We’ve been here in the past and it’s always been good but as of recent the service was awful and food was mediocre, they gave us the wrong sea food boil to start with and forgot my order, after an hour we finally got the correct food however my chicken was practically black on the bottom and I had about half a tomato on my sandwich. I don’t understand why they have the go Forrest go and stop Forrest stop signs when the waitstaff doesn’t pay attention to them.

Billy was our server and I was blown away with his kindness, knowledge, and generosity! He got us seated as soon as they opened. He also informed us about places we wanted to shop. Billy made my first Bubba Gump shrimp experience one ill never forget. Ask for Billy if you go to the Bubba Gump in the mall of America!!

There has never been a time that I didn't love to eat at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. We dont have one in Oklahoma City that I know of so when we travel, we usually eat there if there's one there. On this trip, we ate at the one in Minneapolis at the Mall of America. We began to order and they didn't have the lobster and shrimp rolls my husband wanted. He was greatly disappointed. I wondered how could they run out of such a popular item when the Mall of America is obviously a well attended place. He ordered something else. My grandson ordered the crab boil. When it arrived it was missing the corn and and andouille sausage. The manager came over and said they were out of corn but that they had someone new cooking and would bring me the sausage. After all was said and done, my stomach was in trouble before we paid the bill. I had to leave the table and head to the bathroom. My hubby and kid were waiting outside for me. I had to go back in to the bathroom. I was so sick. We walked through the mall to leave and I almost threw up in the mall. I found another bathroom, took some meds and waited a long while and got settled. By the time we left the mall I was stable enough to leave. The only thing I ate that they didn't eat was the sausage. I shared their plates. I probably won't ever eat and Bubba Gumps anymore. I hate that because when we got married we ate there in San Francisco on our honeymoon. Its kinda sentimental for us. The wait staff was cool. The atmosphere is the same as everywhere. Lots of movie memorabilia. However this trip was memorable for me and not in a good way.
