How much does the buffet cost?

No buffet

It say all you can eat on the sight , Is it a buffet? Do they have happy hours ?and what time

Not a buffet. More like a bottomless plate.

Are the raw oysters good? Are they fresh?

Got them back in June an they were fresh. Very good

Why are they getting away with charging a mandatory 10 percent tip when you pay your bill? Tipping is not a law but this restaurant makes it mandatory..

It wasn't on our bill (party of 6). We had great service and great food. However, I was at another local establishment (Fudruckers)that charged us a 10 percent service fee per check for splitting checks!

Is this place dog friendly?

No they don't allow pets.

Do they have all u can eat crab legs

No.They have all you can eat popcorn shrimp & white fish includes slaw fries & hushpuppies for 13.99+tax.

Went to giligans not open

We open today for the 2019 Season! We will probably close again in the off-season around the first week of November.

Do you have TVs to watch sports?

I believe so if my memory is correct.

How much does the buffet cost?

No buffet. Sometimes all you can eat shrimp or fish cost is 20. Per person.

My family was in Destin 6/14/20-6/21/20 and it has been our tradition to watch the Thursday night fireworks and enjoy the All You Can Eat shrimp and fish for years. We were saddened to lose this tradition on our trip and were told it is gone “indefinitely.” We also missed the gentleman who greets us every year, as he is part of the pleasant experiences we have had. I’m still rating 5 stars based on past experiences, although this year’s experience was sad. Please find a way to bring this option back because it is the one thing that set your restaurant apart from others in the area.

Very affordable and tasty. The service was fast and the workers were super nice. You don't even have to ask for sauce because you can grab as many as you want near the drink refill area. The sauce is kept in little cups with lids and even refrigerated.

Seaside seafood bar and grill. Prices are moderate and the menu definitely goes from standard seafood to chicken fingers so they have a large variety.They also do specialty dishes like red beans & rice, seafood gumbo, & jambalaya.

My family and I eat here every year when we go on vacation. The food never fails to please. It’s priced very well, and you certainly get what you pay for. The service is great. The staff is usually very friendly. Overall a great place to eat out.

Had the blackened Snapper. DELICIOUS! New Potatoes, spot on. (green beans a little over done but great flavor) Angie behind the bar and Stacey running the show was a perfect end to a rainy day at the beach

Better prices than a lot of the local seafood spots. Nice outside deck to enjoy a meal and the outdoor beauty. It is picnic tables so a bit more casual. Lots of delicious fried food and my wife's fish tacos were delicious. Also they have great prices on Parasailing, Jet skis and Pontoon boats. Definitely can't go wrong by stopping at Gilligan's.

Place is kinda small, walked in to a line to order our food. Stood in line about 30 mintues, not much to choose from to eat. Sat outside at picnic tables, waited forever for mediocre food. Best part was we got to see fireworks!

The service was good and friendly! Some of the food was okay. The blackened Crab Cakes were disgusting. So was the cole slaw and Hushpuppies. The Fried Shrimp however was very good. Fried Pickles were very good too. We probably will never go back. I've had way better food down the road.

This was a very nice place to eat. It looks much smaller from the outside but was very spacious inside.There is seating outside as well with a nice view of the water if you prefer that.The staff was very friendly and eager to please and the food itself was very good.We had the Fried Calmari for our starter and Fried shrimp (which was all you can eat) and the Shrimp Po Boy.Everything tasted great and came out hot and fresh.I would recommend this place. It had a nice "fish house" feel to it and overall the experience was excellent.

Not the same. Like a fast food restaurant. They changed batter, slaw taste, huspuppies. Fries from bulk lower quality supplier. This is no longer a real restaurant but a fast food place. They also have raised prices tremendously with quality down. We were coming quite often but no more. Still has a view.

The food was priced appropriately for the quality of food. I had the pick two with the coconut shrimp and fried fish. The BEST fish I've ever had. Also, by far the best sweat tea in Florida!! Staff was great and it was the start of the off season so we had the patio and beautiful sunset mostly to ourselves.

Very accommodating the hostess altered the food selection to fit my dietary needs. The grilled fish was excellent. The restaurant has a funky local vibe out of the 60 but at the same time the restrooms were redone and imaculately clean! Enjoyed our visit the view of the harbor was great.
