Located at the southern end of Cragun's Resort, Irma's Kitchen celebrates a tradition of good cooking and scratch-made food.

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.

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.
