Yuck. Everything has a weird taste, almost to the point we couldn’t eat it. Don’t order the piña colada. Too sweet with a weird aftertaste. The restaurant sits on top of their outdoor pool so be prepared to listen to kids screaming. We went on a busy weekend where all the restaurants were packedbut this one. It was dead. Now I know why. If you’re looking for a restaurant on Gull Lake, go to Mission Point at Madden’s which is just down the street. Or Bar Harbor on the north side of the lake. Edit: I just read the other reviews and I’m appalled by how Craguns responds to their guests. Looks like it’s everyone’s fault but there’s that they have bad service and bad food. Cragun’s: Are you disheartened that a former employee wrote a review or disheartened you received a bad review? I worked in marketing, not food services. Guests at your restaurant have the opportunity to share their honest opinions on Google reviews. Whether I worked at Cragun’s or not doesn’t disqualify me from providing an honest review that may help others find a good restaurant on Gull Lake. It’s wonderful to know your chef and staff worked really hard to deliver exceptional food and beverages all season long, but the fact remains your food and beverages were nearly inedible. It's also worth mentioning that there are several other reviews echoing similar concerns about the food. Instead of focusing on discrediting reviewers, perhaps allocating more time to enhancing the quality of your cuisine could be more beneficial. We didn't communicate our dissatisfaction with the staff because we recognized there wasn't anything they could do to change the taste of the food. Instead, we opted to share our experience through this review, as a means to provide feedback. You have my number, feel free to give me a call if you really want to “obtain more details or ways you can make this right.”

Awful bar service sat at the bar for 20 minutes and the 2 girls waited on everyone else but us 9 2 23 will never go back !!’

I highly recommend coming here and ordering the Walleye dinner. This was one of the best fish dinners I ever had. Perfectly cooked with local wild rice and the vegetables were also perfectly cooked. Obviously a very experienced chef. Nice location on a lake

Great experience at Cragun’s until we came to this place. Our first experience we walked in with a larger party right before happy hour was over to order a drink and something for the kids to eat and they gave us dirty looks and asked if we have a reservation.the bar had 3 tables with guests. The server Ellie finally took our order and she seemed annoyed with us until she realized we were ordering some expensive drinks then she was fine.should have learned our lesson. We came back later in the evening for a few drinks(adults only). The best way I can put it is if you want to pay $10-15 bucks for 1/2 once pours then this is your place. I did finally ask the bartender to at least make my $12 drink with a shotglass and she lost it. Her manager Mellissa handled it worse than I will post here and should not work here. Guess it is hard to find good employees and I need to lower my standards. Everyone at this restaurant seems to be miserable at work.
