There are not a lot of vegan options at Culver’s but there are a couple of salad options, steamed broccoli and applesauce.
Culver’s is a chain that originated in Wisconsin and is now in 25 states across the country. They specialize in burgers, fries and frozen custard.
Considering they’re not very vegan-friendly if you have the option, we’d recommend trying another spot close by. If you do find yourself stuck at Culver’s… did we mention salad, steamed broccoli and applesauce?

* Items containing egg, milk, wheat/gluten, soy, fish and shrimp are cooked in common fryer oil. As with any restaurant that is not 100% vegan or does not offer a designated cooking space for their vegan options, cross-contamination can occur and fryers/grills may be shared with animal products. You can choose what your level of comfort is with these potential issues.
