After a really bad experience in San Francisco we visit this location to take the bad taste we got in San Fran. This is what I called day and night differences!!!!
Starting with the door:
Extremely friendly, lots of smiles, super attentive, “welcome” from every server!
My server Mirna the best of the best! She even gave us so much time she played trivia with us!! She always made sure we were fine.
Appetizers: calamari… so delicious! Fresh! Perfectly cooked, the district kitchen manager brought it to us, he was so friendly!
My entree : DELICIOUS!!! Everything perfectly cooked, my mahi was so juicy, soft!
My drink: Corona-Rita the best! So delicious and simply perfect!
Dessert: key lime pie!!! Super delicious!
Also the manager was so amazing, so attentive, she was by far the best manager I ever met! Too bad I didn’t get her name, everyone here was so friendly and polite definitely will comeback again!

Great place to share a meal! The atmosphere was fun and spot on for my expectations as a themed restaurant. The street views of Times Square were amazing at night, the food was tasty and the prices weren’t bad at all. Decent portions had us wobbling out the door lol! Shoutout to our friendly and attentive server Ryan!

The ambiance inside is outstandingly done! Lots of references to the movie and tons of decor. However the theme doesn’t make up for the quality of the food nor does the pricing. The service wasn’t the best, we placed an order and the waitress made a mistake and they ended up charging us to correct it. The food was nothing special the coconut shrimp was lacking flavor. The clam chowder didn’t have much going for it. I would advise going somewhere else. I will not be returning here after this experience.

Stopped for dinner on a Saturday with our three dogs. Made reservations ahead of time, requested patio seating with 3 dogs joining us. Finding parking was hell. Had to park a ways away and walk there. Once hostess called us, she tried to seat us at a high bar type table where there was no room for the dogs, so we had to ask for a different table. Waitress was very good, friendly, checked on us just enough but not overwhelmingly. Ordered fish & chips and hush puppies and two drinks, mine being a bloody mary. Food was good, but seems their recipe changes every time we go there, this not being the best, for both items. The bloody mary was served warm even though it had ice and tasted like V8 and tobasco sauce only. (2 thumbs down).

Great food and cool Forrest Gump Atmosphere. Great place for a quick bite to eat for lunch or walking around the aquarium all day.
Service was dissapointing especially because it was very slow. Took awhile to get seated and had to go find our servers for service after getting our food.

Our family had a lovely lunch here! We enjoyed a beautiful view of the ocean while eating, with a refreshing breeze adding to the experience. The food was surprisingly delicious and came in generous portions. Despite the restaurant being very busy, the service was still great; the staff were kind and quick to take and serve our orders. Definitely recommended!

I give this place 5 stars! The food was absolutely delicious and full of flavor everything tasted fresh and perfectly cooked. The service was just as amazing , everyone was friendly, attentive, and made us feel really welcome. On top of that, the restaurant has incredible views you can see the ocean right from your table, which makes the whole experience even better. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in Monterey

We enjoyed a comforting spread at Bubba Gump — crispy fish and chips, creamy clam chowder, flavourful pasta, and a generous seafood platter perfect for sharing. Everything came out hot, tasty, and satisfying, with friendly service and a fun, lively atmosphere. A great stop for casual seafood.

Visually very impressive at first glance, with a fun and well-executed Forrest Gump movie theme and a beautifully decorated space. Unfortunately, the experience went downhill fast once the food arrived.
The seafood boil was completely flavorless, and the seasoning tasted like it was sprinkled on after cooking rather than actually cooked into the dish. The dessert cake was dry and disappointing, and the ribs were so skinny and lacking meat that they were barely worth serving. The music was blaring and chaotic, making it almost impossible to enjoy the meal or even talk to the person sitting across from me. The only thing that was remotely enjoyable was the clam chowder, and that was only according to the person I was dining with.
We spent well over $120, and I left feeling like I had wasted my money and my time. For a place with this much hype and aesthetic appeal, the food should at least be decent. Sadly, it was far from it. I won’t be returning.

Loved this places location, I sat at a table next to the window which was a beautiful view… The food was excellent, I ordered steak which was cooked a little to well for me in spite asking for a little pink but it was still good. The server was patient and attentive. Overall it was a great experience would definitely go again when im back in town.
