“Love this place. A true East Side gem. We have tried the Burgers, Shawarma wrap and bowls totally addicting. Chicken tenders are a hit and don't forget the Gyros they are awesome. Ice cream better than the DQ. Try to visit there one a week. The owners are lovely, very friendly.“

“We visited this charming (looked like family owned) ice cream shop for the first time, and it was well worth the 25-minute drive! We came across it on fb and just had to try them out. They have so many flavors to choose from. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making us feel right at home. The outdoor play area for kids and comfortable outdoor seating were perfect for a relaxed family outing. We'll definitely be coming back and recommending this delightful spot to our friends and family. Highly recommend!“

“Classic diner comfort with a modern update on the menu. Lots of great cocktail and beer options, but not so many that it’s not kid friendly. Have been here twice now, and both times food and service has been excellent.“

“We tried for the first time tonight and I was/am pleasantly surprised at the portions of Ice Cream one gets. It's affordable and very good. I will definitely make referrals and return again and again.“

“The best DQ in the state. Something about the soft serve that stands out from the rest. I think it is the setting of the temperature and moisture control. They get it perfect. Also the service is quick and very friendly. He hires local kids and treats them well and they aer trained well.“

“We were on a quest to find a new ice cream place and stumbled upon Treats via Google. I am so happy we found it! Best ice cream ever! Who would have thought mixing cereal with ice cream could be so amazing!?? Definitely coming back again and again :)“

“Finally took my son here and we live walking distance, of course on the hottest day, business was very slow and it was after 4pm, the ice cream was very delicious, but i don’t think I’d stay to eat there , inside was swarming with flies. I even got bit by one.“

“Today 4-20-2025 I went to this location two young girls were working around 1:30 pm and I order a small Oreo Blizzard but was charged for a Medium size instead. I come here for weeks now and I know how much for the small and it’s 4.69. and not 5.15. Any ways update: 4-22-2025 around 2pm went to this location and told them about this small incident and younger lady cashier she apologized and So I bought a medium sized Oreo blizzard and got a upgraded to large to balanced it off. Thx ladies! That’s what I called taking care of your customers! I will be back again and again! Now it’s 5 stars not 1 star lols“

“Amazing customer service!!! They gladly made me a custom BLIZZARD using two dairy-frre Dilly Bars and wine Reeses Peanut Butter Cups. YUMMY!“

“First time trying them and unfortunately forgot to get a receipt for the four pack to start gaining points. They certainly are delicious but the staff could Definitely be more helpful and friendly. The computers and boards were not working, and nobody seemed in a hurry to come to the front counter to assist us or the other two people standing there.“

“Luv Ice Cream is a fantastic shop to visit. Their ice cream is delicious! The owners are very welcoming and knowledgeable. We could have talked for hours! There are so many choices for vegan and keto conscious patrons. If you want wonderful sugar free options this is your store!“

“Very good Iced cream the best of Minnesota“

“This icecream, everytime i go, I can taste the flavor itself, mixed with the sweetness or the ice cream itself. Unlike other ice cream shops, the same flavor never gets old, since everytime i take a bite, the flavor always feels brand new

Anyways my family and I love going to this icecream shop and it's amazing!“

“Absolutely loved this place. The Thai boat noodles were rich, savory, and full of authentic flavor. You can tell a lot of care goes into the food here. Great service 10/10 overall“

“Went for a quick little treat with my family! Delicious as always. They have a new mango and tropical flavor - SOO good!“

“One of the best and most unique cafes to visit on long wintery days in Minnesota. It gives you that Dubai vibe, and a great place you should check out.“

“Culver’s has the best Butter Burger’s - North Atlantic Cod & famous Custard of the day! I have been going to the Vadnais Heights Culver’s for several years! The friendly staff is “Impeccable “ I always buy the Calendars & Gift Cards! Thank You Culver’s for supporting our Farmers! 5 Golden Stars! 😊“

“10% Remember that. . Because that's the % that makes the BEST ice cream. There is a chain down south Texas - Oklahoma that makes ice cream with 10% milkfat. . Ooohhhh best. The well known previous tenant only make their ice cream with 5%. . Might seem small but it's a huge difference.

So many flavors of toppings and ice cream.
My only suggestion would be to make something similar to the blue raspberry Mr misty freeze. Maybe they had it but I didn't see the similar on the menu. . They do have the slushie machine to do it though!“

“Food was great. Ordered 10 pizzas do grandsons birthday party and was all good.“

“We used The Cherry on Top this last weekend for our wedding and we could not be happier! From the beginning Jessica was very kind and easy to work with. All of our guests were raving about their ice cream! Thank you so much for being part of our big day!“

“We go here waaaaaay more often than I care to admit and I have to say, every single time is a joy. Not just because the food is amazing (and consistent) but because the staff are truly kind and attentive! There is always someone walking around, wiping down tables. We are always greeted with a smile. One time, my youngest daughter told one of the workers that she wanted to work at Culver’s when she grows up and they brought her a flippin’ hat! How cool is that? I mean, it’s just par for the course with this place. Phenomenal staff, great food, and our family always leaves happy.“

“Love this place!!! The ice cream is amazing with so many flavors and the staff is incredible! So happy to have them in our neighborhood!“

“El servicio fue fabuloso el establecimiento muy limpio y los precios súper accesibles recomiendo al 100% la michoacana de Rochester Minnesota yo le doy 10 de 10“

“Great night for
Culver’s. Speedy service and not much of a line. Food was great as usual no issues with my order. The dogs approved of their pup cups. Somehow only one onion ring was in the bag when I made it home so that’s a mystery for next time“

“Absolutely incredible salads! I wish I could buy the salad dressing. Top notch.“

“Good service and food. We were there right before closing. Great job“

“We go to Culver's in WBL a few times a month. My oder for the Bacon, cheese Butterburger has yet to be correct. Always missing an ingredient. This past Wednesday we went. Our meal was good and arrived quickly. When we ordered our dessert
it was so tiny we thought it was a joke. We ordered the flavor of the day. It truly barely covered the bottom of the dish. For $6 something I expect better. I love this location and have just decided it eon't be perfect so we continue to go. I have spoken to employees there and now just except that our order will usually not be correct. Never to order the flavor of the day again.“

“I ordered the new mexican hot chocolate blizzard. I was unsure about it. And the guy said, if you don't like it, we will give you another one.
I tried it and it honestly it didn't taste like hot chocolate.
And I did not like it.
I went back up and the guy gave me another one. Like he promised.
And he said, I could choose any blizzard, I chose the brownie one, it was delicious.
That's why 5 stars on atmosphere. Five stars on service and four stars on food.Because i'm disappointed in their new blizzard.“

“Great Customer Service! Friendly and professional. Food is always fresh! Love the assistant manager! I eat/order at Culver twice a week!“

“Super friendly staff, fast service even on busy days, and the best blizzards around! The employees always have a smile on their faces, and the one time a mistake was made on my order, not only did they fix it, they offered me a refund for having to wait a few minutes for them to correct it. Best ice cream in the neighborhood!“

“Took my family here after church for lunch and some ice cream. Great experience. Food taste good and ice cream was wonderful. Got the strawberry angel cake blizzard amd they put strawberries in there. The other DQ I went to in south Minneapolis didnt do that which is surprising. Anyways, would definitely come back here for a bite and some desserts!“

“It was truly great to witness a business giving back to such a wonderful cause. We participated in Miracle Treat Day at this Dairy Queen location and had the absolute pleasure of meeting Rosemary. She was the local Miracle Child representing the Children's Miracle Network. Meeting her made the event incredibly special and showed how much this location cares about the community.“

“Young kid tonight working the window had great service! He was very friendly and clearly cares about his job. I was super confused about menu items and he cleared it up quickly and even saved me money by going for a combo deal. Definitely deserves a raise! Ice cream is tasty too.“

“I ordered a cake ahead of time at the St. Anthony, Minnesota, Creamery. When I arrived to pick it up, I noticed that there was only one person in attendance with several people waiting ahead of me. This is not about waiting. This is about watching this one man handle all these customers and their specific orders with grace and professionalism, with care and concern. When it was my turn, I told him how I had enjoyed watching him work and asked, was he working alone. He mentioned that although there was a prospect of another person in the offing, yes, he was working alone. When I asked could I please refer praise to his supervisor, he asked that I write a Google review, and thus I am doing so. In an age where we are losing manners and turning even waiting on persons over to AI, we need people with humanity and concern for others in our midst. Thank you for a good experience, and the cake was wonderful.“

“Had a mushroom burger was dripping in grease that it went all over my lap. Came back to get the custard scoop for the kids . Waited a long time to get the one scoop for 2 kids. The giant group of over 8 that came in behind us got their full meal before we got out simple scoop of ice cream.
I still like culvers just a werid visit. The staff were chatting too much with customers as they walked by and you could tell they were a little bothered and wanted to be left to enjoy their meals.“

“Me, Qatar, Mylles, and Eyeckton always go and get an ice cream cone after dinner on Saturday night so this Saturday we decided to go to the dairy Queen in mahtomedi Minnesota. I always get the small cone with the crunch toppings on it. Eyeckton ordered a small cone dipped in cherry shell coding and he got a side of the crunch toppings which was a full cup. Qatar ordered a small cone with crunch topping. Mylles ordered a large chocolate malt which looked very good. It's always a treat to go to dairy Queen.🍦“

“Shrimp great, NO dipping sauce Fries great, NO ketchup Butter in sack, NO Roll Slaw great, NO fork“

“Definitely one of the better burger joints around. Here's the deal: The food is made to order, so expect a slight delay. Once it arrives, though, you'll realize it is all worth the wait!! I walked in tonight, ordered, and dined in with less than an hour before closing. Yes, it's fair to expect subpar food and service when a place is about to close, but Culver's did not disappoint. The burger was spot on, the fries were HOT!, and the service was to notch. These other places need to follow this model.“
