Sorry, but I was very disappointed to pay $12 for a salad with our pizza. My son and I split a pizza and both wanted a salad so the salad bar was the only option. Bartender never warned us that pizza doesn't count as a meal and we were charged $24 for two small salads and a cup of soup. With tax and tip thats more than $30. Very disappointed.

There was 7 of us who went there to have steaks. Well not 1 of us got the steak we ordered not 1. My sister and I sent ours back. My other sisters was so spicy hot she had to take it home and clean it up. Wouldn't you think they would ask you if you wanted that. We all spent over 30.00 on our meal and it was a waste of our time and money. I doubt if we will ever go back. By the way soup was good.

Really sub-par experience. We have dined here maybe two or three times a year, without notable issue in the past. Tonight the food was odd and served cold, by an obviously new, nervous, and grossly undertrained and under supervised waitress. I don't hold her primarily responsible. I think the fault here lies with ownership and management. We ordered drinks and sandwiches, and an app of cheese curds. After taking our order the waitress then delivered our appetizer and sandwiches together and asked if we needed anything else. We told her we hadn't received our drinks yet, and she apologized and dropped off one of the two rushing from the bar to the kitchen. We never saw her again until she came to clear our table, so we couldn't ask for the missing drink, tartar sauce for the fish, or ranch for cheese curds. We actually asked another server for them but didn't get them. As she cleared the table she noticed she hadn't brought the second drink. She said she'd remove it from the bill. She came back several minutes later apologizing that ONLY THE OWNER COULD ADJUST THE BILL, BUT THEY WEREN'T HERE TONIGHT (??!!) In short, I was presented with a bill including an item I had not received, with a "sorry, but I have to charge for it." This owner needs to do better. It is too late for us. Chetek has too many other good restaurants to do this again.
Vegetarian options: Really the only menu item fit for a vegetarian is a made to order pizza. We ordered a cheese sandwich without bacon, but it was bland without it - I'm not complaining about an order I requested a modification too, I'm thinking it would be easy enough to add another item or two to the vegetarian options in a kitchen that does scratch cooking. Your competition manages to do it, albeit off-menu on occasion. As a vegetarian, I own the fact that my option is frequently a grilled cheese. It is unusual to have to request that bacon be left off of it. The addition of avocado and tomato is usually a welcome addition, but this sandwich was very bland.

Best food and service in town you can't go wrong. Good place to be stranded lots of drinks and food choices.
They forgot two of the five entree's on my take out order.

Food is okay. Drinks are decent. But they kept skipping my music because old people didn’t like it. Like, midway through a song it would just advance to the next song cause a group of cranky old people whined about it. Come on.
Gourmet cheese curds. That's all I got to say about Gilligan's. They're called gourmet for a reason. Great Bloody Mary's, too!

Gilligans is truly a great place. About to leave WI for the year after my grandfather, brother, and I ate here everyday for the whole week! The place is beyond creative and fun and the staff is amazing. Lexi and Jennifer stuck out especially to us as they were the most welcoming and helpful when it came to their services. We also were Jennifer’s first table ever and she was so sweet and willing to get anything answered for us. The overall staff is always so sweet and the food is great as well. Gilligans also has games, a bar, bathrooms, as well as indoor and outdoor dining! You can’t get much better than Gilligans. I can’t wait to come back next year and hopefully see some familiar faces. :)

Gilligan’s is the best restaurant ever!!! With their mouthwatering dishes and impeccable service, every visit is amazing. The atmosphere is fun and vibrant, and the flavors are out of this world. When I come to Chetek with my sister and grandfather we eat here all 7 nights we stay! It’s a perfect restaurant and they have the most delightful staff to make the experience even better. We were lucky enough to have Jennifer and Alexa twice each as our severs they are the best!! They’re so kind and helpful and always made us happy. The Mac and Cheese is the best item on their menu I wake up dreaming of the taste of it. Gilligan’s is the best restaurant on this planet and I’ll never get sick of it!!!!

I recently dined at Gilligans and had an extremely disappointing experience. The food was subpar, to say the least. The chicken tenders were obviously store-bought frozen chicken and was disturbingly grey inside.
When we approached the owner to request a refund, not only was there a complete lack of professionalism, but we were also treated with utter disregard. We felt as though we had been robbed of our money.
If you’re considering visiting this restaurant, I strongly advise against it. Save yourself the unpleasant experience and steer clear of this distasteful establishment.
