    Turkey salad sandwich
    Tracy E.

    I visited Ernies for the first time yesterday. It was very good! I got the walleye sandwich, which was delicious. My friend got the turkey salad sandwich, which she also enjoyed. The service was also excellent. Overall, I strongly recommend Ernies and will definitely return!

    And the wildlife is right there too.

    We thought we would have a small shrimp appetizer. We were wrong. The portion was huge and the flavor was fabulous! We got the East coast style. Which I highly recommend. The waitress was excellent and knowledgeable. The view was perfect and the small band they had playing was perfect. We are so glad we found this place and we will be back. In fact I'm hoping to find an Airbnb close to there. It's that good.

    We always have a good time coming here! In the summer they usually have live music and it's a great spot to have a drink by the water and relax. The prices are a bit high but I feel like you pay for the ambiance. They have vegan burger options which was great and we tried their green drink! Parking can be a little but limited on popular nights but it's free which is great.

    Amazing food, service was quick and the easy accessibility to the lake cannot be beat! Plenty of space for boats, outdoor seating, yard games and a playground for the kids makes the environment a go-to. Very enjoyable experience and would love to go again. I got the Vietnamese inspired bowl and it was light, delicious and refreshing!

    Soft Pretzel Bucket (4/5) $16

    Excellent food and service. Order the pretzel bucket app, Swedish Goat Burger, Lobster Bisque soup, salads, and Saturday Prime Rib special. SKIP the Greenie drinks. We had a late dinner so it was too dark to enjoy the lake view scenery, but the interior decor was okay - definitely a cabin vibe. Our daughter's basketball team was there for a weekend tournament so we had a very rowdy and large group of 36. Not only did our waitresses flawlessly take our orders, serve our drinks, apps, soups, salads and entrees timely, but she also figured out our separate checks per family despite the fact that the team sat separate from the parents. She deserved that big tip! Here's what we tried: Soft Pretzel Bucket (4/5) $16 HUGE bucket shared by the entire table of 36. Great pretzels and cheese sauce. Didn't try the mustard sauce but I wished for a bit more salt. Swedish Goat Burger (5/5) $17 This sucker lasted me 3 delicious meals! A must try if you like goat cheese and lingonberries (like small cranberries). The caramelized onions and large bacon strips made the burger perfect IMHO. Lobster Bisque Soup (4/5) $4 very flavorful, filling, rich and creamy. I had no detectable slivers of lobster though. Saturday Prime Rib special (5/5) $29 for the large 16 oz portion. Best meal at the table. Everyone's steaks were cooked to order perfectly. The side salad was LARGE and fresh. 3 at our table ordered the Greenie drink since we heard it was their drink specialty. I could feel the alcohol but couldn't taste it. Good lemon-lime flavor but it was SO sweet, it gave us tummy aches. None of us finished the Greenies and we all switched to other drinks. Our daughter and her friend shared the chicken strip bucket and the classic burger. She said both were good but nothing special.

    This is a very popular restaurant on Gull lake. Many people come by boat while enjoying the lake. you got a beautiful view of the lake while you're enjoying your dinner. My pistachio crusted walleye was delicious along with all the other food on their menu. we had a sweet young waitress that took care of as well while I was visiting my family.

    We are on our Great Northern Adventure vacation. We left Cincinnati about a week ago and got as far north as Ely, MN. We were headed toward Nisswa and Brainard and used YELP to help us find a good, local restaurant. We decided to try Ernie's on Gull Lake. Little did we know it would be packed because Ernie's was hosting an Octoberfest Celebration that day. The restaurant was packed, both inside and out. There was a special menu to celebrate Octoberfest and there was live music and lots of revelers dressed in costume. Our waitress, Aftyn, couldn't have been nicer. My wife is handicapped and has some difficulty getting around and everyone there was Minnesota Nice while helping her. We were celebrating our own special memory so this Octoberfest discovery couldn't have come at a better time. The food was wonderful, but the TIGER CAKE was over the top. In years of traveling I don't think we have ever had anything quite like this!!!!
