I've visited a lot of restaurants downtown long beach and Bubba Gump has by far the best service and overall fun experience. I love the trivia and the stop & run forrest run signs...

Editorial review from Citysearch 8/9/2012

We went to celebrate my daughter's birthday today, Thursday, August 9, 2012, no lines to go in, but immediately you got a sense of services not being prompt. We were given a table within minutes, waited and waited never did they come back, until 45 minutes later, we asked to please take our orders and can we have menus. Well no one told us, the menus were at the table hidden by a bucket on the table. it took them a littler over an hour to take our orders, with our drinks. The food was good, after two hours we ask for our bill of $179.00 for five adults and two children, average plate is $17.00. The gratuity was included on the bill 20%, for very bad service. I had ask for coffee, and I never got it, until we ask for the bill, I reminded her that I never got my coffee, she brought it right over with the bill. we got our food in pieces, the childs place cames last. I spoke to the Manager, he looked up our bill, and than try to explain that the gratuity is charge on the bill for 6 people or more, we were 5 adult and two children. Food is not that great to deal with terrible services. Restaurants need to understand, that with the current economic recession they will have to do a little more, and better services. The best, was the manager explained that I should have addressed him before I paid the bill, he came to our table to apoligize for the bad service, I will not returned to that restaurant. Unless new management is in charge. more

Best Service in Long Beach 10/14/2009

I've visited a lot of restaurants downtown long beach and Bubba Gump has by far the best service and overall fun experience. I love the trivia and the stop & run forrest run signs...

Run. Forrest, Run! (away) 9/8/2007

Went on a Labor Day afternoon, despite the crowds got seated at the bar area after about a 20 min. wait. Parking is a problem in this area, there is a structure for the nearby Aquarium but that gets full - I had to park at the Pike shopping center and walk 2 blocks. Bubba Gump validated but it's only for 90 minutes - between the walking, the wait to get in and the wait for the food I had to pay about $2 extra to get out. Pros: Great if you love the movie... Cons: Parking, wait to get in, slow service more

Once is enough 8/26/2007

First-time visit on 8/25/07 w/ nephews (ages 1 & 4). Pros: Kid friendly, friendly and attentive service Cons: Deceiving wait times and information on menu items, food was average at best more

Very lively environment. 7/13/2007

I must say that I've been here numerous times and finally decided to write a review. The service was friendly and environment was very young and lively. Food was sub-par, and drinks were tasteful. Pros: Great and fast service. Friendly environment. A good place for birthday dinners. Cons: Overpriced food. more

Cute theme, iffy execution 1/19/2007

I brought a friend from out of town to this spot for his birthday and the experience was hot and cold. The food was great, albeit a bit pricey (he didn't mind that part, though, because I paid). The service was confusing because our waitress didn't explain the ""Run, Forrest, Run"" and ""Stop, Forrest, Stop"" signs to us. We waited a long time for our food and it seemed like the place was virtually empty. All in all, I chalk that experience up to a bad night...but I'm tentative about returning. Pros: Cute theme, good food Cons: Subpar service more

Skip the food. Bring earplugs. Just have the Key Lime Pie. 10/26/2006

One dish was too spicey, one was too salty, one was good, but not great. The long wait and the interminable cutesyness, overpricing and overpowering noise makes this a non repeater for us. Pros: Key Lime Pie Cons: Noise, prices, crowded more

Mediocrity and a movie from 12 years ago 7/23/2006

I went to Bubba Gump for the first time and it wasn't bad. The food was pretty good but too pricey! $17 for my stuffed shrimp but you don't get that many and all you get is a side of rice and some mediocre cole slaw. no bread, nothing. the whole time i was in there i couldn't help but think that they are riding on the coat tails of a movie from the mid nineties. everywhere you look you see pictures, quotes, memoribillia etc from Forrest Gump. It was a good movie but I'm pretty much over it. It was REALLLLY hot inside and I was sweating and I noticed all the other patrons fanning themselves with their menus. Service was slow, but our waiter was very nice. The waiters come to you and quiz you on the movie. If you get all the questions right you get a balloon or something. You have to pay to park unless you can find a metered space...we valet'd. Overall, I would probably go back if I had someone paying for me. Pros: friendly wait staff, lots of Forrest Gump memoribillia (if you were obbsessed with the movie, this place is for you) Cons: very expensive, too hot inside!, too much Forrest more

User review by flyer05 7/8/2005

I have been to bubba gump shrimp co. in three different locals and have found the all very good in service and food. true the prices are a bit high but for the fun and good food you get it is well worth it. I have enjoyed our trips to dinner and have taken several friends at different time and all have had a good time. Pros: great service, good food, fun time Cons: not right on pier more

Great Restaurant! 6/21/2005

I don't know what that last review was about, but this restaurant was as close as good as the Bubba Gump's in San Francisco. The only thing is that I wished it would be on the peer too! The food is what it should be....deliciously good cajun cooking. Everyone there were very attentively nice, which is very important to me. The cost ofcourse is a bit pricey, but this is what good food cost with a nice theme ambiance costs! We only waited for 30 minutes on Father's day so you can say they are very quick getting you in. The last thing I want to add is that they also validate your parking, which is a final compliment to me. I would suggest going there and try it all and don't forget to pick up a souvenir on your way out... my son did!! Happy eating! Pros: Parking validation, Food is great!, Waiting time is short Cons: Not on the peer!, A bit pricey!, Forest shoes/case? more

awesome 3/24/2005

absolutely loved this place. The coconut shrimp were bomb as well as the lave drink more

nice theme, nice service, bad food 9/22/2004

I'm not sure Bubba or Forrest would be very proud of the recipes being served here. The main dishes were overpriced and the food was overly-greasy (and not just the fried stuff). The appetizers were okay, and the service was great (they have little signs that you can flip, ""Run Forrest Run"" if you don't want to be bothered, and ""Stop Forrest Stop"" if you need some assistance), but overall, I didn't feel I got enough value for my dollar. Nice to go once for the experience, but for good food at a good price, better to go somewhere else. Pros: service, atmosphere Cons: , value more

    With its distressed-wood bar, framed ""Gump""-isms and stellar view of the Pacific, this franchise is teaming with kitschy fun. Chock-full of movie memorabilia, framed still...
