Best fish sandwich ever . it's cooked to perfection it's a good size to fill your belly! The price is very reasonable for a fish sandwich. You order in line and take a seat. Within minutes your food is brought to you at the table your at. The staff always has a pleasant attitude and a smile. Culver's is always clean. Culver's also has a speedy drive thru system too. I always go back for that sandwich and more.

My first time at a Culver's. I really like the butterburger and the cheese curds. I would come back and try different menu items next time to find my favorites.

Culver’s has quickly become our #1 for burgers as we find the quality high and consistent! Made to order means hot and fresh and that’s what you get here. In addition the staff is well trained and very customer service focused. All in all a great fast food experience which is definitely elevated when compared to the other well known burger brands.

Take out order. David was so fast, professional, efficient and kind. Repeated my order back to me multiple times to make sure it was correct. I was in and out of there in under 3 minutes. I was just stunned like if he’s not the manager, he needs to be lmao. Oh, and food is great as per usual lol

Five-Star Review for Culver's Culver's has quickly become one of my favorite go-to spots for a consistently delicious meal! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by friendly staff and a clean, welcoming atmosphere that makes you want to sit down and stay awhile . The food is absolutely fantastic. Their signature ButterBurgers are made with fresh, never frozen beef and cooked to perfection – seared on the grill and served on a lightly buttered, toasted bun . I highly recommend the Culver's Deluxe, which comes with fresh toppings and melty American cheese. It's simply the best burger around ! But the real star of the show? The Fresh Frozen Custard! Made in small batches throughout the day, it's incredibly rich and creamy . Their Concrete Mixers, blended with your choice of mix-ins, are a dessert lover's dream . If you're a root beer fan, you absolutely must try theirs – it's based on a house recipe and tastes just like the old-fashioned root beer from childhood . The menu has something for everyone, from their hand-battered North Atlantic Cod dinner to Wisconsin Cheese Curds supplied by a family farm . Everything is cooked to order and served hot and fresh . Whether you're craving a juicy burger, creamy custard, or just a friendly place to eat, Culver's delivers every single time. Five stars without hesitation

I went through the drive through and the experience was superb. I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich meal. The food was fresh, hot and delicious as well as more than I was expecting in portion sizes. This was my very first time ever at a Culver's. I was working at a sister store of my employer across the highway and one of the employees there suggested them for a local lunch. Now I wish we had one closer to my hometown because I'd totally choose it over any of the options I currently have. 10/10 will done again! Culver's, please consider adding a location in Lake Wales.
