Solly's Grille

Nestled in the heart of Glendale, WI, Solly's Grille is a beloved American diner that masterfully captures the essence of classic Wisconsin dining. Specializing in hearty burgers, breakfast favorites, and nostalgic comfort foods, this charming spot has long been a local treasure and a must-visit for burger aficionados.

The true star of Solly's menu is undoubtedly their signature Original Butter Burger. Imagine a perfectly grilled beef patty, its juices mingling with a generous glob of melted butter that seeps into every savory bite — an indulgence that local legend and customers alike rave about. This rich, buttery treat is elevated further with melted cheese, caramelized onions, or a variety of other toppings, all served alongside golden, crispy crinkle-cut fries or their equally tempting sweet potato fries.

Beyond the burgers, Solly's offers a mouthwatering array of classic American staples. The Wisconsin Cheese Curds are a must-try, boasting a golden, crispy breading enveloping warm, gooey cheese, delivering a perfect balance of textures. For a taste of homestyle comfort, their New England Clam Chowder soothes the soul, and the tender chicken tenders enveloped in a potato chip crust provide a playful crunch that’s hard to forget.

The diner’s beverage selection is just as thoughtful, featuring nostalgic options like frothy Sprecher Root Beer Floats, rich banana shakes, and bottomless cups of coffee that keep the atmosphere buzzing throughout the day. And don’t leave without saving room for dessert — whether it’s the tart and sweet Door County Cherry Pie or the refreshingly zesty Key Lime Pie, every dessert feels homemade and inviting.

Dining at Solly’s Grille is as much about the experience as it is the food. The cozy, soda-shop ambiance filled with counter seating fosters a warm, communal vibe reminiscent of classic diners featured in nostalgic TV shows. While the restaurant often fills quickly — a testament to its popularity — the friendly and attentive staff, like Steven, ensure you feel welcomed and well cared for.

Patrons consistently praise the authenticity and quality of Solly’s offerings. One delighted customer shared the surprising delight of a “glob of butter” on the burger that transformed a simple meal into an unforgettable culinary moment. Another emphasizes that Solly’s butterburgers aren’t just good—they’re award-winning, having secured a prestigious James Beard Award, often lauded as the “Grammys” of the food world. This recognition underscores Solly’s dedication to preserving and elevating a regional icon.

Whether you're in the mood for a hearty lunch, a comforting breakfast, or an indulgent ice cream float, Solly's Grille delivers with an unpretentious yet passionate approach to food that resonates deeply with every bite.
