“We had the absolute pleasure of working with Culver’s in Columbus for our wedding desserts! We chose to serve their famous custard, and it was a huge hit with our guests!

A huge shoutout to Nick, the manager, who went above and beyond for us. He was incredibly friendly, accommodating, and made the whole process so easy.

The Culver’s crew had everything ready to go right on time—including those iconic blue spoons, which added such a fun, signature touch. Thank you again!!!“

“Growing up in the area, I’m ashamed to say that I have neglected this country classic supper club for the majority of my life. In the last two years, we’ve made a point to enjoy the fantastic fish fry at least once every other month. Each time the cocktails, food and service are excellent! I love that they have diet squirt for my Old Fashioneds. I can use my calories on the salad bar and enjoy the soft rolls and delicious cheese spread. I get the haddock with sweet potato. So nice to have my favorite potato option. My sweetheart gets the perch and has also had the walleye. Both are done just right with generous portions. The very best part of this is the service. Always friendly and prompt. I love watching a FAMILY work well together. Dad is the culinary artist, Mom is smoothly running the bar, the daughter is one heck of a waitress and the son will work wherever needed. Better yet, they have been running this place for over FOUR DECADES while they have “day jobs”. Seriously, the work ethic and camaraderie makes this a favorite place to unwind. I love the feel of it and if I were independently wealthy, I would be there every Friday and Saturday night. I hear they have a very nice Sunday breakfast as well. Truly this is the definition of a “hidden gem”. Thank you to the family for all they do.“

“This place straight up is a staple of Beaver Dam. We moved away 18 years ago and feel in love with the Friday night fish fries and the owners. Food is great value for what you pay. The potato salad was to die for and I don’t get excited about potato salad. Stop by and enjoy a great tavern. From Atlanta Georgia, Christopher Bell… no relation but a great name 🤪“

“The food is amazing! Staff is really wonderful!“
