Culver's of Okemos on Times Square Place near Wal-Mart
I was looking at my stats today and noticed there were a ton of hits for a post I put up last week about $1 butter burgers at Culver’s. I should have looked at that post. I thought it was tomorrow, but I got an e-mail from J who was excited about those $1 burgers…..and it was today! I scrapped dinner plans and went to pick J up from work. Last year, we waited in line for $1 burgers at Culver’s in Morton, IL and it was totally worth it.
In the restaurant business, you’re always told it’s location, location, location. Culver’s of Okemos couldn’t have done a worse job with that. I can’t figure out why they would put a restaurant where they did. It’s down a dark road and there’s nothing around it. We had a helluva time finding it. It wasn’t in J’s GPS. She finally called 411 to get the address, but I had just seen a sign for it near Wal-Mart. So we drive back by the Wal-Mart and I almost miss it. There is no sign outside and the building isn’t lit very well. This store is in a really weird location and we had a tough time finding it.
When we finally did get inside, I was surprised that there wasn’t a line out the door. I don’t know if it wasn’t advertised really well or what, but it looked like a regular night at Culver’s. After a short wait, J went up to the counter to place our order. When we lived in Morton, the Culver’s was within walking distance from our apartment, so we ate there too much. As far as fast food burgers go, Culver’s is by far the best. Since burgers were $1, there was a limit of five, so J ordered one with cheese for herself and four plain ones for me. The dollar burgers were just plain butterburgers. The cheese I think was a quarter extra. Read the rest of this entry »
