Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.

The Bubba Gump Shrimp is a great quality American seafood chain restaurant that’s known for offering delicious southern style dishes ranging from fried shrimp or shrimp scampi as well as well-made burgers and baby back ribs. The Bubba Gump Shrimp was inspired by the 1994 film classic, “Forrest Gump”, starring Tom Hanks and the restaurant’s interior features an extensive collection of homages and memorabilia that honor the film. In August of 2022, I brought and treated myself and my wife for dinner at Bubba Gump Shrimp and we very much enjoyed our dining experience!!! The staff warmly welcomed us upon our arrival, and escorted us to our table in short order. Our waiter, Leo treated us with great respect and kindness, did a great job on taking our orders and delivered our meals in a timely fashion. He was also kind of enough to take a great picture of both me and my wife while we dined at our table. Leo deserves a huge kudos for his wonderful service!!! Both my wife and I highly enjoyed our chicken tender appetizer and definitely loved our entree selections. I had a delicious caesar salad with grilled chicken while my wife had a superb shrimp based meal!!! What my wife and I also also enjoyed about our time at Bubba Gump was our access to great views of New York City, specifically Times Square, seeing the hustle and bustle of the city, and its numerous fashion retailers, such as Old Navy & H& M!!! The Bubba Gump Shrimp is definitely a top restaurant worth visiting and dining for all who come to travel and explore New York City!!!

Everything was perfect! Bubba Gump is really a very very good restaurant chain. It is my favorite chain in the United States. The service is excellent, the atmosphere is superb and the dishes are perfect! It's quite expensive (about $30-35 minimum per person), but it's really worth it!

The meal I had tonight was probably the greatest I've ever had in my life! This was the second time my wife and I have come to New York but the first we've visited Bubba Gump's and probably one of many more. My wife ordered calamari for her starter, which was crispy, flavourful and delicious whilst I had a small bowl of gumbo. Being from the South, I'm very particular when it comes to gumbo since its hard to get right but what I had was absolutely perfect with a great level of spice that made me want to eat more and more. For mains, my wife had the Shrimper's Heaven which was absolutely perfect and I had a classic; fish and chips which again is difficult to get right but was perfectly seasoned and the fish was delightfully crispy yet light enough to not make me feel like I overate. My friend had calamari and a steak with mash and broccoli, all of which were beautiful. Our server Chris was outstanding; he was friendly, laid back and very charming and the trivia game he played with us made it into an outright experience. Its servers, service and food like this that will make people come back and we will certainly be back.

Everything was amazing. We went to this restaurant for our friend's birthday dinner. We enjoyed every moment. My highlight of the night was the birthday song Wow wow wow. If you want to celebrate your love ones birthday this is the restaurant to take them!!!

Food was outstanding! I got the 20 for $22 and it was excellent. We had 4 people having dinner and everyone was extremely satisfied. Our waiter, Tye, was amazing!! And I cannot say that enough. Pricing was nowhere near where I thought it would be. It was actually pretty reasonable! We all would definitely go back again without hesitation. If you want good seafood and delicious drinks, give this place a shot. You will not be disappointed!!

Incredible place! The setting is based on the Forrest Gump movie and there are movie details everywhere. The place is simply incredible for those who enjoy that movie and also particularly the premises of Time Square is gigantic with several very large floors with a lot of space. It is always crowded with people and the delay can be up to 40 minutes. The food is incredible, a huge variety of seafood prepared in different ways, all exquisite, the bar is very large and you can eat there comfortably (even this shortens the waiting time a lot). A place that you have to go to know without a doubt.

Came with my friend from Italy since he has never been BGS before. He liked the food. Extremely attentive service checking on us all the time. Ordered the soup and few other dishes. Cocktails were good too. What i like about the most was that they gave us a cocktail kit as a souvenir when we were done for the dinner.

The food was OK but the problem is the waiter. He was acting weird maybe a little racist while I was checking out he printed the receipt and then he specifically walk over to me and tell me where I would put my tip and then he asked if I would put a TIP and cash or on a credit card which is really weird. LIKE EXCUSE ME!? i know my English and i know where to put tips on a receipt okay! You do not have to do that extra unnecessary step! I SAW YOU DIDNT DO THAT TO OTHERS WHY TO US? I KEPT MY MOUTH SHUT the whole time not speaking about until now i am feeling like a victim from domestic violence or something similar to that! So traumatized to think about why i even stayed and let that waiter treated me like this. is it because you think we don’t speak English!? Everything he did shows that he did not trust me and he thinks I was going to leave without giving him tips. i was going to give tips but with what he did, he did not deserve it, however, I ended up giving him 15% tip but I have to write this review because it was a very uncomfortable experience! TERRIBLE!
