Located at the southern end of Cragun's Resort, Irma's Kitchen celebrates a tradition of good cooking and scratch-made food. Housed in the historic Hungry Gull Restaurant, originally built by Walter and Lena Frampton in 1926, where Lena cooked three hearty meals a day, lumberjack style. In 1946, Ben and Eleanor Curry became the new owners and expanded the restaurant. The property changed hands several times until 1988 when Dutch and Irma Cragun purchased it. Even today, Irma's Kitchen maintains its rustic style log cabin feel, serving delicious house-made cuisine in a cozy ambiance with picturesque views of Gull Lake.When you come to dine, take notice of the original Pastry Cooks cupboard, which was salvaged from the original kitchen and refinished to retain the building's historic charm. Experience Gull Lake's best restaurant and enjoy Cragun's dining legacy.

    We were seated promptly in the separate room from the bar and main dining area. We were a party of 5. Service was great! Drinks came out in short order and were prepared and served as expected. I have dined at Lure numerous times and been pleased with the service and quality of the entrees. The fish and chips here are always spot on and are made with walleye and the fries are delicious. 3 members of our party had them based on past experience and were not disappointed! One member of our party had the Buoy Burger and was pleased with the meal. I had Adobo Chicken entree with the buttermilk brined and crispy chicken. This was served on crunchy rice and the chicken breast is stuffed with Chorizo sausage, cream cheese and smoked mozzarella. Presentation of the dish was great but the chicken was severely over cooked and dry. Would have been a great combination of flavors save for that fact. Will continue to enjoy the Lure and will give the chicken another try. Sandwiches and burgers here are always good! Try the Turkish.

    We had another great experience at Pike & Pint. The service is always friendly and welcoming. Their happy hour is top notch ($4 off of appetizers). We got the Ahi Bib Wraps and one of their flatbreads. Both were delicious! My wife had the Smokin' Gouda chicken sandwich while I had the Korean Beef tacos and they were tasty. We love that we can count on a great experience at Pike & Pint when we drive up to our cabin.

    It was a Friday Trivia Night on a long weekend so it was a rollicking fun time. We love the friendly helpful staff and good food.

    Great dinner at Irma's. It was a beautiful evening, sat outside on their patio with a great view of Gull Lake. Paige, our server, was excellent. Irma's offered several dinner specials. The appetizer and entrees my husband and I ordered were very good. Looking forward to visiting again next year.
