“I placed my order online and ordered ahead. I find that SO handy to do. Because as soon as I parked in a curbside pickup spot, went to my email, and clicked on “I’m here,” out came an employee to hand me my order. I love that feature!! And my order was exactly right! Thank you very much to the Todd Dr Culver’s in Madison!

Dietary restrictions: If you’re on the keto diet for instance, there are different salads you can get that are keto friendly. Not only that, but you always have the option of ordering a butter burger with no bun, or a grilled chicken sandwich with no bun to make it keto friendly. I’ve done this many times myself while still losing weight making these choices.

Parking: Plenty of free parking available here!

Kid-friendliness: Culver’s has many menu options that are kid friendly. Even after they have their meal, they can pull a slip off their bag to get a free scoop of custard. They also have high chairs for the littles!

Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of wheelchair accessible parking available! And once you get inside with the wheelchair, there are options for arranging the wheelchair to be close to the table. And I’m sure that an employee would be more than happy to help out with that!“

“Holy cow! These ribs are the best I’ve ever had, seriously! Highly recommended!!! My boyfriend and I were driving by and decided to stop in for a quick drink. After meeting Aubrey and frEddie, we were sold! Super friendly service and hometown atmosphere made our stay longer than planned. We heard about the Saturday special with the ribs, baked beans and cornbread among a long list of other pork items we did not get, at least this time. We recommended Fast Eddies to any rib lovers out there! I considered them to beat anything ribs I had at ribs feast last year. The passion for the BBQ shined through every bite I ate. Great jobs guys! We will return soon.“

“Well I have been here a few times a few years ago, Sneaker Burger is always so good! This time I brought several para-athletes. There was one low table, however, they brought a folding table out to accommodate our group which was awesome!
The food, well, I know it's been a few years but the Sneaker burger was still great. The chips that came with were more bits and pieces. My BF got a cheeseburger and onion rings. Onion rings were really good. The chicken choke wrap was good.
It's a bar so keep in that in mind...not a place for salad.
I was surprised that with the burger there was additional cost for mayo, lettuce, tomato and onion on the burger. Had that been noted we wouldn't have opted on one of the burgers.
The service, while friendly, was not attentative for drinks (I had to get up and ask for refill and water). It was about 230 so I think the bartender was running.
Will I be back next time I am in the area? Yes, again, the sneaker burger is delicious, however, I hope I remember the nickle-diming.“

“DOESN'T RECOMMEND!! (the fact that there is no way for me to change it to "doesn't recommend is pretty concerning. You have this set up to only say thay someone does recommend?? 🤔) Today is my birthday. I've always loved Red Robin and wanted to eat there tonight with my family. I called Monday on my lunch break and they said they don't take reservations and to call back the morning of around 11am so that I can put my name down for the dinner rush for that evening. So, I call back today around 11am, like I was told and was told they can't do that. If they're full there will still be a wait and that they're not sure why someone told me to call because they're "call ahead" wait list doesn't start until about 4:30pm/5pm. She said she would just add me to that list when they start it later tonight. Then I call back to let them know that my party had gotten a little smaller, as a courtesy to them, and I was told they had no knowledge that I had ever even called!!! Three phone calls were made and no communication was passed along. Red Robin, please learn how to communicate with each other. Train your staff on your policy for your "call ahead" dinner wait list so that every employee is on board of how it works. I found somewhere else to go to that GUAREENTED no wait for us. I highly suggest you use your down time when you're not busy to get better organized. Also, when I told Jessica, the manager, that it's fine and we would just find somewhere else to go, she simply replied with, "that's fine and have a great night." She expected me to know the names of all the people I talked to. Umm, shouldn't you know my name and party information since I've called three times? Won't be back anytime soon 😡 (Janesville, WI location)“

Paper Towel holder that was full wouldn’t put out towels and I can blow more air out of my mouth than their Super Small hand dryer put out!!!! As for the Food, the Fish was good last night, but was given the wrong fry’s, and didn’t like drink selection on the pop machine. Now I also bought a Rueben sandwich for work today and I think it has to be the second best that I’ve ever hand in life for Corned Beef.“
