Woo-hoo! The Culver’s restaurant at 40 S. Broadway Place, near Broadway Boulevard and Prudence Road is open.
I know this restaurant chain well from my youth in Wisconsin, and you’re in for a treat Tucson. Totally decadent. Totally greasy. Totally delicious.
The other location on Thornydale isn’t done yet, but looks to be about there.

I agree with Adam. Not quite Steak & Shake quality but will beat the buns off In and Out any day of the week!
steak & shake is by far the best followed by white castle, but if all we have is culver’s, i’ll have it any day over the overrated in-n-out.
Thornydale opens August 1st. They have a sign up, son wants to camp in the parking lot.
wow, my pop-up stopper went nuts when i clicked article link to this site. should have known, damn lib rag.
Do they serve cheese curds like the ones in Wisconsin? Those are amazing.
They better serve fried cheese curds! One of the best sounds on earth is the squeak of a cheese curd being bitten into.
They have cheese curds! They have the same menu as all Culver’s. Went last night and it was really busy, which I expected. It’s entertaining to go on opening week and see all the people that complain about how busy it is.
Cheese curds are awesome 😀 Came by there today. They were really busy, but I got served very quickly. and the 15% military discount was awesome!
Cheese curds certainly are awesome, but I have to make a correction to my earlier comment at risk of losing my honorary Wisconsinite status: Fresh cheese curds squeak when you bite into them. Fried ones are pure, melty heaven, but squeakless.
