“Absolutely love this small family business. You can tell they love what they do. They go out of their way to make sure you're happy with their product! And the custard is perfect! The waffles are great, big and fluffy and freshly made. And the Italian ice is so flavorful! I've never been disappointed when I come here. Prices are very reasonable as well.“

“Well let's be frank! It's a strictly get in line and add scoops to a cone! The ice cream flavors are plentiful and delicious. They do have an option for adding condiments but I noticed most ppl just stick with the ice cream cones or cups. They also have delicious cookies for cookie ice cream sandwiches. Just warm, soft and chewy on the inside with a little crunch on the outside. If you're in the area you must give it a try if you like ice cream!!“

“Great ice cream. Fun atmosphere, what more could you want? It has some of the best ice cream with a good variety of flavors that have fun names like Cookie Monster. With the ship theme, they put an upside-down sugar cone on some to make it look like a ship. Very fun.“

“The entire crew that was working on the evening of Tuesday, October 3, 2023 deserve many praises. This was simply amazing service at its best. As we were driving down Route 52 trying to make it to Culvers before closing, I called and asked if we could get the full menu if we came in minutes before closing. Whoever answered the phone was so positive and warm and assured us that we could indeed! Literally, we walked in at 9:58 p.m. They were scheduled to close in two minutes. However, the entire crew greeted us with warmth and smiles. We had fish, cheese curds, fries, etc. Everything was fresh and delicious. At 10:20 (20 minutes past closing time), a worker came by our table to see if we needed anything else. We were not pressured at anytime to leave. Unbelievable! We just know we would not experience such special service anywhere but Culver's in Rochester, MN! This team should be so proud. What a delightful place.“

Ice Cream Cake

“I placed an ice cream cake order for my son’s birthday- as this is the type of cake he wanted. I wasn’t sure if the success, being done online. I really had my doubts, and it was for a 16th birthday. I didn’t want to mess this one up.I placed the order and it was very simple online. Lots of options to select, I wasn’t picky - just wanted it to be something a teen would like.The store has seasonal hours in minnesota during the winter. We are lucky they are open at all I suppose. Closed Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday. Currently only open starting at noon Thursday, Friday, Saturday & Sundays.I picked up the cake at the time I reserved it for on a Friday afternoon. It was ready when I arrived. I paid abs was on my way. Cake was absolutely perfect. It made me so happy. They went above and beyond in my eyes to make it a special cake AND day for my son. It had a plastic pretend drivers license on the cake, he kept as a memory the “the most perfect day”.I’m so thankful for the hard work of the cake decorator. It truly was perfect & delicious too. It will be a special birthday we always remember.“

“The #1 Dairy Queen in Rochester has been a “staple” here for years…cars line up into the street waiting to get to the drive thru for one of best “Original” sandwiches and signature DQ treats like sundaes, shakes, dilly and buster bars…The sandwiches are why I go, they are basically a “maid-rite” which is ground beef, onions, and whatever other condiments you wish to add…This year, I’m sorry to say they lose a star(4 out of 5) because although the price is the same as last year, DQ chooses to join the “trend” that most retail businesses seem to be following: Keep the price LOW, but give the customer LESS…That’s right, your getting more air and less chips in that bag of Lay’s, and ounces are dropping on your popular packaging, that your not suppose to notice, just to keep prices low…well, the DQ original sandwich is still very good, and comes highly recommended, be aware, (but not surprised) to see how small they’ve become…Myself, I would rather pay more and GET more, if you get my meaning! That said, BY FAR the best DQin Rochester!! P.S. try a “cherry misty”“

“The first time in my life that I’ve accidentally gone to a restaurant without money. So embarrassing. After telling the drive through man that I left my debit card at home and only had the $3 cash and that was was going to have to cancel my order, the guy at the window Martin, just whipped out his wallet and said “I got you, no worries” I couldn’t even believe it. I am just shook at my mistake and, and even more so impressed by the generosity and his friendly customer service! Martin credited his level of customer service training to his manager. Keep killin’ it! Also, the mint concrete mixer is so good!“

“Tried the new Frosted Pumpkin Bread which actually tastes just like what the name says, but in ice cream form and is now my favorite flavor they have.It is a part of their "new autumn in a cone" selection so I hope they keep it around throughout the whole year cause it's delicious!The staff did seem a little bored, but it was 8pm so I wouldn't judge them because I don't think I could "chop chop, fold fold" all day and not be a little tired of ice cream at the end of the day.Next time I think I'll try one of the other new flavors they have for autumn.“

“Crumbl has never disappointed from anywhere (have only ordered for delivery). The delivery service/how they notify people however is not the best and could use some work (our order was canceled and we weren’t even notified they were here). One bad experience however does not “ruin” it for me, and we will still order again for the delicious-every-single-time cookies.“

Frozen Yogurt Cookie Dough

“This place is the bomb. It's clean and quiet..you go in pick a cup put the frozen yogurt in your bowl add all your toppings that you want on there they have like it's a 50 different things to choose from and then you weigh it and then they charge you by the ounce I think it's amazing mixing the flavors is really good doesn't sound good but it's amazing so like every bite is different I love going there I go there as much as I can but I don't get there very often“
