The food was okay overall but 30+ minutes of waiting was unacceptable. We intended to leave and they brought the food out. Not sure why they brought all 4 dishes out at the same time for that wait time. I expect more than this for a pier restaurant.

Everything is wonderful at Bubba Gump’s from the minute we come in to the signing of the ticket. Our waitress Beck is attentive, professional, and sweet. The GM Tim obviously runs a great place.

I definitely do not recommend this place. I left my waitress a cash tip, but later noticed that a $10 tip was added to my card as well. What’s even more concerning is that the receipt appears to have been reprinted and signed afterward.
I’m disappointed because I had already left a cash tip, so I did not authorize an additional tip on my card. Definitely check your receipts and card transactions before leaving. I won’t be returning.

Absolute thieves. After eating lunch. My family was spending a lot at the store and while we waited my kids were playing with the bath toy in shape of a boat (a 20cent rubber toy). My one year old put it in his mouth. But the attendant instead of calling it out. Waited while she watch and then told us we had to pay $10 for the rubber duck toy! I told her why didn’t she say something. I was distracted looking at what to buy. No she simply said we had to pay for the toy. And made up the price.
Regardless we had already spent $400 worth of food and merch. But she still felt she needed to charge us for the 20 cent rubber toy. We didn’t want it. She could have thrown it away. We could wipe it with Clorox wipe. But her lack of customer service and empathy was greater. Avoid this place.
Thieves.
