The guy who gave me my food and cooked it seemed a lot friendlier and gave me a smile. The food was just not good. I hate to be harsh but the taste was off. My boyfriend agreed that something just did not taste right. I appreciate them cooking it right then and there, so I was expecting a good taste but did not receive that. If there are better choices in the area, i recommend going to them any day. for improvement, the staff needs to be friendlier and more inviting!! i've seen that in a couple other of their reviews too!

Two days ago I came off the street and pulled right up to the drive through order speaker. There was one car at the cashier window waiting for food. The cashier said "I'll be with you in a minute." I sat at the order menu for 12 minutes before they took my order, with the car leaving the cashier window about 5 minutes into my wait. As I was waiting to place my order, two different cars pulled up behind me that both drove off after waiting to order and by the time I ordered there were five cars behind me with one partially blocking the right lane of Brickton Rd. in front of the business. When I got to the cashier window, no one was there. 6-7 minutes later someone came to the window took my money and around 7-8 minutes later I got my food. As I was driving off I noticed that the five cars behind me were still waiting to place their order. So, 26 minutes to get my order (one burger) and leave. This happened at 2pm. I'm guessing they had a situation where they were under staffed )someone didn't show up for work, scheduling issue...). I do fast food about once a month and this is one of two places I go. I'll give it another try to see if this visit was just an anomaly.

So my meal of a specialty hamburger, fries and a Coke plus a specialty milkshake was less than $11. The hamburger was amazingly small. I liked the flavor of the milkshake although it lacked texture. The french fries could have been hotter but they were okay. There's ample parking at this location and the restaurant seemed clean enough. But the outside really looked like it had been ridden hard and put away wet and needed a trim. Maybe I'm being unfair, but I really expected a better experience from steak and shake than I would get at most other fast food restaurants. That really wasn't the case. Unlike other reviewers who had problems with service, I did not have that problem although they did seem somewhat understaffed.

All of us also got Cheese Curds and Culver's Root Beers. I'll have to admit I was a little nervous to try them because one of my family members had said they didn't like it, yet to be fair, they tried the seafood. When we walked in, there were the most amount of employees behind the counter that I've ever seen in a fast food restaurant. There were at least 20 or more people there working at once and the woman who took our order said it was to make sure they didn't get behind during rushes. But because of that many people being there, our food came out so quickly! The restaurant was super clean And there were a good amount of people eating there with more coming in quickly. Our burgers were delicious! The cheese curds were hot and fresh, the burgers and bacon were crispy, the veg was fresh, and the buns were soft. The only downside was that it was expensive...but it really was truly so good and I can't wait to be able to go back, and get another burger.

The service is really good and the food seems to be made much fresher than other fast food places which is most likely what is reflected in the prices. Unfortunately, the first time I went here i was disappointed. The chicken tenders were fresh but there was barely any meat inside of the tenders, they were super thin and not super crispy. The price for the chicken tenders was also super expensive for what you get in my opinion. 2/5 I came back today to try a kids meal that included a butterburger, fries, drink, and single scoop of custard. This meal was MUCH better than the chicken tenders by a mile. The price was super fair for the kids meal, the burger was fresh and tasty, the custard was amazing, and the service by the workers was fast and friendly. This visit sold me on Culver's when originally I was extremely disappointed by the restaurant. The inside of the restaurant was also super clean and I saw workers actively cleaning which was a huge plus as well. Overall, I would give this location a 4/5 since the kids meal was amazing, tasty, and a good value but the chicken tenders were disappointing.

Hungry at lunch the other day, I decided to give it a go. I dined in so that I could have it as fresh as possible, and ordered on my app in order to get five dollars off for being a new customer. The restaurant was clean and the employees were super nice! I wanted to try a little bit of everything so I ordered a Double Jalapeño Cheese slider, a Double American Cheese Slider, a Bacon & American Cheese Slider, a Crispy Chicken Slider, a Smoked Cheddar Slider and Fries. After using the savings in my app, the total came to a little over eight dollars! You can't beat that. The verdict is in... The winner is the crispy chicken slider hands down. Followed very closely by the Double Jalapeño Cheese Slider! I did love the smokiness of the smoked cheddar one too, but I like the double better. Next time, maybe I will get a double jalapeño a double smoked cheddar and a crispy chicken! The crinkle cut fries, are just crinkle cut fries. Next time I think I'll try a different side.
