    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    Sooooooo about lunch... you know how you're writing something and too many calls are coming in--…read moreyou get sidetracked -so I really meant to write this sooner (no lies here), but when I tell you the service was 10/10, you've got to come visit. My sister and I visited this past --our walnut salad was fresh, the Riesling hit perfectly, and the calamari came out with that golden crunch to die for. But our server... all we could say was Steve, Steve, Steve!!!! He took the cake! Talk about impeccable service and making you feel genuinely welcomed--that's an understatement. This was my second time here, and I've gotta say, I think this has officially become one of my all-time favorites. Downtown Long Beach has always had such a fun, foodie-filled atmosphere. I know some restaurants are struggling, but it's because they didn't have the same atmosphere & service. The food is great, but what really stands out to me are the PEOPLE. Even the servers who weren't serving our table intentionally, smiled, and said hello as they passed. I even remembered one of the servers from my last visit and her sister because they both have some of the most inviting personalities ever. That says a lot about the culture of a restaurant. We also had the opportunity to meet the new GM, which was another nice touch. Great food. Great ambience. GREAT people. And Steve,,,you're the best! 10/10. We'll definitely be back. Oh and to little sisters-- remember that big sister's rule.

    A New Job, A New Milestone & A Chance to Rewrite the Narrative…read more My best friend and I have a tradition of celebrating new jobs with a nice dinner. Since this was her new job and a major milestone, I let her choose the restaurant. She had visited Bo-Beau last year but didn't get the full experience, so this was her chance to rewrite the narrative. And it was truly night and day. I researched the restaurant beforehand and was excited to see that Bo-Beau is part of the Cohn Restaurant Group, which I mostly associate with San Diego and South Orange County. After this experience, I really hope they're here to stay. I noted on our reservation that we were celebrating her new job, and for once, the restaurant actually read the note and acknowledged it. From the moment we walked in, the hospitality was excellent. The hostess welcomed us downstairs, another staff member greeted us when we reached the rooftop, and our server quickly followed up. Then came the surprise: complimentary champagne for both of us. It was such a thoughtful gesture, especially because those little celebratory touches seem to be increasingly rare. Our server was also patient with our questions and attentive throughout the evening without being intrusive. We spent about 2.5 hours enjoying dinner and catching up over: Baked Brie Brussels Sprouts Steak Frites Everything was flavorful, and the entire experience felt relaxed, peaceful, and worth the price point. The food was great, but the hospitality is what earned the 5 stars for me. Real hospitality is paying attention to the guest, recognizing the occasion, and making people feel genuinely welcomed. My best friend got the celebration she wanted -- and a much better Bo-Beau experience this time around. Will definitely be returning!
