Cons: Please don't go there on holidays...why? Too crowded...(I accepted the 30-minute wait) I had a ball of a time...Don't worry...it will be worth it...
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...

Great View and Great Meal
by tkozlow ,Mar 16 '05
Pros: The whole dining experience was great. The food and service was excellent.
Cons: During dinner time had a little wait but other than that no real cons.
My wife and I just returned from a trip from Maui,Hawaii. While in Maui we stayed at the LaHaina Royal Resort. We liked the atmosphere and the food so much at Bubba Gumps that we ended up eating there twice during our 6 night stay. The food was fantastic, the help even better and the view of the ocean was great. We would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who visits the island.

Pros: Food was delicious and the view of Times Square through the window was wonderful
Cons: Wishing there were more locations
While exploring NYC this past weekend, my husband and I noticed the Bubba Gump Shrimp Restaurant in Times Square. We were surprised how quickly we got in, they seem to be very efficient in their service. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was a lot of fun. My husband had the Bucket O Trash and I had stuffed shrimp. Neither one of us were disappointed. While not a big Forrest Gump fan, I enjoyed the trivia questions our waitress asked. The employees seem to have a lot of fun which is uncommon with most restaurant chains. My husband and I will definitely return for dinner on our next visit to NYC.

Bubba Gump Breckenridge
by srb_england ,Apr 17 '07
Pros: Great Service, wonderful food, Big Portions +++++
Cons: Not one in the UK yet !!!!!!!!!
Top marks all round, stayed in Breckenridge, Colorado for 10 days during April 07, ate in Bubba's at least 3 times, could not get my 17 + 15 year old kids to even consider anywhere else without a agreeing to going back to Bubba's as a compromise. Had one slight hiccup on the last visit when the starter was cold when delivered to the table, both the waiter and manager fell over themselves to put it right and did not stop apologising. Really nice laid back atmosphere, without losing sight that the diners are the most important part of the operation. Can’t find fault with anything that we choose from the menu, everything we had was cooked to perfection and plenty of it. We have also dined in the Bubba Gump’s restaurant in Universal Studio's Orlando a few times, this also was excellent. Well done guys keep up the good work, cant wait for one to opened in the UK

Yum!!
by pamijean ,Jul 06 '06
Pros: Good food. Fun staff and atmosphere.
Cons: Little pricy. Crowded.
A friend of mine had told me about her experience at the Bubba Gump Restaurant at the Mall of America so when we were vacationing in Dayton Beach, FL, we knew we had to try it out. It was everything she had said it would be. The food was plentiful and delicious. The staff was fun and attentive. I wish every restaurant had a "Run Forrest Run" and "Stop Forrest Stop" system. We would no sooner turn the license plate to "Stop" and there someone was wanting to know what we needed. Just amazing!

Cons: Long waiting time, only because the food is great!
My husband and I visited the Big Island of Hawaii and discovered Bubba Gump the first night we landed. We were pleasantly surprised that the food was excellent, in fact we ate there 4 out of the 6 nights we were there. We have visited New Orleans and Miami but never ate at the restaurant, we didn't know what we were missing. We now check for locations whenever we travel, because we can't wait to eat there again.
