Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.

I had a great experience at Bubba Gump Shrimp! The atmosphere is fun and full of character—just like the movie. The staff was super friendly and attentive, and the food came out fast and fresh. I highly recommend the Shrimp New Orleans and the Coconut Shrimp—both were flavorful and cooked perfectly. The Forrest Gump trivia from the waitstaff added a unique and entertaining touch. Whether you’re a fan of the movie or just love good seafood, Bubba Gump is definitely worth a visit!

Great location. Beautiful view of Broadway. We came to enjoy the food based on a recommendation, but the Forest Go and Forest Stop system doesn’t work. We waited 20 minutes for drinks and almost 45 minutes for lunch. Their customer service needs improvement.

It was an absolutely delightful experience! We ate outside on the patio and it was a gorgeous view. We didn’t wait long for anything even though it was a busy Friday evening! Our server Lyrick was incredibly attentive. The food and drinks were AMAZING. 10/10 would recommend.

Took my family here for lunch today, the hostess was such a sweet lady and also our server. We ordered the sampler as our appetizer that has queso chips, hush puppies, fried shrimp, and chicken tenders. It was good not going to lie. We also have the boiled snow crabs with shrimp, the shrimp and the sausages were good, I wish I could say the same with the snow crab but unfortunately snow crab wasn’t fresh. The shrimp Mac n cheese was bland according to my niece. However, the seafood gumbo was quite good. My nephew ordered the fried chicken (the meal) that had mashed potatoes and corn on the cob, he said the chicken was ok but the corn was bad. Overall, it was not bad nor good to me but you get to see the beach view if you were to sit outdoor.

It was a blessing to visit this Bubba Gump location on our veterans field trip!!! I enjoyed my delightful plate of chicken linguine, with a class of water, and a mango refresher. Sitting where we could see the sail boats go by and the the tourist attraction boats come and go was very pleasant. Big thank you to our server Zaria!!!!!!!

I gave it four stars because the view was beautiful, but the service is very lacking even though they have a sign on your table to flip when you need service but even when you flip the sign for help it still takes a while for them to get there. It's an overpriced restaurant with beautiful views. Great tourist spot. We ordered the clam chowder, which was about eight spoonfuls. And I think there was one clam. Also paid $30 for 1 lb of boiled shrimp which had very little flavor. The fried chicken salad was little tiny pieces of fried cold Chicken on top of a pretty good salad. The Long Island Iced Tea cocktail was delicious!

I had the BEST server! Charlie was very attentive, friendly, recommended a great drink and just overall fantastic. Thank you Charlie for a great evening! We will be back

Food was amazing , drinks were amazing. Ordered crab boil for 2 , 2 alcoholic beverages and 1 fountain drink ( should’ve been 2 , but they forgot to bring my husbands fountain drink ). Spent 130$ plus tips. So not too too bad. Crab boil had 4 small pieces of sausage 🥲😕 so if u like sausage with your boil then I suggest to stay away. Lol. Other than that again…. Food was amazing.

Food was amazing, view of the water was beautiful and our server Jade was very kind and very attentive.

Great place to cool off and grab a bite to eat when you're at the boardwalk. Came here on a Saturday and it was busy but they were able to accommodate us very quickly. Debroah was very helpful with my special needs toddler and went out of the way to make us feel accommodated.

Our waitress Britney (She has black hair) gave us great service. She was nice, informative, and she gave my family a great experience at your restaurant. We will definitely be back. Thanks Brit!

Cool location but ... Service and atmosphere (5 stars): The restaurant has perfect location right by the boardwalk and water channel. You can sit by the window or on the balcony and enjoy passing by boats. The restaurant itself is clean, well organised and decorated. It definitely has a cool vibe. The staff were nice and friendly. Our waitress Jade was super friendly and attentive. Thank you. Food and drinks: Unfortunately, food wasn't the best. We started off with fried calamari. The calamari was too small and over-fried which caused for not much seafood left after cooking except for big crumbs of butter. The other plate with shrimp coated in sweet sauce wasn't too good either and we left half of them on the plate. We didn't want to order anything else after the starter. Pricing: $$ - majority of dishes $$$ - selected dishes like lobster tail or steak

Ambiance... hostess obliged us to a booth only to find an AC duct blowing cold air on to our faces. We politely asked to be moved to a lower section table. She huffed, and said, "I can't hear you!" Loudly, to be overheard above the blaring music, I asked, "to be moved to a seat down below." She walked us over to a section completely full of dirty tables where we stood watching as the table was smeared clean. She threw the menus down and walked away. Service... our server arrived at our table holding dirty dishes, and asked if she could get us anything. Holding my tongue, I thought to myself how gross. She had the most pleasant smile and sincere service work ethic. As we ordered, I asked if the Mammas Fried Chicken was heavily battered. The server stated it was a chicken breast, very good, and thinly beer battered. So, I ordered it. My husband ordered the unsatisying frozen fried coconut shrimp, and my son had fried fish and chips. The Mammas Fried Chicken was a breast of chicken wounded flat and thinly battered on both sides that double the thin slice of chicken. The broccoli was gross, too. They were out of corn on the cob. The restroom attendant was also the hostess. After watching her clean trash cans, I thought to myself that I hope I don't get SICK. The menus that are sticky gave me a lot of visions.

The food was okay nothing special. I was expecting more because of the price though. The service was amazing and so welcoming. This place seems like a nice casual family friendly restaurant.

Delicious seafood with great theming! Vibe was casual and great views of the water. Service was also excellent. Enjoyed the fish and Chips.

Jade and Agnes were our servers and were so lovely. They were super attentive and provided excellent service as well as being so friendly! I'm not even kidding, probably two of the best servers I've ever had. The food was also really good! We got the garlic/ Cajun shrimp mix with the calamari as another app. Really good! You can't beat the views either. Right on the water but still air conditioned with this humid weather.

Good was great and the service was excellent! Jade was our server and she was fabulous! Gave a great drink recommendation and was quick and attentive. 10/10 would recommend!

JADE our waitress was so nice and sweet. made the experience better. the food was also so good!! i got the shrimp po boy. thank you chefs and JADE !!!!

A restaurant specializing in shrimp, and a Landry's flagship restaurant I expect much more.... My wife had shrimp and salmon both were so over cooked the shrimp I'm sure previously frozen were hard like eraser hard and the salmon was a square white pice of fish the only saving grace was the sauce it had on it. I had 3 pounds of crawfish at $13. Dollars a pound that's over double the price in Houston and the crawfish we're very, very small. So disappointing. Our server was fantastic and the restaurant was clean as expected for any Landry's. However the Chefs should be embarrassed to have serve over cooked food especially shrimp.. Shrimp THAT IS YOUR specialty and poor quality crawfish. The only reason I gave them a 2 star was the service was good and the beer was cold. And we like Landry's...

I visited on my trip & it was amazing and sooooo good. Loved it and my server Tracee was so sweet I will definitely be back in the future!

It's a funny business name in the center of a tourist destination. What is there to complain about? We kept it simple and ordered some shrimp and beer. It was everything I expected. We even had a spot to watch the boats go by. It's actually a fun place to visit and experience. I wasn't here to be critical of any of the food and wasnt disappointed. The beer net expectations and I got to keep the glass. Later I went home to watch forest gump. It was a magical day.

Traveling from Dallas it was definitely worth coming to! The service was great our waiter, Diego was phenomenal and the food was on point. I had the All American Cheeseburger with a side of fries, I highly recommend. The Ambiance was Amazing. Of course we are coming back, can't wait!!

Service was outstanding!! Shout out to Our server Brandon he was great! Also the food was delicious

Brandon was very helpful and an amazing server and made our experience swell. Bubba gump is an amazing restaurant very much recommend trying.

Just a sad experience. Things have definitely changed a lot in 5 years since our last time at the boardwalk. Everything tasted frozen and completely bland. Our waitress was super nice and attentive.

From the time we arrived the service was great. Our table server was Annabelle, but ALL the staff was amazing. The food itself was just as delicious as before. The feel of the place was fantastic.

The peel and shrimp was super tasty. The apps, calamari, chicken nuggets, and fried pickles were okay. I still like visiting this place for the shrimp and the great views. It's the perfect spot to view the water; watch boats and people watch people from the inside or outside seating. Pleasant and attentive wait staff.

First time here (out of town visitors ) & Jade was awesome!! Super friendly and great service! She was on top of everything for me and my family's needs

Try the Run Forest Sampler. The bacon wrapped shrimps were good and were my favorite! The adult beverage that I tried was the Lt. Dan punch! So fruity and refreshing. The staff were good and the atmosphere was of a more family vibe.

We had a phenomenal time and a fantastic shrimp and crab boil!!! Jade, our server, was a sweetheart and took excellent care of us. We will be coming back again.!

Speedy service and great service from Jade. She was speedy and was well knowledgeable with the whole menu. She was able to get our water refill ASAP. Thank you so much Jade and the chefs in the back for my amazing meal. The ambiance was amazing with a variety of music from Katy Perry to Ariana Grande, such a vibe!

Speedy service, stellar seafood, fish and chips ready 2 crunch! Jade was on it, asking if we needed anything, got refills a. s. a. p! thanks for the gr8 service! and props to the chef!

this lowkey trash but i was hungry so i ate it 4.2/10 i wouldn't recommend lowkey service was not the best they didn't come around to many times

Jade was our server beyond Amazing ! Her personality and charm made this visit great we would definitely travel back from Dallas to visit Bubba gumps for the food and great service .

Our favorite part of dining was our trivia with our server Jade. We had lunch on a weekday and the food was amazing. The view when seated outside offers a nice background of Kemah boardwalk for photos.

Amy was a great server! Smiley, knowledgeable and offered suggestions for yummy blackberry margaritas and strawberry cheesecake! Will be back!

The food wasn't the greatest. But I appreciate the amazing customer service from a waiter named Jade! She was super sweet, service was fast, food was fresh. She checked on us and also ask if we need anything else. That is what made it more better.

Yeah... the waitress was the only redeeming part of lunch today. She genuinely cared and seemed stressed at the kitchen's failure. Chowder was luke warm, my lady didn't get her lunch until after they were cleaning my dishes (I shared while we were waiting)... the manager followed up when we shared the feedback... the kitchen would need to up their game before I come back. This location has a captive audience because it's the on the Boardwalk... if they were near competitors they would be hurting.

Theme and ambiance was nice. If you like Forrest Gump you'll find the movie references to be fun and nostalgic. Service was okay. It felt fairly slow and it felt like we were forgotten at times. Food was subpar. We didn't finish it. The flavor was bland and the portion size was meager considering the hefty price. It was like 40 bucks for a tiny crab cluster and about 6 over cooked shrimp. Drinks were water down. If you can, just eat before you come to Kemah.

It's my Birthday month so Chris gave me a few choices for dinner before our cruise tomorrow. I picked Bubba Gump because of my love for seafood and my unforgettable experience at Bubba Gump in New York 6 six years ago. The restaurant was almost full at 5 pm but we were able to get a table immediately. The place was lively with all of the birthday celebrations going on. Our server was quick and very thoughtful. She checked on us a couple of times to see if there's anything we needed. We had calamari for appetizer. It was lightly battered and not greasy at all. Chris and I both had the Red Fish and Shrimp. It was delicious! The shrimps were huge and the fish was cooked perfectly. The sweet and sour taste of the pineapple pico tied the dish together.

My husband and I thought the fish and chips were fantastic! Jade provided great service as well!

Becky was provided excellent service friendly attitude and very helpful. Delicious food and beautiful view

omg BECKY look at her ... best waitress ever thank you for everything, food was good and the service was amazing. Thank you Becky

My wife and I wanted to get some crawfish in Kemah. The sign outside Bubba Gumps mentioned crawfish, so we ventured inside. To our dismay, Bubba Gumps was actually out of crawfish. They did, however, have a similar offering with shrimp: "Shrimpers net catch". We ordered half and half: garlic and Cajun. Awesome taste, will definitely order this next time! I also had a bowl of gumbo. Not much flavor and was a bit disappointing. We ordered some hush puppies, and these were the best hush puppies I have ever had. They felt a bit like taking the coating on coconut shrimp and applying it to a hush puppy. The wait staff was great. Yes, this is a bit touristy, but you get a good view of Galveston Bay with a little Forrest Gump trivia. Many different shrimp options on the menu. BG's also has a few good microbrews to offer. To top off an overall good meal, we get Landry's club points! Yes, we had a couple of bumps in the road, but do plan to return.

Service was the worst. Waited over an hour and never got any of our food. Asked the manager for help & gave him another 15 minutes & still didn't get any food. Got up & left 1 1/2 hours later. Horrible service. Looked around & noticed many tables didn't have food. Only the good waitress were taking care of their tables. HORRIBLE SERVICE

Our waitress, Jade, was great. She was very personable and attentive. The food is average, nothing out of the ordinary and overpriced. It's extremely loud in the restaurant so the ambiance is a bit uncomfortable if you actually want to have a meal where you're taking with family. Lastly, the women's restroom is horrible. Two toilets were clogged, which caused a huge line, and then there were no paper towels in either of the two dispensers.

Service was phenomenal! We had Jade & Javon and they were the dynamic duo! Came in solo with my 3 girls and we were treated like royalty. A+ service and kid friendly!

Let's get this straight: YES, this is a tourist trap. You are at the boardwalk. It is a gimmick. If you still find yourself here, it happens. Just roll with the tourist amusement of it. The service was a little slow, but nothing to be too concerned about. We ordered the garlic bread which was literally just a baguette sliced with butter and garlic. No dipping sauce. It should have come with the gumbo or salad. We also got the fried pimento cheese balls. These tasted odd. A bit off. Like maybe the oil needed to be changed. Meh. I ordered the shrimp heaven. The fries were cold. Like gross cold. But the best part was the coconut shrimp and the tempura shrimp. Next time I would just order the coconut shrimp. The sauce with it was like an orange marmalade. Yes it is a tourist trap. Yes, it is over priced. You go here for the amusement. Enjoy.

I was at kemah boardwalk and me and my family went to bubba Gump and this waiter Becky was amazing she helped my kids with there movie trailer thank you so much Becky amazing

We went to the Destin Florida location. The food was outstanding. However the best part was the service and our server was Jenny . She had such a great personality and was outstanding at taking care of us. Can't wait to go back and hopefully she will still be there the next time we take that trip.

Decor was awesome! Food was like what you would find at Long John Silvers. Not good. Shrimp was what you would find at a fast food restaurant. Pricing- way over priced for quality. Service was not bad but not good.

Jade was so nice and attentive! She entertained us with trivia while we waited. She made sure our glasses were always full. Go see Jade!!

Great place, great service. All tho the crawfish was a bit of a mess, As in not good.

Becky our waitress was great!!! excellent customer service and atmosphere was great! Food was good!

Waiting a long time in line tonight, but the food is worth is what I say. Eat cheese fries instead. Can't wait for the firework.

We had lunch on a Friday. The shrimp cocktail was beautiful, but no seasoning. The spinach artichoke dip was ok- very bland- it needed Parmesan or salt. The shrimp dinner assortment-all fried- the coconut shrimp were large & tasty. Some of the shrimp were straight in tempura and lacked seasoning & flavor: The waitress & service was very good. This place has a nice view of the bay. Overall the food was just ok.

The worst fake seafood I've ever eaten! The shrimp was minced meat shaped like shrimp and horribly seasoned. The clam chowder clearly came out of a can and the fish is similar to Long John Silver's but with less flavor. what's worse is that the restaurant is located in Kemah where fresh seafood is abundant. What a shame to sell prefab food in the seafood capital! Don't eat here if you want seafood...
