Culver's Menu Prices 2026: ButterBurger, Cheese Curds & Flavor of the Day

Flavor of the Day is Culver's daily-rotating frozen custard flavor. Each store posts that day's flavor on a chalkboard (and on culvers.com / the Culver's app). The chain rotates through ~100 flavors — recent days have featured Caramel Cashew, Andes Mint Avalanche, Strawberry Cheesecake, Salted Double Caramel Pecan, Reese's Pretzel Crunch, and many more. Single scoop is $3.99.

The Original ButterBurger is $6.39. The Cheese ButterBurger is $6.79. The Deluxe (with lettuce, tomato, mayo) is $7.49, and the Bacon Deluxe is $8.79. The defining feature is the lightly buttered toasted bun — Culver's brushes the inside of the bun with real butter before grilling.

Culver's Wisconsin Cheese Curds ($5.69 regular / $7.79 large) are fresh white cheddar cheese curds (sourced from Wisconsin), hand-battered and fried to order. The chain treats them as a signature item — Culver's is from Wisconsin originally, and cheese curds are a Wisconsin cultural staple. Squeaky-fresh when fried.

A Concrete Mixer ($5.49) is denser, made with frozen custard blended thick with up to 3 free mix-ins (cookies, candy, brownies, fruit, syrups). A Shake ($4.99) is hand-spun thinner with one flavor base. Both use frozen custard, not soft serve. Concretes can stand a spoon upright; shakes drink through a straw.

Culver's is concentrated in the Midwest and Southeast (Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota, Indiana, Iowa, Florida, Texas, Georgia) but has expanded to ~900 locations across 26+ states. Notable absences: no New England, limited West Coast presence. Confirm with the store locator.

Culver's beef is fresh, never frozen, sourced from the Midwest. The patties are hand-formed at each restaurant. Combined with the buttered-bun toast, the chain positions explicitly as premium fast food using Midwest dairy + beef supply chain.

Yes — Kids' ButterBurger $4.99, Kids' Cheese ButterBurger $5.19, Kids' Chicken Tenders 2-pc $4.99, Kids' Corn Dog $4.99. All include a side and drink. Kids' meals also come with a Mini Flavor of the Day custard add-on for ~$1.49 extra.

Yes. Culver's Original ButterBurger at $6.39 is notably cheaper than Five Guys ($11.99) or Shake Shack ($7.69) — closer to McDonald's pricing tier. Culver's positions as Midwest fast food with premium-feeling touches (buttered bun, fresh beef, frozen custard) without the premium fast-casual price point.
