Gilligan's Seafood - Destin

This was our first time to eat there. We were very pleased. I can no longer eat gluten and other kinds of food. For me to find a place where I can eat is very hard. I was so grateful they had a grilled chicken dinner with new potatoes. The portion size was great and the flavor was awesome. My friend ordered the popcorn shrimp and the portion amount was awesome also and the flavor was great. Everyone was very friendly.

Wow. I was looking for a low key seafood place for lunch and ran across Gilligan's. Don't be put off by the appearance, this place has great and fresh food. We had the fish dinner and the crab cakes, and both were better than what we've had in much more expensive restaurants in the area. The back deck is also nice in how it overlooks the bay. It's rustic, but lends itself well to the fish camp atmosphere. It's not fancy, it's not pretentious, it's just really good seafood at a good price.

We ordered take out online, received an order confirmation, the time it will be ready and everything looked normal. Google indicated the restaurant to be open and even had recent reviews. We went to pick up our order and the building is closed with all of the lights turned off. What an unprofessional operation they have going on here. If they closed seasonally, at least they should have had the decency to disable online orders. Very disappointing experience, waste of time and money, we will never be back.

The place was rustic nostalgic. Staff was really nice and patient. And the food was very delicious, filling, and you get a very nice portion. Will definitely come here again.

Wonderful place to eat with a great deck to view bay. Food was delicious and very fresh. Very kind and welcoming service.
