I absolutely love Bubb Gump's! The atmosphere is family friendly and interactive (I love the trivia) , food was fantastic (I get ribs and shrimp skewers), service (Jenna) was fantastic and very knowledgeable. I definitely recommend trying this restaurant! I will most definitely be back! read more

I was downtown with my friend eating at different places. Passing by Bubba I saw a sign that they are serving crawfish. We decided to go in and try it. I love crawfish and I can report that this was one of the best crawfish boils I've had this year! We sat outside it was nice watching the crowds. Our server was very attentive and nice I want to go back and try other things on the menu read more

You don't plan your first stop on the San Antonio River Walk it just kind of happens. One minute you're walking, taking it all in... next thing you know, you've landed at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. San Antonio with a drink in your hand and zero regrets. It's the kind of place that shouldn't work as well as it does. A little kitschy, a little loud, a little "are we really doing this?" and then the food hits the table. Shrimp done right, not overthought. Steak that shows up like it's been here before. Drinks that go down easy enough to loosen the whole table up. And suddenly, you're not judging anymore you're participating. There's a rhythm to it. Jokes flying across the table, strangers turning into temporary friends, that unmistakable San Antonio swagger rolling through the air like humidity. You catch yourself laughing harder than you expected, staying longer than you planned. It's not refined it's alive. And here's the thing: it's clean, it's tight, and it feels like they actually give a damn. That Southern hospitality isn't some marketing slogan it shows up in the way they serve you, the way they treat you, the way the whole place just... works. It's not just a meal. It's a memory waiting to happen. Five stars. Go make your own. read more

2 days ago was a 45 minute wait time (was packed for a holiday week) but the wait was worth it. The food was delicious.

Cai, You rock! I love how hardworking you are! You made my first time at bubba gumps an amazing experience. I love your energy! I will definitely come and ask for you again! Plus you're an amazing bartender who made my house vodka perfect. You listened so amazingly and I wouldn't have it any other way from you! Plus the fried pickles were amazing. Love them! I love the inside too! Makes me feel like I'm in the movie "Forrest Gump"! Cai you're my new fave bartender! read more

Finally made our way here definitely wasn't disappointed. I got the shrimp po boy and my husband got the shrimp heaven meal. Perfect servings no skimping on our meals. The service was awesome. It wasn't crowded either. Well worth the trip. Highly recommend it. read more

Service was the only thing I liked about this place. I think he was Jayden and he was fabulous. My sister had a birthday and we sung a song thats was so fun and the service was fun! The little run forrest run signs are cute but I was just overstimulated the whole time. There is so much things everywhere, loud music and smells like an old shrimp factory. I am a vegetarian and I ordered a Mac and cheese with no shrimp and my Mac and cheese tasted like old shrimp. My friend order a chicken salad and her chicken tasted like shrimp. Wait time was long but it was to be expected because we have a large group read more

Got the steak and shrimp 10/10. Our server also quizzed us on bubba gump trivia and let us stay inside while it rained. The whole place was very clean and we had a good experience! Would definitely recommend read more

We drove almost 5 hours to visit San Antonio and we will do it again to get some gumbo from Bubba Gump. We didn't have to add any seasoning to it. Definitely 5 stars!!! I also enjoyed looking at all of the history from the Bubba Gump Movie. read more

I'm not a big fan of shrimp, but that doesn't mean I had an amazing meal! My server was named Jamie and she checked on me and my family every time we needed it! The ambiance is obviously Forrest Gump and it's great to have a whole restaurant chain flourish from one movie. 9/10, would come back again just for the experience. read more

It's a good place to eat at. But a bit pricy!! So it's a 50/50. Service was very slow , but the ambiance was good.

So, I stopped into this establishment upon arriving in San Antonio. I was craving lunch, and this place was not too packed. This is my second time dining in at a Bubba gumps. The ambiance is very upbeat! I was greeted and seated promptly. I cannot remember the name of my server, but she was phenomenal! I placed an order for a fried chicken sandwich, and popcorn shrimp as my appetizer. The popcorn shrimp were nice and sweet with a slight spice kick! The fried chicken sandwich was so comforting! A healthy and juicy seasoned fried chicken breast, topped with bacon and melted cheese! The fries were also crispy on the outside and soft on the inside! I really enjoyed eating here! Check it out, cheers to good eats! read more

Always a good meal eating at Bubba Gump's. This location is located downtown on the river walk. There's parking near the restaurant, but there's a price because of its downtown location. We made a reservation and were sat immediately. The restaurant wasn't super busy, but I did notice it took a while for things like drinks and extra condiments/sauces to come out when ordered. Our waitress was okay, again can't note spectacular service as it took her a while to get us things or even check on us during our visit. The food was delicious as always. The Mahi Mahi is good as are the coconut shrimp and sampler appetizer. The redfish is tasty as well. Going downtown isn't always the most convenient or quickest way to grab a bite to eat, but knowing this is the only location in the city, makes you want to make the trip. read more

This was the place one of the people I was celebrating a Fiesta event wanted to go after the event ended. It was my first visit. We were seated immediately and elected for the outside with a view of the River Walk. I ordered the coconut shrimp with coleslaw and hush puppies and everything was okay but not very tasty. The sweet tea was pretty good and our waitress was great but a little overwhelmed as it got more crowded. We did enjoy the River Walk view and people watching from our seats. read more

This is a below average seafood restaurant. This was basically the equivalent of long john silvers. This is a disgrace to the movie and to bubba. The seasoning is nonexistent, the sauces are all store bought, and the hospitality is no where to be seen. read more

Server was Kayla. Her service was good. She was very friendly and bubbly. The tables have license plates on them saying "run Forrest run" or "stop Forrest stop" to determine if you need your server to stop by your table or not. Spiked strawberry lemonade 9/10 Pretty good drink, the alcohol didn't come through a whole lot so it was a little on the weaker side, which I'm glad for, but still tasted really good. "Of course we have scampi" 10/10 Shrimp scampi. This was so good I was hoping to take leftovers back for a little snack later, but ended up eating it all! The lobster sauce was a delicious buttery sauce, shrimp was cooked pretty well, and pasta al dente. The dish as a whole was also seasoned pretty well. I loved the tomatoes in there too, they gave it an extra pop of freshness. My only complaint is the garlic bread was a little hard and crunchy, and didn't absorb the sauce very well if you dip it. read more

No way! Sorry it's just a basic. The service was great and the servers were nice and accommodating. I am not impressed with the quality of the food. It's a no for me. I will say others enjoyed their food. read more

The food was pretty bland. It was equal to hospital food. The service was NOT THE BEST. I understand no outside drinks so the hostess asked if we finish them before we are seated. That was no problem. Yet minutes later, an entire family entered with drinks and they were seated no problem. The manager and other waitresses saw them enter with drinks and said nothing. I'm so glad I was only visiting. My family and I will never recommend this place to anyone. The ambiance was meh the outside was nice only because of the Riverwalk. read more

Very average. Enjoyed the outdoor ambiance. Server made a mistake on our drinks, but at least he fixed it. The bloody mary was not exciting, not spicy. They forgot the shrimp for it and had to bring it separately. The stuffed shrimp were delicious but there were only 5. read more

It's a chain. One of the advantages of the chain restaurant is you know exactly what you're going to get. That's certainly the case here. You walk in and there's no doubt that you're in a seafood place! They have seafood, and the food isn't bad. They have a few beers to pick from and a few mixed drink specials. Nice place if you're in the area and want something familiar. read more

Stopped in for dinner walking along the river walk and was thoroughly surprised. We sat outside along the river walk, so we had a nice view. For drinks, we ordered Lt. Dans Pomegranate Punch (don't be like us and forget the glass, you can keep it) and Benjamin Buford's Blue Hawaiian. Both drinks were good and sweet. For entrees we ordered the Shrimp Scampi and Lt. Dan's Surf and Turf. The shrimp scampi was great, it had a nice balance of creaminess and tartness from the lemon. I finished my whole plate. The surf and turf was good, though the ribs were on the smaller size. The shrimp served was incredibly delicious. Our server was warm and did nice table touching. read more

The service here is great! The ambiance is just like what you'd expect from a chain seafood places. This place is always busy since it's on the Riverwalk but we didn't have to wait since we went at 9 pm. I was disappointed by how small the shrimp was for the price but I guess when it's a big chain you can't expect much. Nothing else on the riverwalk appealed to me but I enjoyed coming here. read more

It was a nice first time experience. We ordered shrimp platter and sampler and it was alright. Can't go wrong with frying up some shrimp. The place was super busy. They offered food based off the movie and the waitress was nice. It is a bit pricey for what they offered but it's just a tourist spot. The place was spacious both indoor and outdoor dining. read more

We came in on a weekend night and the restaurant was busy! We didn't have to wait long to be seated, but the service throughout the night was pretty slow. You could tell that all of the servers were slammed. My husband and I have been to other Bubba Gump locations so we had high expectations for this location as well. However, we found our experience to be just okay. I'm not sure if they still do this but in the past, the servers would ask trivia questions during your meal. Drinks and food were decent but due to how loud the restaurant was inside, we didn't linger long after we were done with our meal. read more

First off- our waiter "Cai" was awesome!! Also the Restaurant Manager- very friendly and helpful. We loved the energy. Beautiful view right on the Riverwalk- slightly sprinkling so it wasn't HOT and muggy as usual which really helped us enjoy it! It's Christmas time too so how could you not enjoy an outside table at Riverwalk! We just did a couple small things and drinks. Our drinks were refilled for us. Our 2 dishes came out quick ! We did 1/2 lb Cajun shrimp and a bowl of Gumbo which came with two big heaping scoops of Rice like it should. The shrimp was a little expensive at $15.99 for 1/2 lb but expected. The Gumbo bowl was $10.99 and worth it. Bubba Gump offers what you would expect .. CAJUN FOOD. Nothing over the top just some good ol Cajun food. Lots of fish and shrimp dishes - anything from appetizers to desserts of red velvet cake. Expect to pay from 10$-40$ for entrees. Overall yes we enjoyed it. We will be returning ! read more

Really great food and service! We would definitely come back. And sitting on the river walk was great of course. read more

Bubba Gump Shrimp - Customer with two seafood dishes - Southern Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Came here for the first time! The wait was about 30 minutes. Upon arrival the host and our server were very nice. The server gave us recommendations and knew the names of the drinks that were pictured on the menu by memory. The food tasted great, and everything tasted fresh. It is a very busy restaurant, so you will see all servers hustling everywhere. I do think $20ish and above per plate, is a little over priced for the the type of food and environment you're in. Would def come back, and recommend to others if you're a fan of seafood! read more

This was one of the most entertaining restaurants I have ever been to. James F was our server and he was amazing. We were so lucky to have him!, Great service and the atmosphere was something I had never seen before.

The Riverwalk Bubba Gump Shrimp Co will be a memory I will never forget. read more
