Great southern tradition. Fast and friendly service, nice seafood with good sized servings. Sweet hushpuppies. Casual dining in a simple, relaxed setting.

Great hushpuppies! This was very convenient to where we stayed and it was recommended by a gentleman who once lived there and knew the great food they served!

We have been traveling to Kiawah for years, and we love to stop at Gilligans! We have a great dinner for a great price!

We were encouraged to go to Gilligan's by the management of the RV park and given a coupon for a free Key Lime Pie or $5 off on an appetizer. We went at noon on Easter Sunday and had good service. Greeted with a basket of Hush Puppies. DW usually does not like them but these are slightly sweet and... More

My husband and I were looking for a restaurant close to our hotel, I wanted seafood and Michele and Samantha at the front desk recommended this one. My husband had Grilled Chicken Breasts, Red Rice and the Okra. I had the Fried Oysters and Greek Shrimp with Okra and a small Salad which I couldn't eat. When they brought our... More

I found the food to be just barely fair for the price, but could easily have overlooked that if the service was not so slow and the bartender was not so unbelievably rude and snippy. My overall experience was not so pleasant, and I probably won't return again, which is unsual for me as I am not hard to please.

I know it is hard to serve a party of 8. We went on a semi-busy Friday night. After a short wait, we were seated and the waiter was very efficient and professional throughout the meal. What disappointed every one of us was the poor quality of the food. We all have been regulars at this restuarant for many years,... More

Our family has made a visit to Gilligan's an essential trip any time we visit nearby Edisto Beach. The lunch menu is reasonably priced, the service is always great, the food is good, and the hush puppies are to die for. This most recent visit was no exception, trying out their new fish taco which was great. The owner almost... More

Hubby had visited Gilligan's in John's Island several times for work trips, and took me here on my first visit to Charleston. Lunch time is a great value, as a dinner is quite a bit pricer but only for a little more food I believe (and I can't eat that much anyway to make it worth it). Excellent hush puppies... More

My wife and I both had low country boil and it was excellent. The other couple had something different, cant remember what. The calamari was also excellent.
