Wow! The butter burgers are so good we actually we went for lunch then went back again for dinner! James Beard Award winning most stop restaurant in Milwaukee.

A pre Brewers game tradition. Fantastic every time.

Beard Award Winning classic grill & diner food in a historical building with attentive staff & unique setting. Definitely worth a detour to try anything on the menu...from butter burgers to homemade pies..

I fell in love with Solly's Grille. 💘

True Wisconsiners know that life is perfect with your cheeseburger topped with butter just before serving. (Who doesn't add cheese in Wisconsin come on we are proud cheeseheads!)

Who cares about the eventual heart attack when you are surfing the clouds in love with your cheeseburger? 😀

Anyway, Solly's was founded in 1936 and to my knowledge remains in the same family. They are the forerunner to today's Koop's (1950) and Culver’s (1984) Restaurants.

Don't forget to start your meal with a signature milkshake - I had Strawberry. There was no skimping on the serving as the glass was full with more available in the mixer cup also brought to you.

Add onion rings to your order and finish the meal off with a piece of pie! I had apple because someone took the last piece of Strawberry Rhubarb just before I ordered it. The nerve of that person whoever they are!

Other than the one table all other seating was at an undulating counter with conversations started with total strangers. In this day and age an odd concept but it worked.

Solly's isn't a big restaurant so plan on waiting if you arrive at a popular meal time. I made it just before the dinner rush.

You won't regret going out of your way for Solly's Grille!

Finally got the chance to try this place and came in for lunch. It was about 30 past noon. I order the Big Boy burger. It came with kringles fries. Fries came out first. I like kringle fries. Then the Big Boy came out. This was like a premium Big Mac burger. Taste 100% on point. It was juicy and buttery. Definitely one of the better burgers I ate in the Milwaukee area. The only thing was this was a premium burger with a premium price. Almost $20. Good to try at least once. Would I buy it again? Eh?!! Not for the price. But I would try a different burger.

Solly's is a must-try for anyone seeking an authentic Wisconsin butter burger experience! The burgers are rich, juicy, and packed with flavor, and the signature butter adds an amazing touch. The diner has a classic, nostalgic vibe that makes it a fun place to visit.

Kid-friendliness: Classic lunch counter experience, great for all ages, don't need to worry about the kids being too loud.
