Solvang Restaurant

Delicious food, great service, and great experience overall. My mother also enjoyed what she had as well. We had a great time and the waitress was a joy.

We tried the famous EBLESKIVER with Powder Sugar and Raspberry Jam topping. It is basically a fried fluffy pancake ball with powder sugar and raspberry jam poured on top of it. It’s good to try it once if you’re in the area and to get a taste of favorite Dani’s pastry.

Always feels like we're welcomed 😌

Like the Red Viking nearby, Solvang Restaurant serves a hodge-podge of American diner fare and Scandinavian specialties, the latter of which I enjoy far more than the former. Thus, even though it was mid-morning, I waited out the clock until 11am, so I could order off the lunch/dinner menu, and score myself the combo plate of meatballs, sausage, mashed taters, and assorted veggies. My wife went with the open-faced sandwich plate, which was more of a DIY affair than a true sandwich.

Our entire order came out far faster than expected, hot and fresh (or cold and fresh, in my wife's case). Simple. Modest. Delicious. Put a sausage, meatball, mashed potatoes, or all three in front of me, and you know I am going to be a happy camper! Regretfully, I forget to order a small batch of Aebelskivers to go, as I had intended; I can't even remember the last time I had one, and now I am kicking myself for forgetting them! I guess now I have another reason to return to Solvang!

Like its name, the food here at Solvang Restaurant isn't particularly creative or fancy: it's just simple, ol' fashioned home cookin', made with love, like it came out of your grandma's kitchen, and that all by itself makes it something special. A meal here feels a little bit like coming home for the holidays. If nostalgia has a flavor, then they are serving it up here in spades. Don't miss out!

Spacious, cozy restaurant with laidback diner vibes. The food was very good and for the most part service was great. The food is affordable and quick to come out, and the coffee was pretty fresh.

We visited Solvang Restaurant to celebrate my birthday, and it was such a wonderful experience! We came especially to enjoy the famous Æbleskiver, the traditional Danish pancake balls. We’ve had them before and always loved them, but this visit was extra special because my youngest son tried them for the first time.

We ordered two plates one plain and one with vanilla ice cream and both were delicious! The one with ice cream was definitely our favorite. The warm pancake balls with the cold, creamy ice cream made the perfect birthday treat!

The service was outstanding everyone was friendly, polite, and welcoming. The restaurant is so charming and beautifully decorated with Danish touches that make you feel like you’ve stepped into a little piece of Denmark. The bathrooms were also super clean, which is always appreciated.

Overall, it was a lovely birthday visit with great food, excellent service, and a warm, cozy atmosphere. We’ll definitely be coming back next time we’re in Solvang!
