When my family and I visit Anaheim we always book Bubba Gump. We enjoy the ambiance, the food and the location. This last visit was exceptional because Karen made our experience amazing. She was wonderful creating a fun atmosphere and ensuring we had everything we ordered and had anything we needed. Thank you Karen! We will be back! read more

First time trying Bubba Gump and I thought it was pretty solid. We got appetizers: Bang Bang Shrimp, Onion Rings, and Ceviche. Honestly I had no idea the bang bang shrimp was going to be fried so that was a nice surprise. The flavors of the ceviche was good. Onion rings were nice and crisp. Too bad the restaurant doesn't validate parking though. read more

This was my first time going to Bubba Gump Shrimp Co., Anaheim. It has been an annual tradition of my friend and I (since college) to celebrate each other's birthday with a free meal. We started the tradition back when Denny's was giving free birthday meals, which later evolved to free Grand Slams, to free "mini" Slam breakfasts. The last couple years we switched to the BOGO from Hof's Hut. I convinced him to get a Landry's Select Club card and he chose to use his free $25 meal at Bubba Gump for his 68th birthday. My friend wanted to beat the crowd so we met for lunch at 11:30am. Our server Evie was very nice and attentive. The atmosphere was nice with all of the movie themed decor one would expect. The background music was a little loud but not so loud that we couldn't have a good conversation. He had the Captain's Fish & Chips and I had the Shrimp Po Boy sandwich. We both enjoyed what we got. My sandwich was tasty but I wish there were a couple more shrimp in there. There was a "surprise" at the end of our meal. The staff came out, sang a special birthday cheer song, and gave my friend an ice cream sandwich cut in half with birthday sprinkles. I didn't know restaurants did this kind of thing anymore but it was fun and not embarrassing at all. Thank you Bubba Gump for a good experience! read more

Not sure what the point of a reservation is if we're not seated at our reservation time. We made a reservation for 4 on OpenTable for 7:15pm. We arrived a bit early and checked in with the hostess to let her know we were here. We weren't seated until 10 minutes after our reservation time, and they even called a different party of 4 before us. I've never seen Forrest Gump, but there's a lot of references to the movie as well as a gift shop. The inside of the restaurant is well themed and immersive. The service itself was fine although our server took a while in the beginning to greet up and get us water. We got the calamari to start, and it was bland. I had the coconut shrimp as my entree and subbed my fries for onion rings for an extra $2. I wouldn't recommend the onion rings as the insides were doughy and undercooked. The shrimp themselves were fine. The meal was surprisingly filling. One thing I liked was that the cocktails were relatively affordable. I had the Blue Hawaiian, which was alright. I thought the cup it was served in was a little funny looking, but it turns out that it was actually the bottom part of a cobbler shaker that I got to take home. That was a nice surprise. I will note that the lid does tend to get stuck a bit though. Although I wouldn't come back to Bubba Gump, I am now curious about Forrest Gump the movie and will give it a watch eventually. read more

As a Landry's member, I am impressed with our experience, especially after the great service our server "Laura" provided. One of the managers even checked on us. This was possible the best experience I have had at any Bubba's (including Universal Studio, SF AND Monterey, CA). Definitely looking forward to returning to this Bubba's. Quality of experience: A++ (beyond expectations) Quality of food: A++ Price: $$-$$$ read more

We felt like seafood and comfort food today so we dropped by Bubba Gump's by Disneyland. Food was delicious, as expected. We started off with a cup of clam chowder (I've had better but still good) and then shrimp ceviche & chips. The ceviche was pretty tasty and plentiful. Hubby had the fried chicken and I had the grilled salmon and shrimp with their butter sauce. I also asked for a side of their yummy bourbon sauce, delish! Our server was Laura and she was always helpful and super friendly. Please clone her, we just loved observing her with all customers and she was great! The ambiance was fun with the Forrest Gump décor. It all made for a great Forrest Gump dinner! read more

I've eaten at Bubba Gump shrimp co. A couple of times before but in a different state. The food is always great and so is the service, and here was no exception. But here our waiter was faster than any waiter we have had before. He came by for drink orders and my wife wasn't ready so he went to bring my diet coke and wanted he will be back faster than you think and he was back in seconds, so my wife still wasn't ready, so he said he would go get water to give her some time. Well that only took seconds, so she still didn't know but then he helped her choose. During our meal he noticed my diet coke was getting low so he might a refill just before I needed it. He was always available for anything we needed. Bubba Gump is a chain so you generally know what to expect, but the service here was exceptional. I think we may go for a second visit before we leave town. read more

Our dinner was very good. Fish & chips cooked perfectly. Our server was amazing. She quizzed us on "Bubba Gump" and she was good! Her name was Karen and all I can say is she killed the service . Great employee you should be proud of ! The restaurant very clean and enjoyable to have a good meal. Life is like a box of chocolate read more

Wanted some good ol shrimp in a bucket so we popped in here. There was a really long wait for a table for 2 but we waited outside and enjoyed the nice evening. Once seated our server came over and took out order. Food came out fairly quickly and tasted good. We were happy to be full. read more

It's so hard to write this review because for many years bubba gumps was such a treat and we would drive over an hour each way to come here . It's been a few years since we have visited because we moved away . We were so excited to finally get back here just to he completely disappointed. The service was the only good part of the visit so I appreciate that . We got the appetizer shrimp to start , omg it was so chewy and rubbery , I was like uh oh I hope this is just a fluke . I ordered my usual which is the hush pups and they came like warm at best .. Next is my daughter's meal, mamas blue fried shrimp . She was eating just the fries and I'm like what's wrong , I don't think she wanted to tell me how gross they were so I took one to try . YUCK!!! Overcooked and tasted old , the fries were good but that was it ! What in the heck happened to bubba gumps, because I'm so sad the quality is just garbage . I will never be back , and even writing that in this review makes me so sad . So many years of good memories and good food just ruined . If you're a tourist and don't know any better it might taste good , but even then I doubt it . It's just horrible quality food for the crazy prices they are asking read more

Our waitress La Quatra was great. She made our experience memorable. We will definitely visit this location again.

The food was good, and our server was very friendly and efficient. The alcoholic beverages were also on point!

My stepson graduated and loves shrimp, so what place better than Bubba Gump to take him to? The food was prepared quick, and tasted good. The waiter was attentive, and great. The restaurant looked like you would expect a Bubba Gump to look, and the little shop was nice to visit as well. Was a little disappointed they don't validate parking, especially since we parked just to visit that place. read more

Our servers Cody and Lily were the best and were totally cute in explaining the blue "run" and red "stop" license-plate style signs to get their attention. Bubba Gump is really a blast into the past if you remember / watched the 1994 movie. We were a bit far, but was able to hear their "trivia session" in the main dining area. (I think the prize to answer right were branded cup cozy things) The cajun spices can be doubled in spice/heat, but overall the crab and shrimp boil has a nice mix of things. Would definitely recommend "family style" and getting another entre to share. The boil comes with bibs and crab shell cracker tool and mini fork. If you have Cody and Lily, you're in good hands! read more

Fun place with good service, but the food did not make the mark. Most of the group had decent food, but my fish n chips left a lot to be desired. The batter on the fish was soggy and hard to chew. My fries were also cold. Maybe just an off night. The waiter played some forest gump trivia and gave away some prizes . A good night overall. read more

Just arrived in Anaheim this morning and needed a place to eat quickly. Decided to stop in here and was greeted and seated quickly, this was right after lunch and it was not busy. My server was outstanding ! The ambiance was unique and decorated well with Gump items. The place was very clean and welcoming. The food arrived hot and was okay, typical deep fried food. Nothing was a WOW factor. Pricing seemed a little high with what was presented. More of a tourist venue than a quality restaurant. But let me stress the server was outstanding!! read more

Many thanks for a delicious meal to celebrate my husband's birthday dinner. Bobby Lee, his Manager, and the Bubba Gump team were attentive, welcoming, and friendly. Bobby told us hilarious jokes throughout the hour we were dining there, and also prepped a list of attractions for guests that are out of town. We didn't need it, but it was really nice that he goes out of his way to do that for his guests. Their rib-eye steak was cooked to a perfect medium rare and seasoned perfectly. Everything thing we ate: the garlic bread, fried calamari, Maker's Mark salmon with rice and broccoli, and the rib-eye steak with broccoli and mashed potatoes were delicious. Thank you for a great dining experience! read more

Last night, we had a reservation for group of 20 people at Bubba's. Our server was David, he provided a fun environment for our big group. He took the order of our drinks first, and then our order of food. That gave our group of people time to decide on what to order. David also came out with some movie trivia questions and provided prizes for correct answers. It was a great choice to have all of us go to Bubba's as the customer service was great. I'm happy with the experience for all it was the first time the whole group had gone to Bubba Gump except for my husband and I. I would definitely recommend this spot for a big group. read more

Not bad, not great. I mean the food was delicious, but for the price I was hoping for more. It is in a main tourist area so granted prices were going to be higher. Our server was very nice and attentive, the food came out quickly and was hot, orders were accurate. The place is good, but not amazing or incredible. read more

Waiter was great. Atomosphere was positive and fun. Food was mediocre at best. It was food quality that you could find anywhere. The fried chicken salad was little bits of dry fried chicken. It look liked there was a chicken rationing going on. I would have been embarrassed to serve it. The clam chouder was lacking flavor and needed help. Luckily there was some Lousiana Hot sauce on the table. Even the Arnold Palmer was just so-so. I looked across the table at our friends plate of Calimari. It looked like someone just reheated the plate. It did not look good or appetizing. None of the food was presented well. Very pricey for what you get. Remember, you are paying for the atmosphere, not the food. read more

For my first ever visit at Bubbas, David was an exceptional waiter, he was kind, quick, and very funny ! not only was the food amazing the staff was just as amazing ! watching the manager help out and constantly sound up beat made me feel like this is a place even Id like to work!

Our family came here to celebrate a birthday and our server was friendly, attentive, personable, and she made sure we had the best experience possible. Our overall experience with Evie was amazing, and she made sure to take care of us like we were her family. I ordered the 'Shrimp New Orleans', and I recommend it to everyone that loves fresh grilled shrimp with a Cajun kick! The restaurant is clean, organized, and inviting to small and bigger parties. We will definitely be coming back! The food was great, and we are now big Bubba Gump fans. read more

Empty empty empty And I kinda understand why!! Portions are not worthy for the price. I'm sorry when I pay 21 for fish and chips I expect more than 1.5 pieces of frozen fried fish. Our server was super nice and took care of us however, for lunch with 2 $60 is too much. Should have lunch specials or something. read more

Matt was our server and he gave us a great experience. He quized us on the show. We have been to 2 other Bubba Gump's and as this was by far the best. The food was great also. Two of us has the ribeye & Stuffed Shrimp; another had the salmon & shrimp; another the fish and chips, last the teenager had a cheese burger. It was all great. And I forgot to mention the appetizers we had were awesome. I had a cup of Clam Chowder and the others shared a Shrimp Cocktail. #GoTeamBarMatt read more

Food was great, are server however was not great I was so excited to eat here we are visiting from Washington, she was very rude. Then after dinner I asked her about validation on our parking and she told me they don't validate parking, that's fine the cheesecake factory was better anyway!!!!! read more

Bubba Gump's is seriously delicious. The service is so fast and every worker is willing to stop to help out. We had the 1/2 lb pick and peel garlic shrimp to start. Incredible flavor. My wife had the Bourbon Mahi Mahi. Absolutely delicious. So flakey and the Cajun seasoning was top notch. I had the Coconut Shrimp which was also delicious and fried to perfection. We finished with a traditional cookie in a skillet with ice cream. Pretty similar to a pazookie but I did think the peanuts on top were a nice added touch. Our server, Bobby Lee, was incredible. Friendly and engaging without being over the top. He told quick short jokes that could only be described as dad jokes but they landed with us. He added to the whole vibe in a great way. We'll be asking to sit in his section next time. This place is awesome and can't wait to come back. read more

Matt in the bar was great and made sure us and our baby had everything we needed, even made sure we had drinks to go!

The best part about this place sadly is their music playlist. I don't understand the hype around Bubba Gump Shrimp. Although the theme is cool and relevant to Forrest Gump, the food quality lacks freshness and flavor. When you feel like you can cook better than what's made at a restaurant, that's usually not a good sign. I tried multiple items on the menu and wasn't impressed by anything at all - this includes the Crab & Shrimp Roll and Fish and Chips. At most, the fries and garlic bread were the top highlights of the menu but this is sad to say, as these are just sides. I didn't like how my Crab & Shrimp Roll lacked butter so I ended up wasting most of the bread part due to lack of flavor. The 1/2 lb of shrimp was not bad, but I much rather go to Boiling Crab for better freshness and flavor and a better seafood boil experience. I personally wouldn't come back. read more

Located the Garden Walk district this place was packed but we seated quickly. Our waitress was served us quickly with drinks and was very knowledgeable about the menu and what was fan favorites. The decor gives "travel trinkets" if you ever been to a bubba gump shrimp then you'll understand the ambiance i'm describing. The food was really good. The pickles in the dixie pickles and chicken were a little too salty to my liking but overall everything was really good. Worth trying if you're in the area for Disney read more

Our server, David was amazing. He did everything we expected and had great service. The only low rating is because the food at the cost was just sub par. To be honest, the competition is so fierce out here you're charging me $40-$30 per plate. I could tell it's been held in the window so everything's lukewarm by the time it hits, based on the foot, I don't think I'd revisit for the cost. I'd rather go to Kings Fish House, or another local spot. they served the adults appetizers and mains before the children's orders hit the table and as a parent, we all know how that goes. This is a reflection on not the service, but the food and operational gaps. read more

Our waitress Cola was super fun and nice to us. She had a very pleasant attitude and we were very thankful for her service. The food was amazing. The only thing we did not like was the calamari, it seemed to be overcooked with no flavor at all. Ambiance was nice and not too loud, we were able to enjoy our food in a very nice environment and atmosphere read more

This was our first time eating here at Bubba Gump's Shrimp and it was sadly just ok. The food was ok my bowl of clam chowder was very small / shallow bowl with only a cup quantity inside it and not much clams. My wife had the Chicken Pasta and it was skimpy on the amount of chicken. My big shrimp cocktail was awesome though and the best part of the meal. The entertainment was fun our server did a Forest Gump questionnaire. The ambience is nice 70's music and lots on the walls to look at. The prices are a bit steep and the portions were small. I think it would of been more enjoyable and fun to just sit at the bar and look at the memorabilia. Its more like the Bubba Gump Skimp restaurant. read more
