Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Bubba Gump in Ft. Lauderdale offers a "great atmosphere with movie memories" and beautiful ocean views from its outdoor seating. The seafood options like the shrimp boil and seafood platter are highlights. Service can be slow, but "the sauce with hints of lemon is always a fav." It's a "great birthday celebration" spot.

    Unfortunately, the best thing about this restaurant was the BBQ sauce and references to Gump. The ribs super tiny and they do not give a full rack. The fries tasted burnt, the calamari was nothing but batter, the rice in the jambalaya was weird (more like risotto), and the server took forever for everything. We had to pay at the counter because she was off somewhere on her phone. We tried to enjoy ourselves, but we will not return.

    Food was awful, honestly it’s just a long John silvers but a different name. Expensive and just not worth it. My husband got the crab stuffed shrimp and that truly was amazing but the fried feast and calamari do not recommend.

    My mom and I shared the crab and shrimp boil, the crab legs were pretty small but they have a big portion of shrimp, overall I’d get It again

    We always enjoy a meal at Bubba Gumps and the Fort Lauderdale location did not disappoint. The outdoor seating was great with a view of the ocean. Kayla took very good care of us. Hubs had the seafood platter and I had the Shrimp Scampi with linguini - the sauce with hints of lemon is always a fav of mine.

    Not the greatest food or service. Very disappointed. The only time our server was friendly is when bringing the bill.

    This location is right across from the beach. The view and ambience is beautiful! They seemed to be lightly staffed so service was a little slow. This restaurant was one of the more reasonably priced in the area. The food was good.

    Our meal took 45 minutes to come out. When it arrived it was cold and tasteless. Will never return.
