ButterBuns, Fish Fry, and Custard: The Culver’s Unwritten Rules Playbook

A guide to Culver’s culture and unwritten rules: ButterBurgers use a butter-slathered top bun with a fresh, non-frozen patty; onion rings come in large family-style portions; Culver’s cheese sauce is a key dip made with real Wisconsin cheddar; the menu offers three distinct chicken sandwiches (with optional deluxe toppings and cheese); Wisconsin fish-fry traditions are echoed in the North Atlantic Cod Dinner and Northwoods Walleye; savor Culver’s root beer and custard (order custard after the main course and know the dessert lingo); and remember tips like ordering fries extra crispy, valuing the kids’ meals, and observing polite closing-time etiquette.
