While I was on a business trip in Wisconsin, I kept seeing commercials for the Culver's restaurant chain. It makes sense too, because this restaurant chain had its first opening in the state of Wisconsin. After checking out their menu online (www.culvers.com) this seemed like a delicious place to eat, so I decided to stop at this particular Culver's (Middleton, Wisconsin) to try this restaurant chain for the very first time. This year, Culver's is celebrating their 40-year anniversary, so they've obviously been around for a long time. Unfortunately, I have never experienced this restaurant chain because there are no Culver's restaurants located in my home state of California. I was happy to try this restaurant for the first time, especially in this restaurant's home state of Wisconsin. For my very first meal at Culver's, I decided to try their Double ButterBurger with cheese, with large crinkle cut French fries and a soda pop (Sprite). I ordered the ButterBurger because it appears to be one of the most popular items on their menu, and most likely the burger that contributed to their incredible success. The ButterBurger that was made for me was delicious and filled with flavor, and they cooked the French fries that came with my burger perfectly as well. This restaurant seems to have "Culver's fanatics," and with good reason. Culver's is one of those few fast-food restaurants that places a priority on quality, and toward this end, they make their burgers with the best cuts of fresh beef, including sirloin, chuck and plate, with no fillers. Their burgers are also pressed and seared so that it locks in the flavor. All this differs from most other fast food restaurants nowadays that make their burgers from frozen beef patties, often with fillers. I could tell the difference in the freshness of my burger at Culver's, and I'm sure that many other customers can as well. Their ButterBurgers also have a uniquely distinct buttery taste, and is wonderfully seasoned by a Culver's grill master. I had an enjoyable experience on my first visit, so I decided to try another item on their menu on a different day while I was in Wisconsin. On my second visit, at this same location, I ordered their fresh cod and cole slaw, along with a side of onion rings. Again, the cod was excellent; it was very fresh and nicely cooked, as were the onion rings. And of course, I couldn't leave without trying some of their famous frozen custard, so I ordered a chocolate concrete mixer. The concrete mixer was incredibly delicious, and it was so rich it took me two days to finish it off! My two visits to this location in the summer of 2024 were both enjoyable, and I look forward to trying more meals at this restaurant chain in the future. read more
