We were going to go someplace else for seafood but the wait was just incredibly long. So we came to Gilligan's by default after hunting for an alternate place online. What a Divine Intervention! The food was good and we had a wonderful server named Natalie who contributed to our great dining experience. The complimentary hush puppies were unexpected but so delicious! Our entrees were unexpectedly large. So to-go boxes were necessary. We get to continue the tasty experience at home. Yummy! The manager Jesse was very kind as well. We left there happy and full. I would definitely go back again

Great place to eat. Seafood is excellent. Had the grilled crab cakes. Actually had more crab than bread in them. My husband had the seafood trio meal. Shrimp were large and cooked perfectly, Mahi Mahi was delicious. My son had the crabby patty. He said it was good.

The food was okay. Ordered the fish tacos. The fish was huge, but the menu said coleslaw and a red chili sauce came on the tacos, but when I received the tacos, there was nothing on it. I asked our waitress about it, and she said they didn't come with anything on it. I'm slightly disappointed about that. Maybe they should change what the menu to what they actually serve on the food.

Came in for dinner and it was almost empty only 1 table at 6:30 pm. We sat ourselves like the sign says and no one ever acknowledged us. Waitress walked by three times but never stopped. We waited patiently, but then two other tables came in and sat themselves. The same waitress went over and greeted them and gave them menus. Granted we have been sitting waiting 15 mins at this point. We got up and walked out we see why the place is empty. The service is terrible I can only imagine what the rest of the visit would have been. We will never be back believe that.

Liz was our waitress. She was great. Give her a raise.
this place changed ownership and had their ups & downs, but the food is close to where it used to be.always fresh and good;the wait staff is trained well but the hush puppies are missing something- tell me i'm wrong**update**i went to high school with a guy named Mark Christian and if i remember, correctly- his parents owned or operated the ladson rd location. i think they moved and so i assumed ownership had changed. apologies for the misinformation and keep up the good work!!p.s. how about a friday & saturday special; fish & fries for $12.99 b4 5pm?(shrimp & fries or oyster po boy and fries too)

I was there for a seminar and I ordered the flounder with fries and coleslaw. I must say the flounder was very flavorful and cooked to my liking which was nice and crisp but not too crisp. The fries weren't as crunchy as I'd like for them to be but tasted ok and I was surprised at how I really liked the coleslaw.i asked for an Arnold Palmer and it was one of the best Arnold Palmers I've ever had. The staff was very nice and so was the atmosphere. I'll definitely be returning.
