I visited the Crystal Lake Culver’s on Saturday, May 24th, 2025. I am an avid fan of Culver’s and I have visited 35 locations in Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Missouri and Kentucky. As a resident of Crystal Lake I visit this Culver’s very regularly. The food was excellent and the service was quick. I definitely recommend the ice cream and the chicken. 5/5 I will definitely be back very soon. (Written 6-3-25)

The staff at this Culvers was very compassionate. I brought a handicapped person with me, and the server went so far as to help pour her drink. And the manager came over to greet us.

Food was great! The order taker was great on the tablet...very thorough, accurate, and efficient. The person delivering the food was surly. She didn't bring my drink with the order and when I asked if I could please get my drink, she acted like I was really putting her out...no apology for the mistake she made and I felt like I was a nuisance to her.. Visited on Sunday, May 18 around 12:45pm.
