What People Are Saying About Bubba Gump Shrimp Co

In Short – With its distressed-wood bar and framed "Gump"-isms, this franchise is teaming with kitschy fun. Chock-full of movie memorabilia, framed still images from the film line the walls while Depression-era props perch on shelves. Expect a piped-in, good-time vibe: Smiling servers quiz diners on movie trivia. Popcorn shrimp, peel-and-eat shrimp, shrimp po' boys--practically every preparation Bubba ever conceived is available in huge portions for not much money.

Food Sucks!!!
by Clay Born
I joined this forum just to write of my wretched experience today on January 14, 2012. The seafood menu was pathetic. They don't specify what fish is on the platters mostly. They just call it fish. Hushpuppies, which cost pennies to make, were only offered with a few meals. They should be free in a basket as soon as you sit at a table. Regardless, they weren't worth eating anyway. My wife's shrimp were medium 40 count at best. Imported I'm sure. Nothing in that restaurant is local. For these reasons, I ordered the 1/2 pound cheeseburger. A welfare ration of American cheese on an over sized Bubba Burger cooked on a dirty grill is all it was. I would have been better off eating fast food. It was so bad, I couldn't even finish it. To top that off, the fries were cold when they got to my table. The only thing this place has going for it, is the staff and the atmosphere. If you're wanting a real seafood experience, I would recommend Captain D's (yuck), before I recommended this place. - Clay from Charleston, South Carolina. Born and raised.

Had to discuss at great length about what it was I desired to order. It appeared the kitchen staff were unable to make what was ordered from their menu; caeser salad, salmon, side of fries. Very disturbing to have to lobby with the waitperson to get what the customer desired. 062110. 6:05 pm

FUN Forrest FUN!
by MichiZ
I have been several times and the food is delicious, the servings are generous and the service is STELLAR! My favorite entree is the Bourbon Street Mahi Mahi, delicious. I love the trivia questions about the movie. The kid's meals are super cute in those paper boats. All around great food and it's a fun place to hang out.
- Pros: Outside dining, food quality, atmosphere, menu selection

Always a good time!
by NdNs
I moved to SC from the North a couple years ago, and discovered Bubbas. I love it!!!!!!!! It is just the right way to begin or end a day in Charleston. Much more casual and relaxing than many of the restaurants downtown. I can't recall a bad experience there. The staff is friendly (as most Southerners are) and really know their stuff! Loved the "I'm Stuffed Shrimp" and their sweet tea! Very family friendly.

don't bother if you care about good food
by aladist
typical chain-like food. very disappointing with disinterested servers. Probably not a bad place to just have a quick beer but nothing more.
- Pros: family friendly
- Cons: lousy food, poor value
