Culvers

This place, like any other fast food joint was VERY upsetting. Imagine this, my first time here and the experience wasn’t a good one, huh imagine that, they sure know how to make a first impression count! I ordered something very simple; four piece chicken tenders (too salty) ended up getting three anyways. One side cheese curds which i didnt get to try at all since they werent in the bag and three sauces which one was missing (alright fine but if i got charged for it then that matters.) I didnt look in the bag till the next day because im extremely busy taking care of school and other things so i just left it for lunch the coming day (which also means i couldnt call in till a few days later to «discuss an extremely petty» matter with someone, i honestly have more important things to do.) The fact the manager couldnt give me my money back, AT LEAST my curd side was pretty damn absurd, especially seeing as i got charged nearly $ 10 for this!!! lets not even get started on the fact i dont have a job currently so fast food is the way to go right now and this is how i get treated. This sure didnt hit home in the right areas ill tell you that.

Years ago I went to a burger place in Wisconsin that was «fast food» but one of the tastiest burgers I’d ever had. I couldn’t remember what that place was called until someone said «Culvers?» and told me there were some in Colorado.
SCORE!
I now live just north of this Culvers so I go here on occasion for their mouth watering butter burgers, great crinkle cut fries, and of course, their creamy root beer that beats even A&W.
Their service is always friendly-you’ll sometimes have to wait a little bit longer for your food in the drive thru, but trust me, it’s worth it.
You can rely on Culvers for hot, tasty as hell, above-​average but priced similarly food and good service. It’s even worth going a little out of the way to check it out!

Best fast food burger available in Denver by far. Cheese curds are awesome. Frozen custard is awesome.

Hands down this place is really good… The quality of food is without a doubt the best in the «fast food «industry. Every time i have visited this location the staff has always been very nice and super accomidating. Which is appreciated! The only reason I didn’t give it a five star is I feel it is a little spendy. I ordered a four piece chicken deal and it was like $ 8or $ 9 dollars. The pic that drew me in didn’t have a price so i figured $ 4 maybe $ 5. Just a little shocked. I know they do send out coupons from time to time, better keep those with me for next time!
Thank you Culver for «raisin the bar» in fast food quality!

Ice cream… amazing!!! Definitely worth checking out! Took my 3 children for an after school treat, they really enjoyed it!

Hey what can I say, upscale fast food done right. Nothing to complain about. I’m a Wisconsin native so I have been around Culvers for a loooong time and I must say I notice no difference in the quality. Only problem is its less than a mile away from my office. I go there far too much.

Love this place, crispy edge, thin burgers. Always fresh and consistent. Grew up on steak and shake but this place blows it away burger-​wise. The meat just tastes way better. Everyone makes a big deal out of the butter but they only butter the bun. All you have to do is say no butter. One of my favorite burger places. I’ll drive
way outta my way to go here. Custard is quite good as well.

We enjoyed our meal. First time we have been here, it was great. We went thru the drive thru where we were greeted with friendliness and professionalism. We had a brief wait but was worth the wait. We enjoyed our bacon double cheeseburgers value basket which included fries and a drink which came to just under $ 17.

I’ve been to Culvers once before but in Colorado Springs. My wife and I were somewhat disappointed. My wife’s Cod Fish sandwich was not very flavorful. The breading tasted like the shortening or oil in the deep fryer. The sandwich was also very dry. It was not a good sandwich. My wife had eaten a fish plate at this store before and it was very good. She was hoping the sandwich would be as good but it certainly wasn’t.
I had a cheddar double butterburger with bacon. The burger patties were cooked to the point that they were crispy. At the same time, the bun was soggy. Flavorwise, it was okay but otherwise it was disappointing. I ordered onion rings with my burger but I got fries but didn’t realize it until after we had left the drive-​thru.
As for the fries, I suspect that Culvers makes their own and double fries them. I suspect that, because they were busy, they might have just fried them once for a longer time. Unfortunately, this just doesn’t work. What you get is a fry that is pretty much hard all the way through.
I really enjoyed Culvers when I first went to one but I don’t think I’ll be going back to this one.

Cheese curds! Say no more but I have to because Unilocal makes me. If you’re from Wisconsin you’re right at home with the delicious butter burgers and shakes that are so awesome. This place rocks the fast food burger and don’t even consider it fast food because of the friendly staff and excellent food.

The burgers were decent. Not what we expected especially for the price. Wasn’t too expensive but it was for the food we got. could of gone to BurgerKing for better food and less amount of money. Doubt I’ll go back.

Culver’s still holds the gold medal for Fried Cheese Curds in my book! Order them, devour them, be happy :)

They are always so polite here! Especially when you go through the drive threw. I have yet to find a place that serves something better than the strawberry cheesecake mixup… but don’t forget the cheesecake pieces on top!

So I was excited when I found out Culvers had a gluten free bun and fries and couldn’t wait to try the place. Well, the anticipation was muuuch better than the reality.
First you took a perfectly good Udi’s GF bun and microwaved it. You know how I know? They actually had the audacity to bring it out to me still in the plastic wrapper that they microwaved it in. Looked like a burger from 7 – 11. Tasted worse. The «patty» came out separate from the bun and I had to assemble it myself. For some reason I thought that was included in the price of the food. Apparently assembly is extra at Culvers.
The patty was steamed, or maybe microwaved as well but certainly didn’t seem grilled. All together it lumped up to be a terrible burger on a microwaved bun that I had to assemble myself.
Oh and the fries taste like the ones that came from my school lunches.
Thanks but no thanks Culvers. Smashburger or Larkburger do a much better job.

First time I’ve been here ! My son in-​law suggested the place, they are like a Country store and kitchen. The food was good, so I will be back.

We ordered the Spicy Chicken Tenders w/​Blue Cheese Dressing and a side of Cheese Curds as well as the Culver’s Bacon Deluxe Meal w/​fries.
The fries were good but lacked salt, thankfully that was on the table so that took care of that. The cheese curds were interesting… they had a good crispy outside but the breading to cheese ratio was off, there was so much breading that you barely tasted the cheese curd.
My boyfriend had the burger and said it tasted good but that’s about all the detail I have on that.
The tenders, you can tell, are definitely frozen tenders so not the freshest quality. I felt their advertising for «Fresh Fried Chicken to Go» was a little misleading as it is apparently different chicken than the tenders? The level of spice in the buffalo sauce they use is fine but it was mainly heat over flavor.
The establishment itself is cute in that it reminds me of an old-​school sit down place before fast food became what it is today.
This is just down the street from our house so we are willing to give it another go out of convenience and I definitely want to try their frozen custard but I won’t be ordering the tenders or cheese curds again.
Overall, it’s fine but it will never leave me craving for my next visit to Culver’s…

My family and I have been here a few times now & we have yet to be disappointed. In fact our kids kids were cheering in the car as we pulled in. I had been carving a decent cheeseburger all day & this hit the spot. We haven’t ventured off the menu from cheeseburgers yet but mainly since they’re so good. But next time I think I’ll give the bbq pork a try. We did get onion rings to share which we good, nice & crispy.
The kids meals come with a scoop of ice cream with one topping, which of course they all love. I ordered a reese’s cup mixer which was also good.
The employees are very kind & helpful and even had a sense of humor and a smile. There’s a large dinning area that is roomy & clean.
This isn’t the closest place for us but we will definitely be back soon.

Who doesn’t like a good butter burger? Well, vegetarians for one I suppose. Who doesn’t like a good crinkle cut fry? Well, last time I was at Del Taco, I didn’t (fries at a Mexican place?!). Who doesn’t like a friendly staff that delivers your order to your table? Oh, forget it. Culvers is a transplant fast food burger joint that has that «land of dairy» feel. Custards for desert, butter burgers, I wouldn’t be too surprised if the fries were cooked in butter. I like to order a side of butter just to flex my awesome American consumer muscles. I try not to over do it, and the fact that this place is really far from where I live is a good thing. I almost forgot, they have fried cheese curds here which aren’t at all bad. Get your butter on at Culvers.

Since moving to Denver from the Seattle area we’ve been searching for a well-​crafted burger. Our search is over, thanks to Culvers.
3-​trips in 10-​days and each has been consistently flavorful, well executed, and delivered with outstanding service.
My husband and I have tried: the shaved prime rib sandwich (excellent), mushroom Swiss burger (equally outstanding), bacon burger (my husband’s favorite), fish sandwich (good) and both standard & sweet potato fries.
The fries are crinkle-​cut and that wonderful blend of crispy outside, tender inside.
Oh — and the fried cheese curds are not to be missed. We’ve not had them before and they are a fried treat.
Our experience with other restaurants have been food lacking in flavor. Hello… salt anyone? Maybe some pepper? It’s as if there is a geographical moratorium on spices. Sorry, Denver… spicy chiles are not the only flavor everyone appreciates.
A big thank you to Culvers for restoring our faith in flavorful restaurant food. You are our new go-​to fast, casual restaurant.

Its more like 3.5 stars for the variety they offer and since we were in the neighborhood, Hubs wanted to have a LATE Dinner here. That evening was on Thursday September 5^th 2013. Time was at about 20:17hrs.
There are a couple of seats at the Patio, aka OUTSIDE.
Yes you order at the counter, and once you are done ordering, they gave you a «number counter». Hubs and I choose to seat at one of the booths, where Hubs can catch the FOOTBALL Game (BRONCOS VS RAVENS) that evening.
Hubs told me, this Diner reminds him of the «Old School» Diner he had been before, growing up throughout the US. Yes they have the Fountain Drink Dispenser, the standard — Ketchup, Mustard Dispenser and all the plastic cutlery you need which was situated at the center of this establishment. Culver’s made their OWN Root Beer, offer different kind of «Flavor Of The Day» Desserts and Specials Of The Day Menu.
From what I could recall we order these items :
* Butter Burger Basket with Fries and Medium Fountain Drink ($ 7.09)
* Cod Fillet Basket with Fries and Medium Fountain Drink ($ 8.09)
* Curd Cheese ($ 3.67)
* 1 Side Of Jalapenos ($ 0.25)
Total cost for the Dinner was $ 20.75 with tax.
About 20:30hrs ish, then our food order was sent to our table.
The Side of Jalapenos are the ones which are already pickled. I was hoping for the fresh cut Jalapenos. Oh Well…
Personally, my order of Cod Fillet was just A-​OK. The Cod Fillet Basket comes with Lightly Butter Toasted Hoagie Roll, the Cod Fillet, Tartar Sauce, Shredded Lettuce and Cheddar. The tartar sauce inside the Cod Fillet, was too little for my liking, but at least my food came out piping hot, aka means they cook to order and NOT leaving the food «standing» at the food warming tray. The Fries the Crinkle Cut Fries, NOT to my liking, but Hubs like his Fries this way ALOT!
Hubs like his Burger though its a kind of norm portion for him. He opt to have the Butter Burger. Cannot recall which one though. He also like the Curd Cheese way better than I do. Coz I don’t grow up eating Curd Cheese, so I don’t really fancy those as much as Hubs.
That evening maybe due to the FOOTBALL Game, and perhaps at that hour, the Dining area was so quiet, though there are a few more Patrons deciding to have their Dinner, while we were there.
This Culver’s has a DRIVE-​THRU which was pretty busy that evening from my observation. Might return when needed since they offer More Variety and since Hubs like this kind of establishment.
