Good fish but way too expensive. Got the 2 piece special and it was basically one piece split into two. I ordered an extra piece and it was $30 !! Will be last time.... read more

Turkey Lake is near the lake with limited views of the lake. They are across the street from the lake and no outdoor seating to enjoy the lake. This facility is a little older but in good repair and clean. It's decor is a little dated. The team here was very nice and prompt with service. Sometimes you don't get this full treatment unless you are a regular. My wife had the fish tacos and Cole slaw. She really liked the presentation and taste. The fish was flaky and moist. The dressing and lettuce were fresh tasting. The Cole slaw was okay. It was chopped somewhat fine with a slight mayo base. The cabbage was fresh but it really could have used more mayo with some seasoning. My side salad was very plain. The items were fresh but nothing to really distinguish the iceberg lettuce taste from the dressing. It was just kind of there. The onion rings were very good. They had a thin piece of onion in a little bit heavier batter. The batter has a slight salty flavor and retains some greasiness. That said...I really liked the onion rings. I had to try the fish and ribs combo when I saw it delivered to another table. The ribs were very tender and moist. The BBQ sauce was slightly sweet with a nice BBQ spice. The fish and tarter sauce were outstanding. The white fish was very flaky and moist. The portion sizes are pretty big. The tarter sauce was a bit more plain with a slight hint of sugar and relish. If you like fish...give Turkey Lake Tavern a try! read more

I love their fish! Yes I know Wisconsin is supposedly the king of fish fries but this place is a worthwhile destination. Don't let the address fool you. The restaurant is in Elmira, IN. All three of us opted for the Fish Dinner. I got onion rings with mine. I was tempted to get the Pork Tenderloin Sandwich but the place is known for its fish. This is my second or 3rd time there and I hope to be back sooner than later. read more

Turkey Lake Restaurant & Tavern - Meat lovers - New American Near Me - Lagrange, Indiana

Food was great - tasty, hot, good portion sizes. Service was a little slow - not sure if it was a backup in kitchen or server spread over too many tables - was fun lively atmosphere and we were having fun so slow service not a problem read more

Friday night and it was packed! The fish tacos were fantastic! Planning to back soon for more.

Great food, staff and atmosphere! Amazing fish, sandwiches & pizza. Place is unassuming but just the way I like it! read more

The fish is the best!! The service is fast and friendly. New ownership has upped the food quality. Fresh chicken strips and shrimp. The tartar sauce has been a real winner. We will get it for when we fry fish at home. read more

Good fish, with outstanding tartar sauce. They have a wide range of foods on the menu. Definitely a place worth your time. Plan your next meal time in the Stroh area. read more

We used to love this fish. I know it has changed ownership several times but we were assured the fish hasn't changed. It was really awful. So greasy (and it tasted like old grease). The breading fell right off the fish and my fish was extremely undercooked. I could not even eat it. I had about 2 bites. Not coming back. read more

Great fish. Great tarter sauce. Great food portions. Also love the atmosphere fits the name really well!

This is the place for fried fish in northeast Indiana and has great tartar sauce. Building is a little dated and there is not a great view of the lake, but if you like fried fish that's what you order, you won't be disappointed. I'd avoid the salads and slaw, but that's not what you go there for. read more

Been coming here for years live in Texas now but had to come back over here and eat pretty disappointed the fish was way over cooked and burnt maybe a different cook I don't know hopefully the owners will get that fixed ASAP has always been consistent for years be aware read more

Their fish sandwiches are outstanding. Good restaurant if you are looking for something local.

Fish Dinner. It's always a stop here when visiting. Yeah. It's a little run down but I come here for the Fish Dinner and the great service. I walk outa here so filled with their wonderful fish dinner, I go home and take a nap. Stop by. Enjoy the atmosphere. Great bar area too. read more

Just wanted to try again after being away over 15 years food was good, prices have changed . all food prices every where are up

I've been going to this place my whole life...it's the best. You cannot beat their fish and the tartar sauce is the best. I wish I could give them more stars. read more

A++ Food was delicious! Had Brussel sprouts for App. Definitely recommend! Hand Breaded tenderloin for dinner and it was big enough for two!

We did out drive down a road and eat somewhere we've never been today and found Turkey Lake Tavern. Had their fish which was ok but a little overpriced and not as good as our local VFW. Didn't care for the runny over sweet tarter sauce but portions were large and brought enough home for supper. Their homemade clam chowder was wonderful though. Service was ok but there was only one other table of 3 in the restaurant at noon. Inside was dated for sure. Sign outside said new owners so maybe some more modern,cleanliness coming?? Overall was ok but wouldn't make the hour drive there just to go there. read more

If this is the one on Big Turkey Lake, I wanted to write a review. I grew up in Indiana and we always loved the fish here. And their house dressing for the salad is a type of homemade french that is out of this world!! I'm here visiting family and had to stop by for a fish sandwich! However, if I were rating on food alone it would get 4.5 stars...but dang...the prices are through the roof!! I had a sandwich, fries, salad, and a beverage for $14!!! That's expensive! I live in San Diego now and I don't even pay that price there! What gives? That made rate them only three stars due to pricing. That said, I think you should go to the original Fish of Stroh in Stroh just a mile away and pay much less. read more

Hit or miss service, but fish is generally very good. Restaurant isn't the cleanest so we normally go with carryout.

To be fair, this is my friend's favorite fish place. I've been there twice now. The first time I had the fish dinner. My fish was overcooked and it took about 30 minutes to get our food. The 2nd time I tried the baby back ribs. After waiting over an hour to get our food, my ribs were cold. I sent them back. I'm assuming they microwaved them because what little meat was on them was so tough that I finally gave up trying to cut it and just ate my sides. Also, even though I prefer "wet" ribs to "dry", these were drowned in bbq sauce. I assume that the ribs were not cooked with the sauce since the sauce was colder than the actual ribs when I got them the first time. Oh, and the salad is just torn up iceberg lettuce with nothing added to it. read more

We stopped here on Mother's Day. Didn't know we need reservations. They took us anyway. The service was excellent even though the place was packed. The fish was great! Fries, too. This is a great little place just across the road from Turkey Lake. read more

Fish is awesome. The place is filthy, though. Like, really filthy. The chairs are buffet chairs from decades past and covered in grimy, greasy fingerprints. The server was actually vacuuming the ancient carpet all around us while we were eating, and the floors needed it so bad I overlooked that rudeness. Went to the ladies room and was appalled by the condition and smell; went to the men's room instead and somehow survived using the $hit filled toilet. Please clean up so I can keep coming and eating your awesome fish! read more

The fish sandwich is to die for! I can usually make it into two meals. GET ONE!

Great fried fish dinner with fries and tarter awesomesauce! Prices fair and good service.

Dont order the two piece fish dinner there is two pieces in the fish sandwich and save money. In my opinion the cole slaw is awful, but I love KFC slaw best. The fish is good but a little overfried. The tartar sauce is very good. read more

This place I have been going to since I was a little kid and my parents came here when they were kids. They have wonderful friendly service and amazing fish!! read more

You can't beat the fish sandwich for $5.75 it is huge and delicious!!! The restaurant itself is in need of some renovation.

Great fish sandwiches and salad dressing! The jalapeno poppers were of a cheaper brand and salsa was not made the authentic way like it used to be! You get 6 poppers for over $8 which is a huge rip off to start, I was dumb for paying that price! read more

Turkey Lake has the most awesome fish in the area!! The only thing missing, to me is a cole slaw made with mayo!!!BUT their salad is very good--love the house dressing!! My ENTIRE Family loves it too!!! read more

One of the best clam chowders I have tasted. Lots of clams. Fish sandwich generous. BBQ Pork dry. Penny's pork tenderloin sandwich five star. Friendly service. Overpriced for tavern fare read more

Lived in the area for 9 yrs and have always gone here for fish and enjoyed it very much. The last few times we have gone it had no taste and seemed rather chewy and gristlely. I don't think I will go back. Thought it may be a fluke but didn't get any better. New cook, different batter, no taste of spices?? read more

Good food not enough staff one waitress trying to wait all tables and be the bartender too. Went for supper on a Thursday around 6 pm. There was one of the patrons bussing tables. The heat must have been off most of us had our coats on eating. read more

I agree with Jarrod G . . . food, in particular the fish, is great, but very pricey and I live here . . . plus it was cash only last time I was there. read more

First time eating at Turkey Lake Restaurant and Tavern and was very disappointed. Although the fish is great the rest of the meal was just so so. For example the lettuce in our salad was brown and had no tomatoes or other vegetables other than lettuce. The waitress was not really friendly and did not take her time with us. On top of all that the food was very expensive for what you received. I do not plan to eat there again. read more

Stopped by for lunch on a recent trip through the area. It was 12:30 PM, fairly busy, but only one waitress who was also the cashier. She never stopped at my table to say, "I'll be with you in a minute" so, I sat there for nearly 15 minutes before she ever got to me. I ordered the fish sandwich and an order of fries. There is no combo or basket for a fish sandwich which seems a bit odd. and, as others have commented, it's a bit pricey. A fish sandwich with a side of fries comes to almost $9.00. Add a drink and you're at $11.00 or higher. The sandwich was awesome but the fries weren't even warm when they reached the table. They were downright cold! I even ordered them crisp which meant they should have been VERY hot! The waitress made good and got me a fresh batch but they weren't crisp. I guess hot AND crisp aren't possible. Anyway, she took a couple of $$ off my bill when i paid without me asking. read more
