  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 – Outstanding Experience in Destin! We visited Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. at 14059 Emerald Coast Pkwy in Destin, FL during our Florida trip, and this was easily one of the best dining experiences we’ve had on the Emerald Coast. From the moment we were seated, service was exceptional. Our server, Adam, was professional, kind, attentive, and very courteous. He kept drinks filled, paced the meal perfectly, and made us feel genuinely welcomed. The manager on duty, Tabitha, was also wonderful — visible, engaged, and clearly invested in making sure guests had a great experience. Service: 5/5 Now for the food: My dad ordered the Cajun shrimp, and it was seasoned perfectly with bold Cajun flavor and just the right amount of heat. The shrimp were grilled evenly, juicy, and not overcooked at all. Dad’s rating: 10/10 My mom had the garlic butter grilled shrimp with steamed rice, and it was outstanding. The garlic butter sauce was rich but not greasy, and the steamed rice paired perfectly by soaking up all that flavor. The shrimp were tender and cooked just right. Mom’s rating: 10/10 I ordered the All-American Cheeseburger (medium well) with french fries and mac & cheese. The burger was cooked exactly how I requested — true medium well, juicy but fully done, well-seasoned, and served hot. The fries were crispy, and the mac & cheese was creamy and comforting. For a seafood-focused restaurant, this burger absolutely impressed me. My rating: 10/10 My dad and I also tried one of their handcrafted beers inspired by the movie — named after Jenny, the girl Forrest was crazy about. It paired perfectly with the meal and added to the fun, themed atmosphere. The restaurant also has a souvenir shop inside, which makes the experience even more enjoyable. It’s a great place to grab something fun to remember your trip. They participate in the Landry’s Select Club membership, which offers rewards, discounts, and benefits at Bubba Gump and other participating restaurants like Joe’s Crab Shack. The welcome reward basically offsets the initial cost, making it worthwhile if you dine out often. Overall, the food was full of flavor, the service was top-tier, and the atmosphere fit perfectly with our Florida vacation vibe. Overall experience: 10/10 We will absolutely be back the next time we’re in Destin!

  Manager Bud and our server Chris were super kind and explained things well. They were very professional and we joined the awards program because of Bud & a SUPERMODEL server named Jasmine told us how to do things properly. We ate there twice today and this evening Chris was our server all 3 are so fantastic especially Jasmine please keep these 3 special employees for a long time. I (David Myrick) joined your Landry's Select Club because of Jasmine and Bud earlier this afternoon please reward all 3 handsomely. Thank You. David Myrick.

  This place had delicious food and great customer service. The only thing I didn’t love was the coconut shrimp but I’m not typically a person that likes coconut. If you love coconut shrimp, I would say give theirs a try! The host and server were extremely pleasant and quick. There was no wait and plenty of parking. I love the newspaper as the plate lining; I thought that was very creative and unique!
