    Big fan of Bubba Gump and this one delivers as well as the others. This is a big spot with a lot of indoor and outdoor seating. Was fairly quiet when I went, seated quickly and some great service from my server. Good vibe, was nice and chilled but with the sounds of the hustle of city walk just a few feet away. Great food, the garlic shrimp is amazing! served quickly and well looked after on my visit. Give them a visit if you’re in town.

    Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. is an experience like no other! The seafood was incredibly fresh and flavorful the shrimp dishes were absolutely to die for. Every bite was packed with amazing flavor. The staff was super fun, energetic, and full of Forrest Gump trivia which made the whole dining experience so unique and entertaining. The atmosphere is lively, themed beautifully, and perfect for tourists and locals alike. Great cocktails and outdoor seating made it even better. Totally worth the visit one of the most memorable meals I've had. Highly recommend to everyone

    This was the second time that my friend and I had Bubba Gump. The first time we went I had never tried it and I've lived in LA for the last 30 years. Let's get to it! Food: The food has been excellent bot the first and this time we came. My friend and I couldn't really remember what we ordered last time but I know we got something different this time. I ordered the stuffed shrimp and my friend got their fried feast. We got an appetizer that we got the last time that the server recommended. The food was all fantastic. It was hot and fresh and all of the flavors blended so well together. I asked for extra lobster sauce on the side so I could pour it over my rice and that was absolutely excellent. Ironically I was explaining to my friend how lucky I am about my rice and how I really enjoyed theirs. Needless to say if your looking for really good food that doesn't disappoint this is the place to go. I haven't had their non seafood items yet but I hear that they are amazing. The ribs are the next thing I'm going to try 🤤 Service: The service here is absolutely phenomenal. Nathan was our server and he was actually our server the first time we went. He some amazing energy and i I can tell he has food positive vibes. Between his recommendations of what foods to get, and the fun game that gets played with every table competing against each other, he creates such a pleasant, light hearted and fun atmosphere. I do hope we get him as our server again when we go back. #nathanoverduffy Atmosphere: I know I touched on the atmosphere of the restaurant as part of the service but those two honestly go hand in hand. Regardless the atmosphere is very welcoming, friendly and accommodating. You can have conversations at your table and not worry about having to speak over people around. I will say we were there during lunch time and it wasn't absolutely jam packed. I'm not sure how loud it gets but both times we have gone it's been about the same experience. I assume the atmosphere is amazing regardless of how busy or what time you come here. Overall I love this place. Excellent food, service, and atmosphere allake this somewhere that I will be coming back for many years to come. Until next time!

    Absolutely loved it! Went for lunch in a weekday and there was plenty of seating available. The staff was very attentive and friendly. I had the “I’m Stuffed!” shrimp, and wow—just incredible. The rice had this subtle buttery flavor, and the shrimp were honestly heaven. To drink, I had the Lava Flow (Don Q coconut rum, cream of coconut, pineapple, strawberry purée)—super fresh, sweet, and refreshing. Such a fun and satisfying meal!

    What an incredible dining experience! I thought it would be a tourist trap, but was pleasantly surprised by the fresh food, generous serving, interesting Cajun flavors and friendly service! Britney and the staff are such a great team! They were nice to my kids and had a complete kids menu! I really loved my Caesar salad with the Cajun shrimp! My husband seafood sampler was cooked to perfection! Highly recommend!
