Gilligan's Seafood Restaurant-Summerville - Seafood restaurant in Ladson - 3852 Ladson Rd, USA

The floor is noticeably sticky upon entering the establishment. The service wasn’t awful but it wasn’t fantastic either. We were sitting for several minutes before the waitress came to get our drink order and the place was not packed. They bring out a basket of hush puppies which have potential but it seems they weren’t drained properly or were put into a fryer on a lower heat that they should have been. I ordered the shrimp tacos with a side salad the salad was delicious. The tacos were actually quite good. My one complaint is the pineapple salsa really just appears to be pineapple chunks and not an actual salsa. My son and daughter both had fried shrimp which were fine. The popcorn shrimp was a little soggy and the fries were slightly chewy. I think both of those issues could be resolved with a higher temperature on the fryer itself. The building seems older and has a little bit of a smell that older establishments tend to have. It wasn’t horrible and we’d go back

I was concerned about coming here due to the reviews, but I wanted shrimp and grits before we left the area. Unfortunately we dug in before the pictures were taken. Hush puppies (complimentary) were sweet and savory. The fried green tomatoes were fried perfectly with a great crunch! I was very happy with the cheesy grits and shrimp, cooked perfectly. My husband didn't care for the fish and chips, but only because he's used to a thicker white fish. All food came out nice and hot. The service was good and the manager took time to stop at our table to make sure everything was ok. Will return! The prices were fair too.

Really enjoyed this place! Get there early for happy hour and watch as the locals trickle in.. food was on point, and the service was great! We were told they have live entertainment as well. I just loved the atmosphere! Finding places like this makes my heart smile!

I try not to do 5/5 on everything but I've never seen staff go so far above and beyond without being asked. I've taken out from here 3 times: Once they gave me a large cup of soup instead of a small for free since it was my first time trying it, and another time they reheated and gave me a bunch of extra shrimp since the breading was less than perfect on my order (I didn't ask them to do that). On top of that, price is great for one of the only excellent seafood places in the area. Stop in and give them a shot!

I came here tonight for happy hour. After a rough day at work, I joined several friends had a great time unwinding! Kali is a great bartender! You should stop in and see her or some of the other staff as well.

This was ABSOLUTELY the best seafood my husband & I have enjoyed out of all the other restaurants we have tried. Our server, Kalie, was OUTSTANDING & I need to give a "shout out" to the chef! Everything from the fried green tomatoes to the oysters, okra, grits, hush puppies, shrimp & fish were cooked to perfection! We look forward to our next visit! Thank y'all for doing it up right!

First time here. Service was awesome. Fish & chips was over breaded, over seasoned & under cooked. Even the fries was highly seasoned. I'm a smoker, so for me to say that. It was BAD. Only thing to make me come back, is the staff.

The food is great. Our waitress was a doll. She was very attentive. It was later than we meant to go but they didn't make us feel rushed or an inconvenience at all. Definitely recommend!
