What Should You Order at Culver's? Butterburger and Curds

Fresh beef and real butter buns sound promising until the chain defaults drag everything into mid territory.

July 25, 2026 About Culver's

Butterburgers and curds keep it mid, not McD's cathedral.

The Take

Culver's lands at a 58 Slop Score. Fresh never-frozen beef and real butter on the bun deliver solid Midwest value while the cheese curds actually squeak.

Everything else stays chain-coded. Fries and default dressings lean seed oil, portions feel padded, and the ingredient lists on sides run long and processed.

The Verdict

Butterburger with cheese curds on the side, hold the fries. Ask for an extra butter packet if you want to lean into the one good thing they do well.

Culver's earns a 58 Slop Score. Skip the deluxe mayo bombs and any frozen custard shake.
