Columbia's first Culver's restaurant opens its doors. What food do they serve?
A restaurant that has long been a favorite in the Midwest and other parts of the country has debuted a new location in the Midlands. Culver’s, known for its burgers, chicken, frozen custard and more, has opened its first Columbia location at 2744 Clemson Road. That’s at the corner of Clemson and Longtown roads, right in front of Lexington Health Northeast. The Columbia location opened at 10 a.m. Monday, Nov. 9. Culver’s has more than 1,000 restaurants across the country, according to data website ScrapeHero . The company, headquartered in Wisconsin, has a dozen locations in South Carolina, per its website, in places such as Greenville, Anderson, Greer, Summerville and elsewhere. The new Columbia location is locally owned and operated by Ryan Gabel. The Clemson Road Culver’s was immediately greeted with a big crowd on Monday morning, with cars lining the drive-thru and customers queueing up inside when a reporter went by. Inside dine-in customers order at the counter and are given a number to place at their table, and a Culver’s employee then brings your food out to you.
