What makes Culver’s Culver’s

We put our heart and soul into the food we make, as we have since 1984 when we welcomed our first guest in Sauk City, Wisconsin. Our commitment to hometown values of working hard and welcoming our guests with genuine hospitality and fresh, made only after you order meals have helped us grow to over 428 restaurants in 19 states.


While we’re known for our signature ButterBurgers and fresh Frozen Custard, there’s something for everyone on our menu—from crisp, garden fresh salads to home-style dinners and more. Plus, we’re always creating new items to meet the changing tastes of our guests.


We’re family owned and family first. In keeping with a family-owned business, we’re a privately held company. Because we do our best to do things right, we’re as selective of our owners as the ingredients we use in our restaurants. Our owners are hands on to uphold our high standards. If you would like information on becoming part of our franchisee family, we invite you to look into Franchisee Opportunities.
