Misty CaldwellWe've lived here since 2009 and came here for lunch before a movie. I want to first mention the establishment is military friendly and offers military/veteran discount. The server was friendly, answered our menu questions, and provided suggestions. They provide a basket of hushpuppies for the table, which was a pleasant surprise! The breading and overall flavor was slightly sweet and they were cooked perfectly. Crunchy outside with a softer inside. The flounder and shrimp were also cooked perfectly and had a nice breading. The Pimento Cheese Chicken Sandwich menu photo looked amazing, so that's the next item to try on a future trip.

Eugenia Bolton⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ We stopped by Gilligan’s during our visit and overall had a pleasant experience. The servers were pretty young, and you could tell some of them are still learning the ropes, but they were friendly, polite, and doing their best, which we appreciated. We were originally seated inside, but it was a little too cold for our liking, so we chose to eat outside instead. The only downside was that the flies quickly realized we had food and decided to join us for lunch too! 😂 As for the food, it was fresh and flavorful. My husband and I both ordered the shrimp and fries. The shrimp were cooked perfectly and tasted great. The fries were a bit on the salty side, but the hush puppies absolutely stole the show—they were hands down the best thing on the table. My daughter ordered the crab cake patty and really enjoyed it it was an actual crab cakes on top of a meat patty 😅🥰 while my little one happily devoured his cheeseburger. My oldest had the chicken sandwich and felt it was just okay—nothing terrible, but nothing particularly memorable either. Overall, the food was good, the atmosphere was relaxed, and despite a few minor hiccups, we enjoyed our visit. We'd definitely come back for the shrimp and those amazing hush puppies alone! If you're looking for fresh seafood and a casual dining experience, Gilligan’s is worth a stop. 🦐😊 Sn: As you can tell by the pictures, everyone was hungry and couldn't wait 3 mins for me to get a picture 😂😭😭

Chuck ZiethenServer was very accommodating, pleasant and attentive. Food was good as usual. Not crowded at all (Sunday 5:15PM). I ordered what I usually do - Oysters Rockefeller! Highly recommend them.

Irby LangleyWe hadn't been here in 10 years because we moved. We came to visit family and went out, our server was amazing! Spencer took great care of us. They personally handmade an appetizer that they no longer carry on the menu. The food was delivered on time, delicious, presentation was spot on and the price is great. I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant.

JayJay BuggsI haven't eaten here in a long time but decided to stop by to support a small business. The service was good and the food was good. My calamari could have been fried a little harder, but this just means that I will tell them this the next time. We will be back.
