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.

Service was extremely slow! Food took over an hour after order was placed, group of 7. The kids meals arrived about 10 minutes after the adults. I guess we need to specify children should be served first. It didn’t seem too busy 1 table of 2 and 2 tables of 8-10 people, but the large groups seemed to be mostly drinking.

Server Abby went "above and beyond" assisting us. Even took a great family photo. Nice kids and a very visible manager working.

Appetizers over priced - 6 little steak bites for $18. The walleye egg roll was 1 cut into 3 small pieces. Service was good but not a busy evening - only 3 tables filled on patio and no one inside.
