if you ever seen a large sloping glass structure on the side of a building that looks like a building but it's made of glass and has a raised roof it's a solarium these are becoming harder and harder to find

here are a few cool examples though!

That link just shows a map of Hollister, CA.  Not useful.

Here's a good link:  https://goo.gl/maps/QYysqZDRKGv

These were common on older Wendy’s. I think a few around here still have them. A closed one in Petersburg certainly does.

Edit: found it. It’s now a car lot.

Olive Garden must be stopped.  I must stop them.

Don't @ me. Seriously.

That one looks more like an old Hardees to me, particularly when compared to the Hardees in Bartonville, IL.


The Fazoli's in Alton, IL may have one.  There may also be one on the Fazoli's in Bridgeton, MO (can't tell if the top part is a different type of glass or non-transparent).

The Fazoli's in Marion, IL has one with awnings added on top.

Hmm. You may well be right. There's an active Hardee's that has one...

...as does a Wendy's across the street, though its solarium has brick sides.

The Burger King at 110 Ed Noble Parkway in Norman had solarium-type windows, but you couldn't really "go in" the solarium. The tables along that wall were kind of half under the solarium windows, half under the ceiling. (I know this BK well–it was my first job, and I even managed it for a few months.)

The Norman Wendy's has two solaria.

Wendy's on US 441 in Sevierville, TN has an awning over its solarium.

This building appears to be a former fast food outlet with a solarium.  My guess is it's a former Rax, but I can't confirm it.
