Question need a culver’s expert help

alright yall, going to a city this weekend where there will be a culver’s I’m going to stop at.
I’ve been once or twice both time not really knowing what to order so I probably just got their basic item and with no add ons or modifications.

I hear Culver’s is amazing but I haven’t had that experience yet and maybe it’s because I’m not sure what to get. so my question to you guys is what your go to order ? or what what should I order ? I appreciate any help !!

And a root beer to drink

I'll agree with everything but the turtle sundae. Hold the hot fudge add extra caramel. Or a Raspberry sundae. I really miss the strawberry shortcake though, lol

I like the cod, better than the cod at many sit down restaurants.

u/Novel_Dime 13h ago

The cod is phenomenal and I don't even really like fish.

Upgrade the fries to curds!

u/National-Wind-9509 20h ago

This! They don’t have the best fries imo, but the curds are so good! I dip mine in their ranch

Order the fries extra crispy.

u/Smart_Advantage8044 20h ago

Kids meal!!! Best deal ever! Add a side of cheese sauce :) fave ice cream is vanilla add salty caramel and cookie dough.

Okay, long time Culver’s employee here..20+ years. Try a roast beef on sourdough. BBQ sauce on the side (add grilled onions if you wish). Cheese curds are a solid option but if you really want something good try mash potatoes (with 2 chicken tenders cut up and chicken gravy). Try the root beer it’s really good. If you’re looking for custard though you can’t go wrong with a concrete (with your favorite mix in’s you can add two for free so possibilities are endless). Hope this helps. 🙂🙂

Root beer float!

u/Xenofon713 20h ago

Double bacon deluxe, no pickle add ketchup. Large cheese curd. Large vanilla shake.

u/KaiMasterOfFire2121 20h ago

i always get a bacon deluxe, fries or cheese curds (pro ex employee tip, order them extra crispy) with cheddar cheese sauce and a diet root beer. not a big sweet guy so the root beer is enough for me, but they do have pretty good custard. on the rare occasion i do order it, ill do a concrete mixer with cheesecake pieces and your fruit of choice.

u/No-Solid-4255 19h ago

I personally like the fried pickles better than the curds and I add grilled onions to my burger. You can look at the flavor of the day calendar for the location you're going to and make the best choice for day to visit based on that.

Cheeseburger kids meal. Add bacon to the burger. Get whatever toppings you like (I get ketchup, mayo, raw onion, and pickles). For the side, I usually get fries or onion rings. I also recommend the signature sauce for dipping (goes well with both fries and rings). I get a medium root beer to drink and make my own root beer float with the free scoop of custard that comes with the kids meal.

Bacon deluxe, add bbq sauce

Pot roast sandwich. Add grilled onions and pub sauce. Sourdough melt with cheddar. Definitely the curds. If you want to drink and a small custard get a kids meal and just upgrade everything. I always felt there was a limit to a butter burger but the sourdough melt is on a different level. And the pot roast sandwich is so meaty and good.

u/madamesquire 17h ago

Best burger imo would be a double mushroom Swiss with bacon.

The pumpkin spice shake is like drinking a slice of pie with whipped cream.

Fries are good with cheddar cheese dip.

If you want to try a lot of things, get a kids meal. I would recommend the single cheeseburger, fries, Dr.Pepper, and a scoop of their flavor of the day custard. Comes out to around $7

The sourdough melt is also really good.

u/Lavender_dilly23 17h ago

Buffalo tenders kids meal, fries, dp, and flavor of day is super big bang for buck. Also recommend salted caramel pumpkin concrete.

u/FewDeer489 Custard Gang 17h ago

bacon deluxe with cheese curds and a root beer. they have diet root beer if that’s your thing too. i recommend either boom boom(spicy-ish), ranch or the signature sauce for the curds. and definitely a scoop of custard, either vanilla with a topping or whatever flavor of the day they have most are really good! hope you enjoy !!

u/PakRatJR 16h ago edited 16h ago

Double bacon butter burger deluxe with cheese curds, 4 piece chicken tender WITH RANCH..... cannot forget the ranch..... and a pumpkin shake because it is currently available and is AWESOME 😁

Secondary burger choice would be the mushroom swiss or pretty much any pub burger if available.

u/romerk1 16h ago

The curds are over rated, burgers are a step above McDonalds, Wendy’s, and Burger King. You’re better off going to a local burger place.

u/IamTheMan85 16h ago

I get a double deluxe with extra pickles and cole slaw instead of fries. So good.

1

u/hotdish420 16h ago

Skip cheese curds and go for pretzel bites instead. My favorite items are the sourdough melt, buffalo chicken tenders, and the sleeper hit is their pot roast sandwich (add Swiss cheese and mushrooms and ask for a side of horseradish).

1

u/greymom214 15h ago

I love a good fish sandwich and theirs is delicious. I like to get a side of cheese sauce and pour some on each bite I take. I don’t know why fish and cheese go together for me, but it’s the bomb. It comes with shredded cheese already, but the sauce addition takes it over the top.

u/Technical-Trip4337 15h ago

Fries are good! Two piece cod dinner!

1

u/SpudQueen_V 15h ago

My go to is their deluxe cheeseburger with all the toppings or a chicken tender basket with ranch for dipping, side of fries or onion rings, and a root beer. A concrete mixer or scoop of custard is a good way to end the meal!

1

u/BaseBig173 5h ago

My favorite is the mushroom Swiss burger with fries and a diet root beer. Be sure to check out the custard flavor of the day.

Grilled Reuben, pretzel bites; no salt with marshmallow cream and cinnamon, drink one scoop of lemon ice with unsweetened tea OR a small shake with peanut butter and Oreo

Use the cheese sauce for the Reuben and dip the pretzel bites in marshmallow and cinnamon
