    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!

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Popped in for dinner & it was phenomenal! Sean was our server and Sean was the bomb! The vibes were fun and our food was fast, vibes were vibing, and bites were delicious! I had a lot of shrimp! Coconut shrimp, tempura shrimp, Cajun shrimp, fries... lol! Can't wait to go home and watch Forrest Gump!

    Tony P.

    Great seating area. Wait wasn't bad considering it's at universal. Prices is also very dial and their seafood is very flavorful and fresh. I would stop by here for a seafood craving. Their shrimps are huge and flavorful.

    This Bubba Gump location is one of my favorites. Always festive and good food. Being a Landry's member helps to shorten the wait time.

Our waiter, Tim, came right to our table and he was immediately warm and personable. We ended up speaking and joking with him throughout the meal and it made it that much more enjoyable. We ordered mac & cheese, a biscuit, broccolini l, coleslaw and two chicken burgers. For one of the chicken burgers, we asked for grilled chicken instead of fried chicken and they were more than happy to accommodate. Both the grilled and fried chicken were incredibly tender and the sandwiches were so tasty. The mac & cheese was some of the best I've ever had. It was creamy and cheesy with a layer of baked cheese on top. The coleslaw was also perfectly sweet and crunchy. The biscuit was cheesy, warm and flaky. To end our email, Tim brought us a piece of hummingbird cake on the house, and we really appreciated the gesture. Between the food and the service, this was a fantastic experience and I can't wait to go back.

    Food Made With Love…read more I'm visiting from out the state and the only food I desired was southern cooking. There were a few choices on Yelp and Google but I selected P&D. The first letter of the husband an wife names. My expectations were high, and they should have been based on the reviews. This is not a standalone location as the are other businesses within the same building. You won't see P&D on the exterior signage but you will see "Soul Food Kitchen" A la carte buffet style food served. I like this so I could see what I'm ordering. Which is way I should have not purchased the Mac&cheese. Macaroni noodles and shredded cheese melted within. A serious faux pas for macaroni and cheese. I observed how many customers appeared to be regulars, and several people were ordering additional food to take home. I ordered two full meals. The main dishes are served with cornbread dressing on the savory side or rice. One suggestion for P&D would be to offer a brown gravy option alongside that is not meat-based specifically for the dressing. The highlights for me were the yams, fried fish, and pork chop and red velvet cake. Those dishes were well seasoned & well-prepared. Without being critical of the other side dishes this is what I would say: Sharing a few side dishes with your group before committing to larger portions. If you're a singleton stick to yellow rice, yams, and beans. While some food choices did not meet my palate, I can understand why this place has a loyal following. The welcoming familial atmosphere, location, and comfort food are sometimes the basics of what people need to get through the day. Service: 5 stars Food portions: 5 stars Food presentation: 4 stars Parking: 5 stars Returning?: Unlikely "When food is made with love, it's hard to critique the heart."

We had to make sure to get an array of different things to try as much as possible. So we ordered.. smothered pork chops, fried catfish and shrimp, lemon butter chicken wings, red rice, Collard greens, Lima beans, black eyed peas, cornbread, candied yams, mac and cheese, and some onion fries.. with some sweet tea. I want to tell you, every bite I took had me closing my eyes and smiling. My only complaint was the lima beans were a little bit salty, but when I ate it with everything else it didn't really matter. The lemon butter fried chicken wings were absolutely amazing. I have not tasted anything like that in my life. You can't go there and not get them. You need these wings. I'd also like to say that all the sides are meat-free , so vegetarians come get some . We ate till we were full, and we had enough to take home as well. We took an order of bread pudding home for dessert and that was absolutely delicious too. Overall absolutely great food. The staff took care of us very well. Highly recommended!

Let's focus on the positives first: the atmosphere is incredibly fun and the live music Saturday night was a perfect touch at the bar. There were plenty of fun activities for the kids and there was an all-you-can-eat buffet for the kids with fried chicken and shrimp, macaroni and cheese, fries, and red velvet cupcakes. $25 is a deal if your child would chow down on shrimp, but it might not be a great deal if your child is usually full after four bites. Our server was absolutely fantastic, friendly and very attentive. We started off the dinner with some fantastic deviled eggs and a lemon cello cocktail. I ordered the shrimp and grits and was really disappointed with the tiny, overcooked shrimp and crawfish that accompanied the slightly bland grits. The shrimp on the kids buffet was at least four times larger than the sad little shrimp in my dish. I think the sausage was cut into smaller chunks just so it wouldn't be so obvious how small the shrimp was. My husband didn't love his heirloom tomato salad and said the Wagyu appetizer was disgusting. Dessert was mediocre. The macarons that accompanied my crème brûlée were stale and chewy. This is a fun spot for a drink and appetizer, but I would skip eating dinner at Highball & Harvest.
