I would say that this is a good Culver's...But it pales to the Culver's at 6 miles cypress in Fort Myers Florida...In the Fort Myers location you can actually taste the butter in the Butterburgers ! Boy they are delicious...You might want to send someone there to learn their secrer.. Just saying...If you are a snowbird check it out!

This is a newer location, and I gotta say they did a great job and am so happy to have Culver's in Plano now! The food at every Culver's I have visited is always made fresh to order and comes to you nice and hot! The quality of the food is good, in my opinion, as well, not burnt, not undercooked! The wait time wasn't bad at all and the service workers are very friendly!

I cannot say enough good things about my experience here, and a huge part of that is because of Sadie. From the moment I walked in, Sadie made me feel genuinely welcomed and valued, not just as a customer, but as a person. Her attitude, kindness, and professionalism stood out immediately, and it’s clear that she truly cares about what she does and the people she serves. Sadie went above and beyond to make sure my order was perfect, taking the time to explain things clearly and making recommendations that showed real knowledge and attention to detail. It’s rare to find someone who brings such a positive energy to their job, and it honestly made my entire visit better. Employees like Sadie are the reason people come back. I’m incredibly happy with the service I received and truly grateful that Sadie works here—she’s a major asset to this place and represents it in the best possible way. On top of everything, my order even came with a free ice cream cup, which was such a thoughtful and generous surprise that completely made my day. This was an outstanding experience from start to finish. I’ll absolutely be coming back, and I hope Sadie gets the recognition she deserves for the amazing work she does.

I stop in when I’m on the go. I got the burger with no soda and french fries. For health reasons but my goodness they do have some grape cheese curds and let’s go with the ice cream!!! Friendly service as well.

The food is good, but the portions are small compared to other locations and the service is poor. It's always the longest wait of any Culver's I've ever been to. Edit: 100% improvement over the last few months.
