I can't believe this is the first Culver's we stopped at on our roadtrip. Only 1,855 miles away. There are closer Culver's in Arizona and Utah. Service was nice and friendly. My wife always gets their cod sandwich. My daughter and I always get their burgers. Their food never disappoints. Their butter burger with mushroom and cheese is one of the few burgers that my daughter will finish. Their burgers are delicious. Even the manager came over to talk to me and find out about my road trip. He even warned me about a speed trap a few miles up. It was a very good visit. Please open a location in California! read more

It shouldn't be difficult to center a chicken patty on a bun. Nor to center a sliced tomato on top of the chicken. Nor even to spread the lettuce across the tomato. But not today. My first bite was a chicken patty with no tomato. My next bite was a tomato sandwich with no chicken. And since the lettuce was all on one side of the sandwich, it all ended up in my lap. I'll now know that I need to rebuild my sandwich. read more

I'm currently on an adventure helping my friend drive home for Christmas break. I have never been to a Culver's and I am blown away! My friend is from the Midwest and I have been asking about different midwestern places to try and I am so happy we stopped here! Firstly, the place was so clean including the bathrooms. The manager took our order, I asked questions about the menu and she gave me the full lowdown. I had a Culver's deluxe with onions rings and my friend had the same with cheese curds. #yum the burgers were juicy, not over greasy. The lettuce, tomato's, and onions were so fresh and crisp! A very happy discovery. Also red onion was such a nice touch in comparison to McDonald's and their blah white onions. The onion rings were crispy and thinly sliced- a win. To top it off I got to have my first fried Wisconsin cheese curds and those were a game changer! Crisp and gooey in the center. I can't wait to visit again tomorrow to try their ice cream. read more

We placed order thru drive up and sat in line for awhile. Saw numerous other people getting orders that came after us. A girl came to our car with an order and said "oops not yours". We asked where ours was and she said someone else got it. We then waited another 15-20 minutes for ours with "so sorry" and coupons for ice cream!! What a joke!! We should have gotten at least free sandwiches or salads!! Won't be going to Geneseo Culver's again!!! read more

The Hamburger was very good here, much better than an In & Out Hamburger that is popular out West. If you enjoy a good hamburger, stop in and give it a shot. Service is fine. Place is clean. Fries are frozen, and not fresh cut, so we did not waste time ordering those. The custard was OK, but we can live without that too. To make the custard mint chip they simply drizzle mint syrup on the vanilla custard and sprinkle chips on it. Yuk! The syrup reminded me of that Fluoride Mint Rinse the Dentist gives you after a teeth cleaning. When I think of quality mint chip--its in the cream--part of it, not dropped on top. That was gross. read more

I was traveling through the area on 6/30/17 and stopped for a sandwich. After I ordered at the Drive-Thru I was told they wouldn't sell me a hamburger, SMALL fries, and a MEDIUM soft drink. They wanted to bundle it into a combo. I offered to pay the individual prices but that wasn't good enough so I offered to pay for a medium combo but only wanted a small fries, but again, no. I explained that as a diabetic I have to control my carb intake and after checking their nutritional guide I could only have a small fries. She again stated that they would not do that and asked me to leave. WTF! When I called their corporate offices on 7/3/17 they said they would look into it and after 3 weeks I've heard nothing back. I've never been so embarrassed and frustrated in my life. As a diabetic, I needed to eat to keep from having medical problems, LIKE A COMA but I can't over eat either. Diabetes sucks but it can be controlled but I guess not if you try to eat at Culvers! read more

From the Business

Specialties

As locally owned and operated restaurants, Culver's has earned its reputation for deliciousness by serving the freshest ingredients to guests, with unmatched hometown hospitality. Fresh, never frozen burgers are always cooked to order, and premium, better-than-ice-cream, fresh frozen custard is made in small batches throughout the day, every day. Welcome to delicious!

History

Established in 1984.

In 1984, Craig and Lea Culver, along with Craig's parents George and Ruth, opened the very first Culver's in the family's beloved hometown of Sauk City, Wisconsin, and began serving ButterBurgers¬¨Ü and Frozen Custard. Craveable as our signature combination is, the Culver family knew right away that although the business is centered around the food, it is really about the people. While folks can vividly recall the first time they bit into a ButterBurger or tasted a scoop of rich, creamy Fresh Frozen Custard, it's our way of welcoming guests that truly makes Culver's delicious.

The Culver's ButterBurger: A Culinary Delight In the world of fast food, where options seem endless and taste can often be compromised for convenience, one gem stands out above the rest: Culver's ButterBurger. This delectable creation has captured the hearts and taste buds of food enthusiasts across the nation, earning its place as a beloved staple in the fast-food landscape. What makes the Culver's ButterBurger so extraordinary? Let's delve into the components that make this culinary masterpiece a true delight. First and foremost, let's talk about the star of the show: the beef patty. Culver's prides itself on using only the finest, freshest beef for its ButterBurgers. Each patty is handcrafted and cooked to perfection, resulting in a juicy, flavorful burger that leaves you craving more with every bite. The quality of the beef is unmistakable, with its rich, beefy flavor shining through in every mouthful. But what sets the Culver's ButterBurger apart from other burgers is its namesake ingredient: butter. Yes, you read that right - butter. Culver's takes the indulgence factor to the next level by slathering a dollop of creamy, melted butter on top of the burger patty. This addition may seem unconventional, but trust me when I say it elevates the burger to new heights of deliciousness. The butter adds a luxurious richness and depth of flavor that sets the ButterBurger apart from any other burger you've ever tasted. Of course, no burger is complete without the bun, and Culver's pays just as much attention to this crucial component as they do to the patty. The ButterBurger bun is soft, yet sturdy enough to hold all of the juicy goodness inside. It's toasted to perfection, adding a delightful crunch to every bite. The bun serves as the perfect vehicle for delivering the mouthwatering combination of beef, butter, and toppings straight to your taste buds. Speaking of toppings, Culver's offers a variety of options to customize your ButterBurger to your liking. From classic choices like lettuce, tomato, and onion to more adventurous options like bacon and cheese, the possibilities are endless. Whatever your preference, you can rest assured that each topping is of the highest quality, adding layers of flavor and texture to an already incredible burger experience. But perhaps the true secret to the success of the Culver's ButterBurger lies in its simplicity. While other fast-food chains may rely on gimmicks and extravagant toppings to attract customers, Culver's lets the quality of its ingredients and the skill of its chefs speak for themselves. The result is a burger that is satisfying in its simplicity, yet endlessly enjoyable with each and every bite. In conclusion, the Culver's ButterBurger is more than just a burger - it's a culinary delight that has captured the hearts and taste buds of food lovers everywhere. With its juicy beef patty, indulgent buttery goodness, and customizable toppings, it's no wonder that the ButterBurger has become a beloved staple in the fast-food world. So the next time you find yourself craving a burger that's anything but ordinary, head to Culver's and experience the magic of the ButterBurger for yourself. read more

I am not a fan of fast food at all but if I had to eat it I would go here again only because of how nice the owner treats the customers. I am assuming he was the owner due to the pride he took in keeping the staff on top of everything. Food was fine, it's quality for fast food. The place was so clean for a fast food restaurant. The service was kind of slow but to be expected when they make your order fresh. read more
