The small town has a number of shops and restaurants that serve Green Lake fish.

One of the oldest businesses is the family-owned Wallenfangs of Green Lake, established in 1975 and nestled just north of downtown Green Lake on 24 acres of what was once the historic Thrasher farm. Since that humble beginning in 1975, the business has grown from the cheese haus, ice cream parlor, and antiques shop, to include a gallery loft of fine art and furniture.[6]
