I love shrimp and was thinking of trying out Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. on our upcoming vacation. Any reviews?
 
We have been there a few times, its pretty good.:thumbsup2
 
My husband and I went to one in Tennessee a couple of years ago and plan to go to the one in Orlando on our upcoming trip. We both thought it was good and while our teenaged son didn't eat there (he'd rather have fast food) he did like the theming. :thumbsup2
 

I love them. I've been to locations in Orlando, Daytona, Charleston, San Francisco and Monterrey, and driven past one in Honolulu I wish I had time to hit. All my meals have been good, and I get Mama Blue's shrimp almost every time. The garlic bread appetizer is very good too.
 
I love Bubba Gumps! If you love shrimp than this is the perfect place to dine! I highly recommend.
 
We really enjoyed it. :goodvibes

Here are a few pics:

All right, that first pic doesn't want to cooperate and resize. If I can't get it right tomorrow, I'll delete it....
 
Looking at the Menu they seem to offer quite a bit for us non seafood loving people. Don't get me wrong I love seafood- but I am more of a crab and oyster lover. Anyone have any opinions on their non seafood options like burgers and such? I see they have crab legs but they're probably upwards 23-28 bucks. The tripadvisor reviews don't seem to be very nice to anything that doesnt contain shrimp :sad2:
 
It was ok....not fantastic. We aren't fried food people, and we found a ton of their food to be fried and greasy. However, I will admit it was tasty. We just aren't used to eating that kind of food so we felt a little ill afterwards :sick:
 
Their burgers are really good also. Brilliantly themed as well!

Who doesn't love Forrest Gump though!?
 
For the people that don't eat seafood, I had a ceasar salad one night since I was not very hungry. But I did steal a few of my wifes shrimp.:laughing:
 
It's good food, not fantastic. I thought it was a bit overpriced for what it was.

Am I right in assuming its a Red Lobster type "Seafood" restaurant? Don't get me wrong I love red lobster, but for the biscuits and pasta, not fresh seafood.

Don't get me wrong loved the movie and themeing is great and love how just about everyone there do trivia on the movie but no the sea food is not fresh and last year I had some beer battered fish that you could tell they were frozen but they do have good burgers and love their onion rings :thumbsup2

good to know. ;) thanks for your honest opinion. I love Forrest Gump so I will probably eat here at least once to experience it. But I'm not going to order a 25 dollar platter and it not be worth it or fresh. I'll do that when I go home and have it fresh off the boat.
 
O/P here - For those that have eaten at Bubba Gump.

Did you have a long wait for a table? They do not accept reservations.

We've never waited more than a half hour, but that was during dinner time in the summer. Typically we walk right in and are seated immediatly.

It's no different than any other restaurant and totally depends on when you go.

I've only eaten there at lunch and have never had to wait. I've always been seated immediately.

As far as the food, this past Sept I had the stuffed trout and it was just OK. In Dec I had the Shrimpers Heaven and it was very good. It came with four kinds of shrimp in metal cones with fries and cole slaw and three dipping sauces. Two people could easily share it.

Here is the menu:

I agree cause we went in July last year at night and it was a 45 min wait and longer depending on how many was in your party :thumbsup2
