Culver’s — Restaurant in Marshalltown

I struggled between a three-star and four star review, so treat this as 3.2 or 3.5 stars. I also intend this as a general review of any Culver's. I've eaten there three times when visiting because so many of my Midwest relatives think it's the bee's knees. It's certainly a better call than McDonald's or Burger King, but I don't think their "famous" custard is anything special, and their food is fine, nothing special. I will say their fish is pretty good, but the tartar sauce is terrible. It's like mayonnaise with a couple of spots of pickle. I'd rather have something from a jar. Their Butter Burgers and their fries are fine as well. Every time I've eaten there, I've left with that sort of gut bomb feeling, but that's to be expected with most fast food I suppose. So if you've run a marathon or bucked some hay and need some serious fat calories, this will probably taste pretty good. Or if you're traveling and need a better option than traditional burger chains, this is a half step up. Other than that, I'd go for a pizza...

Food was just OK, but when they brought it to us, it was missing 2 orders of onion rings and an order of fries. We explained what we ordered, so he finally went back with the tray. When he returned, there were 2 orders of fries and 1 order of onion rings. When we explained again what we ordered, he said "that's not what's on the ticket", so my dad just said he'd eat the fries. Next I put in an order for 2 mixers, they gave me a number to place on the table and said they would bring them to us. We waited approx 15-20 min before I finally went up to check on them. They had been set off to the side and were soupy, so they said they'd make new ones. After another 10 minutes went by, someone came to the table to inform us they couldn't make them because the vanilla machine was down, so we changed our order to something they could make..... it was a half hour to get 2 mixers. They had plenty of staff, as there were always several standing around, and it wasn't super busy. Probably won't be back...

I've been in iowa now for about 2 years I just found out about this place today I had the mushroom Swiss burger double for lunch small fry I'll tell you what worth the wait I give them 10 Stars if I could it was so good I had to go back and get two more for dinner with a large fry and the fries were so hot and warm oh my God it just made my drive home a pleasure I hate waiting for a fast food place and you get your stuff and it's just nasty old tasting and cold this place made me a customer for life wow unbelievable forget about Burger King forget about McDonald's this place is where it's at and the staff was so friendly I can't think of any other fast food place at this moment these guys forget about 10 Stars I'd give them 20 I had to write this as I'm eating this place is really good and it's my favorite color blue.
