Cons: The wait can get long near regular dining hours.

In early May, Mrs. G and I made our first visit to Monterey, California. Prior to our trip we had heard great things about the Monterey Aquarium. So we were right outside the main entrance at 886 Cannery Row when the doors opened. We had a grand time...

If you like theme restaurants, you’ll probably enjoy the Bubba Gump Shrimp Co., an international chain based on the 1994 movie Forrest Gump. I’ve eaten at the Mall of America's Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. 3 times, all at the ...

My first visit to any Bubba Gump Shrimp Market was at Mall of America with my daughter several years ago. Since then it's been an annual event, and we've had a chance to eat at a second location in Charleston, South Carolina where quite a lot of the ...

During December last year, my enterprising father decided to make a special trip down to the United States of America for a one-of-a-kind holiday, probably never to be experienced again. In the beginning, I was wondering why my parents decided to travel...

I recently had the pleasure to dine at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. at Pier 39 in San Francisco. Just one of 13 locations across the U.S.A. This is a theme restaurant based on the movie 'Forrest Gump'. There is Forrest Gump memorabilia scattered around and the...

It's your first time in SF and you're doing the tourist thing. You're hungry and you're stuck in Fisherman's Wharf looking for some good 'eats.' You walk around the Wharf's outdoor mini mall and see that there are loads of restaurants but none with a...

Cons: not more locations

When I went to Chicago for a visit with two friends of mine, one of the stops we intended to make was to Bubba Gump Shrimp Restaurant and Market. Though we passed the restaurant the day before when we spent the afternoon at Navy Pier, we saved this ...

Cons: Very rich food

Ok, Bubba Gumps in LaHaina, on the island of Maui in Hawaii is not where you get an authentic Hawaiian feeling. But after seeing our umpteenth Hawaiian-type show, our visit to Bubba Gumps was a delightful change.

The restaurant is on the...

Pros: Lively ambiance and food to die for, superb view, great customer service and lots to eat or too much to eat

I challenge to go to Pier 39 without going to or dropping by Bubba Gumps'. If you are a tourist in San Francisco, you must ask your hotel manager or anybody for that matter about this place. Bubba Gumps' is located right on Pier 39. It is upstairs...

Pros: Great food, Great service, Great view,.....
Cons: The seafood smell? But it IS a seafood restaurant..

After a long walk through Fisherman's Wharf, our touring family got VERY hungry. The previous days and nights, we went to restaurants where the service was not tourist friendly and the food not great. So, not expecting much, we went to Bubba Gump's...

Pros: great food, great service, fun
Cons: a little pricey (but well worth it)

Although this restaurant is in the San Fransisco listing, I still had to write about it. I went to the chain of this restaurant at Navy Pier in Chicago, Illinois, and just fell in love with it, I just had to write a review about it.
