A friend and I dined here before seeing a concert at the nearby Long Beach Amphitheater. Reservations can be made on OpenTable. They will validate parking in the garage next door for two hours, which helps reduce the parking cost if you're walking to a show or the aquarium. They have a large patio in front with umbrellas covering the tables, several different dining areas inside, and a bar area. They also have a merchandise shop near the entrance. We had a few rounds of Bulleit Old Fashioneds during our meal ($14 each). They were good sized pours, and were served with a few Luxardo cherries in the glass. I had the Shrimper's Heaven (fried shrimp, coconut shrimp, tempura shrimp, fries, Cajun marmalade, tempura sauce, $28.49). I liked the variety of shrimp which were all cooked well, and none of it was oily. It was served on a large bed of fries that I couldn't finish. The sauces were also good. My friend had the Jambalaya (Shrimp, Chicken, Andouille Sausage, Tasso Ham, Bell Peppers, Onions, Steamed Rice, Tomatoes, Green Onions, $24.49). He loved his plate and there wasn't a single grain of rice left. My only gripe is that the kitchen was a little slow. It was a Saturday afternoon around 4:30pm and while the restaurant was pretty busy, it was nowhere near prime time. Our entrees took almost 30 minutes to arrive. All other aspects of service were good, and our server Lesly was very friendly. I liked that each table has a license plates that you can flip to indicate If you need something. Blue means no help requested, and red means service please. I flipped it to red towards the end of our meal to request the bill, and a server come to our table almost immediately. Overall, we had a good meal, prices were reasonable for the area, and the location was convenient for our evening plans. read more

We were seated but never served (no one came to take our order), even though what appeared to be a manager came around and asked if anyone had served us yet, and we told her no. After waiting for 20 minutes we left. read more

I rarely leave negative reviews, but I was honestly very upset with the service here. We waited forever just to place our order, and when our server finally brought water, one glass was spilled all over me and completely soaked my pants. Accidents happen, but what really bothered me was the attitude afterward. She barely apologized, showed very little concern, and even while she could clearly see me still wiping water off my pants, she only came back to ask how the food was. Then, at the end of the meal, we were given another table's bill, which was much higher than ours. If we hadn't checked carefully, we could have paid for someone else's meal. One mistake is understandable, but this was one careless mistake after another with almost no effort to make things right. Extremely disappointing experience. read more

BUBBA GUMP SHRIMP COMPANY in Long Beach, California is a peaceful restaurant by the Pacific Ocean on the exterior BUT a high energy party in side. Fast paced and friendly staff members, fun decor, a retail shop and great food! I checked in with the hostess who was standing at a little umbrella station by the entrance of the restaurant and asked if I could eat at the bar. And that was ok. I sat at the bar and was greeted by a cool bartender who was making drink orders for the waiters. He took my order which was a gin & tonic, the delicious bowl of Mama Blue's Shrimp Gumbo and some Garlic Bread to dip it in! One minute there were a few customers and the next minute it was packed in the restaurant and busy at the bar. It was amazing seeing the busyness and helpfulness of the waiters, bartenders and managers This place is and has amazing energy! read more

Won't return to this restaurant. Terrible service with overpriced food. 6 people in our party and had a reservation at 6:30PM. Arrived at 6:15PM. Many empty tables but was not seated until 7PM. We were directed to a booth seating but we preferred a table. The "manager" asked us to get up because we were at a table for 10. He may need that table. He then directed us to an outside table that seats 10! The whole time we were there, no one sat at that inside table. The service was terrible. Took a long time for drinks and food. One of our order never arrived. Won't patronize this restaurant again! read more

Service was great, and the food is pretty standard for Bubba Gump. We got shrimp and crab. We got there before the lunch rush, as it is right near the aquarium, so the afternoon gets busy. I have been to Bubba Gump in Bmore, so I always appreciate the quirky decoration. The price...well it is a tourist area, so it is higher, and it is California, so there is that. lol. Worth the meal though.. read more

I came here for a day of trot with my Dad. First time trying Bubba Gump at this place and was a bit disappointed. Food was delicious but service needs to improve, the server forgot the silverwares after the main dish arrived. I needed to stand up and ask any server that was there . No one came over to ask for refills of our iced tea and/or if we needed anything else lol It was not busy at all, we came for a late lunch or better yet Happy Hour. I liked the inside decorations and signs posted around the walls, I took some on my camera for keepsake, so cool! read more

May I just say that every time I come here to dine in I'm always blessed to have Sally as my server! She is so full of personality and and always takes such great care of us. Sally is one of the main reasons why we come back. Shrimps heaven is one of our favs along with the clam chowder!! Can't wait to come back! read more

PROS: Delicious Food, beautiful atmosphere and service was impeccable CONS: You're eating seafood so the cost is around the $25-$30 range oh and if you're parking by the Aquarium there is validation but you're still going to pay $8. Experience: Let me just ask for Alexis our server, was so quick with it! They have these signs to turn if you feel like they're not coming at all to your table and I we didn't even need to use it, not ONCE. The drinks were so affordable and delicious, I recommend getting at least one round. Don't bother getting the Dippin Broth if you're sharing as a group of 3 or more there's not enough of it, this includes the Trash Bag with Lobster. HOWEVER grab the Shrimper's Heaven!! Ugh it was so good! Oh and Shrimp and Crab rolls were a nice balance of fresh and light to counteract the heaviness of the fried foods. I'm trying the calamari and ceviche next time! OVERALL: Amazing time, and if you have a chance to come during Golden Hour then ask to be seated outside! read more

Came here for some shrimp, items we got were good, but not great. At least not for the price tag. The fried shrimp brisket was decent. The jambalaya was good, but needed hot sauce to make it better. The shrimp mac & cheese is probably our favorite and it was also considered an appetizer. Came with free drink cups, but for the price they're basically paid for them. The place is very nostalgic and takes you back in time. read more

Stopped into this location of the popular seafood restaurant for lunch on a busy Sunday in downtown Long Beach. The food was good and the service was excellent. Bubba Gump has 21 national locations and 11 international ones, with 6 in California (including the very first one in Monterey in 1996, founded soon after the release of the movie 'Forest Gump' in 1994). I think I've visited three of them (Santa Monica, Times Square, and the now-closed one in Navy Pier Chicago), but strangely never this location that I could just walk to. Traffic was just crazy in this area (typical Sunday that was exacerbated by the Vans Warped Tour happening nearby), so happy that I walked. I put down my name for one at the check-in area around noon, with a promise of 15 minute wait. Sure enough, I got a page on my phone saying it was my time at the 15 minute mark. It's a large restaurant with a lot of dining space, so pretty sure I was the first to sit at my table for the day...pretty sure they were spacing out seatings for the kitchen's sake. Cameron was our waiter, and he was really attentive and cordial. I was planning just to try their gumbo (always been meaning to), but ended up getting a main dish (available because of their 30 year anniversary celebration). The food came out hot, right after it had been plated, soon after I ordered. Mama Blue's Shrimp Gumbo ($11.99 for a bowl) was OK: presented really well, and it wasn't too dark, cooked too long like sometimes gumbo can get. But maybe it was too fresh, with the ingredients being put together right before serving. Lt. Dan's Drunken Shrimp ($29.99) was decent, and it actually looked better than the picture on the menu (which might be a first). The 7 tail-on shrimps had been cooked well, first over an open flame, then presented on top of stone-ground grits with really good onion strings and a dark bourbon sauce. It came with pieces of andouille sausage, which tasted too much like ham to me. The place was hopping on a Sunday afternoon, and the team of servers and cooks were keeping up in this well organized display. I was done well under an hour, and appreciated the thanks by Cameron and the hostess as I walked into the humid, sunny day. read more

As soon as we sat down our server, Face, was extremely warm, friendly, and quick in helping us choose our drinks and meals. Every time he came by our table he checked in on us and made sure we were doing ok. The weather was perfect today but we decided to eat inside where there was plenty of space and seating for five comfortably. Our Michelada and margarita were delicious and our shrimp, crab, chicken, pasta, hush puppies, and queso dip were amazing. Thank you Face and thank you Bubba Gump Shrimp for an epic afternoon in Long Beach. read more

The music is nice and relaxed, making it so easy to chat, and our server had the best sense of humor-such warm, funny, and incredible energy! The kitchen blew us away. Everything came out fresh, perfectly hot, and prepared with love. That burger was dripping with juiciness, and those french fries were hands-down THE BOMB-real, fresh potato flavor at its finest. Thank you for such an awesome meal and amazing hospitality! read more

Service was average. My child enjoyed her kids cheese pizza. I ordered a combo with salmon and shrimp. The butter sauce was pretty salty and some of the shrimp had the poop vein and I personally don't like that part. So it was gross. I also asked for salad instead of rice so I could gwr brocolli and salad as my side. It came with rice and they brought the salad. No brocolli. Anyway, I only come here cuz my kids like it. The atmosphere is fun. If it wasn't for my kids I wouldn't spend money here. read more

We had a great experience at Bubba Gump in downtown Long Beach. The service was outstanding from the moment we arrived--our server, IZ, was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome throughout the meal. I ordered the clam chowder and the Bam Bam Shrimp, while my wife had the fish and chips. We ordered our food with a basket of garlic bread. The Bam Bam Shrimp wasn't very spicy, but it had great flavor and was definitely worth ordering. The garlic bread was one of the highlights of the meal--buttery, perfectly seasoned, crispy on the outside, yet soft on the inside. The clam chowder had a good flavor, although I would have liked a little more clam and potato in it. Even so, it was still enjoyable. My wife really enjoyed the fish and chips as well. Overall, we had a wonderful dining experience. Outside seating was perfect for us and our baby. The weather was just perfect and a nice breeze was blowing to keep us cool. Between the excellent service and the food, we'd definitely come back the next time we're in Long Beach. read more

03.29.2026 Went here for Sunday Brunch. Was greeted by the front hostess. She stated the wait will be 10 to 15 mins before getting seated. While we waited we enjoyed the vibe of the aquarium of the pacific on aquarium way. Cars were passing around the turnstile road, cars honking l, cars with loud speaker. We observed from a far. Sat on a bench looking at Forrest Gumps decorative shoes. A prop from the movie itself. It was entertaining knowing these artifacts portrays the actual movie.p Our names were called and had the option to sit inside or outside. We chose to sit outside since it was a nice warm day in the city of Long Beach. Ordered a Michelob ultra on draft as well as Red Sangria. For our main entrees wep ordered a shrimp jambalaya soup bowl, strawberry salad and Gumbo soup. All were delivered in 15 mins. I got to say, everything was delicous! The food was made to perfection. Portion size was fair along with the price tag. I recommend this place not only for the food and Drinks but the Ambiance you experience being outside in the patio area. Interesting people and very Touristy. Unique place. I will definitely come back! Big shout out to our waiter Kaeben! He was nice and professional. He took care of us. He made our brunch enjoyable with the service he provided! Kudos.. give the man a raise. I have eaten here about 10 years ago. I dont remember this place being this good. :) Free validation parking good for 2hrs. 3 block distance from the parking garage. Parking garage gets packed! Hit and miss pending when you go. Peak times always on Friday thru Sunday. BRUNCH read more

Bubba Gump is conveniently located next to the Aquarium of the Pacific, making it an easy option if you're looking for a quick meal after your visit. We ordered the clam chowder, shrimp roll, fish and chips, shrimp scampi, and the kids lobster mac and cheese with apple sauce. Everything was decent, but nothing really stood out. It wasn't quite as good as I remembered. Overall the food was pretty average. The service could have been better. Our food arrived without utensils, so we had to flag someone down to ask for them. We were also surprised when the bill was brought out before we were even halfway through our meal, which made us feel a bit rushed. Overall, the location is convenient, but both the food and service were average at best. Make sure you arrive early because it gets packed around 12:30. read more

Hungry, not a lot of time and next to the Aquarium of the Pacific. This works. Interior definitely plays on the Forrest Gump movie. All kinds of movie memorabilia hung on the walls. Started with the calamari, good flavor, lightly battered & not greasy. Entrees were jambalaya for me - good flavor, lots of goodies in the broth. Shrimp Boil for the Mrs. Although the flavor was good there weren't many shrimp in the broth. It also included garlic toast which was surprisingly good. Service was spotty. Our server came by frequently. But we had to ask for things multiple times before they were delivered. It was midafternoon and not busy. Who knows? read more

This was our final destination after going to the Long Beach aquarium. It's conveniently right across from it. If you have never been here you should at least give it a try. Believe me you will be coming back again. The seafood is great and the servers are always full of energy. It has a nice ambiance with the music related to the movie "Forrest gump". Another thing to remember is there are two license plates on the table . If the blue plate is down, the server will pass you by but if you flip the plate to the red one, they will immediately stop and check up on you. Birthdays can be fun because the whole crew will come and sing happy birthday. Also the classic toys and eclectic memorabilia from the movie are fun to gaze at while dining. Thumbs up to this place! read more

My partner and I had such a wonderful Valentine's Day dinner at Bubba Gump LB! As Landry's members, we were seated quickly despite the long wait. Going in, we knew every restaurant was going to be extremely busy, but with our server Cam we practically didn't notice any difference. He was super friendly and attentive. We never felt like we were missing anything because he was always checking in on us and had a great attitude despite the chaos of the night. I was super impressed by his service. We sat outside and though it was cold, there were heaters that kept us warm and it was nice seeing the night sky and twinkling lights out on the patio. The food was delicious and the portions are very generous. We got the Shrimper's Heaven and Texas Cajun Chicken Sandwich and were very satisfied with the taste and quality, we really had no complaints about our whole experience. There's also a newly added photo booth at the entrance which is so fun and cute for date night. I look forward to my next visit to Bubba Gump LB. read more

Service was Amazing. The young lady that waited on us on Saturday was an extraordinary young lady. So full of happiness. We really liked her. She actually knew what was on those menus. And funny. Bubba Gumps actually still does the Forrest Gump quizzes. It was a fun battle. Not too many patrons got in on the fun but for those of us that did we were yelling answers I ordered the shrimp New Orleans and a cup of clam chowder. After that clam chowder I was actually full. Then there was my plate. My shrimps were delicious they were large shrimp which is always a plus. Didn't finished that plate but it did go home with me. Mom had the stuffed shrimp which she devoured. wouldn't share a piece. lol. Mom said she was stuffed, plus she had the clam chowder. Did I tell you about those fried pickles? I love pickles and these were good. Now the calamari, it was under cooked but they fixed that and quickly brought out a new batch cooked to perfection. We really enjoyed our Saturday Mother's Day at Bubba Gumps.and we also received Bubba Gump shaker because of the drink I order and a bubba Gump glass due to moms drink. And yessss they do validate for parking. read more

We went to bubba gump for dinner. I had been to this location once before many years ago so i was excited to see if this still held up. Since its been a few years there has been some menu changes but my goal to options were still there. The restaurant itself is pretty big and has lots of seating areas. We were able to make reservations online which i really liked and helped us skip a wait time. Although it did not look like there was many people waiting anyways. All of the staff we encountered were very nice and our waitress was very attentive. I decided to try their gumbo and jambalaya. The gumbo was good and i was surprised that had lots of seafood including crab and fish. But my favorite was the jambalaya it's always my go to and always has nice flavor with a hint of spicy ness. We also got calamari to share that was really crispy and good as well. Everyone in our party was satisfied with their orders and overall we had a wonderful time. read more
