The Story Behind the Name
The name isn’t a gimmick — it’s the recipe. Every burger is served on a bun that’s lightly buttered and toasted on the grill, which gives it a golden crust and a rich flavor you don’t get from a plain bun. The burger itself is made from fresh, never-frozen beef that’s seared after you order, not before. Culver’s has been making them this way since the first restaurant opened in Sauk City, Wisconsin, in 1984, and it is still the item the chain is known for. That combination fresh beef and a buttered, toasted bun, is what separates it from a standard fast-food burger either a basic or culver’s butterburger cheese
When comparing burger options, the Culver’s nutrition guide can help you check calories and nutritional information. You can also explore the Culver’s sides menu to find fries, cheese curds, and other sides to pair with your ButterBurger.
What’s Inside?
It starts with a fresh, never-frozen beef patty, seasoned and seared on the grill after you order. It goes on a lightly buttered, toasted bun with classic toppings — typically ketchup, mustard, dill pickles and onions on the standard build. Cheese versions add a slice of melted cheese, while the Deluxe builds add lettuce, tomato, mayo and extra toppings. Exact topping builds can vary by restaurant, so if you want something added or left off, just ask when you order — everything is made to order
Allergens & Dietary Notes
A standard burger contains milk (from the buttered bun and any cheese) and wheat/gluten (from the bun), and mayo-based toppings add egg. If you have a food allergy, don’t rely on this page alone — check Culver’s official allergen guide and tell the restaurant staff before ordering, since ingredients and preparation can change over time.
What to Order With It?
It pairs naturally with Culver’s classic sides. Crinkle Cut Fries are the standard pick, while Wisconsin Cheese Curds are the signature Wisconsin move when you want something richer. Add a fountain drink or iced tea and you’ve got the classic combination — or bundle it all as a Value Basket (see above). For the full sides lineup, see our full menu.
Is a Double Worth It?
An extra patty adds roughly $1.80–$3.00 to the price (about $2.50 on most burgers) and 170–280 calories, based on the table above.
- Single vs. Double: you pay about $2–$3 more for a second patty, so the Double gives you more beef per dollar.
- Double vs. two Singles: two Singles cost more, but you also get two buns and double the toppings.
- Triple: Triples run $8.29–$11.79. The Deluxe, Bacon Deluxe and Mushroom & Swiss Triples all pass 1,000 calories.
Value Baskets
A Value Basket pairs your burger with a regular side and a drink. Premium sides (like Cheese Curds) and handcrafted beverages cost extra, and the exact basket total varies by restaurant. Compare the basket price with the burger, fries and drink priced separately at your restaurant — the savings are often small. See our full menu for the complete Value Basket breakdown.
Calories & Nutrition
Going from a Single to a Double adds roughly 170–280 calories; Double to Triple adds about the same again. Culver’s butterburger calories are as follows.
- Lightest: Single — 390 calories
- Heaviest: Bacon Deluxe Triple — 1,150 calories
- Middle ground: a Single Deluxe (580) gives full toppings at a moderate count
Customization changes the math: adding bacon or extra cheese adds calories, while skipping mayo or cheese trims them.
Which One Should You Choose?
- Best for first-time visitors: The Culver’s Deluxe Single ($5.09–$5.99) — the full Culver’s experience in one burger.
- Best budget choice: Single ($4.10–$4.79).
- Most filling: The Culver’s Bacon Deluxe — Double or Triple.
- Best lower-calorie choice: Single (390 cal).
- Best for family: a mix of Singles and Doubles. A Double can be a better value than ordering two separate Singles in many cases.
Ordering Tips
- Compare the Value Basket price against the burger, fries and drink priced separately at your restaurant before assuming the basket saves money.
- Every burger is made to order — add or remove toppings, add extra cheese or bacon, or get sauces on the side.
- Check your local restaurant’s current menu for exact prices before visiting, since prices vary by location.
- Limited-time burgers aren’t listed in this table — see our full menu for current limited-time items.
- Pickup vs. delivery: prices on third-party delivery apps are often higher than the restaurant’s own pickup menu, and delivery adds service fees. If price matters, order pickup directly from the restaurant
