What are butter burgers?
The company is best known for its butter burgers, which feature heavily on the Culvers menu, but have you ever wondered what butter burgers are?
Culvers call their burgers butter burgers because they lightly butter the crown of the burger bun, which gives it an extra delicious taste. Its a technique that the restaurant has used since it first opened, and it is a technique that is used in every one of the company’s 878 restaurants.

What makes Culvers different?
The American fast food market is a challenging market with lots of competition, but for Culvers to grow to have 878 restaurants they must be doing something right!

They source their beef and chicken from American family farms, and never freeze their meat before cooking it. They only use family farm-fresh dairy as part of their Frozen Custard range. The Frozen Custard is made daily in each and every restaurant, and they only cook small batches to make sure it is as fresh as possible for you.
