This was our first time visiting this location, and it did not disappoint. The wait was surprisingly quick, only about 10 minutes around 7:30pm. Which was impressive for dinner hours! The time passed even faster because the scenery alone was something worth taking in and checking out while waiting.
A return visit to one of our favourite restaurants was nothing short of amazing. The food was delicious and the service was equally enjoyable.
Alfredo did a wonderful job taking care of our table. There was one small moment where we had asked for extra sauce that was unfortunately forgotten and never brought out, but aside from that he was incredibly attentive. Especially when it came to refills and checking in throughout our meal.
Overall, it was a great experience and we’re already looking forward to coming back again.

The food was amazing with excellent service, spectacular view and awesome ambience.
Probably people who doesn’t like the flavor of the sea food might not have much of options but sea food lovers would love this incredible place. The lobster sub is the must have thing very yummy and made very well!

We visited this spot in the evening, about 30–45 minutes before closing at 10 PM, right off the Santa Monica Pier. The service was excellent the staff was very friendly without being intrusive. I loved the unique ordering system with the Forrest Gump flip sign it’s a fun touch and helps servers know when you’re ready.
The food was absolutely fabulous. We had the chicken, which was tender and flavorful, and our salad was fresh and delicious. The atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable.
We’ve also eaten at their L.A./Universal location, which was equally impressive. Overall, great service, great food, and a welcoming environment I’ll definitely be coming back!

Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. Santa Monica Pier – Crispy Fish & Chips, Forrest Gump Vibes & Route 66 End of the Trail
While walking along the Santa Monica Pier, we suddenly found ourselves craving classic fish & chips, and stepping into Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. felt like the perfect choice for the moment.
The first thing that stands out is the design and atmosphere. The entire restaurant is fully themed around the legendary movie Forrest Gump, and it’s done in a fun, immersive way. Movie quotes, military references, framed scenes, props, and signs are everywhere. The famous Forrest Gump bench is a major attraction, and you’ll see guests lining up to take photos, adding to the lively, tourist-driven energy that fits the pier perfectly.
A useful pro tip: instead of waiting for a table, we chose to sit at the bar, which turned out to be a smart move. It saved us about 30 minutes of waiting time, especially during a busy period. The bar seating was comfortable, service was quick, and it’s a great option if you’re hungry and don’t feel like standing in line while the pier is packed.
Food-wise, the fish & chips were solid and enjoyable. The fish was crispy, fresh, and served hot, paired with fries, a tasty tartar sauce on the side, and a small portion of coleslaw. Simple, comforting, and well executed — exactly what you want in this setting.
For drinks, the Skinny Margarita was light and pleasant, not overly sweet, while the club soda with lime was refreshing and clean, especially after walking by the ocean.
The place was busy but well managed, the restrooms were clean, and there’s also a large souvenir shop packed with Forrest Gump and Bubba Gump merchandise if you’re into memorabilia.
Before leaving, don’t forget to walk a few steps and visit the iconic Route 66 – End of the Trail sign right near the pier — a must for road trip lovers and photographers.
Overall, this is not fine dining, but it’s a fun, iconic Santa Monica experience with decent food, strong movie nostalgia, smart seating options, and an unbeatable location. Definitely worth a stop if you’re already on the pier.

We have wonderful time there. I don’t know his name, but the server is really kind and nice. As we were pondering the menu, he appeared and provided a detailed explanation of the menu. It was very helpful, and we had a pleasant meal. After finishing the meal, he didn’t forget to give us two cups. It seems like they give it to us when we order a specific cocktail and we were happy to receive a surprise gift. The store also offers quizzes about the Forrest Gump movie, you can participate that! Wish you have great time in there.

Bubba Gump in Santa Monica was such a wonderful surprise, we were genuinely impressed. The retro atmosphere, movie photos everywhere and fun details instantly bring Forrest Gump to life. The food was great, fresh and flavorful, and the service was truly outstanding, friendly, attentive and welcoming. They also have a fun store where you can buy souvenir shirts, caps and other items with iconic catch phrases from the movie.
Overall, it was such a great experience and a place that leaves you smiling long after you leave. Definitely worth visiting

This restaurant is inspired by the movie Forrest Gump, one of my all-time favorites. The inside is decorated with photos and scenes from the movie, which is really nice and instantly brings you back to the film.
The food, however, was pretty average and not quite worth the price. The kids’ meal was cute and came served in a little boat, which they enjoyed. I ordered the Cajun shrimp as an appetizer — it was okay. For my entrée, I got the grilled chicken sandwich, which was also just average. Most of the dishes on the menu are fried. We also tried the Bourbon St. Mahi Mahi & Shrimp, and it was just okay as well, missing depth and flavor.
Overall, a fun theme and great nostalgia, but the food itself was average.

Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. at Santa Monica Pier is such a fun experience! The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, with great views and a strong Forrest Gump movie vibe everywhere you look.

Bubba Gump Shrimp Co was a pleasant dining experience! I was surprised at how the service was excellent, dishes were scrumptious and beverages delish. I was expecting this touristy restaurant to be less, but was delighted that I was wrong. It was a fun lunch, especially the method of communicating to your server that you have a need or letting them know you’re good, no attention needed. See the attached pics of fun method! Overall, I was delighted! Truly!
