Excellent service by Diana and much thanks to the management. They really made my party feel special. The mood here is vibrant energy and fun. Like, all who come to this establishment are important. We certainly had a great time. Food, good but not great. The gumbo was over salted and so was the crab boil. The hush puppies were so yummy with the provided remoulaude. Whoever put in the Cajun seasoning was heavy handed. I let them know but the rest of my party was pretty hungry so I let them have it. They thought it was salty also but they just asked for regular drawn butter to try to eke out the salt. For dessert we got key lime pie and strawberry shortcake. Key lime needs more key lime. The strawberry shortcake would be better if the cake wasn't so sweet. Their desserts need balance. Located in Universal CityWalk. After 6 is free parking. read more

Queso dip 10/10 Good cheese and I liked the tomatoes and everything in it. The tortilla chips were also good! Caesar salad 8/10 Huge salad! There was tons of dressing, which made the lettuce get wilted really fast. I'm stuffed shrimp 8/10 Not too bad. Crab mixture was good. I felt the shrimp was a little overcooked and I didn't like the crust on the bottom. The white rice was actually 10/10 fantastic Shrimp scampi pasta 8/10 Not as good as last time. This time the pasta was a little bit more dry. There wasn't really any extra sauce at all to dip the garlic bread in. And the shrimp was just a little overcooked. Lt Dan drunken shrimp 10/10 Had to get this again it was so good the last time! 12oz boneless Ribeye 10/10 Seasoned really great, and cooked perfectly. It was a really good steak. Mashed potatoes needed some butter. Broccoli was steamed good. read more

I had dinner here with a few colleagues while wrapping up a work trip. We were seated quickly and our drink orders were taken. I was excited to try a new boba lemonade they had on the menu. It also came in a very adorable reusable cup so even better and justifying the price (I knew I wouldn't be getting a refill lol). The boba lemonade was delicious. I almost always order the fried shrimp when I come here, but in the spirit of eating a bit cleaner this day, I ordered the salmon and shrimp with a side of broccoli and white rice. My meal was tasty but I would probably go back to my po' boy fried shrimp order per usual lol read more

Been a while since experiencing Bubba Gumps. Busy and vibrant. The staff were fantastic and fun. The food was just OK. The Lt. Dan's Drunken shrimp special looked great, but somehow was missing flavor and was actually a bit cold. The jambalaya was hearty and good. The wine selection seems a bit of an afterthought but it is a more "casual" place. The service is what really stood out here. read more

One of our fav spots to grab a drink and appetizer at CityWalk!!! We love to sit at the bar after a fun Universal park day and enjoy a drink and share an appetizer. We tend to get the Run Across America Sampler which is Fried Shrimp, Seafood Hush Pups, Chicken Tenders, Queso Dip, Tortilla Chips, and a few Dipping Sauces. The bartenders are always super nice and friendly and the atmosphere is so fun with all of the Forrest Gump items around the restaurant. read more

So glad we were able to stop at this location when we were at Universal City Walk. It wasn't busy they were able to seat us down. The waiter recommended the stuff shrimp and yes there's crab. Hubby got that and he said he would go back and order that again I got the new orlean and replace the rice for pasta. It was delicious. Can't wait for our trip back when we visit Florida again. So sad that the Hawaii location closed down. The located is located at city walk. The place is clean and there's lots of table. The customer services is great. We will be back again. Maybe in another location or bring it back to Honolulu. read more

Still one of my favorite places just because of the movie. Bubba Gump is a great place to sit down and eat your fill! The whole place is decorated in Forest Gump theme. Heavy ties to the movie. The food itself is great. Well seasoned and cook. I got the stuffed shrimp. Full of flavor with a mix of shrimp and crab stuffing. Service is always fun here as they also play into the movie theme. They ask questions about the movie to test your knowledge of it. read more

My husband and myself had another enjoyable meal here and our server Chris did a great job answering questions we had about spice levels for the foods we were going to order, making sure we had the drinks and food came on a timely manner. We loved the movie themed decor around us and we remembered some of the scenes from the movie because of the decor. Our food was delicious and filling. We will return again! read more

The bang bang shrimp was fantastic! Just enough spice and sweetness (I do recommend it with ranch). The stuffed shrimp was very flavorful and good (just the rice portion was super skimpy, they do need to do better bc even my pic looks small, and it was). Prices were average for this around average of $20-30 pp. We loved that the kids menu comes with carrots/celery or side salad (healthy options). Our waitress was great! The decor is so cute! Everything screams Forrest Gump and we had a lil trivia from our waitress at the end. Love it! read more

This is a great option if you need somewhere to rest and refuel after a busy day in the parks. We stopped in here after such a day, and it felt great to sit down in a cheerful, nostalgic atmosphere with good food! I got the shrimp po boy and our waitress suggested I toss the shrimp in bang bang sauce and do coleslaw instead of lettuce. Done! It was delicious, though the bread was a mess. The sandwich was falling apart but I didn't mind. My husband got their cheeseburger, the kids got pizza and macaroni. Standard stuff, everyone liked it. I like the option to flip the table's license plate to "stop forest stop" if you need to get your waiters attention. It seemed like anyone who saw it stopped to attend even if it wasn't their table when they saw it. read more

Excellent restaurant. We have been to the NYC location, and it was almost identical to the experience. The waitress asked some questions about the Forest Gump movie while we ate. This place has a theme based on Tom Hanks' movie "Forest Gump"; it has been so long since I saw the movie. They have nice selection of fresh seafood and even I ordered steak there, it was cooked to perfection. We got seated right away, after showing I had a VIP seating pass from the resort we were staying at, so no complaint there. That pass also gives us free chicken nuggets. We ordered fish & chips and another steak-and-shrimp dinner. I would definitely return if I revisit Universal CityWalk. I recommend this place if you have never been to a Bubba Gump Shrimp restaurant. read more

Came here during our visit to the theme parks. The menu was actually a pretty decent variety of items. I ordered the Mahi & shrimp plate but found it very bland and lacking in flavor. Definitely was missing something. The kids burger was a veryyy thin patty, and tastes like Burger King. Now, I like BK, but I expected more from a place charging these prices. Hubby liked his food which was the salmon. My daughter did. It care for her Jambalaya. Don't bother ordering the garlic toast appetizer. Way overpriced for what you're getting. The only saving factor was the dessert. The chocolate chip skillet cookie was delicious. Service was good, and I loveddd this thing they have where you flip a sign from green to red when you need something. I flipped that sign and someone INSTANTLY came to help. They also all work as a team, so you can ask any server you see for help. Theming was adorable. Not fancy at all, but extremely Forest Gumo themed. Cute. Prices were exorbitant. Slightly more expensive than both Hard Rock and NBC Grill. Small portions. I would not go out of my way to return. read more

With my childhood memory loving the coconut shrimp, I've been craving for coming back. Unfortunately the Coconut Shrimp here wasn't as good as I remembered. The flavor was there but it wasn't crispy and the better fell of the shrimp right away. The Gumbo was the winner of the night, on point. The sampler was okay, American classic journey. read more

I am pretty sure this location is just better than the one in City Walk Hollywood. I do NOT remember the food being this good. We went just before the park closed, so there was a line, but we were seated exactly during the timeframe given to us. Our waitress gave us a fun quiz about Forrest Gump, and then gave us a free dessert for our anniversary. Like I said, I don't remember Bubba Gump being this flavorful in California. read more

I can't believe I'm giving this five stars, but I am! This meal was surprisingly good and unique! The Mahi was cooked to perfection. The texture was great. Overall the portion was actually a good size. Not featured, but I ordered the New Orleans sauce that usually comes on top of the meal, on the side, and I ended up ordering several sides of the sauce it was so good lol. There's a slight sweetness to it, but it's also a little buttery and in general brings the entire dish together. Our server, though I can't remember her name was pretty good. She was kind enough to bring me different sauces to try with my meal to figure out which one I liked most and she was very knowledgeable about the menu. Not pictured, but the calamari was also really good! It was pretty clean at this location. No wait time to get in. I enjoyed my experience and do recommend if you're on the City Walk. read more

If I could rate 3.5 stars I would. We came here after a long day of fun at Universal. Given that it isn't a busy season, we didn't have a wait for a table of 5. Seats are pretty spacious and had good selection of food for it being a chain restaurant. Our servers Erica and one who I didn't catch the name of, were phenomenal. They knew when we needed drinks refilled and came by just the right amount of times for us to feel taken care of. Now, for the reason of my star deduction: the food. I was not able to capture photos of everyone's food but I will recap. For the table we got Calamari, friend 1 got Shrimp Mac n Cheese and Broccoli and a Long Island Cocktail, friend 2 got the Stuffed Shrimp, friend 3&4 got the Ribeye and Shrimp, and lastly I got the Jambalaya. Friend one mentioned that the Mac n Cheese was phenomenal. Our server mentioned it was made fresh in house with is great. Broccoli was also well cooked although very inconsistent and not cut up very well. The Long Island was more sour mix than the alcohol. Not necessarily a bad thing if you like your drinks that way but definitely was not strong. Friend two also liked her food. The shrimp was stuffed with crab meat and topped with lobster butter. It came with 6 pieces and was filling. Friend 3&4 had issues with their steaks. They ordered it medium rare but got it medium well. Management was very quick to rectify the situation so it was resolved and they enjoyed their meal. I will notate that the steak was thin. So don't expect steakhouse level steak. For my Jambalaya, flavor was good. Had the right amount of kick. My critique was I asked for the shrimp on the side as I can't eat many shellfish - which was done HOWEVER, they omitted the ham and the sausage from my meal. I also let the waitress know which she also rectified. Overall, an okay experience. If I'm around universal and hungry for shrimp I would give them another shot, but definitely take these reviews with a grain of salt because they are located in Citywalk where they get their traffic from tourists. read more

First off, the food was great, the service was terrible. We ordered 1 lb of shrimp + potatoes + corn. They brought the shrimp, and forgot corn and potatoes, by the time they finally brought them 20 minutes later we were finished eating the shrimp. We also ordered a dragonfruit drink that did not come until another 20 minutes later after we finished the shrimp, corn and potatoes and we were ready to leave. Dragonfruit drink was non alcoholic but still the same price as the alcoholic drinks, why? I got a beach themed margarita and it was not good, didn't drink it and wasted 15$ read more

Beware vegans and vegetarians of this place! I would normally not eat at a seafood place like this, but we were with a group of friends and they all like seafood, so I was hoping they would have something on the menu that I could eat. When the waiter said they could do something off the menu, I was hopeful. I ordered the veggie pasta he recommended with a side salad. Well, the pasta was very al dente - I would say undercooked. And the broccoli that they had thrown in was almost raw and in big chunks. I had a hard time trying to make smaller pieces with the dull knife they had provided. The only other ingredient was bell pepper, they were okay but the chunks too large as well. Even with a spoon it was a difficult eat and quite greasy. When the bill came it said Zoodle Shrimp Scampi - it turned out they had taken a menu item and just left the shrimp scampi out and charged me full price. When we said something about that the server got the manager and we were given $7 off the $19,99 price for that dish. They should have thought about that in the first place plus it wasn't an off the menu item after all... The salad was pretty much the worst I have had, it came with a raspberry dressing that looked toxic being overly red. My husband ordered shrimp that were lukewarm, flavor was okay he said but getting only shrimp and rice for 24 dollars he had expected a bit of a fancier dish. We were both hoarse after dinner from having to speak up loud so we could all hear each other, that's what the atmosphere is like in the place. Lots of noise. Decorations, however, were nice. Service was good apart from the issues. read more

We arrived towards the end of the evening and it was super busy! We had to wait about 15 minutes for a party of two, which isn't terrible given everything going on at city walk. Once we were seated, we were greeted promptly by our server who got our drinks started. Their on draft tap list is pretty basic and limited with only about six beers total on tap. They do have a selection of crafted cocktails as well as bottled beers available. We had an order of the appetizer sampler which included the spinach dip, hush puppies, fried shrimp, and chicken strips. The food was OK. I opted for the shrimps heaven that included fried shrimp, coconut shrimp, and tempura shrimp. I love tempura shrimp, but was disappointed in this as it is 100% almost all batter versus the actual shrimp. The coconut shrimp was tasty, but the fried part kept falling off of the shrimp. The fries definitely tasted old like they've been sitting there for a while. While the food was average for us, we did have a great server. When she came back to check in on us later on, she actually stopped and chatted and asked us a series of questions about the movie, Forrest Gump. We thought it was a great way to have a connection with your guests! . read more

We love going to Bubba Gumps. Our favorite one is in Monterey California. Three years ago we moved to Florida and found out there was a Bubba Gumps in Orlando, but chose not to go because of parking fees. The Orlando location is located at Universal Studios City Walk. You have to pay for parking just to go to City Walk. Which means if you want to visit Bubba Gumps you will pay over $30 to park before you order a drink or shrimp. Three years we finally decided to go because parking is FREE after 6 pm. This was our 21st Anniversary and we wanted to go to Bubbas. May I say this may be one of thee BEST first visits we have ever had. In the middle of a Florida downpour...we got in and seated in around 5 minutes. Our appetizer came out between 5-10 minutes and our main course just as fast and was fresh and plenty warm and delicious. Our service was just as amazing. They work in teams and the two bartenders worked amazingly together. This was an amazing experience and I am sure my wife and I will visit this Bubba Gumps again. The restaurant had great decor from the movie. Pictures, quotes and even playing the movie while you eat. The staff all wearing Bubba Gump clothing. If you like what they are wearing make sure to stop by their store to pick up a shirt, hat or something else celebrating the movie Forrest Gump. read more

Love to go to Bubba Gump when I'm near one. Not much of a wait at all, and they were able to get us a table for a wheelchair. My big kid doesn't eat seafood, so got a chicken sandwich and fries.

A good spot, made better with a Landry's Select Club Card. Landry's is a $25 a year fee that comes with a $25 gift card. It only works at a few spots in Orlando, but it has nice perks. Special seats, some discounts and my favorite: front of line access to your table, no reservation required. This restaurant has good theming, great servers and an amazing idea - "I need service signs." If you need water, food or whatever you can flip an on table sign from "Run Forrest Run" to "Stop Forrest Stop" and your waiter or waitress will come over: read more
