About this restaurant

  • Kid-friendly
  • Good for groups
  • Lively
Capturing the magic that made "Forrest Gump" an American classic, Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. serves scratch-made, southern-style comfort dishes plucked straight off the silver screen – we’re talking sautéed shrimp, fried shrimp, coconut shrimp, shrimp scampi...(shall we go on?), alongside award-winning baby back ribs, burgers, salads and more in a fun and energetic atmosphere.

    Un restaurant américain typique à Times Square. Tout y est : la nourriture, l’ambiance et les jeunes serveurs aux petits soins.

    Carino di certo ci si va per per l’esperienza e il fascino di Forrest gump più che per il cibo. Abbiamo avuto un tavolo top con vista time square ma il servizio un po frettoloso per poi dare spazio ai proasimi. C’era ovviamente tantissima gente ma ce lo aspettavamo come ovunque.

    No free refills on lemonade for my son. This would have been nice to know. Automatically charged us/brought us large beers even though we didn’t ask for the large size (which were of course very expensive). Other than that, the food was decent and we were seated immediately with a nice view of Times Square. The atmosphere was good.

    Service staff were friendly and kind. Food was quite good. They were busy and did not manage reservations well so we had to wait a while even though we had reservations. It is a popular place in a popular location so expect it to be busy at common meal times and don’t expect reservations to matter much.

    Prenotato per 8 persone, super accoglienza, tutti professionali e cortesi, cameriere veramente top!! Io non mangio ne’ aglio né cipolla, mi hanno preparato una bistecca alla griglia, non credevo di mangiare così bene in una catena commerciale, ottima carne, tenera, cotta alla perfezione con un semplice contorno di riso bianco (ma anche questo cotto al punto giusto). Bravi tutti!

    We couldn't even get into the entrance; it was packed with people queuing, both with and without reservations. Unacceptable. We had to leave.

    Our server Dre was excellent. Very accommodating and friendly, and professional. Although the food took a longer time to come than anticipated. My reservation was at 6:30pm, we were not seated until 6:53pm. Had Broadway Tkts for 8:00pm. Had to eat fast . Food wasn't Hot... Don't go during Spring Break if you are Pressed for time...
