Our Story

Welcome to Jud-Son’s Bowling, Bar & Grill, Waupun’s hometown gathering place since 1940. For more than eight decades our family-owned spot has been part of the community fabric — a place where generations bowl together, celebrate milestones, and enjoy good food and friendly service. The business has deep roots here: after the alley opened in 1940, Judson (Jamie’s father) took ownership in the 1950s, and the family has kept the doors open through rebuilds, renovations, and changing times. In 2018 Jamie and her husband brought the kitchen back and renewed the restaurant’s focus on great food alongside classic bowling fun.

What makes Jud-Son’s special is the way history and heart meet everyday hospitality. We’ve preserved the warmth and character of a vintage bowling alley while updating amenities to serve today’s families and leagues. Women have been central to our operations for decades — Jamie and her siblings revitalized the business to bring both tradition and fresh energy to Waupun. We’re proud to be heavily involved in the local community: hosting leagues, charity nights, fundraisers, youth programs, and special events that bring neighbors together.

Inside you’ll find lanes tuned for league play and casual bowling, comfortable seating areas for dining, pool tables, dart boards, and a lively bar that’s welcoming to regulars and newcomers alike. Our kitchen serves signature pizzas, hearty burgers, savory wings, and classic sandwiches — menu items designed for folks who want satisfying flavors and honest portions. In summer, our patio becomes a favorite spot to catch fresh air while enjoying food and drinks.

At Jud-Son’s we value friendly service, fair pricing, and a space where everyone can feel at home. Whether you come for a competitive league night, a family dinner, a weekend party, or just a drink with friends, you’ll get the same attentive staff, welcoming vibe, and attention to detail that have kept people returning for generations.

We’re open for bowling, dining, and events — and we’d love to welcome you. Come make a memory, cheer on your team, or bring your celebration to a place that knows how to do both fun and food well. Visit us at 416 E Main St, Waupun, WI 53963, or call 920-324-3518 for lane reservations, event bookings, or takeout orders.
