11/21/ 2025 at 1515. While at the restaurant we were waiting for someone to serve us. So when no one knew who area we were in we left. As we were leaving. The manager made a rude comment to multiple waiting staff stating " that it was for the best they are leaving anyway. "

Kis csoportban vacsoráztam ebben a Pier 39 kikötői étteremben San Franciscoban.
Tradicionális, nagyon emlékezetes és különleges környezetben igen gyors és figyelmes kiszolgálást tapasztaltam a maximálisan telített étteremben.
Én friss, vegyes zöldsalátát és rántott garnélát rendeltem sült burgonyával. Mellé járt az árban foglalt elmaradkatatlan kóla🤣 (ezért ugyan nem rajongok, de a hangulat miatt jol esett👍). Plusz megtoldottam egy helyi koktél🍸 specialitással👍!
A vacsora csokolades desszerttel zárult. Maradandó, utolso esti élmény San Franciscoban🥰!

My wife had told me about this restaurant for years. We finally had to go to San Francisco for some medical stuff, and decided to go to Bubba Gump's to check it out.
I ordered the shrimper's plate, looking forward to the coconut shrimp. It was very disappointing. The coconut was weak in taste and presentation. Red Lobster makes a WAY better coconut shrimp. I probably won't go there (to BG) again, though it wasn't bad, it was just ok. The service was good and the manager was attentive, more so then our server.
I enjoyed the gift shop and got a Bubba Gump hat. The prices were reasonable, and we enjoyed the clam chowder, though we've had better.

It’s a very lively place, family friendly. The food was pretty expensive BUT, the food is cooked to perfection. I tried the bangbang shrimp, calamari, stuffed shrimp and jambalaya. Besides the jambalaya needing a little more salt and pepper, everything was absolutely delicious. This was my first time there and I’d definitely come again and definitely recommend to others.

Really great place to have a group birthday dinner. Birthday celebrant get a song and ice cream sandwiches. The chowder was really good. The jambalaya was okay, it just lacked some more flavour. Service was great and the price for a meal for 13 people was pretty good. Calamari was also really good.
