Gilligan's And Grill - Mechanicsburg

We had a reservation for 14 people at 7:30 PM for a wedding rehearsal dinner, but we finished earlier than expected. I called the restaurant, and they kindly accommodated us, letting us in early without any issues! Our waitress, Carmen, was fantastic—she was always attentive and on top of everything. I just wanted to express my gratitude for all the wonderful service we received. Thank you!

The food was well-prepared, though it wasn't particularly extraordinary. It was decent, and the prices reflect the higher end we’ve come to expect. For instance, $18 for a pound of wings felt a bit steep, so I opted for a different menu item. There is a wide range of options available, including salads, nachos, ribs, pasta, handhelds, wings, and steak. I decided on the crab cake sandwich, which was quite good and came with fries. The restaurant also features a nice bar area for watching sports, and I noticed they have a pool table in the back. Our total came to about $30-35 per person, which included a couple of drinks as well as tax and tip. Most items on the menu range from $15 to $25. I would definitely consider dining here again whenever I'm in the area.

Our server/bartender started off strong, but after taking our drink orders, his attentiveness faded, and his demeanor changed. We kicked things off with the crab-stuffed mushrooms, priced at $16 for four very bland pieces. We were still hopeful for the entrees, but my partner's choice of the full rack of ribs, while better than my dish, still wasn’t worth the price. The fries were decent, but that was about the highlight. I ordered the 8 oz filet with steamed broccoli and a side salad. The salad was standard—nothing special there. My steamed broccoli, however, was barely cooked and completely devoid of seasoning, as if it had just been taken from a bag. It seemed like it had been cooked for barely a minute. The steak was cooked well, but again, it lacked any seasoning. For $34 for just one meal, we would have expected at least some effort in flavor. Overall, spending over $100 for bland food and mediocre service is disappointing. I definitely wouldn’t recommend this place and won’t be returning. If you’re in the area, I suggest you try Duke's instead; it’s more affordable and offers much better quality food with actual flavor.

The absolute the worst experience!! I didn 't want to give any stars, but you have to in order to give a review. First off it took the 4 servers about 5 minutes to seat us with only 9 customers already seated. Our starter was good then it was all downhill from there. My husband and I were out for our anniversary lunch and decided to get dinner instead BIG MISTAKE!!! We orderedsimple seafood that was what they have listed as MARKET PRICE That was not my issue for this VERY BAD REVIEW. When ordering wecould not get a baked potato with our meal unless we didn 't mind them being microwaved. When our food came out my husband 's foodwas so cold and unediable. At that point we were done!!!! NEVER EVER AGAIN!!! O but the Manager offered us free desert REALLYno thanks

Large menu with plenty of choices. Sesame crusted tuna was made just right and they made it that way to go with the Oriental salad. Very friendly waitress. Outdoor seating was available even if a little loud right near the road. They have lantern fliescrawling nearby (not not at the table! so I hope they'll take care of that soon.
