Reviews of The 10th Frame Sports Bar (Bowling Alley)

Thomas Heinritz

Great place. I'm not a big sport fan but the staff is friendly and the food is good.

Sharon Sommers

Awesome place. Super service.

Ej Dombrowski

Carrie Carpenter

Love the Friday Night Fish Fry!

Keith Lennop

Good pizza and burgers!

Luke Zepnick

A nice clean older joint with a good bar and great food! Perfect activity for the whole family!

Joe Alessandro

Old school lanes. Nicely priced

Johnny Sanchez

Good food and service.

Kyle Hellman

Relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff. I'm not much for bars/taverns generally, but I'dcome back here. I can't speak to the alcohol selection as I ordered a whiskey neat with Jameson.

Jeremy Alquist

Cool place good food

Pete Lashua

Food was okay at best. Seemed a little pricey for "bar food".

Rick Schunk

Not only is the food great, the staff is fun and upbeat. Nice local lanes, they have bands (sign on the door today, I've never been there for that), Home Made pizza was great!!

S Hansen

Family run. Mom cooks, daughter tends the bar and waitresses, the son does the money and the main run of the business. Went there for lunch with my 11 year old daughter two days ago. She was fundraising. It's a local bowling alley. So, needless to say, I didn't have high hopes of getting great food. However, both my daughter and I were left speechless and full. This place is: 5 star food, 5 star prices, and 5 star staff. We ordered: 2 kiddie cocktails, deep-fried cauliflower, garlic parmesan boneless wings, chili dog and fries daily special, and a chef salad. Total bill: $35!!!! Under $30 without the sodas. So, $15 per appetizer/meal combo. Better yet, ALL ingredients were fresh and homemade. The meat is from our local butcher shop (Jacob's Meat Market). Even the ranch dressing was made from scratch. Fries were cut and made from scratch. Boneless wings? You guessed it, chicken from the butcher and breading, seasoning, sauce from scratch. If you have never been YOU MUST GO!!! Cheapest bowling around with 5 star food!!!

Paul Martin

Always great soups and food. This place never fails to disappoint. They are always offering new food specials and always at least 4 soups to choose from. Cooking is exceptional. Discovered this place about 4 months ago and find that I am a weekly regular customer. Prices very reasonable—inexpensive—and cooks and bartenders always friendly and attentive. Highly recommend!!

steve stoll

If you are looking for a modern bowling experience, then go anywhere else. The facts are simple worn ragged shoes, chipped and scuffed balls that roll like a six sided rock. Lanes that break down every fourth roll.

scott glaser

Excellent fish dinners

Dani Marie

Bowling! Score your own games! No automated scoreboards here; it's fun, give it a go. All the beer, bar food and pizza you can consume. Look out for their constantly running weekly deals and specials!

Shawn Gross

Excellent fish fry and very friendly staff. I had whitefish and my wife had perch. Both were very good. Best fish I've had in Appleton.

Josh Shwank

I always like going to the frame. I just wish the claw machine would put out.

Gavin Klein

Very nice service

Ken McIntosh

We had a good time. Food is good, especially the burgers. Priced right for portion size. Good tap beer selection. Bowling is very old school. Nothing electronic so you better know how to score. Shoes are good quality, but balls have lived a rough life as have the lanes. Mechanicals can be a bit wonky. Still, we had alot of fun. Staff is friendly and works really hard to meet customer needs. Will definitely go back.

Matthew Nelson

Food is pretty good. Waitstaff is alright but this is a bowling alley and the lanes are a joke. Don’t come here to bowl.

Sheila Vander Zanden

The 10th Frame was wonderful to work with. We needed a meeting room, a light lunch & 2 games of bowling for 32 4-H members & they did a great job hosting us! The meeting room was a bit small for our group however, Chad, Kathy & the others did there best to work with us. Thank you!!

Emmett Brophy

surrounding atmosphere inside pleases the senses, for the kitchen emits odors that caress the palette. cozy seating is a plus. And if looking for great food choices, look no further than the '10th - frame. Guaranteed to leave pleased and happy you made that choice to stay.

Chuck Meeleus

Good food, nice selection, fast friendly services

Sam Berendes

They make their drinks nice and strong.

Justin Harrer

Really poor service and worse food.

Mary Wisniewski

It was awesome great food great service.

Shannon Hess

Awesome burgers

Zachary Hoffmann

The food is good bar food, exactly what you'd want from a place like this. The bowling is dated, but not having the fancy screens and having to record your own scores makes it more fun in my opinion! Friendly staff as well. Will definitely be back!

Brittany Stammer

Specialty pizza is amazing!

pzrobe pzrobe

Good food but we had to ask for refills on our drinks and to get our bill.

Michael Johnson

Great prices on bowling and food

Braden Lockwood

Good food and bowling

Kathy Hyman

Very busy on Friday night. Food is good. Waitstaff very good.

The pizza seems to have changed...not as good as 3 months ago. But because the bartenders are so incredible worth it to visit.

Lindsey Pethan

Great food! Friendly bartenders, good drinks, plus fun, old school bowling.

Kathryn Searles

Great drinks and fantastic food!

Nicole Swanton

Great local place & staple in the community. Owners are local and work there often. Great oldschool pencil and paper scoring. Good food too! Hosted my work party there and they were super helpful and easy to work with.

JohnCurrent4

My wings we're good but my Wife steak was way over cooked. We ordered it med it came out well well done

Kevin Kaczmarek

Great place to go bowling for cheap

Karen Suprise

Nice atmosphere, clean restrooms,nice people working there. Enjoyed my evening. Prices on drinks middle of the road.

The Joyful Life

Fun place, simple, good drinks. Ask Your Mother played live, place was packed.

peetsplan vannin

My childhood bowling alley place and hangout. Pretty much the same after all these years love it!

Jeremy Staszak

If you're coming here for bar food and drinks, it's a great place with great service. However, if you wanna come here for legit bowling, go somewhere else. Lanes are trash and you run into the risk of chipping your ball with their style of ball return. Plus they don't really oil their lanes

Brandon Curtis

The food is great and bowling fun. Unfortunately there service can be a bit lacking.

John Schumacher

Cozy and personal. I bowled, ate and drank. Steak sandwich is great. My whole experience was very enjoyable and reasonably priced.

Mark Pfannkuche

Had fun bowling, couldn't get any service at the bar for drink, even while holding money. One of the bartenders even seemed too busy taking a shot with another group while 2 others kept on walking past. Probably great if all you want to do is bowl and not drink...

Roland Agustin

Delicious pizza, great servers, however the bowling alley itself hasn't had an update since the 1940s.

Molly Conrad

Bartenders were really nice...drinks good, but lanes were run down and seem in need of repair.

Mandy Quick

They were very accommodating for my daughter with a ramp and bumpers to bowl. That pizza was really good from what I heard. I can't have gluten so I couldn't try it but overall service was great.

Sue Mullen

Friendly and a great place to get together with friends.

Donna DeBroux

Good food, good price.

Deana Smith

Steve Steder

Excellent Burgers!

Chuck Shurlow

Nice cozy place, obviously been here a while. Old school bowling Hall, good was good, service was good as well. The said was huge, chili was pretty good, gutter wrap was as described. Cris cut Frieda were great.

Nathan Meissner

The bowling provided is Solid but if that's not enough or you don't want to bowl, it's also a restaurant and bar as the title suggests

Devon Debroux

Need to oil lanes more often and get new bowling balls

david willems

I went to Tenth Frame for lunch today and was extremely satisfied. The service was fast and the burgers were amazing. The prices are decent but typical of good bar food. Every time my soda was 1/2 full the bartenders asked if i needed a refill. Ill definitely be coming back especially to check out the fish fry.

Ross Kleinmann

great family atmosphere

Bailey Morton

Very very cool to mark your own bowling scores and see the ball return. Very family feeling

Bill Tease

Good food and service

Don Bickham

I don't bowl very often. However, when I do it is a nice bowling alley. The main reason I go there is my hairdresser leases a space, from Chad the owner. Chad is a very very nice guy!

Nichole Serrano

Wall through the bar to get through to the bowling alley. Pleasant experience.

B Powers

Decent bowling. Certainly showed it's age. We had some issues with the lane we were on with the balls not returning. Staff was very helpful though in assisting us whenever there was an issue with the lane.

Keith Huelsbeck

Awesome place bar tenders are the best

Tom Baffias

We had heard that the food was good. Well, our food was great! wHAT A SURPRISE FROM A BOWLING ALLEY. wE WILL RETURN!

Buck Toother

Average bar food. Not the greatest menu. The bar games are old. The drinks are drinks. The lanes are mostly shot. If they weren't, they'd get 3 stars.

Rob Kulpa II

Great service and food. Lanes are classic and fun!

Rob Euhardy

Wow not really a pizza fan at all heard how good their pizza was I'm shocked man this place is five stars and 2 thumbs up all the way

Face Entertainment

Great food

JAMES Riley

Ask me how I wanted my burger, I said well done and got to my job and got a pink burger. ..I will never go there to eat again. ..Customer service is everything. .Shouldn't be quick to make a buck and not satisfy a paying customer. ..

Frank Oesterreicher

Honestly, one the best burgers I have ever had! Great atmosphere and friendly service as well! If you're looking for a great "bar" burger, this is the ticket.

Luke N

Run down bowling but in a way that helps give it character and you don't really mind because you had a few shots and you only paid $2 for the bowling anyway

Martin Ash

Brandon invited me to check this place out and it was everything he said it was. I got the belly buster and it was really good. Will definitely be back

Josh Kasubaski

I want to throw up. For me to be writing this place sucks. Horrible service. Brought half our food 10 min apart. 16 dollar plate looked like a happy meal . Everything overpriced. Will not be going back

Chris Hannis

Good food nice little salad bar

Mary Ann Wepfer

The food was really good. Try Kathy's grilled chicken sandwich

Tommy Lee

Nancy Menn

Great tv's all over. Friendly, helpful staff.

judy bleck

So friendly. Awesome service. REALLY GOOD PIZZAS

john day

The 10th Frame was very accommodating for our event. It's a nice neighborhood venue. If you are serious into bowling this is not the bowling alley you want to Bowl at. The bowling alley needs some TLC.

Laura Kohne

Went there to bowl and have a few beers. Was a great time! We'll be back again soon. Quick and friendly bar staff as well

Lynda Klarner

Great service and good food.

ryan lythjohan

Every time I come to appleton to visit, I stop here. Friendly staff and cheap bowling. Maybe its just cheap to be because Im from Chicago. Still a fun place.

Lorrie Riehl

Very good food and service

Tim Lehmann

Been coming here since the 60's! Great food and people!!

Steve Mannion

Oldskool joint and it shows (no electronic scoring) but cheap, cheerful and charming as a result.

Carl the Unexceptionable Craftsman

It's a bowling alley. Not bad, nice bar.

Colette Lutes

Great place! Friendly staff! Good bar food!

I am always Honest

Good prices and decent drinks. Bowling area is run down, but stay in the bar and have a good time.

Heidi Jopling

Fun bowling! Not a huge venue.

Zoe Schultz

Ordered the biggest haddock sandwich. Filled me up.

Jeffrey Williquette

Great food!

Kim Crowe

I love that you have to know how to score a game without electronics, just a pencil and the score sheet.

Chris Nabbefeld

First time here. It was pretty cool they have good food great prices the staff was awesome as well!

Zach Weber

Bartender Spent a little too much time chit chatting. Probably to regulars. Not a good way to get more regulars... other than that, the other patrons are a bit cliquey. Overall, not a very welcoming place.

T Arion

Always great food, drinks and friends here. The staff is friendly and funny. I've never had a bad experience here.

Edmund McQuincy

Who loves the 10th frame? This guy! I can't believe I've never left a review for them yet. Although I currently live 1800 miles away, it is still my favorite bar. Chad(the owner) has sponsored our softball teams for several years and in addition to him giving back to his customers, he's active in his community sponsoring programs such as The Miracle League. Bartenders Carmen and Mia are awesome(unless they beat me at bar dice) and are part of what makes this such a great place. The food is better than "bar food" and is inexpensive for such high quality. Of all the things I miss about living in Appleton, the 10th frame is near the top of the list.

Bob Wiese

Awesome place to go, I have been here several times and it's always the best.

Michael Patrick

Cute place, attractive bar area. The bowling is cheap and scores are entered on paper which gives the place a classic vibe. Food was fantastic.

Joshua Romine

Great food at great prices

Angeline bruns

Free drinks on birthdays couldn't have had a better birthday.

Arty Haith

Went bowling here, lanes are worn and need to know how to score. Needs updates.

Linda Camp

The 10th Frame is a bowling alley that serves food not your typical bowling alley food they have an all you can eat white fish on Fridays paired with a salad bar for only $13 plus change our server bartender which wonderful very considerate ferry times whatever lacked in the food for wonderful service made up for it. The Whitefish was okay you certainly got served enough on the first serving which I did not need to ask for more. We will return and try some of the other fish items on the Friday menu. They have other fair that we did not sample that we will definitely return soon.

Jason Burgett

Computer scoring? Disco balls and black lights? Get that stuff out of here. Get in your time machine and bowl like it's 1986! The bar is nice and the pizza is great too.

Timothy Hoks

Good food. Great service. Nice atmosphere...

Paul Behnke

This is a bar that you can go bowling at. You have to keep score on your own as there is no automated screen or scoring. It's not a very big place. But a great bar/bowling alley.

Just came in on Friday for dinner, my buddy bought $20 in pull tabs and won $31. Our meal was interrupted by Appleton PD due to the bar accusing my buddy of passing a fake ticket because she saw a scam on Facebook. The cops checked the cameras which proved he was innocent; however during this time the bar staff treated us as we were 100% guilty. Closed out our tabs, wouldn't serve us drink, and was told they were just doing their jobs. In the end, they had to pay the money out (behind my buddies back as he talked with the cops). Didnt even have the courtesy to say sorry. Bartender Trista needs to learn some customer service along with her inadequate blonde helper. The cops explained to her to not believe everything she reads on Facebook.

Amanda Kabat

Great little place for bowling older not fancy but the pizza was good!! Burgers looked really good to, we enjoyed it!

Robert Schumacher

Bowly bowly mastacholie

Michael Rosera

Tristan Kang

I went for a school even and rented all 16 lanes, great service!

Brian Gleason

Fun and welcoming environment. If you don't come in with high expectations, you'll leave pleasantly satisfied

Tyler Onesti

The lanes are okay. Drinks are need more vodka. Lanes become good after drinks!

Ellen Schwab

Awesome food and drinks!

Shawn willard

Always a great time there. Strong drinks.

Julia Micke

I like coming here. Bowling is nice and food is good. Always good service. Atmosphere is ok

chuck b

Food is below average but service was good.

michael luce

Casual relaxed atmosphere, better than typical barfare. The soups are airways amazing and the onion rings leave me ready for the afterlife! I love the staff...always attendance to my wants and needs, and super super friendly.

Daniel Ferdon

Mostly bar with small alley in the back, I just really love this place. Cheap bowling, good food, relaxed atmosphere. Be ready to keep your own score because these lanes are old school including over lane ball returns.

Adam Kapla

Great food great service. Love the environment. Definitely a good place to drink, shoot a game of pool and go a round or two of bowling
