From an ample menu to quality food and a pleasing atmosphere, Gilligan's delivered for these tourists. The dining room is sort of comprised of 2 environments - a sports bar (better than it sounds) and a more traditional space without TV's. The service was very good and the food delivered hot. Don't be put off by my mention of Sports... More

The food was excellent. The staff was friendly. Stopped by during a business trip and spent a couple evenings here. Would absolutely visit again and would recommend it to anyone. Family dining, bar, booths, pool tables, darts, and not cramped. Enjoy!

Typical restaurant, try it. Nice staff, reasonable prices. this is not a chain restaurant. On one side there is a bar and on the other a restaurant. It is very clean. It seems to be a spot where locals are going. perfect for a family dinner.

Food is always consistently good as is the service. We go here a lot as we live close by. Food is reasonably priced as well. Would recommend.

My wife & I recently ate here during a stay in Harrisburg. It was located close to our hotel & with the favorable reviews on TA we decided to go there. We ate in the dining room....the bar area seemed to smell of smoke. We were waited on promptly and the overall wait service was very good. We both ordered... More

We stayed across the street and decided to try the place. I had an excellent clams and pasta dinner. The balance of the group had sandwiches and they were good. I would recommend the place.

My wife and I had Sunday dinner at Gilligan's Bar and Grill, just off US 22 East of Harrisburg. We ate in the dinning room. Service was very top of the line; the food was served quickly and was delicious. Priced about twenty to thirty dollars per plate we both had a wonderful experience. I highly recommend Gilligan's and suggest... More

Let me tell you....I don't like organizing retirement parties....you only get one chance to do it correctly. Gilligan's on Eisenhower made it easy. I made the arrangements with Karen and Tina...Two wait staff assigned to our floating group of 20-30 people.....GREAT food, wonderful service, flexibility with the needs of the group. I would highly recommend this restaurant for the --... More

While staying in the local Harrisburg area, Gilligan's was recommended to me. My hotel had the complete takeout menu and it was easy to find from Route 81. I was alone and I was treated courteously, promptly and quickly by the Staff. I had a Haddock sandwich with fries and a chocolate sundae for dessert. Food was very hot with... More

The picture on this review depicts the Allentown/Jonestown location and the review is for the Eisenhower Blvd location. Lunch specials are probably the best thing here. You will get a really nice meal, with quality ingredients, for an acceptable price and usually get great service. Bar is also hopping on most nights, definitely on the weekends.
