Culver's Menu Prices (2026)
Culver's is a Midwestern fast-casual chain built on two things: the ButterBurger, made with a lightly buttered toasted bun, and frozen custard churned fresh throughout the day. It sits above traditional fast food on price and noticeably above it on portion quality, with food brought to your table rather than handed over a counter.
The pricing logic is straightforward — burgers are sold as single, double or triple patties, and adding a combo brings fries and a drink for a fixed step up. The Flavor of the Day custard programme, which rotates daily by location, is the chain's most distinctive feature and drives a lot of its repeat traffic.
How to Save Money at Culver's
- Kids meals include a scoop of frozen custard at no extra charge — an unusual inclusion that adds about $3.79 of value.
- Buy custard by the pint or quart to go: a quart at $11.99 is roughly half the per-ounce cost of individual scoops.
- Culver's e-club sends a free-item coupon on signup and again on your birthday.
- Order the Deluxe rather than adding toppings individually — the built-in version costs less than the à la carte upcharges.
Culver's Menu — Frequently Asked Questions
How much is a ButterBurger at Culver's?
A single ButterBurger is about $6.29 and a ButterBurger Cheese Double, the most popular item, runs roughly $9.29. Adding fries and a drink for a combo costs about $3.30 more.
What is the Flavor of the Day at Culver's?
It is a rotating frozen custard flavour that changes daily and differs by restaurant. Each location publishes its own monthly calendar on the Culver's website and app, so two nearby restaurants can have different flavours on the same day.
How much are cheese curds at Culver's?
Wisconsin cheese curds are about $6.49 for a regular and $8.99 for a large. They are the chain's signature side and are made with white cheddar curds, not shredded cheese.
Do Culver's kids meals include dessert?
Yes. Kids meals come with a scoop of frozen custard included, along with a side and a drink, starting at about $6.49. That inclusion is worth roughly $3.79 on its own.
Can you buy Culver's custard to take home?
Yes. Pints are about $6.99 and quarts about $11.99, and you can usually choose the Flavor of the Day or a standard vanilla or chocolate. Buying a quart is far cheaper per ounce than individual scoops.
Is Culver's more expensive than McDonald's?
Yes, meaningfully. A Culver's combo runs $10 to $13 against roughly $8 to $10 at McDonald's. The trade is fresh-cooked burgers, table service and frozen custard rather than a value-menu price point.
