Zimmerman Cafe Bar Bowl
About This Spot
Stepping into Zimmerman Cafe Bar Bowl feels like entering a well-loved community hub where the hum of conversation blends effortlessly with the clatter of bowling pins and the nostalgic buzz of arcade games. It's not just a place to grab a bite or bowl a few frames—it’s where casual afternoons stretch comfortably into lively evenings, and where locals come to carry on simple traditions surrounded by familiar faces.
The atmosphere here strikes a unique balance between a relaxed neighborhood hangout and an animated game night spot. Natural light spills into the open space, illuminating friendly tables and well-kept lanes that invite both serious bowlers and first-timers to roll a ball or two. The music keeps a steady but unobtrusive beat, creating a backdrop that feels lively without overwhelming the easyflow of conversation.
Food at Zimmerman Cafe Bar Bowl feels rooted in comforting, hearty flavors with a welcoming, no-fuss approach. Mornings gently wake up with plates loaded with crispy hashbrowns and perfectly cooked eggs, while the bar fills with the clink of glasses and the spiced tang of a well-crafted Bloody Mary as the day unfolds. Whether you’re sharing an appetizer sampler among friends or indulging in a classic Patty Melt after a few strikes, the menu supports casual gatherings that go hand in hand with good company and relaxed fun.
There’s a tangible warmth in the service too—a consistent kindness that makes visitors feel more like friends catching up than strangers at a table. Clean, open spaces and thoughtfully kept facilities add to the comfort, inviting both families and groups of friends to settle in for a few hours. It’s the kind of place where meals come with a side of laughter, and where the simple joy of bowling is perfectly paired with familiar flavors and an easygoing vibe.

Bowlers beware- I take my son here once a week because it’s close. Food is good, the bowling alley is very poor which is unfortunate because they have no competition remotely close. I average about 180 at other bowling alleys and if I break 100 here I’m happy. The price of bowling should match the quality of the lanes but it does not

I have only had to pleasure of having the breakfast here, but it was delish! I've been there a few times now and the service was consistently fabulous. The biscuits and gravy are on point, hashbrowns are crisp, and eggs over easy made to perfection! If you are into bloody Mary's, they make a good one, with a little kick 10/10 would recommend

Atmosphere deserves more than 5 stars! Nice open space, good lighting, and happy people. The bathrooms were especially clean too! Music choice was really good too. Will come again!

Impromptu lunch with my wife, daughter, Cynthia, and her boyfriend. Cheese curds were awesome! Sorry we didn't come on the walleye special day. All the food was great. Bring your appetite! Portions are pretty big.

First time visit for breakfast. We went on a Sunday morning around 9am. No wait for seating. Staff greeted us right away. The menu has a lot of options. We tried the Everything Hashbrowns with scrambled eggs and the Main Street Omelet. Both were delicious. Service was fast and friendly. We will be back!

Great spot to bicycle to-just off the end of the Great Northern Trail! The staff is awesome when a bunch of us sweaty/hungry bicyclists invade! Good Bloody Mary! Breakfast all day! Great entrees-worth the stop here!

First time here. Will definitely be back. Had the Thursday special of 4 piece Broasted Chicken dinner. Wish I had thought to take a picture because they give you a LOT of food. The small white grilled Rosemary potatoes were a unexpected delight!
