Culver's guide
Culver's menu, nutrition facts and ordering guide
Culver's is a Midwest born burger chain known for ButterBurgers, frozen custard and cheese curds, with more than 1,000 US restaurants in 26 states. Every figure in this guide comes from Culver's official nutrition and allergen guide PDF, linked in the sources box above with the date we last checked it.
Our Culver's page covers single ButterBurgers, two sandwiches and medium crinkle cut fries. This guide explains what each one adds to a meal.

Surprises in the numbers
Grilled chicken is usually the light choice, but at Culver's the Grilled Chicken Sandwich has more calories than the single ButterBurger, and almost three times its sodium at 1,340 milligrams. It does deliver the most protein on our page at 36 grams.
The Beef Pot Roast Sandwich is a strong middle option: 31 grams of protein, the least fat of the sandwiches at 13 grams, and moderate sodium at 740 milligrams. Cheese on a ButterBurger adds about 70 calories and 220 milligrams of sodium.
Example meals
A ButterBurger Cheese Single with Medium Crinkle Cut Fries is about 810 calories, 28 grams of protein and 1,350 milligrams of sodium. A Grilled Chicken Sandwich with the same fries is about 830 calories, 40 grams of protein and 1,990 milligrams of sodium. A plain ButterBurger Single with fries is about 740 calories and 1,130 milligrams of sodium.
- Cheese Single + fries: about 810 cal
- Grilled Chicken + fries: about 830 cal
- Single + fries: about 740 cal
Fries add as much as a small burger. Sharing an order, or choosing a different side from Culver's official guide, is the easiest way to lighten the meal.
Frozen custard and cheese curds
Culver's is famous for frozen custard and cheese curds, but those items are not on our page yet. Both are rich, and portion sizes vary widely. Look them up in Culver's official guide by size before adding them to your plan.
Sodium at Culver's
General US dietary guidance suggests keeping sodium under 2,300 milligrams a day for most adults. The single ButterBurger is one of the lower sodium sandwiches on our site at 480 milligrams. The Grilled Chicken Sandwich uses more than half the daily guideline on its own.
Culver's prices: why most items show Varies
Culver's does not publish one national US price list, and prices differ from one location to the next. Rent, wages, local taxes and regional promotions all play a part, and delivery apps often charge more than ordering direct. Any site listing exact Culver's prices for the whole country is rounding, guessing or reporting a single store without saying so.
To see what you will actually pay, open the Culver's app or website, pick your nearest location and browse the menu. Prices for that store appear before checkout. If you want to help other diners, share the price you paid on our community page with the date, so readers can see real, dated prices from real locations.
Using the calculator with Culver's
Open our nutrition calculator with Culver's selected, add each item you plan to order, then press Calculate meal. You will see total calories, protein, carbs, fat and sodium for the whole order, and the totals update as you add or remove items. Try swapping the sandwich while keeping the fries to see how much each choice changes.
For a daily target, use the calorie budget planner first, then compare your Culver's meal against it. A meal that uses half of a day's sodium or calories is not off limits, but it helps to know before you order so you can plan the rest of the day around it.
How we check Culver's nutrition facts
Every Culver's number on this page comes from Culver's official nutrition and allergen guide PDF. We copy the values for each standard item, note the serving size, and record the date we last checked them in the sources box above. When a newer guide appears, we compare the new figures with ours and update both the numbers and the date.
We do not estimate items that have not been published, and we do not blend figures from several places. If an item is missing from our page, it is because we have not yet confirmed it. Restaurants prepare food by hand, so a real portion can differ a little from the published standard.
Allergies and special diets at Culver's
Calories and macros are only part of the picture. If you have a food allergy, intolerance or medical diet, use Culver's's official allergen and ingredient information and speak with staff when you order. Shared kitchens mean cross contact is possible. Our pages are a planning tool, not medical or dietary advice, and a registered dietitian can help with personal targets.
