Picking up a friend from Des Moines airport and I finally see there's one right by there. We stop -we go to the drive-through. The options are extensive and we get burgers and fries. They mess up my burger and put ketchup and pickles and all the stuff I don't like, but it was still good. And my friend burger whose order was perfect said it was amaze. 4 starts because they messed up my order. It's good. But not cheap. Culver's quality and diversity of menu makes it a yes though.

I grabbed a nice window seat to relax and enjoy the vibe. The service was 10/10. I ordered a Medium Malt ($5.69) and loved that they let me customize it with some delicious add-ins. I went with the Chocolate Chip and OREO cookie mix, and it was a total win! It arrived in just a few minutes and was as fresh and tasty as it gets. If you want excellent service and a high-quality treat in a comfortable setting, this is the spot. I'll definitely be back for another round!

I would also recommend to watch their social media pages as they offer rotating weekly sandwiches.

Of course many have selective taste and the spices used as well as custom play a huge role. The greeting was friendly and upbeat. The surround decor was clean and mod with character. Parking was easy spacious and plentiful in with a wrap around drive thru. At issue is the price $$ for a batter dipped piece of chicken or crab Rangoon that was a tad salty, but flavorful. Would I take a road trip for another taste of what I can find in the Des Moines area probably not, but you may want to give it a try.

Definitely a no-frills type of meal. I ordered the pork Luau "dish" and Mr W ordered the Huli Huli chicken. The Luau is very mushy as if it was sitting in juices for a long time. The Huli Huli was ok. Tasted like teriyaki chicken. Everything came out within 5 minutes. I guess it was already prepared and not cooked to order. I wasn't impressed. Presentation was lacking. Food tasted fine. It wasn't anything extraordinary or different. It's not the type of flavors I was expecting or really craving like when I was in Hawaii. The restaurant was clean. Service was nice. Quick. It would be an inviting place in the summer with all the Hawaiian decor. Coming out on a winter day, it didn't feel Hawaiian-like.
