Very good food we had being there a few times n we loved it !! We took our family there from Connecticut

The food is good you get a lot for your money. The service is great and I like the ambience of the river and I really like that you can pull up on your boat, tie off and have lunch.

Food was delicious I had the house salad flounder and shrimp platter with fries and hush puppies and of course a margarita which was just right. Will be returning customer service was exceptional .

Food was excellent. My wife had shrimp tacos., they were filled with plenty of shrimps and fresh fillings. The hush puppies were excellent, and my Flounder, fried shrimp, and fried oysters were outstanding. 5 stars for Tina our server and 3 stars for the cranky hostess that basically made me want to walk out the door before we even were seated. Don't let the cracks hostess deter you from good food, but also make sure to ask for Tina when you get in.

This place had the best snowcrabs I have had outside of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Seasoned perfectly and not dry, at all, as most steamed crablegs get. Our waitress, Grace, was a delightful and attentive young lady. Nice atmosphere and prices were reasonable. Highly recommend this place for your seafood fix.

We went there yesterday for lunch to celebrate my daughter's birthday. The food was cooked to perfection. There was nine of us and we all had fried shrimp and flounder, with various sides. The staff could not have been more friendly. Even though the restaurant was swamped with a couple of large parties, we were well taken care of. We will be going back!

One of my favorite restaurants in the low country! They have the best hush puppies and popcorn shrimp, and the portions are huge. Service is great and everyone is nice. The she crab soup was nice and creamy. Casual location that wasn't too busy on a weekday night, but could get much busier on the weekends. Definitely check this place out if you're looking for good seafood and hushpuppies.

Located on the tailrace canal, Gilligan's is a restaurant focused on seafood that's not pretentious but comforting. Getting there is fairly easy, parking is wide open and the view is outstanding. Walking up to Gilligan's is an experience as it's nestled right there on the river which varies in speed and height depending on how much water is being let out of the lake. There are a few tables up front but take the time to walk on the wrap around deck to back and spend some time on the river. It's therapeutic and humbling as you can see how a river has so much strength while remaining beautiful. Walking inside, the interior is extremely laid back with simple paintings, obnoxious ocean blues, mounted fish and aquariums. Don't walk in wearing a suit & tie as you'll be overdressed, rather enjoy your flip flops and light weight clothing. The waitstaff is extremely pleasant, knowledgeable and makes you feel like the top priority. Also notice when sitting at the simple tables that they have a built-in bucket! This is great when dealing with peal and eat shrimp, oysters, etc. So how is the food? Well, this isn't like eating at some pinky up establishment in Charleston, rather it's down home, low country cooking. That generally means fried seafood is the main staple. The apps are simple but extremely satisfying, in a way that you know the treadmill will get a lot more attention in the next few days. First the hush puppies are the best I've had in decades. Slightly sweet, slightly gritty from the corn meal and fried to perfection. I honestly put down a whole basket by myself. The fried pickles, if that's your thing, are good. For me it was a bit of salt overload so buyer beware. Other notables are the gator bites which "tastes like chicken" but good, and the shrimp dip. The dip is pretty good and was a nice change from fried food. For dinner I got the fried shrimp. At first I thought it was a little pricy but the shrimp are big, not over fried, tasty and you get plenty of them. I really liked the side of red rice as it reminded me of traditional southern fair. The crab cakes were ok but a little too much breading. I like crap cakes to barely hold together, void of fillers like tons of bread. My sister got the fish taco's and enjoyed them however she's not as descriptive as me so I have nothing else to report!
