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

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

After days months and years of broken ice cream machines at McDonald's we have since discovered Culver's and never looked back. The ice cream is high-quality delicious and creamy! Flavors of the day are unique and creative, changes daily! If you're not in the mood for the flavor of the day you can create your own concrete mixer. I also love having the option of a mini mixer, a smaller version of the classic. My favorite is the vanilla mini mixer with butterfinger! SO GOOD!!! 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

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

Both times I've been here, they forgot part of my order (drive thru) ‍ I paid for chicken tenders, never got them. The day before, paid for fries and never got them. Better off going to PDQ next time. read more

I ordered a chocolate malt. When I got it, the guy said there were two cups because the first on cracked. Ok no problem. I noticed there wasn't much of a malt taste and as I drank it, I kept getting balls of unmixed malt. At the bottom of the cup there was a hunk of unmixed malt about the size of a quarter. I think they forgot to add the malt until the end, and it didn't get mixed in. Not the best I've ever had from them. read more

What is wrong with this place? I have gotten takeout here approximately twenty times in the past six months and they have only gotten the order right maybe seven or eight times. I have talked to three different assistant managers. The food is good but the people are incompetent. read more

This place has really taken a dive lately regarding quality control. They have always had problems with fulfilling orders correctly, but now the quality has gone down. I just spent over $30.00 on two burger combo meals and some chicken strips, and the way that the burgers arrived reminds me of McDonalds. Burgers were no longer boxed, but were wrapped in paper. No more puffy buns as they were smashed flat. Only a few fries per order. Also, the cokes now come in a plain white styrofoam cups, no more paper cups with Culvers logos. It's almost like they are no longer a franchise. I won't be going back! read more

The ice cream here is good staff is nice and helpful.. I like the ice cream here but not a fan of the buttered buns for the burgers here.. Fries r good though... read more

This may be the best run restaurant on the face of the earth? I pulled off I-75 for what I hoped would be taste of old Wisconsin. And I was not disappointed. The double butter burger with cheese was just great. And, OMG, they had fried cheese curds - simply fabulous ! The staff was efficient, friendly, and made me feel welcome and valued. I even met the Owner and his wife actively managing and greeting people - really nice people! You can't do better than this place. read more

I'm always a huge fan of Culver's. But I was especially had a wonderful experience today. In my job I often have to place big orders of food for our staff meetings and things of that nature. I like to try and mix it up so I'm not ordering the same thing for everyone every time, and gave Culver's a try. I was so pleasantly surprised at how easy Steven made the whole experience. Sometimes when you call with big orders like that to fast food places it really throws them for a loop, but the whole process was super easy with the help of Steven who helped me figure out appropriate serving sizes for my group to make sure I had enough food. Thanks for the job well done. I'm sure you'll see me in away from work soon. I can't stay away from Culver's! read more

Culver's frozen custard is awesome! It's very thick and creamy. If your in the mood for some delicious frozen custard I would highly recommend checking this place out! read more

I have only had their ice cream here and it is delicious! Vanilla Custard with hot fudge is my favorite.

Didn't place the chicken on the chiken sandwiches. Got home and soooooo disappointed!!! Who's working there!!!. We won't be back...

Keep on driving~ with all the great spots to eat in this area, save your time and money. Management is clueless. I waited in line for drive-thru for 15 minutes to place my order, then waited another 5 minutes to get the order and then got the wrong order - then they expected me to give them back the wrong order (I wasn't going to eat it, but what were they going to do with it?) and wouldn't correct the order without collecting the 50 cent upcharge for the onion rings that were misplaced with fries. geez~ I called the manager and he said, "we train our employees to collect the right amount of money". ??? wha??? Won't go back. read more

Timeless classics anytime? Not quite. Sign on the door says that they are open until 11 PM, however, on many occasions they are locked up and closed at 10. If they want to close at 10, then that is certainly their prerogative. Just change the sign to 10. In retail, it's a real good way to lose customers when you do this repeatedly. Other than that annoyance, decent burgers and fries - better than your average fast food. Good atmosphere - nice place, friendly staff. The frozen custard is the real attraction - love it! They just need to get a clue on the close time thing. Tonight, though it is an hour from their posted close time, they're putting chairs up on the tables all around us. Rude! I'd give 4 or 5 stars except for the early closing thing. read more

Culver's - Great custard! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Bradenton, Florida

We went there on a whim and were so disappointed! My husband got the Reuben which was inedible and I got a burger which was so skimpy and salty. Will never go back read more

My husband ordered two sandwiches and a concrete mixer at the drive thru. When they brought out the concrete mixer my husband stated they forgot one of the toppings. The girl took back the concrete mixer and a few moments later brought us back the concrete mixer. She stated she dumped all the toppings on top and did not mix it in due to health code. My husband asked if they could make a new concrete mixer for him and the girl stated she was not able to. After pulling around to the drive-through again we ask for the manager. The manager began to argue with us stating my husband did not ask for those toppings. I offered to show her the The receipt which clearly had all toppings listed. After a few more moments she then made a new concrete mixer. After leaving my husband realized they made the incorrect sandwich. After pulling around to the drive-through a second time we asked to speak to the owner Dori. At this point we asked for a refund and Dori stated she was not able to. I simply stated this was a waste of our time and at this point all of other food was cold. Dori said she could refund one sandwich and make a fresh one for him. I asked for a refund on the entire order since this whole process took over 30 minutes. Dori again stated there was nothing she could do and apologized for the inconvenience. I currently am a manager in a retail environment I would refund the order without hesitation. Not only has this experience lost my husband and I as customers but all of our family and friends as well. All of this could have been avoided for a refund of $16. This franchise has a lack of organization. read more

This fast food joint is pretty expensive compared to others and I don't think the quality of food is any better than other fast food chains. The reason I'm giving a 4 star rating is the darn burgers taste like my grandmas burgers used to taste. I miss my grandma and she did make a good burger. :) read more

Ok I have been here several times. Service is friendly and helpful. I am usually not a fan of fast food burgers, but their burgers are soooo tasty. I have been ordering the mushroom swiss burger and it is so juicy and delicious. Kids have gotten their chicken strips which are real chicken and are quite tasty and a generous portion. The ice creams and shakes are always good as well. We have also had the fries and onion rings. All good. We will most definitely be back! read more

Great service. Clean. Delicious burgers and the concrete mixers are fantastic! Don't leave Lakewood Ranch without getting a butter burger! read more

One of the best Culver's around! The staff is exceptional, super courteous, welcoming, attentive, and most importantly makes you feel like you're a wanted customer. The facility is very clean and the food is always fresh and made to order. Will definitely always make a stop at this Culver's while making my way through Florida! read more

Would have given this a 5 star rating except for the rotten banana on the bottom of my banana split. They didn't mention nuts when I ordered it so when it came with them I had to send it back. They gave me a new one without complaint but put the rotten banana in. I didn't want to complain. My husband had a wonderful one with nuts. Wish I could eat nuts. read more

One of the best fast food restaurants in town! Glad these have migrated from the Midwest down south. It's high quality fast food. The butter burgers are their signature, and a must-try if you're a real burger fan. They also have cheese curds with Wisconsin cheese! Great with a burger. The also specialize in dessert, serving frozen custards. Love being able to get a flavor and mix it with my own toppings, and the specialty mixers are awesome. They also serve frozen custard pints in store for you to take home and enjoy later! read more

Ok,I'm back with an update! Try the Ruben melt....it is delish!

I wanted to not like this place but I actually loved it. The fries are okay crispy sufficient. The deluxe bacon cheeseburger was amazing honestly best burger I've had in a while and the bun was delicious. A solid choice fast food spot! read more

I've loved this place from when I lived in the North. The burgers are always made fresh to order, and juicy. I want to stop by and get a burger every time I drive by, but I don't think my cardiologist recommends a double butter burger daily. If you get the fries, get the Wisconsin cheddar cheese sauce with it. Awesome. read more

Ordered a shake at night on a long drive and they crushed pieces of the plastic lid into the shake--which I drank since it was dark. Serious safety issue, guys. Not a happy camper. read more

We're new to Culver's. Friends from the midwest brought us here, we've been back several times. No kidding, the best value quick service restaurant anywhere. Staff is friendly, helpful and well-trained both inside and drive thru. It took us some time to learn their menu, it looks a little overwhelming at first, but that's because we are new to Culver's. Now that we know the lingo we're all set. Our family tried most of the meals, we have our favorites, but try them for yourselves. There's something for everyone. Very happy customers here. Leave room for custard. read more

This place is a bit pricey. I paid $5 for a piece of grilled chicken. $5! for one lonely piece of grilled chicken. Then I was charged .25 cents for a pinch of cheddar cheese. No exaggeration. But if you want good custard then this is your place. read more

I had a big day today and decided to treat myself to a cheeseburger. I wanted to eat at home, so I decided to go to Culver's. I went through the drive thru and had several questions because I didn't want two patties, but I did want all the veggie accompaniments. The young man, who I later saw on his name tag is Tyler, was very polite, friendly, and helpful to make sure I ordered exactly what I wanted. When I got to the window, Tyler had a smile on his face and continued with his good manners. I drove up to wait for my food (made fresh), and it was also delivered by Tyler who followed through the completion of the transaction with friendliness and manners. Most places are like a factory line, get through and get to the next customer, so I was impressed by being treated like a valuable customer. The food was good and put together well. P.S. The onion rings were very good. In those rare moments I eat fast food, this Culver's location will be on my list. read more

We stopped in to get a quick lunch and were completely surprised with what we order! The burgers were juice and the flavor was incredible. We will come back again. read more

My lover and I entered this establishment to purchase milk (gives us gains). The milk was pure white and cold against my lips. The stache it provided me reminded my partner of the beautiful weekend we spent in Tuskany. Truly a weekend we will never forget. The milk itself had a sharp taste with undertones of grass-fed Wisconsin cattle. Truly mooving experience until the last drop. Would highly recommend. Pros Milk was cheap Cold efficiently bottled savory Cons No variety (Mouse milk should be standard) bottle cap was hard to get off (My lover had to assist me) read more

For a fast food place, the food is actually really good. Have had the burgers and a brisket sandwich. Both were very tasty. Shakes were very good too. Nice place to sit outside if weather is good. Overall a nice place to eat, especially if you're in s hurry. read more

I've never had bad food here. The employees are great, and the one time I had a problem, the owner Steve made it right. I'm from Wisconsin, so I've eaten a lot of Culver's. It's consistently good at every location I've been to. It's always clean and pleasant. Seating is comfortable, service is great. I can't say enough good things about Culver's and this location is no exception. read more

Stopped in at Culver's on Ranch Lake Road when we were visiting Bradenton. We received a warm welcome from staff. It's a clean restaurant with lovely décor and delicious food....especially the custard! Salads were fresh, crisp and tasty too! We'll definitely be back!! read more

Today I decided to stop into Culver's after hearing from a friend that there were gluten free buns available. I walk into the store and I talk to one of the nicest young man at the register explaining that I heard that they served gluten free buns. He told me yes that they did, and then I asked about the gluten free environment. I was nervous that he wasn't going to understand what I was trying to ask but I was completely blown away at his complete and caring response. He let me know that they serve gluten free buns that will be warmed still in the factory wrapper to make sure they stay gluten free, that the kitchen staff washes their hands changes their gloves AND uses separate toppings for the burgers to make sure there was no cross contamination. At this point I felt more than safe eating here and thanked him for explaining it to me. I asked if the fries were gluten free and he explained to me that they were fried in oil with other gluten items, so instead I got a root beer float. He both marked on the register that I had a gluten allergy and verbally explained to the kitchen that I had an allergy and to be extra careful. When I got the burger everything was as he said with the burger toppings arranged in a separate box on this lovely little wrapper that made it super easy to assemble the burger and add the ketchup from separate packets to it. Not only was it an absolute pleasure to be in your restaurant and the whole staff was so cheerful and helpful, the burger and float were absolutely delicious. It is not very often that I am both blown away by a restaurants customer service, but also made to feel completely safe about the meal that I was eating (with NO symptoms from cross contamination after eating the meal), AND the meal is absolutely delicious. read more

Being from the Midwest, we've been to Culver's Rst since the 1990s. Glad to see the chain branch out into Florida. Excellent food and attentive service. Highly recommend for awesome chicken and burgers! The ice cream is outstanding! The parking is convenient and the ambience is great. A little hard to find though but worth the effort. read more

You know! The friendly folks @ this particular store are what really make the place special. It's the standard Culver's menu and there are favs and not so favs; but the burgers are always good and the sweet tea is the best!! And for indoor eating, exceptionally comfy and clean dining room! read more
