Solly's - Milwaukee

Exactly what you want in a counter service burger place. Best burger in Milwaukee.

There hashbrowns are some of the best I have ever had. Only negative I would say is their bacon is as thin as paper, but was yummy non the less.

Very nice place, the burgers are good, but I feel the quality has declined over time. It is an iconic location though, so I still recommend giving it a try at least once.

The ORIGINAL butter burger location did not disappoint when we visited and left me with an experience that will see me return! Solly's wasn't too busy when we visited for a Friday night but we did arrive early on purpose to ensure that we would miss the rush. Upon arrival I did see the double arches bar seating only but found the seating to be pretty good and comfortable. The people were very friendly and upon being greeted we were told we could sit on either side. Our server was very friendly and took our order right away. She also informed us that there was only one slice of Door County Cherry Pie remaining, to which I immediately said we would take it. Our order was put in and our server came with the pie boxed up so that we could take it home. The original butter burger is why I came so I was really excited to give it a try. Crinkle cut fries came out first and immediately following was the butter burger right on time. The server prepped the fries while the grill was taken care of but the timing was in harmony. The burger does have a good amount of butter which makes it awesome! It is a steak burger not ground beef making it different from something you would get in other places. The fries were good and crispy. We also got a patty melt meal which had the same goodness but didn't have as much butter so a good balance if you don't want to go all in on the butter. One thing I didn't notice but should call out is that they have red cream soda so if you are a fan of this like I am then you can get that with your order too. Finally we had some caramel cinnamon apple pie with ice cream which was awesome. We got a cookie too just to try them and I will say they seemed to be more of a soft grocery store bought consistency than a homemade fresh baked feel. At home we gave the Door Country cherry pie a try which was good with just the right tart sweet taste. I would highly recommend stopping by here and I will be back here myself as well for THE original butter burger!

Waitress was an awesome, taller black woman with a great customer service
