History
Sauk City restaurateur George Culver started his fast food career as the owner of an A&W on Phillips Boulevard (U.S. Highway 12) in 1961. On July 18, 1984, along with wife Ruth, son Craig, and daughter-in-law Lea, he opened the first Culver’s Frozen Custard and ButterBurgers.
Menu

A specialty is their deep-fried cheese curds made with "real Wisconsin cheese". The menu also includes pork, fish, veggie burgers, salads, and sundaes. The menu is divided into seven sections: sandwiches, sides, drinks, kids meals, dinners, salads, and desserts. Items are made to order and are brought to customers' tables by staff members. Culver's also sells its own brand of root beer, sweet and unsweet tea, and cookie dough (primarily for custard).
Official mascot
