Culver’s hours

Most Culver's locations are open 10:30 AM to 10:00 PM seven days a week. The chain is closed on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day at most stores; Christmas Eve runs reduced hours.

Culver’s (founded 1984 in Sauk City, Wisconsin by Craig and Lea Culver; still family-controlled by Culver Franchising System) is an American fast-casual burger and frozen-custard chain with about 900 US locations weighted heavily across the Midwest and expanding into the Sun Belt and Southeast.

Common questions are about Sunday hours, what time the dining room and drive-thru close, today’s Flavor of the Day, the Friday Fish Fry schedule, and which holidays close every Culver’s (Christmas and Thanksgiving at most stores) versus which stay open with regular hours.

One quirk worth knowing: Culver’s posts a Flavor of the Day calendar weeks in advance on every store’s page, so guests can plan around a specific custard flavor (Salted Double Caramel Pecan, Chocolate Heath Crunch, Wisconsin Cherry Yum) before driving over, and the Friday Fish Fry (cod or walleye plate) is a Wisconsin tradition served at most stores.

The official Culver’s locator below shows exact hours, address, today’s Flavor of the Day, and Friday Fish Fry availability for the location nearest you, since hours and menu specials are set per store.
