Bubba Gump Shrimp Company

Bubba Gump Shrimp Company is a fun place to eat and drink or take the family out.  Based on the Academy Award winning film, "Forrest Gump", the restaurant is named after the shrimping business named by his buddy, Bubba, when they returned from the war.

Bubba Gump's dining room is full of pictures and memorabilia from the movie. When you are seated by a cordial staff your server will ask you if you've seen the movie and then ask some trivia questions to test your knowledge.  I know not everyone wants to play quiz games but the premise is you're on vacation and are in the mood for something unique.

The menu is packed with seafood options both as dinner or baskets.  I've had the fish and chips and shrimp dinners.  They also have sandwich or burger options for the lighter appetite.  A full service bar is manned by friendly bartenders.

I always give Bubba Gump's an overall "A" for service, pricing, and atmosphere.  Located at Universal Studios City Walk, the prices are higher than away from the park but that's always to be expected.  It is, however, always a positive experience for our family, and we think, if you're in the mood for seafood or the Forrest Gump theme, you'll enjoy it as much as we do.
