Culver's -- why have I never heard of this chain before? (Tucson: transplants, home)

Iowa beef, Wisconsin cheese, and Midwest grains are world class. And that's a fact.

And that is your opinion. I travel a LOT for business and have eaten at places all over the country. No, I have not eaten dust and too much Mexican food...the food at Culver's, in my opinion, is disgusting. Great that you like it. They obviously have to have people willing to eat there since they expanded here and now there is one in Payson as well. Passive-aggressive insults on the Internet are not going to change anyone's minds on where they are going to eat.

I've been to the one in Chandler twice in the past 5 years or so, it's OK not great. Probably on the level of Carl's Jr not in the same league as in-n-out or habit burger

We have Culvers here in Colorado Springs, and I do think they are better than the "average" fast food burger place. But I do find their burgers to often be very greasy.

Lo and behold, it was Culver's. Not exactly your usual fast food. Clearly I haven't spent enough time in the Midwest, from which Culver's hails. The map shows exactly none on the West Coast.

They've got pork tenderloin sandwiches, beef pot roast sandwiches, North Atlantic Cod and who knows what else -- I missed the Wisconsin cheese curds. Well, next time.

They have the best frozen custard I've ever had. Tonight it was some sort of brownie/vanilla combo. Oh bliss.

Apparently there are a bunch of them here in the Valley. I'm just surprised no one's mentioned them before.

There is little evidence of the Midwest on the West Coast, even though I think they settled California.

But move to Arizona, and you have moved to Illinois! So many folks here from Chicago area.

Midwesterner here...no need to say mean things about us. If you like Culver's great, if you don't, ok.

Culver's is ok. Not a big fan of the food as I used to work at one years ago ha ha. Got a little burned out. Yes, the food is made fresh to your order, that is true. I don't understand the butter on the burgers thing, I made them, but did not get what the big deal was...hmmm more grease on the greasy grill?. lol. However, one really good thing is Culver's employs a lot of people in my area (Wisconsin) and one can get health ins. and other benefits there. The people I worked with were very happy with what they did. Swissconsin's are pretty good.

Never seen so much passion and emotion over an average fast food burger

I can't stand the place, everything is expensive and the quality is worse than jack in the box.
