Culver’s Restaurant

This the second time I have been here before 9 and they’re stacking chairs. They’re open til 10. I love their food but I feel like they’re rushing me out. This is a management thing. I can’t imagine owners or corporate would like this.
Service is always good. Food excellent.
But don’t like being pushed out.

This little burger joint up the road from the Marriot is an easy in and quick out. After you have been on a series of flights and just want to get to your room. I will stop in once or twice a visit to the area when pressed for time.
The kitchen area is well staffed. So put your order in, take your number, and find a place to sit. They will bring your food out to you. While you wait this is a good time to get napkins, fill your drink, and fiddle with your phone if eating alone.
Burgers are made to order. So consider what you want on the burger before walking up to the counter. I like the cheese curds myself but they tend to overcook them a bit at this location. The cheese should spill out of its crusty encasing. If you have to chase after it that was to much heat. Milwaukee does cheese curds unlike anyplace on earth. Oh man. Kentucky is still learning a few tricks.
One burger will do it for most people. This is no McDonalds. Be prepared for a substantial meal and good portions. I go in wanting a SMALL sundae but can never find the room for it by-​myself. If you have someone with you be sure to enlist there help. Because it is GOOD.

Decided to try Culver’s for the first time while in Owensboro on business. Went through the drive thru. Long wait, all I can say is this is just another burger joint. Burger was good but not great, crinkle fries I could buy at Kroger. Not sure about all the butter hype must just up the fat content as it did little for the flavor. Would go back but with much lower expectations.

I don’t recommend their New Southwest Chicken Sandwich. The chicken literally only covered ½ the bun. It was a bad day there all around. The fries were like warmed, raw potatoes.

Wow! Everything we tried was delicious. From the concrete mixer to the cheese curds to the burgers, it was really a cut above just about any other fast food I’ve had.
We stopped by here since I like to go to local places when I travel, rather than going to the same place I’ve eaten 100 times. I wish this place were available elsewhere, though — it’s just too delicious.
Cheese curds are like a less oily version of mozzarella sticks, and available as part of a combo (for an upcharge) — winning! And the mushroom and Swiss burger was fantastic, too — savory, sizeable, and a great blend with the condiments.
Lastly, their custard is of course delicious too, being one of the things they’re famous for. I got Oreo and cookie dough mixed in a concrete mixer, and that ended up being a fanatic, sugar-​coma-​inducing combo.
It’s a little bit more expensive than your average fast food place, but not a lot, and the difference is more than worth it.

I want to love my hometown Culvers, but I can’t. I’ve been coming to this location since it opened years ago. Management was always nice & friendly & the employees really cared about helping the customers. It’s been about a year or so ago since I’ve noticed the decline in service & quality food at this location.
I’ve been here about 5 times since my last review, trying to give it a second chance. I get frustrated every time I leave. If it’s not subpar food, it’s subpar service. A few days ago I went through the drive thru & got a short raspberry concrete mixer & a mini m&m one. The employee at the window didn’t greet me or anything. Nathan just barked the total & gave me two cups & were covered in custard & gave me my debit card back. From the look of his uniform, he was one of the management team. I would hope that they would be more friendly.
Both of the concrete mixers barely had any toppings in them. The m&m mixer looked like vanilla custard with about 5 mini m&ms in it.
All in all I wish they would retrain or clean house. I wished this Culvers was back to the way it was when it opened.

I can never say «No» to Culver’s!
After stopping in for dinner though, I was somewhat disappointed with the service here. It would appear (Being Summer and all) that the employees were largely teens looking for extra money. They seemed to be a more discombobulated bunch than I am used to at Culver’s. It took longer to get the food, and when it did come the Cheese Curds I ordered were replaced with Onion Rings. I pointed out the error and was promised some Cheese Curds, but they never materialized (Bonus: The Onion Rings are pretty good)
I WOULD stop in again though, nothing that hasn’t happened at every other fast food joint I’ve ever been to.

Best fried chicken ever! I always get the breasts only, and they have big Dolly Pardon chicken breasts! Great flavor, crispy outside, tender and juicy inside. Dont care much for the green beans, but everything else is okay. Really good burgers, too, in case you get tired of the half-​wits at McDonald’s, who couldn’t get an order right if their lives depended on it, or get the condiments and cheese ON the sandwich instead of hanging all over the outside! Good Lord, it’s not rocket science! They must stand 10 feet away and just give the sh** a fling! That’s just the tip of the iceberg as far as my McDonald complaints, but I will have to rest up my fingers before I review them! Culvers has really good, hot crinkle-​cut fries, too, that are just like I remember from mom-​n-​pop diners of «the good ol’ days!»

This culver’s has never disappointed. Friendlyservice, hot/​fresh food, and damn good.

Hands down the best hamburger in Owensboro. The Butterburger melts in your mouth! Concrete Mixers are to die for, I can’t even talk about it.
