This Culver's is a really large location at an easy on/off from I-80, at IN-49 which can take you straight to Lake Michigan's Porter Beach in Indiana Dunes National Park. It has two drive-thru lanes, and it seemed really busy about noon on the Wed before Thanksgiving (Nov 2025). There's seating inside for over 100, and umbrellaed tables outside for 24. The 55-cars parking lot was nearly full, and only two of them near the south door are reserved for pickup orders, so they use your car description in their app to find you. The friendly pickup-service was a 10min wait. Their salad was pretty huge: fresh crisp lettuce with plenty of cucumber slices and crunchy cashews (!), several small cherry tomatoes, and a really generous sliced juicy tasty broiled boneless chicken breast. The good-sized flaky juicy fish sandwich was hot and crispy-fried in a light batter, served with lettuce and cheddar on a long toasted roll. roll. They boast that their North Atlantic Cod are "wild-caught in the icy Barents Sea, north of the Arctic Circle". The cheese curds were mostly ball-shaped, a bit larger than a quarter. They were hot and chewy with a light crispy coating. We knew we were getting the real thing when we heard that little squeak as we bit into them :-) It was a convenient quick friendly stop with good quality fast-food, and we ate our goodies on the 5min drive to the lake. read more

This is one of my go to stops whenever driving cross country and getting on and off the toll road. I usually get a kids meal because it's great portions of everything and the cheeseburgers are delicious. I do curdside so everything is ready whenever I pull up and I can keep being on the move then. Love it here! read more

Not really impressed with their burgers but I only go for the custard. About the closest thing (custard) you'll find without being in Wisconsin. Great service every time I go there and it's non stop traffic in and out. read more

Simple food joint with many food options. The staffs were wonderful. The ambiance is a small town feel. read more

Culver's - Reuben Melts and Brocolli - Fast Food Near Me - Chesterton, Indiana

I love coming here after rehearsal for a late night burger or custard. Tonight, I noticed my tire pressure light came on while driving home from rehearsal, so pulled into Culver's. I am so glad their outside lights were still on! I went to check on my car and saw that I had a flat tire. I started workingon my car and an employee came up to me. They asked me if I needed help and that his manager knows how to change a tire. I told them yes and he went back inside to fetch his manager. His manager came out to me and was able to put my spare tire on my car in a matter of minutes! Thank you so much to the employee and to the manager working tonight!! You are a life saver!! read more

Terrible service. The food was mid, and they didn't give me Mariana sauce. They also had no chairs out so bad ambiance.

Very clean and nice. Lots of helpful staff. Very impressed. Busy but easy to navigate. Good tasted great. Very hot and fresh. read more

Culver's - Bacon Deluxe. - Fast Food Near Me - Chesterton, Indiana

I was super happy to learn that have gluten free buns for people like me with allergies. Also happy that I could get coleslaw with my meal rather than french fries, and their half-cut tea was perfect. The restaurant was clean and bright and the young ladies at the counter were very polite and professional. I would recommend this establishment as good place to stop for a bite to eat. read more

My experiences have been very positive. The atmosphere and culture that they're creating is positive.

Culver's has become my favorite fast food place. (Though my spouse would say "Chick Fil A") Food is never cooked ahead. I usually get the bacon cheeseburger and it is always great. Stopped in Tuesday on the way back from Chicago, got a cheeseburger and fries and they were great as always! read more

Thought I would try this place one more time ! Nope same rude person at the drive thru !! Not sure why the owner hasn't done anything about this ! Smh !! Everyone else has always been friendly but not the same chick that works drive thru ! Will NOT BE BACK AGAIN!!! She needs to go of course I don't have the girls name because she didn't want to tell me ! lol read more

Lunch Rush. Wait time in drive thru not too bad. Was a bit difficult to understand girl on the microphone. Our food has to be brought out to us. The taste was very good. We will probably stop by again. read more

I went with my cousins and my nana today. My family loves going to Culver's when we have to eat something quick and yummy. The place was very clean and we received our food quick. I got a milkshake and a butterburger basket. The milkshake was so good and the fries were cooked at a perfect heat. read more

First of all, the customer service is AMAZING! The employees really went above and beyond to be friendly and helpful, even walking in and out of the building employees held the door for me with a "welcome" and "thank you for coming!" Food is good as always, they are efficient even when very busy, and I enjoyed the little outdoor eating area with my pets. I highly recommend stopping here! read more

Clean and fast. Lots of staff who all were friendly. They were busy but well organized and no stress. read more

I ordered a watermelon cooler lemon ice while o was with my friends. I sit down with them in a booth in clear eyesight from the front. 10 minutes go by. They all get their orders. I wait patiently because whatever, maybe ice and flavoring takes longer to make than a milk shake and sundae. 30 MINUTES PASS. I AM STILL WAITING UNTIL I GO UP TO THE FRONT AND ASK ABOUT IT. "It says it went out almost 30 minutes ago". IT OBVIOUSLY DID NOT. I WAS WAITING FOR 30 MINUTES WHEN IN REALITY SOME OTHER PERSON GOT MY ORDER. 2 stars because the drink was actually pretty good. read more

got 2 tenderloin baskets. WOEST we ever had. Tough, grisel. not tenderized well at all. breading fell off in bun. They need to stop changing them. No flavor. They were so good when they first opened. The very worst , even grocery store is better!!!! read more

I like me some Culver's. I do like the service a Culver's offers; they bring the food to your table and are always friendly. I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich and a Reeses concrete mixer, and fries. They were all devoured pretty quickly. Overall, very happy with Culver's. If you order a kids meal, like mine did, they get a free concrete mixer of their choice. Score! read more

The raspberry shake was amazing. So yummy. Not too sweet. This shake deserves the 5 stars. We had the southwest salads. The chicken was bland. They were good but not as good as Chick-fil-A. read more

Only recently has Culver's started to grow on us as a family. I had never been that excited about the über-dairy and deep fried fair of this Wisconsin original. But I think having kids has opened us up to the simple fast food goodness of this place. There's really not much to say about this particular location that isn't true about every other Culver's. The food is to be expected -- that is pretty good compared to other chain restaurants. It's definitely a good, modestly priced option especially if you have kids. The one criticism of this specific location has to be the narrow interior. It doesn't seem like it from the outside but the dining area of this Culver's is pretty tight. When you consider how busy this location gets it makes for a loud and crowded eating experience. My recommendation is to either eat in the outdoor area or get it to go and picnic at Coffee Creek nearby. read more

Was pretty good drive through food, fish burger was yummy and I think it's better quality than most fast food

This food gave me the runs BAD. Very delicious and great customer service!! Will definitely return.

When I'm in town, I'm in it for the frozen custard (ice cream). And it's only a short walk from the Hilton Garden Inn. Today's flavor is peanut butter chocolate banana. Yum! read more

Yet another excellent culvers experience, some of the nicest staff I have ever encountered. This team is on point

Their food was fresh and hot! The service was also great! Journey was an awesome cashier!! We will be stopping back!

I was pleasantly surprised during my first visit to Culvers. The restaurant looks brand new and was super clean. The staff were friendly and did a great job. I tried the hamburger on sour dough, fried cheese curds and a chocolate shake. Service was quick and everything tastes good. I was happy that I landed here after checking out two other places in the area that scared me away. read more

What a great find. We're traveling through the area and found this place for lunch. The burger was delicious, the bun was the freshest I've ever had and ordered French fries and pretzel bites as our sides. Absolutely delicious. Ended with a Snickers and Reese's concrete mixer. The staff was super friendly and the food is brought to your table. You cannot go wrong here. read more

Food is always good, service is not. Went by there tonight. There were 2 people at driVe thru yuking it up. The person waiting on us had our order, 2 waffle cones. She is holding that and takes our card. Then she hands us the cones while processing our payment. This is seriously stupid. Process payment and give card back before handing our cones. That way we can put away before driving off. It is not a huge deal with a second person in the car. It is a problem when as a driver you are given cone, then card, and expected to drive off all at same time. So tell me do I need to just park at the drive thru window, eat my cone, so I can have my 2 hands to get mY card back into my wallet before I drive off for you to get the picture. Come on stop being stupid. And tonight the drivethru person had 2 people at her window not doing anything that could of cashed us out or made the item while she cashed us out. Why make Brooke do all the work? She is super nice and a hard worker for others to just play around and not help. read more

I won't be back first of all. Worst food I have ever had from Culvers, fries were actually cold in the middle like they were not thoroughly cooked. The lettuce was slimy feeling and the tomato was mush. Both drinks we received were flat It was 12:10 pm would never have thought I would get this quality right at lunch. read more

My dad ordered a fried fish sandwich and it came with no top bun??? This isnt the first time something like this has happened. Twice we have ordered fries and they have forgotten our fries. read more

Great venue! Perhaps one of the best Culvers I've visited. Very clean and well managed. The service is awesome and the food is always well prepared. It's right off the highway. I will be back whenever I'm in the area working. read more

Downloaded yelp just to leave this review. I could see one of the employees making custard, this was back before Covid, and we happened to lock eyes. She stared me down, and I was mildly uncomfortable until she began to speak to me in fluent Mandarin. "The worsening of relations between a declining America and an internally troubled Mexico could even give rise to a particularly ominous phenomenon: the emergence, as a major issue in nationalistically aroused Mexican politics, of territorial claims justified by history and ignited by cross-border incidents." This effectively brought me out of my depressive episode. Thanks Autumn!!! read more

The service here is alway excellent. The staff are always very friendly and helpful. I am not normally fast food chain type of person, but when I do, this Culver's is my favorite spot. The food is made to order. The place is always clean. If on the toll road and need to stop, I would recommend. read more

My second visit to this location, months apart. Outstanding service and reliably good food. Fresh grilled chicken, still hot, on my cranberry bleu salad today. On my first visit I was served by one of the owners, with the same great care and service (it was that memorable). Looking forward to coming by again! read more

The food was the usual Culver's fare. No complaints there. However, we were surprised (and disgusted) to see adults eating in the dining room who were barefoot. I've never eaten in a restaurant that served people with bare feet. When my husband inquired if that was allowed, the manager was snippy and defensive. We will never return to this Culver's again. read more

lady at the window was extremely rude and we asked for the senior discount and she said "i already swiped it" didn't even try to fix it or do anything about it. then ignored us and turned her back while at the window because she was embarrassed. very ignorant. had great services here until now. need better workers. read more

Extremely disrespectful. Some of the worst food experiences I've ever had. Would recommend any other Culver's, but the personnel here is ridiculous, and my experience ultimately made me feel reduced as a person. Just utterly pathetic. read more

Hands down, the best Culvers I have ever been to! The restaurant is very clean and modern and the staff is efficient and friendly. I would highly recommend checking it out if you're headed to the Dunes or anywhere on 49! read more

Always great food and great service, the restaurant is usually clean and they are very prompt, I never seem to get a messed up order there. The food is consistent, fresh, and tasty. Even when waiting in the drive thru it's never too long of a wait. read more
