Fast and efficient service. Jessy was extremely kind, attentive, and careful when guiding us through safe menu options for our son, who has a milk allergy — this level of care truly makes a difference for families.
The portions are generous, the food arrived quickly, and everything was absolutely delicious. An excellent experience from start to finish. A restaurant that maintains high standards and delivers exactly what it promises. We will definitely be back!

We stopped by this last weekend while on our Universal vacation. We were seated right away with our Landry’s card and greeted by the restaurant manager. The food was better and faster than I expected. I had the Alabama Pasta and my husband had the shrimp and grits. Both were delicious. Theming in the restaurant is great. It was very clean and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. Our waiter, PJ, was amazing. Very attentive, quick, friendly and conversational. He even played a round of Forrest Gump trivia with our table and our neighbors. Highly recommend. We will definitely return on our next visit to the area.

Huge shoutout to Chelsea at Bubba Gump—hands down the best server I’ve ever had. From the second I sat down, she was on it: friendly, quick, and somehow made the whole meal feel like a little event instead of just dinner. She knew the menu inside and out, checked in at the perfect times, and kept everything moving without ever feeling rushed.
I had the jambalaya, and it was fantastic—hot, flavorful, and exactly what I needed—but honestly, Chelsea’s service was the real highlight of the night. If you end up at Bubba Gump, do yourself a favor and ask for her. She made the whole experience memorable.

Our server Melanie was so nice! She made sure we well-fed and happy with our order, and very attentive even though the restaurant is packed. Would come again!

Great atmosphere, friendly service, and yummy food!
Adrien, our gastronomy guide, was attentive and fun!
The blackened shrimp app with garlic bread was savory and surprisingly spicy.
The ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender with a sweet and tangy sauce.

Had a wonderful experience when we visited about a month ago. Our favorite restaurant at the citywalk, went there twice during our visit. The food was delicious and fresh. The standout was the shrimp bucket, we had the flavors mixed and just the garlic butter, and both times they were delicious. The strawberry shortcake was an awesome dessert too, recommended by our server Taylor. She served us both times and provided wonderful services. We enjoyed chatting with her and she was very considerate to make sure we had room for desserts after our dinner before placing the order them. She also impressed us with her cup stacking, very cool

Don’t let the line scare you. If you are a Laundry Club member you can make a reservation online through their app and then whe the host asks you to come inside you can skip the regular line and go next to the laundry select line indicated on the floor sticker and head to VIP seating. Even without signing up for the club the tables turn pretty quickly so wait it out. The memorabilia throughout the restaurant with the movie theming is an immersive experience. If you are lucky enough to be able to request Doug as your server you are in for a treat. He’s a Forrest Gump expert not to mention has been here for 14 years. He is witty, fun, helpful especially when accommodating our family of 5 after a long day at the park. Doug is “the guy” who will take care of you and make sure everything goes off without a hitch while attending to whatever you might need. So go see “the guy” Doug when you stop by. Get his autograph, give him a high five, shake his hand, just let him know you “heard” about him and how “fabulous” he is. That being said for a restaurant to have an employee for 14 years means they are doing something right. Now the food! Oh my goodness the food is made fresh to order and out of this world. The crab and shrimp boil is an amazingly filling, and fun to devour not to mention messy entree. Not the first time we’ve ordered it so that means it’s worth it. Every time it’s worth it. The choice of Cajun or garlic? Well why choose ask for both flavors and you will be in for an explosion of flavor treat. Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. Universal Studios also offers either your laundry points or annual pass holder discount. We all love perks. Bubba Gump Shrimp Co Universal City Walk has a great menu. I know I’ve practically convinced you of the boil but don’t pass up some of the other items. Of course some fried pickles to start is always a fan favorite and is enough to share. It’s big tin plate filled with fried pickles and comes with some ranch for dipping. Start there. Also grab yourself a Jenny’s blonde ale like I did and enjoy a crisp cold beer on draft that is exclusive to Bubba’s and pairs well with all of the seafood. I opted for the Lt. Dan drunken shrimp and it was delicious. The shrimp were grilled and Smokey and the andouille sausage had the right kick not to mention the polenta was cooked perfectly. I mean I don’t make polenta but I loved a little comfort food when the rain storm kicked up outside. Kids meals. Let’s talk kids. Bubba Gump Shrimp Co Universal City Walk knows kids as they should. The kids meals come on an adorable paper boat and have a variety of options. From pizza to tenders there is something for every kid. Forrest Gump is an endearing movie that creates a warmth for family and acceptance and hospitality. Our Server Doug embodied all of that. The hospitality extended was great extension of the bubba Gump culture and spirit. So don’t double think it. Step on in and be in for a treat. Go see “the guy” Doug and he will take care of you. Everyone needs “a guy” the one they can depend on and Doug will make sure you have a dining experience that will be one of the most memorable of your vacation. Tell him I sent you. Cheers.

We had an amazing experience at Bubba Gump, and a huge part of that was our server, Tracey! The restaurant was incredibly busy, yet she never missed a beat. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything we needed was taken care of without us ever feeling rushed or forgotten.
What really made the experience stand out was how engaging she was; she even did Forrest Gump trivia with our table, which was such a fun and memorable touch. It’s clear she genuinely enjoys what she does, and that energy made our visit even better.
Excellent service, great attitude, and a fun personality, Tracey truly went above and beyond. We’ll definitely be back and hope to have her again!
