Gilligans Shrimp Truck

I don’t know why there is so many negative reviews for Gilligans. It’s delicious. I have had almost everything on the menu and with seafood being my favourite I know good seafood when I taste it. The garlic fries are exceptional and garlic shrimp and coconut shrimp as well. Food is made fresh for you, so by no means is it fast food. The shaved ice is great for a long hot day on the beach. Everytime I come to Hawaii I eat here a few times each trip. Only complaint, is the staff members aren’t the friendliest.

We decided to try the fisherman’s platter here after going parasailing. It was delicious and hit the spot! Everything is made to order so be prepared to wait around a few minutes for it to cook. I suggest ordering something to drink, bring some beach chairs, and enjoy the view of the beach or the Hilton lagoon.
Watch out for flying drones! On the day we visited anyway, there was someone flying a drone around on the beach. I guess that’s something we’ll have to get used to. Welcome to the future!

Cheap. Fast and tasty food. We got the garlic shrimp and you get a lot for 10 buck. 7 shrimps. Fries and salad. If your hanging around near the Hilton lagoon and want a quick bite then you should try to eat here.

Teriyaki bites with fries and coconut shrimp right next to the lagoon. Good price, convenient and good!

Wow, so many bad reviews! I’ve eaten here at least twice, convenient for any Hilton guests as it’s just on the other side of the lagoon and a lot less expensive than any meal at the resort. i ate here just last week while on vacation, and my husband and I each ordered the garlic shrimp and fries. Their menu looks great, but I can’t resist garlic shrimp while in hawaii! It can be a pretty lengthy wait at times, so this isn’t fast food. The shrimp is peeled and cleaned, so makes for easy lunch when your hands have a layer of sunscreen & saltwater. The fries are shoestring and crunchy, seasoned well and tossed with tons of garlic and butter. Great place!

I am not saying that the food is bad here, it’s just a let-​down when we could’ve gotten something less convenient, but which is a more memorable satisfying, meal. On a whim, because this was closeby, and it was getting late, we opted for something «new.» We shared a combo plate while the boy was sleeping, but it was a little small– the fries, the fish, the shrimp, all small portions. We had it on the beach, overlooking the pretty stretch of Waikiki Beach, and in the shade of a palm tree. And afterward, I thought, «Ok, we tried it, but let’s get back to a place that we love.» It’s just hard when we have our favorites in Waikiki and then, trying a new place turns into a just-​ok experience.

Family and I saw this food truck from the Hilton Hawaiian Village. For 14.95, we had the combo platter, a card deck sized piece of mahi-​mahi, 4 coconut shrimp, 4 garlic shrimp, a bit of coleslaw, on a bed of thin fries. It was all very good but the coconut shrimp was the winner… crunchy but not overly breaded and definite coconut flavor. Came with a sweet dipping sauce that was delish and a lemon. Also had the shaved ice with ice cream but have not had others to compare it to. Got a sample of icy pineapple juice from the place… That was great too.

This spot sucked. We (boyfriend and I) ordered the shrimp/​Ahi tuna combo and garlic fries. The ahi tasted dry and overcooked, garlic sauce tasted like pickled mayo… pretty gross and they only put about 4 pieces of shrimp. Customer service was horrible and the girl who took our order was too busy to even help me. She seemed pretty stressed. When I asked her about the kama’aina discount. She replied, «I’ll let you know in just a min». And she never got back to me.
This place prob specialize in shave ice but definitely no plate dishes.
Not recommended for lunch. Definitely will not be back here!

Awesome food and for the price they charge, I wouldn’t mind paying more. Sorry locals but fries is way better then white rice. Just saying! I had s chance to talk to the owner of the truck who was the so nice, and was very grateful that I advised him of his food being delicious. Keep up the good work, I was glad to run into this hidden gem.

I hate to go against the grain… just a bit surprised by the negative reviews. Had their teryaki + fish dish last week while in HI and simply loved it. The pieces of meat where perfectly coated with the yummy sauce and the fish was well cooked and topped with garlic butter. All this on a bed of shoestrings fries for less than $ 15… frankly better than most overpriced restaurants I have tried on Waikiki. And the two youg guys behind the counters could not have been more kind and helpful. They also recommended me a local eatery at a walking distance form the hotel (Hilton) and my family and I are so glad we followed their recommendation as we had an outsdanding evening thanks to them!

Truck looked close at 6:00pm on a friday night. When I walked up to ask if he was open the man behind the counter rudely stated that he could sell me a drink. No explaination for why he wasnt open for dinner or anything.
What a bummer was really looking forward to a reasonable dinner on the beach tonight for the Hilton fireworks.

This shrimp truck was just ok…
I saw it parked in the Ala Wai Harbor parking lot right next to the beach/​lagoon at Hilton Hawaiian Village and we got hungry so I bellied up…
The wahine that worked the window was about as smart as the wisest chunk of lava rock on Diamond Head but chee hoo was she hot, so I guess no gripes.
My shrimp tacos and fries took a long time and shit, but hey, I had just waxed a couple high octane fruity ass drinks from the Hilton bar and I was feelin no pain anyway…
The grinds I bought was not all that cheap but hey, it was a beautiful day in Paradise, so I won’t bitch.
I took my plates and wen back and promptly sat my okole down on the towel and we proceeded to wax that food in a few inhales. Then I sucked my teeth and watched da keiki jump back into the beautiful clear water… no worries…
I mean really, can I really complain about jack shit when I’m in Hawaii? Shoots, I coulda been eating a shoe and no one would care if I complained.
Did I mention the dumb wahine? Cheeee hooo!

Rude and bad service people who work here are arrogant and simply rude. Their food is not even that great in the first place so the bad experience is not even worth it i wish i could give zero stars

This was a good choice — had steak and fish tacos and they were good. Everything was cooked fresh and was quick and hot. The steak didn’t have tons a flavor but was good with the condiments. The fish taco was fresh and the slaw on it was good. We got 4 tacos for $ 24 — not bad at all. We will be back!

Service has always been friendly! Teriyaki beef bites were cooked perfect! The fish Tacos were awesome! Perfectly cooked! Portions were huge!!! The special was Siracha Shrimp! I will crave it when I get back home! Fries wee shoestring. I like a thicker French fry but garlic fries were great!
A must stop for a good lunch while staying at the Hilton!

Are looking for a day at the beach? Do you have a good parking space that you don’t want to give up? Are you not looking to take out a second mortgage to pay the price of hotel food along the beach? The quantity of food is comparable to any other food truck you would see out there. Dollar for dollar the amounts are just fine and it will fill you up so that you can go another eight hours in the afternoon sun

Rude service, but I think it is part of the experience. She likes being sassy.
Food was good, not great! Shrimp tastes frozen, but for a Qwik fairly prices meal at the beach, when u are hot and hungry… I would say its worth the 12.00 for the plate.
No complaints outta me! I like food and food trucks!

The white haole lady who served us, let’s assume she’s gillian. Gillian is really rude and her food is horrible. This shrimp truck is the perfect example about what’s wrong with hawaii. Just another fake shrimp truck with fake island food for tourist nothing authentic all deep fried with generic garlic sauce. (I’m also a tourist but I come here every year and I can spot a haole like me when I see one.)
The garlic shrimp was garbage I could have made better shrimp. By the looks and taste of it, just a generic garlic sauce you can buy at food land stir fried with shrimp. Nothing special nothing authentic just bland.
Don’t order the Mahi mahi. A freshmen from the UH can probably deep fry one frozen mahi mahi and add garlic sauce to it and it will still taste better than this garbage
I asked for a cup of tap water to wash my hands before eating and she rudely replied no. And pointed to a shower 30 feet away. Should have asked to buy a cup for 10 cents instead of tipping that haole 2 dollars.
Shady lady I spent 20 bucks on your frozen food the least I can have is a plastic cup
Sorry I don’t usually Unilocal but this place sucks and the lady was really rude
