Ice cream was awesome, and workers are polite and friendly. Thanks for the pup cups and dog treats.

Aw man. Best hand dipped ice cream I've had in a long time. So sad I'm just passing through town. It would become a favorite regular spot.

Delicious ice cream, outdoor seating primarily, and a fun cow out front! The workers were friendly as well.

The worker was very rude. They sell "giftcards" that expire within two months. We will go to Carmen's Cafe for ice cream from now on.

10/10 would highly recommend. If you need a snack at night this is a good place to go.

For a cocktail or bottle of wine Id guess they meet expectation. The food menu is very limited. The…read morefood was mid to low quality. We ordered appetizers a calzone ( burnt in on end, blackened on the bottom -bitter tasting) and a sandwich ( warm, chips oily and soggy). It seems like there are only 2-3 staff working on a graduation / Mother's Day weekend ???? Service was slow but these folks were clearly overwhelmed. They were polite and apologetic for the food preparation time. There were very few folks there so they weren't slammed busy and overwhelmed, just overwhelmed. We likely won't be back. $325 Dinner and drinks bill and any chain place with mid quality drinks and food ( Chilis, Applebee's, Cheddars, ) would be 1/2 the cost and clearly better. An upscale place ( Flame, Texas Roadhouse, Outback) would be a way bether choice for comparable money. The Venue is stunning and looks clean. Hopefully they get it together, or get someone in the space who can. Disappointed at best.

My favorite was the crimson eclipse. Food- 3/5. We ordered some appetizers and they were a little disappointing/did not match the description of the menu. The margarita pizza was a little spicy. Fruit and cheese plate had some nice jam, but the presentation was off. Crab cakes were small. Also, the menu on their website was slightly outdated. I would still recommend this location as it's very classy, great for groups, and plenty of parking. Service was excellent. Indoor and outdoor seating.

When I made it noticed All I received was a voucher for two items replaced and a scoop of ice cream to share, I guess. I have spent money many times at Culver's but will change my habit. I suggest anyone buying food to check it before you pull away! Also, as advised, be aware "you have 17 yr olds making your food and they aren't perfect "

If you have never had one, you are missing a mouth full of YUM! Last night, I went through the drive-thru and ordered my meal with special instructions. When I got home, I realized the order wasn't correct. I ate the fries and ice cream and counted it as a loss. Well, as I was returning from a trip this afternoon, I went by Culver's again. I was still needing that butter-burger itch scratched. Unfortunately, my order was made incorrect again. This time, I saved the burger, and after a brief nap, I drove back to Carbondale, determined to get my burger. As soon as I walked into the door, I was greeted by Manager De'Ante. I explained what had happened and asked for a replacement meal. I didn't want to go another day without that delicious burger. De'Ante repeated my order to ensure it would be done correctly, then told his team to begin the preparation of my meal. I am happy to report that the Culver's team got it right this time! We all have bad days, so I try to grant grace when something goes awry, and I love it when a restaurant is responsive and willing to correct its mistakes. Not only did I get my food hot and fresh, but unlike when I went through the drive-thru, I could see how beautiful the restaurant was inside. I was impressed with the accessibility and cleanliness as well. As you can see from the attached photos, the restaurant and lot are clean, well-lit, and extremely inviting. I recommend you go to Culver's for a delicious meal. When you stop in, tell them Kindra Speech sent you!

I've been eating here for 7 years. The last 3 of 4…read morevisits...they weren't right; but I let them slide... Tonight after a 5.5hr drive back from Chicago. Tired, hungry...just wanted to eat. I specifically asked for Fernando to serve me (I saw he was there)...speaks perfect English and always gets my order right. I was denied his service because it was close to closing time (30-minutes) - I arrived at 9:30. I asked for a half order of "perfect chicken" and a guacamole salad. She (the other server) told me that it would be a $4 upcharge. "It's just a dollop of guac" she said. I showed her on the menu where it came with the Pollo Mexicano (close enough). She just shrugged her shoulders. So I decided not to get it...it would've been wrong anyway. I got the bill for $10, the menu says 1/2 order is $9...so I made her go get a menu and show her. Second time this has happened. Later Fernando asked me to pre-pay my bill to close out the register. Then another server came by and asked to take my plate away...I said "I'm not quite finished" (never asked if I wanted a to go box) she pulled out her iPhone and showed me that it was 10:01. I paid...I left my military discount card on the plate under broccoli and cheese sauce. 15% off isn't worth being treated like shit!
