The Culver's menu at a glance
The first Culver's opened in Sauk City, Wisconsin, in 1984, started by Craig and Lea Culver with Craig's parents, George and Ruth. The privately held franchise company is based in nearby Prairie du Sac and now counts more than 1,075 restaurants in 26 states. Burgers are seared after you order and served on a lightly buttered, toasted bun, and the custard is made in small batches through the day.
Most people come for one of three things: a ButterBurger, a basket of yellow and white cheddar curds, or custard. Value Baskets pair any entree with fries and a drink, and you can upgrade to a premium side. In fall 2026 the menu adds Curdtoberfest specials and pumpkin Concrete Mixers.
