“Great food and so friendly! We arrived about 15 mins before closing and they were very accommodating and allowed us to order food. Thank you!!“

“One of my favorite places to eat or grab a drink! The staff is friendly and easy to talk to.

We also hired the catering team to do food for our wedding and they went above and beyond to make our day extra special. Food was great, service was impeccable, and very fair priced! Will definitely keep recommending them to anyone looking for food, drinks, or catering!

Special thanks to Mike and Michelle!“

“This place is great! Cold beer, great service and great food! Whatever those fried balls of deliciousness are called...I need more 😅“

“⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Stopped in today and ordered the Spicy Chicken Sandwich with Waffles Fries. So very good. The staff so attentive and asked if I wanted the sandwich deconstructed since I was eating later. So thoughtful. Hands down, best food, fast service, and great crew.“

“First time visiting today. The service was amazing and the food was awesome. Burgers tasted like a old time burger. Will be back for sure.“

“Great food 10 out of 10 on these wings!!“

“The food was tasty and our server was very nice. The dinner we ordered had a huge portion of meat and was served with a vegetable and fries. My husband couldn't eat it all. My sandwich was good as well. It was a homey atmosphere and the servers seemed to know a lot of their patrons by name. I was glad we stumbled across it. If we are ever in the area again we will probably go back.“

“we were seriously disappointed. I recommend avoiding this place.“

“I was looking for a place to easily accommodate my group of 14 for lunch on a Saturday. With short notice they got us set up in the back room, Melissa delivered perfect service, all 14 meals came out at once, all the food was excellent and the price was very reasonable. I've driven past this place a thousand times and never gave it a thought. Now I will definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a good meal and friendly staff. Thank you Rhody's. You were yet another part of a memorable weekend.“

“We drive past 2 of the chain DQs to go to this one. They should all be the same but aren’t — Rhomberg has ice cream and Blizzards that just taste better. Well worth the trip — it’s the only DQ we patronize.“

“Handy location in Kennedy Mall, lots of free parking. Standard , welcoming bar decor, friendly service. Fried pork tenderloin sandwich was big, crisp, tender. I added mayo and ranch and enjoyed it. McDonalds style french fries. They let you add your own salt (which I love) Burger was big, but cooked well done, so kind of dry. Mnr“

“BIG THANK YOU to Shot Tower Inn Kunnert family!!! Awesome pizza, bourbon wings, fried ice cream & prayers 🙏“

“Derick was awesome. Quick with a joke and remembered everyone's name. Food was GREAT. Literally one of the better burgers I've had. The Road King on the menu. Bacon, homemade Cole slaw, topped with homemade buffalo sauce. Ordered mine with waffle fries which were cooked perfect. Recommend, recommend, recommend. A little dark, and kinda warm in there but I'm old so....“

“I just had a nice visit. They were friendly on the drive through. He was friendly at the window. Explained that my sandwich would be a few extra minutes because it was being cooked fresh and asked me to pull ahead. Brought out the food a few minutes later and all was good. Kudos to the guy running drive through. I know we all hear about the screw ups but I'd like the acknowledge the nice job.“

“Latest Update: The owner of this Culver's establishment, called me and apologized very professionally, and with understanding. He explained the mix-up, as they had recently started serving smashburgers, the latest trend, I did not know this myself. I told him that the traditional Culver's Burger is what I wanted. In my opinion, sometimes traditional is best. He was very kind in his offer to make up for the mistake.

I mainly work at night, and yesterday I left on a 5-hour trip southwest, not eating any lunch or dinner, as it would make me sluggish for work. I worked overnight and then drove another 6 hours back to Dubuque honestly, looking forward to some Burger King, but when I arrived at 9:45 a.m., they refused to make me a burger and fries, because their policy said they couldn't serve lunch food until 10:30 a.m. So I said to myself, Culver's won't let me down, they'll serve me a burger and fries at any time as long as they're open, and they were, so I ordered a double bacon cheeseburger in the Drive-Thru. The attendant asked me if I wanted anything else on my burger besides cheese and bacon, and I said a light amount of mayo please. They said okay, and please move forward. I then requested an extra small fry at the window, and they added that. They then asked me to move forward after putting my number sticker on my truck mirror. After moving up multiple times, and eventually being the first car in the line, I noticed three people had been served before me, and they were behind me. I called culver's, and they apologized that they had served my food to another party by accident, and didn't bother to tell me, but instead hastily remade my meal. Again I had ordered a double bacon cheeseburger, with a light amount of mayo on it. They provided me a double bacon cheeseburger with pickles, onions, mustard, and ketchup on it, a sloppy, soggy, mess, and they rushed the cooking of the patties, burning them on top, and not cooking them enough on the bottom, and it looks like they smashed the heck out of the patty, as it does not look like the usual thick and Hardy butter burger patty (see the picture). The freeze must have been Doug out of the remnants of the last batch, instead of being made fresh, because they were all stuck together and not the hottest they could have been.
When I got home, 20 minutes later, expecting to be able to sit down, watch an old movie, and finally eat some good food, I opened up my food and put it on a plate, and saw this. I called about it, explain the screw-ups, and that I was allergic to onions (not something like a tiny bit of onion powder in ketchup, but full on onions and their juices), and the manager, Ann, was very bureaucratic about it very robot like, giving me the usual response that you would expect from management. "Oh, I'm so sorry for that. If you come in before 4:00 p.m., we will replace your meal for free, and give you a coupon. If you don't come in before 4:00 p.m., I'll have to mail you a free coupon." So I asked, "a replacement meal, after all these screw ups? How about a couple free meals, or a free family meal?", and she responded, "I'm sorry, I can't do that, but if you come in before 4:00 p.m. I can replace your meal and give you a coupon", her programming responded. It seems like a lot of fast food restaurants, even culver's, are now just a bunch of robots, that have no compassion, no care for their jobs, or the quality of their work, or treating customers with respect, and actually making up for three major mistakes in a row, giving my order to someone else, and not telling me, remaking the order but making it wrong, and cooking the food too fast on the remake, and creating crap, instead of food.

Update: Either a Culver's Bot responded to my post, or again they are shirking their responsibility of truly making up for this, by telling me to go complain somewhere else and give them some feedback; with no mention about ma“

“After a bad experience at Taco Bell came to burker king. The man working was so polite and was not in a hurry at all. I was able to take my time looking at menu without being rushed. Very helpful with questions I had. Sad the ice cream machine was not working but he talked me in to the hersey pie yummy!. Keep up the great service :)“

“Best customer service hands down! SPICY PAPPA“

“I love Hardee's, but things just weren't right this visit. I ordered a roast beef with curly fries and a drink. The fries are drink we're great. When I started on the sandwich, I noticed the edge of the meat was dry and hard. The meat was tough and didn't taste like it usually does. I'm going to attribute it to a bad day. I'll go back again. I just hope it was a fluke.“

“Everyone was friendly and engaging and appeared to enjoy their job. Good Job crew.

Parking: We had a utility trailer hooked up to the Trail Blazer, which made our vehicle longer than your typical ride, but pulled in with plenty of room, and ambulance even pulled in and parked it right in the middle of the driveway with still enough room for the drove thru drivers to maneuver around then without Even noticing them“

“It's summer! These poor people work like dogs all summer, they are amazing! The top thing to do in Dubuque is grabbing DQ and going down to the dam to watch the barges. One goes with the other all summer long.

Thank you to the superstars that work so hard and fast to make everyone's visit special! I suggest the large M&M blizzard! Yum!!“

“Always a great experience!“
