Solly's Grille - Milwaukee, WI

Here is the great butter burger of Milwaukee, a city where burgers are a passion. It is a fairly thin patty of beef, cooked through, served on a bun literally dripping with butter. If you’ve got a sweet tooth, we recommend you reserve it for a milk shake, which is Dairy State-rich and made in flavors that include chocolate, hot fudge, strawberry, pineapple, vanilla, and the superb fresh banana malt.

"THIS is why Solly's hamburgers are known as butter burgers! Butter literally drips from inside a Solly's Super Cheeseburger Special. By the time you're halfway through, the bottom of the bun has disintegrated."

"Solly's used to be known as Solly's Coffee Shop. Now it's Solly's Grille. Inside, the food is as good as ever, and the counter seats are a diner delight."
