💥A beautiful place to gather! Fratellos offers a one-of-a-kind unique experience. Located in the historic flats and overlooking the beautiful Fox river! Ahhh!

When you enter the restaurant directly to your left, they feature a beautiful modern style bar with vaulted ceilings floor to ceiling, windows, and beautiful decor.

The central restaurant offers a turn-of-the-century look since it used to be the Vulcan mill many years ago. The atmosphere is inviting with beautiful brick walls and windows overlooking the river and rapids! Ahhh!

The staff is amazing and well burst on the menu to help. Suggest a few of their favorite dishes. They feature many unique options. The food is simply delicious. I highly recommend the salmon tacos! They have a full menu, including delicious soups and salads, and even a complete dessert menu. I recommend a grasshopper ice cream drink! Delish!

Thank you all for a great dining experience. We can’t wait to return!💥

Fratellos is easily one of the top spots in Appleton—5 stars all day for the bar alone. Killer drinks (their handcrafted Fox River Brewing beers hit different, great wine list too), solid cocktails, and that chill yet upscale bar energy with the river views and waterfall patio in the background. The whole place just flows—spacious, not too loud, perfect for grabbing a drink, date night, or hanging with friends.
And the food? Straight fire—chef-inspired menu with huge portions, fresh stuff like walleye, scallops, prime rib, pasta dishes, bam bam shrimp, and those Wisconsin cheese curds that are addictive. Everything tastes amazing, service is on point, and the location overlooking the Fox River makes it feel special every time. Yeah, I get a gay vibe from the crowd sometimes (maybe the vibe or the patio scene), but who cares—the bar rocks, the food’s great, and it’s a go-to for good times. Highly recommend—keep it up, Fratellos!

Beautiful place overlooking the river with great fancier food 'n drinks that aren't that expensive. They have craft beer & premium liquors. And also an awesome mixologist that makes her own complex custom drinks.

My fiancée and I shared our 6th anniversary with Fratellos. It was an amazing experience and it made our special moment that much better. Morgan, our server, was the best. He was genuine, patient, and provided amazing assistance. The food was to die for and we also got a free dessert! I paid for the rose petals on the table which was a great addition. 10/10 would recommend!

5 stars for food, service and atmosphere. The highlight of the evening was our server Morgan. He was engaging, efficient and professional. The beef tenderloin, and arancini are a must! The igloo was an incredible, and romantic surprise.
