Boynton Beach residents can soon indulge in Culver’s famous cheese curds and creamy frozen custard with a new location opening in early 2026.
It will be the fourth location in Palm Beach County and first in the southern portion with the others in Jupiter (2016), Lake Park (2018) and Loxahatchee.
The franchisee told The Palm Beach Post that construction will begin in mid-July. He expects to open the Wisconsin-based, fast-casual food restaurant chain, known for its frozen custard and ButterBurgers, in about six months.

This Culver’s location will open in the Shoppes at Village of Golf, a recently developed shopping plaza near the southeast corner of Woolbright Road and Military Trail. The plaza is within the Village of Golf, a small municipality surrounded by Boynton Beach.
Village of Golf City Manager Christine Thrower-Skinner said the Village intended for restaurants to operate in the shopping plaza when they approved the master site plan in 2019. She admits she has never tried the popular burger joint, but is looking forward to it.
“There’s none in South County. The (three in Palm Beach County) are pretty far away,” Thrower-Skinner said. “I think it’s going to be a wonderful addition. We have a lot of Midwestern residents, and they’re very excited about it because they’re familiar with Culver’s.”
Thrower-Skinner said the Boynton location will have a drive-thru, which needed special approval from the Village Council, and they got the OK in November 2024. She added that the franchisee closed on the property in June and has submitted building permit applications.
According to Thrower-Skinner, the Village Council has already issued a master permit for the Culver’s location to be part of a shopping plaza that broke ground in 2020. Since the plaza’s opening, businesses like Publix, Chipotle and Starbucks have moved in.
Barbara Zinn, a senior resident of the Village of Golf, said she would have to see for herself if all of the good reviews she had seen of the fast-food restaurant live up to her expectations.
Once the location opens, she’s eager to try the menu, especially one of the burgers. She mentioned the location is convenient, about a two-minute drive from her house to the plaza.
“I was wondering if we were ever going to get one, because they advertise all the time,” said Zinn as she loaded her groceries from the Publix in the plaza into the trunk of her car.
Also on the menu: chicken sandwiches, chicken tenders, fish, salads, soup, onion rings, french fries, cheese curds, and corn dogs. For dessert, the restaurant offers its famous custard, served in either a dish, cone or blended into a mixer, malt or shake.
The restaurant chain recently announced three new sandwiches, including Crispy Chicken, Spicy Crispy Chicken, and Grilled Chicken following a redevelopment effort.
The chicken sandwiches, which the restaurant describes as "juicier, crispier, and tastier," include a grilled or crispy chicken fillet on a brioche bun with lettuce, tomato, pickles and mayonnaise.
