This place was great!!! Came in with a huge group (42) and the service was on point from the moment we walked in. Andrea, Dina, and Melvin did a fantastic job keeping everyone happy while also being friendly and interacting with each person like they were their only customer. The food came out quickly, and not just for a large group, it came out quickly for a regular family size party. To top it off the food tastes great and was all cooked well. Great experience, great food, great service, thank you for making our group feel special!!!!

Question came out Luke warm but the fried food was hot on the sampler platter.
The salmon was weird (from seattle so we know our salmon and this didn't seem cooked all the way or seasoned).
Broccoli was good. Ribs were your generic small baby back ribs.
Service was VERY slow. They seemed to be doing little tasks and spending time cleaning rather than servicing in a speedy time.
The ambiance was very forest Gump and thats the whole reason to go.
Cocktails were good!

Service and atmosphere were awesome, the food however was not the quality I had expected. For the price I had hoped for it to be a little better than pre prepared ( from a freezer) shrimp. The server and the general experience was enough to make up for it, but for upwards of $100 dollars for 2 people, I had hoped for quality a bit above fastfood quality.

First time at bubba gumps and it was a great experience! Super cute vibes, love the Forrest Gump theme! Lots of cool memorabilia to look at, and everyone working was super nice and attentive. Josh was our server and was amazing! Super cool, and great at his job! I did notice an attempt to cover tattoos, and upon further conversation it is a part of their uniform. I wish they could express themselves, it gives more ways to connect to the table! Other than that, the place and service was awesome!

Have always wanted to try this restaurant and finally had a chance this past weekend when we came to Galveston on a family vacation and I was left EXTREMELY disappointed. The food was pricy and not worth the price or the hype at all, very bland and three of us who ate fish got extremely sick after which ruined that days activities for us. Our waiter was at least great and we had a nice view of the beach but do not waste your money here. We waited over 40 minutes for our food and In total we paid over $500 for 6 adults and 3 kids to eat and no one out of all 9 of us liked the food.
