I’ve been to several Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. locations over the years, including the one in Los Angeles and one in Colorado, and I’ve always had friendly experiences. During this visit, I was especially delighted that we were able to be seated even though our entire group hadn’t arrived yet. We had a hard time finding parking, but thankfully it all worked out in the end. Since we were a large group, service took a little longer than we anticipated, which we completely understood. Our server, Dean, was very friendly and attentive, which made the experience pleasant. Unfortunately, the food wasn’t quite as great as I remembered, and my dish was extremely spicy. Dean kindly took it off the bill and made sure I received something that worked better for me, and I didn’t have to pay the differen

This was our first time visiting this location, and it did not disappoint. The wait was surprisingly quick, only about 10 minutes around 7:30pm. Which was impressive for dinner hours! The time passed even faster because the scenery alone was something worth taking in and checking out while waiting. A return visit to one of our favourite restaurants was nothing short of amazing. The food was delicious and the service was equally enjoyable. Alfredo did a wonderful job taking care of our table. There was one small moment where we had asked for extra sauce that was unfortunately forgotten and never brought out, but aside from that he was incredibly attentive. Especially when it came to refills and checking in throughout our meal. Overall, it was a great experience and we’re already looking

🍤 Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. Santa Monica Pier – Crispy Fish & Chips, Forrest Gump Vibes & Route 66 End of the Trail 🎬🇺🇸 While walking along the Santa Monica Pier, we suddenly found ourselves craving classic fish & chips, and stepping into Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. felt like the perfect choice for the moment. The first thing that stands out is the design and atmosphere. The entire restaurant is fully themed around the legendary movie Forrest Gump, and it’s done in a fun, immersive way. Movie quotes, military references, framed scenes, props, and signs are everywhere. The famous Forrest Gump bench is a major attraction, and you’ll see guests lining up to take photos, adding to the lively, tourist-driven energy that fits the pier perfectly. A useful pro tip: instead of waiting for a table, we chos

We have wonderful time there. I don't know his name, but the server is really kind and nice. As we were pondering the menu, he appeared and provided a detailed explanation of the menu. It was very helpful, and we had a pleasant meal. After finishing the meal, he didn't forget to give us two cups. It seems like they give it to us when we order a specific cocktail and we were happy to receive a surprise gift. The store also offers quizzes about the Forrest Gump movie, you can participate that! Wish you have great time in there.

Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. – a great restaurant on the Santa Monica Pier. Atmospheric and nicely decorated. Very good, attentive service. Excellent shrimp served in many different ways. Prices are appropriate for the quality. A nice SMS notification system that lets you know when your table is ready. I've had a great time there! Highly recommended!
