"How could anything called a ButterBurger be bad? Culver's has a special way with its signature burgers. It all starts with a blend of three different prized cuts of beef, including sirloin, chuck, and plate. The fast-food chain uses fresh, never-frozen beef and cooks its patties to order using a smash style that results in craveable crispy edges. Then, the pièce de résistance is a buttered and lightly toasted Kaiser-style bun."
"Duda tried a single version of the sandwich (both double and triple options are also available). It doesn't naturally come with toppings added on, but she threw on the works, complete with pickles, ketchup, mustard, and raw onion. Even with this garnish medley, she found faults in the burger's build. Faults that would drive away fans of extravagant, piled-high handhelds, but might just intrigue picky eaters, people with smaller appetites, or those with a taste for simplicity."
"Duda refers to the ButterBurger as a "Plain Jane burger" and explains that the largest problem she had with it is that it doesn't contain any elements that stand out. With no cheese (that's right, it's just an ordinary hamburger, NOT a cheeseburger), minimal toppings, and a dry patty, it was forgettable and earned itself a last-place spot among seven other ButterBurger renditions."
Culver's ButterBurger uses a blend of sirloin, chuck, and plate, with fresh never-frozen beef smashed to order to create crispy edges and served on a buttered, lightly toasted Kaiser-style bun. The standard ButterBurger contains no cheese and comes with minimal toppings by default, producing a drier, more subdued sandwich compared with other ButterBurger variants. Adding pickles, ketchup, mustard, and raw onion did not overcome the lack of standout elements, resulting in low rankings in comparative tests. Multiple online reviewers and video testers described the classic ButterBurger as plain, humble, and underwhelming.
