Our group from the Y went to Gilligan's Brewery for lunch today. It wasn't very busy and we were able to have a leisurely lunch. The service was friendly and accurate. The food portions seemed smaller than in previous visits, but was tasty and temp appropriate. read more

Been wanting to try this place ever since I saw an advertisement for Reuben eggrolls. So when my friend was playing in the band that was at Gilligan's tonight, I decided to go. The band is the Paddywhackers and they were amazing. Those Reuben eggrolls and cheese curds were also pretty amazing. The fish and chips was the biggest serving of fish I think I've ever got and the fries were delicious. The only drawback was the waiter seemed a little confused and didn't know who ordered what so they were going from table to table asking the people if this was their food, kind of seemed a little disorganized, but other than that, it was an amazing night. That was. read more

I keep hoping this place will get it together. great beer, wonderful location right next to the new Green in Wyoming, but somehow they just keep missing the mark. We stopped in last week for beer and French fries. Everyone was friendly, beer was fine, but the French fries were not right. Must have been the end of the bag, a bunch of little end pieces. plus $9.00 for a very small portion. Maybe check out French fries at Arthur's (3.50), The Davidson ($5 on happy hour and come with aioli), deSha's ($5.50). Frankly, the chef should never have sent them out to be served and the bartender should have refused to serve them. Who is paying attention at this restaurant? read more

Had a nice time here for an afternoon beer and an appetizer. We got the loaded fries which were fantastic. We got the large order, which was definitely too much for just two people (see picture). They have a ton of seating. You order at the bar for food and beers and they'll bring you your order to the table. The beers were decent. Definitely not my favorite beers in Cincinnati but pretty good. I would definitely go back and try some of their other food items and some more of their beers. read more

Had a nice time at Gilligan's. Fantastic location. Right on the green. There was live music on the green on Saturday night. The place was clean and lots of parking. The food was really good. Fantastic fish sandwich. The loaded fries were extremely loaded. Loved the rueben rolls. The wings were good but wish they had more crisp to them. The bartenders were super nice and quick. There aren't waiters. You order at counters. Food arrived quickly. I didn't understand why it wasn't more crowded. read more

We had no idea what to expect and were pleasantly surprised with the beer selection, which provided at least 10 taps of West Side Brewery and Gilligan's Brewery beers. The WSB selections were what you'd expect from your typical craft brewery, whereas the Gilligan beers provided a good selection of English, Irish and Scottish beer styles. I got a flight of the Gilligan brews and enjoyed all 4 and decided the ESB was my fave. Food: They don't have table service, so you order from the bar. I ordered the Spice Bag, which claims to be a traditional recipe you'll find in Irish restaurants. He got the fish and chips. The spice bag was great! It's made with fried chicken chunks, fries, broccoli, peppers and green beans, covered in a curry sauce. I thought it was great and appreciated the generous portion of vegetables. He loved the fish and chips. The fish was nice and flaky, and he said the batter wasn't too greasy. The fries were also much better than we expected. We had some leftover and felt they reheated very well in the air fryer. All in all a great experience. We'll definitely be back! read more

This is a nice spot for a drink or a meal. You order at the counter and find a spot to sit. They bring your food to you. Indoors has a beer hall feel with long tables. The outdoor space is nice when the weather allows. Bartenders were friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. If you're lucky you may land here on a night with live music indoors or maybe a concert on the green right next door. read more

Fun place in Wyoming. They have a selection of their own brews and brews for Westside brewery. The weather is getting warmer so stop in and sit outside on the patio. Their food is very good. They are in a DORA area. Soooo bring the kids... bring a football or soccer ball or baseball and a mitt. Turn them loose in the small park Nextdoor. Bring your beer out in the park and relax. One thing any gift cards for Gillian's on the Green will not be accepted here since this is now Gillian's Brewery. read more

Do t go for lunch. Place was empty. Worst Caesar salad ever for lunch. Yellow white romaine hearts, no green. Tasteless dressing. I love salt and this had way too much. The salmon I added was precooked and microwaved. Maybe it was a bad day. $45 for two and got plastic forks. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Not the same! Stopped in for late lunch today since it's been about a year since we enjoyed their fish and chips. We were given plastic utensils and though I did ask for stainless, we were told they didn't have any. Whats with that? Food was hot but fish was greasy and fries were not close to crispy. Won't be going back. read more

Amazing new spot in the Wyoming area. This is in the old Station BBQ building. There's a full bar offering house taps, taps from Westside Brewing, cocktails, and beer cans to go. Plenty of parking in the street or in the lot behind. There's a regular dining room, a back room for large parties, and the side room that holds the bar. I suggest make a reservation for now since they are new and popular. Irish themed menu with plenty of options. Portions are large so they fit the price. There's apps, soups, salads, entrees, sandwiches, and desserts. I did not notice a kids menu. We got an app and 3 entrees, some beer and cocktails. All were delicious! The only negative remark was that the salmon seemed under seasoned and it's skin-on salmon, which my friend doesn't like. Otherwise no complaints! Service was good, and we didn't have to wait long for anything even though they were pretty busy. Would return read more

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 - read more

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! read more

First time at Gilligan's and the food was great. I had the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich, my wife had the chicken strips and son hat a grilled chicken sandwich. All the food was great and beers were solid. Nice atmosphere and open seating. I will definitely go back read more

Tried it out now that it's more brewery than restaurant. Main problem: as a customer you have no idea where to go to order food. It's a mess. There on Friday everyone was asking each other where to go. Seemed there was only one actual menu copy. Food and beer still fine, setting excellent. read more

Pretty good. We had dinner here on Sunday evening. We were greeted promptly by a host and seated quickly. My husband ordered a beer and we ordered the Mussels appetizer. The appetizer was delicious! I usually prefer a white wine sauce with the mussels but the tomato sauce was tasty. A bit thick but it had a great flavor. My husband really, really liked the sauce. We both ordered the Fish and Chips. I substituted the Roasted Red Potatoes for the fries. I should've stuck with the fries because my potatoes were burnt and tasted of burnt oil - quite unpleasant. The fish is huge! It was fried well and the fish was soft and flaky. The breading was a bit thick but it had a good flavor. And we both liked the coleslaw served with it. There was so much food that we had to take it home. Did I say that the fish piece is huge?! The kitchen was really slow for not being busy. But I think there was a small party in the back room, so that left us sitting for a bit. I agree with others who stated that this place lacks ambiance. It was kind of dark and plain. No music and some tvs on but the sound down. Just kind of blah. We'll stop in again and check out more of menu. read more

Great, friendly service. Lovely beer selection (we LOVE WestSide Brewery!) and delightful cocktails too. And the food - yum! We live on the West Side and were looking to try this newest creation by the folks that brought us Ivory House and W Bar and Bistro, not to mention Westside Brewery. First off, this place is ENORMOUS. It's large and spread out with several dining areas. We were seated on the enclosed patio (has windows for warmer nights) and it was perfect for our mood - casual yet upscale. My ONE recommendation is that you stick with bar fare and particularly, hearty Irish food. The beef stew was really incredible (so good I might stop by to carry it out one day). We shared reuben sandwiches (the Lilliputian is no small sandwich - to be clear). The fries are seasoned just perfectly and solid (nice thick fries) and the potato boxty (potato pancake) was tasty but definitely heavy on the oil. I would NOT order the Irish Flag salad (photo included). While I didn't love it, the salmon that I added to it was very generous in size. I was expecting something half that size. I would NOT order the salad again. The vinaigrette was thick and kind of gooey and the mandarins were mushy. I am looking forward to going back! read more

Local brewery feel with very good beer and good food. Plenty of seating and a great outdoor area when there is nice weather.

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. read more

The place has changed name and so much more. I had never been, but my friend was talking it up. Well, here is what happened. We walked in. Sports TVs everywhere. We wanted to be seated so we could enjoy a meal and drinks. They have stopped all table service. We had to stand by the side of the bar and look at a menu while standing. It was very uncomfortable and awkward. We also had to order drinks. I had a beer. My buddy wanted a cocktail. Nope. Then he wanted water with lemon. Nope. No lemons. So we put in an order and sat down. We didn't even know where to get napkins and utensils. The whole place is self-serve. I will never go back.. read more

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 read more

Wow! We checked it out on opening night. Kudos to the Gillian's team. Food was delicious! Our server was knowledgeable and friendly. We enjoyed our lager and helles beers. We started with the mussels and loved the spice! My salmon was delicious, hearty portion. My husband chose the cabbage steak which looked beautiful before he devoured every bite! Our server, Matt, said the pot pie and fish and chips had been really popular. Maybe next visit! read more

I went back to this restaurant one week after the first review I wrote, and discovered a few significant (and positive) differences. They've changed their menu!!! In the past week, they switched to their spring menu. Gone is the beef soup, but added was the duck bacon-wrapped polenta, which was spectacular. The other large difference was the effusive hospitality of the employees there!!! Our waiter and waitress stopped by frequently, to make sure we had everything we needed. They were cheerful, pleasant, and conscientious throughout. And, in fact, it felt like every employee working there stopped by our table to chat, including the manager and the chef. In fact, I went back to the table after we left, to make sure I didn't leave anything behind, and received another effusive round of "Have a great evening" from all the employees there. Also, this time the food came out quickly. However, there was one unfortunate difference this time: we really noticed the noise. Are the acoustics just bad there? Is there a way to buffer each table from another? Other than that one sour note, the food remained amazing, but the service greatly improved from my previous visit. read more

Had a very pleasant dinner here tonite with a group of 11. I had 2 different soups, the potato leek soup and the Erin Go Bragh soup which was like a soupy stew. Both were excellent and came with a small potato pancake called a boxty. For an entree I had the glazed salmon with mashed potatoes and mixed veggies. It was wonderful but I had to take most of it home. Portion size was good. Our server Jessica was friendly, efficient and attentive. Noise level was acceptable. Parking was adequate with a lot in the back and a free public lot right across the street. We intend to return and try some different menu items. read more

This is barely classified as a restaurant, I came here two years ago and it was a wonderful time. Today however I came in and immediately noticed a theme change. Everything was self serve which is usually fine but it was taken to the umpteenth degree. I had to get everything from my drinks to my silverware. At the end of my meal I then had to bus my own table. No direction, next to no service. I won't be coming back. read more

We checked this new place out on opening night. Luckily we were able to get a table, sadly, they were already out of pretzels. We tried numerous beers and ciders, all tasty. We split the fish and chips and the reuben sandwich, huge portions and very good. Minus one star because the food runner somehow hit the back of my head with the plate and then put it down sideways (rectangular shaped plate) in front of me. Perhaps she is new to serving. Anyway, cool place and should do really well in Wyoming. read more

We both had the fish and chips and were not impressed. The size of the fish and fries was generous, however the breading on the fish was way too heavy and too much salt/seasoning. It did not compliment the haddock which is usually my favorite type of fish. The fries also had too much salt/seasoning. The menu said it would be served with coleslaw but the serving size was minuscule... like one spoonful. The beer selection was fine and our server was nice and friendly. read more

Hello Gilligan's on the Green, nice to finally meet you! Sunday Bruchin' is my favorite! I think it's a tough layout but I think they did a nice job with the space. Service was friendly and it was nice to see that they employ high school students. The cocktails were lip smacking with the Paloma being my favorite. The table raved about the lemon drop & the grapefruit mimosa. The kids tore down the soft pretzel in 5 minutes flat. Beer cheese was not bad but of course the kids thought it was strange . The pub chips (fries) were executed well with the right amount of toppings. The Reuben Rolls were unique and everyone enjoyed them (more cheese would have set them off). The double smash burger was tasty and was not "smashed" or thin (see picture). That was definitely different but I did not mind. The BLT + E was very delicious with the thick bacon everyone drools over. They were out of sourdough so I opted for a brioche bun instead. The chicken & waffle was like eating a dessert, I had a tiny taste and was impressed with the waffle. Overall, I think this place is here to stay. May need to give a bit of grace, the service is very very slow right now. With the exception of the biscuit/chicken stack, I would order every single item again. What are you waiting for? Drive/Walk on down to Gilligan's. read more

We went to a late lunch. Only one other couple was there. Service was slow. We ordered a bottle of wine. The "waitress " tucked the bottle of wine under her arm and plopped two wine glasses on the table. We ordered. I went to the bathroom. The floor was so sticky and filthy that my shoes stuck to the ground. When I got back to the table the food was there. I shouldn't have eaten anything after experiencing that bathroom, but I ate. My fish sandwich was at once tasteless and mushy. My husband had mussels. The "waitress " handed him a soup spoon for his mussels. How can a spoon help when a proper fish fork is what is required?
