Seed Oil Free Restaurants in Milwaukee

Cooks in: Extra-virgin olive oil and avocado oil (roasted proteins/vegetables)

Sweetgreen switched to EVOO and avocado oil for roasted proteins and vegetables, per the CEO's public statement and reporting. Their own published Nutrition + Allergens Guide shows several dressings, including Balsamic Vinaigrette and Caesar, list sunflower oil as an ingredient, so dressings and toppings aren't covered by this claim. East Buffalo Street location.

Cooks in: Beef shortening/tallow (fryer); most wet sauces contain soybean oil

Standard US sit-down locations have fried in beef shortening (100% beef tallow) since 2017, per the chain's own allergen documentation. The wings come out of the fryer clean; most wet sauces (Buffalo, Honey BBQ, Asian Zing) contain soybean oil, naked or dry-rub is the safer order. South 27th Street location.

Cooks in: 100% refined peanut oil (fryer)

Chick-fil-A's published ingredient documentation confirms the fryer runs on 100% refined peanut oil. Soybean oil still shows up in their sauces, crispy chicken breading, and buns, the clean claim stops at the fryer. Downtown location near Fiserv Forum.

Cooks in: Steaks cooked with butter (confirmed); Bloomin' Onion reportedly fried in tallow, not company-confirmed

Bloomin' Brands' VP of R&D confirmed on the record, "We cook our steaks with butter." The Bloomin' Onion's beef tallow fryer is widely reported by food outlets but has no named Outback source behind it, and there's no sourced claim for the fries. Greenfield location.

Cooks in: 100% grass-fed beef tallow, no vegetable oils (whole kitchen)

Bo's Schnitzelbunker's own site states directly, "we exclusively sauté with local grass-fed beef tallow - no vegetable oils," and separately markets the kitchen as "100% Seed-oil free." This is a whole-kitchen claim covering the schnitzel, sandwiches, and shoestring fries, not a single dish. Pewaukee location, about 20 miles west of downtown Milwaukee.

Cooks in: Open-hearth grill, finished with maitre d'hotel butter (steaks)

Milwaukee ChopHouse's own About page states, "All of our steaks are prepared on an open-hearth grill and prepared with a custom blend of seasoning and finished with maitre d'hotel butter." That's a specific, named technique for the steak program, not a kitchen-wide claim, the menu's dressings, aioli, and basil oil aren't covered. Downtown location at 633 N 5th St.

Cooks in: Real Wisconsin creamery butter (butter burger patty)

Solly's own About page states its signature burgers use "only REAL Wisconsin creamery butter," a claim also documented in George Motz's "Hamburger America" project, which reports the restaurant goes through 125-150 pounds of butter a week. The same page confirms the French fries, onion rings, and hand-breaded Alaskan Cod are made with "cholesterol-free frying oil," an unspecified oil not covered by the butter claim. Glendale location at 4629 N Port Washington Rd.
