Summer hours went into effect this week, which means we are closed today, but we will be starting the weekend off right with live music tomorrow. 🎶

Plus, if you join us for happy hour from 4-5:30, you can have a light, refreshing spritz drink for only $6 a glass and any appetizer for $10. So...we'll see you tomorrow! 😉

📣We're hiring at Turtle River Chophouse, and we're looking for someone good.

We're growing, and we need another solid cook on our team! We're a small, family-run place in Bemidji that takes food seriously, treats our staff like adults, and has a team worth being part of.

Here's the honest pitch:
🍽️ Scratch kitchen — we make real food from real ingredients.
🕛 You will never start before noon. Ever.
🧑‍🍳 Free meal every shift.
👕 Free uniforms.
💰 $15–$22/hour depending on experience.

No resume needed. Just shoot Brett a message at [email protected] and tell him a little about yourself and why you cook. Two paragraphs are plenty.

Rainy days mean you deserve something warm and cozy for dinner. We'd recommend the slow-braised pork shank that's not only fall-off-the-bone tender but comes with creamy mashed potatoes! 🍖🥔
