“everything, bravo! dig your brand culture, too!“

“Tracey was so helpful and a pleasure to work with!! Thank you so much for taking the time to ensure my son received his birthday cupcakes!! Happy holidays to you and your family!“

“I always have amazing service at Culver’s. The employees are so kind & helpful. I have had a couple mistakes on my orders but other than the restaurant is AMAZING. They have a lot of comfort foods that I enjoy. The food temperature is amazing. Great portions of the food.“

“We were pleased with most of the meal. Mimosa was served warm. Appetizer served without plates to share. Took over 10 minutes before we saw our waitress again to ask for plates. Nacho appetizer. Taco meat was runny without flavor. Not sure how to explain it. I'd recommend even with these issues. Usually, service is great, and food is good.“

“This is a fine restaurant with one exception. We felt very rushed throughout the meal. Menus were handed to us before we even sat down and it went downhill. On at least three occasions I had to speak up and ask the servers to slow down and stop being so attentive so we could enjoy out meal and conversation. Every time I started a conversation with my son. whom we had not seen in awhile, someone interrupted with some trivial question. I am used to dining where the servers are essentially unobtrusive until needed. I am prepared to give this restaurant a try again because I did like the food. However, I am taking another couple out to clebrate our 50th wedding anniversary and I am going to be very up front about the service expected before we sit down. I get that "turn" is the name of the game but this isn't a fast food joint. If they expect to have repeat business with the older and well-heeled crowd they need to be a little more attentive to the needs of their customers.“

“Simply put, the real deal for hamburger lovers. Not smash burgers, but juicy, thick ones cooked to order with proper buns and all the excellent sides you'd want. No competition in Kansas or Missouri! Friendly staff and decent selection of very good beer.“

“The dumplings and fried chicken are delectable. My dream is for Seb’s to open seven days a week. It’s definitely my favorite restaurant.“

“First time at a Runza, and it was great. The service was fantastic, and the lady at the counter helped us with what to order. The food was out quickly and was still hot after we made it home around 10 to 15 mins. We don't have these where I am from, but I will definitely come back and get a cheese runza and frings anytime!“

“I have purchased a couple of “KEY LIME PIES” (in the past) that were outta this world delicious, from the key lime filling to the best graham cracker crust ever. I heard about their Friday night Fried Chicken so we brought some friends and tried it out. Well I thought nothing could get better than the pies but….. This fried chicken is fall off the bone tenderest tastiest chicken I’ve had and so is the mac and cheese. Everything we put in our mouth from this meal was fresh, tasty, hot and delicious. It’s a quant, little diner with fast friendly service. The Expresso Martini is one of the best Ive had too…. I highly recommend and we’ll be back again soon!!!“
