    Abbiamo cenato qui ed essendo fan del film, è stato bellissimo! Sono stata sia nel ristorante di Londra che in quello di L.A. e l'atmosfera è sempre meravigliosa. Personale gentilissimo e disponibile. Il cibo, secondo me, è migliorabile. Io ho preso fish and chips e l'impanatura era un po' pesante. Potrebbero rinnovare il menù, inserendo anche pietanze nuove e sane. Tutto sommato, però, è una bella esperienza che consiglierei se amate il film.

    I have been to this restaurant recently & like I regret spending my money, my wife had taken me for birthday treat. First of all the prices was not so bad, it's pricy but not enough of quality & quantity of price. The b drinks were type good. The margarita ( too much mint) full mint taste, ruined the taste of it! I would put 0 stars if was possible My food wasn't hot enough nor was it tasty. My wife's was not all that either. She asked the waiter he said it's closing time no allowed to sing. When it was time to pay, the waiter came gave the check & was standing & waiting to give money. It seemed as if we were going to run away without paying.

    Went in September. I was along for the ride on this restaurant choice because I'm not a big seafood fan in general. I got the Mama's Fried Chicken breast and absolutely loved it! Good coleslaw and mashed potatoes. Great corn, liked the sauce they drizzled on it. Nice portion of chicken. Took one piece back to the hotel and ate it for breakfast. As a Southern girl, I was sad about sweet tea not being a drink option, but I made do with raspberry tea instead. So if you get taken along and don't care for seafood, I highly recommend Mama's Fried Chicken!

    A New Year’s Tradition Like No Other! We’ve been celebrating New Year’s Eve at Bubba Gump Times Square for the past six years—and every single time has been magical! This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime event that we’ve been lucky enough to experience again and again. The energy is unmatched: you're right in the heart of Times Square, inside a warm, festive space with incredible views of the Ball Drop through the windows. Watching the crowds and excitement outside while enjoying the party indoors is the perfect balance of comfort and thrill. Depending on NYPD and crowd control, we’ve even had the chance to step outside and experience the Ball Drop in person, it’s simply unforgettable. The moment the clock strikes midnight, the confetti rains down, and everyone sings "New York, New York" by Frank Sinatra...Goosebumps every time! The food and drinks never disappoint; Bubba Gump’s knows how to keep the celebration going with a great menu and flowing drinks. The staff is absolutely phenomenal: friendly, helpful, and truly committed to making the night special. If you’re looking for a safe, fun, and iconic way to ring in the New Year, this is it. We’ll be back again, because Bubba Gump’s NYE is our favorite way to start the year.

    Bubba Gump was an absolute thrill to dine at and the service was of the highest caliber. The waiters were all as amiable as can be. Its picturesque, sleek and retrochic looks transform a movie staple into a symbol of American pride and fine dining. Jayden was an absolute delight and he is a doll who catered to every need we had. All in all, Bubba Gump Shrimp Company is a simply stunning dining experience and Jayden was at the forefront of it. The atmosphere and looks were cunning and sharp second to an excalibur. This experience was an exuberant excursion. Don’t even get me started on this delectable, exquisite, marvelous, and simply enthralling experience. The fish and chips were savory and top notch. When one of our members needed more chicken, he brought more out in SECONDS. MERE SECONDS, NANOSECONDS. Jayden brought us ice cream sandwiches which were of course, delectable. This is a mere testament of Jayden’s profound culinary excellence. May god bless his soul! Jayden, in a way that not other man would manage to do, combines the simple yet profound ideals of the American man with the goals and acumen of a contemporary visionary. His bravado in hospitality is a testament to his world-class skills and personality, which are shown in his masterful culinary masterpieces. Masterful yet gentle, he handled our food with love and care, and treated us as though we were kings. The experience was reminiscent of the classic meals served in one’s humble household, but also of dining in a world-renowned restaurant. This restaurant reminds us all of the humble beginnings of mankind and simply allows us to ponder the future. Jayden was truly inspirational and a phenomena of the modern era. Jayden was a truly inspirational figure in our dining experience and motivated us all to build a better America for hard-workers like Jayden who built the very country we stand in. This unsung hero should be praised and rewarded for all of his hard work which we can personally attest to. To summarize all of our adoration for this man and this restaurant, I beseech you to try it.
