Wonderful memories

by luey46

It's been so long since I've been there, but I'm a huge fan of the Forrest Gump

movie, so I was in 7th heaven! I don't remember what I ate, but we had to wait

very long for our food. I didn't mind, as I was looking at the memorabilia, and

the view was just fantastic! I would go back there again, just for those two

reasons.

fun place

by cyrinthia22

Being a big fan of Forrest Gump, I just had to come here. Surprisingly enough, I didn't have shrimp. hehe. But I did steal some bites from my party's plates. It tasted pretty good too. I had cajun fried chicken and mashed potatoes, which were great. Our server was very attentive even when the whole place was very crowded. Overall, it was great experience. You guys from the LA area will be happy to know that there is a Bubba Gump's open at the Universal CityWalk. I know I am .

• Pros: all round good experience
• Cons: can get very busy

Be prepared to wait!

by dmenkes

I only come here on weeknights anymore as the last time we tried coming here on a Saturday night, we were told the wait was almost 3 hours. I'm sorry, but that's insane. When I do eat here, however I like their shrimp dishes. I'd like to come back to try their crab dishes.

Just OK, not fabulous

by dianakat3

You'll definitely come here for the movie stuff, not the food. It's only OK, and pretty overpriced, I thought. Our server messed up our order, and the people across from us, and they weren't even that busy. The view is good, though, if you sit near the back. You can see Alcatraz and the ocean and some pelicans and stuff, too.

• Pros: kinda fun once
• Cons: service wasn't good for a slow time of day

Go for the experience not the food

by christina94109

Go to Bubba Gump for the experience and with a large group of friends - you'll have fun. The food is like other major chains - it's average and overpriced. It tends to be very busy so expect a long wait. Our server was excellent even though our large group had a bit too much alcohol.

• Pros: Good for groups, Atmosphere
• Cons: Food, Long wait

Very good!

by sourapples1

I went to the one in San Fran in 1997 and had an item from the childrens menu (since I was 11), although I can't remember exactly what it was - shrimp? haha, but it was very good and my parents enjoyed thier meal as well. Then my mom had her picture taken with the Forest Gump look a-like. Overall it was a great place to eat and the waiter was very nice.

the best

by blondie30

My family and I ate at the bbbba gump resturante in chicago and the food was wonderful, and above all we were greeted with the best service that I have ever had in any resturant. I can say even when we have been too fancy high class dining this still beats them all. The gentleman who serves us was above all very polite and ontop of his job. His name is Charles.

• Pros: curtious, polite, up beat

This "Forrest Gump" theme restaurant serves up shrimp and movie memorabilia at Pier 39.

In Short
Located in the heart of San Francisco's most-visited tourist attraction, Pier 39, this seafood restaurant pays homage to Hollywood blockbuster "Forrest Gump." The dining room is decorated with script pages, storyboards, costumes, still photos and other memorabilia from the famous movie. The menu focuses on seafood prepared Southern style, often fried or sauteed with sugar and butter. Entrees include popcorn shrimp, garlic shrimp, Alaskan king crab legs and a wide selection of fish.

Awesome

by atethere2times

I ate there twice and loved it. The food was fabulous and I felt like I got a good sized portion for the price. The view was spectacular and we have a picture of our group that our waitress took for us. The service was great. It was an all around wonderful dining experience.

• Pros: Great food, Awesome view, Everything
• Cons: none

Bubba should find a new profession.

by deanmartin18

My first thought upon arriving at Bubba Gump was shrimp po'boy. I thought for a place that is right by the ocean the seafood must be spectacular. I must say that this chain doesn't even have it right. The bread should be a nice hard roll vs. a soft roll. Fries heavily salted, heard of hypertension. For the price I didn't have that much shrimp, there was more bread and fries than shrimp. For about the same price I could of gone to Cheesecake Factory. I wouldn't recommend this place to any of my friends

• Pros: friendly, personable
• Cons: horrible food, over-priced, decor
