Playboy.com likes to compile "best of" lists highlighting what it considers to be a few of life's little essentials. You know, things like scotch, men's spas, poolside bars and minor league stadiums. Which brings us to Playboy.com's latest "A-List" -- the almighty hamburger. And why do we care? Because it wisely included Glendale's Solly's Grill, 4628 N. Port Washington Rd.
Here's what author Jeff Ruby said about the Solly's experience:
"Everyone knows the four cornerstones of Wisconsin life are cheese, beer, Brett Favre and the butter burger. Solly's, just north of Milwaukee, has long been the master of that last one: the most well lubricated Midwestern invention since the Model T. What makes it so slippery? Could be the fresh sirloin patty, ground in-house. Or the deep-brown stewed onions. Or, I don't know, maybe it's the entire tablespoon of real Wisconsin butter slathered on the bun.
"If you're having trouble imagining just how much that is, let me break it down: If you don't eat this decadent creation fast (and you will eat it fast), the flimsy bottom bun turns into something resembling a wet towel. What you do with the remaining butter on the plate is your business, but you will need many, many napkins from the metal boxes on the yellow horseshoe counter.
"As one patron says, 'Solly's burgers taste almost homemade, like someone's mom made them in an electric skillet, just for you.' Yeah, if Mom was trying to kill you. Besides, as folks love to point out, Solly's is conveniently located next to the Heart Hospital of Milwaukee. These cheeseheads have a sick sense of humor."
Here is the list in its entirety (in alpha order):

Alba, you are simply blasphemous. Culvers burgers, while better than McDonalds, just scream "chain, put me in a wrapper, and throw them on a tray with 5 more." They are ABSOLUTELY not comparable to Solly's burgers. Which, yes, are a little pricy, but they aren't using Smart Balance butter baby. This magical fatty goodness comes straight from Louis Pasteur's basement and on top of your hunk o' sirloin. (which i might add, is a supreme beef to that of Culvers). And the fact that it was the same 15 years ago only adds to its vintage greatness. They aren't always trying to tweak what they know is great. If you are bored with the Solly Burger, try the Cheesehead or the special to mix it up. Get on board. And if not, be a lamb and throw away your wrapper.

Regarding butter burgers, Kroll's in Green Bay is still my favorite. I haven't seen a non-chain restaurant compare locally.

Glad to see a local place make the list, but Solly's keeps being named Best Burger because of their name. Maybe once, 15 years ago, they really had a good burger, but it is absolutely no better than one from Culvers now. It's small, expensive, and all you can taste is butter. The restaurant less than 1 mile north of them Kopp's wins every time.
