I searched locally to find the best price for an island and Ivan beat it. I got a little worried when I couldn't get ahold of him after making my deposit but it turned out this was because he was very sick. Sophia in the office did a great job to communicate with me and they were able to make changes to the island and completely change my design just a week before delivery! The only negative was delivery date. Because Ivan was sick, they were swamped and couldn't make my Saturday delivery date but Ivan made it worth my while, very professional. He also added a few extras for me which was really impressive. His delivery guys broke down on the way, but still made it to my house as promised. Only took about an hour to install. Thank you Ivan for being so professional and for such a great product. I have already and will continue to refer more business your way. read more

I am absolutely thrilled with my new island. I am so amazed at the quality and workmanship. I had no idea what I needed and Erika helped guide me through to exactly what I wanted. Not only was the island beautiful, the communication with the office was perfect. I was kept up to speed with the progress with pictures and updates everyday from the moment my island came up in the build queue. I have to say one of the best parts was the crew that delivered. I had not mentioned I had a DG yard so getting the island into position was like building the pyramids..lots of hard work. The guys that came had such a wonderful attitude and worked so incredibly hard I was amazed. I will definitely be ordering from them again. read more

We love our new islands (3) from Ivan. They look amazing....better than we even imagined. We thought we knew what we wanted..,,.and they made our dream come true. Sophie is so professional and easy to work with. We will genuinely miss interacting with her. We are not the easiest customers, we changed our mind multiple times. Each time they worked with us with a smile and we couldn't be happier with what we received!! Great value, great service and a great experience overall Thanks Ivan and Sophie! read more

This is a great place to go if you want to get charged for a half made island, which doesn't get delivered on time! It is also a great business to call if you enjoy listening to excuses and voicemail! It's only been 3 weeks trying to get a status update and the next call will be to my credit card company about fraud. Choose wisely!!! read more

I searched and searched and I am very thankful I decided on Gilligans! Ivan was genuine and easy as he listened to my needs, budget, and wants.

Erica holds down the fortress and makes you feel like part of the family. I could not be more happier and everyone that sees my BBQ has been impressed! Great purchase and I look forward to sending all my other family and friends for their BBQ needs! read more

Just wanted to say that the wife and I just bought our new BBQ Island with a Palapa and are very happy with it. Ivan took care of us from day one. He showed us what he had available and we picked the one we liked. We put a deposit on it and asked him if he can hold it for us. Our pool had not been completed yet and the cement needed to be poured still in our back yard. He gladly said that he can hold it for us with no problem till we are ready. After a few weeks, our pool was done and the cement was poured. Now we were ready for our BBQ Island to be delivered. I called Ivan to let him know that we are now ready for him to deliver it. He set it up and the following sat., his team came over and delivered the BBQ Island and built the palapa right on sight. His team then went over how to use the BBQ and the Fire pit. They tested everything to make sure it all worked and cleaned up any mess that they made. I would recommend Gilligans Island BBQ to anyone looking to get a great deal and great service. Thank you Ivan for all your help and patients with us. read more

My experience with Gilligans BBQ was not good. Our island came too large to fit in my backyard and so they had to damage my home, the island and landscaping to get it fit. I was promised prompt repairs and he never came back once he was paid. He didn't build to code and would not connect the gas supply. I have an extension cord under my island to connect power and this MUST be shielded continuous wiring to meet code. He also didn't provide the gas on/off key and just mailed to me a week later but in his brilliance he put in a normal envelope. The envelope arrived but the key didn't. I paid 2k plus for this island and I expected more. At least out of Human decency and him to do the right thing. I have given him a chance to fix the mistakes but no word. Buyer beware!!!! Karma will get his business. read more

Gilligan's BBQ Islands - His guys scratched my fascia board because the island was too big. They obviously knew they did this and didn't come clean. - Fireplace Services Near Me - Riverside, California

Their company cashed our down payment of about $2000 in April but did not receive our bbq until August. Called for a status update many times throughout the course of the wait, and we were assured many times our project was "next." While their finished product was nicely done it was not worth the hassle of the wait. Their 10 week estimate ended up being closer to 16 weeks. And after your finished product is completed you have to factor that you will have to find other contractors to run water, gas, and electricity. Frustrating. read more

The island is great, good quality, custom made for a round corner in the backyard. The installers did a good job, a couple of hiccups but every job has issues here and there and as long as it gets corrected then it's not a problem. Ivan the owner was a bit hard to get a hold of once we started having issues after the island was installed, but a lady , sorry I forgot her name, took over at the office and got our problems solved. I still rate them a 5 star because I got what I wanted for the space we had available. Good quality, overall delivered on the product as promised at the time promised. Thank you and I will refer more people your way. read more

Gilligan's BBQ Islands - We love the island and get compliments from everyone. - Fireplace Services Near Me - Riverside, California

I wanted to write this review years ago .I had the island made 3 years ago. Yes Ivan is a great friendly sales person ,he promises u that he will cover and guarrentee many things but as soon he get your money he switch completely even though I accepted what he asked price wise. from day one The 15feet umbrella structure was dangerously shaking, he send a guy and confirmed that it need to add more supporting poles but never done it , I ended up hiring someone to do that. He promised to hook all the gas lines but never did, again I had to do it on my expense . The Thatch was poorly strapped to the frame and because of that it started sagging down couple months after!! we rarely use the island yet the tiles are coming out every now and then. Don't buy the LION's product they offer, they are bad quality. The island look good from outside but structurally are not. read more

Seriously we went to many places before stumbling upon Gilligans island. Erica is amazing. She listened to everything we wanted and made it happen. Responses were prompt my island done quickly. We are so happy with our island, and the service we received. Thank you everyone read more

I'm happy with the BBQ island but after they delivered the island it was impossible to get them to fix the light that went out. Almost 3 months of calling and emailing them, we finally got someone to come out. All he did was to leave a note saying he didn't fix it but left an extra light and to call the office. I had family coming out to see our new home and was promised that the light would be fixed. Come to find out, what they did was to splice several lights together, put electrical tape on it, and plug it in. The tape came loose and therefore the lights went out. I had to pay an electrician to fix the shotty job that was done with the electrical. I just wish they would stand behind their product and not just ignore you. Customer service after delivering a product is extremely important, there wasn't none here. read more

Purchased a BBQ island and palapa from Marco. He has me set for bbq island delivery and palapa set up within the next two weeks. Marco offered good service so I'm hoping everything continues as planned. I was hesitant about making the purchase because some of the poor reviews but so far everything has been good. I'll update my review after delivery and palapa set up to let everyone know how it went. read more

Very awesome people working there, down to earth kept me up to date on everything that was gonna happen. They installed in my back yard couldn't be happier with it. read more

Friendly owner, great salesman, very personable. Get your BBQ islands here just in time for the summer festivities.

We just moved to the area and have been wanting to upgrade our backyard. We met and spoke with the owner Ivan and we set up a appointment for a in-home consultation. We had arranged our busy schedules to be home when he gets there. Our appointment was between 4pm-6pm. Well by 6pm he was a no show. I called both numbers on his card numerous times, left 2 voicemails and nobody ever called us back! Very unprofessional!!! We were willing to spend whatever it took to build the yard of our dreams. Dont waste your time on this business. We went with Extreme BackYard Designs who treated us like we mattered and they were on time to our in home consultation. read more

I traveled far to go and purchase an island for my back yard. Ivan was nice and the price seemed right . Wrong . Ivan had no communication what's so ever. He told my husband a certain day and never cared to call us until we called to ask him what happened to my island . He said a day and never came. My husband works all the time so he was really upset. To Make things worse they have an accident and break my island ..... Then scratch my cement . He also got sloppy and didn't think I would notice his work. I'm not happy about giving him the money . I want to throw the island back at him honestly but it's already here. Will NOT be recommending this place to anyone. Go somewhere professional. I want to re write a bit, Ivan called me and apologized for my inconvenience . He's going to fix my island so I'm happy. It has a great design so I wouldn't think about haunt him take it back read more

Vey Bad customer service will not call you back , waste of your time and money go elsewere.

Gave us a great price on a custom island. Very friendly and helpful. Only issue is their price doesn't include any hook ups. So will be an additional couple hundred dollars. Later on had issues with the chairs breaking, light in the grill no longer works, and bottom tiles feel off read more

I purchased a propane firepit table from Ivan. I had the worse experience ever. I would not recommend this business to anyone. If you do purchase from this company make sure they test their product or you might have people severely burnt from it exploding. Ivan has reported yelp viewers for leaving an honest review and their post is deleted so he keeps his 4 stars. In reality he's not honest and don't waste your money on his product. I'm still waiting for a complete refund and my patio sofa replaced. read more

Great company to deal with!!! We bought a custom made fire pit table and it's beautiful! We shopped around quite a bit and picked Gilligans, and we are very, very happy we did! We picked our shape, colors, tile and the end result is beautiful! I needed it sooner than their normal time frame and asked for it to be done sooner as we were having a party. They promised to get it done as soon as possible and they made our date on time! They're communication was great and the quality of work is exceptional. I would highly recommend this company. I wish I could give them more than 5 stars. P.S. I went Gilligan's competitor in Corona and they asked me where else I was shopping. I told them Gilligans, and they went on to bad mouth Gilligans terribly. I asked the people at Gilligans what they thought of this company and they said, 'They're a good company.' Gilligan's was far more professional than their competitor. I made the right choice. read more

The guys came , conquered exactly what we were looking for . And trust me what they built wasn't easy at all. I had a 3 more companies come out to the house . 1 of 3 said they can design the way we wanted too , but couldn't guarantee that they can complete the work in the space that we needed it done . But Ivan came with his crew and reassured us that he was up for the challenge . I trusted him because he was confident . Since it's been hot , we have been enjoying the grill , fridge bar , design all of . Ivan I m referring you my cousin and brother. Expect a call from them in the next couple of weeks . Thanks again guys. read more

Ivan does really good work. I love my island, fire table, and the custom manifold for my large fire pit. He is good for his word, and provides quality products. Once again, thanks for the beautiful island. read more

I can not tell you how happy I am with this company! I did a lot of research before I went with them, from building it myself to having a contractor build it in place, to buying a prefab at a big box store.... so glad we went with Gilligan's. The price was amazing, the service was great, and the finished product exceeds my expectations. Ivan came out to measure and draw up what we were looking for, Erica was always there to take my calls and help me through the process. She even caught a minor mistake before delivery and had it fixed. The crew that installed the BBQ and Bar were very professional and fast. I was cooking on my new grill the next day. If you are looking for a custom BBQ or Bar you can stop looking and hire Ivan and his crew. I will be referring them to all my friend and family. read more

We had been searching for a Bbq island for a while. Our search was over when we came across Gilligan's Islands. The best prizes by far. Their work is beautiful. They even customized it so that my husband can drive right up to it in his wheel chair. By far the best customer service! Very happy with Gilligan's Islands to say the least! We would totally recommend them to our friends and family! read more

This is a very good company that tries to please and did a great job of building my BBQ Island at a very reasonable price. The employees are upbeat and that attitude is obviously guided by the company's enthusiastic owner Ivan. The installers did a professional job and were very courteous. About the only slight disappointment that we had was it took about a week longer than we thought it would. But that's is understandable as it was during the holidays. Overall we are very pleased. read more

My experience Gilligan's BBQ islands was phenomenal! My bbq Island, fire pit & fireplace was delivered on time, great quality . Another thing that I like about Gilligan's BBQ Islands is that they can custom made what you want its real factory direct!!

I highly recommend Gilligan's BBQ island for your outdoor needs... Thanks Ivan and friendly personal.......... :) read more

I ordered a custom fire table from Ivan at Gilligan's and when they showed up with it, it was even better than the pictures that Ivan sent me. I was unable to get it through my gate, even though we 8 guys, as it was built very well and heavy! I called Ivan, and he said no problem, and said they would bring it back to CA, and we would figure something else out. He said he would refund my deposit, and no hard feelings. You NEVER see customer service like that anymore, never less from a company 400 miles away in another state! If you want a GREAT product at a SUPER price, call Ivan at Gilligan's and he will take care of you. read more
