“We’ve always loved Raising Canes Chicken! We need to get some locations in the Columbia SC area so we don’t have to drive over an hour to get it. 😂 The chicken fingers are always fresh and crispy and fries are very tasty too. They’ve got the good ice. Sweet tea is delicious.“

“Food I great. The girl that wrang me up at 9:15:35pm on 8/17/26 was not polite at all. Tell her to ask how the customers day is going when they smile and ask how her day is going. When I learned restaurant skills the first thing I learned was to put my emotions to the side regardless of the day I was having. If I couldn’t be polite enough to ask the how customers day is going back after they ask me. Or at the very least say “good thank you” instead of “good what are you getting”. She had a death stare going on.“

“Had pizza, one with gluten friendly crust, other with traditional crust. The gluten friendly crust was firm and held the cheese, sauce, and toppings well. The ability to customize (unlimited) toppings was welcome. My son chose cucumber as one topping and really liked it. We also got a customized mixed greens salad as well as iced tea. Food was delicious, service was courteous and efficient, and the restaurant was clean and well maintained. The music was alternative, which I particularly like. We are visiting for a skating competition, but I would definitely return if in the area.“

“I have a two-part review. First, the food: butter burgers are a mandatory food item for me every time I visit Charleston, and the Culver’s at North Charleston is my go-to. No matter what type of butter burger I get, it is always spot on. Definitely a treat! If you haven’t tried it yet, you have to!

But the service is just as important as the food, and I want to highlight the great customer service that Vickie, the general manager, gave me. She went the extra mile helping me find my misplaced cell phone, even going so far as to review security footage for me. She did this during a busy lunch crowd and while juggling an AC outage and a loss of CO2 for soft drinks. It would have been very easy for her to shrug her shoulders and say it wasn’t her problem, but she instead went the extra mile to help me, when she had every reason not to. The good food brought me to this Culver’s, but Vickie’s leadership and compassion has guaranteed me as a customer forever.“

I was pulled up to wait for fries. When I got home there were 0 sauces and the sandwich was tiny. Not even a single. On top of that, the fries were cold sooo...why was I even pulled forward. I waited for 16 minutes after paying. I can see why yall don't have any customers. Yall need to go ahead and shut it down.“

“This restaurant had great food that came out quickly. We ordered two meals and a burger. The drinks took over 20 minutes to come out. We look over the counter, and there are two employees working the two windows, while one lady had to switch back and forth between front counter and drive thru. As I'm sitting here writing this review, 5 separate people are waiting for their order to be taken. Management needs to rethink their labor policy because there are not enough people for this DINNERTIME rush. These poor employees are being pushed back and forth from their posts.“

“I am a loyal chic fil a customer! I mean they are top notch compared to other fast food places and honestly the only place I eat when grabbing something quick. The professionalism, politeness, and quick service keeps this customer happy. However…..I do have a complaint. I wanted to start this off with a positive because while I never leave reviews, I feel like this complaint needs to be noted. The delivery app needs a serious update. How can I make a lunch order at 8:30AM with no issues and it be delivered when it says it will be, but if I make one at 9:30AM the lunch items are not available until 10:10?? Please make it make sense. I had to wait around until 10:10 to place a lunch order and was told by the app it would be delivered within 30 minutes at the most. Ok not an issue because my kids lunch isn’t until 11:00, so plenty of time to get there. It took an hour for this food to be delivered and the location is 5 minutes from there. That’s insane to me. When I called to speak to someone to see why my food was not in route yet, it took 6 times for someone to finally pick up the phone and Stacy assured me at 10:51 the food was on the way. Well 5 minutes later I get a text telling me the food was in route and John did not get there until 11:15. I get having to bs to keep customers from getting irate with you on the phone but obviously my order was forgotten about and this is a serious flaw in the app that needs to be addressed.“

“What is the point of placing and paying for your order online if you have to stand in line when you get there with everyone who is ordering in the store. Would it not make sense to be able to go straight to the pickup counter? That’s what every other food business does. Super annoying and will make sure I don’t go back. The whole reason for placing the order online is so you can stop by quickly and pickup....,not stand in line for an additional 10 minutes for the lunch rush.“

“Big communication issues with the girl at the counter. She didn't pay attention or remember anything well. I asked for a GF club sub and Club Supreme on herb bread. Next thing I know, she is making a Large club sub sandwich on herb bread. I asked her if that was mine. She said yes. I never asked for a large. She cut it in half. And asked what the GF one was. I said Club Sub. She said they're both club sub? I said no, the other one was supposed to be a club supreme, but don't worry about it now. I told her what before and she finished the sandwich I asked her to put the bacon on. She said, didn't you say no bacon. No this is my first time mentioning bacon. The other guy made the GF sub and it was much smoother. Glad I didn't order ahead.“
