Ernie's on Gull

Fun to see the mansions on the road to Ernie's. Smash burgers and fries are great. Loved the cheese curds. Bisque okay. Cocktails are good. Prices fair, service great. Bathrooms clean and festive!

Casual, friendly atmosphere. The waitress was friendly, helpful, and attentive. The bartender offered a generous pour of bourbon, and the food was phenomenal. I had the best walleye sandwhich I've ever had, and my wife really enjoyed her smoked turkey and bacon sandwich. All of this for a very reasonable price.

Beautiful location with fantastic views. Some pretty fun menu items featuring seasonally appropriate choices. Service has always been appropriate. Pretty good wine list, house special cocktails and a fair draft selection. Prices aren’t the best, but I factor in the quality of atmosphere.

Loved the atmosphere at this place. Please note: there is some confusion with getting a table. If dining outside, talk to the hostess at the corner of the restaurant toward the dock. If dining inside, make sure you talk to a SERVER. There is a woman who sells "pull tabs" at the front inside the restaurant but she does not work there. The views of Gull Lake are beautiful at this place. There was live music outside when we went, which was a lot of fun. There is a playground outside and plenty of parking across the street. The food was decent but expensive for what you get. You're looking at $20 for a sandwich and fries. Elote burger was good, muffaletta was just okay. Cheese curds are pretty good. Lobster bisque was very good and a huge portion. I suggest splitting a sandwich. Service was pretty good considering how busy it was on a Friday.

Great atmosphere and beautiful views of the lake. The food was pretty good

Visiting from out of town and made a point to try a new place. The place has a pretty relaxed vibe, and the menu has some interesting selections. The baked Havarti was wonderful, as were the shrimp tacos. And you can't beat a view of the lake while dining.

Our family of six (kids age 8 to 17) ate here after a long day of fun in Brainerd. It was very busy on a Wednesday evening at 5:30 pm. We waited about 45 minutes for a table on the patio. While we waited, we ordered drinks and relaxed at a picnic table and Adirondack chairs by the water. Our 8 year old enjoyed the swing set and volleyball. The food was excellent. We had burgers, sandwiches and chicken strips. The service was prompt and friendly. We will definitely go back if we are ever in the area again!

Easily the best spot on the lake. Laid back vibe with great food, solid drink list, and a prime atmosphere. The food is far better than the pizza joint on the other end of the lake, and more reasonably priced than a “supper club” - the walleye tacos are always a great choice. Plenty of seating inside and out, both offering great service. Worth the drive - highly recommended.
