Honestly, nothing to write home about. Everyone kept telling me how great this place was. It seemed quite average to me. I am a hardcore Five Guys fan, this place just didn’t cut it. I got the basic double cheese w/fries.

This place is miles ahead of the rest of the fast food competition. Its bright, clean, FRESH and has high quality ingredients for fair prices. A few of my favorite things from this quick service restaurant is anything with their fresh Wisconsin cheddar cheese, their side salads with crisp cucumbers, croutons, cheddar, carrots and tomatoes, deluxe butter burgers with all the fixins’, their amazing Culver’s root beer, and their delicious, thick, flavorful chocolate custard. Forget DQ’s Blizzards, get a Concrete Mixer, in fact, forget any restaurant’s poor excuse for an ice cream treat and get a custard sundae with your choice of over 20 toppings(fresh fruits, peanut butter, butter scotch, four different types of nuts, hot fudge, whipped cream to name just a few). And burgers? Ha! forgetaboutit, their fresh, made to order burgers with Wisconsin cheddar on a buttery bun with fresh veggies is about as good as it gets fast food wise and always leaves me busting at the seams. They also offer vegetarian options, such as a veggie burger, which my bosses rave about at work. Their sides are the best in their category, fresh onion rings, cheese curds with marinara, crinkle cut fries, side salads, soups and chilis. All excellent choices(albeit, not the best for your heart). This store is very clean, quick and friendly. The food is brought to one’s table when its ready with the number system. Overall: If you can’t stand the thought of another Big Mac and cold fries, or less than fresh Whopper and watery coke, do yourself a huge flavor(ha! get it?) and stop by here, take a seat, order a burger with everything that you could want on it, some Wisconsin cheese curds, custard and root beer and be satisfied with fast food for once. Just know that your heart and arteries are going to be taking one for the team. *The only reason for four stars — their classic crinkle cut fries are typically overdone or a little too old.

Culver’s is absolutely amazing. Their ice cream is hard to resist considering they use real cream and it’s all fine and dandy until you start counting calories and fat grams. Which in the long run the ice cream is worth it in flavor! I made it out of there without any of that magnificent cream or other sweet treats today. I just got the Bacon Butter Burger and I subbed french fries for cheese curds(because who doesn’t want cheese dropped in a deep fryer!!!). I’m sure subbing the curds cost me some extra cash but how can you put a price on flavor? Really? Ya just can’t do it! Their cheese curds are always hot and fresh, dip those into some marinara sauce and you’re instantly transported to this wonderland where the trees are made of cheese and the rivers are red with that sauce! So so good! The butter burger was only barely warm when I got around to eating it(which was not their fault, it’s the fact that I was working and eating at my desk, plus those cheese curds just had to go first!) so I didn’t get the full magical goodness that it usually is, but it was still very good. Plenty of lettuce, onions, pickles and sauce(would have been some tomatoes too but I wasn’t feeling like I wanted them). The ratio of condiments and veggies on a burger can get out of hand at some places but it was on fleek at Culver’s! The bacon was crispy but still kinda floppy which to me is the perfect marriage. The food(and those dangerous sweet ice creams and shakes) are killer! The wait for my food was a little long in my opinion, however they were busy and it was during lunch hour so I can let it go considering the food came out hot and all the employees had a smile on their face while being patient while I squinted at the menu for a few minutes because I left my glasses back on my desk. The location is fantastic as well! Here are just a few reasons why: 1. It’s super close to my job so I can drive there in a couple of minutes. 2. It’s easy to access from either behind the building or if you are coming off of Veteran’s Parkway. 3. It’s right there on Veteran’s Parkway which is(finally) gaining quite a bit of business on the Jeffersonville side. 4. They have a cute little outdoor seating area where you can sit and enjoy your food or ice cream that, unfortunately I haven’t been able to sit at yet, but when I have more time(like after work one day maybe?) I am for sure going to enjoy one of those dangerous treats they serve! Visit for the butterburgers, but for sure stay for the cheese curds and ice cream!

This is NOT your clown or King or little girl with red pigtails fast food burger joint. I used to think Steak n’ Shake was the place for real burgers on a grill. Not anymore. Culver’s is the next big step up from S n’ S. I’m not saying their food is the healthiest meal you could eat, but dang, it’s real good, quality, fresh ingredients cooked old school. Come for the burgers and stay for the ice cream!

Delicious burgers and fantastic mixers. I tried the caramel apple pumpkin spice concrete mixer today and it is the stuff dreams are made of.

The food was pretty good, nothing awesome. The service was good. The bun was dry and crumbling but the meat had good flavor. Love the root beer it is awesome.

I was very pleasantly surprised by Culver’s. I wasn’t expecting much, but found the food and service to be very good. I had the traditional Culver’s Deluxe, which is two hamburger patties, cheese and toppings like lettuce, tomato, etc. The patties are thin, but with a great charred taste; similar to steak burgers. The sandwich tasted very fresh. I was apprehensive about the fries, because crinkle fries are often delivered soggy or not uniformly cooked. Culver’s nails it though, with hot fries that are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and had a great taste. The restaurant is clean and well kept. The service, for what it is of taking your order and bringing your tray of food to the table was brisk but friendly. The prices are south of 5 Guys, but more expensive than your typical fast food joint. You get better quality for your dollar, though.

Granted, Culver’s is fast food, but they do their particular version well. You will see the usual glitches and carelessness caused by all the high school kids working there. However we go there regularly, try not to expect too much and usually enjoy ourselves. The fish dinner is the high point and everything else is solid. My wife enjoys the ice cream flavor of the day. Prices are reasonable for the quality offered.

Culver’s has been absolutely packed since they opened a couple of months ago, so my boyfriend and I finally decided that we should stop in and try it ourselves. This is a fast food restaurant where you order at the counter and then they deliver your order to your table. The food is slightly above average for fast food. The burger, while very thin and flimsy, had a char grilled taste and crisp edges. The grilled chicken sandwich came on a soft bun and had a hint of seasoning. However it didn’t come with any kind of sauce. I had to hunt down mayo packets near the drink station. Their crinkle fries were crispy on the outside, soft in the inside and very salty. We paid a $ 1 upcharge to add cheese curds to one of our value meals and they were slightly disappointing. Had they been served hot they probably would have been incredible, but they were only lukewarm when they arrived at the table. Overall though, the food is much better than most other fast food options. On our way out we decided to grab an ice cream to go. We were both fairly disappointed to realize that they only carry three flavors; vanilla, chocolate, and the«flavor of the day». If you want something other than just those three flavors you have to pay 2 – 3 times the cost of a scoop of ice cream to have them make their version of a blizzard or a sundae. We opted to get the flavor of the day which was a banana, chocolate, peanut butter concoction. The actual ice cream was extremely rich and creamy with a very pleasant mouth feel. I honestly can’t compare the velvety mouth feel to any other ice cream in the greater Louisville area. However, the banana base was extremely artificial tasting, like a cheap candy. Hopefully their other daily flavors have higher quality flavorings. Ultimately Culver’s is a fun new addition to the Jeffersonville food scene but I wouldn’t drive out of my way to eat there.
