The restaurant was spotless and well-kept, and I appreciated that the employees were wearing face masks and gloves. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, which is a nice touch given the ongoing COVID-19 precautions. I ordered a shrimp po'boy, and I was pleasantly surprised by the generous portion of shrimp. Overall, I would give this restaurant a five-star rating for its prompt service and flavorful, hot food. I will definitely return and will recommend it to friends and family looking for a great seafood experience in the area.

Excellent fried and grilled shrimp, which are enormous by the way, but nothing too greasy! Very clean, speedy service that brings food right to your table. And the view was phenomenal. I was in a pasta mood so I got the fettuccine and I 'll definitely be coming back for more. If you 're looking for seafood without the crowds, this is the place. Will also mention their alcohol selection is great. Drive here. Search no more.

Let me just start out by saying don't judge this place from the outside or even the inside for that matter, because after you order and turn the corner towards the drink machines you see they have a nice sized deck to eat on with a great view of the harbor! The staff they had working tonight were very friendly and helpful about the menu, and whoever they had cooking the food tonight did an excellent job! I ordered the mahi-mahi sandwich had it blackened and fries for my side, probably some of the best blackened mahi-mahi I've ever eaten! My wife and son really enjoyed their meals as well! This place was really up my alley, cause besides it having great food, great atmosphere and great staff they had my favorite genre of music playing the whole time, Reggae!!! It was the best dinner so far during this vacation, thanks again Gilligan's for a great experience!
