We don't have Culver's where I live so whenever I visit my daughter in Lakewood Ranch, it's a must stop for lunch! Love their pork tenderloin sandwich and cheese curds! Drive thru service is always on point and my sandwich is freshly made! I'll be back next time! read more

Did someone say Milkshake! I discovered Culver's for the when they opened near me years ago, I heard about the burgers, never knew the Shakes and ice cream was so good! I ordered the "Flavor of the day" Vanilla base with Custard and skittles....YUM! Service was good, had ago pull up and wait for about 5mine but not a big deal. read more

Delicious fried fish filets, and I don't usually care for any fish ‼ Employees take good care of you!! Yum, Yum, Yummy read more

Management is not doing their job here. It's like ran by teenagers doing the bare minimum to get by. This is my first time complaining but each time something is wrong with our orders. Today I ordered the flavor of the day. It barely had any ice cream in there, less than 1/2 full, sloppiness and already soupy & melting! MANAGEMENT WAKE UP! There are too many similar complaints for you not to pay close attention to service and quality. read more

Worst service I've ever gotten from a restaurant. Gave me the wrong order of just one single item 3 times. July 19, at around 9 PM, I asked for a double scoop cake cone and I got it in a cup instead. When I asked one of the employees to correct it properly, they expressed annoyance and then just gave me a separate empty cone. (I guess they expected me to put the ice cream onto the cone myself??) Then I told the manager that I wanted a new Ice cream that was on the cone. But instead I got an ice cream cone that was melting and falling over and was scooped from the cup instead of a new Ice scream like I asked. So the manager screwed up my order twice. Not to mention that the taste of the ice cream was not good. read more

THE FOOD, SERVICE, & AMBIENCE all get 5 stars from us! Both the burgers and ice cream are great! The ice cream is the best in SW Florida, Bar None!! If it gets full, it will be noisy! The sound bounces off the walls but such is life!! Go for the great burgers and ice cream!! You will not be disappointed!! LOVE THIS PLACE!! read more

Burgers are fresh and hot ! Also like there chili supreme, they usually get the order right the first time

The visit started when I walked through the door and a lady working there who at the time was cleaning the door window would not move out of the way. She did the same later when I was walking to my table to get seated. Then, she brought the food, and it came lukewarm. The employees are either overworked or have social anxiety because I said hi to a lady working there but she did not say anything back. Wasn't my best experience but the place itself was pretty clean. read more

If you're getting takeout from this location,CHECK YOUR ORDER THOROUGHLY!! Two out of the last three times I've gotten takeout from this place they have screwed up my order....short on items (1/2 of the chicken tenders) and the wrong food (buffalo tenders instead of plain). read more

Service from this young lady is beyond appalling I have never been so disappointed and disrespected in my life. I have never had an issue before at this location, it's always been amazingly clean and service was excellent, but since Virginia started I don't think I could ever go back. I wish someone would post her hours so I know when to avoid. read more

Ordered a chocolate mixer, it was made with vanilla. They supposedly remade it but topped it off with chocolate. These kids cause a good place to have bad reviews. I walked in, told the young lady behind the counter the issue, showed her the mixer, she just stared at me... I told her to keep it and walked out. I will never go back to this Culver's again, would rather go to DQ and I hate DQ. read more

My brother & I had to kill 2 hrs time so I recommended Culver's for ice cream. I have never been yet their TV commercials always look good. We both got the blend-in Ice creams. They were soooo good. Nothing like candy car & Oreos blended in with ice cream to cheer us both up. This location was very clean. It is spaced well so your not close by others. We sat outside and the large awning were large enough that we did not get cause in the brief Florida down pour. I hope to come back to try the food on the menu. It looked pretty good for fast food chain. read more

Poor quality, poor service, and phenomenally unhealthy processed junk. If I'm going to compromise my heart, I'll do it for food that's worth it. read more

Waited 20 minutes to get my food... The drink they handed me was spilt all over the top and on the sticker u put on ur car in the drive thru. after waiting a long time to get my food the bag she handed me had my chocolate icecream all over it. Also cant forget to mention my "concrete mixer" was watery as frick. I don't even want to open up the bag and see what's inside at this point. So down bad and going to Burger King. read more

My first time at Culvers, but it won't be my last. I enjoyed the food and service greatly. The staff was extremely helpful and didn't rush us to order, and made us feel welcome. We ordered the fish and chips and roast beef sandwich. The establishment was very clean, something you don't always find at fast food restaurants. Food was delivered promptly and we both noted the fish was steaming hot , which is good for fried fish. A good experience for all. read more

A very good lunch I had a double patty Cheddar ButterBurger with Bacon sandwich for lunch today and found it to be very good. Using the name ButterBurger really gets my mind in a good place. Interestingly, my burger really had two parts. The first several bites were of a cheesy greasy kind of burger with both the cheese and bacon noticeable. I then hit mustard and ketchup, which were not well distributed, and the burger changed to something akin to Wendy's. At least I thought it was interesting. Anyway, the burger was great, both parts, and so was my side of those signature cheese curds. If you think the bag of curds looks a little lacking in my photo, I was so looking forward to those that I had already sampled some before realizing I still needed a photo. It was very nice of Culver's to bring cheese curds to our part of the world. The restaurant was not overly busy, so I didn't experience any delays. My experience was a smooth one, friendly and problem free, the food delivered to my table in good time. The restaurant was clean. The one thing I didn't like too much was the price, which was a bit north of ten bucks for the burger, cheese curds, and a small drink. read more

Culver's - Double Cheddar ButterBurger with Bacon - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Bradenton, Florida

I have to admit that my visit the other day was pretty disappointing! I specifically stopped in because the electronic sign on Rt. 70 said that it was under "New Management". All of my previous visits were great! Food was cooked perfectly, always very clean and on numerous occasions had the opportunity to meet the owners. Of course when Covid hit, things changed but they still managed to maintain the standards that kept them as a better operation because of their food quality, service and cleanliness that other Quick Service restaurants like Burger King or McD's. So because they advertised that they had new management, I was curious to see how much better they could make the place from where it was. We'll, I could tell you that I was sooooo disappointed! I went in the other night about 7/8pm and was greeted by overflowing trash from the garbage cans, dirty tables and floors. I was there so I ordered my food anyway. The new management or owners DID maintain the food quality but the true new 'management' responsibility of maintaining a clean restaurant, they failed in. Having managed restaurants for almost 30 years, I am a bit more picky and detailed about my observations and can tell you that the "New Management" here obviously does not have the restaurant operating standards that the last management/owners had. Maybe it was a 'one-off' but if you take over an existing restaurant and publicly advertise and bragging that your the "New Sheriff" in town, then you damn well have to run it PERFECTLY, or don't brag that you're NOW in charge. Seriously, if I wanted to eat in a dirty restaurant, I'd go to Burger King!! read more

They do what you would want a Culver's to do, and they do it well! My wife and I live nearby and come here often. Have probably been to this location at least 40 or 50 times over the past few years or so! Great service and food is done great. Dining room is kept pretty clean. I haven't had one complaint. A bit pricey, but a single franchise can't change the price of a chain, so I understand. For what they are aiming to be, I gotta say they hit the target. read more

Culver's - (Left) Veggie Burger and Fries, (Right) Cod Fillet Sandwich and Fries - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Bradenton, Florida

Don't stop if you're in a hurry. It took over 30 minutes to get a burger from the drive thru!

This was a new location for me, and I had recently been at the Riverview location, so could easily make a comparison. Although their burgers are good, I thought I would try a crispy chicken sandwich. We were the only people in line on a Sunday afternoon, so our order was taken quickly. We both ordered the chicken sandwich with different toppings and fries. We waited 15 minutes for our order and there was nobody else around. They did come out nice and hot, which I love, so they must have just cooked them. Sadly, the toppings weren't correct on one of them, and the sandwich is dry. It needs to have some kind of sauce on it. The French fries are just frozen crinkle fries, so nothing special. read more

The burgers are incredible! The treats are delicious. The staff seem very professional. Great burger!

Grease on grease on grease... did I mention grease? Maybe the desserts are good but the food stinks.

Culver's man, is there anything better? Fast food wise, I don't think so. What I love unconditionally about Culver's is their customer service. I have yet to meet an employee who isn't smiling, isn't friendly or who isn't busting their butt during their schedule. What I also love are those Wisconsin cheese curds. Goodness are they good. I always dip them in some ranch for a little extra, extra taste. I get the double burger that comes on their delicious butter bread aka crack bread. It comes with lettuce, tomato and mayo. Oh man, the crinkle fries. Nice and crispy just the way o like them. I will drive for hours to get some Culver's. It's totally worth every mile and calorie in inje read more

Culver's - This is what heaven is. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Bradenton, Florida

I go to this location a few times a month after work. Twice I've had to go back because they forgot something, and tonight got a culvers double and it tasted like they dumped a whole salt shaker on it. Completely inedible. I know I arrived near close, which I understand is frustrating but my burger was inedible :( read more

This was my first experience at a Culver's. This location is really cool-looking. I love the blue neon lights and colorful shrubbery trim at the entrance. The service was amazing from the jump; the staff answered all my questions about the ice cream. I also like the seating which was mix of booths and high tops for the most part. Seems like an upscale fast food place that you would actually want to stay and eat in. I ended up getting a 1 scoop vanilla with whipped cream and Oreo chunks. The ice cream tastes very milky and natural. Almost like homemade but with only a slight hint of vanilla flavoring. This soft-serve texture is my favorite. Not my favorite ice cream of all time (I prefer Cold Stone) but this will definitely hit the spot when you have a hankering for something cold and sweet. read more

For it's class, a good deal, and nobody rushes you out of there to turn a table. They are understaffed though, just like everywhere else.

I had a bad experience at this restaurant at lunch and contacted the manager. He responded with the normal I'm sorry about your experience and offered to make it right. Good afternoon, Thank you for the feedback on your experience today, I am truly sorry for the quality of your spicy chicken sandwich. All our employees are trained to quality check before serving the food to ensure instances like this don't happen. I would like to make this right for you by offering some free value basket coupons for the next time you come by! Once again, I am truly sorry for the mistake and the lack of quality, we assure you this is not our standard and we look to improve for the future! Thank you. Joseph Doman General Manager Culvers of Bradenton Ranch Lake 856-361-3291 This was on August 14, 2022. I provided my information so that he could mail the coupons and followed up twice. Crickets, I never received the coupons as promised and did not get any responses. Horrible customer service. read more

Anthony was very friendly during our drive through experience. It was very busy, but he was patient and knowledgeable about the menu. The food was delicious! read more

This is the Culver's that made us not want to go to Culver's anymore. We went here after a soccer tournament with the family and friend. The last time we went to a Culver's (not this location) we had less than ideal food. So we were hoping things would be better. So there was a bit of a wait for ordering, and the shorter line was the slowest. great. So the girl was new, and was trying to take our order. with masks, I felt for her as its hard to get everything right. The owner, I think his name was Tom (his badge said owner) came over, and basically told her what to do. She was getting confused from what I was saying, and what he was telling her to do. He told her to tell us that she was new and in training. Sorry, but you don't say that. I've worked in this industry and you don't give that excuse. So anyways, she ended up getting a panic attack once our order was done and had to sit down. When we placed the order, he asked if everything was right on the display. I stated I couldn't see the entire order on the display, just two items. So after a moment of him fumbling, the price listed changed. So I paid. After a bit, the food came. The order was messed up. One burger had no condiments. My wife ordered cheese and the cheese was just a cold piece of cheese thrown on hanging off. My burger? never came. Remember that line about the price changing? Seems my food was removed. I talked to the server and she said sorry. She asked if I wanted to order something else, but since we waited 10 minutes already, I don't think I should have had to wait more for their mistake. SO I told her no, I didn't want anything. At this point, I was expecting a visit soon from the owner, who had come to check on the employee sitting next to us. But no. No visit, no other acknowledgement. Disappointing. The last time we ate at a Culver's, I had ordered sautéed onions and swiss cheese and the cheese was cold and hard and the onions weren't sautéed. We should have gone to CFA instead. Sorry Culver's, you've lost our business. read more

Great food, fast service. Fish sandwich is delicious. They also have a new concrete mixer, salted caramel pumpkin. Absolutely delicious!

Burgers are very good. Ordered the double Swiss & Mushrooms and added bacon, lettuce & tomatoes. Very pleased. Mother-in-law tried the fish and was disappointed (You don't go to Red Lobster and order a steak. You do t go to Longhorns and order fish). read more

Everything here is terrific. There is nothing here I wouldn't order. The service is always terrific and the place is spotless. Their custard is also very good. I am a big fan! Bottom Line: It's a terrific place to go and have some tasty fast food. Highly recommend read more

STAY AWAY! At least 30 ppl in line, drive thru 17 cars deep. Many staff, but no one knows what they are doing. Waited 22 minutes for a milkshake. Lesson learned, will stick with dairy queen from now on. Stay away! read more

We love Culver's today not one of the better experiences. Both of the burgers were burned to a crisp. They were very nice and redid them. However even though we were the only person in the dining room the manager never even stopped by to say anything read more

I have enjoyed eating at different Culver"s from time to time. This is what I'd call "high end" burgers and they do a great job. This visit they were busy and they have a complex menu board. I ordered a combo burger and my partner did the same thing. I didn't know I needed to state that I wanted lettuce tomato and onions and my burger arrived at the table naked (meat, cheese and bun). I wish the young lady that took our order would have asked us because the menu board shows a picture of it fully loaded. The restaurant was clean and pleasant. read more

The service is horrible on a gigantic level!! The people working behind the counter act like they are doing you a favor to wait on you. Lots of playing with their hair and blank looks. Don't expect your order to be correct or on time. read more

Great stop. Fast service and the burger was delicious. Whatever you do, don't pass up the custard. It's so rich and delicious! I got the smores one last time and I ripped through that thing. Double butter burger with cheddar and thousand island is my go-to burger! read more

Great location. Clean, fast service. Cheese curd upgrade for the value baskets is worth it! The fries are also really good. Culver's is a small upgrade to typical fast food. Only compliant - they put WAY too much sauce on their burgers. Tip: specify SMALL drizzle of mayo, ketchup, mustard .... you can always add more! Pepsi products ... no Coca Cola for those of you coke lovers (like me!!) Look for coupons in your mail! Convenient location off of highway 76 read more

We love Culver's, but this was terrible. We waited about 40 minutes for our food and when I asked if there was a problem the young man said, "we're just slow tonight". He said he only had 2 people "back there". The food wasn't particularly hot when we got it, but it wasn't bad. It's not a Culver's we will come back to. read more

This wasn't the smoothest visit to Culvers by any means. I stopped in here on the way to a seminar while in the Lakewood Ranch area hoping to get in and out for a quick lunch. I walked into a line that was roughly 12-15 people deep and only two cashiers were taking orders. It took way too long to get through the line and when I went to place my order for one of their $5 value meals my total somehow came out to $7 and change. I told the cashier about the price on the menu and she said that the total was the way it was because I ordered fries and drink. It's a value meal. It is supposed to come with fries and a drink and even says so on the menu. I clearly didn't get through to her and ended up paying more than I should have just so I could get the hell out of there. The food tasted good, but it was chaos just to order it and receive it. It seems that this entire area is brand new so Culvers will do just fine for now, but when other fast food places pop up Culvers needs to speed the process up and actually honor their deals. read more
