Culver’s became known and beloved for its ButterBurgers, fried cheese curds, and frozen custard.
Fried cheese curds are, quite literally, small bite size pieces of cheese that are breaded or battered before being deep fried.
It provides a crispy outside and a melted cheesy inside.
ButterBurgers at Culver’s are freshly seared and pressed before being served on lightly-buttered buns, with the option of adding a variety of toppings.
Some foodies have claimed the burgers at Culver’s are so good that they compete with the likes of Five Guys and other top joints.
“Culver’s is better than Five Guys,” a longtime customer argued in a Facebook post this month.
Chicken sandwiches, chicken tenders, shrimp, cod, and a variety of other combo meals are also offered.
The fast food chain is currently expanding by about 50 to 60 new locations on average each year, per USA Today.
That is continuing throughout 2025 and 2026.
At least 14 have already opened so far this year in eight states, including Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio, and South Carolina.
Over the coming months, 27 will be opened across 12 states.
They include Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Michigan, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Culver’s home state of Wisconsin.
