    This drink came with souvenir glass!
    Sara L.

    Stopped in for a quick bite and drinks at the bar. The drinks were great and the service was excellent. We ordered the sampler appetizer and it was only ok. I'll definitely try something else next time. The place itself is pretty fun with all the Forest Gump decor. There's so much that I'm willing to bet plenty of people are convinced Forest Gump was a real person... They also have a cute gift shop and photobooth.

    Ok, so fun fact about me. I've never watched Forrest Gump and I had never been to a Bubba Gump location in my life.. BUT I have enough of a pop culture frame of reference to know about the film but I was surprised to learn that this restaurant is related to this film lol. It was my last meal during my Orlando vacation and I had a great time. I had a crab boil which was decent enough. The meal definitely met my expectations for a chain restaurant in a touristy family friendly area. Our server was very nice, I would say that it took a little long for the food to come out but I was admittedly tired after spending a long and hot day at Epic Universe. What I appreciated the most was the ties to the film, which I am now more motivated to watch after eating here.

    Been a while since experiencing Bubba Gumps. Busy and vibrant. The staff were fantastic and fun. The food was just OK. The Lt. Dan's Drunken shrimp special looked great, but somehow was missing flavor and was actually a bit cold. The jambalaya was hearty and good. The wine selection seems a bit of an afterthought but it is a more "casual" place. The service is what really stood out here.

    Coronaritas to kick off the night!

    One of our fav spots to grab a drink and appetizer at CityWalk!!! We love to sit at the bar after a fun Universal park day and enjoy a drink and share an appetizer. We tend to get the Run Across America Sampler which is Fried Shrimp, Seafood Hush Pups, Chicken Tenders, Queso Dip, Tortilla Chips, and a few Dipping Sauces. The bartenders are always super nice and friendly and the atmosphere is so fun with all of the Forrest Gump items around the restaurant.

    We loved our recent Thursday evening experience at Bubba Gump at the CityWalk! Our server, Doug, was excellent and the food was delicious. Their special anniversary "Dippin' Broth" is a must, must order!

    We gave this place another try...our last experience was not the best..I had a gift card and being a Landry member they sent me a special treat for my Birthday, so why not? Mike the manager came over and introduced himself and wanted to make sure we had a great experience ...We had Yasmin for our server and she was just adorable and full of personality! Ordered the large app. With Queso, Shrimp, Chicken, Hushpuppies and was served hot and fresh and also the Fish platte with Shrimp and the same for that...lots of food and hot and fresh and served quickly..ordered Strawberry Lemonade, very good but not 8.00 good, that was a little shocker... Overall for a tourist place it was very good and you can see management interacting with the guests and I love seeing that they are concerned...I would go back again when we are on area again..we had. A good experience and loads of food...you must check out the adorable gift shop too!

    First time here and will definitely be back! Stopped in here on the way to see a movie and had a great experience!! Sat at the bar and the bar tender was super friendly!! I tried the appetizer sampler which is called 'Run Across America Sampler'. Which is such a fun name!! The inside of the restaurant has such a fun theme! I'll definitely be coming back here soon!

    What a great experience!! Chelsea was amazing! Great with our son, knew the menu through and through! Creative suggestions great service!!

    New Orlean Shrimp replace the rice with pasta.

    So glad we were able to stop at this location when we were at Universal City Walk. It wasn't busy they were able to seat us down. The waiter recommended the stuff shrimp and yes there's crab. Hubby got that and he said he would go back and order that again I got the new orlean and replace the rice for pasta. It was delicious. Can't wait for our trip back when we visit Florida again. So sad that the Hawaii location closed down. The located is located at city walk. The place is clean and there's lots of table. The customer services is great. We will be back again. Maybe in another location or bring it back to Honolulu.

    Stuffed shrimp
    James C.

    Still one of my favorite places just because of the movie. Bubba Gump is a great place to sit down and eat your fill! The whole place is decorated in Forest Gump theme. Heavy ties to the movie. The food itself is great. Well seasoned and cook. I got the stuffed shrimp. Full of flavor with a mix of shrimp and crab stuffing. Service is always fun here as they also play into the movie theme. They ask questions about the movie to test your knowledge of it.

    Watermelon Margarita.
    Dana S.

    My husband and myself had another enjoyable meal here and our server Chris did a great job answering questions we had about spice levels for the foods we were going to order, making sure we had the drinks and food came on a timely manner. We loved the movie themed decor around us and we remembered some of the scenes from the movie because of the decor. Our food was delicious and filling. We will return again!

    Bang bang Shrimp
    Kate C.

    The bang bang shrimp was fantastic! Just enough spice and sweetness (I do recommend it with ranch). The stuffed shrimp was very flavorful and good (just the rice portion was super skimpy, they do need to do better bc even my pic looks small, and it was). Prices were average for this around average of $20-30 pp. We loved that the kids menu comes with carrots/celery or side salad (healthy options). Our waitress was great! The decor is so cute! Everything screams Forrest Gump and we had a lil trivia from our waitress at the end. Love it!

    Cajun shrimp

    One of our favorites at CityWalk. Food is always great and service is always exceptional. Love all the nods to the movie and trivia from the staff while waiting for food to arrive.

It was 30 minutes from our hotel, so I was hopeful that it wouldn't disappoint! We got there relatively early (20 minutes after they opened for the day), and nobody else was there, so that was kind of awkward, as was being told to order from a kiosk (or use the QR code at the table), rather than give my order to a human. But the kiosk allowed us to kind of 'shop' before making our decision, so that was good. Since we were the only customers, everything came out fast and fresh (in fact, his came out a few minutes before mine, so I had to steal his fries until mine came out, lol) Hubs got the Ultimate Smash Burger and Fries, which was delicious. Soft bun, big burger, delicious fries. I got the Chicken Dippers, and y'all - they were HUGE! And you got SIX of them! Well-seasoned and well-fried, with a flavor that I know I've had before (spice-wise), but I couldn't put my finger on. I ended up only eating two of the tenders, and brought the other 4 home for leftovers. The staff were all super-friendly and attentive. They gave me a box/bag for my leftovers, and bussed our trays when we were done. Seating is ALL tables, so if you're a "Booth Person" you might be bummed. But the seats were comfy, even on a bigger tushie like mine. Paper towels, salt & pepper, and ketchup were on the tables. The only 'con' for me was the hush puppies... it had pieces of corn in it. This is a personal preference, of course, but I like my HPs without pieces of corn or onions, so I didn't ding them for that! Great job to everyone here, everything was delicious. It's on my "Must Go Back" list for next time I'm in the area.

When I arrived with some of my dinner guests, we still had a wait before we were escorted to a private room. We encountered an issue with one of the servers and I had to request to speak with a manager. Rachel came over and we spoke about the unfortunate situation we were having. Rachel apologized and worked to get us someone else to take care of us. After that, we settled in and enjoyed the rest of our dinner. I ordered the Beef Empanadas, the Tequila Sunburn Glazed Salmon (comes with Mashed Sweet Potato and Green Beans) and a Dragon Fruit Margarita. The Dragon Fruit Margarita was delicious. I didn't want to get full before receiving my food so I took sips while we waited. It was hard not drinking it all too quickly. It was good. It was served in a glass with a sugar coated rim and lime wedge. The Beef Empanadas are an all-time favorite and never disappoints. I couldn't eat all my food so I packaged the rest to go. I was presented with a glass of ice cream topped with whipped cream and cherries. A candle perfectly placed in the ice cream was lit and waiting for me to make a birthday wish and blow out the flame. The night was not over yet. After dinner, we went outside and sat to listen to the live steel pan music. It was a wonderful way to end the evening. As the cool air embraced us so did the melodic tunes of the steel pan music. Thank you Rachel for salvaging the evening and remedying our unfortunate experience with one of the service staff.

    The Cowfish Sushi Burger Bar is a unique dining concept that combines two completely different…read morestyles of food: sushi and burgers. Located in CityWalk, we walked into a space that leans heavily into the idea of mixing Japanese-inspired dishes with classic American comfort food, creating a menu that feels more like an experience than a traditional restaurant. The interior has a fun, energetic atmosphere with colorful decor, making it a popular stop before or after visiting the nearby parks. The energy in the room is lively, with a mix of families, groups, and couples, and the layout includes a bar area that stays active throughout the evening. The biggest draw is the "burgushi," which combines burger and sushi elements into one dish. It sounds like a gimmick at first, but we found that some of the combinations actually work surprisingly well. The sushi options are creative, with specialty rolls and presentations that make the dishes stand out, while the burgers provide a more familiar option for anyone who is not looking for seafood. We tried a few of the specialty rolls and found them well executed, with fresh ingredients and thoughtful flavor combinations that did not rely solely on the novelty of the concept. The burgers are solid and offer a reliable backup if you are not in the mood for sushi. The menu has a good variety, so groups with different preferences can usually find something they enjoy, and the playful presentation of many dishes adds to the overall experience. Beyond the main dishes, the appetizers are also worth exploring. The crab rangoon dip is one of the more popular choices and fits well with the restaurant's style, offering a fun twist on a familiar flavor that we found enjoyable as a shared starter. The fries and shareable items make it a good place for groups, especially if you want to try multiple things instead of committing to just one entrée. The variety across the menu encourages sharing, and the portions are generous enough that ordering a few appetizers alongside the mains works well. Service can vary depending on how busy the restaurant gets, and we noticed that wait times can become longer during peak hours. Reservations are helpful, especially around park closing times when many visitors are looking for a place to eat. We arrived a bit early and found the bar area to be a good option while waiting, and the overall environment made the wait feel less inconvenient. The staff were friendly and handled the busy flow with efficiency, though the kitchen pace can slow when the restaurant is at capacity. The Cowfish Sushi Burger Bar is worth visiting for the experience and creativity behind the menu. While not every item will be something you would order repeatedly, the combination of sushi, burgers, and playful dishes makes it stand out from typical CityWalk restaurants. It is a place that works best when you go in expecting something fun and different rather than a traditional sushi or burger restaurant, and the balance of novelty and quality makes it a memorable stop during a visit to the area.
