Culver's greets you with the line "What can we make fresh for you today?" and they mean it.
Consistently is key. In my experience, this Culver's has it. The burgers are fresh and really flavorful, the tenders are fresh and fried well. When I'm wanting some quick fast food drive-thru fare, it's never a risk to go through Culver's. Other fast food joints are a crap shoot especially when it comes to fresh fries/nuggets! Automation can't come soon enough for places.
Once in a blue moon they might give you a trash chicken tendie, or forget to put an item in your bag. It's usually when you can see the employees being a little more rowdy than usual (days the boss isn't around?) but Culver's is definitely leagues better than every other fast food chain out there, where you're wasting money on hours old junk more than 50% of the time.
Back to the food, I'm a big fan of pretty much their entire menu. My regular, the Culver's deluxe double, is an A+ fast food burger. They offer a good variety of burgers aren't your jam- chicken and fish sandwiches, plus fried chicken and beef pot roast dinner plates. They also offer gluten free buns by way of the Udi's brand!
Honestly their fried Atlantic cod is surprisingly good- with tender yet crispy lightweight batter, and flaky buttery fish. Large portion too. You wouldn't expect to find good fish and chips type fare at a fast food burger place but there it is. Their custard is my favorite ice cream from anywhere. So velvety smooth! Italian ice with fresh fruit is lovely too.
Very glad I'm near a Culver's- one of the only places doing fast food right!
