Review of Culver's

They have a brochure on the counter with allergens and a page specifically for gluten. The employees were all really young, but the cashier seemed to know a few basic things about what was gluten free. Culver’s was pretty busy and I saw multiple people go up to the cashier later because they were missing part of their order. I had to go up also for missing items. I opted to get the chicken cashew salad with ranch because I wanted to splurge on some glorious frozen custard. I got the turtle sundae, and it was amazing. I always forget how velvety smooth frozen custard is, and it was so great with hot fudge. The salad was ok, mostly just a glorified side salad with chicken. I’ve had the burgers at Culver’s before, and they’re amazing. I think the gluten free bun is even the same brand as Red Robin’s. But the fryer is not dedicated, so no fries. Oh, I forgot to mention that I said I had an allergy to gluten, but they managed to put my husband’s cheese curds on top of my salad fork. So I went back to ask for another one, and the guy grabbed one by the prongs with his hand, then gave it to me. So I ended up rinsing it off in the bathroom to be safe. I was worried that the lack of caution or at least knowledge by all the young employees would result in getting sick, but luckily I didn’t get sick.
