About this restaurant

  • Kid-friendly
  • Lively
  • Good for groups
Capturing the magic that made "Forrest Gump" an American classic, Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. serves scratch-made, southern-style comfort dishes plucked straight off the silver screen – we’re talking sautéed shrimp, fried shrimp, coconut shrimp, shrimp scampi...(shall we go on?), alongside award-winning baby back ribs, burgers, salads and more in a fun and energetic atmosphere.

    The air conditioner was broken, the food was undercooked, and the shrimp tempura tasted like frozen shrimp from Costco heated up in a microwave.

    I was unhappy with what I ordered that I ended up not ordering anything else. I ordered a shrimp po'boy sandwich. Bit into it and realized that my fried shrimp was not deveined - none of them. As we all know most of the options are fried shrimp so I didn't trust that my next option would be any better. My father ordered steak and grilled shrimp meal and it was acceptable to him. My daughter ordered linguine with chicken and she says it was really salty. She ordered the new passionfruit Boba drink and it was also really sweet, that she actually had to return it and only wanted water going forward. Our server was really kind and helpful! Staff felt a bit overwhelmed that they were speed walking throughout the facility.

    Watch out for up charges. Our youngest ordered a kids meal and drink. Their drink (a soda) was tallied as 5.19 rather than .99 as on the kids menu. My other kid ordered a speckled lemonade and we ended up also paying for a souvenir glass we wouldn’t have asked for (a $6 up charge). Service was a bit uneven as far as when food came out. Our kid got hers super early, but she was entirely finished before the rest of our food came out. The food quality was solid and there were fun nods to the movie. But the generally fair prices were overshadowed by the up charging. Double check your receipts before you pay.

    Great southern fried fish and shrimp. Decent amount of non-fish items for my wife. Best iced tea we found in NYC

    A neat place to go while in the theater district. Great views. The food was fair. Predictable choices. It was an enjoyable experience. But we would likely not go back. Our waitress was attentive and very nice.
