You can’t convince me that there’s a replacement for butter. While I typically switch olive oil for avocado, nothing compares to the creamy, salty perfection of true butter. Sadly, numerous restaurants choose margarine instead of butter due to its lower cost. However, some chains, both sit-down and fast food, are committed to using real butter in everything.

Red Lobster

Would lobster even be tasty drenched in margarine? Red Lobster doesn’t want their patrons to find out. The seafood-focused chain serves real, melted butter with all its seafood. “Nothing but butter! It’s a #Lobsterfest thing,” they mentioned in an old Facebook post. Besides original butter, they utilize clarified and drawn butter, ideal for dipping lobster and crab. There’s also a garlic butter that has developed a strong fan base.

Outback Steakhouse

Outback Steakhouse also stands by butter to prepare its steaks, as per chef Efrem Cutler. “Butter adds richness and … aids in browning and keeping the steak juicy,” chef and recipe expert Dennis Littley tells Tasting Table. “As it melts, it blends with the steak’s natural juices, creating a sauce that contributes a deep, nutty flavor.”

Cracker Barrel

Cracker Barrel uses real butter for several menu items. “Our Old Timer’s Breakfast comes with two farm-fresh eggs and grits. Your choice of our delicious Fried Apples or Hashbrown Casserole, plus Turkey Sausage, Thick-Sliced Bacon, or Smoked Sausage. Then we top it off with all the fixins’ including warm Buttermilk Biscuits with real butter, Sawmill Gravy, and the best Dickinson’s preserves and jam we could find,” the restaurant says.

Ruth’s Chris

You can count on Ruth’s Chris to splurge on real butter. “Their little trick is they put clarified butter on the steak as it is leaving the kitchen,” one former employee shared on Quora. “The plate is scorching hot because they keep them in the oven and the room temperature butter hits the plate and sizzles for effect.”

Culver’s

While lots of fast food chains cut corners to cut costs, Culver’s splurges on real butter. After all, how can use fake butter if your trademark dish is a ButterBurger. “The butter we use on our buns also comes from right here in Wisconsin, crafted by our friends at Alcam Creamery, a small, family-owned creamery less than an hour outside our home in Sauk City,” the Midwestern chain maintains.
