menu choices, this is definitely a go-to spot for the whole family!

    Butterburger and pretzel bites
    Andrew A.

    Was heading somewhere else for burgers, when I saw a billboard for this place and it looked good, so I changed course. I regretted my decision later. I ordered a butterburger value basket, and added the "thick bacon" they had advertised all over the restaurant. I'm not sure how my order came up to $16, and the person working had a hard time explaining it to me. This was the price of a gourmet burger at mid-tier restaurants, so I rolled with it thinking it might be amazing. It was not. The burger patties were super thin, small, and unseasoned. I couldn't taste any butter on the buns. They added a good amount of bacon, but it was certainly not "thick." The burger was not worth what I paid. The pretzel bites it came with were pretty good. The nacho sauce they came with was nothing special. The kids meal my daughter got was just a prepackaged applesauce with a boxed juice, and bland over cooked tiny chicken fingers. The only redeeming facet of this joint was the ice cream. It was real ice cream, and delicious.

    One of my favorite places for a burger in Sarasota. The fries are average however, the burger has a great flavor. I always order the double butter burger.

This place…read morehits all the marks -- great food, great drinks, and, most importantly, genuinely great service. The menu has a ton of variety. I had the birria tacos on my recent visit. Previously had the brisket, fish and steak tacos. They were big, so three was too much food. Everything was fresh, flavorful and came out exactly as it should and fast. The tacos were excellent, and the chips and queso are definitely worth adding to the table. The drinks are every bit as good as the food. Fuzzy's knows how to make a margarita, and a cold FuzzyRita with tacos is a pretty hard combination to beat. What really made the visit stand out, though, was the service. Everyone was friendly, attentive and genuinely seemed interested in making sure my group of friends were having a good time. That makes a huge difference and turns a casual taco stop into someplace you actually want to come back to. The University Parkway location is convenient, the atmosphere is relaxed and fun, and the patio is a great addition when the weather cools a bit. Excellent food, strong drinks, reasonable prices and outstanding service. We will absolutely be back.

The chicken was alright at first but then I could tell soon enough that it was pretty salty. I didn't care for the additional sauce options. I chose a white balsamic vinaigrette and a garlic aioli which is so much garlic. Customer service was fine they answered all my questions on what everything was. There's no labels or signs that say what the item is. Unless u follow the menu word for word which is not possible when u have to decide faster.

Everything from having a gloves directly touching my food (thumbs in my food specifically) to rude and unsimpathetic management, to incorrect charges on my bill. The food is good. Best Mac and cheese ever. Unfortunately energy needs to shift. I'd start with a fresh manager and team and have an owner overseeing this facility more closely. It doesn't live up to the original location in Tampa. Update 6/3/26: came in to give another try. 3 fingers with gloves in my food as I was being served. I told the gentleman and he said "we have gloves on" as he was touching his screen for the order snd counter with the same gloves . Gloves mean nothing. I chose to leave and not eat here. Such a disappointment that they are so careless with cleanliness even after the issue has been ongoing and they have been made aware of it. Also if a customer is not happy with gloves I'm the food, you probably should just offer to replace the bowl and make it right but the employees don't care. *Owners take note* unfortunately your management doesn't care and you won't be aware of this ongoing issue.
