The loaded fry options are crazy good! I would come back just for those. Heads up-- they charge for extra sauces of any kind (most places do nowadays). And all menu items are à la carte.

Yuuum! The food here is excellent. The menu is huge and has tons of options. I know it's a burger…read moreplace, but none of us got burgers. The Italian beef, the gyro, and the chicken tenders were fantastic. The crinkle cut fries were also delish. The kids nuggets were less than great. However the kids meals come with "treasure" aka temporary tattoos, a paper hat to color, and a gummy candy. The kids meals also come in cute pirate themed boxes. The drinks are in a refrigerator by the register- there aren't fountain drinks. They have cans of soda and glass bottles of Fitz's. The place is very tiny. 5 booths inside and 2 tables outside. The air conditioning is also not up to par. Food is great and would come here again!

They told us it be about a 30 min wait. We only waited about 10 min before we were seated because a reservation didn't show up. Josie was our server she was so friendly. We ordered an appetizer it was delicious it was a beef cup essentially I'll attach a photo but their menu does change! The house salad was scrumptious. We ordered pork chops and salmon. Everything was so good. They also have brunch. The atmosphere was amazing and calm. Highly recommend

A surprisingly good amount of stuff on the menu including plant based. This place may be a dive, but it's better than it looks. A lot of history in this bar. It's known for the cheap ass happy hours. There's also the cheap ass weekly specials. Be sure to check out the list in the bathroom. It's $2 for whiskey on Wednesdays. Among the many cheap drinks.

Has to be one of the places you go to when visiting this college town to check out the local flavor. It's on Illinois Avenue at Walnut Street. There's lots to get for meat eaters such as burgers, and there's also healthier options, including many things for vegans and vegetarians.

Came looking to have a few drinks. It's a place that certainly has some. They also have good prices for these. Basically there's not really an atmosphere. This feels more like a part of the hotel it seems. It's $2 for domestic beers at happy hour. They have the basics like Miller Lite. Have no idea about the food people talk about. They turned out to not have shit. It's about $1 for potato chips. They must have changed the menu since the last time. Has a pretty good happy hour. It's the best thing about it. This is located on Giant City Road next to the Best Western.

They're seriously addicting and whenever I get the craving for one and have to eat a burger from somewhere else, I immediately wish it was a Freddy's burger. I won't even go into detail on their tasty custards, you just have to try it and see. They're amazing, too. The customer service here is great. In my opinion, this is the best burger joint in southern Illinois.

Seemed to confuse short female cashier. She asked if all the order could go in one bag, I said sure. When order was ready, picked up bag at counter, took to table and fries were thrown in on their side with half of the fries at the bottom of the bag. I didn't tip bag on the way to the table either. On arrival, music playing was loud enough. Once sitting down, someone in the back cranked up the music and was so loud couldn't hardly talk and hear my daughter sitting with me. Went back up and ordered concrete, Tall female cashier never said thank you and walked away. I had to reach over and pull my receipt off printer. When concrete was ready, walked up and part of my dessert was on the outside of the cup. Had to get a napkin and wipe it off to handle it. Poor service and seemed like staff just didn't care. Visit was on 10/1/25 at 8:11 pm.

I must send a special shout-out to Manager De'Ante at the Culver's in Carbondale, IL. I rarely eat…read moreout, but my money goes to Culver's butter burger when I crave fast food. If you have never had one, you are missing a mouth full of YUM! Last night, I went through the drive-thru and ordered my meal with special instructions. When I got home, I realized the order wasn't correct. I ate the fries and ice cream and counted it as a loss. Well, as I was returning from a trip this afternoon, I went by Culver's again. I was still needing that butter-burger itch scratched. Unfortunately, my order was made incorrect again. This time, I saved the burger, and after a brief nap, I drove back to Carbondale, determined to get my burger. As soon as I walked into the door, I was greeted by Manager De'Ante. I explained what had happened and asked for a replacement meal. I didn't want to go another day without that delicious burger. De'Ante repeated my order to ensure it would be done correctly, then told his team to begin the preparation of my meal. I am happy to report that the Culver's team got it right this time! We all have bad days, so I try to grant grace when something goes awry, and I love it when a restaurant is responsive and willing to correct its mistakes. Not only did I get my food hot and fresh, but unlike when I went through the drive-thru, I could see how beautiful the restaurant was inside. I was impressed with the accessibility and cleanliness as well. As you can see from the attached photos, the restaurant and lot are clean, well-lit, and extremely inviting. I recommend you go to Culver's for a delicious meal. When you stop in, tell them Kindra Speech sent you!

When I made it noticed All I received was a voucher for two items replaced and a scoop of ice cream to share, I guess. I have spent money many times at Culver's but will change my habit. I suggest anyone buying food to check it before you pull away! Also, as advised, be aware "you have 17 yr olds making your food and they aren't perfect "
