The team at the Long Beach Bubba Gump offered a terrific dinner dining experience for our 280 member party! They offered quick and friendly service, delicious food, a fun environment both inside the restaurant and on the outside patio! Two standouts for their smiles and accommodating efforts are Presilla and Ashlee! Thank you Team Bubba Gump for a terrific experience!

We were a party of 8 with 2 younger kids placed our order, other tables came in after us were served and gone long before we got our food.....drinks were forgotten and when the food finally came after 45 mins was cold, the cheese sauce was so cold had started to solidify already...very disappointing.....must say that the bartender who was also waiting tables was amazing though!

We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Bubba Gump! We were a party of five and ordered multiple shrimp plates, and everything was delicious and perfectly prepared. The service was excellent from start to finish, and the manager, Kyle, even came out to personally greet us, which made the experience feel extra special. The prices were very reasonable, parking was easy, and overall everything was just outstanding. We truly enjoyed ourselves and will definitely be back!
If you want it shorter, more casual, or even more enthusiastic, I can tweak it to match your style exactly.

Never again. Slow service. Was brought chowder when I had ordered gumbo. Given ice cold broccoli after waiting all that time for our food. It makes no sense to have customers waiting for food for the food not to be hot. Server said he was going to get me new broccoli. No they didn’t they brought out the same broccoli and threw what I had partially eaten into a steamer. A steamer that if isn’t cleaned properly is harboring germs and bacteria. I’m not sure who the female server thought she was talking to but she had the right one today. Don’t ask a customer what was wrong with the food to talk to them like they’re stupid and cut them off from explaining the issue. She tried over talking me and being condescending. Food was mid and the customer service will be why we don’t return.
