In the 1970s, the Culver family often made trips to Milwaukee, Wisconsin to enjoy their favorite treat: creamy, frozen custard. In July of 1984, the family decided to produce and sell their own frozen custard at Culver's, their newly opened restaurant in Sauk City, Wisconsin. Along with its famous custard, Culver's is known for its thick, juicy butterburger.
Classic dishes like fish n' chips, cheeseburgers, and fresh french fries are also part of Culver's menu. In 1990, Culver's became a franchise and opened a large training center a mile away from the site of the original Culver's restaurant. Now, Culver's caters to customers all throughout the United States.
