I travel across the state for work every day and always try to frequent Culver’s (hard not to after working for them for many many many years through high school, college, and so on).

“2nd visit. It was a quite night, the staff informed us that was due to ”spring break”. This restaurant has a warm, fun atmosphere. We were given a “tour” of the two main floor dining rooms and learned about the history of the building and Wausau itself buy the pictures hanging on the walls. The staff was attentive. Extensive wine list, bartender gave a quick lesson of Gins (differences between London dry and botanical) to one of our guests. With spring around the corner, I enjoyed the zucchini pasta.“

“We had read that this place could be busy, so we chose to go a bit later in the evening and were seated immediately. The waiter wasn't super outgoing, but he was polite and actually became quite talkative when we took the initiative. They had excellent vegetarian meals with some real effort from the chef. Indoor vibe was fun with bikes hanging from the ceiling. The patio also looked nice with flowers and hanging lights.“

“We brought a large party in for a celebratory lunch and had ordered a cake from the bakery for the occasion. Everything was amazing, our server was friendly and attentive, our food was delicious and our big group was in and out in less than 90 minutes time. Prompt quick service, amazing atmosphere and delicious food all made this celebration a win! As always, 2510 exceeded our expectations and we left satisfied!“

“Steakhouse chain with good food. Very busy location and there is a median that prevents traffic from turning in if not coming from the nearby freeway exit. Atmosphere is a bit too loud for me, but that is true to their brand and motif. I like to get a medium or medium rare new york strip, well trimmed. Its awesome with just salt and pepper.“

“If you have never eaten there before. You must try it. They have amazing food! Wow! My only regret is not trying their food sooner. 6th Street Filling Station gained 2 more customers today!“

“5 Stars – A Local Gem with a Heartwarming Atmosphere We’ve been to Blue Willow Cafe four times now for breakfast, and each visit just reinforces why we keep coming back. Even if the food wasn’t always perfect and they didn’t have best toffee cappuccino, the service is absolutely impeccable. The staff genuinely treats you like family—warm, attentive, and always smiling. It’s rare to find that kind of hospitality these days. This last visit was extra special because we finally got a booth! We joked that there’s a “three-visit minimum” before they grant you booth access, which only adds to the charm of the place. It’s little moments like that which make the experience memorable. No matter how your day starts, walking into Blue Willow Cafe just lifts your spirits. There’s something about the atmosphere—maybe it’s the cozy decor, maybe it’s the people—but it’s a guaranteed mood booster every time. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a place that makes you feel good just by being there.“

“We have exceptional customer service from employee Mike Hale. He was friendly and made your average visit to Culver’s a little more personal. Also, the young man running food went out of his way to hold the door open for us as we entered the building. Best Culver’s in the area“
