“Food was good, music was technoy dubstep and pretty loud, waiter was pushy and came to chit-chat too much - he seemed to have some social ineptitude and didn't take the several hints we weren't really there to chat with him. Who knows, maybe he has some tism.“

My husband is not a Reuben fan but he does enjoy these! The. We split the CAB burger which is a must have if you like bacon and burgers!!!!! We also enjoyed a Surly Furious and Old Fashioned. Grace also helped out and delivered our food and was so friendly and bubbly and was nice to chat with. Jordan, the manager stopped by the table to see how our experience was and made sure there was nothing else we needed.We would definitely go back and highly recommend it!“

Walking into Canadian honker there is a cozy and homey feeling.The service was spectacular and the food was delicious. No take-home boxes were needed.

Eating here is not just about having a meal, it's an experience. A culmination of different flavors and textures brought together in a familiar dish in a way that I would have never imagined.It's exciting. Their menu changes often, which I love, because I'm always excited to see what they offer next.“

“The entire crew that was working on the evening of Tuesday, October 3, 2023 deserve many praises. This was simply amazing service at its best. As we were driving down Route 52 trying to make it to Culvers before closing, I called and asked if we could get the full menu if we came in minutes before closing. Whoever answered the phone was so positive and warm and assured us that we could indeed! Literally, we walked in at 9:58 p.m. They were scheduled to close in two minutes. However, the entire crew greeted us with warmth and smiles. We had fish, cheese curds, fries, etc. Everything was fresh and delicious. At 10:20 (20 minutes past closing time), a worker came by our table to see if we needed anything else. We were not pressured at anytime to leave. Unbelievable! We just know we would not experience such special service anywhere but Culver's in Rochester, MN! This team should be so proud. What a delightful place.“

“The burger of the month was absolutely absurd, you wouldn't think it would be good but I cared enough to write about it later. It's definitely worth trying, and being a little bold, sometimes you win, and this was a winner. I can't remember what it was called, but it had marshmallow fluff and lucky charms on it, and for that to work as ingredients for a good burger is absolutely mind-blowing. No kidding!“

This time around my friends & I had the walleye, tomato spinach grilled sandwich, & the chicken Madeira with asparagus mashed potatoes, all 3 of which were delicious. My only complaint is that my potatoes were cold. Other than that the hostess & wait staff were very friendly & personable, & we loved the atmosphere. Will definitely return!“

I had the burrito bowl with pulled pork, which was also pretty good. I thought the food was overpriced considering the quality. The servings were large, but neither of us opted to bring home the leftovers.Parking: Parking was very easy in the large lot.“

“The first time in my life that I’ve accidentally gone to a restaurant without money. So embarrassing. After telling the drive through man that I left my debit card at home and only had the $3 cash and that was was going to have to cancel my order, the guy at the window Martin, just whipped out his wallet and said “I got you, no worries” I couldn’t even believe it. I am just shook at my mistake and, and even more so impressed by the generosity and his friendly customer service! Martin credited his level of customer service training to his manager. Keep killin’ it! Also, the mint concrete mixer is so good!“

Prices are very reasonable. I highly recommend that you stop in soon, and don't forget the complimentary homemade rolls for your soup. Deserves more than 5 stars, but that is the most I can give them.“

“This place is pretty sweet. LOTS of beer options… I think they had 100 taps. Pretty easy to find something up your alley. Atmosphere had a cool vibe to it and the wait staff was super nice. Visited this place 3 times in the 4 days we stayed here.They aren’t open super late. Stayed at the hotel across the street and popped in for a beer around 9:40 on a Friday with a friend. They closed at 10:00 — on a Friday no less. But I guess they don’t get much traffic in the evenings post-Covid. We came in a cold March and the Bartender said summer months are better with the patio.If in the area, I’d highly recommend it.“
