Some friends grabbed dinner to go from here. Wanted a salad, so I grabbed the fried chicken salad. Epic fail. The chicken looked to be a day old, and overcooked when it was fresh -see images- I have the experience that salads at restaurants are typically better than to to, but man this is some inedible junk. $22 im the bin. Off to get dinner. 2 starts because im not sick yet. Thats the bar. Would not reccomend.
Great seafood spot. Bayside Market was busy but we were seated immediately. Air conditioning was not working, fans but blowing warm air. Food was good. Our server Antonio was great. Good overall experience.
Very good time in this restaurant The service is perfect and fast, the price is decent and the decoration is great. The dishes are good. I strongly recommend it if you want to have a great time
Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. is a fantastic place, especially for fans of the movie Forrest Gump. The restaurant is full of memorabilia and references to the film, and every corner has something interesting to see. The ambience is fun and immersive, making the experience memorable for anyone who remembers the movie. The food is also very good, with classic Southern-style dishes. A special tip: the jambalaya is exquisite and definitely worth trying. A great spot for good food, nostalgia, and a unique dining experience.
Ramona was an excellent server, she has a great attitude, fun and vibrant! She checked on us several times. We dined inside. I ordered the ribs which were fantastic, fall off the bone and the BBQ sauce was perfect! My husband had the shrimper's Heaven which he also enjoyed. We started with the queso dip and that was amazing, I used the cheese for that with my fries as well. I enjoyed a lovely blue Hawaiian drink and received my tumbler cup to go on the way out at the gift shop! He had a bloody Mary which came with a giant shrimp, two olives, & banana peppers. We will be back next time we are in the area!!
