    Interior
    Christopher B.

    Located off of University Pkwy on the way to the Bradenton/Sarasota airport, this Culver's gets 5 stars for cleanliness, taste, & good customer service. The interior is very well designed and cleaned routinely by one of the staff members. It is expected of the customer to dispose of their trash in the designated trash bins yet there is still someone that comes to routinely sweep and make sure the tables are in order. The same person is also responsible for stocking the condiment section next to the fountain machine, which gives the restaurant an overall model look of organization. The food is average for Culver's standards so everything tasted excellent and fresh. The peanut butter shake was correctly measured ingredient-wise with a hefty portion of peanut butter which rocked. The girl at the counter was nice and bilingual which was helpfully for some of the customers that only spoke one language. This was a great stop before a flight out of state and I appreciate how clean & of how well the store was taken care. I would recommend for anyone wanting to save a little change before a trip to the airport.

    First time at Culver's and we loved it! The service was friendly and welcoming, and the place was very clean. The burgers were fresh and flavorful, and the fries were perfectly crispy. Don't miss the custard ice cream! It was absolutely delicious. With lots of menu choices, this is definitely a go-to spot for the whole family!

    Butterburger and pretzel bites
    Andrew A.

    Was heading somewhere else for burgers, when I saw a billboard for this place and it looked good, so I changed course. I regretted my decision later. I ordered a butterburger value basket, and added the "thick bacon" they had advertised all over the restaurant. I'm not sure how my order came up to $16, and the person working had a hard time explaining it to me. This was the price of a gourmet burger at mid-tier restaurants, so I rolled with it thinking it might be amazing. It was not. The burger patties were super thin, small, and unseasoned. I couldn't taste any butter on the buns. They added a good amount of bacon, but it was certainly not "thick." The burger was not worth what I paid. The pretzel bites it came with were pretty good. The nacho sauce they came with was nothing special. The kids meal my daughter got was just a prepackaged applesauce with a boxed juice, and bland over cooked tiny chicken fingers. The only redeeming facet of this joint was the ice cream. It was real ice cream, and delicious.

    One of my favorite places for a burger in Sarasota. The fries are average however, the burger has a great flavor. I always order the double butter burger.

    I gave 3 stars because we have more than one time at Culvers located in Sarasota and they don't have chocolate ice cream.

When we pulled up at the ordering station and a young lady answered to take our order. I'm not sure if the speaker was going o but it was hard to understand if the Order was getting through. We finished ordering and got to the next window and we paid and waited for our food. Overall it took about 10minutes for our food to be ready when we got it we started pulling off as my husband was handing out everyone's food he noticed they didn't put his sandwich in the bag they put a burger instead so I pulled back around so he could go talk to them inside. He explained that they gave him the wrong sandwich and when he told them that they kept saying they definitely put it in the bag so he came back out checked our bag and the kids bag and of cno blt chicken... he went back in and told him which they said they were 100% sure it was in the bag at this point there was no way I could prove except if they wanted to search my car I was so shocked that they made him come back out to look again! I told him to please get a refund and we aren't coming back over a sandwich that could have been easily fixed! They did give us a refund thankfully but wow what a hassle over a sandwich.

That was my mistake this weekend. I decided to do the drive through and the people in front of me were the slowest people in the world!! It would have been better to just park and go in. Granted it was my first time using the drive through so maybe it's not always like that.

The chicken was alright at first but then I could tell soon enough that it was pretty salty. I didn't care for the additional sauce options.

There's no labels or signs that say what the item is. Unless u follow the menu word for word which is not possible when u have to decide faster.

Everything from having a gloves directly touching my food (thumbs in my food specifically) to rude and unsimpathetic management, to incorrect charges on my bill. The food is good. Best Mac and cheese ever. Unfortunately energy needs to shift. I'd start with a fresh manager and team and have an owner overseeing this facility more closely. It doesn't live up to the original location in Tampa. Update 6/3/26: came in to give another try. 3 fingers with gloves in my food as I was being served. I told the gentleman and he said "we have gloves on" as he was touching his screen for the order snd counter with the same gloves . Gloves mean nothing. I chose to leave and not eat here. Such a disappointment that they are so careless with cleanliness even after the issue has been ongoing and they have been made aware of it. Also if a customer is not happy with gloves I'm the food, you probably should just offer to replace the bowl and make it right but the employees don't care. *Owners take note* unfortunately your management doesn't care and you won't be aware of this ongoing issue.
