I got the papa gyro, which is chicken and gyro meat. The flavor was outstanding on both. Fries came out hot and also good flavor. We got the fried okra, and the regular was huge. Again great flavor and hot. Only thing I didn't care for was the meal came with a can of soda, my wife and I normally share the side and drink so a can was a little tough but not terrible. Seating is very limited, maybe 6 booths.

We ordered mashed potatoes, fried catfish, chicken strips, and chicken thighs. Fish was bland to me, but others liked it. The chicken strips were delicious and pretty fresh. My thighs were dried out, which was pretty disappointing. Service was fast, friendly, and efficient. If I was ever in the area again I'd stop back by here.

My dad also got a Butter burger, but he ordered his with a double patty and fries. As for service, they did take a little bit longer than I would have liked because we were on the road. The servers were also very friendly and made nice small talk with us. After we ate our meal, we moved on to custard. I got the vanilla with cookie dough chunks and my dad got his with vanilla and Heath Bar. A tip; since Culver's offers 4 sizes of custard, a small is not the smallest! The mini version is the perfect size if you want a small but- trust me! Another thing; if you already didn't know, Culver's does offer gluten free buns and Pup cups for dogs! Overall, nice fast food restaurant. Service was slightly on the slow side, but the servers were friendly. Not bad!

So I went in having never seen nor heard of this place and ordered up some egg rolls and egg foo young. It was ready in less than 10 minutes. I ate right there, in one of several booths while watching TV. The pork egg foo young was pretty pretty AVERAGE (but you get three per order, instead of the usual two, and plenty of gravy and pork (so it was filling). The egg rolls probably weren't homemade, they were just barely satisfying taste-wise (dousing them with sweet N' sour sauce and hot mustard helped)... My fortune cookie read: "Investigate new possibilities with friends. Now is the time".... So a little Interesting! I imagine their other menu choices are as good, or hopefully even better than what I had. If I come here again when I'm in the area, I'll try something else on the menu... I gave three stars because two seemed too low, really they're a two & half star place.

We also ordered the taco (3) combo with 2 chorizo and one carne asada taco with rice and beans. We also got a side order of rice and beans. This restaurant is pricey. The good - rice, beans, chorizo, carne asada tacos are good. The salsas they bring out to the table in bottles are good. The bad- birria tacos, chips and salsa. The birria tacos have a tiny amount of shredded beef and loads of greasy cheese. The meat has good flavor but you barely get any shredded beef! The chips are bland and the salsa is just liquid ( no texture) with some flavor. Tacos combo is 12 dollars, birria tacos combo is 15 dollars. I would recommend getting a taco combo (3) with 2 chorizo and 1 carne asada taco with rice and beans. I wouldn't recommend the birria tacos. The price is high for the amount of food that you get. Our lunch was 36 dollars without tip! Water only to drink.
