Gilligan's On The Green

I hit up this restaurant while traveling and I'm so glad I did.I had their Shepherd's pie and it was probably the best shepherd's pie I've ever had. I also had a Cucumber Bliss mock tail by the recommendation of the waiter and it was very good.Highly recommend

Another yummy meal. Small group us -only 5. Two had the Gilligan's breakfast platter and that's loaded. Scotch egg for one in our party -looked good and was declared as such. I had the biscuits and gravy with an over/easy egg. Just as good as the last time. The breakfast sandwich (on a biscuit) was filling.Noticed several people enjoying the deck.We really like this spot! Service was good and the amount of food, and its tastiness never disappoints.

We made reservations and came right when they opened for brunch on a Sunday (11:00am). It may have been because we were there right at open, but they didn't seem ready to be open yet. The kitchen was incredibly slow and the service seemed frazzled. The food was decent, nothing special. The biscuit was not fresh. The space is huge, well decorated, and clean. I am willing to try them again later in the day or for dinner. We may have just caught them at a bad time.

Arrived on time for our reservation. Seated quickly. Our waitress was at our table very quickly and asked what we wanted to drink. We asked for a minute to go over the drink menu and food menu. They have a really nice selection of local brewed beers. They are affiliated with Westside Brewing Co., so they had some really good stuff on hand.Food! Well, we placed our drink orders and then looked over the menu. Pretty wide variety of items to choose from. My wife ordered the Shepherd's Pie. Very large portion, along with a single boxty ( sort of like a potato pancake). She only ate half but is looking forward to the other half for lunch tomorrow. I had the spicy fried chicken sandwich with slaw. Not too hot, but enough zip to give it some really nice flavor. Along with 2 boxty for the side. I will say, it was a bit noisy. I'm a bit of a sound geek (I am a sound tech so I have a db meter app on my phone) it was averaging around 80 db, which for a restaurant, is loud enough that you need to speak up in a conversation. Other than that, a really nice dinner. We are looking forward to going back and trying something else on the menu.

I am genuinely shocked Gilligan's On the Green has ever received anything but 5 star reviews. I would give 6/5 if I could. The majority of the food is made from scratch, in house, and it shows. Everything is seasoned SO well. Such spectacular Irish pub food. I ordered the potato & leek soup, boxtas (potato pancakes), beer battered fish and chips, and whipped potatoes. I would order every single thing again. The whipped potatoes would make the perfect addition to a Thanksgiving celebration. Be prepared when ordering that portions are HUGE. The soup comes with a boxta, so it's definitely a full meal on it's own. The beer battered fried fish comes with a huge piece of fish that is perfectly cooked, actually seasoned (sooo many places don't seem to add seasoning to their beer battered fish), and has the perfect ratio of fish to batter. My literal only critiques are that I prefer my tartar sauce a little tangier and the coleslaw wasn't amazing. Pro tip: Order a side of ranch for your fries. It's house made and has a lot of dill. YUM. The servers were SO kind and accommodating and checked on me several times. I am really excited to try more of the menu on future visits!

Oh what to say... This place had so many disconnects for us. It is probably an entirely different experience in the summer when you can enjoy the lovely outdoor space. When you walk in, there is a large foyer with tons of wasted space and no ambience or a host/hostess. On the left, there is a huge room with a total 80's country club vibe. On the right, there is a dark bar area with concrete floors and and a weird "we're trying to make this a bar space" vibe. I made reservations, but when we walked in, there was no one to greet us, and we certainly didn't want to sit on the left side, so we made ourselves comfortable at a high-top in the bar. Our server was grouchy at first, but then came around and you would think she was our best friend. As a matter of fact, she was so casual that I thought it unprofessional. However, we appreciated her friendliness and she did give us attentive service. The food.....first of all, everything was WAY over seasoned. It's like Lawry's salt was sprinkled too heavily. That said, the mussels were meaty and cooked well. We would have preferred a white wine sauce other than a tomato soup sauce. The grilled buffalo chicken sandwich and the burger were great. The grilled chicken dish over vegetables was very good. The chicken breast was cooked perfectly - very moist and tender. The Reuben rolls were good, but they needed more cheese and sauerkraut. They are the exact same ones they have at Dingle House. The best thing we had all night were the onion rings and fries. The fries are coated and were so crispy on the outside and pillowy on the inside. Our server told us that there was a new chef that has only been there one week. The best part of the ambiance were the bathrooms. They are updated, clean, and bright. They would need to up their game on many levels for us to return.

I was taking a trip back in time dreaming about my favorite restaurant in Wyoming where the brunch, lunch and dinner offerings were incredible - sadly, they went out of business - fortunately for us all the newest occupant of the historic space on the Commons is Gilligan's - The staff greeted us with smiles and recommendations of where to sit - we sat in the bar next to a window with a view of the commons - the tables were high tops and had stools that were comfortable - the weather was bright and sunny, the perfect backdrop for brunch - I ordered the Bangers and Mash breakfast - the sausage are sourced locally - I could've eaten a plate full of them bangers - the potatoes were seasoned perfectly, creamy and a nice complement to the dish - the experience was amazing and was made better by Matt - he was very attentive to our needs - and was very helpful when we had any questions! I am happy that we live so close - we'd like to try the dinner menu, drinks that look delicious, very nice wine list - I am happier that some great memories were made in the past and soon will be made in the future -

Once again our large group was well taken care of. There were 14 of us and I heard at least 6 people, plus me, say that they were impressed with the food. I heard no complaints . I had a bowl of Irish stew with an Irish potato pancake. I was impressed with both. They were both excellent. The stew had a fantastic taste to it that I couldn't identify. The potato pancakes was crispy, hot, and delicious. As is usually the case with our large group, we were there awhile, but we all left satisfied and saying we want to come back. Isn't that the best compliment a restaurant can get? If you try it, I bet you'll love it.

Gilliagan's on the Green was a very nice surprise. Though this was our first time, the ambience was familiar. Those who live on the West Side know. Service and food met the standards we've come to expect at other EP Investment Group establishments.Now on to the food. The first time I had a boxty was at an Irish pub in Omaha. When I saw it on the menu at Gilligan's, I knew we had to try it. We started off with the Burrata Potato Boxty. Everyone absolutely loved it. I could make a meal of this dish.Our friends both ordered the Erin Go Bragh Beef Stew. The were thrilled and raved about it. Score!I ordered the Jonathan Swift Reuben, which comes in three sizes. I ordered the smallest, the Lilliputian, and took half of it home. I can't imagine the size of the Gulliver or the Goliath! I loved the the "Handhelds" came with a side. I didn't get created and opted for the Pub Chips. They were perfectly crisped and spiced. So very good!Mark ordered the Pub Burger with a side salad. The salad was fresh and refreshing and he loved his burger. I think I'm going to be going back to Gilligan's very soon.

This used to be an amazing lunch spot for me and my wife. It has since changed ownership and our first experience was, well shocking. We were expected to get our own menus, condiments, silverware and bus our table, as well as go and request check. They refused to honor our gift certificate and said we should have followed them on social media. The menu was shrunk to a quarter of what it was and many signature items were removed. The food was average, it lost its flare, it really just tastes like frozen chain food. The beer taps and soda machine were dirty and did not taste correct. This is now just another chain restaurant, with average food and no customer service. Goodbye Gilligans on the green, you will be missed!
