| - This review covers lunch at one location (Tempe) and dinner at another (Scottsdale). The experiences were similar. We didn't try the ice cream.
As far as meals are concerned, it is tempting to call Culver's a fast food hamburger joint, similar to McDonald's, Wendy's, etc. In general, this is a fair comparison because Culver's menu (posted on a screen above the cashiers), burger offerings, non-burger offerings, sides, etc. are very much the same as you would find in any such establishment.
But there are many differences in detail. At Culver's:
The seating is better and partly separate from the serving area.
They bring the food to your table.
The burgers are bigger, less compacted, and tastier.
Everything is freshly cooked and hot.
When they put an extra on a sandwich, like mushrooms or onions, they use a lot of it.
It is just slightly more expensive (better value).
If you don't really care for hamburger joints, try Culver's. But be careful not to burn your mouth on the hot food (no kidding).
