Love this place. I grew up in WIsconsin so I do know cheese and dairy. I got a mushroom swiss burger, some cheese curds (duh) and a chocolate concrete mixer with peanut butter cups and oreos. The burger was good, no complaints.... the cheese curds were amazing. I definitely enjoyed them. The concrete mixer was great! The chocolate custard is the best thing since like anything. Will be back. read more

First time here. I love this place. Wish we had one in California. Got the Culver's delux and a Reese's cup Concrete Mixer. Everything was excellent. The place was clean and friendly. Great job Culver's! read more

I rarely ever eat fast food, but then sometimes get a craving and am pleased to find something a little more like real food than the typical Burger King/McDonald's variety. Along comes Culver's, the perfect place to roll through the drive through for an instant reward to my junk food craving of the moment. Thinking that I'd probably have to settle on a greasy burger and fries if I didn't want a bland chicken sandwich and typical fast food salad, I was pleased to find pork tenderloin sandwiches on the menu (the other white meat that you can dunk in grease and fry) along with a range of sides. My wife grabbed a frozen custard, I got the pork tenderloin with cole slaw, and we both went away happy with our classic fast food selections. Don't get me wrong, this place is nothing that I'd rave endlessly about, but it does fill a huge void in its segment and I'd argue it's probably far superior to places like In N Out, with its slightly broader (yet not overwhelming) selection and what appeared from the car to be a much more thoughtful seating layout. Not only that, but I don't think you need to believe in Jesus to order the fries here (no bible verses on the packaging). A little religion doesn't hurt while clogging your arteries, but Culver's was homey and family style without appearing to take sides on such a big non-fast food related issue as religion. I'm a believer. read more

I love Culver's. I grew up in Wisconsin so Culver's is in my blood. Before we moved here I had to visit my parents or my in laws to satisfy a Culver's craving, now they're all over the valley and we live in Phoenix now! This Culver's had a rough start. We came with friends in December and it was SLOW. 30 minute wait at least for our food. February was a different story and everything arrived much more quickly. My only recent complaint was that I ordered the flavor of the day custard "chocolate oreo volcano" (a family favorite). And what it seems I actually received was 'oreo overload'. I would double check on some of the servers' knowledge of what the flavor of the day ingredients are. Other than that, a solid location, now that they've got their feet under them. read more

Blech. I was running an errand during lunchtime and decided to run through their drive through to pick up a quick bite to eat - I had heard that the food was good from friends. Uncharacteristically, I ordered the chicken strips, fries and an iced tea. The chicken, while crispy, had no flavor in the breading except for an overwhelming amount of salt. The chicken was juicy with a chemically tinged juice. And worst of all, they were cold in the middle. I ate one bite, took a second and literally had to spit it out. Disgusting. The fries were oversalted and greasy. Nice crunch though. Finished maybe 1/4 of them before I just couldn't eat anymore. Iced tea was good, but all of the ice was melted by the time I had taken 2 sips. Note to staff - real brewed iced tea is awesome, but it is warm, so you need to fill the cup ALL the way with ice. Never again. Ick ick ick. read more

I'm increasingly not a fan of fast food franchise burgers, but Culver's has changed my mind about that. I had the bacon double cheeseburger and was astonished at how fresh the beef tasted! The bun was the perfect texture too, so I can say it was an enjoyable dining experience stuffing this delicious creation down my ravenous gullet. I'm a bit of a condiment whore, so I paid for my slathering ways by getting ketchup and mustard all over my hands and face. By the end of it, I looked like a messy baby... but it was really that good. And what would a trip to Culver's be without a dessert? Obviously, this is one of the things they are known for judging from the menu and the endless parade of customers who seemed to continuously file in for custard on this hot Phoenix summer day. I had the Bananas Foster sundae over the flavor-of-the-day (Butter Pecan) and it did not suck. My dining companion and I discussed what it was that distinguished Culver's offerings as "custard" instead of ice cream. Not knowing the exact difference in preparation, I could only guess it had something to do with the addition of eggs. Accurate or not, the consensus seemed to be that "it's got puddin' in it!" I now know when the mood strikes, I can go to Culver's to get me some righteous puddin'. read more

Ugh, these places are terrible. I'm not really sure why the husband and I decided to give them another shot, maybe because they're in a nicer part of town or maybe we were just being nice, who knows. We decided to go inside the restaurant this time to see what they were all about and it's just a little overwhelming and quite a bit claustrophobic. There is so much going on in here, with a huge backlit menu above the registers, a good number of TV's blasting some basketball game, and the cacophony going on in the kitchen. After about 10 minutes of trying to figure the menu out, we decide to order and then wait about another 10 minutes while the guy pushing the buttons figured out how to do a stupid cheeseburger with just mayo and ketchup. We waited a little while for our food to come out and the same look of disappointment from my last experience spread across my face when I saw my burger. I got an ill formed patty with ridiculously cripsy edges and haphazard construction. I ate it and it really sucked. At least I didn't get sick this time. The only good things about this place are their fried cheese curds and some promising concrete flavors. Aside from those two things, I will never eat anything else from here again. read more

Butter Burger was so burnt and this is the second time I've experienced this. Not planning to return

This place on two separate visits, months apart, had forgotten my order and somehow lost it after waiting over 20 to 25 minutes each time. Employees rather text on their phones and lean against counters rather than serve their customers. Culver's has awesome frozen custard with creative flavors of the day. This location also is very clean and well maintained especially the bathrooms which are a plus. You just have to make sure to check in with the front every 5 minutes if you don't want them to forget your order. read more

Why would you ever go to another fast food burger place after you've been to Culver's? Wow! They fry their burgers in butter ~ hence the butter burger experience. They have awesome burgers, fries and the best frozen custard! Sure they offer other dinning options such as salads, roast, chicken and they have the coolest cheese curd thingies that are addictive, but it's their burgers and custard that makes this place a must stop by when your craving fast food. read more

I understand you can only get so much out of a group of 15 year olds working the establishment but you need an adult there! While they could be cleaning and assisting other customers they continued to giggle and ignore the order screens. The custard was reasonably priced but the taste was not worth it. read more

As mentioned in my review of the Tempe location, Culver's Deluxe burger was delicious though just a bit on the salty side. Chili cheese fries are the best in the valley now that Carl's Jr. took the item off their menu, and the Culver's brand root beer from the fountain is comparable to A&W's. Employees here were friendly, and the environment is definitely great for families -- they have some nice positive bible quotes painted on the walls. Minus one star because of the dirty restroom. read more

See all

My first visit and my eyes were gleaming about how a franchise in California could do so well. The place was clean and well lit. The burger I ordered was truly buttery, as they advertised and no weird fillers to pick out. The burger tasted so good I didn't feel the need to add mustard or extra mayo. My rootbeer was crisp and light and that frozen custard was just divine! I will most certainly be back before I leave Phoenix. read more

Culver's - Nice quotes all over, and about eating. - Fast Food Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Not ashamed to say this is THEE best tasting burger and milkshake I've ever had. =) I had a bacon cheese butter burger or something like that, and their fried cheese curds... PSSSSHHHH!!! I was ALL about it! Nice and heavy... stick to your ribs kind of cheese burger, just the way a cheeseburger SHOULD be. I ordered (upon the advice of my roomie) the butter pecan milkshake... the girl in the drive trhu said they didn't have that milkshake, so I just ordered their butterscotch milkshake instead. However, when I got my order... it was a butter pecan milkshake? I don't know how or why this happened but I was happy it did. I wasn't even MAD that they forgot our fries and cheese curds, of which i had to turn around and get.... mistakes happen and they rectified it. EASY! I will be going back VERY soon... uhhh after my diet that is... HAHAHA! read more

Went through the drive through and the service was fast. The down sides were that the person working the speaker did not hear or understand my order the first time around and even though I pulled forward to wait for my food my fries were just kind of warm instead of piping hot like I'm used to with order Culver's locations. read more

Tonight I spent $9.28 for a burger, shake, and fries. The service couldn't have been better. Really nice people there and it was fast. The restaurant was really clean, a plus with me. The custard kind of shake was pretty good- haven't had one of that kind for awhile. To be honest for what I paid, the burger really wasn't anything exceptional. This surprised me as I seem to remember them being better. Wonder what's happened there or if it was just me. read more

I had never heard of a Culver's until this one popped up back in 2008 or 2009. A co-worker from a previous job told me how good their butter burgers are, so I decided to give it a try. For fast food, it's better than McDonald's or Burger King. But that isn't why I come to Culver's. What I really like about Culver's is their ice cream and milkshakes. They make a killer chocolate malt here. Whenever I am craving a milkshake, I only want Culver's chocolate malts. They also have a good Turtle sundae (pecans, hot fudge, and caramel sauce). This is definitely a guilty pleasure, but one I enjoy. read more

I love this fast food restaurant. Their burgers are always good and taste fresher than most fast food joints. Their fries and cheese curds are also quite tasty. The absolute best thing here though is their concrete mixers. They are so delicious! read more

If Culver's were on every other block, like some of the "other" fast food burger places, those "other" places wouldn't be in business. Culvers has fresh made-to-order burgers and sandwiches which are very tasty, made with fresh ingredients and very affordable! Plus, the burgers taste delish! They remind me of burgers from my childhood, but I can't put my finger on where. Suffice it to say, they're really, really, good. Their french fries are always hot and yummy, and although I haven't tasted their ice cream, it looks fab! The personel are always cheerful and friendly, and they bring you your food minutes after ordering...to your table! Trust me, skip Mickey D's and Burger Queen and go to Culvers! read more

I love the concrete mixers. I don't like the attitude of one of the employees. She usually works the drive they window. Tonight she made the ice creams. We ate inside. She she brought them to the table she almost slammed both of them down. All the other employ are fantastic. Every employer has just one unhappy employee. Will still come here for the ice cream. read more

Awesome service. Staff gets 5 stars! Food is always excellent, hot, and quick - 5 stars This location is also very clean every time I visit - 5 stars Keep up the great work..see you next time read more

Now I am not one to dismiss a good burger joint, one of my favorite foods. This place is cool looking with lots of ice cream options, however I found the burgers to be quite greasy. I'll pass from eating here again! read more

The pot roast sandwich is always a winner. I happen to enjoy their chocolate malted milkshakes Culvers is fast food for adults - great flavor; excellent quality and modest prices. We have become fans - when we need a quick lunch or a bit of dinner, Culver's is our #1 go-to spot - followed closely by Pei Wei. read more

I am so disappointed. I ordered a peach shake, expecting yummy peach deliciousness. What I got was a vanilla shake, with a few peach chunks in it. Bland, flavorless and a total waste of money... read more

I have never had a bad experience at Culver's. The food is fantastic (Butter Burger!) and the concrete mixers alone are worth the trip. Everyone talks about the custard and mixers, but it's a mistake to look at it and think "Dairy Queen" because the food is amazing. The employees are super friendly in an almost creepy Chik-fil-a way. In fact, if you want a real life version of the flair guy from OfficeSpace, make sure you hit up this location (Camelback and 10th St). The stores are big, clean, and typically have lots of space. The only downside to Culvers is their soda fountain is Pepsi products. read more

The food is good don't get me wrong. It's just a little expensive for a fast food joint. But definitely fine food.

I like the food. I really do. However I can feel the happiness drain from my body when I come here. And I am certain that it is a result of your second assistant manager Aldo. He was on his phone when I arrived. No smile. No interest. No nothing. I ordered a large drink with my order and he replied, "Regular?" I again asked for a large and i got the same answer again. I guess he's concerned about your paper cost. And he was on his phone again when I left. So thats my story. And I'm sticking to it read more

Their custard is amazing!! I usually get the vanilla with strawberries and bananas for toppings. I tried their buffalo chicken for the first time and liked it. Crispy and spicy. Their butter buns are soft and delicious. Love this place, must stop in whenever I come into town. Service: amazing. Everyone is always extremely friendly and warm. read more

If you are from the Midwest...then this place is a little piece of home. The food is great and the service is impeccable. I have a Culver's in my hometown of Marquette, Michigan but can honestly say that I have never ever been there, due to the fact they came to town after I moved to AZ...but all my friends back home swear by it and as soon as this place opened up, my buddy here from Chicago swore by it up and down, he said that he was really happy that one opened up so close to him because he normally drives to the one location in Mesa at least once a month to get his fix so with all this raving I had to go try it out. I got the Mushroom n Swiss single with cheddar cheese fries and a strawberry smoothie...REAL CHEESE...OMG REAL CHEESE...amazing. To say the least the burger was good, the cheese chili fires are a heart attack in a tray and the smoothie was outstanding. I will say this about Culver's even though I enjoyed it thoroughly if you are on a diet this is not the place for you, almost everything on their menu has upwards of 600 calories or more...in fact I saw some things like their 4 piece fried chicken has over 2000 calories. So not a great place for dieters...it doesn't help either that they sell pints and quarts of their ice cream to go....by the way which is also delicious. What I felt was nice about this location is that you can sit inside and they open up the front of the store with these huge bay doors to out door seating which allowed for a cool night breeze to come in and you feel like you sitting outdoors indoors. Great big TV's with sports on...and a ton of staff to basically take care of your every need while you eat. Culver's is definitely worth the visit. The food is great and the service is untouchable for a fast food place. If you have never been I highly suggest going at least once to check it out. read more

The staff has always been super nice and polite. Food is great and frozen treats are even better.

By far the worst. Ordered ice cream just for it to be melted while I waited in the line. Don't recommend going to this one.

The workers at this culver's were sooo nice! I had car troubles in the street in front of their building and while I waited for someone to come help, the workers offered me free ice cream and water. They were extremely friendly, nice, and understanding and it made me feel so much better after my crappy situation read more

I needed a little pick me up, so went to the Culver's drive-through for a chocolate shake... To me, it tasted like artificial frozen sugar syrup - Not unlike the ice cream at Dairy Queen. I maybe had three or four sips before deeming it undrinkable and throwing the rest away. Disappointing, considering all the hype from the Wisconsiners when Culvers first opened up in the valley about a year ago! read more

Burgers are better than the custard. I'll go for a butter burger any day before I will go for the custard. While the custard is the namesake menu item and the flavor of the day is a tempting draw, I find that they all mostly taste of artificial flavors with so-so add-in ingredients to make the flavor happen....I guess Get a butter burger, try the custard and go for an adventure with the fired cheese curds, squeaky cheese. read more

This was my first time at Culver's. I had a butter burger with cheese. It was very good, I thought similar in taste and quality to In and Out. The cheese curds were fantastic, I highly recommend them. They taste basically like a good mozzarella stick appetiser at other restaurants. Also had a cookie dough concrete mixer. It was as good as advertised. Thick and tasty. Only detractors to coming here-cost and high fat/high calorie. High fat/high calorie goes with any fast food though. The cost however is much more than a typical fast food place. $24-26 for two of us getting food basket combo and two med concrete mixers. So not extremely costly, but more than typical fast food. read more

I have family members who love this place! We met up today and I can see why. I don't eat fast food as a rule but ended up having a grilled cheese, side salad, and strawberry shake. My family had fried chicken and burgers, along with frozen custatds. This place is definitely a few steps above Mickey D's, etc. The service is good, as are the prices. I do appreciate the pricing and opportunity to order a children's meal. For my fast-food loving friends, it's a thumbs up. read more

So many flavors to choose from and there's all sorts of American classic foods! I have a BOGO free, so we got a 2 scoop sundae of Mint with fudge and oreos and then a vanilla with strawberries and oreos. I thought they were both good, but both kids said they were really runny and melted quickly. Kid #2 said the mint was too strong for her but Kid#1 didn't have any other complaints. It was really packed inside and line of cars, but we didn't wait in line and our order was available within like 5 minutes. I might give it another try later and order the burger/fries shake maybe. read more

I understand this is a big burger chain the Midwest and there is a dedicated fan base for it. I got introduced to Culver's a few years ago when this location opened up on Seventh Street and Camelback. Had to see what all the hype was about. It's a decent burger joint and their milkshakes and blizzard type ice cream is made with custard. Burgers are a little greasy but everybody raves about the butter burger. Service is good. read more

Culver's - Yummy #firsttimers - Fast Food Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Stopped in here with my hubby today for lunch. I had the walleye fish sandwich with mashed potatoes. Both were quite tasty. Normally they just have cod, but they have the walleye on special right now. The potatoes were good as well. In the past I've had the mushroom swiss burger which is quite good, but one thing I never enjoy here are the french fries. They just are not crisp enough - it's not location specific, it is just how they make them here. read more
