New Aids at Culver’s for Hard of Hearing

Assistive equipment is designed to help both walk-in and drive-through customers to order.

Dining out can be tough for persons with hearing or language problems. Culver’s in Eureka is unveiling technology to make the process easier.

We were pleasantly surprised on our first visit to the Legends Parkway eatery. The restaurant is elegant and spacious, with cozy booths and tables spaced far apart so it made it easy to talk with other diners at your table.  We were immediately greeted by an impeccably dressed, efficient server.  Everyone in our party had soup, and it was a hit on a cold winter day.
