“My friend and I went on Saturday night. We both had a drink and ordered appetizer while looking at the menu. Our waiter was right there with our hot appetizer within minutes. We both ordered shrimp and scallops coleslaw hush puppies along with our fried calamari appetizer. Our food was one of the best we've had in and around Bradenton/Sarasota. The atmosphere was perfect and service was the best. I cant wait to go back.“

“The best hole in the wall/dive bar around. Great atmosphere and consistent food. Bar staff is awesome and will go out of their way to make you feel at home. I’ve taken numerous guest, relatives, clients there. Awesome place to sit and have a few drinks, eat decent food and listen to some good music from the past.“

“My family and I ate at Gilligan's 2 weeks ago. After telling my friends at work about it, 2 of my co-workers have made the trip down specifically for the nachos! We plan on going back again. It's well worth the almost 2 hour drive for us.“

“My favorite bar is Sarasota/Bradenton. The food reminds me of back home in Pennsylvania. The people remind me of a combination of the best people from the Eagles, Moose, and Elks combined with a family reunion of my favorite family members. I love this place.“

“HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Stopped here looking for a place to kill time with our boys before a flight. Adam took care of them nonstop with Shirley Temples while we enjoyed Happy Hour adult beverages at amazing deals. Great ambiance, outdoor Florida breeze, a ton of tv’s for games, terrific drinks and outstanding service. GREAT, GREAT PLACE!!“

“I can’t thank event coordinator Colleen enough for helping me organize our baseball team’s party! We had an amazing time today, it couldn’t have gone any better!! Our waitress Bo was also absolutely amazing!“

“I stumbled on this gem after googling for a restaurant near me that wasn’t a chain or overpriced. I didn’t expect to choose a sports bar, but it’s the best decision I’ve made since I moved to Sarasota a year ago. I had a lb of the chicken thigh fingers with half of their Outback flavor (a must try if you like a little spice) and the other half in mango habenero. I also had an order of the curly fries. Total: $13 bucks. I would’ve paid twice that. The flavors just bursts into your mouth! The sauces tastes homemade and the texture was just right. The atmosphere was top tier with a friendly bartender who seems to be well liked by the regulars. I will definitely make this my guilty pleasure of the month. I love supporting a family establishment, especially one who is a “Friends”sitcoms lover!“
