Whether it’s greeting guests at the door, taking orders behind the counter, delivering outstanding service throughout our restaurants, working together as a team to prepare seared-to-order ButterBurgers® or other guest favorites. In 1984, Craig and Lea Culver, along with Craig’s parents George and Ruth, opened the very first Culver's in the family’s beloved hometown of Sauk City, Wisconsin, and began serving ButterBurgers® and Frozen Custard.
