What Is a Culver’s ButterBurger?
The name comes from the bun. Each bun is lightly buttered and then toasted, which gives it a soft inside and a golden outside.
The butter goes on the bun, not into the beef. The default bun is a Kaiser bun, and you can switch to brioche if you like.

What Kind of Beef Does Culver’s Use?
Culver’s uses its own ground beef patty, and it is fresh, never frozen. The nutrition panel lists the patty and bun separately.
A little math on those numbers: the bun is 220 calories, so each patty works out to about 170 calories. Culver’s does not list the patty weight in ounces on the item page.
What Makes Culver’s ButterBurger Different?
Three things set it apart from most fast food burgers.
| Feature | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| Fresh, never frozen beef | The patty is not pulled from a freezer |
| Seared to order | Your burger is cooked after you order it |
| Buttered, toasted bun | Soft bun with a light crisp |
Culver’s ButterBurger Menu and Types
All three ButterBurger sizes use the same bun, and the only difference is the number of patties. The Single costs $4.49 and has 390 calories, the Double costs $7.19 with 560 calories, and the Triple costs $9.89 with 730 calories. Every extra patty adds $2.70 and about 170 calories, so the price steps are easy to predict. This page covers the plain ButterBurger, and cheese is sold as its own item with its own price and calories, so see our ButterBurger Cheese guide for those numbers. The Mushroom & Swiss and the Three Cheese Bacon are also separate menu items. If you only want to build something similar, you can add mushrooms to a plain ButterBurger for $0.80 and 60 calories, or Thick Cut Bacon for $1.50 and 100 calories. A Deluxe is a ButterBurger with fresh toppings like lettuce, tomato and mayo, and we compare it in detail below.

ButterBurger Ingredients
Every ButterBurger starts with two parts: the buttered bun at 220 calories and the Culver’s ground beef patty. Everything else is a topping you choose.
Culver’s lists the full ingredient breakdown on each item page under the “Ingredients” tab.
Does a ButterBurger Have Dairy, Gluten or Eggs?
The bun is lightly buttered, so expect dairy. Both the Kaiser and brioche buns are bread, so they contain gluten.
Culver’s offers a gluten free bun for $1.20, packaged separately. If you have a serious allergy, check the official Nutrition & Allergen Guide before you order, because recipes can change.
What Is the Cheapest Way to Order ButterBurgers at Culver’s?
The Single is the cheapest burger on the menu, and skipping the bun saves a little more.

| Single, no bun | $4.19 | 170 |
| Single | $4.49 | 390 |
| Double, no bun | $6.89 | |
| Double | $7.19 |
ButterBurger Allergen Information
Culver’s publishes allergen details for every item, covering gluten, milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soy and sesame. Toppings and buns change the result, so always check the item with your exact build.

Patty Size and Serving Size
The serving size is one whole burger as you order it. The item page lists the patty by calories, not weight, and each patty is about 170 calories.
Culver’s ButterBurger vs Deluxe
A Deluxe is a ButterBurger with fresh toppings added, like lettuce, tomato and mayo. Going by the menu prices, lettuce has no charge listed, tomato costs $0.30 and adds 5 calories, and mayo has no charge listed but adds 100 calories. That makes mayo the reason the Deluxe is heavier than the classic. Pick the plain ButterBurger if you want the original taste with fewer calories. Pick the Deluxe if you like a fresh, crunchy bite and a creamier sauce. The Deluxe’s own price and calories are on its menu page.
