Leo was such an amazing server! Very friendly, made us feel very welcomed, and so helpful as well! The food was absolutely fantastic. Another 10/10 trip for me once again! read more

Amazing !! Best service and server . Great customer service , had a great time here e

Great food, great atmosphere and great service. Nancy was our server and she made the experience very enjoyable.

Took the boys to Universal Studios and didn't really want to eat anything in the park, so we decided to grab something at Bubba Gump Shrimp. When we walked up we were greeted by the hostess outside and she took my numbers down to alert me when my table would be ready. It took about ten minutes and we were brought to our table. The place was pretty packed, our area was clean and the waiter was very cool. I actually think the service was a little better than the food. They have plenty of options but most of their entrees include shrimp. They also have an extensive kids menu that has everything from cheeseburgers, corn dogs, chicken strips and some fish, crab and shrimp options. So it's definitely a family friendly restaurant. Lastly, they have a plethora of mixed or blended drinks that look amazing! I was driving home so I passed but usually I get one if going into the park after. My kids decided to order the corn dogs and fries meal and the Mac n cheese and fries meal with Shirley temples. They had no issues and scarfed it down. I'm not sure if it was that good to them or they were just hungry. I ordered Lt Dan's Drunken Shrimp and it was pretty good! The only thing I didn't like were the onion rings on top. They were too soggy so my boy ate them . One thing that was pretty cool that gives them an extra rating point is the waiter coming to our table and playing a trivia game with us on the forest Gump and the Super Mario Bros movie. It was fun and made the wait time go by quickly. So, because of that my rating goes up an extra point. Overall, the food was an about a 3 and the service bumped it to a 4. Very cool and fun environment and experience for the kids. I would only go here if going to universal studios. OOOO 4 out of 5 Afros read more

Came here on a Wednesday around 7PM. Grew up coming here since I was a young child, I had high expectations. My family ordered bang bang shrimp, shrimp gumbo, and I ordered fish and chips. Not one of us were pleased with our food. For a seafood shop to serve bad seafood is just disappointing. Shrimp were cold, the gumbo was bland and the fish and chips tasted like nothing.. all of it tasted as hospital food. Server was Keira. She was not the best. She only really spoken to us once and watched all the other servers ask us if we needed anything. We were clearly unhappy with the food and asked if we could just order something else and all she said was the kitchen is backed up. Which I get, but if the food ordered was not up to par whatsoever. Very forgettable experience read more

I ordered the Mahi mahi shrimp dish and the plate was room temperature and the shrimp was rubbery and cold. Shocking that this is a shrimp place. Spoke to the afternoon manager Dan, but he did very little to make this right and had very little to say. I will never eat here AGAIN!!!! Update: Rhamona A. ( business Manager) requested additional feedback, like the review doesn't cover ALL that was WRONG with the food presentation. Really Rhamona? are you just buying time and trying to make it look like you really CARE? That seems like your JOB Rhamona to submit to corporate!!!!!! They provided me a link to NO WHERE!!!! Typical CUSTOMER SERVICE "RUN FOREST RUN" they are not lying read more

My husband and I stopped here during our visit to Universal City Walk for lunch. The restaurant is setup nice with a great view of City Walk. With high table options, booths and outside dining. It was a really nice day as we chose to sit at a high top table bordering the outside area. Our waiter was great and was extremely friendly (I forgot his name but, he had a really cool feather earring in his ear that was distinctive). The reason for the three stars is the food, which e ordered the Strawberry Salad and Calamari. The salad could have been fresher as some of the greens seemed welted and was overly doused with dressing. The calamari tasted like store bought refried to be served. Not sure if we would return back other than the seating options and the perfect lighting (not overly bright or dim). read more

We came here on a Monday and after googling it said they have happy hour at universal city. However, when we showed it they said they don't have happy hour at all at this location. So that was a bummer!! Our bartender was friendly though. I forgot his name, but he was great. We got a few drinks. I liked my passion fruit margarita. I got a seafood platter which had fish, shrimp, and seafood hush puppies. the fish was big and crunch on the outside/flaky and moist in the inside. He got a chicken sandwich which he enjoyed especially the bacon on top. Yummyyy! read more

Came here after a walk around city walk for some dinner. Ordered the shrimp and crab rolls and my fiancee opened the little seafood feast. The food took quite a long time, longer then I expected even for it being busy. Highlight of the meal was for sure the French fries, such a weird thing to rave about but they were fresh and perfect. My lobster crab rolls were amazing as well! The rolls were a little hard for my liking but the filling was really good! My fiancees meal was also really good, the shrimp was definitely the best. The hush puppies were decent, but the fish and chips we were not fans of.. batter was rubbery and the fish was kind of heavy. The service was great, our waiter and other stuff were on top of everything. read more

Location 4 stars: On the Universal City Walk in Universal City, California. You will need to use one of their parking structures. You can enter the Universal Studios complex via Lankershim or Cahuenga Boulevards. At the time of my visit the fee was a prepaid $10 a day for standard self parking. No parking validation. The restaurant is right off of the elevators and escalators from the Jurassic parking structure. They also offer VIP? self parking and valet parking but I have not tried them. No street parking. While you are there and have already paid for parking, might as well stay around and visit the many stores on the City Walk or go see a movie at the AMC :). Venue 4 stars: This is a theme restaurant based on Tom Hanks' Forrest Gump movie. It is owned by the chain restaurant giant, Landry's. It is a touristy set-up using many cues from the movie. They take reservations which can come in handy on weekends. Most of the clientele are tourists in larger groups and with young kids, who are visiting the Universal Studios theme park or the City walk. It features indoor and outdoor seating and a full bar. Service 3 stars: The servers are well-accustomed to the tourist crowds who do not expect much in terms of service and often do not tip well either :D As a result, the service is friendly and sufficient, but not attentive. Our server would disappear for extended periods of time and we had to work hard to get her attention when we needed something. The service was also very slow and food and drinks took a long time to arrive. Food 3 stars: As everyone who has seen Forrest Gump knows, most of the food is based on shrimp and other shellfish, cooked in the Southern tradition, just like Forest Gump's BFF Bubba wanted :) Concepts, ingredients and plating are mainstream and designed to please the masses, and taste just OK. We had the Shrimp New Orleans (Good), the Crab and Shrimp Rolls (just OK... It resembles a Lobster Roll in the pics and I was expecting chunks of Shrimp and Crab in a buttery sauce, it was more like a tuna salad made with shrimp and crab; mayo and all) and the Bourbon street Mahi (just OK...the sauce tasted good but the fish was overcooked). Prices are under $30 a plate which is reasonable but the taste wasn't quite there. Drinks 3.5 stars: Full bar and soft drinks. They have a large list of specialty cocktails but mostly sugary stuff. Prices are reasonable. I had their old fashioned which was average. The Bottom Line 3 stars: An average restaurant. I would go there once in a while for the nostalgia or when I am visiting the studios or the City Walk. read more

I am a regular patron of Bubba Gump's, and a member of Landry's Select Club. Tonight, we were surprised and delighted for the first time ever by Duffy, who gave exceptional first service. We ordered the fish and chips, and the Maker's Mark salmon, plus the queso. All were exceptional, and with a food allergy at the table, we were handled with exceptional care. Plus; Duffy was great at creating a fun environment and experience as he asked us trivia about "Bubba Gump," "Super Mario Bros.," and a surprise Sponge Bob SquarePants question. Please give Duffy and also my other favorite, Aaron, a raise. #KayListentoDuffy read more

This gave me food poisoning but thoughts before it did: Portions are good for the price and vibe but everything in general lacked salt. Calamari (6/10): the batter & crunch is nice but it has a very strong flour taste. DEF needed more salt Shrimp cocktail (7/10): no different than what you'd get at a grocery store. Shrimps not deveined Baja Ceviche (7.5/10): best out of the 3 but still mediocre. It has a subtle kick and it was generous with the shrimp but this definitely needed more lime and salt. Overall, I could eat a little of everything but I wouldn't crave any of this ever in my lifetime. I probably wouldn't even order it again next time. Service was nice tho. read more

Sebastian crushed it with service. Menu has all hits no misses. Get the garlic bread and gumbo every time! read more

This is the definition of a Tourist Trap! The food here is just straight up bad and the prices are outrageous for what you get. You can just tell that everything is frozen and then microwaved. Zero skills or good flavor involved in the kitchen. It's a location which purely survives off the name, and paying homage to Forest Gump. Admittedly, the decor is pretty cool for movie fans, but nothing could save food this bad from getting a 1 star. read more

Bubba Gump at CityWalk can be kind of hit or miss sometimes, but the food is usually enjoyable and you definitely get the full Bubba Gump vibe and experience here. The service ranges from good to bad but I've had some wonderful experiences, specifically with Sergio! Its convenient location will keep me coming back though I generally prefer the Long Beach location. read more

Haven't eaten here in forever!! Decided to grab lunch here with my bf and really enjoyed it. We shared some plates, coconut shrimp and some crab cake things with rice and it was plenty, way more than enough. Surprisingly the crab cake things were very filling but so good! Our waiter, Leo, was an absolute treat and super sweet. He complimented on my bright magenta hair and basically told my bf that I was a keeper lol!! Great sense of humor and was very attentive. It wasn't super busy when we went that day, it was a Saturday I believe and around noon. Not sure how often they change their menu but I would love to come back and try their other things! We used to come here with family all the time but with other restaurants around, it's tough! But this is one on the list to revisit for sure. IG: @ammysalamii read more

Food was delicious. Had the Jambalaya with Linguine instead of rice, recommended by our fantastically cool and entertaining waiter Myles. Super fragrant and the shrimp and sausages were cooked to be nice and tender. Great thing to warm my soul during a cool spring night. Myles was a fantastic waiter as well. Jovial and with just the right amount of jest, playing games to keep us occupied while we were waiting for our food. read more

He brought everything from gloves for the shrimp to extra veggies for the margaritas. He made sure everyone was taken care of to every extent, literally was running, even offered our cousin a special fruit puure for her baby :'). Cannot say enough good things about CARLOS!! read more

This is another touristy restaurant along Universal city walk. It's pretty good food for an expensive price. I've been to other locations before and they were slightly better. We ordered some drinks and some Calamari for an appetizer. It was good. For our main courses. it was Shrimp New Orleans for me, and fish and chips and the strawberry salad with chicken for my daughter and wife. My shrimp had flavor but was over cooked quite a bit, but after a long day at Universal, I wasn't feeling up to sending it back. My daughter enjoyed her fish and chips. The same with my wife's salad. Dessert was good as well. The service was as expected. Overall, not a bad experience.. just not great. read more
