Cute souvenir cup.
Cecilia O.

We came here for lunch. The hostess in the front were very friendly. We were served quite quickly no wait. We ordered the seafood platter with potatoes, sausage, and crab legs absolutely delicious... Our server was so nice the food was tasty. The ambiance is cool very clean everyone is nice. Perfect.

Mama Blue's Fried Shrimp!
PeaJay H.

I brought my Mom here for her 90th birthday. I am such a bad son, as I failed to mention it was her birthday. Apparently they make a big deal out of birthdays here. Anyway, the vibe here is amazing! I love that they have Forrest Gump on a loop on some of the TVs while you eat. The night we came didn't have many people here, but you wouldn't know it by how the staff treated us. They were all very attentive and super polite! I am allergic to shellfish, so I ordered the Texas Chicken Sandwich while my Mom got Mama Blue's Fried Shrimp. I get full fast these days, but inhaled that entire sandwich because it was so good! And my Mom absolutely loved the shrimp. She asked why we don't have restaurants this good in Vegas! lol! I highly recommend coming here if you are a fan of seafood and Forrest Gump. Even if you have someone that is allergic to shellfish like me, there is something on the menu for them as well.

If you're familiar with the movie Forest Gump, then you love it here. It's fun atmosphere. Skyalie was our server. She did phenomenal job. She went out of her way to suggest , and recommend things on the menu . It was helpful. Check out their gift shop to.

Service was outstanding in the bar area. Mario R is top-notch. Great drinks. Great service bought us stuff before we even asked for it.

This is our favorite spot to come to when Vegas gets to be too much. This time around, we got the Dippin' Broth dish and it was delicious! Larry was also an AMAZING and attentive server. There needs to be more Larry's in this world. The Forrest Gump trivia questions don't stop coming (in a good way)! The decorations, music, and the film being played in the background makes it fun to come with family. All of the staff was friendly and we will keep coming. It's worth the hour and a half drive!

The salty apps!
Anthony S.

So I stopped in for their Happy Hour, which is actually a pretty good deal. There are several bar appetizers on the menu and a special on beer and certain drinks. I opted for the queso dip, and the popcorn shrimp. The bartender was friendly enough and service was fine. The queso dip was incredibly salty but the portion was way more than I expected for the price. But damn it was salty, and it became kind of cloying after a while, just too rich and salty. The PCS was ok but it was also salty as hell. But again the portion size was much larger than I was expecting. It also had some deep fried hot and sweet peppers in the dish as well. My blood pressure probably went up 20 points eating these dishes. But I'd probably do it again with the PCS, but doubt I would get the queso dip again. The atmosphere is nice, the bar area is a good place to have a beer or two, so overall I guess I'd recommend it if you're already in the area.

Located inside the Golden Nugget, downstairs. It can be accessed via the riverwalk or using the escalator. They offer indoor and outdoor seating (with misters) I prefer the outdoor seating. It's less crowded, quieter and offer a great view of the river. Their misters help to keep it cool. Hostess and waitress were very polite. Jill was very helpful with menu options. My fish and chips were perfectly cooked and the small potion was perfect size for a light dinner. They do offer small or large size. If you enjoy seafood, give them a try.

Some sort of pina colada and strawberry mixed drink
Shana J.

I was here on a five day trip and decided to eat here on day 3. I had the chicken tenders as the appetizer and the Cajun Crab Boil. The food was absolutely delicious. It was so good that I came back on day 4 and ate the exact same meal. My waiter was Larry on day 4 and he was the absolute best, very friendly, helpful, thoughtful and kind. He even put my bib on for me. I give this place a 10/10 if the food keeps coming out delicious and if every waiter/waitress is like Larry. Oh yeah and the drinks were great as well. I also sat on the patio outside, great view of the river and mountains.

Some healthy salmon with mashed potatoes
Jay T.

We were passing through Laughlin on a road trip and decided to stop for a meal and to enjoy a view of the river. This was a nice break in our drive and we enjoyed sitting on the covered patio very much. I suggest sitting where the patio is covered and not on the extreme edge which is not covered and the birds can have access to harass you your whole meal long. Real fun space with fire pits and views of the river in every direction. Food was good, I enjoyed my fried fish fest more than I expected and my mom sure enjoyed her grilled salmon. Server was helpful in choosing selections and seemed very attentive. Nice break on our road trip that day, would not hesitate to return.

Love the food and the establishment accommodate us after all we didn't have any reservations It was a last minute thing so thank you we enjoy the food. The kids love the food. The view of the place is amazing.

Stuffed Shrimp with broccoli and cheese bread.
Greg H.

Took a LONG WALK down the street to get to this place from our hotel. Why? We'll everything I was in Times Square I thought about going in but my deli radar won out. So we show to all the Forest Gump stuff in their little store. Started with a shrimp cocktail. Shrimp were GINORMOUS and fresh, no freezer after taste The main course were shrimp butterflies and stuffed with crab and cheese. This was great to a new level. The service was awesome and they even gave us two free Bubba Gump souvenir cups for coming in. Pricing was nothing too bad. This was a fun trip down memory lane from one of my favorite movies. THANKS FOREST THANKS!!!

I had a great dinner here inside the Golden Nugget casino. The service was fast and friendly. The food was delicious. I got a platter with fries and coconut, fried and tempura shrimp. The shrimp were delicious and I loved the sauces that came with each type of shrimp. The cola Slurpee in keepsake cup was great and the strawberry shortcake was to die for. I will definitely be back here and try to sit outside by the CO river next time (reserved for a bus tour this time). They have a big gift shop. Also, no worries if you don't like seafood, they have other items as well.

Strawberry pina colada.  Virgin
Jay W.

Nothing beats a beautiful day with tables available with a gorgeous view of the lake. The seating area outside offers just that as long as the weather cooperates. Today it did! Love this outdoor seating area. We arrived shortly before noon and the place was pretty much empty. We were seated right away with the perfect view. Server was prompt with taking our order. However, we were missing service items and it was a little tough getting what we needed delivered to us. Other than that, things were good. Fish and chips were delicious! We'd go back anytime for that along with their cole slaw. Very good and we just may return before we head north.

Reviews are mixed. Many appreciate the friendly attentive service and lively riverfront atmosphere. Most find the generous portions satisfying, though some report mixed food quality.

Do you need reservations?

No, reservations aren't required, but you can make them on Open Table.

Is there a happy hour? And if so, what time is it and what are the prices for everything that changes?

You would need to look at the menu for the particular location you are going to visit. Such as in Laughlin, NV, there are specials for Sun-Fri for food and drink, but in bar area only.

Plus, on more than one occasion Diane and I had previously arrived here around 8:30 p.m. and were warmly greeted, seated, and enjoyed our ordered meals. But this Sunday night two days after Halloween, after we had crossed the Colorado River on the Don Laughlin Bridge and had driven for half an hour from our home in Laughlin, we arrived at 8:25 p.m. only to find the restaurant dark and locked, with nobody inside. Granted this was the first day of a time change in California and Nevada from Daylight Savings Time to Standard Time. But this circumstance should have had no effect on Arizona, whose time zone remained the same as the day before. Disappointed, we went in search of another place to eat dinner, and after encountering the kitchen staff of China Panda in the restaurant's parking lot about to leave for home half an hour earlier than its posted closing hour, finally wound up at reliable Black Bear Diner. We were the only patrons seated in the entire capacious restaurant until a few other people walked inside about 15 minutes later This spooky night felt like Halloween, but the tricks and added hunger we experienced occurred just a bit later.

Every meal he prepares shows the care, consistency, and pride he takes in his work. The food is always excellent, but what really stands out is knowing there is someone in the kitchen who genuinely cares about the quality of what leaves his station. Employees like Joe can sometimes be behind the scenes and not receive the recognition they deserve, so we wanted to make sure his management knows what an asset they have. A great cook can be one of the biggest reasons guests enjoy their experience and choose to come back--and Joe is absolutely one of those people.

Not only that, He kindly visited our table, chatted and wished my Mother a happy 89th birthday. There's more, the bumbleberry jam is so Good!
