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.

Oh my! This was our very first visit, and went last night for the special dinner event for their season opening. Did we ever have a gastronomic experience last night at Irma’s Kitchen in Cragun’s Resort!!! We had 3 appetizers, wedge salad, 4 entrees: duck, two pastas and one salmon, dessert of strawberry shortcake and macarons. One glass of wine was Included in the price per person. Incredible!!! Our server, Pauline, was excellent, efficient and fun to have her take care of us. We also met, Melissa, the events & dining manager, and we had an enjoyable conversation. We will be back to Irma’s Kitchen during our stay this summer!

Excellent meal. We started with the brussell sprouts appetizer and they were cooked to perfection. My husband had the steak Oscar and I had the roasted half chicken. Both were exceptionally delicious. For dessert, I had the chocolate torte with strawberry puree and it was one of the best things I've ever eaten. My husband had the creme brulee and thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm not sure of our servers name (Elona?), but she was absolutely outstanding; friendly, helpful and there when we needed something, but never hovering. She also made some exceptional cocktails! We had a great experience and would highly recommend Char.

We took our son, his wife and 4 grandchildren ages 2 to 14 to dinner. We were seated right away and greeted quickly. The service was reasonably fast. Our server was friendly and accurate. They had a good selection for the children and adults. I had the walleye and it was delicious.
