Culver's Kids' Meal Offers Value for Adults
A report from The Takeout highlights the Single ButterBurger with Cheese Kids' Meal at Culver's as a cost-effective option for adults, offering a burger
A kids' meal at Culver's provides a substantial and cost-effective option for adult diners. The Single ButterBurger with Cheese Kids' Meal costs $6.99 and includes a burger, small fries, a small drink, and a scoop of frozen custard.
This combination represents a significant saving compared to the regular value menu. The comparable Single ButterBurger with Cheese Basket, which lacks the custard, costs $8.89. Choosing the kids' meal saves an adult customer $2.00 and adds a dessert.
Comparing the Value
The savings extend beyond the signature burger. The report details how adults can save money on several other menu items by opting for the kids' meal version instead of the standard value basket.
| Item | Kids' Meal Price & Inclusions | Value Basket Price & Inclusions | Savings with Kids' Meal |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single ButterBurger with Cheese | $6.99 (burger, small fries, small drink, custard) | $8.89 (burger, small fries, small drink) | $2.00 |
| 2-Piece Chicken Tenders | Price not specified (2 tenders, small side, small drink, custard) | Price not specified (2 tenders, small side, small drink) | $1.60 |
| Corn Dog | Price not specified (corn dog, small side, small drink, custard) | Price not specified (corn dog, small side, small drink) | $1.10 |
| Grilled Cheese | Price not specified (sandwich, small side, small drink, custard) | Price not specified (sandwich, small side, small drink) | $1.10 |
The table shows the kids' meal consistently includes a scoop of frozen custard that the value baskets do not.
Other Menu Options
The chicken tenders kids' meal is another recommended choice. The Takeout notes that the original and buffalo-flavored tenders are available in both kids' meals and value baskets. For an adult wanting a two-piece tender meal, the kids' version is the better financial choice.
It saves $1.60 and includes the custard. The value baskets are designed for larger orders of four or eight pieces.
Underrated Picks
The report calls the corn dog and grilled cheese kids' meals "deeply underrated." The grilled cheese, in particular, has developed "a full-on cult following online." The source describes it as "the secret vehicle for getting the cheesiest burger possible at Culver's."
Both meals are $1.10 cheaper than their basket counterparts. This makes them the most economical way to order these specific items. The story concludes by reiterating that these kids' meals offer a way for adults to get more for their money at the fast-food chain.
