Downtown Appleton has numerous restaurants, many within a short walking distance from the PAC (http://foxcitiespac.com/). Vince Lombardi's Steakhouse (http://www.vincelombardis...) at the Radisson Paper Valley Hotel has great steaks at a reasonable price, and if you're lucky you might get an autograph from NFL visiting teams staying at Paper Valley the night before Packer home games.
Waterfront dining is available near downtown along the Fox River waterfront at Fratello's Riverfront (http://www.supplerestaura...) and Pullman's (http://www.pullmansrestau...), and at Waverly Beach (http://www.waverlybeach.com/) along the north shore of Lake Winnebago.
Many of the big restaurant chains have locations near the Fox River Mall -- T.G.I. Fridayâs, Chiliâs, Qdoba, Olive Garden, Red Lobster, Machine Shed, Bennigan's, Fuddruckers, Outback Steakhouse and so on. Inside the mall, Fratello's Fox River Mall (http://www.supplerestaura...) is accessible from the food court, and has a microbrewery onsite. Outdoor seating is available.
Other places are Wooden Nickel (http://www.woodennickelsp...), Spat's (http://www.spatsappleton.com/), Dick & Joans and Old Bavarian.
