Gilligans - Chetek

We have been coming to this place for 20 years and it has gone through a few owners in that time. Some have been good some not so much, but it's always been a popular spot right on the water with a great atmosphere, decent drinks, and varying quality of food. Visited for dinner 3x this year and the new owners seem to have focused on the food being better. Gone twice for Friday night fish fry and the quality of the fish has been a pleasant surprise. I distinctly remember last year coming in later in the evening for a fish fry and getting a baked potato that was a dried out relic. Ordered one this year and it was fresh and hot. Little things like that make a big difference. Fish seems to be hand breaded and they also offered a broiled option which comes with delicious garlic butter to dip it in. You can get soup and salad bar and the soup is always good although the salad bar can be a bit picked over if you come in later like we tend to... My dad has ordered the drunken captain chicken twice and raves about it. Even the picky eaters in our family are content going there. We had the same waitress on a couple trips and she is so friendly and attentive you never have an empty drink. I would say my only complaint is the old fashioned. They are so small you take a couple sips and it's empty. Bigger Glasses! Overall it seems like they are intent on moving this place in the right direction. It used to be the top spot in town and hopefully it is again! Lots of things to do...pool tables, video games, and they always seem to have music, trivia, karaoke or something going on. We haven't hung out in the tiki bar yet this year I'll leave that for the next review...

Ordered a couple wraps on Saturday evening while out on the pontoon. Pulled in amd found a dock spot. Place was hopping. Picked up food easily and were on our way. Hawaiian wrap was Deeeeelicious. The salsa in it was something I want more of. Always have liked the food. Will be back.

This restaurant has acquired new ownership within the past couple of months, which most likely negates some of the previous reviews. It was busy in the restaurant and on the deck when our party of four (4) went in for an early dinner. My overall review, for those with short attention, is that the food was good and the service has room for improvement. I had a four (4) piece chicken dinner. It came with coleslaw and I ordered tator tots as my side dish. The chicken was crispy and had great flavor. The coleslaw was creamy with great taste. The tots were tasty. My dining partners enjoyed their bang bang shrimp and hamburger. They were happy with their side dishes. One dining partner had the perch tacos. While they looked good, she said the taste was bland. Oddly, they came with a plain cup of white rice. The staff, which may have been affected by the shortages (most likely in the kitchen), could have been more attentive. Specifically, our young waiter, seemed distracted by doing things all over the restaurant. Probably not his fault, but did detract from the overall experience. Having ate at the restaurant several times over the years, I would say it is worthy of a visit.

Very cute place our server was flighty and forgetful forgot our drinks and brought our appetizers and main course at the same time then ran to get our drinks which we were given to cans of Luke warm soda, the food was awful yuk!

Service is slow and the food over priced and average at best. Entertainment at the Tiki bar this summer was subpar compared to previous summers.
