What drives calories at Culver's?
Patty count, cheese and frozen custard mix-ins drive most calories at Culver's: single burgers start near 390 calories, doubles and bacon builds climb to 780-980, and Concrete Mixers run 640 to 1,190 calories before extra candy mix-ins. Burgers scale quickly with size and cheese: the Original Single ButterBurger lands around 390 calories, a Single ButterBurger Cheese about 450, and doubles or the Deluxe/bacon builds push well past 600-730. Among sides, a medium crinkle-cut fries is about 360 calories and a large about 460, while a medium order of breaded Wisconsin Cheese Curds is roughly 510. Chicken sandwiches and tenders, fish, and salads fill out the mid-range, with grilled chicken options sitting lower than breaded ones.
How do you order lighter at Culver's?
You order lighter at Culver's by picking the Grilled Chicken Sandwich (390 calories) over breaded chicken, swapping fries for a Side Salad (120 calories), and choosing a Single Scoop (330) or a Mini Concrete Mixer instead of a Regular. The biggest calorie hitters are the frozen custard treats. A Mini Concrete Mixer starts around 340-380 calories for plain chocolate or vanilla but climbs fast with candy mix-ins (a Mini Vanilla M&M's is about 510), and a regular Concrete Mixer with rich mix-ins like Heath bar can top 1,000-1,500-plus calories. For a lighter order, choose a single scoop of custard or a Mini Concrete Mixer instead of a regular or large, pick a grilled chicken sandwich over breaded, swap fries for a side salad or cup of soup, and order the smallest burger size that satisfies. Always confirm exact numbers on Culver's official nutrition grid, since values vary by size, toppings and the Flavor of the Day.

Culver's allergens and dietary options
Culver's bunless burgers and the fresh frozen custard are the go-to gluten-free options, though the fryers are shared so fries and curds are not celiac-safe. Wheat, milk, egg, and soy are the main allergens, and the cheese curds and custard are heavy on dairy. Vegetarian diners can build a cheese-curd-and-custard meal or a garden salad; there is no dedicated meatless entree.
