Bubba Gump Shrimp - Frozen Mango Margarita - Seafood Near Me - Miami, Florida

I was excited to see Bubba Gumps in South Beach, so I stopped by for lunch to get The Jenny, which is a broiled talapia on top on potatoes with a lobster sauce which is soooo good!! I substituted the potatoes with rice and got a add on of grilled shrimp, fyi. They practice social distancing by wearing masks and seating guests at every other table. I enjoyed my experience here in the outdoor covered patio. The staff was great! I can't wait to come back. read more

Bubba Gump Shrimp - The Jenny with a side of grilled shrimp, very good! - Seafood Near Me - Miami, Florida

I went to Bayside this evening and walked around for a while. I was excited to try Bubba Gump Shrimp as I had never tried it before. We got to the hostess stand where there wasn't anyone posted. We waited about 10 minutes until we saw a staff member pass by, she saw us but did not acknowledge my party. About five minutes pass and we are still standing there. The staff member mentioned above came outside only to grab a party that she must have spoken to earlier who was waiting. Again, she did not acknowledge us standing there at all. Finally, a line began to form and she walked outside. Looked at the line and asked us for how many. We said two. Then she looks at the menus on the podium and looks inside and says "It's going to be a twenty minute wait". She doesn't take our name or anything and walks away. She passes by again and a woman from the party behind us asks if we have to stand in line. The staff member then says "Yeah you wait here or you can walk off and give me your name and I'll put it on the iPad". The lady looked skeptical like if she put her name down she would never hear back, as I felt the same way. The manager passes by and doesn't acknowledge us. But, I ask "So we have to stand here, no one is going to take our name or anything?" He replies in a condescending and rude tone "You're next, just wait here. We're full. We're cleaning tables now". Finally after contemplating, we decided we did not want to spend our money at an establishment with such poor service. Which was a shame because the ambiance looked great and the menu items looked intriguing. Unfortunately, due to the lack of professionalism and good service they lost our business. I don't recommend spending your money here for below mediocre service. Especially when there are plenty of other dining options in Miami. read more

I've been coming here for years and yeah sometimes you have to wait hours to get a table and your food but other times you don't it's a hit or miss. if you get there early around 8:00pm then you'll get your food fast and get amazing service but it does get really busy. The foods never changed still have the same good flavors! Ambiance is of course based on the movie, through out the years this place has stayed the same which is nice because of all the memories I've had when I was little and now I can share them with my sister :) read more

First of all, I have no idea how they even have staff - it is UNBELIEVABLY HOT in this restaurant. I would have walked out on my first day of training if I were them. Food was mediocre, the only pleasant experience was with our waiter. Skip out on this one read more

I love this place literally every time I go there I always have a good time and good food also lets not forget the amazing service

Bubba Gump Shrimp - Poo Boy... very good! - Seafood Near Me - Miami, Florida

It's a chain restaurant, I know, but I did expect more from it nonetheless. The space matches any other Bubba Gump - lots of references to Forrest Gump and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. We were taken to a table right away and the staff that served us were friendly, but not overly so. We found the service to be "meh" at best. We ordered cocktails that said on the menu we got to keep the glasses but they came to us in different ones than were pictured and ultimately didn't get to keep them, which was part of the reason we ordered them, and they were also out of key ingredients in the cocktails and had to make alternate versions. I didn't enjoy my salmon very much as I found the whiskey or bourbon sauce to be pretty overpowering, and there were several spots were my salmon wasn't cooked enough. The fries were fine, the mashed potatoes were pretty bland. I enjoyed the fish and chips my husband got more, but still didn't love it. My nostalgia for a great movie won't be bringing me back to Bubba Gump, at least for a while. read more

Oh man !!! I love this dish and I ate it all up!! That sauce is so good that they put on there. My cousin ordered rice instead of the potatoes and I had the mashed Potatoes. They were both good with this dish.!!! If you go here I'd order this for sure!! read more

Bubba Gump Shrimp - Jenny's Tilapia - Seafood Near Me - Miami, Florida

Let's start with the condition of the restaurant. we were a group of 6 and sat outside, okay? That was a great idea since the inside was a bit warmer than I would have been comfortable in. Now the tables... the table we sat at was clean. However, only had a pepper shaker on it. The tables around us were unclean, unclean as food crumbs, and unwashed, while none of them had a complete setup of salt/pepper paper towels and hot sauce. I went table to table to collect salt, ketchup, and hot sauce so that we would be ready for our lunch once it arrived. The frustrating part was that there were at least 2 to 3 waiters/waitress standing chatting with no sense of urgency to clean up and do any prep work for the lunch crowd. The food arrived 3 orders of the crab and shrimp roll.. chowder.. Jambalaya, shrimp po boy, Baja ceviche, and 2 orders of calamari. None of the crab and shrimp rolls looked anything like the photo... they were skimpy, to say the least. It was almost like they were trying to make the stretch the filling to last ..at $24.00 a roll, I expected a full roll of crab lumps and shrimp. I wish I had taken photos of our plates to show just how they came to the table. The chowder was hot, as was the jambalaya. However, both were overfilled and spilled onto the plate.. no one bothered to tidy plates. The two orders of calamari were very much enjoyed by the guests... as well as the ceviche and the por boy. I know that this isn't a five-star restaurant, but dear God, simple steps could have made this a pleasant experience. Honestly, I didn't want to eat here since I had been to the chain in Vagas and really came away with the feeling it's an overpriced chain. I was out voted, so I wanted it to be a delicious and delightful time for our Miami day trip.. and went in with an open mind. Well, that's my review. I wish it was better, but then again, I wished I had a better meal. read more

It was actually pretty bad. Giving this a two is really more than it deserves. However the gumbo was pretty good so I got to give them a little credit.The only red wine they had was Merlot. Everything else they advertise they were out of. The shrimp dinner consisted of three types of shrimp, coconut, fried and tempura. if I had to guess I would bet that all three were frozen and you get better quality at Costco. it's a shame this whole area seems to have gone down over the years. Used to be that they had some nice restaurants with great views of the water. Time for them to completely re-develop Bayside. And this restaurant really needs to go! read more

This was my very first time at a Bubba Gump which has always caught my eye. I came to Bayside for a Heat game so we all agreed on Bubba. As soon as we walked to the host stand we were greeted with a cold, blank stare. I then told the host we have 3 in our party. We walk in near the bar area; the ambiance is very nostalgic and fun! Huge Forrest Gump fan here!! We got settled in to our table & waited for about 5-7 before our server came over. We ordered a couple cocktails; watermelon margarita which was terrible. About 15 mins later we ordered with our server Maria. She says "tell me what you want" immediately taken a back; but we order. 1/2 lb peel shrimp to start. It took about 20 mins to hit our table. Unfortunately, it was EXTREMELY overcooked. Super tough and bland. We asked for butter which was cold and had no flavor at all. We're starving and server is nowhere to be found. We eat as much as we can bare. Our entrees come 20 mins after that. Forrest seafood feast was okay. Just fried food. Can't mess that up too much. My son got the ribs; he enjoyed them. Towards the end of our visit we ordered two shots. Rumplemintz. Our server says "rum?!" "No, rumplemintz please." She walks away and we wait. For another 20 minutes. I just ask for the check. She then says "well your drinks are at the bar if you still want them." I agree. She brings over two cups with two rocks glasses with ice and lemon. She tells me it's rum. I simply tell her no, this isn't what we asked for. I just ask for the check again. Check is dropped off. She circles the bottom of the receipt that says "tip is 15%- 20%" Here's the kicker: she writes out " 20% = 21.38$" ON THE PAPER HERSELF. Honestly, it's too funny. I can only say the ambiance was the only thing they have for guests to enjoy. Food is subpar and service is terrible. Unfortunately, we will never be back. read more

Frank is an overbearing bully with zero customer service skills. I watched him yell at other employees and call waiting customers with a hand wave and no greeting. And if you ask where the restroom is be prepared to get a short blast of disrespect. Would never come here again or recommend. Thanks Frank!! read more

Such a fun atmosphere! Family enjoys the food and the service has been great in previous visits. Heading back there today!

Frank was amazing! Not only were our drinks perfect, but this guy was multitasking a few different jobs and we never felt neglected. When you come here sit at the bar and watch Frank go! Run Frank Run! Best service ever. read more

We decided to eat here before a heat game last Wednesday night. Great location to walk to the game. Had the typical bubba gump shrimp decor which is always fun. Food was served hot and promptly. We had the best server. They were so attentive and patient. We were a party of four, but the couple we were meeting with got stuck in traffic. They continually checked to make sure we didn't need anything while we waited. I unfortunately cannot remember their name, but they drew a heart on our receipt. Amazing service for a budget friendly restaurant. Better service than a lot of the nicer restaurants in Miami. Really wish I remembered their name so they could get the recognition they deserve. Highly recommend eating here as a break from the pretentious restaurants that seem rampant in Miami. read more

Wow. Just awful. Abjectly filthy dining room and restrooms. No toilet paper in the men's or ladies. Leaking plumbing in the men's and the toilets were overflowimg. This was the state of things minutes after opening for lunch which indicates to me that they never clean or do shift work. My wife saw an employee doing her hair and makeup in the bathroom, and ignoring the disgusting state of things. We complained to the staff about the restrooms and in the time we were there nothing was done, not even toilet paper replacement. Very limited menu compared to other Bubba Gump locations I've been to. We had shrimp scampi and it was greasy and watery. Just gross. Not at all up to Landry's standard, which, let's be real, is not a high bar. This place should not be open for business in the state it's in today, it's a health hazard. read more

Of all the restaurants we tried in the bayfront area, this was the only good one. The food was satisfactory, and the server was friendly and attentive. The loud music from the photo booth is not within their control. We will try it again if we are ever forced to return to Miami. read more

Food and service was horrible. Never again will they get my money. The waitress was very inattentive and the manager was no better

I was really disappointed in this place. I understand it's a huge spinoff from a very very old movie called Forrest Gump. I think that concepts pretty much played itself out especially with the fact that the food here sucks. The whole concept of this restaurant coming from the movie Forrest Gump, was that there was gonna be all that shrimp dish is served here. This is not the case. The shrimp choices are very limited in what is available actually sucks. I ordered the fried shrimp which clearly came frozen in a box to the restaurant. We live on the water here so surely we could have fresh fish and fresh shrimp. But this restaurant doesn't go the extra mile to purchase fresh products. My fried shrimp lunch or something you should expect at a ballpark. Heavily breaded what tiny little pieces of shrimp inside. We were very disappointed I will never go back. read more

Wait time too long, from being seated to ordering food to getting our food to paying our bill. The food is bland, calamari is too dry and boring. The shrimp sampler is boring too, nothing extraordinary, just oily. There are other places around the area that you can pick from, try the other places... I will not recommend this place... read more

Our tour bus went to eat at this place. Meals were prepaid. Being highly allergic to shrimp, I expected an alternative meal( they were informed ahead of time). All I got was a small dinner salad..and it was not even tasty or pleasant to look at. They did not try to accommodate and I certainly did not get my money's worth meal. Worst place to eat and not friendly. Blonde waitress made effort to ignore me, when I needed dressing..yes .no dressing sent with this yucky salad I give this place an F. Never will go back and never will recommend. Don't waste your time. read more

I know it's a chain, but honestly our food was great and the service was even better. I had the gumbo and a strawberry salad with shrimp. The gumbo was very tasty. I would have that again tonight. The salad was fresh but the shrimp were not seasoned. The rest of our party had variations of fried shrimp (coconut, tempura, battered) and a shrimp scampi. I like the tempura. It was well done. This location was busy but not crowded when we arrived at 6pm. The blender was well used because it was a muggy night and I'm sure that the walk up bar was busy. read more

I've eaten at Bubba Gumps from Honolulu to Times Square to Miami. The food is always consistently good although I need for them to put the garlic shrimp with the garlic bread back on the menu. Once they found out that we were Landry Rewards members, AJ the manager, came over & greeted us & our waiter Brandon was very attentive. read more

I take there my dad before a basketball game and because he is from Europe he can see what Bubba is about . Its wasnt that great experience . Waiter lost . Forget stuff i wanted . Shrimp tasted like Walmart shrimp .. Not something that Captain and Gump catch on their boat. That was probably last stop there and no more. Nothing special no reason come back. read more

Went in a group of five and ordered: 1. Shrimp New Orleans - flavor was off, too sweet. The rice was over boiled. Not New Orleans-style. 2. Shrimp Scampi -- too acidic and watery. There was too much lemon juice and water to this. 3. Accidental Fish & Shrimp --never had more bland flounder in my life. It tasted as if it was boiled (over-boiled), and served. No amount of salt and pepper (not fresh cracked pepper) could fix this. Really tried. 4. two orders of shrimp po boy w/ fries and onion rings - standard I have to say, nothing on the menu tasted good. The flavors were wrong and bland. This is the worst seafood experiences I've had, and should not be, considering most entrees range from $16-$20. Pros: -peppy/flamboyant server -seating for large groups available. can easily fit a group of 10 somewhere Cons: -bland, overpriced food -no customization on dishes, (is the food prepared before you order?) -located in Bayside where you have to pay to park, around $10/hr. We paid $20 because we waited for 20 mins to get seated, and the food took a while. Would never come again. Wasted over $100 on this establishment. read more

We had drinks and some appetizers. Lisa was our server and did a fantastic job. Location was very relaxing. Highly recommend.

I've been to many Bubba Gumps but this has always been my favorite. The garlic shrimp appetizer (which we asked for without sausage) is amazing - perfectly buttery and spicy and nothing is better than dipping the accompanying garlic bread in the oily sauce. Today I ordered Forrest's Seafood Feast, complete with cajun fries, hush puppies, fried shrimp, and fried fish. So yes, not what you're looking for if you want something healthy since every single thing is fried. It tasted a bit dry (which is somewhat expected on account of it just being fried) but dipping in the remoulade takes care of that. Also got to try the Shrimp New Orleans, which has a nice kick to it as well. We came in at around 3 in the afternoon so naturally there wasn't a wait, but you'll always have a decent wait if you come at peak hours. Our waitress was good about checking on us but my only complaint is that she could've been friendlier. read more

My cousin and I ate here for dinner the night before our cruise. The food was just ok...we've definitely had better at other restaurants. The appetizer and the drinks we had were good, but our main meal lacked in flavor in our opinion. I had the Lava Flow and my cousin had the George Peach Iced Tea. We chose these drinks because they came with souvenir cups. The appetizer we had was the "Bubba's Far Out Dip" and we added shrimp to it. It came out piping hot and did not disappoint. For my main meal, I chose the "I'm Stuffed! Shrimp". The crab stuffing just tasted like regular stuffing that one might eat at Thanksgiving time and the shrimp were overcooked and tough to chew. My cousin had Jenny's Catch and she said her's was decent, but lacked in flavor. She added some salt and pepper and that seemed to be enough for her. I'd probably pass this place up if ever in the area again. read more

Wish I could give this less stars , came on Tuesday evening and my partner and I got food poisoning. They are refusing to do anything about it because we did not go to the hospital.

Great tourist trap restaurant if that's what you're looking for. The food is pretty alright and the drinks are good. My biggest complaint is that they always seem to have all the doors open so it's very hot inside. The service is a little slow but that is because they are always busy. read more

This is the second time we eat here. It's located in the front of Bayside Market place. It has a store on the side where you could purchase souvenirs, T-shirt's, hats, cups, etc. everything Forest Gump themed "life is like a box of chocolate...". The hostess will guide you to your waiter who will guide you to your seat. They have inside seats and plenty of outside seats, but it all depends if the Miami weather is cooperating or cooking up your skin. Inside it all looks like the inside of a boat or a dock, again watch the movie to understand, great movie too!!!! They have old license plates from all 50 states all over the walls. Outside they have a cute seating area, it is next to a large tree. This would be a great spot for a cozy, romantic date. Their menu has plenty of options, their prices ARE a bit high. We ordered the Old Fashioned New England clam chowder as an appetizer, so yummy!! It came with small bit size crackers. For entrees we had the "...of course we have scamp!!" (Pasta) and the Jambalaya ;P The scampi I asked to mix the wine with the Alfredo sauce. It had a good amount of thick shrimps and it came with one piece of garlic bread. My fiancé said the Jambalaya was very good ( de p***a ), but it is spicy spicy so prepare your pallet. Lastly we had a Bloody Mary, I wasn't such a fan of it my fiancé was. It looked appetizing though. So let me end my book of a review with, you must try this place at least once :) Oh and the customer service was fantastic!!!!! read more
