  Bubba Gump is always a fun place to eat when we're in Las Vegas! The atmosphere is lively, the staff is friendly and attentive, and the Forrest Gump theme makes the experience unique and entertaining. The food was delicious, especially the shrimp dishes—they were fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. Everything came out hot, and the service was fast even though the restaurant was busy. If you're looking for a casual, fun restaurant with great seafood and excellent service, Bubba Gump is definitely worth a visit. We'll be back the next time we're in Las Vegas!

  My wife and I stumbled across Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. by accident, and we are sure glad we did! Neither of us had ever eaten here before, but from the moment we walked in, we knew this was going to be a fun experience. The restaurant has a great atmosphere, plenty of Forrest Gump movie nostalgia, and a relaxed, entertaining vibe that makes it more than just a meal. The funny part is that, even though this was my first visit, I was already representing the brand. You can see in my picture that I’m wearing a “Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.” shirt, well, sort of. It was actually a knockoff shirt I wore as a satirical jab at my sister Mo. Little did I know that I would end up becoming a fan of the real thing! The food was excellent. Of course, shrimp is the star of the show, and some of the favorites include the Shrimper’s Net Catch (peel-and-eat shrimp steamed with garlic or Cajun seasoning), Shrimper’s Heaven with several styles of shrimp, Bubba’s Far Out Dip, Shrimp Shack Mac & Cheese, and the famous Lt. Dan’s Surf & Turf featuring ribs and grilled shrimp. The drink menu is just as fun, with favorites like their hand-shaken margaritas, tropical cocktails, and signature drinks such as the Georgia Peach Iced Tea and Tennessee Iced Tea. It is definitely the kind of place where you can enjoy a good meal while having a little fun with the theme. Hours vary by location, but most Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. restaurants are generally open for lunch and dinner, often around 11:00 AM until 9:00 or 10:00 PM, with some locations staying open later on weekends. It is always a good idea to check the specific location before visiting. Overall, Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. was a pleasant surprise. Great seafood, a fun atmosphere, friendly service, and a little bit of movie nostalgia make this a place worth checking out — even if you show up wearing a questionable knockoff shirt like I did!

  Sean and Linda from the Bubba Gump Las Vegas retail shop were extra helpful. They went above and beyond to help me find the items I wanted, they made recommendations, helped me add my Landry’s account to my purchase and were exemplary employees. I explained to them how no matter which bubba gump we go to, the customer service is always excellent. I highly recommend checking out bubba gump to dine or shop. I love the chicken tenders but the shrimp is always great too!

  Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. – Run, Forrest... You've Found One of the Strip's Best Seafood Stops With so many celebrity chef restaurants and themed dining experiences competing for your attention on the Las Vegas Strip, it would be easy to assume Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. survives purely because of the Forrest Gump name. It doesn't. Perfectly positioned opposite Planet Hollywood and right by the entrance to the Miracle Mile Shops, it's in one of the busiest parts of the Strip. Yet despite having plenty of competition—including restaurants carrying some very famous names—it more than deserves its place. The five of us ate here and had a genuinely excellent meal from start to finish. The service was exactly what you hope for in a busy Vegas restaurant: friendly, attentive and well organised without ever feeling rushed. Drinks arrived quickly, the staff checked in regularly without hovering, and everything flowed effortlessly despite how busy the restaurant was. One tradition I can never resist here is the Coronarita—a frozen margarita topped with an upside-down bottle of Corona. It's become one of my favourite USA holiday drinks and somehow tastes even better after a long day walking the Strip. Of course, the real reason you come here is the seafood. Whether it's shrimp, fish or one of the many seafood combinations on the menu, everything we've had has always been fresh, well cooked and full of flavour. It's comfort food done properly, with generous portions and enough variety that everyone in our group found something they loved. The Forrest Gump theme runs throughout the restaurant, but it's done with plenty of charm rather than feeling over the top. Fans of the film will enjoy spotting the references and memorabilia, while those who simply want a good meal won't feel like they're dining inside a souvenir shop. And then there are the famous table signs... When you're ready to order it's "Run Forrest, Run!" When you're happy relaxing with another drink it's "Stop Forrest, Stop!" That's exactly how I'd sum this place up. Run here when you're hungry. Then stop, order a cocktail, enjoy some excellent seafood and take a well-earned break from the non-stop pace of the Las Vegas Strip outside. In a city full of restaurants trying to outdo one another with spectacle, Bubba Gump quietly succeeds by doing something much simpler. Great food, great service, a fun atmosphere and enough personality to make you want to come back. Sometimes that's all you need.

  Kahiau provided the best service physically possible. We went there on 4th of July right before closing. She noticed my 1 year old was exhausted and fussy and she got him a plate of assorted baby friendly foods. She also helped my son when he spilled his drink and assured me I didn’t have to clean my his mess off the floor because I usually pickup all the food my baby drops at any restaurant I’m at. She saw I was beyond overwhelmed with my 3 kids and was more like a friend than our waitress. Kahi explained the drink menu to my sons thoroughly and let them change their minds 4 times without being frustrated like the average waitress we have. It was like eating at a family members house. The food was excellent. And I wasn’t made to feel like my children weren’t welcome in the restaurant. If you go there, ask for her. She can handle 10 tables at once gracefully while still tending to all her customers. By far the best service I’ve ever received in any restaurant. Better than a high end steak house experience all because of Kahiau. The restaurant was clean and everyone was friendly. But we had the absolute pleasure of Kahiau taking care of us.
