  Whenever I go to visit my brothers in Chicago I'd see signs for a place called Culver's. I left it as a mystery for many years, only to let the curiosity grow. So it was on my last visit to Chicago that I decided to learn about this place.
  
  My brothers were not too excited, but I chalked that up to the fact that they were immune as to them a Culver was no more special then lots of snow in the winter. They each had a Bacon Butter Burger, which I took a bite of. It was better then most fast food burgers, but not extraordinary as I hoped. The crinkle fries were awesome though, and glad to see them as they aren't commonly available. I tried a unique item, a Pot Roast sandwich, which was delicious but needed a bit more sauce, good but again not as amazing as I hoped.
  
  Next time I'll try some shakes, which I hear are pretty good. It's probably a good thing Culver's is only available to me when I go to Chicago so it still retains some of it's specialness.

  When and why did Culver's change the bread on their burgers?  They used to butter and grill the buns which made eating their famous butter burgers a delight. Not anymore!  Last night my family and I ate dinner at this location and were baffled by a couple of things.
  
  First, our tray was brought to the table with only two sandwiches and accompanying sides. There were three of us and we all three ordered food. The server immediately went back to get the missing food items and delivered them to us. We were grateful this was fixed quickly.
  
  Second, the buns used on our burgers were taller than usual, dry and hard to eat for those wearing braces. I took the bottom bun off of my sandwich, turned the burger and toppings around and ate it that way. I meant to snap a photo of the omitted bread, but forgot.
  
  We have the Culver's Calendar and usually look forward to our monthly visit. Not looking forward to returning in March.
  
  I wonder if this is a chain-wise bread change or just the Woodstock, IL location?
  
  Have been coming to this location for years. Great location on Route 14 between Woodstock and Crystal Lake.
  
  Newly renovated dining area. Clean, open floor plan. Tiled floor along the main walkways. Carpeting under the booths and tables. Plenty of seating for families.
  
  Friendly staff takes your order, makes your food, serves to your table, cleans up. Forgot something, just ask. They are quick to fix any issues.
  
  Clean restrooms for men and women.
  
  Drive through.
  
  Outdoor seating, when the weather permits.
  
  Newly paved parking lot with parking on both sides of the building.
  
  Delicious burgers, fries, cheese curds, and custard. Their soda fountain is self serve. Be sure to try their own brand of root beer and diet root beer!  
  
  Don't want fries with your order?  No problem. Just substitute with applesauce, salad, cheese curds...
  
  Be sure to check their website for the custard flavor of the day. This is also where to look ahead for the special of the day like BOGO small shakes and other delicious surprises. Keeps us coming back again and again.

  I have to say, this was my worse Culver's experience yet. I asked for a concrete mixer but just asked that they don't mix it..but still evenly distributed the toppings so they aren't just on top.
  Apparently this was a difficult request. The guy comes back with a thin layer of toppings in the middle only. I ask him to put some on top and by the time I drove away and pulled in the parking lot to eat it...it was completely melted to a liquid. Not even one bite was a spoon full of ice cream...it's literally just melted ice cream with toppings. Very disappointed. Also what happened to their actual cups that have the Culver's logo? Won't be back.

  Went to Culver's for a late night treat. Ordered two concrete mixers. One short with snickers and one mini with cookie dough. Both were the same exact size (admittedly this may have been to our benefit). However both were completely melted by the time we got them, and the snickers also had peanut buttercup in it.  I get it was close to closing but if the custard wasn't frozen then don't sell it. If it melted because the guy in front of us ordered half the menu then wait to make them or make new ones. Disappointed for sure but we still ate the melted treats.

  I used to enjoy going here for dinner on my way to school. Lately the service here is a joke! I just spent 15-20minutes sitting in the drive thru waiting for my single meal. People behind me were getting their food before me. Couple months ago I waited 15 minutes in the drive thru waiting for just a concrete! Advice for you all is if you have somewhere to be and want to stop at a fast food restaurant real quick, well there's nothing fast about this Culver's.
