- RFRicardo Flores5 days ago5.0If I didn't post a picture about the food is because I didn't have time to do so... It was THAT delicious. I had the clam chowder, calamari and caesar salad... It was DELICIOUS!!!. The clam chowder reminded me of the she crab soup they have at the east coast... It was a delicious as it is. Salad was amazing and the view to the ocean... Absolutely a 5/5 star. Then we went to the gift show and got some goodies. The lady was so nice and helped me to get the right size shirts for me. The also helped me with my Vereran discount. Thank you for making it so great, guys!

Very friendly, professional and knowledgeable of the restaurant’s Policies and procedures. She presented us the opportunity to join Landry’s select club membership and I’m gladl to say we are now members. Gabbi keep up the good work.
- LBLuna BennettNov 11, 20255.0Had a great time, was super comfortable and inviting. Went on a week night around 5pm and things were quiet and not busy at all. Our server Michael was amazing and service was quick even though we sat on the second floor and were one of the only ones up there. I will definitely be recommending to friends and family!

- LLLali LedesmaNov 3, 20255.0This place has become our favorite spot to celebrate birthdays—we don’t mind driving all the way from Sugar Land because it’s absolutely worth it! My first visit was two years ago for my birthday, and Elena, the manager, made that experience unforgettable. We returned last year for my husband’s birthday, and this past Saturday we celebrated yet another birthday there. Elena was there again—she remembered me and my family and made the experience even better than before. Her attention to detail and warm, thoughtful service truly made us feel like part of the Bubba Gump family. Samuel, our server, was also amazing! He was super kind and ensured everything was served quickly since we had an appointment after lunch. Sam, you deserve 11 points—thank you! And THANK YOU, ELENA! You are by far the most incredible manager I’ve ever met in a restaurant and such a special person. We will always come back to our beloved Bubba Gump at Galveston Pier!
