Culver's is a locally-based (Sauk County, anyway) hamburger joint. The whole ferociously non-kosher Butterburger is their main hamburger offering in a variety of versions, including this summer a chipotle version -- nice but not very spicy to someone brought up in Texas. The frozen custard is a more-than-adequate substitute for ice cream, and you have to try a Turtle Sundae if you get the chance. I like their Lemon Ice, but that is a treat they seem to offer only in summers. Maybe they figure Wisconsinites don't need more ice in winter.They are mainly a midwest phenomenon, but they do operate in Texas (where, I don't know). One result is that in the Fourth of July Parades up here, there is usually a Texas flag being carried by one of the Culver's employees, along with the flags of other states where they have places.
Don't go there to lose weight! (I did mention Butterburgers, right? Sounds icky, but it's really just a hamburger with a buttered bun.) They offer only one non-sugar dessert and they do have lots of salads. But who goes to a hamburger joint for a salad, right?
So if you are looking for a non-McDonald's stop, and you aren't near Jason's Whataburger, look for the blue Culver's sign. You will enjoy it.
PS -- They are very supportive of local activities wherever they are. (Small town values!) Among other things, they donate prizes for kids who take part in our programs at the library, which is always nice.
