I have finally decided to write a review on this Culvers location, as a result of the consistently low quality taste of food that I have received here, and sanitary concerns. My family and I love Culvers, and unfortunately the Cottage Grove location is the closest to our home. When we initially began eating at the Cottage Grove Culvers in 2017 the food was absolutely great up until around 2020. The quality and consistency of the food at this location has significantly declined over the past 3 years, and it's very unfortunate. It appears that whomever is in management now, fails to adequately train the staff on proper food prepartion. This past year the quality has been the absolute worst. The burgers are extremely bland and flavorless, as if absolutely no seasoning is added to the patties. They are also many times undercooked, and lack a sufficient amount of condiments. I have always loved Culvers chili, but once again not at this location, as it is very bland and watery. One of my biggest concerns is the quality of the custard here, it smells horrendous like milk that has sat out overnight. I have attempted to order custard from this location numerous times, and each time the custard has a terrible stench. You will not notice this same odor from the custard at the West St. Paul and Woodbury locations. I don't believe they are cleaning their machines appropriately or thoroughly. I am honestly surprised the health department has not been alerted about this. Overall, Culvers is a great resturant with delicious food. However, the Cottage Grove, MN location does the chain a huge disservice and does not live up to the quality Culvers is known for. I would advise anyone to choose nearby locations as opposed to this one, it is very disappointing. Hopefully management will read these reviews, and implement a plan to get this location back on the right track.

I was here on a Monday morning shortly after opening. When I say this location is the most friendly, and enjoyable experience I’ve had at a Culver’s is an understatement. Every single employee was beyond kind, and multiple people checked on me as I was eating and enjoying my meal. The food was perfection, and fresh as can be. You can tell it’s all cooked fresh.
