Culver's secret menu FAQ
Does Culver's have an official secret menu?
No. Culver's does not publish a secret menu, but because most items are made to order, staff will usually build off-menu favorites like the CurderBurger, Buffalo cheese curds or a custom Concrete Mixer from regular ingredients if you ask.
How do I order Culver's secret menu items?
Order the base items separately (for example, a ButterBurger plus a side of cheese curds) and either combine them yourself or politely ask the crew to assemble it. Be specific about the mix-ins or sauces you want, since these builds aren't on the register.
Is the CurderBurger always available?
The official CurderBurger is a seasonal limited-time offer (usually fall), but you can recreate it any time by ordering a ButterBurger and a side of Wisconsin Cheese Curds and stacking the curds on the patty.
Do Culver's secret menu items cost extra?
No. You pay for the regular components, not a surcharge. The DIY CurderBurger, for example, runs about $12.88 — The Original ButterBurger ($6.39) plus regular Wisconsin Cheese Curds ($6.49). Free tweaks like a Flavor of the Day shake cost nothing extra.
