Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. - Santa Monica (CA)

5 /5 Aaliyah S: We visited this spot in the evening, about 30–45 minutes before closing at 10 PM, right off the Santa Monica Pier. The service was excellent the staff was very friendly without being intrusive. I loved the unique ordering system with the Forrest Gump flip sign it’s a fun touch and helps servers know when you’re ready. The food was absolutely fabulous. We had the chicken, which was tender and flavorful, and our salad was fresh and delicious. The atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable. We’ve also eaten at their L.A./Universal location, which was equally impressive. Overall, great service, great food, and a welcoming environment I’ll definitely be coming back!

5 /5 신지원: We have wonderful time there. I dont know his name, but the server is really kind and nice. As we were pondering the menu, he appeared and provided a detailed explanation of the menu. It was very helpful, and we had a pleasant meal. After finishing the meal, he didnt forget to give us two cups. It seems like they give it to us when we order a specific cocktail and we were happy to receive a surprise gift. The store also offers quizzes about the Forrest Gump movie, you can participate that! Wish you have great time in there.

3 /5 Minty Fresh: This restaurant is inspired by the movie Forrest Gump, one of my all-time favorites. The inside is decorated with photos and scenes from the movie, which is really nice and instantly brings you back to the film. The food, however, was pretty average and not quite worth the price. The kids’ meal was cute and came served in a little boat, which they enjoyed. I ordered the Cajun shrimp as an appetizer — it was okay. For my entrée, I got the grilled chicken sandwich, which was also just average. Most of the dishes on the menu are fried. We also tried the Bourbon St. Mahi Mahi & Shrimp, and it was just okay as well, missing depth and flavor. Overall, a fun theme and great nostalgia, but the food itself was average.

5 /5 Mary Whiting: Bubba Gump Shrimp Co was a pleasant dining experience! I was surprised at how the service was excellent, dishes were scrumptious and beverages delish. I was expecting this touristy restaurant to be less, but was delighted that I was wrong. It was a fun lunch, especially the method of communicating to your server that you have a need or letting them know youre good, no attention needed. See the attached pics of fun method! Overall, I was delighted! Truly!
