Culver’s was founded by Craig and Lea Culver, accompanied by Craig’s parents, in 1984. Some of the most loved items on their menu include their burgers, amazing cheese curds, salads, seafood, their seafood, fries, onion rings, and chicken tenders. Stella Harrison (a sixth grader) says, “ I like the mini pretzel bites and the chicken tenders because they are flavorful, crispy and just makes for a better chicken tender. “ Their most popular item at all, the butterburger, was originally made with an ice cream scoop. Mason, the manager of Culvers, says, “I have tried anything and everything on the menu, and all the different combinations. If I had to pick one, though, I would probably pick the grilled chicken sandwich.”

Culver's Fresh Frozen Custard.
If you haven’t tried Culver's fresh frozen custard, then you're lying. Its fresh, frozen custard has such a creamy, dense, fresh flavor that it makes your taste buds feel like they're in an unimaginable wonderland. Culvers has a new flavor of custard every day, while you can still get their original flavors, vanilla and chocolate. Some of its rotational flavors include mint oreo, peanut butter cookie dough, caramel, devil's food cake, chocolate pretzel crunch, and chocolate volcano. These might be better than any ice cream anyone’s ever had. When you get the kids' meal, you get a ticket to rip off of the bag and get a free cup of their vanilla or chocolate custard with one topping of your choosing. However, you don’t have to get a topping if you don’t want one. You also get another ticket with the kids meal, and if you save up all 10 scoopie tickets, you can get a little prize.
In conclusion, Culvers is a tasteful, enjoyable, and amazing restaurant. Lots of people enjoy Culvers and wish they could stay there forever! Culvers has a great variety of food and desserts. Once you go there, it's certain you'll want to come back for another taste!
