Angie needs a raise, she practically runs the place and has such a good attitude. A few of the cooks walked out and Angie got to business. She’s a rare business minded type. GIVE THAT GIRL A RAISE

Always a nice place for lunch or dinner. Located inside Bayside in downtown Miami. The menu is heavy on shrimps 🍤. Delicious shrimp cocktail with 8 large shrimp for 14,99. Very friendly service and great atmosphere.

Cuisine excellente, à la hauteur de sa réputation.
Un peu trop de ventilation sur la terrasse, c'est dommage.
Attention, si vous allez au parking couvert de Bayside juste à côté, nous avons payé 50 $ pour moins de 2 h de stationnement.

🎬 🍤🏃🦐🌊 “Life is like a box of chocolates… you never know what you’re gonna get,” and that fits perfectly because every Bubbly Gump Shrimp Co. location really does have its own vibe. This one is packed with throwback film memorabilia and feels like one of the flagship spots of this fictional-but-all-the-more-fun enterprise. The vibes were great, the service was friendly, and they definitely captured the Forrest-verse charm. Just wish they still did the movie trivia — that was always such a fun part of the experience.

AWEFUL! OVERRATED! DISAPPOINTING!
Horrible Food & Service.
Our very First and Last visit at this establishment.
My so-called "server" Michelle which never served us at all is the top 10 worst servers we've ever encountered. She took our order & never came back to the table not even once. We had to ask other servers & the manager Dee to assist us with everything. We assumed maybe it was because we asked to change tables due to the cigarette smoke blowing in from customers near by the large open window/bar area. A guest that I was dining with has a medical condition and the smoke affected all of us. When I explained that to her, she was rude about it & stated that we're going to smell the smoke anywhere inside the restaurant and that it wouldn't matter if we changed tables. She was just aweful and couldn't careless, she looked dead inside.
The food wasn't very appetizing, we had Shrimp Entrées because well the name of the restaurant is called Bubba Shrimp Co.and expected fresh, flavorful meals. The mashed potatoes were cold & would pair better with steak or ribs due to taste & texture, shrimp tasted as though it was re-fried in old oil, $4 up -charge for their loaded mash which is two tiny pieces of bacon & a sprinkle of shredded cheese over a scoop of potatoes. It's almost 4am & I still have an upset stomach with a puke bucket nearby. 🪣 🤢
If is wasn't for the scarce eateries in the Arena area late nights, they probably wouldn't be as successful. I'm very disappointed. We acknowledge Dee the manager for trying her best to work with these lazy, disgruntled employees.
Eat, Love then Eat Some More.
