I never though I could fall in love with a fast food restaurant until I came here! The staff is just super dedicated and you can literally taste it in the food. Every burger is cooked just to perfection, and they always give free refills which is a nice perk. The tables are also totally clean, and even the bathrooms are well maintained. Culver's has completely replaced Mc. D's as my go to lunch spot read more

so let me start off by saying i love culvers, but, this culvers compares to a dirty arby's if it was hit by a meteor. I waited for my food for 20 minutes after all my friends got their food and i looked like the weird kid sitting alone at lunch. i went up to ask where my food was and they pulled that shit straight from the burner. my bun looked like it was sitting in the ocean for an hour. then i went to get my ice cream and the worker moping dropped the mop not once but twice on my foot. genuinely how do you do that. once we all got our mixers it looked and tasted like it's been left out in the rain with how watery and soggy our toppings were. also after we left and all of our stomachs started to hurt and ache. Feels like my stomach is full of toxic acid. fucking terrible never come here! read more

No complaints about this Culver's! We ordered ahead and enjoyed our food in the restaurant while on a roadtrip. The interior dining area and the bathroom were satisfactory. Our chicken-tenders-and-fries kid's meals were tasty (and large enough to be filling as a grown adult!). The only knock I had was that I ordered the flavor of the day as the base of my custard and instead was given vanilla, but I was indifferent to the switch and still enjoyed how much cookie dough topping they gave. I was surprised to see this Culver's didn't have a higher overall Yelp score. read more

Stopped in while on my way to see family for the holidays. Culver's is usually one of the "go to" stops and this location didn't disappoint. The food was on point, the service was very good and the restaurant was clean. Pretty much what you'd expect from a Culver's. Will stop back again if I'm in the area read more

You will literally rot in line and your order will be wrong. The food used to be decent but the employees really don't care.

The staff is friendly, but the overall experience leaves a lot to be desired. Food takes a long time to come out, drive-thru orders often lack basics like napkins, and the line is usually the longest compared to nearby spots. The atmosphere can be chaotic, especially with large, noisy groups, making it tough to enjoy your meal. read more

I was sitting in the drive through at 1030 pm and low and behold the back door was open like it always is and you can see nice running in and out of the building . Made me instantly pull away and go somewhere else . Was in there the day before and let me tell you the people that work there are not happy with the management, I over heard a couple employees talking about how the manager barely gives breaks and it's only 15 minutes ... I don't blame them I wouldn't want to work there either, when I asked to speak to a manager I got a really rude assistant manager saying the other manager wasn't available. This place is such garbage read more

Waited in the drive through for one order of the chicken tenders for 35 mins. They're not busy at all. This is ridiculous

Wanted to overcharge me on $1 donation for one scoop day. Cashier said that vanilla custard wasn't eligible for promotion. Told me she'd worked there for three years and it's always only been the scoop of the day. I had to pull up the promotion on the website to show her that Culver's advertised scoop of the day, vanilla, or chocolate As eligible for the promotion. She said that's not what her manager told her. What's going on? Manager doesn't know about the promotion specifics? Trying not to let customer get a scoop for $1? I've had problems with pricing at this location before. Keep your eyes open. read more

Didn't even go here. A third of our group did and the other 2/3 went to Panda Express. Majority of our group finished the meal before anyone at Culver's got their meals. Panda was also busy so that is not an excuse. When the culver group got their food some of it was missing. A 15 minute trip turned into a 60 minute trip because of the poor service. Go to Panda Express instead. read more

This is an excellent Culver's location. They are prompt, friendly, and have a clean restaurant. They even offer pup cups of vanilla custard with peanut butter if they notice your dog in the car! I like their veggie cheeseburger and my husband prefers chicken tenders. Cheese curds are a must! read more

Don't even bother, staff might seem nice and all but the food takes forever to make, they don't give you any napkins in the drive through, and their lines are always the longest out of any other place around. Ambiance is chaotic and painful with lots of young sports teams ruining your meal with lots of screaming and crying. read more

S L O W .... Four people standing around staring at customers. No one prepping food. Then the cashier took the food order , simple ice cream, we waited for 3 items, then 5 minutes of waiting she says " Now I" ll prep the food... " We felt so grateful. Are you kidding . where's the management ? Then I read Yelp , 5 years ago said S L O W S E R V I C E ..... should have known.. Dairy Queen open up close by and you'll get all the business. read more

Read the reviews...this place does not know how to run a restaurant...if the food wasn't good it would be an empty building...after trying to order 2X thru both drive thru's went inside and watched as the crazzy crew mixed up, screwed up and didn't know what they were doing....YES!!! NO MANAGEMENT...get your sht together!!! Won't go back!!! read more

The food here is always very high-quality,and there is great variety,especially with the frozen custard! The biggest problem is that too often there are mistakes with the orders,or things forgotten. They may need to invest in better drive-through speakers;usually order accuracy is better when you order inside. The prices are a touch high too,but the variety and food quality make it worthwhile. read more

Food good. Worst service I've ever had at a Culver's. Was not greeted or thanked by the cashier. Very noticeable. Food dropped at table without a word. Very very in Culver like. I did receive a phone call while I was still in the restaurant after filling out the on line survey. read more

Culver's - Fast Food Near Me - South Bend, Indiana

The last few times, over the course of a few months, I've visited this Culver's only to receive cold food. Burgers so cold the cheese doesn't melt and the fries are limp and cold. I decided to come in and see if it would help at all and again, cold burger, cold fries. Food costs are getting to be too much to throw most of the meal away. Won't be returning to this location anymore. read more

Don't go there 40 minutes BEFORE closing; because they will be "closed" Ironic the business hours were just confirmed by them 3 weeks ago too. read more

I ordered the double mushroom and swiss basket, which is my typical go-to for a quick lunch. The sandwich was extremely sloppy and the cheese looked as though it had been sitting in the sun all afternoon. When I took my first bite, I was even more disappointed. The top bun was very tough to get my teeth through. The whole burger was lukewarm at best. I can't help but thinking back to reading the sign in the drive through that said they make everything to order so it's hot, fresh and worth the wait. This is the first time that I can recall being disappointed in Culver's food. I definitely won't be going back to this location. On the bright side, the fries were fresh and hot. read more

Culver's - Double mushroom and swiss - Fast Food Near Me - South Bend, Indiana

It's time this Culver's gets the love it deserves. For the last year during the pandemic we have not eaten inside a restaurant and have been very picky about where to get take out. There aren't a lot of options on the south side of South Bend. So we have gotten Culver's probably 20 times in a year. And every single time they have been super friendly, super efficient and the food always high quality. Anyone who complains about a slow drive thru needs to read the sign in the drive thru that says we make your food AFTER you order it so it is fresh and WORTH the wait. If there are 5 or more cars in line, yes, you're going to wait. And it's worth it. Are they pricey? Yup. If you are shocked the first time, and still go back, don't complain! I think this Culver's compares to chick fil a in customer service as well as quality of food. read more

Not for the uninitiated. Confusing and slow drivethrough. Someone switched our diet Pepsi with the regular Pepsi (that could be dangerous). The person at the window told us to pull to the front of the building at the farthest spot. Needless to say, those instructions were totally misleading. We didn't get our food for a while. Just a disappointing experience in general. Their concrete mixer was good though. read more

This is a pretty bad Culver's. We were on our way out of town and needed to stop for food so why not tried and true Culver's. We waited an eternity for our order (yes, I know Culver's is made to order, but this was pre-lunch rush and seemingly nobody there). Upon hitting the road was where it got worse. We were missing 2 items, had an extra item on our receipt we didn't order, and had 2 of the 5 items made incorrectly. If we are in town again, we will steer clear of this Culver's. read more

Love their chicken fingers and onion rings. This location handled mass traffic after the Winter Classic 2019 NHL game well. Being located fairly close to Notre Dame stadium, handling post game masses of people is a must. They did a pretty good job. I also had a Pepsi float with their vanilla custard and it was so good! I highly recommend you try anything with their custard. In the summer, they generally have a lemon ice that is slightly sweet and tart. It is creamy in texture but dairy free! We like Culver's as a treat once in awhile, but not too often because of the fried options (they are hard to pass up) and the Butter Burgers (which are also yummy. I love the bacon and blue cheese Butter Burger. read more

Used to love it until I got a disgusting salad. I called then to let them know and they said they would send me some coupons for a free one. I'm ok with that. I figure everyone gets a free pass now and again. it's been a month now and still haven't heard from them. Really disappointing. I was a weekly regular too. read more

First time ever to a Culvers. I tried to make it easy, and ordered a double burger with cheese & bacon. Apparently, I didn't say the magic word, Butterburger. The burgers we got were mediocre and overpriced. $18 for two burgers, two drinks and one fries and one onion rings. The fries & rings were standard lame frozen crap. The decor and environment were very nice. Trendy & classy. The staff was very pleasant. Not sure if we'll ever go back though. read more

They are fast and I have never had any issues with order mix ups. Additionally, the staff here are patient! Can't go wrong with the classic vanilla custard, fries and a burger. The milkshakes tend to melt quickly. I'm not sure if that's due to the consistency of custard vs. ice cream. Not their fault I'm sure. read more

This is by far the worst service I have ever had! These people cannot get an order correct if their lives depended on it!

the burger was burnt on the edge&very dry .i believe they pressed down on it &forced all the juice out. their quality has went down the last two years. the help need training before they are put on order taking read more

Had a really good experience at Culver's tonight. I left a bad review once before over soupy banana splits. That didn't happen this time. The banana split was cold, and the butterburger basket was hot. Service was fast and friendly. We didn't even have to pull forward! Keep it up! read more

Food has gone downhill. Served cold the last two times here. Counter help was friendly and fast.

When I absolutely must eat fast food, I go to Culver's, usually when I am traveling. The burgers are really delicious, the pot roast sandwich is surprisingly good, and the salads are passable. I enjoy the frozen custard as well. Nobody should eat too much of this kind of thing, but I would be lying if I didn't admit to liking the food here. read more

Great quick stop for post game service was fast. Food was much better quality than McDonald. Table was dirty, but we managed to clean off the table with napkins. It was after a Notre Dame game, so they appeared prepared and attempted to be in top of things. The manager checked in on us and was ready to help customers. I have heard their ice cream is good. I will have to try it next time! read more

slowest drive thru I have ever been in, in my entire life. took 45 minutes to get two kids meals, the cars behind us all got their food before. read more

We live very close to the Wisconsin border so we're very familiar with good Culver's food & service, that's not what you'll get here. The restaurant was dirty (tables & floors) and you couldn't help but notice the foul stench when you walked in. Later I realized that both the Men's & Women's bathrooms had toilets that wouldn't flush, but weren't marked out of order. I asked them to remake my sandwich because it was covered in old burnt grill debris. Fries were cold and service was subpar. Not a Culver's worth revisiting. read more

Slow as hell. Plus they don't have a full menu at the drive thru. I don't get that. Just because I can't eat it driving doesn't mean I'm not going to take it home and eat it. Shouldn't have to wait 10 minutes at any drive thru. read more

Stopped in for a double butter burger w cheese and a rootbeer. For a fast food burger it was incredibly good, service was astonishingly quick. I spent more time parking than I did waiting on my food to be prepared. Place was clean as well. Decent alternative for lunch If youre looking for a sandwich. read more

Better than mcds, bk, or steak n shake, but still a chain food joint. Burgers are decent, but somehow the fries always seem cold here. I guess I expect hot fries with cold custard. Fast food isn't my first choice for a meal, but this place is ok. A little more expensive than most though. read more

Soupy custard. I took the family here the other night. We all ordered custard. It was runny and not even frozen.

Worst Culver's to go to. Was on this side of town and my son wanted a root beer float. So why not go to Culver's. They were rude, try to rip me off, and didn't care about making anything right. They have the worst customer service. The shift lead Maddie is no help. She didn't care to make the situation correct or even try to keep my business. From now on my family will go to Mishawaka or Elkhart. What should we expect from South Bend though. read more

We have visited Culver's many times, love the ice-cream. This afternoon at 4pm we stop to pick up ice-cream after hiking at St Patrick's Park. My husband and I ordered, we were giving number 39 we took a seat. Our friends stopped in the restroom first, after a few minutes they ordered and sat down with us. 10 minutes my later my friends husband went up to check on our order, someone came to our table and asked us what we ordered and said they would be right back. About 4:25 pm someone brought our friends ice-cream, so we thought ours was coming next, it never came, at 4:30 my husband went up a 2nd time to ask about our order, they they said they would start them, about 10 minutes later, a young man brought our ice-cream, set them down forcibly on the table, and said, it was NOT MY FAULT your order was missed. My husbands concert mixer had a mound of ice-cream piled on top of the lid, the cookie dough was not thrown on top, it was not mixed into his mixer. It was a very disappointing experience. We will not be going back any time soon. read more
