Culver’s is putting a fried smoked-cheddar crown on a burger, and this one comes with a short window. The new Smoked Cheddar CurderBurger arrives September 28, 2026.
According to Culver’s September 22 announcement, it stays through October 11, while supplies last. It’s the first flavored version of the CurderBurger.
Don’t mix up these three dates
- September 28–October 11: Smoked Cheddar CurderBurger, while supplies last.
- October 12–November 29: Jalapeño Cheese Curds return, while supplies last.
- October 15, 4–8 p.m. local time: Delicious Rewards members can get $3 cheese curds for National Cheese Curd Day.
In other words, the burger’s announced run ends before the $3 cheese-curd event. Waiting for that deal means missing the scheduled burger window.
Check your restaurant before making the drive
Culver’s restaurant finder accepts a city, state or ZIP code. Select a location for its menu and ordering options instead of treating the national announcement as confirmation of local stock.
If you want to get your rewards account ready, the official rewards FAQ explains online registration and the restaurant QR-code option. You can find your membership code under Scan in the app; the website also offers a printable version.
This is an announcement preview, not a taste test. The new cheese crown has our attention, but a guaranteed local price or stock count would be guesswork.
