Culver's is known for its iconic 'ButterBurgers,' 'Fresh Frozen Custard,' and 'Wisconsin Cheese Curds.' The fast-casual restaurant chain recently unveiled its newest menu item, the 'Smokehouse BBQ Cheddar Pub Burger' and 'Crispy Chicken Sandwich.' The first of the two sandwiches versions features a fresh beef patty, while second is a chicken option that can be customized according to consumer preference. The sandwich contains sweet-and-smoky barbecue sauce, cheddar, onion rings, pickles, and Culver's mayo, all served on a cheddar bun with cheddar chunks throughout the dough.
“We’re always looking to give our guests more ways to enjoy new and exciting flavors, and the Smokehouse BBQ Cheddar does exactly that,” said Quinn Adkins, director of menu development at Culver’s. “We’re excited for guests not only to experience the smoky sauce that gives the sandwich its name, but to truly make it their own with their choice of beef or chicken.”
