Culver's

Culver's is a renowned American fast-casual restaurant chain, celebrated for its signature ButterBurgers® and Fresh Frozen Custard. Established in 1984 by Craig and Lea Culver, along with Craig's parents, George and Ruth, the first restaurant opened in Sauk City, Wisconsin.

The Culver family emphasized not only quality food but also a welcoming atmosphere, ensuring that every guest felt valued.

Signature Menu Items

The cornerstone of Culver's menu is the ButterBurger®, made from fresh, never-frozen beef patties that are seared after you order and served on a lightly buttered, toasted bun.

This commitment to freshness and quality has made the ButterBurger® a favorite among patrons.

Complementing the burgers is Culver's Fresh Frozen Custard, crafted daily using farm-fresh dairy. This rich and creamy treat is available in classic flavors like Vanilla and Chocolate.

There is also a rotating "Flavor of the Day" with unique options such as Turtle, Mint Oreo, and Raspberry Cheesecake.

Customers can also enjoy Concrete Mixers, Shakes, Malts, and Sundaes, allowing for a personalized dessert experience.

• Chicken Sandwiches
