Waste of money. Ordered $50 worth of food to go. Everything was soggy, and cold even though I picked it up 10mins before they said it would be ready. Just gross and overpriced. Long john silvers does better shrimp, fries and hushpuppies.

Pricey, and not enough portions. Sitting outside is recommended for the lovely river view. Food is okay. Claim Jumper has better clam Chowder.

WOWZA! What a special experience. The atmosphere was unique. Plenty of nods to Forrest Gump with the movie playing on repeat on one of the 17 TVs. We ordered rib eye with shrimp. One had the loaded shrimp, which was stuffed with crab and doused in a lobster garlic butter sauce. Let’s not forget about the fried pickles! We had a reservation, so we were seated immediately. Our sever, Brittney, was a star! Gave us space to review the menu, made suggestions, and our glasses were always full of the most amazing soda. Not sure what they did but the Coke and Dr Pepper, both, were the freshest, crispiest, beverages! There is a gift shop with fun Forrest Gump saying to make this adventure a full circle moment.

My daughters and I ate here tonight, and it was absolutely wonderful. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was fun and welcoming, and the experience felt special from start to finish.
Our waitress, Emma, was truly magnificent. She was attentive at all the right times, incredibly kind, and made us feel genuinely taken care of without ever being overbearing. She brought such a positive energy to our table that one of my daughters decided she wants to be her best friend.
This was one of those meals that turns into a great memory. We will absolutely be back the next time we’re in Laughlin.

I am soooo disappointed in Bubba Gumps tonight. Its my birthday dinner so my husband and I ordered a double shrimp boil to share and our son ordered a regular shrimp boil for himself. The original is 39.99 and the double cost 77.99. They served us the same amount of food in each pot and swore up and down one was a double. It literally had 2 potatoes and 3 sausage pieces more than the original. Happy birthday to me. Thanks for the upsell ripoff!
