Culver's is always good 100% of the time. The veggies are crisp. The food is hot when necessary, and chilled when necessary. The food in the bag is organized and not a mess but everything is bagged with care. The service is some of the best to be had. The accuracy of the orders is never double checking the order, never having to be stressed if the food is what we ordered or if its all in the bag. It just always is. The employees work like crazy and from what I have researched about employment sigma isn't as Culver like with part time positions being the only options, I think this place needs to offer more to the staff who are amazing. The facility is clean, bright, the soda machine accessible appreciated by all users (some places don't offer self serve soft drinks) . The vouchers for prizes and for custard is so fun. I love the mint ice cream. Just so smooth not frothy or chalky but the texture is nice. There are also allergen friendly options such as a gluten free bun and gluten free burger patties, so great for options. Well now I am very hungry. Good fantastic fast food. read more

The restaurant is typically pretty clean and well stocked. We placed an online order for curbside pickup scheduled for 8:30. We arrived around 8:25 and waited until about 8:50 before I finally went inside, only to find that the food had been sitting there ready the whole time. That was a little frustrating, but they were busy so it wasn't a huge deal. For food, I got the cod sandwich with french fries, which was really good--crispy on the outside and juicy inside. My mom got the ButterBurger with cheese and onion rings. She enjoyed the burger, but the onion rings definitely could have been crispier. We shared the cheese curds, which are always good, though they also could have been a bit crispier this time. We also tried the cheese dip, which was just okay and probably not something we would order again. The broccoli cheese soup was also fine, but not something I would get again. Overall, the food was good, but it wasn't the best experience we've had there. read more

Culver's - Fast Food Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

If you're needing fast food (travel, running late, too tired to spend an hour in front of a saute pan), and don't want to eat something that makes you feel like you failed at life...Culvers is your friend. The staff are so friendly, there is NO MSG (like a certain franchise who pours over their chicken sandwiches and covers their fake waffle dries in pea flour), so the food is actually fresh and tastes YUM! But the chef d'oeuvre is those shakes! Actual frozen custard that tastes like a milkshake is supposed to taste! And this location has an adorable patio with edison lights that elevates your dining experience as you look around for your somalier to pour your glass of wine.... read more

Reasonably quick and inexpensive My wife and I stopped in for a reasonably quick and inexpensive dinner. We decided we would split a Strawberry Fields salad and each got a sandwich, for me this was their Grilled Reuben Melt. The salad was ok, a good size for one person and it did have strawberries. I thought the chicken on top could have been better, I've gotten used to chicken salads from a competing fast food chain and Culver's comes in second. As for my Reuben, now there was a really good sandwich. For me the corned beef tasted great and the sandwich had a buttery influence. I didn't pay much attention to any sauerkraut and Thousand Island dressing, just focusing on enjoying the meat and bread parts. The setup is you order and pay at the counter and they give you a number to place on your table. A food runner brings you your food when it's ready. That all went well. We had a nice seat by a window and enjoyed our visit, even though we skipped getting their famous custard this time. read more

Culver's - This is the outdoor area - Fast Food Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

I have been to this location three times now. It is out of the way, but not far from the mall. The restaurant is large and nice. I was expecting to be just a small type of fast food joint,but this looks like a full-blown restaurant. Anyhow, staff was very helpful and knowledgeable all the times I came here. They were knowledgeable about gluten allergies and cross-contamination. They flagged my order for fries. I came here for the fries because I have heard they are so great. Not a lot of places have a dedicated fryer for fries, much less serve crinkle fries! They really are great! I can't tell if they are prefrozen, but I am guessing maybe. Either way, their fries are some of the best I have had and definitely the best crinkle fries I have had. I can't wait to try more items on the menu that are gluten-free. They also give a LOT of fries. I ordered a medium and couldn't finish them then ordered a small and still I could not finish all of them. Nice job. read more

It took 35 minutes from waiting to ordering drive thru to receiving my food. My food was incorrect. Swiss mushroom had 1. Yes that is what I said. 1 mushroom!!! Kids burger had ketchup when I ordered ketchup and pickles. Proceed with caution. Not worth the wait! Expensive and not worth the cost. Frustrating and not right. read more

We used to love this Culver's, however the other night when I went there at approximately 9:15 to order two vanilla shakes. I was at the window paying and watched a young girl scoop out the shakes from a funky looking white bucket, and pour them into the shake containers. She handed them to me and I looked at them and they were very watery and I told her they were way too watery. She then told me she was gonna put some ice cream in them to thicken them up, but when she came back, they were the same and there were little black pieces floating in them. She told me that the shake machine was being closed down because they closed at 10 and that's what she had available. I was uncomfortable about us drinking these so I told her I would not drink them and she got the manager, Toni who voided my Apple Pay purchase. It just did not feel like this was a cleanly experience most likely will never go back. read more

Another fast food chain among them all. This one we do not have close to home. And it puts McDonald's and Wendy's to shame for the most part. I was a little overwhelmed by their menu .they had a lot to offer. With what I ordered today I was pleased. Quality and flavor was there. They should extend their locations and give there competition a run for the money read more

Culvers in Sarasota has a promotion with the Orioles during spring training--if O's score 7 or more runs in a game then anyone who attended the game can go to Culvers the next day and show his or her ticket and get a free small concrete mixer--just one problem...Culver's has made it very difficult to actually collect the free drink--one has to order online for each mixer, providing a lot of personal information to receive it, and most troubling of all, must spend at least $1 to collect the drink. Perhaps Culver's needs a lesson in what "free" means...seems like a scam to me! Has anyone else had a problem with getting a free concrete mixer? read more

All the food was amazing. My daughter is sooooo picky and she has been begging to go back, and kids get free custard!!The kids meal is like a perfect size for adults too! If you want to go somewhere for great food go here. Also the service was amazing they were so nice to all of my family. The ambiance was amazing there was conversation it was clean and the people there were so nice and no one was sketchy. Such a nice place it is my go to. read more

I ordered ice cream with raspberries and they gave me strawberries witch has happened twice now and I was parked at the window for 5 minutes to try to get them to fix my order a and they saw me and did not care to open the window to ask what was wrong so my dad honked the horn on the car and they heard it and looked at us and did not help us still very disappointed and confused how rude read more

Food, Service and Ambiance are superior. We have been having dinner here once or twice a week for the last 3 years. Happy to say this is the best fast food restaurant we have experienced besides the food, service and ambiance remarks above. The menu has great variety... I have eaten the major offerings and enjoyed the food immensely. Disappointed in the very few critical reviews here as we have never had any of those experiences. One thing about our patronizing this Culver's is we never have used the drive thru, always eat inside. read more

Wish I could give this location a ZERO. Burnt/dirty grill-tasting burgers, usually the food is cold - not even hot enough to melt cheese, missing items, and terrible management. They absolutely do not care if you had a good experience or not, don't even try to complain - it's always your fault. This particular location on Cattleman Road is the worst in the area, the management including the owner (who is a very angry person) does not care about the quality of the food, getting the order right, or customers. I would avoid this location. It is a shame that Culver's allows this franchise to operate like this. Hopefully, someone from corporate would visit this location and experience how bad this location is and do something about it. It's killing the brand one customer at a time. They lost me for life, I will never go back again. read more

I became a vegetarian for health reasons two years ago. I had a big craving for a juicy hot fresh burger. I brag about how wonderful Culver's is and have thought it one of the best burgers, until today. I drove out of my way to eat a burger for the first time in years! Ordered a Sourdough Melt. Arrived home, took a bite and it was very disappointing!!! The one side was completely burnt! Inedible! Had to remove half of the bread and double over the dry patty that also tasted like they did not season it. I took another bite and fed the rest to my dogs. Only good thing is my craving for a burger has definitely subsided. read more

Culver's - Discovered Burnt on one side after a bite and tasted awful - Fast Food Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

This was a pretty good experience overall. Came here after joining the E-club and redeeming a buy one value meal, get one value meal. The young guy at the register was very accommodating as it was our first time there and had some questions about the menu. We definitely took our time ordering to make sure we got it right! I started with the double butter burger patty, which is obviously delicious. What made it special was the double patty. There are a ton of burger places out there so it was nice having bit of difference. Side of the fried onion rings were very tasty as well. I was a little surprised though that there weren't that many onion rings as compared to the French fries I saw my neighbors get in their order. For me, the noticeable drop in star value is two-fold: the wait for the food (not terribly long) but as good Yelpers tend to do, we snap pics! Apparently that is a no-go at this location. After trying diligently to get a photo of the pretty cool custard machine, we were asked to not take any more photos. Weird, right? I thought so. For me this took away from the fun, family atmosphere they are going for, and was rather off putting. My advice to the proprietor is to put a sign up saying please no photos since this is a public location and it would be nice to know. Food is pretty good and the atmosphere is overall decent. At this point with all the other options out there, I'm satisfied with trying them out but may opt for something different next time. read more

The chicken sandwich is freshly made and juicy. Not over breaded and served on a firm roll to handle the dressings, like leafy lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, mayo and the cheese, which is extra. The fries are never greasy which I really appreciate. My only negative is that when I have ordered the burgers, they tend to be greasy, so I tend to stay away from them. Kate handles the drive-thru at lunch time and she is cheerful and helpful. Ask for the daily specials and be in the loop. Kate always double checks the order, greets me when I arrive at the window, and makes sure I have my extra napkins and any sauce I may need for my meal. Even at lunch time, you do wait a little bit but you are never more than 5 minutes even when you are the fourth car down. The orders all of a sudden come on out with a smile and have a nice day. It's great that they repeat the order when they hand over your bag so no need to doubt that you really got the food you ordered. I appreciate the customer service and the added attention. Makes choosing this location a natural choice when picking my lunch break. read more

The cod sandwich is so good. The breading is not heavy and tastes fresh. The bun they use has the right consistency to hold the big piece of cod. The fries are okay, but my preference is the onion rings. Also lightly breaded and these were not greasy. For a small upgrade, pick a milkshake. I love the chocolate, so thick and so good. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. Orders are taken correctly and coupons are always welcomed. My food came out pretty quick, which I totally appreciated it. The condiments are fully stocked and quite honestly very clean for a fast food place. Parking was not an issue as they have a private parking lot. The bathrooms are clean and fully stocked. On this night, the drive through was full with over 6 vehicles. Given that they are right off I-75, there is no surprise how popular this place can be. read more

Culver's - Luke warm burgers, the cheese not even melted! - Fast Food Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

No-one cleaning tables after diners left, so I had to do it myself so my family could sit down. They weren't very busy and there was plenty of staff, so not sure why tables weren't being cleaned. Waited a long time for our food. the burgers were lukewarm and were dry and over cooked. They were also the thinnest patties I've ever seen. One of the worst burgers I've ever had. Fries were ok. I won't be going back. read more

Called to try to place an order to pick up and was told they no longer accept orders over the phone. Only online.

Manager Saul was very empathetic to us being double charged. My wife and I waited over the weekend for pending charges to clear before making a complaint. Saul handled the discrepency very fairly and was extremely friendly. I have ran multiple businesses and know that Saul is a great asset to your company. just thought he deserved to be given a B-R-A-V-O! read more

Most dank double cheese burger with pretzel bites you'll ever find. It's like no others. You go to any other burger place and can't enjoy a double patty bc it's greasy & it's too much meat in one's mouth. Lol. read more

I am not a fast food restaurant fan . I prefer to eat home cooked meals but Culver's is awesome! I haven't been to any other Culver's except for this location. I love their fries, cheese curds, chicken anything and milk shakes. The customer service has been great every time we've been there. Although today we had a tiny incident with the ring up price because the girl forgot to remove a ice cream, but it was taken care of . I recommend this place . read more

The food is good. Had the grilled cheese and their French fries are the best. Service is also pretty good.

Food just not up to par. No seasoning on fish or fries, very bland. Cheese curds were ok. Second visit to a Culver's and no change in my wanting to come back. Disappointed. read more

My favorite burger place. Burgers are made to order and are like homemade. juicey but not overwhelming. Plus the custard is great.

Great place to stop for a quick bite. The staff is friendly and the service is just fine. They have a nice selection of food and their custard choices are many. This is just like all of the other Culver's that I've been to. They are all pretty good places to stop in for a good burger. Bottom line: if you are around Culver's then stop by and have a bite. It's good! read more

This is my first time here and I brought my family. The staff has been so friendly and helpful.

We will definitely be returning in the future. The food is phenomenal. read more

These places are popping up all over. I think they are kind of a glorified Wendy's. The food is good but it takes forever to get it. Nothing fast here or at any Culver's I've visited so far. Kind of expensive for what you get. Regardless, it's a burger and shakes place. Also, today it is really warm in the dining room! Turn on the a/c! read more

This was the worst dining experience ever!! I drove thru and ordered, got to my meeting and had someone elses order w items I don't like. 2 days later went back thru, asked for the manager & told my complaint. Never got an apology! I was told "can't help you". I ordered, drove away about a block, opened bag, took a bite of burger & it was barely luke warm as were the fries. Drove back and returned food, and again NO apology just bad attitudes. I wouldn't recommend this place ever....bad food, no customer service at all!! read more

Visited Culver's 11/14/19 .Have been to this location several times and it has been ok. Visit last night was completely different. Ordered a double hamburger with everything. Burger was over cooked and was not the best we have ever had. Also ordered a cod sandwich meal.Found a table had to clean it off a little but that was ok, my cod arrived told the young lady thank you and she answered yeah. Looked at the sandwich and it did not have any fish on it. Took it back and after a few minutes it was returned to me no tarter sauce but I was tired of them already so I just chalked it up to a bad experience. Clean up, learn to be polite and try to get it right. read more

Son's favorite place. We tried again to order from this location, as they get it wrong 75% of the time. The female manager with the short white hair is rude to the point of offensive. When you point out the error, she argues. She knows that my order is frequently wrong. She says things like "just don't come back!" How is this allowable? read more

Went thru drive-in and ordered one scoop special. Told it was $1.02 please drive up. When we got to window the price became $2.57. Told server order window said $1.02. He said he could do nothing about it. Asked for manager. Michael came to window. Said the order taker was mistaken. That was yesterday price. He also said he could do nothing. Not true he could have honored his employee's mistake. Not at all customer friendly. But who cares I am just one customer who will not be back. If you have a good experience you may tell two or three people but have a bad experience and I will share it with many. read more
