Krolls West

Kroll's...probably the top of all iconic restaurants in Green Bay. When I've visited out of town or out of state, those who originally came from Green Bay frequently make a comment such as "Why didn't you bring me any Kroll's burgers? And those who are new to town usually comment  "They put butter on the hamburgers???!! ....Only in Wisconsin!  Originally started on the East side on Main St. (I'll have a separate blog on that one soon)  I even remember one off of Main downtown I think it was on Bodart that closed in the late 70's. This prime location, across from the Packer Stadium, started in the late 70's. It was expanded to the North about 1985 just after I moved from the house where the expansion took place. (my landlord was Mike Weir.. Kroll's owner) In fact, I think if you were to have taken a GPS reading where my bed/ bedroom was... that's where the booth on the North wall under the big screen TV is. I won't comment any further on that strange fact. Krolls has since opened a location in Chicago.  I haven't been to that one yet but I'd love to.  Kroll's is still without a doubt the best hamburger in Green Bay... but the big question is ...which do you prefer the West side or East side? www.krollswest.com
