The service was friendly and informative, and the ambiance was pleasant and welcoming. We ordered the fish and chips, but unfortunately the fish was very oily and had a strong oil taste, making it feel quite heavy. It wasn't my favorite. The clam chowder tasted better, but it was very runny instead of rich and creamy. The highlight of the meal was definitely the shrimp with garlic bread, which was delicious. Overall, the visit was okay, but it didn't leave a lasting impression. I don't think I'll be coming back. read more

Bubba Gump Shrimp Co has been around for many years, and based on the movie "Forrest Gump," with Tom Hanks. Edmonton's location is at West Edmonton Mall, North America's largest mall. Shrimp is the star seafood of the restaurant, but the menu includes many more foods: fish, (including salmon and fish & chips), calamari, jambalaya: from the farm (steak, chicken and ribs); salads and soups, deserts and a full drink menu. I had the New Orleans shrimp - a generous portion of grilled seasoned shrimps and rice, spicy sauce and diced veggies. It was so delicious, and the spicy sauce added great flavour to the dish!! Decoration of the restaurant I what you think: pictures, license plates, memorabilia, and a whole bunch of stuff seen in the movie "Forrest Gump." The movie was also played on one the many television sets in the restaurant. Service was very good, professional, and attentive, making the experience very good. So if you love shrimp, seafood, and "Forrest Gump," the Bubba Gump Shrimp Co restaurant is a good place to try or return. read more

It was my first time at this location. My friend brought me here because she knows we don't have it in BC. I was excited to order Shrimp Shack Mac n Cheese, however, it didn't taste similar to the mac n cheese I had in Vegas. It was a great experience though. Loved their mango bubble tea (if that's what you call it). Service was good. Genea was very friendly. Love the ambience. It wasn't as busy when we went. read more

Thea was a fantastic server. Love her energy! Food was great and quick and the drink selection was really good and inventive. Thanks for telling us about the secret menu!!! read more

Great atmosphere, my waitress was funny and really helped my with trivia questions lol I had a great experience.

I initially gave this a better review but I recently visited and the experience wasn't great. A friend was visiting from out of town so was curious to check this place out as he's never been. We went at around 2 on a weekday so we were practically the only ones there. The service was not great. It was very slow and the waitress didn't check on us till the very end. Took 15 mins for the bill to come after having to track someone down for it. I asked for the remoulade sauce (which they had been out of for a while). I asked the one girl what else they had and she said just ranch or tartar. When someone else came to our table they claimed they only had tartar. It didn't seem like anyone knew what they were doing. The food was not as great as I remembered. My friend was underwhelmed by his meal and wished we had gone somewhere else. Definitely won't be coming back here anymore. read more

I have never been to this place before. It wasn't very busy when we went there. You may find yourself surrounded by "Forrest Gump" pictures, and I noticed the movie was on one of the TVs at the bar. The place is big and seems to be a touristy place. The service was pretty good and I found the staff polite and helpful. The food was good and delicious but be careful! I don't think the food is suitable for calorie counters! It seems the price was a little more expensive compare to other places I usually go for seafood. Overall it was a good experience and if I go crazy and crave 5000 calories, I may go back there again. read more

I am surprised with how awful our experience was. We arrived at 5:48 pm on Saturday and were seated promptly. By the time 6 pm rolled around, nobody had come to our table. We decided we'd give them until 6:10 before we left. at 6:05 a fairly large table was sat on the other side of the table. I decided to keep an eye on them and see if their server went to their table. They did - almost immediately. While we still sat there with our menus and nothing else. Our server finally came over to take our drink order at 6:09 (20 full minutes after getting to our table) - she was friendly enough but really had zero personality and seemed unaware that we had waited so long, although I had seen her walking around in the restaurant while we waited. We placed all our orders. I got the chicken sandwich with no onions, bf got the fried chicken meal, and the teenager got the half rack of ribs. The 2 stars are for the chicken sandwhich and the ribs, which were fine. oh! and we got a cup of clam chowder which was pretty tasty. The main issues were with the corn on the cob that comes with the fried chicken meal. As soon as the plate was placed on the table, my boyfriend asked if he could have new corn. I've included a picture to show the weird mushy brown corn that he was given. She said ok and went back to the kitchen. She didn't ask what was wrong, or offer any apologies. It took quite a while for the replacement corn to arrive. When our server brought it back, she said "here's some more corn for you" and left the bad corn on the table (we had removed it from his plate and put it on one of the side plates that we were given for some reason). the new corn didn't have the same mushy brown spots, but he only had 2 bites of it. It was cold and hard and unappetizing overall. The server checked on us once, when she brought the replacement corn, but not again after that. I did try to get the attention of the gentleman walking around in the button up shirt, because he appeared to be an authority figure, but I couldn't flag him down. By the time we got the bill, we just wanted to get out of there. Prices are definitely not in line with what you get. I wanted a drink, but the drink prices were really outrageous, so I stuck with a pop. I have no desire to return. read more

I'm a big fan of Bubba Gump and it's one of my favorite dining locations when I'm traveling. The crowds and lines here were insane when it first opened, so I finally was able to check it out for a weekday lunch this summer. Based on the experiences of other Yelpers, I didn't have high expectations but I actually had a pretty good experience. A major reason to go to Bubba Gump is to enjoy the theming and have fun. Our service was solid and it's entertaining to sit on the edge of the mall to watch people go by. The menu here is shorter than some of the coastal Bubba Gump locations I have been to (Florida, San Francisco), but the main dishes are there. We got Shrimpers Heaven and Shrimp New Orleans and both were tasty and filling. The prices are a touch high, but we got a lot of shrimp and were stuffed by the end of the meal. They have lots of interesting mixed drinks, and I appreciated my margarita for not being too sugary. Bubba Gump isn't fine dining; it's good food but not totally outstanding. I wouldn't say this is my favorite place to dine in WEM, but it's totally worth checking out. read more

I've been wanting to go ever since it opened in this location. I have stopped and looked at the menu and taken my picture with the big shrimp that stands out front so I may have built up my expectations for too long. I finally got here over the weekend. We were seated quickly and the service was ok. My party had the seafood trio, fried chicken, and fish and chips as well as the happy hour Mac n cheese. The fried chicken was really good. Seafood trio was fine. Fish n chips person wouldn't order that again. The Mac n cheese was delicious. A few of us ordered coffee and I feel a tad bad writing this because we were told they made a fresh pot... It was undrinkable and one of my party drinks coffee no matter how strong or what time of day, she is hardcore and couldn't do it. They don't have cream or milk, only International Delight. The drinks are Very Expensive, one of us had a beer that was $16/pint. The place is big, the music is great - zydeco. Booths are comfy. The decor is awesome. I think you go here for the Bubba Gump experience and one does get that from the decor and menu but more could be done to get people to choose to return. read more

My brother and I were shopping around West Edmonton Mall and got hungry. Neither of us had been to this location before so we figured we would try it out. When it first opened however long ago I heard many reviews on how awful it was, so I looked up the current reviews and they were all awesome so I figured why not? We went in around lunchtime on a Friday, there were a couple other tables and we had a friendly gentleman serving us. The menu looked promising and we were eager to try it out. I really thought the rest of our visit would go smoothly as it was not busy and our server was great; however, although the restaurant was next to empty, we waited over half an hour for our dishes to come out and when they finally came, they were all cold or lukewarm (clam chowder soup, coconut shrimp and the shrimp mac and cheese). We were starving at this point so we didn't say anything and tried to enjoy our cold food. When I went in for my second spoon of the mac and cheese, I noticed a hair had been baked into it. I would've liked to have gotten something else but our server was nowhere to be found. After my brother ate his soup and shrimp, I ended up eating our shared calamari to myself because I was so hungry. Our server finally checked back in after we seemed to be done our meal and before I could get a word in, our empty dishes were gone and I was still stuck with this hairy Mac and cheese. After another 10 minutes of waiting he was back again to see if we wanted our cheque, at which point I was finally able to inform him of the hair in my dish. He apologized for it, offered a replacement dish but I just wanted to get the h*ll out of there. He went to grab our bill, another 10 minute wait (in an empty restaurant). Overall, I'm disappointed but not surprised about my experience at this restaurant. I would not come back to this location, the feel and look of the restaurant is awesome but the experience was absolutely awful and does not measure up to the American locations I have visited before. The food was okay, it was cold and definitely overpriced. My brother's shrimp dish was $27 and there was only about $8 worth of shrimp in it. I wish there was a 0 star option! read more

I just want to say both myself and my granddaughter were very dissatisfied with the meals we received. We ordered calmari, which unfortunately you could not even tell what it was, it was very over cooked. We also had the shrimp poorboy and the fish and chips. Both we deep fried so crispy that it was hard to eat, as well the fries had so much seasoning salt on them that they also were not enjoyable. I am at fault as well, because I should have returned the meals. Will not return!! As an update, I received a notification from Bubba Gump to review on their site, which I did try initially, but their site is not working. read more

In stopping in here a handful of times I can safely say (for myself) that I have only had good experiences here. The last time was notable and props to staff member Tyler, our server. He was pretty awesome to deal with in that he has a good vibe to him. Gave us some trivia (we got 3 or 4 out of 5 right) that had some hard questions to it surprisingly and was pretty much always reachable for something (love when I don't have to sit around to just ask for the bill to leave). Other staff helped us out when we flipped the sign. Legit we flipped the sign and two staff came to help us quickly (one was in training, that's pretty slick Bubba Gump crew. For our food. Naturally I gotta order the calamari and was not disappointed with this calamari. The massive roasted red peppers thrown into the mix is always a nice touch to already big pieces of calamari. Maybe one piece was over cooked and that's not even a lie. Last visit I got the Forrest's seafood feast....Holy Lieutenant Dan man!!!! It's a really good serving of food with the decent sized shrimp and the fair size log of fish. With the fish the putter deep fried batter is crisp as crisp can seriously be, almost like breaking a fortune cookie but easier. After you break through you fork legit slides through the rest of it tell you get to the bottom (side note. Cut a bigger piece of fish for it to small it falls apart beautifully and with great moisture) then a little *snap* as it finishes cutting through. On the shrimp, they look pushed out to fry better. In doing so grab a tail, dip and let the crisp crunchy batter do its work before that moisture kicks with the shrimp taste. Hush puppies may not be anyone's thing (I don't care for corn) but I will say it's very good in that delightful ball of goodness. As for walking in and sitting down. Asked for a booth BOOM! No problem, you sir down and start looking around to truly see all the movie inspired scenery that is so fun to look at. You won't even need to be a movie fan to enjoy looking around at all the little pictures and stuff around. As for pricing when the bill came I will say that it's not overly expensive. For the location and what we got I feel it was a fair bill. I would stop on again and will stop in again and enjoy the good food... sometimes you wanna get a lil medicated and shop. Grab some seafood because life really is like a box of choco They also have the best music to listen to well your eating really nice to have read more

So we love seafood and decided to give this a go. Really disappointed. Food overpriced. Drinks WAY overpriced. My draft beer was a ridiculous 14 dollars. Some of the food was okay, but other's were not. And so we ate here twice because we were meeting friends, and after we ate we all felt unwell. Don't bother unless you are the type that likes getting soaked. read more

Restaurant empty and they still make us wait 20 minutes for a table, then another 10 after we get the call because our table hasn't been wiped down. Finally get around to ordering another 15 minutes after we sit down (to a still sticky table), and then another 20 minutes before our drinks arrive. Still waiting for our food as I decide to download yelp just to make this review. Later update: one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had, and I ended up with food poisoning to boot! As for the comment from the proprietors below? I took their suggestion. Even their feedback form sucks. I hit a character limit explaining everything that happened. Terrible restaurant. Never again. These cheap American franchises never fail to disappoint. read more

This is a franchise. I don't really enjoy franchises like this, but I eat at them anyway. I paid way too much money for frozen food that was no better than the stuff I get from any frozen aisle at the grocery story. The server showed up to take our order then disappeared. An expediter brought us our food. No water or drink refills. I had to chase down someone for the bill. I'm glad I checked this one off the list of places because you could offer me a free meal here and I would not even take that. read more

I had a good experience at Bubba Gump Shrimp. I've never been to any other location before so I was pretty interested to see what all the fuss was about - plus I love the movie. The decor is over the top Forrest Gump hoarding but take a moment to took around and take it all in because there are clues everywhere to the trivia you might be asked. And we were. Surprisingly we did very well considering it's been about ten years since I last watched the movie. The table signs to get servers attention are very smart.We just wanted a quick bite so we shared the shrimp heaven, the dips were delicious especially the jelly. I would have bought a jar of that if they had it in the shop. The shop! There is a shop next door with all the gear, tshirts, the movie on dvd and other Forest Gump branded items. It seems like it's always busy. read more

Their drinks are cool, but you don't get much of any drink you ordered anyway because they fill their cups full of ice and the cup itself is rather small on the inside. The food you order is previously frozen and overpriced ‍ There crab is overpriced and for some reason served in a bucket you get more for less and better quality at red lobsters. They do not have proper sanitary wipes to wash your hands with. They don't even have a bathroom according to my waiter. I had to go to the cineplex bathroom above to wash my hands before and after the meal which was annoying. read more

I have wanted to go here since I saw one in Cancun 6 years ago, we finally tried the one here! The concept is cool. The overall feeling and memorabilia and such is amazing, very well done. The service was great. That kind of stuff I cannot complain about! It is $$$$ though or much more than I thought it would be. I would like to go back and try something not deep fried. Don't get me wrong it was all decent but all fried. The cheese sticks are not an appie! They are huge!!! Honest after them I wasn't hungry. The Po boy was good but again deep fried. The seafood feast again good but deep fried. Am I happy I went yes. Is it alright, for sure. If you have never been it is worth a try. I am not in a rush back though read more

This place has tasty food but the price you pay is steep. We ordered enough to share as we looked at some pictures on the menu but when it came out it was so little. Note items are not shareable. Example the Shrimpers Heaven looks amazing on the picture. Overall friendly service and great food! I do want to come back again I heard it's gets really busy Saturday evenings. Make sure you make reservations. The Bubba Gump decor is very cool brings you back in time. They even have a Bubba Gump Shrimp Mascot. read more

This place is okay at best. The servers and the front of house staff seem very disconnected and uneducated on the processes of the restaurant. We went on a late afternoon where there were no crowds but we ended up having to wait 20 minutes for a table for 3 people. When we did get seated, we got sat at a table that could have accommodated a party of 5 or more. I don't get it. There were plenty of 4 tops and booths available..... this is stupid. Why should I have to yell across the table when there are only 3 of us?! I ordered the jambalaya it was creamy and had the right amount of kick. But something made me think it came out of a hamburger helper bag. My guests shared the shrimp/seafood trio thingy... they didn't seem to mind it. All in all I can't give this place anything higher than 2 stars. I hate places that just give you a bad taste in your mouth before the food is served. 2/5. read more

Wow! As someone who really enjoyed Forrest Gump, this place with its walls of Forrest photos and the Southern American decor filled me with joy as soon as I walked in! I had tried to go here during their first opening weekend but that was a no-go, which I understand! I made sure to arrive early next weekend and only had to wait an hour for a table, I am sure the wait times are not quite as bad now (I hope). Our server was an absolute delight, I'm sad that I forgot his name! He was super enthusiastic about explaining the menu to us and even quizzed us on our Forrest Gump knowledge while we waited for our food to arrive (I will be watching the movie before the next time I go, ahaha). I tried the Shrimp Net catch appetizer and the Grilled Seafood Trio where I got to sample their Bourbon street Mahi-mahi, New Orleans Shrimp and the Shrimp and Veg skewers on rice. Every single thing was delicious, including the rice! The Net catch is fairly large worth the price, but I found the seafood trio was a bit overpriced. My friend also ordered the soup and salad which was definitely overpriced as it often is in many restaurants. Overall, for me the experience was very positive and I will be returning to eat more shrimp! read more

The atmoatmosphere at Bubba Gumps was super neat and we really liked the two license plates (flip to "run Forrest run" if no service was needed, or to the other "stop Forrest stop" if you required assistance). Drinks: ordered the lava flow, however it looked nothing like the picture and did not taste good at all. When the manager came by, she agreed and said that they were having issues with the blenders, and that they are having trouble taking the American recipes and changing them into Canadian ones (this left me confused) and still on the hook for the $9.00 drink. Why serve something if it is not correct. Food: ordered the Forrest's Seafood Feast and the Shrimper's Heaven. Shrimp was over cooked, dry and not even deveined. Notified the manager and she reported that she would inform the kitchen for future orders, and that was all. No offer made to bring out new shrimp. read more

The first one in Edmonton, so we had to check it out. It was JUST like the ones we visiting in the States so this review started out as 4 stars with the food and vibe feeling right on par with our expectation. The biggest downside for us was the wait. We did read the reviews ahead of time and expected about an hour wait, the part that kind of threw us off was the hour wait and then a secondary line to go into after we handed in our buzzer...more waiting. Of course then there is the wait for food. When we did get in we noticed a huge empty section. I will say I am glad they took our phone number and we were free to wander the mall while we waited so we didn't have to stay super close and we could check on Yelp what number we were at in the wait. Since the mall was closing when we went there was no where to go but wait. They should really put in more benches around that area of the mall now that so many people are there waiting. Mind you our server was super and very lovely - kept us posted on food time and entertained us with some quotes and trivia. We love that Forest Gump is constantly playing on the tvs, our table wasn't facing one so that was a bit of a bummer but there was plenty of paraphernalia to look at and talk about. We always order shrimp here(Shrimpers Heaven to be specific), you have to get the coconut shrimp it is amazing! But this time we had a fairly big and Hungry group so we also ordered the southern fried chicken, Jenny's catch with lobster butter sauce, the Run Across America sampler platter, and one other fish dish. These other dishes were all super tasty! I would highly recommend any of them. But we definitely didn't have any leftovers from our hungry crew of 5. read more

I've eaten at a couple of these restaurants in the states (even bought souvenir shirts) and it was pretty exciting to hear they opened up an Edmonton location! I think the grand opening excitement has died down since there was no lineup when I went during lunchtime with my dad & my kids. They did ask that I park my stroller at the waiting lineup, although another family had brought theirs tableside. There's a fair amount of space inside and it's a whole Forrest Gump shrimp theme there which is great if you know & saw the movie, but if you're too young to know about it, the hype and nostalgic memorabilia would be lost on you...like my kids. At least it was pleasantly distracting. Washrooms are clean & match the restaurant theme, and high chairs & boosters are available too. I like how the kids menu doubles as a colouring page. I have no complaints about service, we had an attentive, friendly server despite not using the 'run/stop Forrest' signs at the table. Menu wise, my dad says "this is better than Red Lobster". It truly is a shrimp heavy menu which one of my kids really loves. It is a bit heavier priced than what you'd expect though. Actually I'd probably not order shrimpers heaven again because it felt like I was getting more fries in the shrimp cones than shrimp. Taste & portion wise, the serving is enough to satisfy, but there wouldn't be enough for a decent amount of leftovers. I typically order an adult meal & have the kids share it, but here... I'd say it's a better deal for each kid to order off the kids menu. They even had a mascot at the door which was a lot of fun for one of my kids and a pleasant time overall. read more

Family makes it a point to try and visit Bubba Gumps. When we heard there was one in Edmonton we just had to come for the weekend and try. We came for Friday and Saturday dinner after a day of shopping. Inside is like most Bubba Gumps with memorabilia and some tvs showing the movies. First night kids got there usual mac n cheese which were fine. I had the fish n chips which were pretty good. Wife had the scampi both nights and were excellent. 2nd night I had the fish sandwich and I really enjoyed it. Very generous portion of fish like twice the size of the bun. Fries were crispy just the way I like it. Also had the chowder and salad both pretty good. They don't seem to do trivia or do the stop or run forrest at the tables. Although if you put stop they will come. But even if you don't they still come by like in other restaurants. We definitely enjoyed ourselves and picked out a couple of souvenirs on the way out. read more

I had the pleasure of going to Bubba Gump with my family a few days ago and I was excited about visiting this place as there is a bit of a buzz in Edmonton in regards to this franchise. To my knowledge, this is the only Bubba Gump Shrimp in Canada which is pretty cool since they chose Edmonton for their first location. The restaurant is located on the 2nd floor of WEM close to Simons and London Drugs. It is a large restaurant with lots of seating and has a novelty store attached to it so you can by some typical Bubba Gump souvenirs (shirts, signs etc.) My brother-in-law reserved a table and so we didn't have to wait in line, but from the time I was there it looked to be a 5 minute wait at the most. The restaurant has lots too look at, great atmosphere and was quite clean. There were plenty of staff to meet the needs of the patrons and overlooking the menu they have a good selection besides seafood. At my table we had 3 kids under 14 and 5 adults. There was a great kids menu and activities to keep the kids busy. The menu for the adults had a good selection but I noticed that the prices were more than what I was used too. However, if the food is great then I have no arguments. When the waitress came by, she took our drink order. I asked if she recommended anything and pointed to a drink that didn't have a price attached to it. She said it was a great drink and so I took her offer. She then tried to upsale me by offering me to purchase this "cool" cup that it came in for 3 dollars. I declined which later I was thankful for. The drinks came in a timely fashion and they were good. She then took our order, but someone was celebrating a birthday and so the staff was doing their birthday cheer which then our server said she would be back because she couldn't hear what we were ordering. It was kinda funny but also kind of annoying because we were already through one of our orders when the birthday cheers started. After 5 minutes or so after the cheers, our server came and took our order. We ordered a wide range of dishes including off the kids menu and so I feel we had a good representation on what the restaurant was offering. In about 20 minutes the food came. There were some scampy's, fish and chips, shrimp appetizers and other seafood dishes. I chose to have a steak which I was excited to see how they would be able to do in this area outside of the expertise. When my steak arrived, it was a large portion, with three onion rings, mashed potatoes and a tomato on top of lettuce. The tomato on top of the lettuce really confused me. It wasn't a salad and far from adding to the meal. I am unfamiliar with this as a side but I would recommend to the franchise to drop this as it is really confusing in what its for and doesn't add anything to the dish. The rest of my plate was good. Good temperature, potatoes were great and the steak was cooked to how I liked it and was a great portion. However, the steak was tough and tasteless. And for 28.95 I would not be ordering that item again. The others around my table mentioned their plates were good. The scampi's were the favourite for those who ordered them. During the meal, our server try to "sell" a card/membership in order to get money off a meal etc. It is quite typical that these franchises do up selling but our server was very "pushy." After I declined, she then asked the rest of the adults if they would consider in signing up for the card. We all said no, but she continued to push the card on us. I said the idea is great, but to buy the card for $25 upfront doesn't make a lot of sense. She said that we would be able to redeem the $25 right away but I said I wasn't interested in anything I need to spend $25 dollars for that I won't use often. There were some perks, but more perks being stateside rather than in Canada. When I received the bill I was blown away by the cost of my drinks. The drink that was recommended to me was 20 dollars which is crazy. It has 2 oz. of alcohol and a small Corona in it which I can see being around the 10-12 dollar mark. However 20 is too much for me and I would have never ordered it if I knew the price. I was quite upset with the server in recommending me a drink and not sharing what the cost would be. And for the rest of the experience it would have been nice if we weren't being pushed to buy cards/memberships or giving in to up sells. The restaurant is okay. For those who know Forrest Gump is brings back some nostalgia but for the younger crowd they may be trying to figure out what this place is all about. I would not recommend this place after my experience. I feel the "name" is old and needs to change and that servers should be trained to carefully up sell then being over the top. Food was okay but not amazing and is not worth what you are paying for. This is a nostalgic place for those who grew up with Forres Gump. Give it a try and see for yourself - but I give it 2 stars out of 5. read more

Went here for the first time with my husband and 2 kids (5,9). We ordered the calamari as an appetizer and it was fabulous. I was craving fish so I ordered the Makers Mark glazed Salmon which was awful. The fillet was really thick and fishy tasting, the flavouring the sauce didn't compliment the salmon at all. My son had a pepperoni pizza which he devoured but I personally tasted abs thought it was soggy and soft. My daughter had macaroni which was typical boxed stuff. My husband ordered a rib meal which he enjoyed but overall the meal was underwhelming. The restaurant was cute, the service was fine and there wasn't a wait for a table or food but it was a Wednesday night! read more

We came to Bubba Gump to check out the hype. My wife and I actually visited the one in the Cancun airport first a couple years ago. We didn't just go for Bubba Hump though. I had checked out the menu beforehand and found the prices high. But then, I get you are paying for the branding and all that. You're paying for the hype. However, when we sat down and saw that draft beers were $15 we were almost outraged! But then you get to keep the BG glass. Ok, so how much of you don't want the glass? $10. So you want to charge people ten freaking dollars for Budweiser or Bud Light? That's ludicrous! So...I'm having a beer at home instead. My mother-in-law got the fish and chips, which she enjoyed. My stepson got the cheeseburger, which he enjoyed. He goes down from there. My wife got the shrimp Mac and cheese. It looked great, nice presentation but she said it tasted bland. Which was really weird for Mac and cheese unless you buy a generic brand from the grocery store. I tried a bite, and yes, it was actually really bland. Even with the shrimp. Meh. I ordered the shelled shrimp bucket. It smelled great and looked cool. However, it also was bland! Barely any flavour. I'll tell you why - so the shrimp tasted like they boiled the shrimp. Also, they over boiled them because they were pretty much like rubber. Ok, so they boiled them, put in some sauce, then gave them a toss. Here's the deal, gang, when you peel the shells off, guess what else you are taking off. Yep, all the sauce. So whatever flavour they want the shrimp to have is gone in the bucket with the shells. I can't believe I have to tell a shrimp place how to make shrimp. Oh well, we can say we tried it. The food gets one star, but I added a second star because the service was decent. I'd say go to Red Lobster instead. Or (!) there's this new place I've heard is good - The Captain's Boil. Good night! read more

My friend and I have been wanting to eat here for a while. I'm surprised at how. Oh the place is. It's pretty eclectic and the walls are really busy but it's done well. We were first seated at a table that wobbled, I asked our server if we could move and she had no problem. The server asked for our drinks and explained that when we are ready to order to flip the license plate on a stand over to red (from blue) and she would take our order. We did this and she promptly returned. My friend ordered a berry lemonade and it was so good. I had sofa water. We ordered the garlic bread for an appetizer, we didn't care for it. We shared a plate of 4 different kinds of shrimp (coconut, tempura, chilli, and deep fried). This came with 3 dipping sauces and fries. They were delicious. I must mention that our server was phenomenal. She had a wonderful personality and was funny and kind. She took care of all of us in her section. At the end of our experience she came with our bills and told us that she would give us some trivia. She really set the tone for the rest of our afternoon. We had so much fun with our server and our food was great. Such a fun lunch. I will be returning to try their huge menu. Everything looks so good. They make their own key lime pie too! read more

I've never been to a Bubba Gump Shrimp, but I was excited when I found it was coming to town. We waited until the opening crowds died down and for them to settle any new-business jitters they may have had. Unfortunately, it didn't quite live up to our expectations because we really didn't have a great dinner the night we went. It was about 9pm on a weeknight (they don't close until much later) and there was only 3 other tables seated when we arrived - so definitely not busy. The restaurant itself is a lot bigger than I expected - walking in, there's a really large bar/lounge area before you get into the main dining room. We were seated and explained that you change a license plate on your table from one colour to another to signal that you needed service. Sadly, it didn't seem to work very well because we had it changed to the "help please" colour and our server & those around her pretty much just walked by us. We didn't love the food we ordered even though it was recommended by our server. The deep fried items weren't very crispy nor hot, and the shrimp were pretty small. We also tried the mac & cheese and found it to be very bland and not overly cheesy. The biggest disappointment was the $8 side caesar. So expensive for a very small portion of soggy lettuce. Overall, if you're going to go for a chain seafood restaurant - you can find many of the same dishes at Red Lobster for similar pricing or cheaper and better quality/portion sizes. read more

I wont be back. My boyfriend and I wanted to try and had quiet a while to wait before our movie so we thought we would check it out. The wait was over an hour, which we had time to kill so that was okay. The food was the disappointment. We ordered Calamari as a starter, you could tell they were frozen as they were tough and very bland. He order a seafood platter that included Battered fish, battered Shrimp, Fries and hush puppies. It was greasy and nothing special. I had the Steak, which was served with mashed potatoes that had a film over them for sitting so long, onion rings & with a bed of lettuce and tomato? which was odd?! Anyways our bill came to 75$ with just pop to drink. Overall it was over priced and not great food. Cool Looking restaurant on the inside, but we wont be back. read more

I ordered the surf and turf steak and shrimp. The steak was shoe leather the shrimp over cooked and dry. My friend ordered the captains special it had hush puppies, fish, shrimp and chips. The fish was very light crispy best thing they had. The side homemade sauces they had were very tasty. The drink he offered was $17 it came with some cheap mug. Over all wasn't very impressed and doubt I would go back also very expensive. I do like the restaurants theme though a very old school cottage look. Made you feel right at home. read more

First time visit for here for a date night. Service was great. Our waitress was knowledgeable and very helpful when it came to ordering. Our food came out hot and fast and my mango mojito was just what the doctor ordered. Unfortunately I didn't find the quality of food all that great. I order the tilapia and spinach which came with spinach, mashed potatoes and was served with Jenny's butter lobster sauce. I'm pretty sure the mashed potatoes were probably the powdered kind. They were flavourless and had zero texture. The sauce as well is oily and had very little flavour. The fish at least was cooked well. My husband ordered a shrimp basket. It came with four different types of shrimp and fries. The fries were over cooked and dry. We both enjoyed the coconut and Cajun style shrimp but the tempura and fried shrimp were just meh. I think my husband enjoyed the dinner more then I did but in my opinion the fun atmosphere and great service did not make up for the lack lustre food. read more
