About
Serving cottage classics and chef-curated favourites. Since 1992.
It all started in
Muskoka
What began as a dockside conversation grew into a vision for something more than just a restaurant. Turtle Jack’s was created to capture the feeling of Muskoka cottage country — the warmth, ease, and connection that happen when people slow down and truly enjoy each other’s company.
Since opening our first Turtle Jack’s Muskoka Grill in 1992, we’ve remained rooted in one simple idea: creating a place where guests can disconnect from the rush and reconnect with what matters most. A place where the atmosphere feels inviting, the hospitality feels genuine, and every visit feels like a small escape from the everyday.
More than 30 years later, that cottage state of mind still lives at the heart of everything we do. From warm welcomes and thoughtful touches to craveable food shared around the table, we’re here to create moments that feel relaxed, memorable, and effortlessly together.
Because at Turtle Jack’s, the best moments happen when we slow down and connect.
Crafted with Care,
Meant to Be Shared
At Turtle Jack’s, great food starts with genuine care. From thoughtfully sourced ingredients to dishes prepared with intention, every plate is designed to bring comfort, connection, and a sense of occasion to the table.
We take pride in using fresh, quality ingredients — including seasonal produce and trusted partnerships with local suppliers whenever possible — to create food that feels both elevated and approachable. It’s not just about what’s on the plate, but how it brings people together.
Because the best meals aren’t rushed. They’re shared, savoured, and remembered.
The spirit of the cottage lives at Turtle Jack’s.
Be Part of Something Meaningful
For more than 30 years, Turtle Jack’s has been creating spaces where people can slow down, connect, and feel genuinely cared for. That experience starts with the people behind it — passionate team members, dedicated franchise partners, and gracious hosts who bring our brand to life every day.
Whether you’re looking to grow your career in hospitality or invest in a brand built on warmth, connection, and genuine hospitality, Turtle Jack’s offers the opportunity to be part of something meaningful and enduring.
Together, we’re bringing the cottage state of mind to communities across Ontario and beyond.
