we wanted ice cream, but we also wanted a bite to eat…and culvers offers both! we’ve both been to culvers a few times in the past and we’ve enjoyed it every time.
om: i first had culvers over 6 years ago in minnesota – i liked it then and i like it now. i’ve noticed that the employees do a pretty good job in keeping the restaurant clean, i can’t remember a time walking in and there being dirty tables or trash on the floor, so kudos to them. it’s not quite “fast food” but also not a sit down restaurant, kind of in-bewteen. i ordered a double bacon cheddar butterburger along with some fries for my meal. the best way i can describe their food is that it’s definitely above average, but not quite excellent. the fries are of the crinkle cut variety and were crispy. the burger was substantial and it doesn’t look like the meat patties were frozen, i did wish it was just a bit more substantial though. still pretty good. i also had a few onion rings, again very good. love the cheese curds though, the only restaurant that i know of that offers them! fried cheese? oh yea, definitely something that i’ll order again. for dessert i tried both their vanilla and strawberry shake, and they were very good. strawberry shake had pieces of strawberry in it, both shakes thick. i would say this is just outside the top three burger joints in mckinney, but i would definitely go back no questions asked!
nom: i didn’t have culvers until i moved to mckinney and i’m so glad i tried them! the place is always very clean and the cashier was very nice and patient as we waited for the kids to decide what they wanted to eat. i only ordered the cheese curds as i knew someone wouldn’t finish their dinner and i could enjoy what they didn’t eat and maybe cut down on the leftovers. the youngest ordered the shrimp basket and i knew he would like it very much but also knew he couldn’t finish all the shrimp so i got to enjoy them too. the shrimp is very good. they look to be panko breaded and were very good not too fishy like some seafood can be sometimes. we like culvers very much and will go back for sure!
