Culver’s Wake Forest

Culver’s of Wake Forest is on Rogers Road, owned and run by Erik Neudecker, who lives in the town. The kitchen makes ButterBurgers to order and scoops frozen custard made fresh on site. It is a franchise, run locally instead of from a head office.

Wisconsin cheese curds, chicken, salads and kids’ meals fill out the rest of the menu. A different custard flavor is featured every day, and regulars check first to see what is coming. There is a drive-thru and curbside pickup for anyone eating in the car.
