Forrest Gump themed restaurant that was average for me. I ordered bourbon st mahi with grilled shrimp, it was passable even though I only got 4 skinny Vietnamese shrimp, couldn't ya have at least made them jumbo size for $25! Wife got the chicken and pasta and it was pretty tasty. Ironically I came upon a story on how Bubba Gump shrimp co. imports their shrimp from SE Asia. WHY couldn't they be real and buy local? The theme was cool but not a fan of the restaurant. Finally I had made reservations and upon seeing an empty table for 2 outside and ask for it, their reply was if you want that table you got get on the 25 minute wait list.?, so i guess you gotta take what they want you to have if you make reservations. No, I won't ever be back to Bubba Gump.
Okay I would like to preface this review by saying that I am an Asian woman, I LIVE FOR FLAVOR. SALT IS NOT THE SAME AS FLAVOR 😭🙏 DEAR LORD WAS THAT SHRIMP SCAMPI SALTYYY. Expect to be underwhelmed by the portion to value ratio. BUT the service is IMPECCABLE. SHOUT OUT TO MY LOVELY SERVER CALVIN HE WAS AN ANGELL. He was very attentive and had the most wonderful vibes. Calvin gave such fast, friendly, and curated service what a glorious human. Thank you Calvin we wouldn't have had anything nice to say if it wasn't for you!! Would come back for Calvin cause guys this man is amazing.

Chris was our server and he was amazing. Extremely attentive, checked on us often, recommend items. Some were hits and some were misses. The host that escorted us to our seats was so unprofessional and unpleasant. Asked if would could sit along the beach, I was met with a very off putting reply that “the seat was for another person” as though we weren’t important. Now there were two table available in the very same area behind the table I requested just needed to be cleaned. See walked away quickly to ask some one was it ok without tell us. The manager was pleasant and a very great manager try to use her self as a distraction, asking questions like have we been here before, where are we from, etc. However, the damage has already been done due to the host is the first point of contact.

My wife and kids went on a last minute Mother's adventure. We went to beach and I told my daughter look up something quick Bubba Gump. When I seen this my daughter picked out. I could already we will love this place. Chris was our server and boy did we love him. Jorge the other waiter or barttender was very cool down to earth. I mean we were the lsst ones to leave no one came to us and said we're closing. They were closing and we still was allowed to take our time. I told Chris that he is my permanent waiter and Bubba Gump is now ny favorite place to be at on the beach. My family dont go to the beach that much, but now we have a reason this season. Football coming up, Chris and Jorge, and Victor, I hope I mentioned the other guys name. All three gentlenan and the whole staff showed us a good time and we will be back this month. One more thing, I tasted some gumbo soup, I almost lost my mind. My wife, son, and daughter all had a taste of that gumbo. Cant wait until the end of the month and have our face in the place Bubba Gump lets get it.
Shout out to
