About Us
The Turtle Lake Tap and Grill location has long been an anchor property for Turtle Lake with over 140 years of documented history. The current ownership started as a project by Jeff and Ann Hufford to revive and bring back the community feel to a lake that they have called home for over 20 years. They started a private equity company, and with Jeff and Ann as the lead investors, they called on neighbors within the subdivision to describe their vision and pursue investors. 8 families on the lake bought in and stepped up to make the concept a reality. This project could not have been realized without all involved. The company closed on the property, December 20th of 2019 and opened the restaurant in May of 2020. We have battled hard through numerous head winds (COVID and Inflation) for the restaurant industry and our customers have really bought in and supported what we are working to build at Turtle Lake Tap and Grill, which is a premier lakefront dining destination and gathering place.
We hope you get to enjoy our slice of heaven here in the Midwest!

What People Are Saying
“The burger I had was cooked perfectly. I also had the stuffed jalapeños and they were great! Great drink selection and local beers on tap. Outdoor seating options, and when you are done, there are chairs by the water you can use. Just ask before you head down as you need to switch to a plastic container. No glass off the deck area.”
