    Boat Trash with Lobster
    Irving B.

    PROS: Delicious Food, beautiful atmosphere and service was impeccable CONS: You're eating seafood so the cost is around the $25-$30 range oh and if you're parking by the Aquarium there is validation but you're still going to pay $8. Experience: Let me just ask for Alexis our server, was so quick with it! They have these signs to turn if you feel like they're not coming at all to your table and I we didn't even need to use it, not ONCE. The drinks were so affordable and delicious, I recommend getting at least one round. Don't bother getting the Dippin Broth if you're sharing as a group of 3 or more there's not enough of it, this includes the Trash Bag with Lobster. HOWEVER grab the Shrimper's Heaven!! Ugh it was so good! Oh and Shrimp and Crab rolls were a nice balance of fresh and light to counteract the heaviness of the fried foods. I'm trying the calamari and ceviche next time! OVERALL: Amazing time, and if you have a chance to come during Golden Hour then ask to be seated outside!

    Service was great, and the food is pretty standard for Bubba Gump. We got shrimp and crab. We got there before the lunch rush, as it is right near the aquarium, so the afternoon gets busy. I have been to Bubba Gump in Bmore, so I always appreciate the quirky decoration. The price...well it is a tourist area, so it is higher, and it is California, so there is that. lol. Worth the meal though..

    Stopped by to try this place. I was expecting bit more. The service was great and friendly. The place is clean and well themed. The food on the other hand I feel needed a little more. I personally would mind skipping this place.

    Won't return to this restaurant. Terrible service with overpriced food. 6 people in our party and had a reservation at 6:30PM. Arrived at 6:15PM. Many empty tables but was not seated until 7PM. We were directed to a booth seating but we preferred a table. The "manager" asked us to get up because we were at a table for 10. He may need that table. He then directed us to an outside table that seats 10! The whole time we were there, no one sat at that inside table. The service was terrible. Took a long time for drinks and food. One of our order never arrived. Won't patronize this restaurant again!

    I came here for a day of trot with my Dad. First time trying Bubba Gump at this place and was a bit disappointed. Food was delicious but service needs to improve, the server forgot the silverwares after the main dish arrived. I needed to stand up and ask any server that was there . No one came over to ask for refills of our iced tea and/or if we needed anything else lol It was not busy at all, we came for a late lunch or better yet Happy Hour. I liked the inside decorations and signs posted around the walls, I took some on my camera for keepsake, so cool!

    Came here for some shrimp, items we got were good, but not great. At least not for the price tag. The fried shrimp brisket was decent. The jambalaya was good, but needed hot sauce to make it better. The shrimp mac & cheese is probably our favorite and it was also considered an appetizer. Came with free drink cups, but for the price they're basically paid for them. The place is very nostalgic and takes you back in time.

    Had a great time at the bubba gump in Long Beach. Our server was efficient and kind as well as catering to all our needs. Aaron was the absolute best ! Can't wait to be back again for all the great food and fun times ! The feeling inside took me back to being inside the movie. Ambiance was perfect.

    Stopped into this location of the popular seafood restaurant for lunch on a busy Sunday in downtown Long Beach. The food was good and the service was excellent. Bubba Gump has 21 national locations and 11 international ones, with 6 in California (including the very first one in Monterey in 1996, founded soon after the release of the movie 'Forest Gump' in 1994). I think I've visited three of them (Santa Monica, Times Square, and the now-closed one in Navy Pier Chicago), but strangely never this location that I could just walk to. Traffic was just crazy in this area (typical Sunday that was exacerbated by the Vans Warped Tour happening nearby), so happy that I walked. I put down my name for one at the check-in area around noon, with a promise of 15 minute wait. Sure enough, I got a page on my phone saying it was my time at the 15 minute mark. It's a large restaurant with a lot of dining space, so pretty sure I was the first to sit at my table for the day...pretty sure they were spacing out seatings for the kitchen's sake. Cameron was our waiter, and he was really attentive and cordial. I was planning just to try their gumbo (always been meaning to), but ended up getting a main dish (available because of their 30 year anniversary celebration). The food came out hot, right after it had been plated, soon after I ordered. Mama Blue's Shrimp Gumbo ($11.99 for a bowl) was OK: presented really well, and it wasn't too dark, cooked too long like sometimes gumbo can get. But maybe it was too fresh, with the ingredients being put together right before serving. Lt. Dan's Drunken Shrimp ($29.99) was decent, and it actually looked better than the picture on the menu (which might be a first). The 7 tail-on shrimps had been cooked well, first over an open flame, then presented on top of stone-ground grits with really good onion strings and a dark bourbon sauce. It came with pieces of andouille sausage, which tasted too much like ham to me. The place was hopping on a Sunday afternoon, and the team of servers and cooks were keeping up in this well organized display. I was done well under an hour, and appreciated the thanks by Cameron and the hostess as I walked into the humid, sunny day.

    As soon as we sat down our server, Face, was extremely warm, friendly, and quick in helping us choose our drinks and meals. Every time he came by our table he checked in on us and made sure we were doing ok. The weather was perfect today but we decided to eat inside where there was plenty of space and seating for five comfortably. Our Michelada and margarita were delicious and our shrimp, crab, chicken, pasta, hush puppies, and queso dip were amazing. Thank you Face and thank you Bubba Gump Shrimp for an epic afternoon in Long Beach.

    The server So called !! Face !! ! Huge shoutout to Bubba Gump! From the moment we sat down at our super clean table, the vibe was pure joy. The music is nice and relaxed, making it so easy to chat, and our server had the best sense of humor-such warm, funny, and incredible energy! The kitchen blew us away. Everything came out fresh, perfectly hot, and prepared with love. That burger was dripping with juiciness, and those french fries were hands-down THE BOMB-real, fresh potato flavor at its finest. Thank you for such an awesome meal and amazing hospitality!

    Staff are super friendly and helpful, Cayman was great! We ordered a shrimp and rice dish, a seafood hush puppies, and a kids meal. Food arrived quickly and tasted great! I really enjoyed my virgin Bloody Mary too!

    That's the digestive tract or poop Vein in the shrimp. I ate part of it
    Dorothy K.

    Service was average. My child enjoyed her kids cheese pizza. I ordered a combo with salmon and shrimp. The butter sauce was pretty salty and some of the shrimp had the poop vein and I personally don't like that part. So it was gross. I also asked for salad instead of rice so I could gwr brocolli and salad as my side. It came with rice and they brought the salad. No brocolli. Anyway, I only come here cuz my kids like it. The atmosphere is fun. If it wasn't for my kids I wouldn't spend money here.

    Two happy customers!
    Melissa B.

    Alexus was a fun and engaging waitress!! I have a lobster allergy and Alexis was very intention to ensure that my needs were met! She brought out our food in a timely manner and checked in frequently! She was really involved and quizzed us about Forest Gump trivia! This was an excellent first trip to Bubba Gump shrimp! We'll definitely be returning!

The restaurant was clean and the service was friendly and attentive, but unfortunately, for the most part, the food fell flat. I originally wanted to try the shrimp po'boy, but I asked if I could have regular mayonnaise instead of the garlic mayo they serve with it. I was surprised when I was told they didn't have plain mayo, so I decided to go with something else. I ordered the fried okra ($11.90), which I didn't enjoy. It was very heavily breaded and overcooked. We also tried the fried chicken ($18.95) with mac & cheese and mashed potatoes, and unfortunately the chicken was another miss for me. My guest did enjoy the steak salad ($17.95) with grilled tri-tip, so that was better received. One definite standout was the complimentary cornbread they brought to the table. It was excellent and easily my favorite thing I tried. Our subtotal was $50.75, with $5.32 tax, bringing the total to $56.07 before tip. I'm sure Georgia's has plenty of loyal customers, as it has been around for a while, and the clean restaurant and attentive service were positives. Unfortunately, the food just wasn't to my taste, and based on this visit, I don't see myself returning.

After waiting over an hour, we still only received about half of our order. About 40 minutes into the wait, I was told they were out of chicken, which meant I never received the chicken and waffles I ordered. I also never received my baked beans. I understand that restaurants can run out of items, but I wish we had been told much sooner instead of waiting that long. What makes this even more disappointing is the amount of money we spent, and as you can see from our receipt, we tipped very well. We came in wanting to support the business and have a good experience. Unfortunately, between the long wait, missing food, and the quality of what we did receive, I honestly don't feel the experience was worth the money. We were also visiting from out of town and specifically chose this place, so it was disappointing to spend such a large part of our visit waiting for food we ultimately didn't receive. I really feel that some type of refund or compensation should have been offered, especially for the items we paid for but never received. I do want to be fair and mention that they gave us complimentary water and banana pudding, which we appreciated. However, it didn't make up for waiting over an hour and not receiving our complete order. Would I come back? Maybe, but only once things are more organized and structured.

The wing was the first piece grabbed out the bag and the temperature wasn't there. No juice, just luke warm dried meat. The second piece I grabbed was the drumstick and again temperature was off. No juice or no steam. It didn't feel like these pieces were under any heat lamps. Felt left out as each piece eaten didn't really have any residual heat. 3rd piece I grabbed was the thigh which I mistook for a breast because it was bigger in size. After positioning in eat mode I decided to pack the rest home instead because the chicken wasn't hot enough. Funny thing is after 1 hour drive my chicken breast piece had some retained heat. Little did I realize the stellar fries kept the breast warm. Shame on this place ... even KFC is enjoyable once order is secured. Their hot sauce packed in cups were good Hopefully they work on the their chicken game because it's comical that their fish outshined the chicken.
