Service was glacial. We ordered an app, calamari, which was okay but took forever to arrive. After that our entrees took forever to arrive. My wife’s salad was drown in salt and pepper almost too the point of being inedible. My steak was surrounded in gristle, which I had to saw away at to get at the under cooked meat. Neither of the kids liked their meals, not finishing and not wanting to bring home(that never happens). Server refilled some glasses but not all. Took an eternity too get and pay our check

Stopped at this restaurant as my colleagues and I were driving South. I travel the country and this is one of the worst places I’ve been too. Horrible service, no soap in bathroom, food was barely adequate. I had spanakopita – which was fine. I suspect it was frozen and warmed up. My steamed broccoli was fine – not over cooked. My colleagues had French onion soup and philly cheese steaks and they sad the food was marginal. It’s sad when the customer has to ask the hostess for a wait staff and also ask for soap to be put in the bathroom. I wouldn’t eat here, better options available.

My family has eaten at Gilligan’s many times and never had a bad experience. I have always been happy with the service and food. My personal favorite is the Chicken Katie. I have also tried the Chef Salad which is huge with plenty of meat, cheese and fresh vegetables. Crab cakes are good with almost no filler. The chicken and regular cheese steak sandwiches are good. Today I tried the Raspberry grilled chicken salad. I didn’t care for the seasoned chicken with the raspberry vinaigrette. It also had cucumber and shredded carrots on it which didn’t seem to mesh with the Crasins and walnuts. It wasn’t bad, just not to my liking. One complaint, and I see this in a lot of restaurants, is the bus boy was spraying cleaner directly onto the tables before wiping them. I could see a huge mist in the air around the tables. How hard is it to spray the rag and then wipe the table? Other than that the wait staff and hostesses are efficient and polite. It’s a casual restaurant but nice enough to go for a special dinner too.

Found this place when looking for food while driving north on I-81. A very pleasant surprise! Greek owned, the menu has a lot of of seafood choices which was what we were looking for. Crab stuffed shrimp was excellent.

Been there 5 times. I wanted to like it but I just cant. Food is expensive and service is just OK. Everything takes so long to get to the table. My beer took 11 minutes. Asked for another, I am not paying for warm beer. Won’t go anymore.

Went here for family dinner and was thrilled with the food. Everyone loved what they ordered. We each ordered something different and tried a little bit of each other’s food. Everything was out of this world. This was probably my 6th or 7th time here. Every time I visit Pa, I make it my mission to eat here!!!

I have only been to this place twice. Both times where for an after funeral gathering with 20 or so people. We set this event up with Belinda who was amazing. She walked is through everything and helped pick out a select menu. She catered to the few people with food allergies and made the whole event seamless. The food was awesome especially the Kobe beef meatloaf. I can not thank her enough for the good time that was had by all.

This place has a huge menu with a wide range of different options. I had a turkey sandwich with fries which was really good. I’d say the quality is a step up from diner food.

Stopped in when we were in town for a local lacrosse tournament and had no idea what to expect. They quickly accommodated our large party; the food was great and the service wasn’t too shabby either.

I have only been here once but I was pretty impressed with the menu and quality of the food. I chose the create your own pasta thing which was ideal for me. The angelhair pasta was excellent and the marinara sauce was decent. I also got mushrooms in it which was a great option to have. The menu is huge and there are choices for everyone. The Alfredo sauce gives everyone I know the shits though. Its very loud if you get seated near the bar, and we went around 6:00pm. The atmosphere was not exactly what I like, because of the noise it was hard to hear the people even at my table. I would go again if it was brought up. My stomach was a little upset the next couple days, but that could be unrelated.

All the food is of good sized potions. And all of it was very good. Staff was very friendly. The calamari was excellent.

Good food and nice atmosphere. Ordered prime rib which was a generous piece and cooked just the way I wanted it.

I have always avoided this place. It always looked trashy to me. I don’t like the parking arrangement and I never knew of anyone who actually ate here. At one point my friend told me she got a sub and it was OK. That didn’t change my mind any. Still, one day with lunch on my mind I ran through the list of places I hadn’t been to. Low and behold the closest was Gilligan’s. As we drove up to the place I remember complaining about the parking even before we turned in. We even had to sit and wait on some traffic trying to navigate their way out of the lot. All the while I’m admiring Taco Bell across the way while scolding myself to stick with my choice. It couldn’t be that bad. And it wasn’t! This place was great. Its even upscale! Forget the shoddy external appearance, the inside is pretty swanky. Now let’s talk food. While heading to our table we passed the daily specials board and I knew what I wanted. Perhaps it was spite in me, wanting to be right for having avoided this place for so long, but whatever it was I decided to order the Crab Cake. Now this may not seem like a big deal but rest assured crab cakes are something I often avoid while eating out. Why? Because if I wanted a $ 13 lump of stuffing I would go buy Stroehmann’s. Once again however, Gilligan’s got me. It was the best Crab Cake I’ve ever gotten at any restaurant. Additionally, the Lobster Bisque was just as hearty. The French Onion soup was cheesy, but in a good way, but kudos go to the appetizer. Its not too often that a restaurant comes up with their own unique plate that’s actually superb. Forget thawing out any mozzarella sticks for me. I want the Gilligan’s Alternative! In closing, the person who I ate with eventually came to find out his son had eaten here some time ago and hated it. It was trashy and the food was lousy. So I was right! Regardless, I am not sure when the revamp occurred but excellent job!

As a tourist, I probably was expecting more just because of what I had heard about the restaurant. It was good, service was friendly, and it was a clean environment, but the food was… Nothing spectacular. It was still good, if I were in the area i would probably go again, but it’s not a place I would necessarily recommend to anybody or take friends visiting from out of town.

The group I was with recommended this restaurant. Thought it would be more of a sports bar but it turned out they have an extensive menu. The salmon I ordered was a generous portion with a large choice of sides. The food came out hot and was perfectly prepared. No service issues and I plan to return here when I’m in the area. The high top table we were seated at could have had better lighting but that’s my only complaint.

I had the Sante Fe burger plate. It was good. Comes with chips, had to pay extra to get french fries. Also had Crab Stuffed Mushrooms appetizer. They were ok. Nice atomsphere! Not a dive at all. Good seating options, bar, tables, booths. I came to watch Football! It had lots of TV’s which I love! Food: 3+. above average. nothing great. Service: 4+. Very attentive. They were all dressed up for Halloween. Fun! Atmosphere: 4+. Nice! It has a back area that is more of a restaurant without the TV’s if you want that. All in all, not bad. Nice atmosphere, nice wait staff, I would like to try other items on the menu. Much better that other Sports bars I have been to.

I love this place. Service is always awesome and wait staff/bar tenders are always attentive. The burgers are pretty good. Good quality beef and a good overall flavor. We also like the spinach dip. It was VERY good and a mainstay of my bar apps there. A decent selection of beer and a pretty good local neighborhood bar. If you’re looking for really good bar food and few drinks without a long wait, then give this place a t ry. They also have a lot of TV’s for watching sporting events.
