2025 Centurion Award winner
Solly's Grille
Best Butter Burger in Milwaukee · Milwaukee, WI
Best Butter Burger in Milwaukee · Milwaukee, WI
Solly's Grille has flipped the original Wisconsin butter burger since 1936, a counter-service institution where each sirloin patty is topped with a generous scoop of real Wisconsin creamery butter that pools on the plate. Cherry pie and Door County cherry shakes round out the order.
A James Beard America's Classic and a north-side Milwaukee ritual, Solly's is where the butter burger — now copied statewide — was born and is still made exactly the same way.
Each Centurion Award is a dated record tied to one year’s evaluation — earned annually, never carried over. Open a year for the full citation and verification details.
Awards run one calendar year and renew only if the business clears the bar again. Selection is by published criteria, never for sale.

This page is the standing record for Solly's Grille (2025). It was not bought, voted on, or sponsored — only winners are published, and an award that stops holding up is revoked, not quietly removed. For hours, bookings, and live reviews, go straight to the business itself.
If you’ve put in the years, you may already clear the bar. Evaluation is free, private, and never for sale.
